China Entertainment Anchor

Sixteen years later, he has grown from a young and energetic teenager to a mature and steady middle-aged man in his thirties.

Zhang Yang came to his senses and walked to the podium. He placed the Golden Bear on the stage and gave a loud speech:

“Thank you to the Berlin Film Festival, thank you to the jury for your recognition of this film, thank you to the entire crew of “Decision to Part”, and thank you to all the actors of this film.
Our joint efforts have created this film "Decision to Break Up", and this award is the greatest recognition of our efforts.
Finally, thank you Yifei. We had a lot of fun working together on this movie. Well, we have a lot of fun working together on every movie.

Finally, I would like to thank my child. His presence has brought a lot more joy to my creative environment. Thank you everyone!"

After Zhang Yang finished his acceptance speech, he walked to the center of the stage and raised his second Golden Bear.

The guests burst into warm applause again. After holding the trophy, Zhang Yang looked behind him and opened his arms to Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei walked over with a smile and hugged him.

"Since I couldn't let you take the Silver Bear, I'll give you this Golden Bear as compensation!" After the two hugged each other, Zhang Yang handed the Golden Bear to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei took the golden bear without hesitation. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She bent down and kissed the golden bear.

"This is a nice gift." She looked up at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang finished his speech, but tonight's award ceremony was not over yet. Juliet and Dieter walked together, and the other members of the jury held up a golden bear doll that was almost as tall as a person and gave it to Dieter.

After Zhang Yang hugged Li Xiaoran again on the stage, Liu Yifei reminded him to see this scene. He pulled Liu Yifei and said excitedly, "Let's go and say goodbye to Dieter."

Liu Yifei nodded, and the two walked to Dieter and spoke at the same time: "Diter, thank you for your contribution to the Berlin Film Festival and world cinema."

"Thank you. This may be the best blessing I have received today. After all, the one who is blessing me now is the true emperor of world cinema."

Dieter smiled, took two steps forward, and hugged Zhang Yang.

Juliet and other judges nearby were reminded by Dieter and came forward to hug Zhang Yang again.

"Zhang Yang, Juliet, take a photo with Dieter. It will be very meaningful." The female host suddenly suggested.

Between them, one has won the Grand Slam and the other has won two Grand Slams. They took a photo with Dieter, so you can imagine how popular they will be tomorrow.

Zhang Yang and Juliet smiled at each other, and the two of them surrounded Dieter. At this time, Liu Yifei smiled and brought the golden bear doll to Dieter: "Diter, don't forget it."

"OMG." XN
Juliet and other judges and Dieter all looked at Liu Yifei in surprise. Just now, this doll needed three or four judges to hold it together, but now Liu Yifei picked it up with one hand.

How terrifying.

The three people and the bear took a noisy photo.

"Zhang Yang, let's take one too." Juliet took the initiative to invite.

"OK."

After Zhang Yang and Juliet took their individual photos together, today's award ceremony officially ended.

The staff member walked over to Zhang Yang again and said, "Zhang Yang, Juliet, it's your turn to be interviewed."

The two nodded and walked towards the interview site next to them.

"Director, where is your Golden Bear?" the staff member asked hurriedly when they saw Zhang Yang was empty-handed.

This is an interview with the award winners. What would it look like without the trophy?

Zhang Yang turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei with a smile: "Of course it is where it should be."

"Why don't you both attend the interview together?" The staff knew how to make this kind of compromise when facing a newcomer who was the absolute first in the film industry. Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei were still husband and wife.

"Thank you." Zhang Yang looked at him with some surprise.

Then, I went to the interview site with Liu Yifei.

As soon as they entered the scene, reporters started snapping photos. There was a host in a dark green dress sitting in the interview area.
The host who was sitting there saw Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei coming and quickly stood up to greet them. After they sat down, the media members raised their hands one after another.

The host naturally gave the first chance to the German media.

Deutsche Welle: Director Zhang Yang, as the first person in the world to win the highest awards at two of the three major European film festivals, what do you want to say?

Zhang Yang knew that the more he was at this time, the more he had to be humble. His battle for this year was not over yet. He said modestly:

It is a great fortune to win one of the three highest awards at the European Film Festival.

The reason I was able to receive so many awards is not only because of the film itself, but also because of the fair and impartial selection by the jury.

A reporter from the BBC in the UK asked Liu Yifei directly: "Crystal, do you have any regrets about not winning the Best Actress award this time?"

Britain is indeed a professional troublemaker, starting to stir up trouble as soon as the question was asked, but his question was really good. If Liu Yifei wins the Best Actress award, then today not only will Zhang Yang win two of the three gold medals, but Liu Yifei will also achieve the triple gold Grand Slam.

Liu Yifei was in a good mood. She picked up the Golden Bear that was already on the table with a smile on her face: "Winning the Golden Bear is also a recognition of my acting skills. Whether I win the Best Actress award or not is not that important."

The next two people, mainly Zhang Yang, answered a few questions and the interview came to an end.

The host still gave the last question to the German media.

Bild: Director Zhang Yang, do you have any plans to come to Europe or Germany for your future film shoots?
Zhang Yang is currently making films mostly in China, and overseas he is working with the United States. There are countless European actors who want to work with him.

Zhang Yang thought about it carefully and said: "I don't have a specific plan for my next movie yet, and I may not make art films in the next three to five years.

