Wang Jiawei stood on the awards stage, his gaze, hidden behind sunglasses, sweeping across the entire audience.

Cheers and applause erupted, a testament to everyone's respect and admiration for a veteran international director.

now.

Wang Jiawei lowered his head slightly, looking at the award letter in his hand.

Without any hesitation, he pulled out the envelope with a smooth and effortless motion.

His gaze fell on the envelope, and he seemed to understand.

This led to speculation.

Who will be the winner of this grand prize?

"Tonight's winner."

“We can’t see any trace of acting in him at all.”

"He elevated the value of performance to the level of life experience, allowing us to witness the deepest affection in family."

As soon as these words came out.

A small murmur of discussion broke out in the audience.

Clearly, this statement already had a hidden meaning.

Zhu Yanmanzi looked at Chen Jin beside her, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.

"I declare."

The Best Actor award at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival was presented.

""The Chinese Family", jin chan!"

"Grandma's Grandson," by Chen Jin!

Wang Jiawei emphasized it again in Chinese.

Ahhhhh!
In an instant, thunderous applause erupted.

this moment.

All eyes were on Chen Jin's location.

Everyone has seen "Grandma's Grandson," and one has to admire this young man from the East.

His acting skills have never been superficial.

Instead, he crushes the character's soul and reshapes it into his own flesh and blood.

"Brother Jin, you won the Best Actor award!"

"Grandma's Grandson has won a major award."

Compared to Chen Jin, the main character, Wen Muye was even more excited.

I couldn't control my emotions at all.

Everyone present expressed their gratitude.

Several nearby film crews gave Chen Jin a thumbs up.

This talented actor shines like a bright pearl in Berlin.

Chen Jin stood up at that moment.

As for the crew of "Grandma's Grandson", everyone jumped up and down on their chairs.

Even Wu Yanshu had a bright smile on her face.

"I knew our Brother Jin would do it!"

"Go for it, Brother Jin! Go and win that Best Actor trophy that's rightfully yours!"

Wang Jingchun shouted loudly.

Having spent several months with Chen Jin, he was genuinely happy for her.

They embraced tightly together, feeling a sense of pride and honor.

"Grandma's Grandson" has captured the world's attention!
Wang Jiawei's lips curved slightly upward. At this moment, he stood on the stage not only as the president of the jury of the Berlin International Film Festival, but also as a representative of China.

It is naturally an honor to see works from one's own country win awards.

Chen Jin walked towards the awards stage.

At this moment, all eyes were on him, as if he were crowned with a suit of hard armor.

It was accompanied by applause and joy.

As Chen Jin stood on the awards stage, Wang Jiawei, who was standing beside her, handed her the trophy and certificate.

"Chen Jin, congratulations!"

"This is your moment of glory."

"Thank you, Director Jiawei!"

Wang Jiawei reached out and patted Chen Jin on the shoulder.

He had witnessed this young man's rise to prominence firsthand.

With such courage, wisdom, and drive, there's no need to worry about the future of Chinese-language cinema.

Wang Jiawei has now returned to his position as chairman of the jury.

Only Chen Jin remained on the stage.

Holding the Silver Bear trophy, the thrill of joy made him unconsciously clear his throat.

"grateful."

"Thank you to the jury and the Berlin Film Festival for bestowing upon me this unparalleled honor."

"I want to share this honor with my maternal grandmother, Ms. Wu Yanshu!"

Wu Yanshu never expected that Chen Jin would mention her name on the international stage.

The camera thoughtfully focused on Wu Yanshu's location.

His kind and gentle smile made the applause in the audience grow louder and louder.

"It was she who taught me what silent love is."

"I would also like to thank my director and every main actor in the crew."

"It is because of your existence that 'Grandma's Grandson' has the opportunity to shine brightly this winter."

"I also want to thank my parents, my family, especially my grandmother and maternal grandmother, because it was they who made me have a deeper understanding of the character Ah Jin!"

"..."

Applause resounded throughout the cinema.

"at last--"

"I want to express my special gratitude to one person."

Chen Jin's gaze fell on the figures in the venue, and their eyes seemed to meet for a moment.

