Chapter 335 Cheers
Also before going to the 60th Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony.

Roman Polanski was in a hotel room in a suit and tie. He widened his eyes and angrily shouted at several people across from him: "Why should I leave? Just because he said a few words on it? Now we are about to leave, and you want me to leave?"

Several assistants looked at each other, and one of them nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, Roman. Just because Chen Nuo mentioned you on Facebook, plus the interview with Der Spiegel, public opinion is now too unfavorable to us. That's not just any platform, it's the world's number one social platform, and Chen Nuo has more than 2000 million fans on it! Now I got the news that if you go to the award ceremony today, you will most likely be arrested and then extradited to the United States by the Germans. This is really dangerous."

Roman Polanski gnashed his teeth, his face uncertain: "I won't leave! I will never give in to that Chinese boy. Let the police come, let them arrest me for what happened 30 years ago!"

The assistants looked at each other again and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing this, Roman Polanski suddenly panicked and asked hurriedly, "Wait...what do you think is the possibility that the German police really did this?"

"I don't know, but we assure you, Roman, it is safest for us to return to France now."

"If... I won the prize, would the Germans still do this?"

“Perhaps only the Golden Bear Award can save you. But, Roman, are you sure you want to take the gamble?”

"...Damn it! According to what you said, I can only stay in places like France and Denmark in the future?"

"I don't know. Maybe from now on, we really have to be careful in everything we do."

"I'm going to make that Chinese kid pay the price one day!"

……

……

Generally speaking, film festivals like Cannes and Berlin are rarely reported in China.

Unless a Chinese actor wins an award, it may make one or two headlines on some portal websites.

CCTV, in particular, has always turned a blind eye to these European film festivals.

It will not report award news in real time in the entertainment section like portal websites such as Sina and Tencent, nor will it set up any text live broadcast room.

There are two reasons.

One is that most of the filmmakers who participate in these film festivals have rebellious tendencies in their heads.

Secondly, compared to Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and others at the entrance of the Kodak Theater, who the hell knows who those famous filmmakers from the Philippines and Romania are on the red carpet of your Film Palace?
Don’t say that domestic audiences don’t understand the business, audiences all over the world are the same.

Otherwise, why would Gilles Jacob in Cannes go to such lengths to find some Hollywood superstars to walk the red carpet every year?
Otherwise, why would Dieter Kosslick in Berlin organize activities such as "Movies in the Community", and why was "Under the Hawthorn Tree" shortlisted?

"So, Mr. Bi, what you mean is that the reason why "Under the Hawthorn Tree" was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival is because Kosslick wanted to increase the ratings of the Berlin Film Festival?" Zhu Jun said with a smile while sitting in the text live broadcast room of the 60th Berlin Film Festival on CCTV.com.

Compared to the Oscar live broadcast two years ago, the network conditions this time are obviously much better. Not only is there no lag, the output resolution of the live broadcast room is also very high.

This caused more than 9 viewers who turned on their computers at 30: in the morning and logged into the live broadcast room on time to sigh in the chat box, saying that Teacher Bi Chenggong turned out to be so ugly, Director Chen Kexin had so many pits on her face, and Teacher Zhu Jun had too many bags under her eyes, and it seemed that she had too much nightlife.

As for Director Zhang Yibai who had spoken to Chen Nuo two years ago, where did he go?

He was arrested for taking drugs at the end of last year, and he is probably still in the detention center...

As a result, the relevant person in charge of CCTV.com was cheated to the point of almost vomiting blood, and vowed never to invite these mainland literary and artistic directors again.

That's why we spent a lot of money to invite Chen Kexin to sit here.

Bi Chenggong nodded and said, "That's right. I can tell you a little bit of gossip. Under the Hawthorn Tree was almost eliminated during the film selection stage. In the end, it was said that it was Koslik who made it into the main competition unit."

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Teacher Bi, this kind of gossip is not very credible, right?"

Bi Chenggong smiled and said, "It's not high, but it's also possible. Although I haven't seen it yet, my friends have seen it in Germany. Because of Chen Nuo's song, this movie is very popular in China. But judging from the current situation, Director Zhang's love movie this time has encountered serious acclimatization. It will be very difficult to win an award this time."

Zhu Jun turned around and asked, "Director Chen, what do you think of what Teacher Bi said?"

Chen Kexin said with a smile: "I also have a friend who watched this movie in Germany and sent me a message saying that it was very good and touching. When it is shown in theaters in Hong Kong or mainland China, I will definitely go to support it."

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "It seems that your two friends have a disagreement on this play. Okay, we have received a message from the front that Roman Polanski has decided not to attend this awards ceremony due to illness. Uh, what do you think about this?"

Bi Chenggong said: "Scared, right? I think so. If he really dares to make a public appearance, judging from the public opinion in the past few days, it is clear that he does not take America seriously. I think this should be a wise decision for him."

