Global Movie Emperor

"Where are our seats? Okay, thank you ma'am."

The location has been found under the guidance of the staff. This year's venue design is different from the past. It is no longer theater-style rows of seats, but banquet-like seats.

The two people's seats are in the third row of the round table, slightly to the right. Strangely, the other award-winning crew are not adjacent to Mickey and the two, but are on the far left of the third row. The distance in the middle is occupied by A group of famous people separated.

This ranking method is very special, but it is not special when it comes to Mickey. As for the reason, everyone knows that even the celebrities who have already taken their seats are indifferent when they see Mickey. I guess they have never said anything before. The frustrated Mickey also swelled up greatly in front of these old-timers.

Now he can be regarded as paying for his youthful frivolity and swallowing the bitter fruit he sown. It would be okay if he did it by himself, but if Lu Ze also suffers, he will feel a little embarrassed.

After a few winks, Lu Ze received the signal transmitted by Mickey and waved his hands, obviously not paying attention to it. After sitting down, before the ceremony started, he secretly fiddled with his phone under the table and replied to friends in China. His blessing.

After that, he took a photo of the venue and himself and uploaded it to Weibo. Now that he no longer has a team, he still needs to do things personally to maintain fan loyalty. Since Lu Ze's comeback, the number of posts he has posted on Weibo is even higher than before. The total number of years is still more, although I have only posted less than 20 Weibo posts in the past six months...

When he scrolled to the bottom of the contact information, Lu Ze suddenly discovered that Chen Yongbin had also sent him a message, wishing him good results in Berlin. Naturally, Lu Ze did not dare to neglect and quickly replied to the message to express his gratitude. Originally, I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect my phone to vibrate again. When I opened it, I saw another message from Teacher Chen.

"When will you return to China? Several cadres from the Electric Power Association will retire this year. I recommended you. This time I just want to ask your opinion and see if you want to develop in this area. If you have this intention, we will wait for you to return to China. Let’s talk.”

After this message was sent, although Lu Ze did not lose his composure, he was indeed frightened. Electric Association! Electrical Association! The full name is not the Electronic Information Fraud Prevention Association, but the Chinese Filmmakers Association!

An association founded by the state with a history of 70 years, its main functions are to promote the development of the film industry, establish industry standard plans, establish domestic awards, commend film industry practitioners, coordinate with local film associations, and communicate with other countries Carrying out artistic exchanges with the region is a well-deserved leader in the Chinese film industry, and it is also the ultimate dream of those practitioners who have prospects for a career.

Lu Ze never thought that one day he would have a chance to enter the Electrical Association. After all, the members of the association are all famous figures in the system, all of them are academic leaders. They are very particular about their background in the system and who they study under. That is to say, if you are not from a top school, have never acted in a serious drama, and your master is not orthodox, they will not take you to play at all.

And what about Lu Ze? Although he was selected as a national second-level actor, officially joined the party, and acted in the drama "Finding You", his background is not good. He is just a grassroots, and he takes a commercial route. With this, people can directly give Lu Ze refuted.

Why is there a door now? He has an absolute relationship with Chen Yongbin. If he hadn't given Lu Ze a hand as the chairman of the Electrical Association, Lu Ze wouldn't even have to think about such a good thing.

Lu Ze was really moved, not only because of this incident, but from the moment he first met Mr. Chen, the second-level actor cast a crucial vote for him, and later expressed his stance for Lu Ze in the conflict with Qian Shijia. As for Sega, it hasn't even won a single domestic award in the past two years.

This time, you recommended Lu Ze to the Electrical Industry Association. How can you repay Lu Ze's kindness? And what is Teacher Chen’s purpose in helping Lu Ze so much? He just admires Lu Ze, a young man. Although he has taught Lu Ze the acting skills of dramas, he is at best a master and apprentice, but does not have the title of master and apprentice. Naturally, he is grateful to such an old man.