Zhu Yanmanzi's fingertips were tightly intertwined.

He was filled with anticipation yet also a little apprehensive about what Chen Jin was about to say.

Although their relationship was already an open secret.

"Thank you for her countless days and nights of companionship, and thank you for the courage she gave me."

boom--

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The information that media reporters had tried so hard to obtain was now confirmed by the person himself.

"WOW!"

"Oh! Does this count as an official announcement?"

"handsome!"

Foreigners are incredibly enthusiastic about this kind of thing; they're more eager to join in the fun than anyone else.

After hearing Chen Jin's words, Zhu Yanmanz's eyes reddened slightly.

Putting everything else aside, this feeling of being recognized is more exciting than anything else.

now.

Chen Jin only had eyes for Zhu Yanmanzi.

The woman who stayed by his side and gave him strength was his complete source of inspiration.

"I hope that while watching 'Grandma's Grandson,' everyone can believe in family ties and cherish memories."

Go hug and spend time with your family!

"The last of the last."

"I want to bring this honor to my hometown and inspire all Chinese filmmakers: where there's a dream, there's a way!"

There was thunderous applause.

Chen Jin's words were like a thunderclap, allowing everyone to feel the emotions behind them.

Holding the trophy and certificate in his hands.

Chen Jin stepped down from the stage.

Waving your sleeves will not take away a single cloud.

When Wang Jingchun returned to his seat, he was already impatient.

"Brother Jin, congratulations!"

"Let me feel the weight of the Silver Bear Best Actor trophy."

Chen Jin was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she still handed the trophy to Wang Jingchun.

When she turned around again, she met Zhu Yanmanzi's slightly red eyes.

This little girl still cries a lot.

He reached out and patted Zhu Yanmanzi's head; this heartwarming scene was captured by the media reporters behind him.

The buzz from just now hasn't died down yet.

The performances on stage have now ended, and only three major awards remain.

Best Director, Jury Prize, Best Film.

Wen Muye scratched his head.

His gaze swept over the location where Chen Jin was.

Even though he was looking forward to these awards, he also knew his own limitations.

So much so.

Facing an award that seems so close yet so far, I felt like my heart was being scratched by a cat.

"Brother Wen, how are you feeling?"

As soon as Chen Jin said this, everyone's eyes turned to Wen Muye.

I'm happy for you.

Clearly, this wasn't the question Chen Jin wanted to ask.

"Do we still have a chance at the next awards?"

Wang Jingchun looked at the group of people present. At this moment, winning the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor award was already a glorious achievement. For them, it was an unexpected joy.

but--

Now that we're all here, everyone must have some expectations.

Tian Zhuangzhuang sat to the side without saying a word.

Even he couldn't say whether he would win the award.

The Best Director award is being presented on stage.

Wen Muye had a little hope, but in the end he was disappointed.

Prince of Avalanche

David Gordon Green.

The American director ultimately won the Best Director Hero Award.

In comparison, this film presents a more delicate and lifelike performance.

Especially the creation of emotional atmosphere and personal style.

It shares similarities with the Berlin Film Festival.

This is perhaps the real reason why David Gordon Green was able to win the award.

The acceptance speech was delivered on stage.

A moment later, it ended with a deafening round of applause.

It was getting late, but no one felt tired at all.

That's right.

The next two awards are arguably the most anticipated.

The crowd's emotions were ignited; they were eager to know who would win the prize.

Dieter Kosslick appeared on the awards stage.

The chairman of the Berlin Film Festival is known for his approachable nature.

He is now receiving his award card with his signature smile.

"Hey! Ladies and gentlemen!"

"As the chairman of the film festival, I feel honored at this time of year, but also a little reluctant to leave."

"This means our family gatherings are coming to an end."

"Before that, I will present a very special award, the Jury Grand Prize Silver Bear."

OMG!

The cheers on the field grew increasingly intense.

They have clearly been waiting for a long time and are now eager to know the result.

"Now."

"Please join me in giving a round of applause to the winners."

The winner of the Jury Prize at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival is—

The field fell silent for a moment.

They were afraid of missing out on this exciting news.

