The last day of the festival is the closing ceremony and awards ceremony.

The "Teddy Bear" award ceremony was held two days earlier, also at 8 pm. This is the highest honor for lgbt films and is specially designed for lgbt works of various units of the Berlin Film Festival. This year, a total of 24 films participated in the "teddy bear" competition. In fact, the three major film festivals have all set up lgbt awards. Venice's is called "13° eer lion", Cannes is called "eer al", but the history is not as long as teddy bears.

For a few films that were shortlisted for the main competition, this award is not important, but for "The Cabinet" and other films that were only shortlisted for the non-competition, it must be fought for.

Wang Jinfa's distribution strategy has always been very clear - to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival and sell the film to more regions. The "trade market" of the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals is the largest, while Venice is more general. First, because of the inconvenience of transportation - it is not held on the island, but on a holiday island, 20 minutes away from Venice. Second, because Venice pays more attention to "Art", the film market is not large, at the same time, Cannes pays more attention to "commercial", which is not in line with the positioning of "Cabinet". In this way, both Venice and Cannes are excluded. Wang Jinfa, he sees Come and see, it's finally set to premiere in Berlin. He didn't try hard to compete in the competition section, which was too difficult, so he felt that the non-competition section was also good, such as the panoramic section, and then competed for small prizes such as the "Teddy Bear Award", got some usable promotional materials, and then Participating in BCD film festivals that do not require premieres is very popular.

…………

24 crews were invited to the "Teddy Bear" award ceremony. There are two Chinese-language crews, one is from "Cabinet" and the other is from "Fireworks". The main creators and starring roles of the two films are naturally arranged together.

Before the start, Wang Jinfa talked casually with the director of "Fireworks" about the difficulty of filming.

"Hey," Wang Jinjin said, "it's not easy to do anything without the "Film Production License". Pull the team, do the post-production... Many places require you to see the original "Film Production License"." Speaking of this, he And meaningfully, "You know."

"No, I don't understand." The director of "Fireworks" said, "I am different from you, I have a "film production license"."

Wang Jinfa: "??????"

"Well, I have." The other party said again, "The synopsis of my movie reads 'the hero's lover xx', and the people in the film bureau didn't think that the lover xx was a man, not a woman. They took it for granted that his lover was a female."

Wang Jinfa: "??????"

Before he could recover from the shock, the lights dimmed, and the "Teddy Bear" award ceremony began.

The hostess came to the stage, and the audience burst into applause. She held a microphone in her hand: "dies and gentlen, wele to the..." After speaking in English, she switched to German. "

Going through the process one by one, all the guests can speak. don't know how long it took for the awards ceremony to finally arrive at the time to announce the awards.

Feeling that Wang Jinfa was a little nervous and had some expectations, Jiang Yuan was also a little nervous and had some expectations.

First up is the "Best Short Film" section. The third place is an American film, the second place is a German film, and the first place is a Brazilian film.

Then came the "Best Documentary" section, and the third place was...the second place was...the first place was a Japanese film.

Then there is the "Best Feature Film" section.

The award presenter muttered: "The third place is..."Sister" from Japan!"

A Japanese female director walked up valiantly, took the award and the microphone, and said with a smile, "Although "Sister" was shortlisted in the main competition unit, I am still happy to have won the third place in the teddy bear..."

After the Japanese director finished his speech, another guest of honor continued to announce according to the process: "The second place is..."Feast" from the United Kingdom!"

When the words fell, Wang Jinfa suddenly approached Jiang Yuan next to him and said, "It's over!!!"

Jiang Yuan was a little dazed: "Ah?"

"Damn," Wang Jin Jin said, "the wind has changed this year!"

Jiang Yuan was a little dazed: "What?"

"Didn't you find out," Wang Jinjin continued to explain, "the third and second places, as well as the first place for 'Best Short Film' and the first place for 'Best Documentary', are all lesbian films! "

"...Ah." Jiang Yuan recalled carefully and found that it was really the case.

"In the past, there were many gay men." Wang Jinfa sighed, "This year, the wind has really changed."

Bad luck.

Jiang Yuan comforted softly: "It doesn't matter. We know that our films are very good-looking, and you can treat those judges as blind and ignorant..."

Before "Tarzan" was spoken, the award presenter on the stage said: "the best fil, for, goes to...closet, fro cha."

So Jiang Yuan braked vigorously, swallowed back the word "Taishan", and said, "Director Wang, the first place is our "Cabinet"."

As for Wang Jinfa, for the countless times this evening: "??????"

The jury of the Teddy Bear Awards said in the award speech: "The Cabinet is a well-made film, which tells the delicate story of three generations and three pairs of homosexuality in China... This film gives the audience a deep understanding of another culture, It also has many universal meanings and universal values. The film does not criticize anything from the commanding heights of morality. On the contrary, it shows the feelings of children in Chinese culture for their parents, as well as the changes in children's concepts and parents' concepts - it is More and more enlightened and better. The acting skills of several actors in the film are real and natural, and the director's narrative method is orderly and not messy... Among them, the stories of Xin Yuan, Yao Zhen and Zhu Yingying are the most embarrassing. It shows the particular form of 'gay, lesbian family', and the film's concern for the situation of women is shocking..."

Wang Jinfa also understood a little. It turned out that the jury's favorite part was "Shape Marriage" and "Women". "Cabinet" is indeed not the same as those pure lesbian films.

