China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

As the awards were announced, the audience couldn't help but roar, and then burst into warm applause.

Run Lola Run is a popular movie, and most of the people present have watched it. They also learned through reports that director Wu Yuchen is only 19 years old this year, which is simply too young.

There is no doubt that this is definitely the youngest best director in the history of the three majors, setting a record!

That's why people started to exclamate, but those who had watched Run Lola Run also admired the talent of this young director and immediately started to applaud. Being able to steal the Best Director from such outstanding directors as Milos Forman, Anthony Minghella, and Eric Herman, he is really rich this time!

When Wu Yuchen heard Wu, he was excited all over. When Run Lola Run was read out, he made up his mind and stood up, raised his arms and shouted YES!

You won the prize! You're the best director! The best director in Berlin!

Li Xiaoran next to him had no scruples and hugged him directly, cheering, his face flushed with excitement.

Wu Yuchen was also excited at this time. Although it won the Berlin Short Film Golden Bear last year, the impact of short films and feature films is hugely different. The Two of Us won an award at the Tokyo Film Festival before, but the influence of the Tokyo Film Festival is far from that of the three major films. Europe and the United States may not be able to take it seriously.

Therefore, this Berlin Best Director can be said to be the most important international award he has received so far. From now on, Wu Yuchen can be said to be a famous figure in the international film industry.

Everyone looked at the excitement of Wu Yuchen and Li Xiaoran with kind smiles. After all, young people can always be tolerated.

After Wu Yuchen calmed down a little, he also took steps towards the podium. Along the way, he shook hands or hugged compatriots such as Huang Jianxin and Er Dongsheng. Zhang Guorong also hugged him gently and congratulated him. :

Director Wu, congratulations!

Thank you, Mr. Rong~

Wu Yuchen simply thanked him and walked towards the stage. Along the way, the applause never stopped.

He walked to the podium and gave Brecht a slight hug, then took the Silver Bear trophy from her and looked towards the audience.

It's hard to describe how I feel at this moment. I'm very happy, and I feel like I'm dreaming! On the way to the stage just now, I could clearly hear my rapidly beating heartbeat. I said to myself, if this is a dream, don't let it happen. I woke up!

Everyone in the audience smiled when they heard this. At the same time, they could understand the excitement of a 19-year-old boy who suddenly won the award.

“I’m really grateful to the jury for recognizing me! There are really many excellent films and directors this year. To be able to win this trophy, God must have kissed my forehead today!

Thank you to actors such as Li Xiaoran and Fu Dalong for their wonderful performances, thank you to the crew for their hard work, thank you...

Finally, after a series of thanks, Wu Yuchen walked off the podium amidst applause.

After Wu Yuchen returned to his seat, he saw Li Xiaoran staring at the trophy in his hand, so he handed it to her and let her play with it. At the same time, he felt relieved.

Before, he had some hope in his heart to see if he could win the Golden Bear, but now that he has won the Best Director Award, he no longer thinks so much. In any case, this trip to Berlin has been worthwhile, and the Best Director Award is also an important recognition for him as a director.

He turned his attention to the stage again. The next award to be awarded was the Jury Prize.

The conversation I had with Harris from EMI Pictures before was still in my mind. At that time, they said it would be the Best Director Award and the jury's choice. Now it seems that the other party has fulfilled his promise, which is not bad.

The award-winning guest on stage at this time was none other than Zhang Manyu. She was wearing a black dress and her hair was very fluffy and trendy.

Maggie Cheung adheres to the down-to-earth style of the Berlin Film Festival and is not long-winded:

The winner of tonight's jury award is Port of Jimma!

Eric Herman sighed when he heard the name of his movie. At the age of 77, he is a frequent visitor to the three major movies. He no longer cares too much about the jury. He hopes to win the Golden Bear this time, but The goal was not achieved.

