Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is a tradition, or unspoken rule, in the film festival. The day before the closing ceremony, the organizers of the film festival will notify all the creators of the winning crew to walk on the red carpet of the closing ceremony.  And Cheng Peng and the others received an official notice the day before the closing ceremony, requiring all the main creators of "The Two of Us" to leave the closing red carpet, which means there will definitely be prizes.  After a burst of crazy cheers, Cheng Peng called Jin Yaqin.  The old lady is the soul of the film. Without her, the quality of the entire film would be greatly reduced. After the film premiered, the media was full of praise for her performance.  He hoped that the old lady could attend the closing ceremony and share the joy together, but the old lady was still in poor health and could not go to Berlin.  When the domestic media learned that "The Two of Us" had won the award, they were also overjoyed, because the last time a Chinese-language film won the Golden Bear was back in 1993. That time, Ang Lee's "The Wedding Banquet" and Xie Fei's "The Fragrant Soul Girl"  " jointly shared the Golden Bear; and now "The Two of Us" ranks second in the field review score, second only to "Go Forward"'s 3.5, and it is very likely to win the Golden Bear.  But Cheng Peng is not as optimistic as the media, because the judges of the program and the judges of the movie are different people. The movie you like may not be liked by others. There are many cases where a hit fails. The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" won the Cannes Film Festival.  The magazine's highest score was 3.3, but it won no awards; Wong Kar-wai's "2046" had a field magazine score of 3.3, but it also won nothing.  There is also a particularly obvious example. At the 2014 Berlin Film Festival, "Boyhood" reached a record-breaking 3.7 points in the program, but in the end it only won the Best Director Award; while "Fireworks in the Day" won the Golden Bear  "The program's score was only 2.3 points, ranking eighth; in addition, Lou Ye's "Massage" only had 1.5 points, ranking last, but it won the Best Artistic Contribution Award, so scoring and winning are two different things.  What's more, "Go Forward" is a film that reflects the life of Turks in Germany. It is an immigration theme with a profound and serious theme. This kind of film about national integration and understanding has very strong practical significance and is particularly suitable for winning awards.  Although "Two of Us" is also about communication between people, the pattern is relatively small, just the emotional conflict between two people, and cultural differences always exist. There are some things that European and American judges cannot understand.  At six o¡¯clock in the evening, Berlin time, reporters were standing on both sides of the red carpet, waiting to interview the celebrities present; and the photo area was packed with people, crowded with photographers, waiting to take the perfect photo.  But the biggest crowd on both sides of the red carpet were fans. They stood on both sides of the barriers holding posters and various words of support, shouting loudly to cheer for their favorite idols.  As stars appeared one after another, the lights flashed crazily, fans shouted crazily, and the whole scene was boiling again and again.  When the car Cheng Peng was riding in came to a slow stop, the security guard stepped forward and opened the door. He got out of the car with a smile and stepped onto the red carpet of the film festival again.  Cheng Peng is still dressed as he was at the premiere, in a formal suit. There is nothing we can do about it. On the red carpet of the closing ceremony, whether you are a celebrity, an audience, a photographer, or a reporter, you must all attend in formal attire.  Women need to wear a dress and high-heeled leather shoes; men need a suit, leather shoes, white shirt and bow tie. Ties are not allowed. The security guards will not let you in if you wear other clothes.  Cheng Peng was greeted by the flashing lights of the media and a few familiar-sounding shouts. He raised his head and saw several international students he met at the premiere, and waved to them with a smile.  Several girls screamed even more energetically.  During the premiere, no one even knew what he was doing, but now someone is calling his name, and Cheng Peng is very satisfied.  But this time he didn't go over to chat with a few girls. After Tong Lixi and the other three came over, they walked onto the red carpet side by side.  The photographers all remembered Tong Lixi. Although she was wearing a red skirt today, and the style was completely different, she was still very beautiful. They pressed the shutter crazily, and squandered their papers crazily, trying to record her every smile.  Come down, Chinese style once again swept the audience.  Cheng Peng is a director, so there is no point in taking photos like that. Instead, it is more important to have a good relationship with the media. He only stayed in the photo area for a while, and then went to the side to accept interviews from domestic media.  "Director Cheng, which award are you sure about?" "None of them, but if I have hope, I hope the award will be as large as possible, preferably the Golden Bear Award!" Cheng Peng replied with a smile, this is true  If you are not sure, even if you ask Li An to come, he will be just as unsure.  ¡°You¡¯re about to win the award, how are you feeling now? ¡°It¡¯s quite complicated. This feeling is a bit similar to when we were children when we were receiving final exam results, full of expectations and a little nervous.  " After briefly answering a few questions, the four of them, Cheng Peng, walked into the awards ceremony at the Film Palace, sat down in their seats,?Waiting for the award ceremony to begin.  Soon, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the stage flashed with lights. The originally chaotic scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone focused their attention on the stage.  "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the 54th Berlin International Film Festival. Today, outstanding filmmakers from all over the world gather together" Under the eyes of everyone, host Franke Potente walked out  She took the stage to kick off the closing ceremony. She is the wife of the famous German director Tom Tykwer, and she is also the red-haired Lola in "Run Lola Run".  Film festival awards have always been relatively simple, not as fancy as the Oscars, with song and dance performances interspersed from time to time. What's more, this is a German event, so it is naturally more serious.  After Franca Potente made a series of opening remarks, he invited the film festival chairman Kosoliko to the stage, asked him to say a few words, and then went directly to the film festival's awards process.  The first to be awarded is the Best First Film Award. This award is not selected by the judges of the main competition unit, but by a special three-person jury. It selects the best debut films from all the film festivals  Selecting the best one means that as long as it is the director's first feature film, he will automatically be eligible to participate in the awards.  "Two of Us" is Cheng Peng's debut film, so it is naturally qualified to participate in the selection of the best debut film.  However, he does not hope that he will win this award, because once he wins this award, it is difficult to say whether he can win another award in the future; if he does not win this award, he will definitely win a silver bear or even a golden bear.  The person in charge of awarding the award is Ozon, the chairman of the jury for the Best Debut Film Award. He is a young director who has risen in recent years and is a frequent visitor to the film festival. Two years ago, he also won the Berlin Film Festival with "Eight Beauties".  Won the Best Art Award.  ??Ou Rong is talented, handsome, and a famous handsome director, so as soon as he came on stage, countless female audiences went crazy and screamed loudly.  He came to the microphone in the center of the stage, nodded in greeting, and said with a smile: "It is a great honor to serve as a judge for Best Newcomer. I am also a newcomer. The films participating in the selection this time are all very good, and we have to choose one from them.  It was very difficult, but after the deliberations of our three judges, one film was the final winner." At this point, Ou Rong raised his voice: "The winner of the Best Debut Film Award is" He paused deliberately.  , raised his head and looked at the audience with a smile on his face, "It's "Two of Us"!" Although Cheng Peng didn't expect to win this award, when the award actually fell into his hands, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.  , an indescribable joy spread in his heart, he clenched his fists with both hands, waved it heavily, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.  "Xiaopeng, it's you, it's you!" Amidst the deafening applause, Tong Lixi jumped up from his seat and shouted uncontrollably, with unspeakable joy on his face.  Zhao Linlin and Zhang Meng both stood up and clapped loudly: "Xiaopeng, you have won the award, congratulations!" "Xiaopeng, congratulations!" "This award is not for me alone, but also for your hard work.  , we won the prize!" Cheng Peng smiled and hugged Tong Lixi, and then hugged Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin.  After hugging his three partners, Cheng Peng took a breath, calmed down, and strode onto the stage with a smile.  "Congratulations. The movie is very good. I hope you can shoot more excellent works!" Ou Rong said softly. He hugged Cheng Peng and then handed the trophy in his hand to Cheng Peng.  .  The Best First Feature Award is a separate award, and the trophy is not a standard trophy, but a high-end director¡¯s viewfinder, which is a very practical tool for directors.  Cheng Peng held the viewfinder and it felt heavy. He smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you. I will definitely work harder and make better movies!" "I'm very happy to receive this award." Cheng Peng looked up.  Under the stands, I wanted to see Tong Lixi and the others, but it was so dark and there were strong flashes of light that I couldn't tell them apart at all. I could only continue to publish my acceptance speech, "This is the first movie I have shot. During the filming process,  I encountered a lot of difficulties, both external factors and internal factors. Fortunately, I met a group of friends who share my passion for movies. They supported me and allowed me to reach this podium. Here I am.  I want to say, thank you, thank you for your support, you share my honor, thank you!¡± Flash lights flashed in the audience, and the strong light made Cheng Peng feel dizzy. He suddenly remembered that he had made a fortune a few months ago.  During the press conference of "Long Wei and Son", he could only stand on the edge at that time, but now he is standing in the middle, enjoying his own glory.