If you have a chance to join the Electric Power Association, should you join or not? Only a fool would choose not to enter, and this is the opportunity given by Teacher Chen. If he refuses to give it up, he will inevitably be disappointed. No matter what aspect he considers, entering the Electrical Association will be beneficial to him. Yes, I looked at the text on the phone screen, scratched the screen with my thumb a few times, and typed a reply.

"I will follow your arrangements, Teacher Chen."

You can't say when I will go back for this kind of thing. It's like someone has to wait until you are free to bring something good to you. The best answer is to listen to the other party's arrangement. When the other party asks you to go back, get up and leave without saying anything. is the best choice.

The film festival has now opened. Amid the applause and cheers of the guests and ticket-buying audiences, Germany's national treasure singer took the lead and sang a very cheerful song. Of course, Lu Ze was thinking about the Electricity Association and did not Listen carefully, wait until the phone vibrates, and then quickly light up the phone screen.

"Personnel transfers will take some time. At present, the cadres have not resigned and are handing over work. The preliminary work of the Golden Rooster Award must also be completed by them. In about three or four months, you will have time to come back. Now you start to accept overseas appointments. If you want to make a movie, you have to show a 120% attitude when shooting it, don’t embarrass the Chinese actors, and don’t go to your hometown when you are abroad, so pay attention to your safety.”

"Of course, don't worry, Teacher Chen."

After waiting for two minutes, the phone did not vibrate again. I looked at the stage. Now the awards had begun. I put the phone back in the inner pocket of my suit and applauded the winners of the non-main competition units.

The light shone under the stage, and the liquid in the goblet faded into other colors. I lifted it up and put it in front of my nose. I took a sip after confirming that it was water. I rubbed my face repeatedly with my hands to calm down my mood before taking a sip. Focusing on the stage, the film festival, was the most important thing for him tonight.

…

After the awards for non-main competition units such as documentaries and short films are over, there are the minor items of the main competition unit, such as awards for costumes, photography, music, visual effects, post-production, etc. It is a no-brainer. Lu Ze also knows that these awards have nothing to do with "The Effect" fate.

Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything and be proficient in everything. You must know that the preparatory work and post-editing work of the crew were completed by Lu Ze and Mickey. The crew is so big, and there are no top masters in the industry to do it. Helpers, it is naturally very difficult to obtain these small prizes with the abilities of two people.

Lu Ze won't go into details. Apart from acting, he can only be said to be good at other things, but not good at them. Mickey is not very accomplished in clothing and is also insensitive to the use of colors. Due to financial problems in music, they can only choose Master works that have passed the property rights protection period play a role in setting off the atmosphere.

The shooting was also limited to equipment and did not produce very good results. As for the post-production... a movie edited with a home laptop can ensure the smoothness and sense of immersion in the story, which is already very worthy of encouragement.

The two of them did not come here for these awards. Seeing the trophies being handed over to the winners with tears in their eyes, they did not feel the slightest bit anxious or impatient until the competition for the Best Screenplay Award took place and they casually communicated in low voices. The two of them are more serious.

The two award presenters on the stage were chatting and laughing, making a vague obscenity. They picked up the envelope and opened it. They deliberately stretched out their hands to shake their cuffs and pretended to glance at the people in the audience, their smiles gradually becoming distorted.

"The winner of the Silver Bear Award and Best Screenplay Award at the 75th Berlin Film Festival is..."

"Mitch Taylor!"

"Yes, to be honest Lu Ze, I just like this moment."

With a flick of his wrist and a soft self-congratulation, Mickey stood up in the shining lights, opened his arms with a smile, and did not shy away from the gaze of others. With a hint of pride, he expressed his joy at this moment to Lu Ze.

"As if you don't like it, just go up and receive the award."

Looking up at this kid, Lu Ze applauded him gently. People allow geniuses to be arrogant because they think geniuses are arrogant, and Mickey is also in the ranks of being tolerated, or in other words, he has returned to the ranks of being tolerated. middle.

He strode onto the stage, shook hands with the two presenters, took the trophy and placed it on the podium. He straightened his clothes in front of everyone, and finally cleared his throat.

