Rebirth Turn

The 73rd Berlin International Film Festival was held on February 4th and 14th local time. Films from more than 70 countries were screened in various units. It is a worldwide film event.

The opening ceremony of the film festival took place in the middle of the winter, and the red carpet was star-studded.

Different from the dim starlight of Chinese-language films in the Berlin Film Festival in previous years, a total of three Chinese-language films were shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival this year, and eleven Chinese-language films appeared in other units. It can be said that at this year's Berlin International Film Festival, Chinese-language films shine.

Correspondingly, there are also many Chinese movie stars walking the red carpet this year.

It was Han Yuan who walked the red carpet with Lu Yan. This was the second time they walked the red carpet together after the Hong Kong Film Awards. It's just that when they walked together last time, they were both candidates for Best Actor, but this time, Lu Yan's identity remained unchanged, and Han Yuan became a special judge of this film festival.

As soon as the two male gods appeared, there were bursts of screams, and the madness of the fans at the scene almost overturned the roof. The cry of "Together Together" resounded throughout the audience.

Although Lu Yan's shortlisted role this time is Wang Xuance, but because the person walking the red carpet with him at this moment is Han Yuan, it arouses fans' nostalgia for Ji You. And now, only three months have passed since Lu Yan won the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards with Ji Youyi.

After walking the red carpet, there are routine reporters taking pictures and interviews. The two movie stars stood together generously and let the photojournalists flash their lights. The interview questions also revolved around the film festival.

"Mr. Lu, including this time, this is the third time you have been nominated at a major film festival this year, and you have won two consecutive awards. Do you have the same confidence in this award?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "I don't dare to say it. That said, of course I hope to win the award, but whether I can or not depends on fate and the opinions of the judges."

"Speaking of the judges, it seems that Mr. Han is one of the specially invited judges this time. Will there be any suspicion of pleasing the judges when you walk the red carpet together?"

Lu Yan said with a smile, "If I can win the prize if I please the judges, I hope every judge can give me a chance to please me."

The reporter turned to Han Yuan again, "Then will Mr. Han think about his personal relationship a little when he is judging?"

Han Yuan replied seriously, "I will uphold the principle of fairness and justice, and carefully select the best actor that I recognize. Although I have a good relationship with Lu Yan in private, if I see a comparison in the review He is a better actor, and I will definitely not choose him for personal friendship. But in the same way, if I think Lu Yan is the best among the shortlisted actors, I will not choose him to avoid suspicion. "

The reporter laughed, "Han Yingdi is still so serious."

Then he threw the question to Lu Yan, "Mr. Lu won the Cannes Best Actor Award more than two years ago. Is there any difference in your mood now and then?"

"To be honest, I'm a lot more nervous now than I was then. Like most people think, I also think it was more luck to win the best actor that time, so it wasn't a big deal at that time about winning or not. Obsession. I am very honored to work with Director Chen this time. I am very confident that "The Legend of Wang Xuance" will win the Golden Bear Award, but if I fail to win the Silver Bear Award, it means that I have not met Director Chen's requirements. But no matter what, I will do my best.”

"Thank you very much for accepting our interview. Phoenix Entertainment Network will report for you."

After the opening ceremony, there is a ten-day event, including the main competition unit and other units. Filmmakers from all over the world gather and communicate here, aiming to promote the improvement of film art.

During these ten days, Lu Yan lingered at the venue, communicated with filmmakers from different countries and regions, watched excellent films from all over the world, and immersed himself in the world of film art, like a duck in water.

Time like this always flies very fast, and time quickly advances to the last day.

On February 14, local time, the award ceremony of the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival was held in early spring. It was freezing cold outside, but the award ceremony was as warm as spring.

The Berlin Film Festival respects his personal artistic style, as can be seen from the films he has been shortlisted and awarded over the years. The judges are also from all over the world, trying to make the selection method more fair and equitable.

And Chen Li is a director with a very strong personal style. He is best at shooting stories with a strong sense of history, especially biographies, which are full of romantic heroic colors. His last Golden Bear-winning work, Wei Qing, is one such film. And this time, his shortlisted film "The Biography of Wang Xuance" has brought his personal style to the extreme. It's no wonder that this year's Chinese film industry has rarely been shortlisted for three films, and this one is generally the most promising.

The procedure of the awards ceremony at the Berlin Film Festival is roughly the same as that of other film festivals. The most important Golden Bears are awarded at the end, while the Silver Bears are given earlier.

This time, the best actor of the Silver Bear Award was Han Yuan. When he appeared, he seemed to have some kind of hunch, and everyone turned their attention to Lu Yan. Lu Yan still had a smile on his face, but only those who knew him knew that his smile had become a little stiff because of nervousness.

Fortunately, Han Yuan is not a person who likes to sell things. He is usually not good at enlivening the atmosphere. After taking the stage, a few cold humors caused laughter in the audience.

Before Lu Yan could relax in laughter, he raised his heart again, because Han Yuan had already begun to announce the final result, "I am honored and happy to announce that I have won the 73rd World Silver Bear Award for the best The actor is Mr. Lu Yan from China."

When Lu Yan stepped onto the podium, he was still a little dizzy, until Han Yuan smiled and handed the Silver Bear Award trophy to him. Han Yuan smiled and said congratulations. Lu Yan shook hands with him and took the trophy. There was still applause when the two embraced.

