Millennium director

Chapter 66 Best Director!

boom--

Everyone in the crew of "The Embalmer" jumped up from their chairs. Wu Yuan grabbed Zhang Guorong's arm and shouted excitedly: "Zhang Sheng, I'm calling you! You are the Berlin Best Actor!"

Zhang Guorong was completely stunned. After Wu Yuan shook his shoulders vigorously a few times, he finally came to his senses and murmured: "Am I the Berlin Best Actor?"

"I am the Berlin Best Actor!"

In the past few decades, the Chinese have won the best actor in Cannes and the best actor in Venice, but only in Berlin, no Chinese actor has won the best actor.

Now, the first Berlin actor born in China is born!

After excitedly hugging everyone on the crew, Zhang Guorong stepped onto the podium with her head held high and her legs trembling slightly.

"Thanks."

Taking the silver bear from the presenting guest, Zhang Guorong stood in front of the microphone with a bright smile and delivered his acceptance speech in fluent English:

"I'm really overwhelmed and honored."

"Thank you to Director Wu Yuan for entrusting me with this role. He personally flew to Hong Kong Island to meet with me, which gave me the opportunity to star in this movie."

"I would also like to thank him for his help in acting, life and work on the set. Although we have only known each other for a short time, he is already a close friend in my heart."

"Finally, I would like to thank the film festival for awarding this award to me. Today will be the most unforgettable day in my life."

At the end of his speech, Zhang Guorong solemnly thanked the fans for their support in Mandarin and Cantonese, and then walked off the stage waving a silver bear.

Before he could sit back down, Wu Yuan reached out and grabbed the silver bear: "Let me see!"

"This is not really made of silver!" Wu Yuan turned around and looked at the trophy for a few times before biting it. Only then was he sure that this thing was not made of real silver.

"How can it really be made of silver? The golden bear can't be made of pure gold?" Li Xuejian said with some laughter and tears, and couldn't wait to touch the silver bear with his hand.

Director Han on the side did not come to compete for the trophy, but happily said with emotion: "Hehehe, it's amazing, the first Chinese actor in Berlin."

"There may be a bigger prize soon." Zhang Guorong, who had already calmed down a little by giving a speech, put his arm around Wu Yuan's shoulders: "Director Wu's filming is so great, there will definitely be a big prize."

The awards ceremony continued on the stage, and the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress was awarded to Halle Berry of "Death Row". Yes, the actress who said on the red carpet that she wanted to work with Wu Yuan.

This is an actress who walks both commercially and artistically. She can win Best Actress in a literary film at first, and win box office in commercial blockbusters such as "X-Men" and "007" at next.

After the best actress awards were given out, there were only three awards left to be awarded.

They are the most important Golden Bear Award for Best Film, the second most important Jury Award Silver Bear Award, and the third most important Silver Bear Award for Best Director.

In order of awarding from least to most important, the Best Director Award will be awarded first.

And this award is also the one most likely to be won by "The Embalmer"!

The crew of "The Embalmer", which had just experienced some joy, became nervous again, and everyone's heart was in their throats.

Everyone watched helplessly as the presenter opened the award envelope, watched him smile, and watched him slowly open his mouth, as if time had been pressed in slow motion at this moment.

Until the name came out of his mouth:

"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the 52nd Berlin International Film Festival is"

"Wu Yuan's "Encoffiant", congratulations to him!"

"Director Wu, you won the grand prize!" Sun Li, who was the most nervous in the group, rushed up and grabbed Wu Yuan's arm, shaking it back and forth excitedly, her little face flushed with excitement!

The ones who reacted faster than her were the media from various countries at the scene, especially the Chinese press corps. "Quick! Send this news back to China immediately! Director Wu has won the best director!"

"The youngest best director in Berlin is born!"

"Director Wu is the first Berlin Best Director from Mainland China!"

Other foreign reporters also exclaimed and quickly notified domestic newspapers to send out news.

"Being the best director in Berlin at the age of 19 and a half, this will be a record that will be prohibitive and difficult for future generations to break!"

Berlin has given birth to such a young best director, and it definitely deserves to be reported as soon as possible!

Through the Internet and mobile phone signals, within a few minutes, the whole world knew the news, and many filmmakers were burned by the news.

"This is really crazy news!"

Back to the Berlin Film Festival.

Wu Yuan stood on the podium and took the Silver Bear trophy with his name engraved on it with high spirits. He held the trophy like a Coconut Tree advertisement and said excitedly: "Anyway, I am very excited, really!"

"I know that I am still very young. Being able to win this award is the encouragement and support given to me by the jury. The world needs more young directors like me."

"Thank you to the film festival, thank you to the jury, and more importantly, thank you to the teachers at my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy. Without the hard work of the teachers, there would be no Wu Yuan standing here now!"

""The Embalmer" is a great movie. This movie brings together China's best three generations of actors, old, middle and young. They gave the most perfect performances to the movie. I also want to thank every crew member who worked hard for the movie. Staff, this trophy not only belongs to me, but also to everyone on the crew of "The Embalmer"!"

"Finally." Wu Yuan took a deep breath and looked up at the starry sky in the open air, "Mom, dad, grandparents, have you seen it in the sky?"

"I won the Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival!"

After the Silver Bear Award for Best Director is awarded, the subsequent awards have nothing to do with the crew of "The Embalmer".

The Grand Jury Prize, the Silver Bear, was awarded to the German film "Kebab Point".

The Golden Bear Award for Best Picture was beyond the expectations of all film critics. It was the first time in 12 years that a double-yolked egg was awarded. "Bloody Sunday" and "Spirited Away" jointly won the Golden Bear Award.

The next day, media from all over the world forwarded reports on the awards at this Berlin Film Festival.

However, with the exception of Germany, Japan, the UK and Ireland, the mainstream media in most other countries around the world have focused their coverage of this Berlin Film Festival on Wu Yuan and "The Embalmer".

"The birth of the first Chinese Berlin Best Actor - Zhang Guorong!" 》

"The youngest Berlin Film Festival Best Director in history is born!" 》

"Wu Yuan, who is less than 20 years old, won the Best Director in Berlin!" 》

"The first Chinese Best Actor in Berlin, the first Mainland Berlin Best Director, the legend of "The Embalmer" has just begun! 》

Compared with Hayao Miyazaki and "Bloody Sunday", Wu Yuan is obviously more topical and worthy of in-depth reporting!

As for Wu Yuan himself, he stayed in Berlin for two more days, and after following Dong Han to sell the overseas distribution and copyright of "The Embalmer", he was ready to return home with great honor.

On the evening of the closing ceremony, teacher Xie Xiaojing called Wu Yuan and asked him to go back to school and take Silver Bear with him!

The film department banners have been hung up! Just wait for him, the rightful owner, to go back and celebrate!