"What do you think, Director Chen?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, haha."

Zhu Jun kept smiling: "Chen Nuo and his friends haven't walked the red carpet yet, I want to take this opportunity to interview director Chen Kexin. We all know that Chen Nuo's first commercial film was If Love, which happened to be a musical. You should have heard his singing at the Spring Festival Gala. Do you think he has improved in singing?"

This is the reason why we took the trouble to invite Chen Kexin to the live broadcast room.

As expected, when Chen Kexin talked about the interesting stories of Chen Nuo when he was filming If Love, the number of people online in the live broadcast room also increased steadily.

"…So I knew at that time that this kid would definitely be able to make a name for himself in the future. I didn't expect that he would win the Best Actor award a few days later. Hahahaha, I was so surprised."

After this conversation was over, Zhu Jun heard the director's voice coming from the headset, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, now the number of people online in our live broadcast room has exceeded 50. You can see that there is now a voting option below our video."

"What award do you think 'Under the Hawthorn Tree' will win at this year's Berlin Film Festival?"

"There are Golden Bear Awards, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and others. You can participate after registration, and the deadline is before the award ceremony. Friends who guess correctly will have the opportunity to win various prizes we give out. The first prize is a signed photo of Chen Nuo from the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala. Our event will be handled by the Beijing Notary Office throughout the process, so please actively participate in the voting."

Following Zhu Jun's words, the chat box in the live broadcast room, which was already filled with noise, was flooded with messages like a waterfall.

"real or fake???"

"Chen Nuo's autographed photo?"

"impossible!"

"autograph?"

"I'm going crazy. I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it. Sisters, which one are you going to vote for?"

"Chen Nuo is really no match for him this time. There is absolutely no hope. Vote for someone else!"

"If Chen Nuo can win the award, I will stand on my head and eat shit. Vote for others. Nuomi, trust me, if you want an autographed photo, vote for others!"

"I don't believe it! Nuonuo will definitely win another Best Actor award and slap you guys in the face. I'm voting for Best Actor!"

"'Hawthorn Blossom' is a nice song, I hope Chen Nuo can win the award. But I want an autographed photo. I'm voting for something else."

"I'm going to collect Chen Nuo's autographed photo. It's 2 yuan per photo. No cheating."

"Twenty thousand? There are probably less than ten autographed photos of Nuonuo circulating around. Among them, there are only two that are 100% confirmed to be signed by him personally, and they were signed during the Golden Horse Awards, and in Taiwan. The authenticity of the others is unknown. There is also a signed down jacket from the Condor Heroes period, which has been verified. It is currently in the hands of a friend of mine. Twenty thousand, haha, is only enough to buy a chicken feather from that down jacket."

Compared with two years ago, it can be seen from the chat content that the proportion of Nuomi called "Nono" in the live broadcast room audience has greatly decreased, but the number of passers-by fans has greatly increased. I don't know whether it is good or bad.

Not only has the show already exceeded 20 viewers within 50 minutes of its launch, the director backstage has also felt relieved. Taking advantage of the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala and Chen Nuo, the show has attracted a wave of traffic to CCTV.com, and it seems to have had a good start.

Before continuing the conversation, Zhu Jun took a look at the real-time voting data. Currently, "Other" and "Best Actor" ranked first and second respectively.

The others already have 83%, the second best actor has 9%, and the remaining 8% is divided between the best director and best actress.

He immediately smiled and said, "Then I will also interview Mr. Bi and Director Chen to see what they think about the various awards. Mr. Bi, what award do you think The Love Under the Hawthorn Tree can win this time?" Bi Chenggong said, "I think...it will be something else. Maybe the best screenplay or something else."

"Where's Director Chen?"

"I think the Best Actor award is a sure thing. I'm also optimistic about Director Zhang's Best Director and Liu Yifei's Best Actress. If I'm a little luckier, the Golden Bear is not out of the question."

What is a Hong Kong oiler? This is called a Hong Kong veteran.

Zhu Jun has hosted Art Life for many years, so he was not surprised and wanted to ask more questions, but a line of words floated across the screen, and he immediately shouted: "Okay, Chen Nuo and the others are starting to walk on the red carpet now!"

On the live broadcast screen, reporters sent several red carpet photos from the front.

Although the Germans did not completely clear the venue like Cannes, they obviously cleared out a local area for three filmmakers from China to be baptized by the spotlight.

All three of them smiled reservedly, and in the background many foreign fans could be seen waving posters.

Below is a report from a reporter on the front line: "Director Zhang Yimou, Chen Nuo, and Liu Yifei arrived on the red carpet at the entrance of the Film Palace. Here, they were warmly welcomed by many fans."

"The three members of The Hawthorn Tree quickly passed the fan area and walked onto the red carpet to be photographed by reporters."