Lu Yanping calmed down, walked to the microphone, and started another important acceptance speech in his life, "Thank you Chairman and the judges, thank you for conferring this award to me. Thank you director Chen Li, thank you for making such a good film. Movie, thank you for giving me the opportunity to create such a hero as Wang Xuance. I know that I can stand here this year because of his light."

Having said this, Lu Yan smiled, and the scene was full of laughter, and he continued, "Before flying to Berlin, I said to a person that I hope to win this award. After I get this award, I will Announcing one thing. Today is February 14th, Valentine's Day in the West, and in our hometown, today is a more important day, New Year's Eve. After today, the new year really comes, so today this The award is the best New Year's gift I've ever received. But before twenty-four, it's this year. This year is the most important year of my life, not only because, in this year, I have won the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards, the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards, and today, the Best Actor at the Silver Bear Award. As an actor, I am lucky, and as a man, I am even more lucky .Because before the new year, me and the person I love the most have changed from lovers to family."

Lu Yan raised his left hand with a smile, revealing the sparkling ring on his ring finger, "Yes, I'm married. Although this New Year's Eve this year, for some reason, we can't spend it together. But we still have Ten, twenty, thirty, more New Year's Eve, to spend together. We can also welcome countless New Years together. For me, that's the most important thing."

Lu Yan ended his acceptance speech with another soulful gaze. It is unknown whether his fans will be heartbroken or moved after seeing this video tomorrow.

But the awards ceremony continued until "The Biography of Wang Xuance" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture.

As soon as the awards ceremony was over, all the winners tonight were surrounded by a large number of media reporters. Lu Yan, Han Yuan and Chen Li were the main targets of Chinese journalists.

The interview with Chen Li mainly focused on the award-winning film "The Biography of Wang Xuance", but it is not the first time that Chen Li has won an international award. The interview questions are similar, and the answers are uniform.

In the interview with Han Yuan, apart from that he is a special guest judge this year, the most important thing is that he awarded Lu Yan the first prize for best actor. A reporter asked very directly, "Mr. Han, at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Lu Yan won the Best Actor Award from you. Tonight, you handed the Silver Bear Award to him again. May I ask how you feel."

Han Yuan's answer was as serious as always, "First of all, Lu Yan's golden statue award was not taken from me, but voted for him by fans. As for tonight's award, it's the same as I said before. , he deserves his name. I can tell you plainly that my vote is for Lu Yan, because I recognize him as the best of all the finalists in this session. As for being able to personally award me the award , I'm very happy. Without a doubt, Lu Yan is one of the best actors."

The interview with Lu Yan was more focused on his marriage, in addition to his impression of the actor again.

The reporters felt that it was better to ask Lu Yan directly, "Mr. Lu, when did you get married?"

Lu Yan replied with a smile, looking very happy, "A month ago."

"Can you tell me where you registered with the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

Continuing to smile, "At the embassy in the Netherlands."

A brief silence, going to the Netherlands to get married is now almost synonymous with a situation. A reporter boldly asked, "Why do you have to go to the Netherlands to get married, won't it be too troublesome?"

"Because it's not allowed in China yet." Lu Yan sighed while speaking, but his tone was so calm as if he was saying that the weather is bad today.

The reporters' eyes and jaws dropped. What kind of rhythm is this? !

Lu Yan added another sentence, completely breaking the hearts of the reporters who were trying to struggle, "Yes, that's what you think. The object of my marriage is male."

The reporters couldn't utter a word, and they were all stunned, wondering if they were hallucinating. What did the movie emperor Lu just say? It seems to say that his object is a man!

Although the reporters were speechless, the expressions on their faces were very exciting. Seeing that Lu Yan was still calm, they almost wanted to throw the microphone. Everyone is roaring in their hearts, sir, are you coming out of the closet, just come out like this? How can you be so calm? What kind of divine unfolding is this? Be mentally prepared first, dear!

However, when the reporters adjusted their mentality and wanted to continue to dig deeper, the target had left gracefully. This time, someone really dropped the microphone.

As soon as Su Mo got off the plane, he hurriedly took a taxi to the scene of the awards ceremony.

Although he really wanted to be by Lu Yan's side during the awards ceremony, it happened that it was New Year's Eve. According to the tradition of the Su family, if there is no irresistible reason for manpower, the family banquet on New Year's Eve must be attended, especially by the head of the family. Su Mo has the responsibility as the head of the Su family. Even if he hopes to be by his side when his lover is important, he will not easily break this rule.

But as soon as the family dinner was over, he took a private jet to Berlin overnight. However, after all, there was an eight-hour trip, and when we arrived in Berlin, it was already eleven o'clock at night, and the awards ceremony should have already ended.

Even so, Su Mo stubbornly rushed to the scene.

Sure enough, the people who arrived at the awards ceremony were already empty, and the venue was deserted. Su Mo lowered his head in disappointment, sighed, and walked out slowly, taking out his mobile phone and making a call while walking.

When the voice on the phone just rang, he also heard the familiar incoming call music on the other party's mobile phone.

Su Mo raised his head suddenly and saw Lu Yan walking towards him with a smile on his bright mobile phone under the weak light.

Su Mo's heart suddenly rose nervously, and his voice still carried the slight gasping left after running fast, "In the end, how's it going?"

He was still on the plane when the results were announced, and then rushed here in a hurry, too late to read the news.

Lu Yan didn't speak, but raised the Silver Bear trophy that he had been holding in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly became wider and wider.

Su Mo instantly relaxed, let out a sigh of relief, showed a smile, walked over slowly, hugged him tightly, and whispered, "Congratulations, Berlin actor!"
