China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

Zhou Xun was naturally crying with joy. She chased Dou Peng to the capital for love. In the past few years, Jing Piao had slept in basements, stayed at other people's houses, sold songs in bars, and had her hair pulled from behind when she was asked to accompany him while drinking. It was just a slap, but who could know that he had suffered so many grievances?

But now that she actually won the Best Actress at the Tokyo Film Festival, all the grievances and regrets she had accumulated in the past few years came to her heart, and tears kept pouring out.

After Wu Yuchen took Zhou Xun to the stage, he saw the somewhat fierce-looking Takeshi Kitano smiling kindly at the two of them. He didn't care about the joke he just made on the two of them. After all, winning the award was the most important thing. He was very happy and looked at Kitano Takeshi very well.

Kitano Takeshi did not tease the two of them again this time, and handed the two trophies to the two of them smoothly.

The moment Zhou Xun held the trophy, he smiled brightly with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he felt that all the previous experiences were worth it!

Wu Yuchen handed the microphone to Zhou Xun first, but Zhou Xun, who had experienced this battle for the first time, was so excited that he didn't know what to say: I... thank you! Thank you Director Wu, thank you Grandma Jin, thank you everyone!

However, everyone present also understood her mood and responded with kind applause.

Wu Yuchen had already experienced Berlin and Sydney. Although he was happy, his mentality was still very stable. He picked up the microphone and said with a smile:

Grandma Jin Yaqin was unable to come due to health reasons. Before I came, I joked with Grandma Jin and asked if she would thank me if I could bring her a trophy this time. Grandma Jin said she would give it to me when I get back. I’m making dumplings to eat, it looks like I’m in luck!”

Most people here in Neon also knew what dumplings were, and they all laughed at Wu Yuchen's words, and the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became relaxed.

Then Wu Yuchen said seriously:

Grandma Jin Yaqin is really an outstanding actress. She has been working on the front line of her acting career for most of her life. Although she played small roles or supporting roles, she has never complained. This Tokyo Film Festival can The Best Actress award is awarded to her. I think this is the best gift for Grandma Jin Yaqin! Thank you!

After everyone in the audience heard Wu Yuchen's speech, they burst into applause. After all, a 70-year-old man who has devoted most of his life to performing, everyone here must admire her from the bottom of their hearts.

Amidst the applause, Wu Yuchen took Zhou Xun off the stage. When he returned to his seat, Zhou Xun still held the trophy and kept touching it, and even kissed it several times.

Wu Yuchen smiled, then turned to continue paying attention to the award ceremony.

After Best Actress, it is natural to go to Best Actor. This award has nothing to do with The Two of Us, but Wu Yuchen is still very concerned about it, because Mr. Zhu Xu, the male protagonist of Face, was shortlisted, and he won it in his previous life. Got the movie king.

And this time there was no surprise. Mr. Zhu Xu won the Best Actor trophy as he wished with his wonderful performance.

After the actor award, the next one is the best director award involving Wu Yuchen.

In addition to him, there are also Wu Tianming of Face, Jan Sverak of Give Me a Dad, Krzytov Zanussi of Road to Freedom, Growing Up The Process” by Vincent Aranda.

The presenter was a neon little old man. He went up to talk first and praised each director before slowly tearing open the envelope.

The best director is, Face, Wu Tianming!

After hearing the result, Wu Yuchen was relieved. He must have been a little disappointed, but he can control his emotions well now, and then he quickly applauded director Wu Tianming. They are all Chinese, so naturally he should do the same. Be happy for him.

It can be said that Face is really the big winner this year, winning two awards for Best Actor and Best Director. This means that the domestic Internet has just been born at this time, otherwise it would have become famous in one fell swoop.

The last two awards are the Jury Award and the Golden Qilin Award. The two awards were also awarded to 5 films, including The Two of Us and Face/Off, but it is estimated that Face/Off, which won two awards in a row, has little chance.

Wu Yuchen raised his awareness again. Although he had already won the Best Actress award, who wouldn't want to win a more important award? Moreover, the copyright price can also increase after winning the award!

After the award presenters came up, as usual, they played the introductory clips of the five movies. To be honest, the mood of the five crew members was a little subtle at this time. Because the Jury Prize is actually the second prize under Best Picture. If you win the Jury Prize, you will definitely not be able to win the Golden Kirin.