At this time, the live broadcast room in Beijing was several times more lively than before.

"Why isn't there a live broadcast? A few pictures aren't enough. I voted for others, but now I feel a little empty."

"Chen Nuo looks really handsome in a suit. Liu Yifei is still pretty even without smiling. He deserves the Best Actor award."

"Chen Nuo is just a vase, and Hawthorn Tree is just a runner-up this time. The others must be correct!"

"Look at those foreigners in the pictures. Damn, they are even crazier than those in China."

"The Hawthorn Tree's screen score this time was 1.7. It was the last one. Do you still expect him to win an award?!"

"Those who slander Nuonuo don't understand the efforts behind Nuonuo, the days and nights of practice, and the hardships of repeatedly pondering the role. Nuonuo has always worked hard silently and let his strength speak for himself. Rumors can't hurt him. We fans will build the strongest fortress for him, protect his dream, and let him move forward with peace of mind."

"I'm about to vomit. Among all these fans, the most disgusting one is glutinous rice, which is even more disgusting than corn."

"I watched Nuonuo's song on the Spring Festival Gala many times, and I couldn't stop crying. I really hope more people can see Nuonuo's shining points and accompany him to the top."

"Can the housing management ban these idiots?"

The lively scene did not last long.

Because a new paragraph of text immediately popped up in the live broadcast room: "Chen Nuo and others did not accept interviews from reporters. They quickly walked through the red carpet and entered the Film Palace."

Also attach a photo.

A group photo of three people standing on the steps of the Film Palace.

Neither Chen Nuo, Liu Yifei nor Zhang Yimou had much smile on their faces.

If Chen Nuo knew that CCTV was broadcasting the event live, he might have stayed on the red carpet for a while longer, struck some handsome poses, and asked reporters to take more photos.

But the key point is that he didn't know about this at all, so at the moment, he really didn't have the mood to stay there, let alone deal with those reporters.

They hurriedly walked the red carpet in just five minutes and arrived at the buffet exchange meeting specially prepared for the guests at the Film Palace.

Quite a lot of people have gathered at the exchange meeting. Looking around, many people are holding beer in one hand, eating and drinking while chatting enthusiastically. The whole atmosphere is full of strong German style.

The food at the buffet was very rich. You could take whatever you wanted. It was typical German food, all meat dishes that were especially suitable for drinking.

Zhang Yimou, with his translator, was busy chatting with people he knew.

Chen Nuo and Liu Yifei found a corner and prepared to relax.

They didn't drink beer, because beer is a diuretic, and the award ceremony will last for two hours, and the Chinese bladder can't stand it. So they both picked a cocktail from the table.

"cheers."

"Cheers. Chen Nuo, I think you still have a chance, really."

"Okay, stop talking and drink."

Chen Nuo and Liu Yifei clinked their glasses and drank the red and green wine in their cups.

After drinking, he smacked his lips.

I guess the organizing committee of Germany, a country known as the "home of drunkards", was worried that the appearance of a group of drunk people at the award ceremony would have a bad impact, so the alcohol content of the wine was not too high. It tasted cool, sweet and quite delicious.

Looking at Liu Yifei again, she seemed to like the taste of this wine as well.

The two chatted and ate. Liu Yifei took a sip of wine, a trace of worry in her eyes, and asked Chen Nuo: "Chen Nuo, what do you think would happen if you didn't get the award?"

Chen Nuo smiled, "What can I do?"

Liu Yifei pouted slightly, and said in a tone that sounded a little angry and aggrieved: "Aren't you worried? Will a lot of people laugh at you? After all, everyone has high expectations of you."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Don't keep imagining these nonsense, OK."

Liu Yifei sighed softly, feeling a little disappointed: "But this is the first play I've worked on with you, I really don't want it to end like this..."

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "It's okay. When the time comes, work harder during the roadshow, visit more places, and do better box office sales. Calm down Director Zhang's anger."

Liu Yifei snorted in frustration, "I'm not afraid of this... Oh, forget it, let's drink. At most I..."

She didn't finish what she said.

Moreover, it was she who wanted to drink.

But in the end, because the waist of her skirt was too tight, she could only take small sips. Chen Nuo did not have these concerns. Unconsciously, in the end, he drank much more than Liu Yifei.

……

"Chen Nuo, are you okay?"

Fortunately, at this awards ceremony, the organizing committee gave The Love of Hawthorn Tree a seat not in the first row but in the fourth row.

He swapped seats with Lao Mouzi and moved to the inside, so overall he was not very conspicuous.

The person sitting next to him was a foreign guy. He greeted me when he sat down, and it sounded like he was speaking Russian.

On the right side of the aisle is Liu Yifei.

Hearing her question, Chen Nuo whispered, "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and said, "Your face looks red... Are you really drunk?"