Directors such as Sex Book Tycoon and The English Patient who were also aiming for the Golden Bear breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wu Yuchen's first thought after hearing this was that the judges of this year are really good at dividing the cake. The best actor was given to Romeo and Juliet, the best actress was given to The English Patient, the best director was given to Run Lola Run, and the jury gave the French Port Guima.

This is normal. Chairman Lang himself is a French filmmaker, so it is certainly impossible for his country’s films to earn nothing.

Just when Wu Yuchen was about to applaud, Zhang Manyu continued: ...and Run Lola Run!

There was an uproar in the hall. Unexpectedly, this year's jury award was a double yolk!

The Grand Jury Prize is actually the second place among all films, which means second place. As a result, you picked the second one and two more!

In fact, there is no precedent for double yolks in the Grand Jury Prize. Cannes has already had double yolks several times.

At the 42nd Cannes, Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso and Beauty Too Beautiful tied for the Jury Prize, and the Palme d'Or was Sex, Lies and Videotape.

In 1990, Law and Stab of Death were on the jury at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival.

In the 47th Cannes Film Festival in 1994, Lao Mouzi's Alive and The Sun were both awarded by the jury, and Quentin Quentin's Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or.

There are very few Jury Double Yolks in Berlin, but the Golden Bear has had both, so this Jury Double Yolk is not too surprising.

The most surprising thing is actually Wu Yuchen himself, I didn’t expect there to be one!

He was really surprised and happy at this time. What he was thinking now was, EMI Pictures is really awesome, and Mr. Lang, the chairman of the jury, is really capable!

This not only won him the Best Director award, but also an additional Jury Prize. Although the double yolk may lower the quality by one point, this is a completely unexpected surprise, so there are no conditions to negotiate!

Wu Yuchen, who had just stepped off the stage, stepped onto the podium again, and then gave a big hug to Zhang Manyu who was smiling, and said in her ear: Thank you, Sister Maggie!

Wu Yuchen knew that this time Lola Run could win two awards at the same time, and it would definitely be inseparable from Zhang Manyu's help.

You deserve it, the movie is really great! Zhang Manyu said with a smile, and then handed the trophy to Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen holds the trophy and is tied with Eric Herman, who also won the award. First, Eric Herman gave a speech to express his thanks. After all, he is an old-timer. After politely speaking briefly, he gave up the microphone to Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen smiled, then looked at the audience and raised his hand and said:

First of all, I would like to ask my male and female protagonists Li Xiaoran and Fu Dalong, as well as several members of the crew to stand up and say thank you to everyone!

It was said that they were asked to thank everyone, but in fact they were asked to accept the applause and cheers from the audience. Everyone understood this, so they clapped and cheered in cooperation.

Li Xiaoran, Fu Dalong and others all smiled happily after standing up, waving to people in all directions, and then bowed to thank them.

After the applause stopped, Wu Yuchen said:

This award belongs to our entire crew and those who helped us. Thank you for their hard work and accompanying me to complete the filming of this film. Without your support, there would be no Run Lola Run today!

After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he raised the trophy in his hand and waved it, and then walked off the stage amidst applause.

This time Wu Yuchen felt completely relaxed and relieved, because there would be no more surprises in the future. If he won the jury, there would be no more Golden Bears.

After returning to his seat, he handed the trophy to Fu Dalong and others, asking them to take turns holding it, and then he looked at the stage again.

In the end, there was only one Golden Bear Award left, and Wu Yuchen estimated that it was Sex Book Tycoon. Several of them had already won awards, and there was only one Sex Book Tycoon left. This movie is so in line with Berlin's tastes. Probably nothing.

As expected: Congratulations to Sex Book Tycoon for winning the Golden Bear for Best Film this year!

Wu Yuchen smiled and clapped his hands. This time the jury was still very clear about dividing the cake, but his Run Lola Run got an extra piece. He was considered the biggest winner under Sex Book Tycoon, and he felt again in his heart. Thanks to Zhang Manyu. It was a deal with EMI, and Zhang Manyu helped him out of love, not out of duty.

