Chapter 092
In the Berlin Film Palace, when "Peacock" was about halfway through on the big screen, Jiang Xiao himself felt a little depressed in the darkness.
The previous red carpet ceremony for the premiere was held on time at three o'clock, and he successfully completed the short red carpet with the main creative staff.
The next step was naturally to watch movies, but during the process, he made an unexpected discovery.
His personal scenes were completely inconsistent with his scenes during filming. They were so different that many plots were cut.
For example, a lot of scenes between him and Jiang Yiyan were deleted, not to mention the passionate scene, and a lot of other scenes were also deleted.
The former was successfully transformed into a character who was completely filled out for the plot.
Jiang Xiao's character is not that good either. His distinct personality is blurred and his character has completely lost its three-dimensionality, especially in the second half, which is completely ruined.
Fortunately, he had said before that there was a possibility of winning Best Actor, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Unless the judges were really blind, it seemed that the chance was not high.
Faced with such a result, could he not be depressed? He felt like he had been slapped in the face.
Even if no one knows his previous thoughts.
It seems that he really had no luck during this trip to Berlin. First he was tricked, and now his character was cut out.
However, Jiang Xiao, who was depressed and had to accept it, slowly accepted the result.
Some things cannot be forced. Since things are already like this, there is no point in worrying about it.
Compared to his personal depression, the movie "Peacock" received very good reviews after its premiere.
From the audience to other German directors or the media, everyone was full of praise.
Some people even say that "Peacock" saved this somewhat mediocre Berlin Film Festival, which is a slight exaggeration.
…………
Two o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
This time the Berlin Film Festival finally ushered in the most important awards ceremony.
Yes, it is a bit different from the various domestic award ceremonies as imagined. The Berlin Film Festival starts the award ceremony at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, not after the closing ceremony on the red carpet.
In short, as the award ceremony began and slowly came to an end, at a certain moment, Jiang Xiao suddenly heard the award guest on the stage, the Chinese-American actress Bai Mou, spit out the name "Peacock".
He knew that the situation in his memory had not changed. The film still won the Silver Bear Award, the Jury Prize second only to the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture. Now he had witnessed this scene with his own eyes.
"Hua hua hua~~!!!"
Along with the polite applause of the audience, Jiang Xiao also stood up together with other creative members of the crew, clapped their hands, and congratulated director Gu Changwei.
Although he did not receive the award personally, the Silver Bear Award is a tribute to the entire "Peacock". Now that he is involved in it, he will always feel a little bit honored.
Soon, Gu Changwei came on stage as a representative and took the Silver Bear trophy from Bai.
At the same time, Jiang Xiao, who was sitting down again in the audience, took a second look at Bai who was presenting the award. I heard that Bai was also one of the judges of this film festival and seemed to have replaced the original Gong Li.
To put it bluntly, this person can be regarded as one of the artists who moved from China to Hollywood, but he does not have a good reputation. To describe him as infamous is definitely not an exaggeration.
All kinds of monsters often challenge the patience of people who eat melons, and show off their skills.
It is also because of these reasons that Chen Chong, who is Chinese-American and has similar experiences, has completely developed into two different people.
I really don’t know why the Berlin Film Festival would have the brainpower to invite this person to be a judge.
Putting these aside, Jiang Xiao quickly turned his attention to Gu Changwei, who was delivering his acceptance speech.
The other party first thanked the main creative staff of the Yitong crew and said that the award was shared by everyone. Basically, they were just polite words.
It belongs to everyone, so why not cut the silver bear into pieces and keep a piece for each person as a souvenir.
But what is more surprising is that in the second half of his speech, Gu Changwei madly "confessed" to Jiang Wenli.
It has to be said that this appearance made him understand more about Comrade Lao Gu. On the surface, he seemed to be a person who was not good at words, but he actually had quite a lot of ideas in his heart.
It's no wonder that Jiang Wenli was poached from Wang Quan'an, an old man with a very boring personality.
…………
By the time the award ceremony was over, Jiang Xiao's trip to Berlin had come to an end.
He did not stay to attend the red carpet of the closing ceremony in the evening. At about 3:30, he packed his simple luggage and rushed to Berlin Airport alone, preparing to return home.
These were all pre-arranged itineraries, and it was not because of anything else that he left first.
And because if I don’t leave today, I have to wait three more days for a flight to Shanghai.
In addition, the other main creators of the crew will all fly to the capital. He is the only one flying to the Magic City, and he was originally supposed to leave separately.
Another thing to mention is that "Peacock" was officially released in China on the 18th.
I heard that the distribution company Bona bought the film rights in advance and the price was not high.
Now that the news of winning the award has spread, it will have a boosting effect to some extent, and Fatty Yu has gained an advantage.
Of course, "Peacock" is a relatively boring literary film, and it doesn't have much box office potential, even if it wins awards.
Especially considering the current market environment, it is unlikely to achieve any surprising box office results.
But no matter what, Bona will definitely not lose money on this transaction, and there will still be some small profit.
I feel that Fatty Yu's luck is really good, and it will be the same in the future. Many projects that other companies are not optimistic about will eventually make the former a huge profit.
Subsequently, Jiang Xiao may be absent from all subsequent activities of "Peacock", whether it is the celebration of winning an award or the promotion of the movie.
After all, he wants to continue filming "The Condor".
…………
On the 21st, Jiang Xiao appeared on the set of "The Condor" again.
Then, as soon as a certain girl saw him, she pulled him to an almost deserted corner and said, "Master, you are back!"
"What are you doing? I'm here, why can't I come back?"
Jiang Xiao, who could guess a little bit of Yang Mi's little thoughts, responded with a smile.
"Why not, I just want to ask if Germany is fun? I've never been abroad before, so I'm very curious."
Yang Mi, whose eyes were full of curiosity, quickly asked again.
"I'm not going to play. Is there any fun in it?"
Although he said that, Jiang Xiao actually took the opportunity to take some time to play around Potsdamer Platz.
We went to see the famous Brandenburg Gate, and then walked along the edge to the Tiergarten Park, the largest city park in Berlin and the largest in Europe.
It was really big, but because of limited time, he only visited a small part of it.
It's a pity that it's not as convenient as smartphones in the future. You can take photos whenever you want, so he didn't leave any evidence of his play.
I was so impulsive that I almost found a big tree in the park and left a reminder in Japanese saying "come here for a visit".
It's a pity that he doesn't speak Japanese, and he's not stupid enough to use Chinese to tarnish his country's image, uh...
"If there is a chance in the future, I will take you abroad to play. Hey, I'll give this to you."
