Millennium director

"The winner of the Best Actor Award at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival is——"

Accompanied by the voice of Sandra Wheeler, a member of the jury, a German actor, and the representative work "Toni Erdmann", a thin envelope was opened.

He did not read out the name on the envelope at the first time, but first raised his head and looked around the crew sitting below, and then smiled and said: "Congratulations! Wang Jingchun "So Long, My Son""

As his voice fell, the crew of "So Long, My Son" seemed to explode. Wang Jingchun stood up from his seat and turned around to hug Wang Xiaoshuai tightly.

On the side of the "Cai Wenji" crew, Zhang Yimou also stood up and greeted him with a smile, sending his blessings to Wang Jingchun.

Wang Jingchun also starred in Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War", and contributed a wonderful performance in the movie.

This actor can be said to be a representative of hard-working actors in the mainland film industry.

His appearance is not handsome, so since his difficult debut in 1998, he has almost always played supporting roles and clowns, and has never had a chance to play the leading role.

But with his superb acting skills and his serious attitude towards his acting career for 20 years, he finally got the reward he deserved today - the Berlin Film Emperor!

"In 2014, I participated in the suspenseful love movie "Black Coal, Thin Ice" written and directed by Diao Yinan, in which I played the eccentric dry cleaner owner Rongrong. The film won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival..."

The behind-the-scenes dialogue at the scene continued to introduce Wang Jingchun's fate with the Berlin Film Festival.

This new film emperor won awards at the Berlin International Film Festival twice. It can be said that he is a direct actor of Berlin, and he has also received strong publicity from the Berlin Organizing Committee.

After all, for the Berlin International Film Festival, it also hopes that its award-winning actors will be more famous in Europe than the neighboring Cannes and Venice, which is also a part of the competition among the three major film festivals.

Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the media area not far away, also smiled and applauded, but his nervousness was even higher.

Wang Jingchun has already won the Best Actor Award, so what about the Best Actress Award?

Will it be Yongmei in the original time and space?

In the movie "So Long, My Son", the couple played by Wang Jingchun and Yongmei moved the audience and judges.

At present, the overseas pre-sale results of the film are the best in the main competition unit of this year's Berlin Film Festival, and many fans are looking forward to the early release of "So Long, My Son".

The two have always been the favorites to win awards.

Although "Cai Wenji" led by Zhang Yimou also received good feedback from the media and the audience, can it really snatch the Best Actress Award from Yongmei?

Wu Yuan, who has always been full of confidence, is also a little unsure.

But he soon calmed down.

Yongmei's performance in "So Long, My Son" is indeed very good, but Liu Yifei is not the Liu Yifei in the original time and space.

In this time and space, Liu Yifei has been in the film industry since she was 16 or 17 years old, and has been personally taught by many great directors in China and Hollywood, and has Wu Yuan's high-level guidance on the development path of actors in the next 20 years.

Now she is already one of the top actresses in China, and her acting skills are not inferior to Yongmei at all.

And she is the main actor in "Cai Wenji", and the difficulty of her performance is higher than "So Long, My Son"!

After all, for any actor, it is very difficult to play a role with a time span of 30 years. As long as you can do it, you will almost definitely win the Best Actress Award.

Have confidence in your wife!

After the Best Actor Award was presented, after a lot of noise, Sandra Wheeler continued to present the next award, which is the much-anticipated Best Actress Award.

Is Yongmei in "So Long, My Son" better, or is Liu Yifei in "Cai Wenji" the last laugh?

Not only the two crews were expecting and nervous, but all the invited guests were also very curious about who would win the grand prize.

After all, outside the venue, these two films were recognized as strong contenders for the Best Actress Award, and the other crews shortlisted for the main competition unit all tacitly agreed that this award would only be given to these two films.

Sandra Wheeler did not keep anyone in suspense, or rather, the Berlin International Film Festival never keeps anyone in suspense.

He returned to the stage with a calm look, took out another folded envelope from his pocket, and calmly opened it and took a look.

"The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival is——"

Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the audience, tightly grasped the hem of her dress with both hands, bit her silver teeth lightly, and looked around nervously, until she met Wu Yuan's eyes, then she took a deep breath and looked at Sandra Wheeler on the stage with a firm look.

"Congratulations——"

"Liu Yifei's "Cai Wenji"!"

A reasonable and unexpected result.

Yongmei from the So Long, My Son crew sighed in disappointment, then smiled again and applauded the crew next door.

Liu Yifei covered her mouth in surprise, tears instantly fell from the corners of her eyes.

She really got it!

She was stunned in her seat in disbelief until Yu Hewei, Zhang Yimou and others around her reminded her to stand up and thank them. Then she reacted, hugged her colleagues in the crew, and walked up to the podium trembling all over, and took the heavy Silver Bear from Sandra Wheeler.

Facing the audience, Liu Yifei took a deep breath.

At this moment, she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and the first thought that came to her mind was "Wu Yuan's first European award is also the Silver Bear!"

Thinking of this, she looked at Wu Yuan in the media area, who was smiling brightly and applauding her.

"Thank you." Staring into Wu Yuan's eyes, Liu Yifei began to speak about her acceptance speech.

"I am honored to receive the Best Actress Award at the Berlin International Film Festival."

"This is the greatest recognition of my fifteen-year acting career."

"I want to thank Director Zhang Yimou for his efforts. Without his guidance, there would be no "Cai Wenji."

"I would also like to thank my husband who has been silently supporting my acting career and thank him for his support along the way."

"Without him, there would be no actress Liu Yifei."

"In the past, I always sat in the audience and watched him receive the award and thank me. Today I finally have the opportunity to stand on the podium and thank him."

"This feeling is really wonderful."

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei suddenly weighed the silver bear in her hand, reached out and touched her belly, and blinked mischievously: "Today, I am not the only one receiving the award."

"This trophy is not awarded to me alone."

"This is an extremely happy thing."

"I think I will always remember this day, remember this happy day."

"Thank you again, Berlin Film Festival!" (End of this chapter)