"Wow~ Good evening, gentlemen and ladies. I am very happy to be in this position again tonight and speak in front of everyone. I am Mickey Taylor, the Mickey Taylor you are familiar with, not the poisonous one in the news. Driving addict, thank you very much to the jury for giving me this award. I really didn’t get so high that I threatened them with a gun, haha, really... I have a lot of emotions. My thoughts about the movie, I think this is the best award I have ever received. Only the best director or the best film should be mentioned. Now I just want to say to everyone here that I will continue to surpass myself and make more and better movies. I hope to stand here every year and win one movie after another. This trophy, I encourage you all to pay tribute to the film art that I love, thank you."

A typical Mickey-style speech, without too much thanks, only looking forward to the future, showing a sense of self-confidence and arrogance that is not afraid of the hostility of everyone, as if to say that in front of him, everyone is a younger brother, just like Lu Zedi Seeing him for the first time, he was not afraid of offending anyone at all. Lu Ze could only smile bitterly when he heard what he said.

He just walked off the stage gracefully, and in the dissatisfied eyes of everyone, he swaggered like a winner showing off his new toy. He didn't restrain himself until he returned to his seat, because his arrogance was not for his friends. He was just showing off to Lu Ze like a child, as if to say, look what is this?

Perhaps the program team also felt the dissatisfaction of the guests in the audience. After Mickey left the stage, there were not many scenes. The next award, the Best Actress Award, was slowed down a bit when it was presented, as if to give some compensation to the winner. Let everyone listen to this Austrian woman's journey while making a movie.

Until the woman left in tears, the showdown involving Lu Ze officially started. In the eyes of ordinary movie fans, the status of the best actor and best actress is second only to the best picture, and even higher than the best director. After all, no one loves them. Watch a greasy old man accept the award with a smile on the stage.

From fifteen minutes ago, the Berlin Film Festival's live broadcast ratings began to rise, and online topics continued to break through the original popularity, generating a large number of topics.

In the midst of great expectations, the well-known singer left the stage after singing, and two presenters, a man and a woman, came on stage. The man, Lu Ze, looked familiar. He should have seen his works before, but because his beard was too dense, Lu Ze completely recognized him. However, Lu Ze was a little surprised by the female guest. It was none other than Queen Berlin, Kamiya Shugula.

Kamya's popularity obviously surpassed that of the male guests, and she received warm cheers from everyone. Under the humility of the male guests, she took the lead in thanking the film practitioners who have made outstanding contributions to the film industry this year, and joked with the male guests. Notify the big screen to play movie clips of the four nominees.

"The nominees for Best Actor at the 75th Berlin Silver Bear Award are... "Dead Under" Dennis Brown (Denmark): I heard... the mute singing a sad song, the old man learning to speak, material Poverty in the world will not lead to spiritual wealth. On the contrary, rich people will always find the meaning of life when they are born. There will not be so much listening, and there will not be so much compassion. If I want to add an appropriate value to life. Words, then...one fucking sentence is enough.”

""Dwarves" Markus Julian (Germany): Why should I be a clown in the circus! Why should I be the butt of people's laughter like an animal! Why should I work hard every day but still have no food to eat! No clothes to cover Body! Why doesn’t anyone regard me as a man when I have xx? Is it because I’m a dwarf? Is it because I’m a freak who’s not as tall as a normal human leg! Damn it! Morgan! Tell me, Is this fair?"

""Spring Will Come" by Marshall De Luca (Italy): I think... I can go have some drinks, then find a beautiful woman to have a good time, spend all my money on her, and buy her The jewelry she likes, just for her to scream and give me a passionate kiss, to duel with my love rival like a man, I don’t care what the outcome is, because I know it will be difficult for me to survive this winter, but... Magpies will still come in spring Come."

"Effect" Lu Ze (UK, China): As a result, you will have dignity and your own beliefs. You will be different from pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, other people, and any other life in the world. The same, you are you, an independent individual... Your thinking deserves to be praised, you can use knowledge to defend your rights, and even fight against death."

