Coincidentally, at this moment, the camera in the venue was facing Shen Susu's face, and Shen Susu smiled confidently and generously at the camera.

In a place she didn't know, outside the award ceremony venue, outside a large shopping mall not far away, a huge display screen was broadcasting the award ceremony in real time. Shen Susu's smile suddenly appeared on the big screen where people were coming and going.

"Who is this girl? Is she a star from China? She looks so beautiful!"

"Don't you know her? She's the senior sister!"

Foreigners passing by were infected by this smile and couldn't help but stop to watch.

There were also Chinese people around. After hearing the foreigners' comments, they immediately showed proud expressions on their faces. Shen Susu was a female star in their country of China! She was also a high-quality idol! She was an internationally famous female star!

After the initial warm-up, the host of the Berlin Film Festival had already come on stage. Shen Susu had done her homework in advance and knew that the host of the Berlin Film Festival was different from the hosts of the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival.

The specific difference is that the other two film festivals speak the local language, while the Berlin Film Festival still speaks English.

Shen Susu was also worried that if the other party spoke German, she would be completely in the dark at the scene. She even wanted to buy some high-tech translation tool.

After being educated on the science, Shen Susu felt relieved.

She sat neither in the front nor in the back, and she saw many old acquaintances in the main venue. In addition to faces from her own country, there were also director Thomson's crew and director Colin.

After the host finished his opening remarks, he did something different from before. All the previous hosts were standing while hosting, but this time a row of sofas were placed on the stage.

"Host while sitting down?" Shen Susu's eyes were full of surprise.

Fu Huaijin seemed to have received the news in advance and said with a smile: "This may be considered some progress. After all, the host is also a human being. It is very tiring to stand in high heels all night."

Shen Susu nodded.

After a long opening speech, the award ceremony finally began. It was similar to those award ceremonies in China, with small awards at the front.

“The winner of Best Short Film is ‘That Summer’!”

Shen Susu finally saw the first award being announced. The person who went on stage to receive the award was a middle-aged white woman with brown curly hair, black-framed glasses, and looked to be in her thirties.

After the other party came on stage, he was so nervous that he was a little incoherent. It took him a long time to speak a sentence before he could finish it haltingly.

Shen Susu didn't think much about it. After all, in her opinion, although her performance in "My Story in the South of the City" was very good, her chances of winning the award should not be high.

After all, she is a new face in the international arena and has few film works in the past, so there is a high probability that she will not be given such an important award. She put herself in the shoes of the judges. She felt that since Lin Yingfang was nominated at the same time as herself, Lin Yingfang's chance of winning the award was higher than hers.

She was just there to join in the fun. When the star directors in the audience seats applauded, she followed suit, looking very relaxed.

After all, Shen Susu has everything she needs, so even if this is an extremely important international award, she can take it calmly.

But others were not as relaxed as she was.

As the award ceremony continued, the first major award has been presented: the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.

Shen Susu looked at the host who was talking on the stage and listened to him trying hard to introduce the winning works.

"The winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Film is: Once Upon a Time in South City."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Shen Susu only felt that the name of the movie seemed familiar. Fu Huaijin's reaction was faster than his wife's. He said to the director and screenwriter beside him: "We won the award! The Golden Bear Award!"

The director and screenwriter's English is actually not that good, but they always remember the English names of their movies.

Having finally won the prize, they were still in a state of illusion, always feeling as if they were dreaming.

Fu Huaijin was helpless and pushed the screenwriter next to him.

The screenwriter finally reacted and turned to look at his wife excitedly: "We won the award! We really won the award! This trip to Berlin is really worthwhile!"

As the couple talked, tears kept flowing down.

They wanted to invite other main creative members to go on stage to receive the award, but everyone else refused. As people in the same crew, everyone knew how much the couple had contributed to the film, so let's leave this glorious moment to them.

But Fu Huaijin was still forced onto the stage by them.

"Please help translate it!" said the screenwriter, rubbing his hands.

Fu Huaijin said helplessly: "Just speak our Chinese language directly on it, and when the program is broadcast, someone will help translate it."

The screenwriter hadn’t thought of this part. He looked embarrassed, but quickly said, “I still hope that the people at the scene can understand it.”

After the couple went on stage, perhaps because it was the first time they accepted such an important award, they still stuttered even when they took turns speaking, and they even couldn't control their tears.

"This work is our baby. We spent a lot of time, met with many people, and finally used a very special method to persuade someone to invest in the filming. To be able to achieve such a result today, the people I want to thank the most are Shen Susu and Fu Huaijin. It is their appreciation that made this work so brilliant today!"

After saying this, Fu Huaijin glanced at them and then, as if nothing had happened, he obediently served as the translator.

Originally, most people at the main venue didn't understand what was said. They only saw the directors and screenwriters on the stage in tears, but they were still infected by the atmosphere. After Fu Huaijin translated it, the scene suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

After Fu Huaijin finished his translation work and walked off the stage with the director and screenwriter, he leaned over to Shen Susu's ear and said, "After winning such a big award, you may not win any particularly important awards in the future."

Shen Susu nodded after listening to this, but didn't say much. To be honest, it was beyond her expectation that the movie could win this big award.

Fu Huaijin understood very well and said, "This kind of female-themed movies have always been favored by international film festivals."

The award ceremony was still going on, and coincidentally, Director Zhao also won an award, the Silver Bear Award for Best Director.

"It's okay, at least I won an award. At least I didn't go home empty-handed. An old hand like me was almost knocked down on the beach by a newcomer." Director Zhao joked with a smile.

Fu Huaijin said: "Director Zhao, you are too modest. Maybe the Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to you later."
