Chapter 16 Berlin
When he walked out of the office building, Zhang Yang felt that the tide of the times was coming. 85 flowers were about to enter the stage of the times. When he walked out of the campus, he felt that the campus was becoming more and more unfamiliar.There will be fewer people coming to school from now on.

The first wish I had for my birthday came true, and I was reminded passively, "Sorry, the past is so empty!"

When I returned to my door, I saw a group of people at the door, Huang Xiaoming, Yan Danchen, Chen Kun, Xu Huanhuan, Yuan Quan, Xia Yu, Liu Ye, Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Zu Feng, Qin Hailu, Guo Xiaodong, and Zhang Tong.

Zhang Yang felt his eyes were red. Humans were indeed emotional creatures. After feeling a little depressed in the morning, he felt much happier now.

After calming down, Zhang Yang walked up to them and said, "Hey, everyone came here today!"

Huang Xiaoming is always so fast. "Today is our director Zhang Da's 18th birthday! I don't want to celebrate it with you. I have to rely on you to take care of me in the future!"

"Fuck you, let's go in and have some fun,"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel very happy when he brought them home and looked at the small gifts they were holding. When he came to school for the art exam, Zhang Yang seemed to have closed himself off. In the past few years, he had been living in the aura of genius. After a long time, I forgot that I was just a mortal.

No matter how much you know, sometimes it only adds to your troubles.

A large table of food was ordered at noon. Zhang Yang made an exception today and drank a lot. He also let them smoke as they pleased. They had been out of school for a year, and now they felt particularly stressed. If the private sector qualifications were opened, their salary would be as high as When the wind blows, it becomes even more disgusting to face.

Then he started to plan the future for his friends while drunk. He talked a lot, so much that everyone felt that Zhang Yang was not normal today.

This made them feel that Zhang Yang was also an ordinary person. Zhang Yang had been too dazzling since he entered school.Now he really looks like a human being, not like a god.

In the blink of an eye, 2002 came. At the end of January, the qualifications for private film and television production were opened.Zhang Yang’s Ocean Film and Television Studio is also on the right track.Stop hanging around Qingying Factory.

But there are more things to face, more competition, but it doesn't have any impact on Zhang Yang. After all, he makes literary films.

Sometimes Zhang Yang wonders if those coal bosses who have had more than two years of experience will vote for me. Thinking about how tough those people are, he still shrinks back.

It was also at the end of January that the list of main competition units of the Berlin Film Festival was announced, and Zhang Yang's "Under the Peony" was, not surprisingly, shortlisted.This time I brought Chen Kun, Yan Danchen, and Senior Sister Xu with me. Yang Neo was too young, which was troublesome.

In February, a few people came to Berlin. A lot of people from Chinese movies came this time, and they were all here to sell their films. Big Shots directed by Feng Pants, Happy Days directed by Lao Mouzi, Huayan directed by Li Xin, and Hua Yan directed by Xu Anhua Men are forty.

The big shot is a bit pathetic, I feel like Huayi doesn’t have a long memory!The King of Kung Fu a few years later was also like this, taking care of Western audiences, but ended up feeling weird to everyone, and it didn't have the artistic conception of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The only one shortlisted for the main competition was Zhang Yang's "Under the Peony Flowers". When the screening started, Lao Mouzi, Feng Pants, Li Xing and Xu Anhua all came over to see it in a dignified manner.

After all, if Zhang Yang succeeds again, he will be the first director in the new century to win three gold medals in the world, and the third in history. The other two are as old as Zhang Yang.

After watching it, several people spoke politely.I don’t know what I’m thinking.

On February 16th, Zhang Yang received a call again in the evening. On the evening of February 17th, he officially attended the closing ceremony. By this time, Lao Mouzi and the others had already gone back.

During the awards ceremony of the 52nd Berlin International Film Festival, many reporters came backstage.They are all paying attention to the winner of the best picture, and they are also paying attention to Zhang Yang. During this period, there have been a lot of comments about Under the Peony, and they love to say how stunning and breakthrough the black tone of this movie is.

Those who don’t like to say that Zhang Yang has exhausted his talents, or that he is too young and lacks the necessary experience.I couldn't write a script that suited Berlin, so I had to remake it.

Amidst all the commotion, the awards ceremony officially began, and soon it was time to award the Best Director award.

The winner of the Best Director Award is
Zhang Yang under the peonies
Zhang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that even if it spans more than ten years, he can't be much ahead?
Zhang Yang stepped onto the podium and the silver bear and the certificate car rolled around.

After saying that, he returned to his seat. This time, he was seated very far forward in the third row. He looked at Yan Danchen and the three of them looking at him, but their eyes were a bit strange.

"Why are you looking at me like that? After all, you got a silver bear."

Several people didn't know what to say.Maybe my previous resume was too brilliant.When everyone saw Zhang Yang not winning the Golden Bear, they thought it was a failure.After the award ceremony, Zhang Yang was blocked as expected.

Various interviews have begun
Le Monde: "Zhang Yang, what do you want to say about this defeat by Berlin?"

Zhang Yang: "I'm not defeated. I won the Best Director Award, which is considered a gain."

BBC: "Zhang Yang, why do you always shoot American stuff? Is it because you admire America?"

Zhang Yang: "No, I just shot it after seeing the movie and being interested in it. I didn't think too much about it."

Daily Telegraph: "Director Zhang Yang, will you come to Berlin again after this time?"

Zhang Yang: "I should be able to, it depends on the situation!"

Le Parisien: "Director Zhang Yang, have you recently only focused on what you haven't got? Cannes and Venice you have got, haven't you stopped thinking about it?"

Zhang Yang: "I didn't think too much about it. Cannes is the most inclusive in the world, and Venice is the world's first film festival. Each has its own style! I also want to thank them for their recognition of me."

"Okay, that's it for today. You guys should go back and rest early!"

This can be considered a breaking point today, and as a reporter, I can take a break.

Once again, Yan Danchen and the others were asked to leave first, while Zhang Yang stayed behind to continue wrangling with the theater businessmen and the others.

In North America, Disney still chose Disney, and they gave it a lot of US$1000 million because it was a remake of an American movie.

Europe has been waffling for a long time.Zhang Yang wanted to choose Gaumont, but in the end MK2 was raised to be the same as Gaumont, at US$500 million.Perhaps because it was a remake of American Dad, Japan and South Korea each gave another 100 million, for a total of 1700 million U.S. dollars, the lowest price among Zhang Yang's three films.

After talking about the matter, Zhang Yang returned to China. He adjusted and rested at home. After thinking about it, he put the silver bear in his backpack and took it to school. When he arrived at the school gate, he didn't see the familiar rainbow gate. Instead, he saw a banner.
"Warm congratulations to Zhang Yang, a student from grade 96 of our school, for winning the Berlin Film Best Director Award"

The school finally looked familiar. Zhang Yang went directly to the principal's office, and then followed a familiar process.

"How do you feel about coming back this time?"

"It's nothing! I'm only eighteen. While others are standing like Luo Luo, I'm almost at the top now."

"Haha, you are saying the same thing. What are your plans next?"

"Take a break and continue filming!"

Zhang Yang then said goodbye and went home without saying a few words.

Principal Zhang stood by the window and looked at Zhang Yang's leaving figure. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"This kid. He said it had no impact."

　Meng Xin begs to read, collect and recommend.Thanks
