Chen Yu then took Liu Yifei's hand.

Sure enough, beneath the seemingly calm exterior, her emotions were clearly turbulent.

Diane Kruger's resounding voice instantly ignited a burst of enthusiastic applause throughout the venue.

What a surprise! It's an absolutely huge surprise!
Liu Yifei's brain was somewhat blank at that moment, and it took her a long time to actually receive the information.

She? She really won the Best Actress award at the Berlin Film Festival?
Liu Yifei was completely stunned.

Tilda Swinton sat in the judges' seat, her gaze fixed on where Liu Yifei was.

The Oriental Pearl Tower radiates a dazzling brilliance.

During their time on set, Tilda Swinton developed a strong liking for Liu Yifei.

As for now.

His eyes betrayed his undisguised admiration.

"If you don't take action soon, I'll have to go on stage and accept the award for you."

Chen Yu's voice rang in her ears, and Liu Yifei suddenly realized what was going on.

Applause erupted again from the crowd.

Diao Yinan and the entire cast and crew of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" were so enthusiastic about filming that they practically clapped their hands until they were raw.

"Yifei! Congratulations!!!"

"I knew you would win!"

Liu Yifei's talent is evident to all.

Given Chen Yu's influence, this result was not unexpected.

Cheers resounded in my ears.

As for Liu Yifei, after hugging Chen Yu, she walked towards the awards stage.

I felt completely lightheaded.

The applause was continuous throughout the journey.

At this moment, all the honors belong to Liu Yifei alone.

She accepted the trophy and certificate from Diane Kruger, and even though she was trying her best to restrain herself, it was still easy to see that her eyes were slightly red.

This is definitely a milestone moment in her career.

Excitement, emotion, and exhilaration.

Her emotions were far from calm at this moment.

Chen Yu took out his phone to capture this sacred and beautiful moment of his wife.

"Thank you to the Berlin Film Festival and to the jury for this honor."

"This award means a lot to me."

The applause from the audience was continuous, and everyone was genuinely happy for Liu Yifei.

After all, most of the filmmakers present had seen "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

To be precise, this film broke away from Liu Yifei's previous screen image, but her performance was absolutely perfect.

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Diao Yinan for giving me this opportunity to portray this challenging role."

"I would also like to thank all the main creators, actors and staff of 'Black Coal, Thin Ice'. This honor belongs to all of us who worked hard for it."

“I am very proud to stand on this stage as a Chinese actor.”

Liu Yifei looked down at the audience.

A crystal tear slid down her cheek.

"Ouch—"

"Why are you crying? Sissi winning the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award is something to be happy about."

Shen Xiaoqin wiped away Liu Xiaoli's tears.

"I'm crying tears of joy."

Liu Xiaoli sniffed.

Watching Liu Yifei speaking eloquently on TV, how could a mother possibly suppress her emotions at that moment?

"Thanks to Xiao Chen, Xixi has achieved what she has today."

Shen Xiaoqin patted Liu Xiaoli on the shoulder.

"What are you saying? They are family. Husband and wife are one."

"Besides, our Sisi won the award because of her own ability."

Liu Xiaoli nodded.

There was no further rebuttal.

But she knew perfectly well how much benefit Liu Yifei had gained since she got together with Chen Yu.

All the scripts were reviewed and approved by Chen Yu at every stage.

Almost every time, it elevates Liu Yifei's reputation to a new level.

Chen Yu has a very discerning eye when it comes to selecting scripts.

She was naturally at ease knowing that the two children were together.

Liu Yifei's acceptance speech is still ongoing.

Finally, I want to thank one person.

"A person who has left a deep and lasting mark on my life."

Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, the entire audience immediately began to cheer.

As you can probably guess, Liu Yifei is going to mention someone next.

This perfect couple has long been the object of everyone's admiration.

The camera then thoughtfully switched to Chen Yu's location.

The sound rang out again throughout the venue.

"My husband, Chen Yu."

WOW!

The atmosphere became even more heated as Liu Yifei mentioned Chen Yu's name.

"Thank you."

"You have always supported and accompanied me."

"You are not only my life partner, but also my guiding light in my career."

"Every time I encounter difficulties, feel lost, or struggle, you provide me with the strongest support."

Liu Yifei was clearly unable to control her emotions.

Her voice was trembling with sobs.

For her, Chen Yu was a safe haven where she could rest in peace.

No matter what troubles arise, he always helps Liu Yifei solve her problems immediately.

"It's you--"

"It showed me the most beautiful moment of my life."

"This honor is shared by both of us!"

Chen Yu gave a thumbs up. The girl who had been by his side since she was a minor had finally grown up.

Over the past year, Chen Yu has witnessed her growth.

She already had her own insights when dealing with matters big and small.

Liu Yifei bowed deeply to the audience.

For her, receiving recognition from one of the three major European film festivals was undoubtedly the best gift she could receive at the start of 2009.

He tried hard to suppress his emotions.

Even with tears in her eyes, her voice trembled slightly.

Yet she still maintained her elegance.

The media captured this scene, and it must be said that compared to wailing and crying, the restraint of this beautiful woman's tears was more moving.

Liu Yifei returned to her seat.

The cast and crew of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" applauded again.

They seemed to have already foreseen the ensuing hype.

The presence of a Berlin Film Festival Best Actress winner will undoubtedly elevate "Black Coal, Thin Ice" to even greater heights. "It's truly an exciting moment."

“I admire Crystal, this oriental beauty, who possesses a classical charm that our local actors lack.”