When it was his turn to give a thank you speech, Wang Jinjin held the trophy in one hand - a teddy bear and Mike in the other. As a graduate of New York University, he has the best English tonight except for British and American directors: "Thank you to the jury. I like it. This is a great honor, and here I want to dedicate it to China, which is going through hardships step by step, but is becoming more and more tolerant. There are three pairs of protagonists in "Cabinet", a pair in their 60s and a pair in their 30s Many years old, a couple in their twenties. At first, all of them were married straight, and later, some of them began to marry, and later, some of them chose to come out. It's not easy...even difficult. I I want to tell the first two types of people, you should be more courageous. In addition, I also thank my actors, Shen Du, Jiang Yuan, and..., and..., without them, this film could not have such a shock force."

Jiang Yuan applauded.

He just checked last night. A total of three Chinese-language films have won the Teddy Bear Award in the past, but they are either from Hong Kong or Taiwan. Therefore, "Cabinet" produced by a mainland company and directed by a mainland director is the first in mainland China to win a teddy bear. of.

They have already made it known that there are filmmakers in mainland China who care about and show the LGBT group.

Finally, the Organizing Committee awarded the Jury Award and Reader Award one by one. After the awards ceremony is over, all the award-winning directors will stand on the stage tonight to take a group photo. Therefore, Jiang Yuan only saw Wang Jinfa, who won the first place in "Teddy Bear", standing in the C position, surrounded by female directors, in a big circle.

…………

Jiang Yuan did not expect that in addition to the teddy bear, the film "Cabinet" won the "Panorama Audience Award" in Berlin. The Panorama unit is the largest unit except the main competition unit, and the "Panorama Audience Award" is the largest award of the Panorama unit.

The third place in the Panorama Audience Award went to an American film, the second place went to an Indian film, and the first place went to their "Cabinet".

The award ceremony for the panorama unit was held on the day of the closing ceremony at 5:00 pm, and the time for the closing ceremony and main competition unit award ceremony was 8:00 pm.

The chairman of the panorama unit will also present the award to the editor-in-chief of the film magazine, and after the awards ceremony, "The Cabinet" was re-screened.

Because no Chinese-language films were shortlisted for the main competition this year, the news that Wang Jinfa won the Panorama Audience Award was quickly reported. Although this is a non-dragon standard film, it is also a mainland film. In addition, Liu Zhaojun called the big marketing account to help fuel the flames. For a time, the entire network knew that Shen Dujiangyuan's film was of high quality.

Then, only about two hours after the "Panorama Audience Award" was awarded, while Jiang Yuan and Shen Du were watching the closing ceremony together in the hotel, Jiang Yuan received a trans-ocean call from his agent.

"Hello, Sister Zhao?" Sister Zhao's name is Zhao Di, but because she is thin, everyone in the "Hefeng" company calls her Zhao Tiao.

"Well, Yuan Yuan."

Jiang Yuan counted Beijing time: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon right now?"

"Yes." Sister Zhao said with a smile, "good news. I sent Jiang Sixuan the results of "The Cabinet", including the copyright prices in dozens of countries and regions around the world, and the generous Teddy Bear Award. The award speeches on the official website, "The acting skills of several actors in the movie are real and natural", and the words posted on the official website half an hour before the Panorama Audience Award, as well as the German media's high evaluation of the movie and the leading actors. ... He let go and told you to audition when you go back to Beijing. And ... it should be very interesting."

Jiang Yuan: "!!!"

This movie was recommended to him by Wang Jinjin after he finished shooting, because he thought it was very catch-the actor's eyes must be beautiful, and his acting skills must be very good. Because the male protagonist can only move his eyes after a cerebral hemorrhage, this role requires the actor to express everything with only his eyes. Wang Jinjin said that Director Jiang is an international director, and his guidance is precious. If Jiang Yuan can use this role to learn and hone his acting skills, he will get a boost. After all, "eyes" are the most difficult to express.

Jiang Yuan has been preparing for a long time, but Jiang Sixuan always felt that Jiang Yuan was just a newcomer, no, didn't expect that tonight, he would let go.

"..." This life after rebirth is like a dream.

Jiang Yuan recalled carefully.

He was kissed, he was reborn. Because he was shocked and moved by Shen Du's notebook full of "positive" and other things, he became more hardworking, and then his acting skills improved little by little, and finally performed a living "Xin Yuan". Approved by the blond, recognized by the jury, and recognized by the reporters, at the same time, Shen Du helped him sign a new company and help him sell the copyright, so now, he was originally just a small director's "debut" in a small-cost film. , it is possible to star in Jiang Sixuan's big production!

Shen Du...

Because of Shen Du, he is getting better and better.

Jiang Yuan even had a feeling that he was reborn because of the other party, and he was better because of the other party. In his life, he was destined to be with the other party.He will be happier.Shen Du is the compensation sent by God.

Seeing him in a daze, Shen Du asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Shen Du," Jiang Yuan replied, "I'm thinking, because of you, I'm getting better and better."

Shen Du smiled softly.

Jiang Yuan thought: Germany, a place like fate.

He licked his lips and asked, "Shen Du, do you have any work next week?"

Shen Du shook his head gently: "I can push. It's not too important for the time being."

"Then," Jiang Yuan asked again, "can we go to Neuschwanstein Castle?"

"Neuschwanstein?"

"Yes," Jiang Yuan said, "the prototype of the castle in "Sleeping Beauty" in Grimm's fairy tale." Jiang Yuan's voice was soft and fluttering, "That's the one, a princess sleeps for a hundred years, and then her destined prince uses aThe kiss woke her up. The two fell in love, fell in love, and lived happily ever after."