After so many years of constant discharge, I think it's time to recharge myself, otherwise it will be more difficult to learn new things as time goes by.

As for coming to Europe to make a movie, he will definitely come if there is a chance." The media was immediately excited. They just wanted to know whether Zhang Yang would come to Europe to make a movie, but they ended up asking a big question.

Zhang Yang, who has just become the number one in the world film industry, has not made any art films for three to five years. They can already imagine how hot the news will be tomorrow.

Suddenly, a reporter shouted without using a microphone: "Director Zhang Yang, won't you help Crystal win the Best Actress Grand Slam?"

Everyone in the world knows Zhang Yang's little thoughts clearly.
They even suspected that even if domestic films did not go to the Toronto Film Festival last year, he would have brought "Decision to Part" to Berlin.

Zhang Yang turned his head and glanced at Liu Yifei: "After so many years of working with Yifei, her acting skills have reached a peak.

I believe she will have no problem working with any director. Of course, if you want to work with her, at least I have to check the script.”

Isn’t a new hot spot coming? After Liu Yifei and Zhang Yang got together, she has never acted in other people’s movies again.

In addition, Zhang Yang was so powerful that no one else wanted to hire her. But now Zhang Yang took the initiative to offer.
Although he has to review the script, there is still hope for Liu Yifei to act in the movie. She is a double winner of the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Lion Award.

Of course, it goes without saying that if it is not a top-notch art film script, there is no need to look for her, and it would be useless to look for her.

Amid the sound of media clicks, the interview of "Decision to Break Up" finally ended.

Next is the interview with Juliet. The final award winners of this Berlin Film Festival are also very interesting.

It was quite bold that Chinese films won the Best Picture and Best Actor and Best Actress awards in one fell swoop.

But Juliet seemed very comfortable with this kind of interview.

After she answered a few questions, the BBC reporter started to stir up trouble again.

BBC: Juliet, we understand that Crystal gave a brilliant performance in "Beyond the Dream", why wasn't she chosen for the Best Actress award this time?

Juliet had anticipated this question. Even if the reporter didn't ask, she would have taken the initiative to ask. She said calmly, "From the perspective of individual performance, Crystal and Yongmei are equally matched. Crystal may even be a little better. However, Wang Jingchun and Yongmei work together so well.

When we had a dispute over who to give the Best Actress award to, Sandra Wheeler suggested that, unless neither of them gave the award, Wang Jingchun and Yongmei should be awarded together, not individually.

Her proposal was approved by us.”

The media were immediately delighted. It seemed that Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei, the real couple, were not as good as Wang Jingchun and Yongmei, the fake couple? Or was it Zhang Yang who held Liu Yifei back?
This is good news. This year's Berlin Film Festival did a great job and gave the media people a good feast.

On the other side, Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei had already returned to the hotel. They had no idea what Juliet had said.

After returning to the hotel room, Liu Yifei put the golden bear on the bedside, then hugged Zhang Yang's neck and said coquettishly: "I will only act in your movies in my life, and not in anyone else's."

She was very emotional after listening to Zhang Yang's words. It has been 08 years since 11. They have worked together and won so many box office and awards.
Now that Zhang Yang asked her to work with others, she felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to.

She even thought about retiring from the entertainment industry the day Zhang Yang stopped directing.

What? Her goal has changed? People are always changing, okay? Maybe in a few days, her goal will continue to change.

Zhang Yang put his arm around her waist and laughed, "Okay, but I will probably shoot art films more and more slowly in the future. It may take three to five years or even longer to make one."

Zhang Yang will certainly not give up on art films, but if he were to create his own original works, it would not be possible to do so as quickly as it is now.

At this time, he had decided that in the three years from 20 to 22, in addition to completing the Forbidden City trilogy, he would also make an original art film.

"It's okay. As long as it's your movie, it'd be best if we act in it together." Liu Yifei put her head close to Zhang Yang's chest with a cunning look in her eyes, and took the opportunity to start making demands.

You still have to have dreams. What if they come true? At worst, you can use the honey trap.

Beijing, Zhang Yang's home, Shunyi villa

At eight o'clock in the morning on the 17th, Mother Liu and Zhang Hongyi were having breakfast. She thought of something and turned on the TV at home to CCTV-.

After getting up in the morning, she already knew that Zhang Yang had won his second Golden Bear, becoming the first person in the world to win three gold medals twice. She wanted to see if the central bank would report it.

It’s rare, so rare that Zhang Hongyi saw his grandmother turning on the TV while eating. But why are you watching Morning News? Shouldn’t you watch martial arts movies?

"Change the channel, change the channel." Zhang Hongyi yelled at Mother Liu.

Mother Liu ignored him and just said calmly, "Don't talk while eating."

Zhang Hongyi pouted and thought, it’s over, this family has no love for him.

He thought about it and reached out to take an egg. When he was about to peel it, his eyes rolled and he handed it to Mother Liu: "Grandma, I want to eat eggs."

The little guy felt himself fallen after saying this.

In the past, I would call grandma only for important matters, but now I just ask her to help me peel eggs.

Mother Liu took a look at the little guy and reached out to take the egg and started peeling it for him.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash and they both finished their breakfast but did not leave. At 8:25, the report from the Berlin Film Festival finally arrived.

The beautiful hostess said in a clear and melodious voice: "At 3 a.m. Beijing time today, the Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony was held, and the Chinese film "So Long, My Son" won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

The film "The Decision to Break Up" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.
