Time flies to the last day of the 58th Berlin Film Festival.

It is also the most important day of this film festival.

At the scene, filmmakers, producers, directors, and actors from all over the world communicated with each other and attended in costumes.

Media reporters from all over the world carried long guns and short guns and conducted interviews.

Of course, this kind of treatment only belongs to famous directors and film creative teams that have achieved high box office worldwide.

Low-budget movies and literary films are obviously unable to compare with blockbusters and blockbuster commercial films in the market.

Even though"The Blind Shaft" premiered very successfully and received excellent reviews, the media was still not optimistic about the box office.

This is also normal. The choice and depth of the film's subject matter will directly affect the attendance rate.

It's a common problem with this type of film that it's not well-received.

In fact, in the entire China Entertainment Film Industry, there are only a few films that have been well received and sold well at the box office in the past few decades.

I can count them on one hand.

Moreover, today's visitors are all well-known directors and actors from all over the world, so it is naturally difficult for the media's attention to fall on Chen Ci's grassroots team.

To put it bluntly, the media also need to eat, so they can enjoy the shade with a big tree at their back.

Of course Chen Zi understands it, and even enjoys the relaxation.

On the other hand, the crew of"Hero" next door has been interviewed constantly, and it has Zhang Yimou and Li Lianlian, so it is expected that it has become the darling of the media.

When Chen Xi passed by, the International Chapter was answering questions from the media.

Across the many reporters, Chen Ci nodded to her.

Then he took the people to the outside of the award ceremony and waited for the red carpet to start.

Zhang Ziyi looked at the man's figure, a little dazed.

It wasn't until the reporter called several times that she finally came back to her senses.

Berlin time, February 16, 2003, 4:00 pm sharp.

The red carpet ceremony of the 58th Berlin World Film Festival officially began.

These days, there is no such thing as being popular, Internet celebrities are still in their mother's womb, and the red carpet is not a stage for pheasants to show off.

To put it harshly.

The red carpets at various film festivals are still clean.

The red carpet ceremony lasted two hours.

When all the film production teams from around the world entered the infield, the official staff of the film festival closed the door of the venue.

Inside the venue, the Berlin-style lighting of machines designed by professional stage and lighting designers began to light up.

Zhang Yimou and the creative team of"Hero" sat in the second row.

This shows the influence of Lao Mouzi and Li Lianlian in the world film industry.

Speaking of which, in the next twenty years, there will never be another starring cast as terrifying as"Heroes".

This can be regarded as Lao Mouzi's peak moment.

At least judging from the cast and crew, it is the undisputed pinnacle.

Compared to the"Hero" crew, Chen Ci's position is much worse.

In the northwest corner of the venue.

With the official host of the film festival taking the stage, it also heralds the official start of the awards night of this Berlin Film Festival.

Whether it is a mule or a horse will be determined in the next three hours.

For filmmakers.

This is undoubtedly the most nervous and anticipated moment.

To win awards on the world stage.

That’s the ideal of every filmmaker and actor.

This kind of experience will become the most colorful experience in life.

Above the stage, large screens facing different directions slowly fell and stopped in mid-air.

Naturally, they were all insignificant and small awards at the beginning.

The host will read out the nominated films, and the video clips will be played on the big screen.

To put it bluntly, it is to let everyone know why the film won the award.

The hour passed quickly.

And during this hour

《Neither"Heroes" nor"The Blind Shaft" appeared on the big screen in mid-air.

Not even nominated

《After all, the crew of"Heroes" have seen the big world, and they have cut enough box office, and they don't have this ambition.

Even small prizes are looked down upon.

But it was different with the crew of"The Blind Shaft".

Except for Li Yixiang, who is a professional actor, everyone else is a makeshift team.

For them, missing out on minor awards is basically equivalent to a wasted trip to this film festival. after all......They can't even think about the subsequent awards.

Even Yu Zhengming was a little frustrated.

And in this atmosphere, the crew of"Hero" appeared on the big screen.

This was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back. really......Still not working?

With"Heroes" successfully winning the first award of this film festival, the"Alfred Ball Award"",《Everyone in the crew of"Blind Shaft" was like eggplants beaten by frost. what is this called...

The trouble-seeking nature of higher animals.

Even though he knew that he was not on the same level as others, he still had a sense of luck.

For the next hour and a half,"The Blind Shaft" still failed to make it to the big screen.

Li Yixiang clenched his fists, feeling a little unconvinced.

Oh shit.

Are you not even given a chance to be nominated?

Seeing that the award ceremony has entered the final stage, it is also the stage of awarding various red list awards.

Red List Award - the most important and valuable award at the Berlin Film Festival! to this stage.

The crew of"The Blind Shaft" who were still able to maintain their sanity now find it difficult to stay sober.

After all, nothing was harvested. Even though they had no expectations, the rave reviews from the premiere gave them unlimited hope.

But now, it seems to be forgotten in the corner.

They can't stand such a huge gap.

Sitting in the second row of the"Heroes" crew, Zhang Yimou seemed to notice something, turned his head, and stared at Chen Ci from a long distance away.

What surprised him was that the speech was still as relaxed as before.

Even smiled at him

"Director Zhang......He has such a good attitude......"

The speaker was Ji Ji Zhang, who was also following Zhang Yimou and looking towards Chen Ci and the others.

Zhang Yimou sighed with emotion:"This guy is really interesting."

After saying this, he nodded at his statement and then looked away.

Ji Ji Zhang raised his hand, obviously greeting Chen Ci.

The latter smiled and continued to look at the big screen.

Time passes minute by minute.

For the crew of"The Blind Shaft", the remaining thirty minutes were like torture!

Ten minutes passed... fifteen minutes... twenty minutes...

"The 58th Berlin Film Festival, the last work nominated for the Silver Bear Award for Artistic Contribution......"

The blonde female host's fluent English suddenly stopped, and the award ceremony was deliberately suspense at this moment.

Her pause was a little long this time.

Everyone in the audience held their breath.

After a while.

She smiled and revealed the answer:"From"The Blind Shaft" directed by Tianchao Chenci.》"

Wow!

Below the stage!

Everyone's pupils exploded instantly! subsequently......

The boiling uproar echoed through the entire award ceremony venue as if it was about to knock off the roof!