After the award ceremony, there is also a party, which is mainly for everyone to celebrate and communicate. Wu Yuchen held up his wine glass and went to express his gratitude to Chairman Lang and the female judges who supported him, and then returned to the Chinese filmmakers.

At this time, Leslie Cheung said to Wu Yuchen: Director Wu, I just heard Maggie talk about Lola Run and it was a pity that I almost didn't win the Golden Bear.

Oh? Wu Yuchen also looked at Zhang Manyu curiously.

Maggie Cheung said: The Golden Bear Award has actually been discussed several times. Chairman Mr. Lang supported Run Lola Run, but it was still one vote behind Sex Book Tycoon. Until the last time, Lang said that such good new wave movies must be encouraged, no The Golden Bear had to be compensated in other ways, and the other judges agreed and finally rated a double yolk.

After Wu Yuchen heard this, he was convinced. If Run Laura won the Golden Bear, then I guess the best director would definitely not be him. Maybe it would be replaced by Sex Book Tycoon and Run Laura and the treatment would be reversed. .

Then he smiled and raised his glass to Zhang Manyu: Thank you, Sister Maggie, I am very satisfied with the two grand prizes. Without you, I might not have won either!

Haha, your movie is very suitable for us women! Zhang Manyu said with a smile.

Wu Yuchen was also very happy at this time. Fortunately, this time he met Maggie Cheung who was willing to fight for Chinese-language films. If someone else had changed, he might not have been able to help him.

Everyone understands the truth that one’s deeds do not matter one’s heart. In a previous life, a netizen posted a summary post, which ranked the contribution of Chinese judges to winning awards for Chinese-language films in the three major European film festivals. That is, the ranking was based solely on the contribution made to Chinese-language films winning awards during their tenure as judges.

The recognized number one, super god-level figure is Lao Mouzi. Every time he serves as a judge, he will give heavy awards to Chinese films, mostly golden bears and golden lions. Then tied for second place are Zhang Manyu and Liang Chaowei.

Even Wu Baige, who was criticized by many people, won the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2005 for the film Blue and Red. This is no joke. 15 years later, the judge of that year, Bernard Jacques, broke the news about the inside story of that year's awards, saying that Wu Baige had been silent before, but when the discussion about Green Red came, he suddenly stood up and spoke solemnly. :

I can't take sides with all the films you discussed before, but I am about to return to my motherland to shoot a historical war film. If Blue Red returns empty-handed, as a Chinese filmmaker, I cannot explain to the country, I We need the support of people across the country!”

People said that he was so straightforward, and the other judges were too embarrassed to criticize him, so they just won the Jury Award for Blue and Red. Wang Xiaoshuai really had to thank Wu Baige.

In contrast, when it was the turn of Chen Kaizi and Johnnie To, who has served as a judge three times, the Chinese-language films were basically useless, and their performance in the jury could only be evaluated as waste. However, there was someone at the bottom of the list of losers, and that was Yang Fan, who was scolded as a piece of shit.

Through this selection, Wu Yuchen has a deeper understanding of the influence of judges. In the future, if he wants to participate in the three major film festivals, he still has to target these judges who can get along with him. It is best to have Lao Mouzi as a judge. That is really powerful. Help your own people!

What? Best Director? And the jury!

At this time, it was still less than 6 o'clock in the morning in Beijing, and the sky was gray. Han Sanping, who was only wearing long johns and a coat, couldn't care less about the cold. After hearing Wu Yuchen's words on the other side of the phone, he suddenly woke up and his whole body was filled with blood. Upwelling.

Run Lola Run was co-produced with Yindu under the Beijing Film Studio's brand. It was just to do a favor, but I didn't expect that it would win two awards!

This made Han Sanping extremely happy, it was equivalent to a wasted honor!

Xiao Wu, no, I have to call you Director Wu from now on!

Hahaha, you can win prizes every time you make a move. Isn’t that considered your skill? Young people don’t have to be too modest!