There is no doubt that this is a battle between dragons and tigers. Although "The Effect" still has a score of 9.1 on IMBD, other movies are not weak either, with scores of 8.3, 8.8 and 8.1 respectively. Among them, "Dwarves" It has become a hit in German theaters this year.

Compared with Kyle played by Lu Ze, the dwarfism patient played by Marcus is more visually intense because his figure is not achieved by special effects. He is a dwarfism patient in real life. This script is actually based on Marcus's grandfather.

In terms of acting ability, Lu Ze is the well-deserved eldest brother among them. Every scene, every line, every action, and even every look in his eyes are all right. Marcus is playing the leading role for the first time, and he has won the title of the leading actor. The time in the actor's profession is also relatively short, and his performance ability is two to three levels lower than Lu Ze's.

He has two trump cards that he can compete with Lu Ze. First, he has the home court advantage. Being a native of Germany is more popular with the judges than Lu Ze, an outsider. Second, the judges will give Marcus some sympathy points.

It doesn't sound good to say it, but if you don't give sympathy points, the German people will be dissatisfied. As a commercial film festival founded by a company, they still have to consider the impact of the public and the media, so the results are not Before it was announced, the atmosphere in the venue was really confusing.

Under this situation, Lu Ze would of course look at his competitor involuntarily, but he didn't expect that Marcus, who was three tables away, would already have his eyes on Lu Ze. The two looked at each other. Lu Ze could see the strong hostility in his eyes.

Due to his body shape, not to mention the protagonist, even a supporting role, there may not be a character with dwarfism in a hundred-person crew. Therefore, Marcus's acting career has been very bumpy, and it is common for him to not have enough food. Now that he can compete for the Golden Bear Award, it is a huge opportunity for him. At least he can confirm his status as the number one dwarf actor in Europe.

Once he really wins the award, his salary will naturally increase greatly, which will reduce the pressure of life a lot, and he can even save a sum of money to face the various symptoms that patients with dwarfism are prone to when they reach middle age. In other words In other words, this trophy is his lifeline.

Lu Ze understood Marcus's thoughts very well. Of course he had also watched the movie "Dwarves". The film described the complications of middle-aged and elderly patients in great detail. As for the pain and torture Marcus would face in the future, Lu Ze Ze is naturally sympathetic, but this is not a reason for him to give in.

First of all, the award is not decided by him, but by the judging panel. It is impossible for him to refuse the official trophy because of Marcus. This is very offending. Even if he sympathizes with Marcus, he cannot do this. Otherwise, if he offends the organizer, there is no question whether they will award Marcus an award he does not want. It may also cause him to miss the Golden Bear Trophy in his life. This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

So he could only deliberately ignore the hostile eyes, nodded friendly to Marcus, turned around and waited for Kamia's lottery results.

The envelope was opened. Kamiya had a gentle face and gently pulled her hair. She took two steps forward to get close to the microphone. She looked around at all the guests on the first floor of the venue and gasped like a kid. At that moment, people's hearts jumped to their throats. , shouting out the name of the winner of the 75th Berlin Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Trophy for Best Actor.

"I announce that the winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor is!...Lu Ze!"

Regardless of how much the tension caused by his real illness shocked the audience, and regardless of whether the judging panel gave him emotional points, in the end... Lu Ze won. The difference in strength lies here. If Marcus can't catch him, then he loses. It's not unfair.

When he looked at Marcus again, he was very disappointed. He was comforted by other creative members of the "Dwarves" crew. Lu Ze felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, but this was definitely not the best time to apologize in the past. During this period, Lu Ze could only choose to turn a blind eye. He stood up slowly amidst Mickey's congratulations, straightened up his appearance, and graciously accepted the applause and congratulations of the guests. He stepped onto the stage in two steps and received the Silver Bear trophy from Kamia. , At this point, Lu Ze’s fifth Best Actor trophy... has been obtained.
