Time flies, at the end of June.

A good news came from Berlin, and Zhang Yimou won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival!

When the news was passed back to China, countless filmmakers were amazed, joyful, and disbelief…

As mentioned above, the three major European film festivals are currently the largest film festivals in the world. Although the Academy Awards seem to be well-known, the Academy Awards are just an award, while the three major European film festivals are a film festival.

Film people from all over the world will bring their works to the film festival to participate in the exhibition. This is the case in Cannes last month, and this time the Berlin Film Festival is the same.

If the Oscar is a carnival for Hollywood movies in the United States, then the three major European film festivals are carnivals for movies from all over the world.

At the 38th Berlin International Film Festival, there were filmmakers and film companies from 73 countries coming. Whether they were signing up for the competition or wanting to buy the copyright of the movie they were interested in at the film show, it helped to bring it back to their country for screening. This has contributed to the popularity of the Berlin Film Festival in the world.

When the nomination list was announced, Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" was successfully selected. Everyone, including Zhang Yimou himself, only believed that the nomination was to accompany him. After all, the film shortlisted for the Golden Bear Awards this year was too strong.

But when the award presenter took the stage and read out the winner of this year's Best Picture Golden Bear Award, Zhang Yimou, a Chinese director who directed "Red Sorghum", the audience was in an uproar!

No one can believe that the winner of the Golden Bear Award is actually an unknown Chinese director!

Zhang Yimou, wearing a suit, walked onto the stage excitedly. After taking over the trophy, his excited and excited laughing expression was captured by Li Yange, and it also became the cover photo later published in domestic newspapers.

"Thank you, thank you very much for the jury for being able to award this award to me. I am extremely excited at this moment. In addition to thanking the jury of the Berlin Film Festival, I also have to thank the crew members for their persistence. In the hot summer heat, I have to work hard to shoot over and over again. Especially I have to thank Mr. Li Yange. Without him, I think I would not have the opportunity to sign up for the Berlin Film Festival, and at the same time I would not have the opportunity to win this award!"

Zhang Yimou did not understand English, so after speaking in Chinese, there was applause at the scene, but they were all polite. Except for a very small number of domestic filmmakers and reporters, almost no one understood what Zhang Yimou just said.

However, you can tell from the excited expression that it is nothing more than thanking the judges and thanking some people. After all, the award speech is usually the same routine.

Here, after receiving the award and stepping down, Zhang Yimou returned to his seat with excitement. Li Yange, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "Congratulations to Director Zhang, and finally got what he wanted!"

"Thank you, thank you! Yan Ge, I really thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I would have given up!"

Zhang Yimou looked at Li Yange with gratitude. He was really grateful to the other party. If Li Yange had not invested in giving him the opportunity to bring a few main creative staff to Berlin, this grand prize would have passed by.

"This is why the quality of the films you filmed by Director Zhang is excellent, so the Berlin jury will award this award to you."