I will prepare a commendation meeting for you right now and arrange it when you come back!

Yeah, okay, I'll go find out about this in person at work later.

Han Sanping was full of joy after hanging up the phone, but thinking about Wu Yuchen's question about whether it could be released, he couldn't decide and had to ask. Although it could be filmed at the beginning, that was because the filming location was not in the Mainland. It was one thing to let the film be filmed, and another thing to let it be released in the Mainland. After all, the protagonist's behavior was not very consistent with the core values.

Three days later, Wu Yuchen flew back to the capital with a group of people. Everyone was happy to return home with a full load.

At the airport gate, in addition to a car from Miracle Pictures, someone from Beijing Film Studio also came to pick him up. It was none other than the junior section chief Yu Dong.

As soon as he saw Wu Yuchen, he trotted over, held Wu Yuchen's hand with both hands and said excitedly with an excited smile on his face:

Returning in triumph! Director Wu, you are so amazing! You are the best director in Berlin! I am so impressed!

This time I took the initiative to ask Director Han to pick you up. I couldn’t explain the joy in my heart unless I saw you for the first time!

Senior, you're welcome. In fact, our company has a car here, so you don't need to go to such trouble. Seeing Yu Dong's affectionate attitude, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but feel good about him even though he knew his temperament. He is truly a public relations expert.

Director Han has told me that you are the hero of our Chinese-language films. You have worked so hard to win the trophy from Berlin. I can't let you be tired on the road!

Wu Yuchen chuckled, and then asked: Senior Yu, I'm not too tired, why don't you take me to see Factory Director Han first!

Okay, I'll call him right now. Factory Director Han has specially made an appointment with a reporter to interview you.

Wu Yuchen's heart moved. This seemed like it could be used for publicity. If so, would there be any success in releasing it?

With anticipation, Wu Yuchen and his party arrived at Beijing Film Studio first.

In the office, Han Sanping looked at the trophy, then smiled at Wu Yuchen and said:

What I mean is, actually, you guys need to rest for two days. I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry. Those reporters haven't arrived yet!

Haha, Director Han, I am in high spirits now that I just won the award. After two days, my excitement will pass, and I won't even want to go out again. Wu Yuchen was also joking.

He actually wanted to finish these chores at once so that everyone could have a good rest after returning.

Then he asked: Director Han, what can I say about the release?

When Han Sanping heard this question, his smile faded slightly and he shook his head: I ran over and asked in person, but it's still not easy to get it screened.

Wu Yuchen sighed when he heard this. In fact, he had expected such a result when he was first filming, but he had some ideas after hearing the interview earlier.

But it just can't go to theaters. You can promote the award-winning thing. As for the disc, you can make up your own mind.

Wu Yuchen's heart moved and he asked: It's the same as Alive?

Han Sanping smiled and nodded.

Now Wu Yuchen understands, that is, except for theatrical screenings, everything else is acquiesced. The same goes for Alive, which was not allowed to be released, but the Six Princesses have played it many times. The Sixth Princess even aired Domestic Lingling Paint, in which the image of the police was not very good. If this can be aired, then Run Lola Run will definitely be aired as well.

Wu Yuchen laughed now. In fact, he didn't like the domestic box office. He just regretted that it was not allowed to be broadcast and his name could not be spread.

But looking at it now, both this disc and the Sixth Princess can be played. That doesn't seem to be a bad thing. This time, it also gained a reputation as a banned film.

If he has never been banned, what kind of avant-garde literary and artistic director is he?

Look at Lao Mouzi and Jiang Wen, which one has never been banned?

This is the case in the domestic literary and art circles. The more banned a film is, the more classic it is, and the more it arouses the desire of movie fans to explore. With the reputation of being a banned film, many movies have been raised three points in popularity out of thin air.

Not only can he be known as a banned film, but he can also promote his award-winning work of Wu Yuchen and Lola Run on a large scale. This seems to be a good deal!
