China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

The next day, at the closing ceremony, it seemed as if people from all over Berlin had flocked over. Both sides of the red carpet were filled with large and small media, and flashlights came from all directions.

This time Wu Yuchen and Jiang Qinqin also got the opportunity to walk on the red carpet. They didn't have any formal clothes. They wore new clothes they bought for several hundred yuan before setting off from the capital. They just waited under the greeting of the staff.

Jiang Qinqin was very nervous at this time, and the smile on her face was a little stiff even before she went on the red carpet.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen smiled and said:

"Qinqin, why are you nervous?"

"There are so many people!"

"Haha, so many people are not here for us. Look at these two sides, more than 90% of the audience are here for the feature film."

When Jiang Qinqin heard what Wu Yuchen said, the energy in her heart suddenly collapsed. While she was disappointed, most of her pressure was relieved.

"When I was in the exhibition hall two days ago, I really thought we were popular..."

"A short film is a short film after all."

"You really can see~"

"Haha, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

The two were chatting casually when they were urged onto the red carpet by the staff.

When I walked through the red carpet, there were indeed no such loud cheers, but it was not as unknown as Wu Yuchen said. After all, it has been passed down from person to person, and many people have watched this sharp style of "Car 40". Four".

"Bus 44, come on!"

"No. 44, you are the best!"

"44, Best Short Film!"

Encouragement and cheering blessings came from both sides of the red carpet, which made Wu Yuchen look a little surprised, and then he and Jiang Qinqin waved to them to express their gratitude.

The Berlin Film Festival has always been more pragmatic. Unlike Hollywood or Cannes, which have all the extravagant events, the red carpet did not last long. After the crews took their seats, the lights dimmed, the host came on stage to make a few speeches, and then the jury appeared and the awards began directly. .

There are two Chinese faces on the jury this time, Xu Anhua and Chen Chong.

Seeing these two people, it is not surprising that Wu Yuchen thought about the great success of Chinese films at the Berlin Film Festival.

Don't think that the jury is very objective and impartial. In fact, everyone is very subjective. And one thing is that Chinese people are very united at international film festivals.

In 1993, Li An, who was just starting out, won the Berlin Golden Bear in one fell swoop with "The Wedding Banquet" because the chairman of the jury for that session was Lao Mouzi. In 2007, it was Lao Mouzi who awarded the Venice Golden Lion to Li An's "Lust, Caution". Li An personally said that Lao Mouzi was his noble man.

This kind of thing where compatriots help compatriots is really common in the international film industry.

The first awards were small prizes or unpopular units.

To be honest, Wu Yuchen has always been a little obsessed with the three major awards, because he doesn’t know what many awards are.

For example, the Caligari Prize, the Don Quixote Prize, and the "Berlin Morning Post" Readers' Jury Prize were awarded just now. I don't know what awards they are for, and these awards may be gone this year but not next year. It popped up again two years later. Who knows how they came up with it.

Soon, it was time for the awards in the short film category. Wu Yuchen stared at the awards podium and the big screen, sitting upright.

The first is the Teddy Bear Award. This award can be said to have no suspense. It was taken away by the movie "Alkali, Iowa" with the same surname.

The remaining short film directors couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and only the short films Silver Bear and Golden Bear were left.

Wu Yuchen also glanced at them. There were two of his biggest competitors this time.

One is the animated short film "The Forgotten Toy" from the UK, and the other is the short film "Kinobilletten" from Norway.

"Now, I would like to ask Mr. Thomas to continue awarding us the Short Film Jury Silver Bear Award."

After the award-giving guest came to the stage, he didn't say anything and just read the award speech:

"This is a cartoon about love and friendship, a heartwarming story between rag doll Annie and teddy bear Teddy..."

At the same time, an animated scene also appeared on the screen, it was "The Forgotten Toy".

The director exhaled and then went on stage to accept the award with a smile on his face.

Now Wu Yuchen couldn't help but feel nervous. Although the probability of winning the Golden Bear Award was greatly increased with one less opponent, he was afraid that he would not get anything! Film festivals every year often feature films that are hits and must-haves.

"I invite Mr. Wagner to come on stage and present the Golden Bear Award for the best short film!"

Wagner was a little old man. He stood in front of the award podium, opened the envelope in his hand, took a look, and said with a smile:

"Wow, this is a great short film, I personally love it!"

Then he paused, glanced down the stage, and announced loudly:

""Bus 44"!"

Although it is a short film, it is a Golden Bear after all, and the treatment is different.

The scene of "Che 44" was played on the big screen, and there was also narration:

"An ordinary bus, a test of humanity, a shocking ending, and an intriguing smile..."

At this time, Jiang Qinqin in the audience screamed and hugged her boyfriend tightly.

Wu Yuchen no longer concealed his feelings, clenched a fist with one hand and waved it, with a wanton smile on his face.

At this time, the whole audience burst into kind applause, and even loud cheers came from the Chinese crew: "Well done!"

Wu Yuchen let go of Jiang Qinqin, hugged or shook hands with several short film directors sitting next to him, then puffed up his chest and walked to the award podium with dignity.

The little old man Wagner first hugged Wu Yuchen, and then handed a red box containing a medal to Wu Yuchen's hand.

Only the main competition unit is a real gold and silver bear trophy, the other units are medals. The medal given to Wu Yuchen has a golden bear pattern printed on it.

Wu Yuchen doesn't care if it's a trophy or a medal, what matters is this honor!

"Wow! I still can't believe it. After all, this is my first work, and I can win the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film. Thank you to the organizing committee for recognizing me!"

Wu Yuchen said, raising the medal in his hand, and everyone below smiled kindly.

"This "Che 44" is not my work alone. Maybe those who have seen our short film know that there is a long list of credits at the end.

There were 27 of us, and we scraped together less than $4,000 to make this movie. So I want to thank them here. Without them, there would be no "Che 44"! "

This really aroused the surprise of everyone below. I didn't expect that there was such a story behind this short film. With such a low cost and the fact that 27 people put it together, one can imagine the difficulty of filming the film.

At this time, someone took the lead again and started to applaud, and the applause became louder and louder, and no one was left behind. This is an encouragement to the crew of "Che 44" and an admiration for their passion for movies!
