director of the millennium

[Berlin Film Festival closed, Chinese films won the Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director awards at the same time! ]

[The 69th Berlin Film Festival closed, and "So Long, My Son" lived up to expectations and won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director! ]

[Not alone in receiving the award! Liu Yifei won the Best Actress Award at the Berlin Film Festival and announced the good news of her pregnancy! ]

[On the evening of February 2th, Berlin time, Liu Yifei announced her pregnancy at the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival! ]

[Pregnant! Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei announced the good news, the woman is already four months pregnant! ]

[Double happiness! The newly crowned Berlin Film Queen announced she is pregnant at the award ceremony! ]

Wu Yuan, who had just landed at Beijing International Airport, turned on the mobile data on his phone, and immediately the screen was filled with pop-up windows from major apps.

Sure enough, it was this news.

Wu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then put his phone in front of Liu Yifei's eyes and shook it: "Look, all the domestic media are reporting on this matter now."

Liu Yifei lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, without any trace of the high-spirited look she had when she received the award.

"I was just so happy that I couldn't help myself for a moment."

Yes, at the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, Liu Yifei couldn't help but announce her pregnancy at the end of her acceptance speech.

Although when she was on the stage, she only hinted very tactfully that she was not the only one receiving the award.

But after the award ceremony there is an interview session with media reporters!

The media at the scene were shrewd and understood the meaning of her words. They immediately asked Liu Yifei how many months pregnant she was.

Yes, they didn’t even ask whether she was pregnant or not, they just assumed that Liu Yifei was pregnant.

Faced with this situation, she could no longer be vague, so she simply announced the news of her pregnancy in the festive atmosphere of winning the award.

Her "stage frenzy" disrupted the couple's original plan to announce the news in six months.

Now, Liu Yifei winning the Berlin Film Festival Award was already a big enough sensation. After all, unlike Yongmei, she is not an artistic actor who only pursues the artistic route. She is a top 85 flower, and her every move is already highly watched.

The fact that she won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award alone was enough to dominate the domestic internet's top trending searches for three or four days.

Then she revealed that she was pregnant. This is not as simple as 1+1=2!

Wu Yuan, who could have said that he had nothing to do with Liu Yifei's award, now has to join the trending searches on Weibo. After all, he is the child's father!
To see how popular this news was, just look at the pop-up window on Wu Yuan’s phone.

It is already early morning of the 19th in Beijing time, and they are still ranking first on Weibo's hot search list!
"I guess when we walk out of the airport, we might be surrounded by crazy media."

Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei, who didn't dare to leave the airport at all, looked at the crew of "So Long, My Son" who were on the same flight and left the airport gate before them with melancholy on their faces.

The trip to Berlin for the crew of "So Long, My Son" was perfect.

To Wu Yuan’s surprise, although "So Long, My Son" missed the Best Actress Award, it finally won the Best Director Award!

This was truly a pleasant surprise, but it was also a reasonable result.

After all, the reviews for So Long, My Son were very good, and it was also a hot favorite to win the Golden Bear Award.

In the original time and space, this movie won the Best Actor/Best Actress awards in one fell swoop, becoming the third time that actors from the same movie won Best Actor and Best Actress. Naturally, it was impossible for them to win other awards.

But in this time and space, because of the appearance of "Cai Wenji", the Best Actress award was given to Liu Yifei. This is not necessarily a bad thing for the crew of "So Long, My Son", because this way they will have the opportunity to compete for the Best Director and Jury Awards.

The jury was indeed very optimistic about this film and ultimately gave it the Best Director Award, which made Wang Xiaoshuai very happy.

To be honest, from a director's perspective, Best Director is definitely more important than Best Actress!
If the winner of the Best Actress Award was not Liu Yifei, Wu Yuan would be willing to exchange this award for the Best Director Award!

However, "So Long, My Son" is just an art film after all, and the public awareness of the leading actors and director Wang Xiaoshuai is very limited. So although "So Long, My Son" won more awards, it cannot compare with "Cai Wenji" in terms of media coverage.

To be precise, they cannot be compared with the couple Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan.

Because "Cai Wenji" is also a pure biographical film, and it is also not a film that the public is very interested in.

It's simply because Liu Yifei herself is very famous. She is one of the top actresses in the circle, so no matter what she does, she will be chased and reported by the media. The public is also very concerned about her, to the extent that even a random Weibo post sharing a photo can become a hot topic.

Even Zhang Yimou, the director of Cai Wenji, only mentioned Liu Yifei briefly in the overwhelming reports about her winning the award.
This is the characteristic of this era of traffic.

Not to mention that Liu Yifei announced her pregnancy news in Berlin, which made her the focus of attention of the entire domestic entertainment industry.

Now the public opinion about Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei on the Chinese Internet has completely exploded. Whether it is Weibo or Douyin, as long as there are videos or blog posts mentioning the two of them, the number of likes and comments are far ahead.

All media outlets were crazy about interviewing them and were eager to do more than a dozen reports on them, publishing one every day without interruption, not afraid that the public would lose interest at all.

But Wu Yuan was not interested in this at all, not to mention that Liu Yifei was pregnant and needed to rest, so it was not suitable for her to do too intensive work.

He was afraid that there were too many people at the airport and there would be a crowding accident, which would hurt Liu Yifei. That would be the end of him.

So after the two of them landed at Beijing International Airport, they didn't dare to leave the terminal at all. They could only watch the crew of "So Long, My Son" leave first, and then personally saw off the other members of the "Cai Wenji" crew.

"There are at least one or two thousand people outside who are here for us."

Wu Yuan had a bitter face as he and Liu Yifei hid in the VIP lounge of the airport, waiting for their assistant to help contact the person in charge at the airport.

For such a large airport, of course there is no way to leave only through the pick-up gate.

Wu Yuan's assistant has already gone to help contact the staff inside the airport to take the car sent by Light and Shadow Times to pick up the plane directly from the parking lot where employees enter and exit to the runway. The two of them can leave the airport directly from the runway through the internal parking lot.

This is a passage exclusively for airport staff, ground crew, pilots and others. Even the most popular stars cannot use it because they are not insiders.

There is nothing that can be done now. The airport does not dare to let the two of them face the one or two thousand fanatical media and fans.

After a while, a flight attendant pushed open the door of the lounge and looked at the two stars with curiosity.

"Director Wu, the car to pick you up is here, please follow me." (End of this chapter)
