Chapter 1439 1439 Silver Bear Trophy
All the suspense ended, Zhang Zhen was just a smoke bomb from the chairman. After "Death-infernal Affairs" missed the Best Director and Best Actress one after another, the jury still expressed their love and affirmation for this work with the Best Actor Silver Bear Award.
Hugo won the Silver Bear Award at the 46th Berlin Film Festival, which not only announced that countless debates before the film festival gradually surfaced, but the chaos and disputes that followed were predictable; more importantly, the Berlin Film Festival used a Best Actor Award to express their affirmation to Hugo to the world.
At the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards in 1992, Hugo won his first worst male lead award, and became a laughing stock in the United States for a while; but after that, Hugo rebounded and showed amazing talent and amazing strength. He first relied on "Schindler's List" to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man, and then won the title of Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for his wonderful performance in "Pulp Novels". Now, the touching performance of "Death Prison Walking" has won the Best Actor Award for Hugo's Berlin Film Festival. This is definitely a miracle!
This actor, who is about to turn 29 in nine months, is only one winner at the Venice Film Festival from the Grand Slam. Of course, if it is a little more demanding, the Oscar Best Supporting Actor Trophy needs to be replaced with the Best Actor. But there is no doubt that Hugo is one of the best actors in the world today. On the upcoming Oscars next month, Hugo will also carry the momentum of the Berlin Film Festival actor to compete fiercely with Nicholas, and launch a fierce battle with his first Oscar winner, Little Golden Man.
What is important is not only the award, but also the youth of Hugo, and the unlimited potential he has shown in the past four years. Every trophy seems to be natural, stunning his talent and his charm. "Death-in-law Walk" witnessed Hugo's acting talent shining in the history of film, and the Berlin Film Festival has been recorded in history with this work, which also makes the 46th Berlin Film Festival destined to become an important page in film history.
"I knew! I knew!" Tim's reaction was even faster and fiercer than Hugo. He stood up directly, then gave Hugo a solid hug and slapped Hugo's back hard. The hard hit almost made Hugo feel that he was about to vomit blood.
Hugo was a little excited at first, but after being beaten so hard by Tim, he couldn't help but start coughing and had no time to think. Then he saw Tim's eyes full of tears because he was too excited. Tim looked at Hugo seriously, patted Hugo's shoulder hard again, and sighed, "This is what you deserve."
In fact, after the list of Golden Globes was released, the one who was really angry was not Hugo, but Tim Robbins, Steven Spielberg, Joseph Gibbs, Rick Rosen, etc., because they knew clearly what Hugo had experienced during the filming of the "Death Guard Walk". The investment of not being crazy and not living almost shocked everyone. As Hugo's friends and witnesses of all this, they even yearned for recognition from film critics more than Hugo.
Therefore, after the Golden Globe Awards, a good man like Tim made swear words on the spot, completely ignoring his personal image. Charlize, who represented Hugo on stage to receive the Best Actor in Music Comedy, was even more unfair. Rick didn't tell her anything at all. The award speech was Charlize's own attitude.
Later, Steven and David Geffen, the big guys, were very angry, and there might not be no one behind the media's criticism.
Now, the Berlin Film Festival finally gave Hugo a affirmation. Tim was even more excited than winning the award, because deep down, he was always guilty. Hugo was interpreting his works with his life. If Hugo had not agreed to his invitation, maybe those things would not have happened. Although Hugo kept saying that he was fine, Tim knew clearly that who could really say that he had recovered from mental illness?
After missing the Best Director, Tim was just a little disappointed; when missing the Best Actress, Tim was just a little regretful; but if missing the Best Actor, Tim would be really angry.
Hugo looked at the tears flashing in Tim's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little. Susan also came over at this time, gave Hugo a hug, and said in his ear, "Go on stage and enjoy your applause, this is your moment."
Hugo also hugged Susan back hard, then patted Tim on the shoulder and took a step towards the stage.