Everyone wants to win the Golden Qilin, but they don’t want to end up empty-handed, so they have a complicated attitude toward the jury award.

The jury award for this year's film festival is...

As the award-presenting guest spoke, he glanced down, and finally fixed his gaze on Wu Yuchen: You and me!

Wu Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief at the name that came out of the guest's mouth, and then a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. Next to him, Zhou Xun was so happy that he hugged Wu Yuchen and kept saying congratulations and the like.

After Wu Yuchen let go of Zhou Xun, he quickly shook hands with Wu Tianming and Huang Jianxin who reached over, and then walked up to the podium with his head held high.

Wu Yuchen took the trophy gracefully, then smiled into the microphone and said:

Two of Us is a small production with a cost of less than 50,000 US dollars, and it is also my first personal feature film. However, it has been loved and recognized by so many people. I think it is because of the wonderful message it conveys. The simplest and most innocent emotion between people.

Thank you to the movie channel for their investment and support for The Two of Us, to Grandma Jin Yaqin, Zhou Xun and all the crew members for their dedication, to the audience for their love of The Two of Us, and to the organizing committee for affirming the film and myself. Thank you everyone!

After returning to his position, Zhou Xun came over with a smile, gave a thumbs up and said: Director, what you said is really good!

But Wu Yuchen saw her eyes constantly glancing at the trophy, so he didn't know what she was thinking? He handed the trophy directly to her, making Zhou Xun smile with crooked eyebrows again.

In fact, Wu Yuchen also had some illusions about the Golden Kirin Award just before the awards were presented, but now that he has landed, he feels relaxed and only feels joy. After all, it is already a great harvest to win the Best Actress and the Grand Jury Award!

Finally, in the tense atmosphere of several other crews, and with the attention of the whole audience, the Golden Qilin Award was indeed awarded to the popular Czech film Give Me a Dad.

On the night after the award ceremony, the Chinese delegation gathered together for a celebration banquet. Tian Zhuangzhuang, who had completed his duties as a judge this time, also came.

Huang Jianxin raised a glass of wine and said happily:

This time, The Two of Us and Face Changing won four awards in a row. It's really a bumper harvest. It's a worthwhile trip! Come and have a drink together!

Huang Jianxin didn't care about the lack of success in his Red Light, Green Light. In fact, he had expected it before because it was a comedy. It would be great if he could be shortlisted for the film festival this time and find an opportunity to sell the copyright. Goal achieved.

At the dinner table, everyone was beaming with joy. The Chinese-language film was the biggest winner this year, and everyone talked about their various experiences after coming to Tokyo.

When the conversation was in full swing, Tian Zhuangzhuang also talked about some things during their jury selection, and then said to Wu Yuchen: Xiao Wu, it's a pity that your Two of Us was released.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. Is it a pity to win the debut award?

Wu Yuchen couldn't help but look at Tian Zhuangzhuang. Tian Zhuangzhuang took a sip of tea and then explained in detail:

The quality of the Czech film Give Me a Dad cannot be overemphasized. It is indeed good. But the film that attracted the most attention and the greatest response at this film festival was Two of Us, which resonated with the neon people. !”

Everyone thought the same. Whether it was the emotions expressed or the issues of empty nesters, Two of Us hit the current soft spot of Neon people.

Tian Zhuangzhuang continued:

Among the five members of the jury, there was a neon man named Nishioka Yoshinobu, who strongly wanted to award the Golden Kirin to The Two of Us. I also voted for it. But the chairman is Serge Silberman of Poland. He said that if the Golden Unicorn was also awarded to The Two of Us, then the Tokyo Film Festival would become a one-man show for Chinese-language films, and we couldn't play like this, so in the end we awarded the Grand Jury Prize to The Two of Us.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that this was what happened!

Wu Yuchen understood after hearing this, but he didn't react much emotionally. He just smiled and said: This Polish guy is not as courageous as senior brother Zhang Yimou!

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then laughed loudly: It's really not as good as it is, it's far worse!

At the 43rd Berlin Film Festival in 1993, Lao Mouzi, as the chairman of the jury, insisted on making a double yolk of the Berlin Golden Bear Award, and awarded it to Xie Fei's The Fragrant Soul Girl and Li An at the same time. The Wedding Banquet.