Zhu Yanmanz held Chen Jin's hand tightly, her heart filled with anticipation.

Wen Muye looked towards the stage.

Before the grand prize was announced, everyone was on tenterhooks.

""The Chinese Family"!"

A moment of silence.

"Yes!"

The next second, Wen Muye jumped up from his seat.

It felt as if my heart had been struck.

He slid to his knees, his face filled with unprecedented joy and excitement.

"We won an award!"

"This honor belongs to 'Grandma's Grandson'!"

With everyone on board, the entire creative team of "Grandma's Grandson" could no longer contain their elation.

Smiles and tears coexisted on her face.

They were no longer able to calm themselves down.

Everyone was celebrating for the film crew.

Whether it's genuine or not, at least at this moment everyone is cheering for him.

The entire cast of "Grandma's Crew" hugged each other.

Wen Muye was so excited that he burst into tears.

Before this, he felt that winning the Best Actor award was the highest honor for the film.

But now.

They won even more prestigious awards.

Chen Jin patted Wen Muye on the shoulder, naturally able to sense his feelings at that moment.

Just like when he won the first big prize.

Hey boy.

"You can go up on stage now to receive this honor that belongs to you."

Dieter Kosslick's voice came down from the stage, and looking at this lovely group of people, he couldn't help but laugh.

Wen Muye calmed himself down.

In fact, his heart was still trembling slightly at that moment.

"Let's go! Let's go together and claim the glory that belongs to us."

This award never belonged to him alone. He knew he wouldn't have achieved this without Chen Jin and Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Yongmei and Wang Jingchun helped Wu Yanshu up.

The entire cast and crew of "Grandma's Grandson" walked onto the awards stage.

The applause from the audience lasted for a long time.

Everyone is offering their congratulations in their own way.

The group stood on the stage, and Dieter Kosslick had already handed the trophy to Wen Muye.

Bang bang bang!
When Wen Muye received the trophy that symbolized honor, he felt his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

That bittersweet feeling resurfaced.

So much so that tears seemed about to well up in her eyes.

Chen Jin placed her hand on his shoulder, as if giving him courage.

"Thank you Berlin Film Festival, thank you jury."

"This trophy is heavy, and it means a lot to me."

"The Jury Prize is awarded to works that are bolder in their art, and I am very grateful to the Berlin Film Festival for recognizing my courage to explore."

Applause erupted from the audience once again.

The spotlight shone on the main creators of the TV series "Grandma's Grandson".

It was as if they were given a radiance.

At this moment.

Wang Jingchun and Yongmei looked at the dark mass of people below the stage, and they all appeared unusually reserved.

"This award today does not belong to me personally, but to the entire crew of 'Grandma's Grandson'."

"They gave this film its soul."

Wen Muye's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, as if he was forcibly suppressing his emotions.

"same--"

"I want to especially thank Brother Jin!"

The screams from the audience grew even louder as soon as Chen Jin's name was mentioned.

People clearly have different feelings towards this young man.

“When I was struggling with this film, he told me to protect my most direct feelings and that nothing else mattered.”

"I've kept those words in mind ever since."

"Similarly, it inspires me to maintain inner peace during every moment of confusion and uncertainty."

"Thank you for giving me such a wonderful story, and for bringing the character of Ah Jin to life with his performance!"

Chen Jin stood behind her.

Even he didn't know that he was so useful.

obviously.

Wen Muye attributed the success of this film entirely to Chen Jin.

After all, being shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival is undoubtedly thanks to Chen Jin and Zhang Yimou.

Amid cheers from the audience, the cast and crew of "Grandma's Grandson" finally received their highest honor.

He returned to his seat.

Their emotions, however, still could not be calmed.

To know.

The Berlin International Film Festival's Grand Jury Prize is selected by the entire jury through multiple rounds of voting, making it the most prestigious award.

This time, they received the highest recognition.

Wen Muye held the trophy in his hands, reluctant to put it down.

"Brother Wen, how did it feel this time?"

Faced with Chen Jin's question again, Wen Muye couldn't help but laugh.

"That was awesome! I'm so happy!"

"I feel like my life has been worthwhile!"
