Not only did Xue Kaishan have ambitions for the Golden Bear Award, but CCTV hosts and domestic movie fans also began to shift their focus after Li Yi's defeat.
Xue Kaishan is one of the four most famous directors in China.
It has become a fact that Li Yi cannot win the award, but isn't there still Xue Kaishan?
The same is true for Chinese directors. It would be great if Xue Kaishan and "Life in Gray" could win the Golden Bear Award!
"According to the practice of the Berlin International Film Festival, as long as you get the invitation letter for the closing ceremony, you will not leave empty-handed. That is to say, although there is no chance for the Golden Bear Award for "Life Is Beautiful", the famous Chinese director Xue Kaishan and his "Gray Life" actually has more hope of winning this award!..."
However, before Xue Kaishan envisioned the moment when he defeated Li Yi and won the Golden Bear Award, the CCTV host had not finished speaking.
However, the award presenter did not show off and directly announced that the winner of the Berlin International Film Festival's Special Jury Award was "Grey Life"!
Xue Kaishan suddenly had mixed feelings.
He didn't dare to compare "Life in Gray" with "Life is Beautiful", and he wouldn't think that the Berlin International Film Festival would really treat him more favorably.
Compared with influence, popularity, and even the movie itself, he cannot compare with "Life is Beautiful".
It's just that I had hope before, but I didn't expect that the hope would be shattered so quickly.
But no matter what, it is a good award to win the special jury award.
Xue Kaishan walked onto the podium with a smile on his face.
For Xue Kaishan, although this award is not as good as the Best Director, the Jury Prize, and the Golden Bear Award, it is still a film award, and for him, it is also a kind of affirmation.
At least it can change the embarrassing situation he faced before.
It wants box office but not box office, it wants awards but not awards.
At least this award will allow him, Xue Kaishan, to no longer be criticized by netizens for not living up to his reputation.
At this time, Li Yi actually didn't care much about the award ceremony.
In fact, Li Yi's fans also feel that the awards ceremony has become a bit boring at this moment.
However, this Berlin International Film Festival seems to just want to play gimmicks and want to be different.
Silver Bear for Best Director.
The gold content of this award is actually quite high.
However, because of the existence of the Golden Bear Award and the Grand Jury Prize, although these two awards are said to be awarded to films, they are actually also director awards to a certain extent.
The weight is a little more substantial than that of Best Director, which makes the Best Director Award a bit embarrassing.
It can be said that it is really not even a little bit different from the Oscar for Best Director.
When people mention the three major European film festivals, the highest award is usually the first one to win, followed by the jury award, and then the best actor and best actress.
On the contrary, the Best Director Award is embarrassing.
But this award still attracts a lot of attention.
What’s interesting is that there are actually two remaining crew members who have not received awards yet, but have received invitations.
Therefore, their mood at this moment is more tangled than Li Yi's.
They really don’t particularly want this award.
Because there are only three awards left.
It can be said that we are getting closer to the Palme d'Or.
They will always win, so how can the Silver Bear compare to the Golden Bear?
As for the possibility?
Popularity will lead to death, and hotbeds of upsets will be the norm at film festivals, right?
From this point of view, it is normal for them to win awards.
"The winner of the Best Director Award is..."
"André Marat's "Paradise"! Congratulations!"
The presentation of this award did not cause much of a stir and was considered quite satisfactory.
However, this year's Berlin International Film Festival seems to have a habit of laying double yolks. The award presenter actually spoke again: "And..."
"Li Yi's "Beautiful Life"! Congratulations!"
"Boom!"
At this time, the entire awards ceremony was in a state of shock again.
Accident! Accident! Still a surprise!
What a surprise!
Surprisingly, I actually won another award.
"Life Is Beautiful" is already its fourth award, is it so outrageous?
Not to mention the guests at the scene, even Li Yi himself didn't expect it at all.
He was even a little distracted just now. If Angel Kelly hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that he had won another award.
Silver Bear for Best Director.
"What's going on?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
"Winning an award again?"
"Is it the fourth one?"
"This is an Oscar. What on earth is going on at the Berlin Film Festival?"
"Give wholesale awards to "Life Is Beautiful"?"
"Maybe to comfort the dog director?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm confused anyway!"
"Look at Director Dog's expression, haha, he obviously didn't expect it either!"
Yes, Li Yi feels a little Spartan in his heart. What the hell is this?
Are the real prizes wholesale?
Although, according to the high evaluation of "Life is Beautiful", it seems normal for this movie to win any award.
But four!
Four awards is really outrageous.
Putting aside the two awards for Best Debut and Best Documentary, there are only eight remaining awards, but four were awarded directly to "Life is Beautiful"!
This is already the best in the history of the Berlin International Film Festival.
Since the establishment of the Berlin International Film Festival, the most it has ever won is three awards, but "Life is Beautiful" has one more. Although the best actor is a double yolk, more is more!
Li Yi was also confused.
Is this really possible?
After Andre Mara, the director of "Paradise," gave his acceptance speech, it was Li Yi's turn.
The scene suddenly burst into warm applause.
This obvious differential treatment made Andre Mara feel depressed.
Everyone gets the same award, so the difference in treatment is too obvious, right?
I'm so angry!
But thinking about the praise received by "Life is Beautiful", Andre Mara can't help but accept it.
Don’t think that it is so easy to become the most popular film at the film festival and the film with the highest media ratings.
Film magazines with huge global influence, such as Empire Magazine, Variety, and Screen Daily, do not mean that public relations cannot be achieved, but most of the time, if public relations are really needed, the price to pay is absolutely huge.
Therefore, the authority is still there.
"Life is Beautiful" can receive unanimous praise from these media, which itself proves the excellence of the movie!
Therefore, when Li Yi stood on the podium, everyone still felt that he deserved the award. They even felt that he was a little wronged by sharing the Best Director Award with Andre Mara.
The differences between the two films are all-encompassing.
But again, the award will not be given to you just because you are popular, because everyone says you are better.
"To be honest, I'm surprised by this award! I'm a little flattered! It's like the beautiful life Guido wrote for Dora..." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" There was a sound of good-natured laughter at the scene.
is not that right? Isn’t the surprise, accident, and romance that Guido brought to Dora very similar to the award that this Berlin International Film Festival brought to Li Yi?
Not to mention Li Yi was surprised, why weren't they surprised?
