Chapter 147 Award Ceremony

With the screening of "Buried" in Berlin, the film was also known in China.

"Is it really filmed in a coffin? The film takes so long, the actors must go crazy when filming!"

"Director Lin Nan is a bit cruel for this film. Did the actors have any problems after filming?"

Liu Yifei looked at the latest news with joy in her eyes.

"I believe he will bring back another trophy."

"You are really imaginative."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head. It was not that easy.

"No, I have to send him a text message."

After that, he finished lunch in a few bites, smiled at Liu Xiaoli, and ran away.

"This girl."

...

Lin Nan got the suit that had just been delivered. It was purely handmade and could only be described as expensive.

Whether there was an award or not, the nominated films had to attend the dinner.

Tom looked at Lin Nan in a well-tailored suit and was a little envious.

"I really hate you people. You look handsome in anything you wear."

"You just need to lose some weight on your body." Lin Nan smiled.

"Then forget it. I raised him bit by bit, and I can't bear to let him go."

Lin Nan almost choked to death. This reason was really weird.

"Is Ryan ready?"

"Yes, he has been ready for a long time. He is qualified to compete for the Silver Bear Award."

"That's good. I promised to bring him to Berlin, so he worked so hard to play this role."

Lin Nan even felt that Ryan Reynolds' performance this time was better than he remembered.

Lin Nan heard some news from Han Sanping.

"Apple" did not wait for the awards ceremony. It had already signed sales contracts with many film companies and sold a lot of places.

After the opening ceremony, on the fifth day, Lin Nan began to pay attention to phone calls or invitations.

According to convention, movies with awards will be invited again individually and must attend the awards ceremony dinner. This is already an open unspoken rule.

Lin Nan looked through the jury information and found that two jury members were from China, Shi Nansheng from Hong Kong Island and Ning Ying from the mainland.

To a certain extent, this is an advantage for several domestic films.

Waiting for news is a very tiring thing. Lin Nan even had several auditory hallucinations, but there were no missed calls on his phone.

Han Sanping led the team and was recently selecting films. China is a big market and is also watched by many foreign filmmakers.

Unlike before, Han Sanping was really stingy this time, trying to buy out the broadcast rights with the least money.

Lin Nan also turned around, mainly because he couldn't calm down.

The news that he was shortlisted for Berlin for the second time was all over the country. If he returned empty-handed, it would be really embarrassing.

Liu Yifei also sent a message saying that she wanted a trophy as a gift.

"Buzz..."

The sound of the phone vibrating sounded, and Lin Nan's nerves were instantly tense.

"Is it good news?" Han Sanping cast an inquiring look.

It was Tom's call. Lin Nan was a little discouraged and shook his head.

"Tom, what's the matter?"

"Hahaha, Lin, they came to notify you personally and invited you to the award ceremony. You must come. Ryan is already crazy..."

"Okay, I know."

His heart beat very fast, and Lin Nan felt very solid in an instant.

"Boss Han."

"Hmm?"

"China Film's 10 million is a big win." Lin Nan said with a smile.

Han Sanping reacted instantly, "Are there any prizes?"

"The organizer went to the hotel to notify us, they didn't call."

"Okay, okay, then I wish you the Golden Bear. I'll tell the media that we agreed on the price of Buried Alive after you won the prize."

"Give me a good reputation?" Lin Nan asked.

"I guess so."

"That's good."

...

When I got back to the hotel, I saw Ryan Reynolds and Tom, drinking from bottles of red wine and champagne.

"Lin, come on, let's have a drink." Tom invited unreasonably.

"Director, have a drink, I'm really happy today." Ryan Reynolds also said.

"We don't know what award it is yet. Isn't it too much to celebrate in advance like this?"

"Anyway, it's fine as long as there's an award. Ryan's resume will have one more sentence in the future, that he was nominated for the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor in Berlin, right? Maybe he won it instead of being nominated, haha."

Tom and Ryan Reynolds clinked their bottles and laughed.

...

"Didn't you receive it?" Tong Dawei asked.

"Not yet. There are still two days. Wait a little longer."

Li Yu comforted the others and herself.

She was nominated for the Golden Lion, won the Best Asian Film Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and was nominated for the Golden Bear Award this year. She is also one of the top young directors, but she has always missed the most core awards...

"I heard that Director Wang received an invitation to the awards ceremony, and someone came to notify him."

Fan Bingbing suddenly interrupted.

"What about Director Lin?" Liang Jiahui asked.

"I think he received it too. Someone from China Film said so."

Liang Jiahui nodded. He had seen the movie "Buried Alive" and knew that it was capable.

Fan Bingbing's words made Li Yu lose the last bit of hope in his heart.

"No chance?" Li Yu said softly, his body a little weak.

"Wait a little longer, it's not the last minute yet. Even if there is no chance, we still have to go to the award ceremony. This is the dignity that a nominated film should have."

Liang Jiahui, who had rich experience and was also the eldest, spoke unhurriedly.

Two days passed very quickly, and the atmosphere of the Berlin Film Festival reached its climax. Today is the time to witness the results, and the red carpet that the whole world is watching.

Lin Nan put on a suit early. He was over 1.8 meters tall and looked very energetic.

