Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 257 The referees are all my people, why do you want to fight me!

Won an award?
Humph! Just a newcomer award!

When Chen Kai first heard that "The Bicycle Thief" won the award, he was indeed surprised.

But I thought to myself that this award is not important and it’s not a big deal.

The little girl just took it, it’s no big deal.

But, Brother Chen Kai has just calmed down a little.

"Best New Actor...Ben Lee! Lynn Choi! '17'!"

Clap...applause rang out!
Ah this...our Director Chen is really confused.

what's the situation!
what happened?

Our Director Chen was a little panicked.

But fortunately, it’s still a rookie award.

Both the Best New Actor and Best Actress awards were won by this movie?

Just take it, it’s just a rookie award.

Director Chen returned to normal.

It just took a little longer this time than last time.

He didn't care about such a small change.

But Guan Zhilin beside him could see all of this.

The beauty could hardly suppress the smile on her face.

"It shouldn't be a big deal." I couldn't help but say a few words of comfort.

Director Chen felt relieved after hearing this and immediately said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a newcomer award."

He originally wanted to hide his previous change in expression, but his words were completely revealing.

Guan Zhilin responded with a smile and said no more.

In fact, after contacting this great director these days, Guan Zhilin was sure of one thing.

This guy doesn't like women at all.

Never mind, I won’t say more, haha…

Next, it’s time to win the grand prize.

The award setting of this European film festival is somewhat different from that of award ceremonies such as the Oscars.

One of the biggest differences is the Jury Award.

Translation: This is the award chosen by the jury itself.

Well, everyone can understand this.

But that's where the problem lies.

To put it bluntly, the Golden Bear Award, the final grand award of the Berlin Film Festival, was it decided by your jury?

That’s right too.

If that’s the case, then why bother having a jury award?
Not even one.

In fact, there is a ranking system for the Berlin Film Festival.

Golden Bear Award.

Grand Jury Award.

Jury Prize.

123, it's arranged like this.

That sounds weird since you guys judged them all, so why not just give them the first, second and third places?

Or gold, silver or bronze medals.

But they don't do that. They insist on naming it according to the jury or something.

In fact, sometimes it changes.

There hasn't been a jury prize like this before.

Anyway, they have to do it this way, and it actually makes it easier to remember the rankings.

Only the first place is the Gold Bear, and the rest are Silver Bears.

So, the top three this time...

Our Director Chen silently said in his heart, it must not be this movie, it must not be...

The results are here!

"The Grand Jury Prize...'Seventeen Years Old Bicycle'!"

After the award presenter read out the name, the audience burst into applause!

Wang Xiaoshuai even adjusted his glasses before going on stage.

Brother Chen Kai saw all this and was completely stunned.

How could this be?
This is the second place!

For a movie like this, this second place result is already a great success.

The Grand Jury Prize has a big word on it.

This this……

snort!
Our Director Chen snorted coldly.

It's just that this guy got lucky.

"Director Chen..."

"Oh, I'm fine."

Guan Zhilin could clearly see that although Director Chen was trying hard to hide it, the anger on his face was already obvious.

Obviously angry.

Ma Xun is really an amazing guy. He actually won a big prize in such a great film festival.

In Guan Zhilin's opinion, the Berlin Film Festival itself is already very impressive.

And in recent years, Director Chen has been saying bad things about the movie "The Bicycle Thief".

However, judging from the program brochure and other aspects, the response to this movie is still very good.

But Director Chen works very hard.

But now... haha, all my efforts are in vain.

He looks like a clown.

Of course, Guan Zhilin can only keep such comments in mind.

The final Golden Bear Award was given to "Intimacy" directed by a French director.

But in fact, this movie is a co-production of four countries: France, Germany, Britain and Spain, and the original novel is very famous.

However, Guan Zhilin really couldn't understand this movie.

I mean physical intimacy, or some kind of intimacy... it's quite painful.

Anyway, it's just an art film like the ones from Europe and the United States... pretty pornographic.

But this Golden Bear Award is not as good as Director Chen’s performance just now.

And what happens next is even more interesting.

After the award ceremony, it was time for the cocktail party.

Generally speaking, this reception is the last chance to discuss business.

Basically, everything that can be finalized has been finalized.

The copyrights of many movies are traded in various ways.

This is the key.

Director Chen was also present of course, as his film "Killing Me Gently" still had to sell.

But unexpectedly, I met that guy.

"Hello, Director Chen."

"Oh, it's you……"

"Ma Xun, we've met before."

"Have you seen it?"

"It doesn't matter whether I've met you before or not, I've met you now." "That's right, haha..."

Ma Xun actually appeared.

As soon as he came, Guan Zhilin consciously stepped back a little, but in fact, the beautiful Guan really wanted to watch this show.

It will definitely be interesting.

