The next day, when Qin Guan stepped on the red carpet, he realized that he was not dreaming.
From the moment he stepped on the red carpet, the surrounding media, reporters, and fans who had come from all directions to pay attention to this year's film festival let out deafening cheers for the first time in the history of this award ceremony.
Unlike the Oscars or the Cannes Awards, this was the first time he was welcomed by real applause on the red carpet of one of the three major European film festivals.
"Qin Guan! Look over here! "
"Qin Guan! I love you! I'm your most loyal fan! Please give me your autograph! "
"Qin Guan, please look over here! I'm a reporter from French Fashion Media!"
All the photographers adjusted their cameras as he walked by. The small group of fans was so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
The committee had arranged for him to stop at a corner near the end of the red carpet for a few minutes.
The fans took out their camera equipment and tried their best to take photos with him.
"Qin Guan, I saw your performance in 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'. It was wonderful!"
"Wow! Will you come to Milan this year, Qin Guan? Or London? I will definitely go! "
In just two or three minutes, every fan who wanted an autograph had a close conversation with their idol. All they needed was a way to express their inner joy.
Qin Guan smiled and took photos with them without any complaints, leaving behind an enchanting figure.
"My trip to Berlin was really worth it …"
"Yes, I can die without regrets!"
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia The exaggerated reaction of the fans didn't affect Qin Guan, who was sitting in the hall with the crew of "Heroes" and "Blind Shaft".
Although the films had nothing to do with each other, they were connected because of the complicated relationship between the actors and actresses.
Director Zhang got to know Li Yang, who was also from China. This was the first time George had seen the power of a Chinese director at the Berlin Film Festival.
The film festival seemed to be particularly fond of and tolerant of artistic films produced by China. Many film critics and judges were very fond of Chinese films.
In their eyes, Chinese art films had a history that fascinated them, so they were more inclined to the works of Chinese directors.
There were only a few nominees for the final award, but two Chinese films had been nominated.
While George, who was a newcomer among the directors, was still feeling uneasy, the entire Berlin Film Festival's award ceremony had begun.
All the awards were given out from the lightest one and ended with the most important one.
Naturally, the consolation prizes for this year's Berlin Film Festival, which were symbolic of the opening ceremony, were given out starting with the Alfred Bauer Special Innovation Award.
"The winner of the 53rd Alfred Bauer Special Innovation Award is' Hero '..."
The cameras were all focused on Zhang Yimou. He was a regular at the Berlin Film Festival, and he was the director who had started his path to winning awards with the film "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit". Basically all the media people in Berlin knew him.
On the big screen, Director Zhang's face was expressionless. He stood up slowly, his body as straight as ever.
Only Qin Guan, who had worked with him before, could sense the indescribable disappointment in the Chinese director.
The failure of "Hero" at the Oscars had been a big blow to Director Zhang. Even the Berlin Film Festival was not interested in "Hero", which was out of his expectations.
At this time, even if he had a myriad of emotions on his mind, he had to appear calm in front of everyone. As a newcomer, he had won a consolation award, which was simply a celebration. As a former winner of the Golden Bear Award, this award was not an affirmation of Zhang Yimou.
After Zhang Yimou left the stage with the award, he didn't say anything else. He just sat quietly in the audience, as if the award ceremony had nothing to do with him anymore.
It wasn't until the next award about the Chinese was announced that he showed a surprised expression.
"The winner of the 53rd Silver Bear Award is' Confessions of a Dangerous Mind '."
George seemed to have expected this. He pushed Qin Guan and looked at the Asian section like a child showing off his talent.
What do you think? Even if a Chinese director wins an award, so what? I made a Berlin Best Actor Award winner!
Of course, he had already taken all the credit away from Qin Guan, so he had to take all the credit.
Wang Baoqiang, who was sitting next to Li Yang, looked completely different that day.
In China, the fastest way to shorten the distance between two people was to have a meal together. On their way back to the hotel, Qin Guan couldn't stand Li Yang and Wang Baoqiang's weird taste anymore. He asked his styling team to work on "Blind Shaft".
Although our theme is cruel and close to the people, our director and actors don't need to be so close to the people during the award ceremony, right?
Now, Wang Baoqiang had changed his appearance. His hair, which he thought was very fashionable, had been styled into a simple and refreshing style. Together with Li Yang, who kept his hair short, they welcomed a fashion feast with short hair.
They were wearing white shirts and slightly modified suits. They finally looked like normal people on the red carpet.
Wang Baoqiang was looking at Qin Guan with admiration.
"Aiya, director, look at Brother Qin. He's so awesome. He even won the Best Actor Award!"
"Hey, Director, do you need Brother Qin to sign for me?"
"Hey, Director, did I eat meat with Brother Qin yesterday?"
Men, drag this person away!
Qin Guan walked off the stage with the silver bear trophy in his hand. As the director of the film, he hugged his favorite actor.
Wang Baoqiang turned to Qin Guan. Li Yang, who had been relaxed for less than two minutes, heard his name.