Before coming to the Berlin Film Festival, did Hugo fantasize about winning the title of Best Actor? To be honest, he had fantasized about it before. He still hoped that his performance in "Death-infernal Affairs" would be recognized, but he himself knew that the possibility was not high. After all, due to the large differences in aesthetic orientation of the three major European film festivals, it was very difficult to reach the top one by one. He just won the Cannes Best Actor two years ago, and the chances of being in Berlin this year are obviously not too great.
But in fact, there is a huge difference between reality and fantasy. Everything seems to be covered with a halo, which makes people not see it clearly enough. So, until when I took the trophy from Xu Anhua, Hugo still felt a little unreal enough, and his emotions seemed a bit ridiculous and speechless. This made Hugo's face look at the silly silver bear in his hand. The smile at the corner of his mouth completely bloomed.
Standing in front of the microphone, Hugo looked at the trophy in his hand again. Unlike the Cannes Film Festival, it was just a certificate. This was a real Silver Bear Prize. Its weight was far beyond Hugo's imagination. It heavyly put the wrist under tremendous pressure. The clear edges and cold touch in his hand told Hugo: All this is true.
"Oh...thank you, thank you." Hugo raised his head and let out a long breath. Looking at the guests standing up in the audience, everyone was giving themselves applause. All kinds of faces were looming in his sight, reminding him that this was Berlin, and the faint warmth in his eyes turned into a smile on the corner of his mouth, which bloomed freely. "First of all, I must thank Tim and Susan who worked hard with me. Guys, you are the best. This trophy is not only me, but also the recognition of our entire team by the Berlin Film Festival."
Deep down, Hugo was still quite regretful that Tim and Susan missed the award, so the first reaction in his chaotic brain was to express his gratitude to them. Without them, there would be no success of "Death-infernal stroll". Hugo's words made Tim and Susan stand stubbornly under the stage, applauding and expressing their support. Susan even gave Hugo a blowing kiss, which made Hugo chuckle.
"I have fantasized about the scene where I stand in this position, but the reality is too big. I seem to be unable to hold on to the weight of this trophy." Hugo's straightforward and humorous words made a chuckling sound, "Photographing a 'Death Prisoner Walk' is not easy, so I must thank the Berlin Film Festival for giving me this opportunity to stand here and feel the sense of accomplishment, so that I know that as an actor, although I still have many shortcomings, it seems that the direction of my efforts is correct, which makes me feel at ease."
The scene was filled with laughter. Hugo's playfulness was a little confident and a sarcastic tone, which was really pleasing. People from any country could appreciate Hugo's humor. Such a scene was rare in Berlin.
"If I follow the plan, I should be standing here and speaking some German, and then speaking some other languages to express my internationalization and excellent communication skills, so that the Berlin audience will be willing to scream for me." Hugo's comments made all the Germans on the scene laugh, and even the radio host couldn't help but sigh in German, "Hugo is really a humorous young man. I believe that many ladies are already screaming for him at this time."
"But unfortunately, my preparation is still insufficient, so I won't waste everyone's time." After saying that, Hugo raised the Silver Bear Prize in his right hand and said with a smile, "Thank you!" This sentence is said in German. After saying that, Hugo still stood there, stared at the audience with wide eyes, as if asking for confirmation whether his pronunciation was correct. This small action made the scene laugh again. Then Hugo shrugged, showed off his little pride, and then made a gentleman greeting, then turned around and left the stage.
In an instant, the applause sounded again. The audience not only congratulated Hugo's trophy for its true reputation, but also applauded Hugo's personal charm. The popular actor easily made Berlin begin to fall in love with him. The lively scene became a rare scene in Berlin.
With the final conclusion of the Best Actor Silver Bear Award, the trend of the Golden Bear Award has also lost its final suspense. Obviously, "Death-in-law Walking" does not have the ability to win the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award at the same time. The "Reason and Emotion" that has been widely praised since the release of this year's Film Festival has not won a single award so far. This is obviously abnormal, so there is no doubt about the ownership of the Golden Bear Award.
Sure enough, the chairman of the jury made his debut again after Hugo and announced the winner of the final Golden Bear Award, which was the "Reason and Emotion" directed by Lee An. This work also became the first shot for Lee An to truly enter the mainstream sight of Hollywood, and opened his long history of striving in Hollywood for twenty years in the future.
