I would like to thank the jury for their recognition. This award means a lot to me. It is not only a recognition of me personally, but also the best reward for the hard work of our entire team.
I'd like to thank my actors for their brilliant performances, which brought this film to life. I'd also like to thank my producers, cinematographers, and everyone behind the scenes for their dedication, which allowed this film to be so perfectly presented. This award belongs to each and every one of us, and it's a shared honor!
Finally, I would like to thank my parents and teachers. Your unconditional love and support have become my greatest motivation to keep moving forward.
On my journey to pursue my dreams, every time I fall and face setbacks, your warm embrace and words of encouragement serve as the source of strength for me to stand up again.
In addition, I would like to thank my friends, colleagues and classmates who have always been by my side, supporting each other and growing together on the road of art. This deep friendship is my precious wealth.
Berlin is a wonderful city. I will come again next time. After all, I didn’t win the grand prize. Thank you everyone. "
After listening to Zhang Qiurui's acceptance speech, the audience burst into warm applause again.
Nowadays, foreign countries admire people with strength and ability.
Seeing that Zhang Qiurui was only sixteen years old and had won the Best Director Award at the Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, her talent and ability were evident. Many people were optimistic about Zhang Qiurui and were also very friendly to her.
Later, the Best Picture winners had a double yolk, with Sbergenwenaschut's "Palermo or Wolfsburg" and Michael Hausmann's "Heartland".
After the closing ceremony, many film producers and heads of major international companies flocked to Zhang Qiurui. Some of them came to Zhang Qiurui to discuss buying the overseas distribution rights of the movie "Love".
Some people also want to get to know Zhang Qiurui, leave their business cards and contact information, just to get to know him. Who knows if there will be an opportunity for cooperation in the future.
It was a sleepless night. Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai learned that the movie "Love" not only won the Best Director Award, but also won the Berlin Film Festival, and the overseas distribution rights suddenly skyrocketed in price.
During the dinner, the two of them went between major film producers and negotiated to sell the overseas rights to the movie "Love".
They only kept the distribution rights for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and the Mainland, and sold all the others in a package.
However, if the ending of the movie "Love" is not changed, it will not pass the mainland censorship and will definitely not be able to be released.
After the closing ceremony, they stayed in Berlin for another day and sold all the overseas distribution rights, totaling US$7.7 million.
The current exchange rate of US dollars to Hong Kong dollars is 1:5. If 7.7 million US dollars are converted into Hong Kong dollars, it will be nearly 40 million Hong Kong dollars. These days, the Hong Kong dollar is not as valuable as the RMB.
After the news that Zhang Qiurui won the Best Director Award at the Berlin Film Festival and produced a Berlin Film Queen spread back to China.
Many domestic leaders complained to the president and director of the directing department of the Yenching Film Academy, asking why they did not allow Zhang Qiurui to shoot movies in China and let her go to Hong Kong. Originally, this was their responsibility to bring glory to the country.
Today, this halo of glory has been worn on the heads of the Hong Kong film industry, making them feel unwilling and regretful.
Situ Zhaodun retorted, "It was Zhang Qiurui's study in Hong Kong that led to his current success. Besides, Hong Kong is a part of China. Zhang Qiurui's award brought honor to China."
After these words were spoken, some people who had been complaining began to reflect.
Indeed, although Hong Kong has its own unique culture and film industry, it is ultimately an inseparable part of China.
As a Chinese, Zhang Qiurui has achieved brilliant achievements in the Hong Kong film industry, which not only brings glory to Hong Kong, but also brings pride to the entire Chinese film industry.
"Student Zhang Qiurui, I didn't expect you to give the teacher such a big surprise. I have to clean up this mess you made." Situ Zhaodun complained with a proud and happy smile on his face.
When I met Zhang Qiurui last year, she told me that she had shot a movie in Hong Kong and was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival. Unexpectedly, this time she not only won the Best Director Award, but also produced a Berlin Film Queen.
It is obvious that the film shot by Zhang Qiurui this time has made significant progress compared to the one at the Cannes Film Festival, as evidenced by the fact that she won the Berlin Film Queen Award.

"Mr. Jiang, please settle the copyright share of the movie "Love" and remit it to our company as soon as possible.
I'm still waiting for this money to make big investments in filming and recruiting talented people." Zhang Qiurui said to a smiling Jiang Zhiqiang on the plane.
"Okay, after returning to Hong Kong, I will arrange for the financial handling as soon as possible and transfer the money to your company account." Jiang Zhiqiang agreed with a smile.
With an investment of only HK$200,000, he was able to earn nearly HK$10 million. This money was so easy to make that he was very happy.
After all, in the film industry, such a rate of return is rare, enough to make any investor jealous.
No wonder Zhang Qiurui asked them to keep the amount of money the overseas copyrights were sold for a secret and not tell anyone.
If the gray forces in Hong Kong really knew that making a movie could bring in astonishing profits, many people in the gray forces would point at Zhang Qiurui's head and force her to make a movie.
Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai looked at each other. They were more concerned about Zhang Qiurui's safety. They must protect Zhang Qiurui and even keep her in Hong Kong.