Ma Xun came over on his own initiative and took the initiative to talk to Director Chen, looking very familiar with him.

It was obvious that he wanted to say something.

"Director Chen, we have to thank you for winning the award for 17 Years Old Bicycle."

coming!

Guan Zhilin perked up, and Director Chen was frowning.

"Alas, I don't accept rewards without merit, so you don't need to thank me."

Ma Xun continued with a smile: "That's not right, I've heard some rumors a long time ago, but these rumors... hehe..."

He suddenly moved closer to Director Chen and said something in his ear.

"The referees here are all my people. Why do you want to fight me?"

In a word, Brother Chen Kai was completely exhausted.

After saying this, Ma Xun left in a leisurely manner.

That’s right, he said this just to piss off our Director Chen!

Just ask if you are angry?

Looking at Director Chen's face as red as pig liver, Guan Zhilin wanted to laugh.

This Ma Xun is really a childish person. He must take revenge.

Director Chen almost had a blood vessel burst today...

……

Let’s talk about Ma Xun leaving the cocktail party.

Just as he was about to call a taxi, one came over.

It was Yuanyuan who called in advance.

"Why haven't you gone back yet?"

"Isn't this waiting for you?"

Yuanyuan said this very naturally, just like an old couple.

Ma Xun got into the car with a smile.

I saw Yuanyuan was still wearing the same dress, she looked really beautiful.

Of course, there is a small problem with this outfit.

That would make her look a little more mature.

However, this just made up for her current problem.

Yuanyuan is too naive now. Even after spending several days and nights with Ma Xun, she is still naive.

Just be a little more mature.

Another feature of this outfit is that it highlights the Chinese style.

In fact, Yuanyuan in the original time and space was one of the first people to bring Chinese style to international film festivals.

It was the 05 Cannes Film Festival, and it was still Wang Xiaoshuai, shooting "Tianhong".

That year Yuanyuan was in Cannes and was quite dazzling.

A new set is changed almost every day, and the beautiful pictures are all over our domestic Internet.

However, she ultimately failed to win the Best Actress award.

According to Wu Yusen, it was just one vote short.

We don’t know if it’s true or not, but now it’s the Berlin Film Festival.

She shined early.

only. . .

"This time it's not the queen of the film."

Ma Xun just started a topic and Yuanyuan followed it up.

"It doesn't matter, it's great. I never thought about winning the Best Actress award."

Her tone was gentle, and she spoke as if she was comforting Ma Xun.

"You're not doing this well. You have no ambition at all. As your boss, I won't like that."

Ma Xun's words sounded threatening, but Yuanyuan was not afraid at all.

"But that's just who I am. If you don't like it, there's nothing I can do about it."

How could Ma Xun not like her timid look?

"You, fight when you need to."

Ma Xun’s subtext is to learn from Bingbing.

Yuanyuan certainly understood, "But becoming a movie queen requires luck."

Ma Xun shook his head. "Not at all. Awards like these, such as Best Actress and Best Actor, are all shady operations. They are all just a contest of interests and power among many parties."

That's how he sees it anyway.

Yuanyuan pouted, "You always speak so realistically, it makes people dislike you."

Ah, using what Ma Xun just said?

But Ma Xun was amused, "You are even more amazing."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Yuanyuan was actually smiling too. She had no reason to be unhappy tonight.

But then I thought of Director Chen again.

"Why would he do that?"

Yuanyuan obviously also knew something.

Ma Xun laughed and said, “In fact, this kind of film festival award itself is a manifestation of cultural hegemony.”

This is too serious.

Yuanyuan said she didn't understand.

Ma Xun continued, "Then let me ask you, what does Director Chen always like to say after his movies fail at the box office?"

This……

Yuanyuan started thinking about it, and luckily, she figured it out!
"You don't understand! No, it seems like the audience doesn't understand!"

She also imitated Director Chen's tone.

But Ma Xun was so amused that he laughed out loud.

"Yes, you are right. He always says that the audience doesn't understand. On the surface, this seems to be a way of shifting the blame, but in fact, it is also a kind of small hegemony.

Simply put, the movies directed by Chen are not something that ordinary people can understand.

Then, doesn't the final right of interpretation belong to him?
The same is true when it comes to awarding prizes at these film festivals.”

Yuanyuan seemed to understand, but couldn't help but complain, "Thank you for your great advice."

Ma Xun also admitted, "I don't really want to talk about this, but this is actually the case."

Soon, the car arrived at the hotel.

The two of them returned to the room as quickly as possible, and were even anxious to get out of the door.

Ma Xun has already lifted the hem of her cheongsam...

"Anything else you want to say?"

"No more."

Ma Xun couldn't wait to kiss Yuanyuan's red lips.

Yuanyuan is with Ma Xun, and she really falls in love with this feeling.

Even if he fucks me to death, I still like it...

Berlin is destined to be sleepless tonight.