That’s right, two Chinese-language movies won Golden Bears at the same time!

There is a saying, Lao Mouzi is really capable of handling this matter!

Wu Yuchen made a joke, and then said:

But to be honest, it's good now. If Jin Qilin is really given to The Two of Us, then the best actress in The Two of Us may be gone. I have two best actresses for Jin Qilin. A jury award, earn it!”

In fact, this kind of film festival awards inevitably involves the issue of dividing the cake. It is impossible for one movie to take up all the awards. Most of the time, everyone sits in a row to eat the fruits, unless it can really crush all other movies.

Seeing the sincerity of Wu Yuchen's words, Tian Zhuangzhuang admired his open-mindedness. For many directors, they would rather give up all other awards in exchange for the best picture award.

Then Tian Zhuangzhuang thought of something and said to Wu Yuchen: Xiao Wu, I heard that your movie is a TV movie invested by the movie channel. You go back and discuss with them, at least find a cinema to show it, and then you can participate in next year's Golden Rooster The award has been selected.”

I remember, thank you, Teacher Tian, ​​for reminding me! Wu Yuchen picked up the wine and toasted him again.

Later, including Zhou Xun, Wu Tianming and Zhu Xu, they all followed up to toast Tian Zhuangzhuang and thank them. After all, they were able to win the award because of the contribution of the judge Tian Zhuangzhuang.

After the awards ceremony, the Huaxia Troupe also parted ways. Huang Jianxin took his crew and left first, while The Two of Us and Face Changing had to stay to discuss copyright matters separately.

In a neon teahouse, Wu Yuchen met an old acquaintance from yesterday's awards ceremony. It was Takeshi Kitano who awarded the Best Actress to The Two of Us!

Kitano Takeshi may have a common problem among comedians, he seldom smiles in private, and coupled with his somewhat fierce face, he really looks like a real person.

Wu Sang, please sell me the film rights to The Two of Us, please!

Wu Yuchen looked at Kitano Takeshi and remembered his relationship with Jia Zhangke. Jia Lao's Xiao Wu attracted Kitano Takeshi's attention after it won the award at the Berlin Film Festival. He sympathized with Jia Zhangke, who was accustomed to using long lenses and focusing on low-level people. After that, Kitano Takeshi Studio invested in most of Lao Jia's films. Established long-term cooperation.

Mr. Kitano, if you can give me a suitable condition, I would be happy to entrust The Two of Us to you. Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

Wu Sang, I will first arrange for The Two of Us to be released in Yanbo Cinema, and then expand it to an all-neon art theater. I will definitely ensure that The Two of Us can be seen by as many people as possible.

In the neon literary and art circles, there is a saying that see Tokyo for neon, and see Iwanami in Tokyo. Films that can be screened here have a great chance of being favored by all neon art theaters.

Wu Yuchen nodded and said calmly: Mr. Kitano, actually Iwanami Cinema has contacted me, and they are willing to arrange for the release of The Two of Us as soon as possible.

Takeshi Kitano was silent for a moment. He originally thought that Wu Yuchen, a young director, would be easier to fool, draw a picture and then cut the price, but it didn't work.

He thought for a while and said: Wu Sang, Takeshi Kitano Studio is willing to buy the copyright of The Two of Us at a high price of US$300,000.

Mr. Kitano, it seems that your sincerity is lacking. I can tell you privately that after The Two of Us won the award yesterday, Mr. Kazuo Fukasawa contacted me by phone and hoped to buy it for US$500,000. Asian rights to ‘Both of Us’.”

After finishing speaking, Wu Yuchen picked up the teacup and took a sip, but said no more.

Kitano Takeshi's eyelids twitched. He knew Kazuo Fukasawa. He was the general manager of Toho Towa, who was responsible for introducing overseas movies for distribution on Neon. He was very interested in Chinese culture.

Kitano Takeshi didn't want to grind it off little by little, so he simply asked directly: Wu Sang, what price do you want?

1,000,000.

This is impossible! Takeshi Kitano flatly refused.

The current exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen is 1:110, and 1 million US dollars is 110 million yen. If you spend so much money to buy it, the box office of The Two of Us will have to reach nearly 300 million yen to recover the cost.

The risk is too great!
