Chapter 66 Best Director!

Boom——

Everyone in the crew of "Departures" jumped up from their chairs. Wu Yuan grabbed Zhang Guorong's arm and shouted excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, I'm calling you! You are the Berlin Film Emperor!"

Zhang Guorong, who was completely stunned, reacted after Wu Yuan shook his shoulders a few times, and murmured: "I am the Berlin Film Emperor?"

"I am the Berlin Film Emperor!"

In the past few decades, Chinese people have won the Cannes Film Emperor and the Venice Film Emperor, but the Berlin Film Emperor has never been won by a Chinese actor.

Now, the first Berlin Film Emperor born in China is born!

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

"Thank you."

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

"Really, I am a little overwhelmed and honored."

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

"I am also grateful for his help in my acting, crew life and work. Although we have not known each other for a long time, he is already my best friend in my heart."

"Finally, thank the Film Festival for giving me this award. Today will be the most unforgettable day of 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 the silver bear.

Before he sat back in his seat, Wu Yuan reached out and grabbed the silver bear: "Let me see!"

"This is not made of real silver!" Wu Yuan turned the trophy left and right and looked at it a few times, almost biting it, and then he was sure that this thing was not real silver.

"How can it really be made of silver? The Golden Bear must be made of pure gold?" Li Xuejian said with a bit of a smile, and couldn't wait to touch the silver bear.

Mr. Han on the side didn't come to compete for the trophy, but said happily: "Hehehe, it's amazing, the first Chinese to win the Berlin Film Emperor."

"Maybe there will be a bigger award later." Zhang Guorong, who had calmed down a little by giving a speech, put his arm around Wu Yuan's shoulders: "Director Wu shot so well, there will definitely be a big award."

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

This is an actress who walks on both commercial and literary legs. She can act in literary films and win the Best Actress, and she can act in commercial blockbusters such as "X-Men" and "007" to win the box office.

After the Best Actress Award was presented, there were only three major awards left.

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

According to the order of awarding from light to heavy, the first award to be awarded is the Best Director Award.

And this award is also the most likely award for "Departures"!

The crew of "Departures", which had just experienced a period of joy, became nervous again, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

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

Until he said the name:

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

"Wu Yuan "Departures", congratulations to him!"

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

The media from various countries, especially the Chinese journalists, reacted faster than her. "Quick! Send this news back to China immediately! Director Wu won the Best Director Award!"

"The youngest Best Director in Berlin was born!"

"Director Wu is the first Best Director in Berlin from the mainland!"

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

"The Best Director in Berlin at the age of 19 and a half, this will be a record that will be daunting and difficult to break for future generations!"

Such a young Best Director was born in Berlin, it is definitely worth reporting at the first time!

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

"This is really crazy news!"

The view returned to the Berlin Film Festival.

Wu Yuan stood on the podium, received the Silver Bear trophy with his name engraved on it, and held the trophy like a coconut brand advertisement, and said excitedly: "In short, I am very excited, really!"

"I know I am still very young, and I can win this award because of 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 thank you to the teachers of my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy. Without the teachers' dedication, there would be no Wu Yuan standing here now!"

"Departures is a great movie. It brings together the best actors from three generations in China. They have given the most perfect performances. I also want to thank every crew member who worked hard for the movie. This trophy belongs not only to me, but also to everyone in the crew of Departures!"

"Finally." Wu Yuan took a deep breath and looked up at the starry sky. "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, did you see it in the sky?"

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

After the Silver Bear Award for Best Director was presented, the following awards had nothing to do with the crew of Departures.

The Silver Bear Award for the Jury Grand Prix was presented to the German film "The Grill".

The Golden Bear Award for Best Film was beyond the expectations of all film critics. After 12 years, a double yolk egg was awarded again. "Bloody Sunday" and "Spirited Away" won the Golden Bear Award together.

The next day, media around the world forwarded reports on the awards of this year's Berlin Film Festival.

However, except for Germany, Japan, Britain and Ireland, the mainstream media in most other countries in the world focused their coverage of this Berlin Film Festival on Wu Yuan and "Departures".

"The first Chinese Berlin Film Emperor was born - Zhang Guorong!"

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

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

"The first Chinese Berlin Film Emperor, the first mainland Berlin Best Director, the legend of "Departures" has just begun!"

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

Wu Yuan himself stayed in Berlin for two more days. After following Mr. Han to sell the overseas distribution and copyright of "Departures", he was ready to return home with honor.

On the night of the closing ceremony, Teacher Xie Xiaojing called Wu Yuan and asked him to return to school and bring the Silver Bear with him!

The banners of the Film Department have been put up! Just waiting for him to go back to celebrate!