A voice came from the stage.

Everyone looked up.

Only then did they notice that Wim Wenders was already on the podium.

This famous German director.

He is absolutely a world-class film master.

His famous works, such as "Wings of Desire," "Paris, Texas," and "Kings of the Road," were popular with the public almost immediately upon their release.

Clearly, he will be presenting a major award next.

This has given everyone something to look forward to.

Ni Jingyang handed the trophy back to Liu Yifei.

His eyes were full of envy.

At this moment, Liu Yifei's attention was no longer on the trophy.

Yes!

After the Best Actress award, the Best Actor award will be announced.

She was beginning to feel a faint sense of anticipation.

Chen Yu will definitely win this award, right?
Wim Wenders' appearance instantly ignited the atmosphere.

"As a director, the soul of a film is often infused by the actors."

"I have witnessed many great performances."

"They often merge their own soul with the role."

As Wim Wenders spoke, his gaze fell on where Chen Yu was.

His eyes were full of approval.

This scene made all the audience members realize that something was amiss.

"Now."

"We will award the Silver Bear for Best Actor to one actor."

The entire stadium erupted in cheers.

Everyone has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

They were quite eager to see if Chen Yu would continue the legend.

Wim Wenders paused briefly, then opened the award letter in his hand and glanced at the name on the envelope.

A look of understanding flashed across his face.

"As I said, only by uniting the soul with the character can we create a work full of surprises for everyone."

The audience fell silent.

They are eager to know the final result.

The winner of the Best Actor award at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival is—

Chen Yu sat quietly in place.

His facial expression remained normal.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei was already quite restless.

"Thin Ice!"

"Chan!!!"

Ooh ooh ooh~~
The entire cinema erupted in cheers, with applause nearly lifting the venue off its feet.

It's what everyone wants!
It's so hot it's burning!

Now he has won the Best Actor award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Even though they had already been eyeing the award for a while, they were still full of anticipation.

That's right.

Chen Yu winning the award was entirely expected.

His talent has long since won over everyone, whether it's the kung fu superstar in "Bruce Lee" or the Joker in "The Dark Knight".

Chen Yu has already surpassed all other characters.

Not only that.

This couple is absolutely phenomenal; they both won Best Actor and Best Actress awards at the Berlin Film Festival.

It was a scene unlike anything ever seen before.

"Brother Yu, congratulations on winning Best Actor again!"

Diao Yinan jumped up first and grabbed Chen Yu's hand tightly.

He couldn't explain how he felt at that moment.

The work "Black Coal, Thin Ice" carried his hopes, and by this time, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had clearly crowned him.

Congratulations, Chan.

"You may now come up on stage to receive your honor."

Liu Yifei straightened Chen Yu's suit, and the flashbulbs behind them were mercilessly focused on the two of them.

How popular will tomorrow's headlines and trending topics be?

It's important to know that it's extremely rare for Chinese actors to win both Best Actor and Best Actress awards at the three major film festivals; they tend to favor outstanding domestic actors.

especially.

This year's Berlin Film Festival only had this one Chinese film selected for the competition.

Winning awards together is enough to prove that their abilities are beyond doubt.

Of course, the male and female leads of "So Long, My Son" will also be awarded titles in the future, which is called a joint achievement, and there are precedents for this in history.

"Chan!"

"Brother Yu is awesome, you are the pride of China."

Sina.com's media reporters were already bursting with excitement.

I can't wait to announce this news to the world right now.

This was a resounding victory.

Chinese cinema was once completely marginalized.

For a long time, there was no way to break the ice.

As for now.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei broke this situation.

The efforts of the two individuals undoubtedly ignited the interest of all the Chinese-language media present.

The audience erupted in extremely enthusiastic and prolonged applause, which was also mixed with the astonishment of filmmakers from various countries.

Envious glances were everywhere.

Everyone simply couldn't suppress this emotion.

Chen Yu was simply a king.

The other finalists and some others were somewhat disappointed, but losing to Chen Yu didn't affect them much.

They had no choice but to admire them.

Chen Yu had already arrived on the stage.

The flashlight shone on his location, as if gilding him with a layer of gold.

To know.

Winning the highest honors for both of them is undoubtedly a double recognition from Europe.

This undoubtedly paved the way.

In the future, more and more Chinese filmmakers and films will be recognized by the international community.

Wim Wenders handed the trophy and certificate to Chen Yu.

Then he hugged the person in front of him.

"Hey! Chan."

"I knew you would win this award, and I am honored to present it to you. I hope we can work together someday if the opportunity arises."

If we don't reconnect now, when will we?

Normally, they would rarely have the opportunity to meet.

However, he had already witnessed Chen Yu's great reputation and strength.

Precisely.

Wim Wenders had long hoped to collaborate with Chen Yu.

Unfortunately, I never had the chance.

Wim Wenders' speech was met with laughter from the audience.

They had never seen an award presenter utter the word "honor," which subtly elevated Chen Yu's image.

"Thank you! I also look forward to working with you."

Chen Yu's response made Wim Wenders smile and nod.

"Then this stage is yours to take over."

"A two-time winner of the Berlin Film Festival's Best Actor award!"

Wim Wenders retreated to his backstage position.

His brief conversation with Chen Yu had put him in a very good mood.

Especially when Chen Yu mentioned that he also had the intention to cooperate with him, whether or not they could cooperate was another matter, but at least the other party had this idea.

Chen Yu raised the trophy in his hand.