Tom is so fat that he doesn't look good in anything he wears.

Ryan Reynolds is taller than Lin Nan, and his face is full of smiles at the moment.

"Director, with your figure and appearance, it would be a pity not to be an actor."

Lin Nan smiled and said nothing.

"Ryan, you guessed it right. He originally majored in acting in college, but he switched to directing in the middle. He has acted in two movies."

Tom preached to Ryan Reynolds.

"Okay, get ready to go."

…

The Berlin Film Festival is the top international A-category film festival.

In terms of scale, it is also one of the largest film festivals.

In the waiting area before entering the venue, Lin Nan was busier than last year. There were many people saying hello and greetings. He was one of the most promising directors tonight. "Buried Alive" was being screened in Berlin these days, so eye-catching. .

"Lin, I hope you can go to Venice, which is a paradise for art films."

An Italian filmmaker, kindly invited.

"I'll do it, thank you."

There are many Chinese filmmakers, and Fan Bingbing wore something particularly eye-catching today. She wore a tube top white dress with Chinese ink patterns on it.

I have to say that Fan Bingbing really has some ideas when it comes to what he wears on the red carpet.

Zhang Yang's "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" was shortlisted for the panorama section. The lead actor, Uncle Zhao, didn't come, so he seemed a little lonely.

Wang Quan'an is wearing a black tunic suit, which matches Yu Nan's white one very well.

The red carpet began, and guests and participating crews walked onto the Avenue of Stars.

The twenty-six crews in the main competition unit attracted the most attention.

Actresses are the main attraction on the red carpet. Fortunately, there have been no scenes of being chased away from the red carpet.

Lin Nan walked on the red carpet with Tom and Ryan Reynolds and was stopped by the host for an interview.

"Lin, how did you come up with the idea for a movie like Buried?"

“Chairman Paul Schrader invited me twice. At that time, it was only three months before the opening ceremony and more than two months before the registration deadline.

Time was running out and I could only think of the script "Buried". Do you know how long it took us from the beginning to the end? Only seventeen days. "

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, there was an exclamation of surprise.

"It's unimaginable that this is a movie that was shot in two weeks..."

The host said very surprised.

…

The awards ceremony officially began, and the huge auditorium was packed with seats.

Teddy Award, Crystal Bear Award, International Film Critics Award...

These other unit awards were announced first, and "Tuya Marriage" and "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" actually won the Humanitarian Spirit Award.

The most exciting part is always the final main competition unit module.

Lin Nan's front row is the crew of "Spy".

"Director Lin, we met at the reception of "The Departed". I am Matt Damon."

"Hello, I'm Lin Nan."

I feel a little excited because "Mars" is still in post-production over there.

…

The Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution was won by the crew of "The Secret Service".

There is one less competitor for the subsequent awards.

Best Film Debut Award…

Silver Bear Award for Best Film Score…

"Silver Bear for Best Actress, Nina Hoss, "Yela."

As an actress came on stage, Lin Nan clearly felt that Ryan Reynolds became nervous.

"Ryan, relax."

No one could not be nervous at this time, unless they knew that they had no hope at all, but Lin Nan still comforted him.

"Director, I know..."

Tom also clenched his fists, feeling more eager than Ryan Reynolds.

A new member of the jury was replaced, "Winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor..."

Ryan Reynolds tensed up instantly.

"Julio Chavez, "Others."

As if a filled balloon burst a hole, Ryan Reynolds suddenly became decadent.

"Ryan, there will be another chance in the future." This time it was Tom who comforted him.

"Well, I understand. Being nominated is already the biggest encouragement to me. I am the leading actor."

Ryan Reynolds chuckled, but it was more helpless.

Lin Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, just because there was a Chinese face on the stage, Shi Nansheng.

“The Silver Bear winners for Best Director are:

Lin Nan, "Buried", congratulations. "

Shi Nansheng pronounced the word Lin Nan in Chinese.

"Oh, Lin, congratulations."

"Director, congratulations."

Lin Nan stood up with a smile on his face and hugged Ryan Reynolds.

There were many people looking at him, including Han Sanping, Yu Nan, Fan Bingbing, Liang Jiahui in the distance...

These people all smiled and applauded, but Wang Quan'an's smile made Lin Nan a little sour, but he still didn't fight. The theme of "Tuya Wedding" was too dominant.

"Congratulations, Director Lin Nan, this is your second time winning the Silver Bear Award for Best Director."

Shi Nansheng said in Chinese.

"Thank you, actually I want the golden bear more, haha."

Standing in front of the microphone, Lin Nan paused for three seconds before speaking.

“Thank you Berlin for giving me this Silver Bear again, my second Best Director trophy. Actually, I really want to change its color, such as gold…”

The audience burst into laughter.

“But think about it, it only took me 17 days to shoot this movie, and I got this Silver Bear. This should be the biggest success, so I am satisfied.

I am still young, I will go for the Golden Bear, Golden Lion, and Golden Palm one by one, thank you.”

The applause was thunderous. Lin Nan’s final speech was full of the confidence and vigor that a young director should have, which infected many filmmakers. The film was completed in 17 days, which also shocked everyone.
