Daddy Academy

Chapter 2781 Father and Daughter on the Same Stage
The Adventure Unit also has Best Film and Best Director awards. After the awards ceremony for the entire unit is over, the main competition unit begins.

"Godfather, you can do it, don't be nervous."

Xier comforted Zhang Tan lovingly.

Seeing this, Liuliu immediately followed suit: "It's amazing that you were nominated. You proved yourself, and I proved myself too."

While praising his boss, he also did not forget to praise himself as the leading actor.

Zhang Tan understood: "We all have a bright future."

Dudu said, "If it doesn't work this time, try again next time. Don't give up."

Zhang sighed and said, "Thank you, Dudu, but if it's OK this time, why wait until next time? What do you think?"

Dudu nodded and said, "Failure is the mother of success."

Forget it, I won’t say any more to you. Zhang Tan waited quietly for the award results.

It is impossible to say that he is not nervous. After all, he is here and nominated, so he always has expectations. Just like he said just now, if he can win the award this time, why wait until next time.

The first award to be announced was the Best Supporting Actor award. The winner was not present at the event but was far away in Argentina.

He delivered his acceptance speech via video.

The other party was a 14-year-old boy who was preparing for an exam.

Zhang sighed and said, "Liuliu, I hope you can win the Best Supporting Actor Award in the future."

"No, I want to win the Best Actor Award." Liuliu said firmly.

It's not easy to win the Best Actor award. It's rare that the protagonist is a child, unless Liuliu grows up.

"In the future, I will ask you to make a movie and let you win an award." Xiaobai interrupted.

Liuliu was a little caught off guard by this sudden show of goodwill, and subconsciously said, "Didn't you just say that you didn't want to film with me anymore?"

"Well, I'm not looking for it anymore."

Xiaobai really won’t look for it this time.

Next was the announcement of the Best Actor, followed by the Jury Award.

The film that won the Jury Prize was "Empire".

Zhang Tan felt both disappointed and more expectant.

Next was the Best Director award. Zhang Tan stared at the big screen, waiting for the result.

"Nelson Arias, 'Pepe.'" the award presenter announced.

Zhang Tan was a little disappointed, and suddenly he felt a small hand crawling into his palm. He looked down and saw it was Xiaobai.

"The next winner will be you, old man." Xiaobai comforted.

"Haha, really?"

Zhang Tan heard the host was inviting the next award presenter.

The next grand prize is the Grand Jury Prize!
It has one more word than the previous award and is of a higher level. It is the second highest award at the Berlin Film Festival. Above it is the Best Film, or the Golden Bear Award.

Zhang Tan was feeling very nervous. He hoped to win this grand prize, but he also hoped to win the next ultimate grand prize.

"The winner of the Grand Jury Prize is "Our Summer", directed by Zhang Tan."

As the award presenter announced the results, Zhang Tan's heart was finally at ease. Although it was not the highest award, winning the Jury Grand Prize was already beyond his expectations.

He came here originally just to sell movies.

Zhang Tan stood up, waved to everyone, accepted their congratulations, and brought Xiaobai and Liuliu to the podium.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!"

Zhang Tan held the Silver Bear Award and gave his acceptance speech.

"I would like to thank the organizing committee for giving me this award. There are many people I want to thank, but the ones I want to thank the most are the two young actors around me. Their outstanding performances have made my dream come true. They have always been the source of inspiration for this movie."

The applause at the scene became obviously louder. Xiaobai and Liuliu also applauded and cheered for themselves.

Xier, Dudu and others below clapped their hands so enthusiastically that their palms turned red.

As usual, Zhang Tan thanked everyone, and then gave Xiaobai and Liuliu a chance to speak.

Xiao Bai looked up at her old man before she said on this international stage: "When I first met my old man - my father, what I saw most was him sitting in front of the computer in the study, typing away on the keyboard. I always asked him what he was doing, and he told me he was writing stories. Wow, writing stories? How amazing is a father who can write stories? I would ask him to tell me the story first... I grew up listening to my father's stories, and in the future I also want to be a director who weaves dreams and tells stories."

Some people stood up and applauded them.

Zhang Tan touched Xiaobai's head with satisfaction. He really wanted to ask the little guy when he came up with these words or whether he came up with them on the spur of the moment.

The microphone fell into Liuliu's hands. Liuliu scratched her head. Xiaobai had caught her off guard. He spoke so emotionally and so many people applauded her that it was difficult for her to speak. No matter what she said, she would easily be outdone.

So she just flattered him.

"Boss Zhang is the most amazing director I have ever met, and Director Xiao Bai is the most amazing junior director I have ever met. They are both great. The best director is paired with the best actors. We all have a bright future. Come on, come on!"

Although it is embarrassing to flatter someone, who cares! Is face more important or substance more important?! She needs to plan for the future.

Zhang Tan took Xiaobai and Liuliu off the stage and returned to their seats.

The Silver Bear Award was already in Xiaobai's hands. She touched it left and right, and said with a smile: "Mine is gold, and my husband's is silver. Whose is better?"

"Yours is more powerful. Gold is more valuable than silver." Xier said without hesitation.

Dudu got the hang of it, holding the Silver Bear in his left hand and the Golden Bear in his right hand. After feeling them, he said that the Golden Bear was obviously heavier, so Xiaobai was more powerful.

The award ceremony came to an end, and Zhang Tan and others were immediately surrounded by reporters, requesting various interviews.

Moreover, most of these people hope that Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai can be interviewed together, preferably with the Golden Bear Award and Silver Bear Award.

"Let's take a photo together." someone suggested.

So Zhang Tan and Xiaobai stood together. Zhang Tan squatted down and put his arm around Xiaobai's shoulders. He held the Silver Bear Award in his hand, and Xiaobai held the Golden Bear Award in his hand.

The father and daughter looked at the camera with a smile and let everyone take pictures.

The shutter sounds rang out and the spotlights flashed continuously.

This is a night of honor that belongs exclusively to Xiao Zhang and his daughter.

It is a great blessing in life for father and daughter to win awards on the same stage.

Jeffrey and others also came to congratulate. Lucy and others from the organizing committee showed up and congratulated Zhang Tan and Xiaobai. They had flown to Pujiang to shoot the nominated short films for Xiaobai and others, which made them feel honored.

The award ceremony ended at nine o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Tan and others were not able to leave until nearly ten o'clock.

When they returned to the hotel, Tan Jiner and others were already waiting there. Even the hotel was decorated and looked festive, with congratulatory slogans in both Chinese and English displayed on a large screen.

Xier chattered excitedly, telling her sister about the grand occasion of the award ceremony.

Tan Jiner watched the entire thing through live broadcast, but still listened to Xier's story with great interest.

The children called their families back home to share their joy.

Xiaobai asked Old Man Zhang for his cell phone so that he could quickly tell his closest relatives the news of winning the award.

Zhang Tan thought she would be the first one to make a video call to her grandmother, but she wasn't.

The first person she made a video call to was Dunzi.

Xiaobai was shouting almost the entire time he was on the phone, his excitement difficult to control.

Dunzi on the other end of the phone also responded with a shout.

It was 11 o'clock in the evening in Berlin, and it was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon in Baijia Village, Sichuan. The elementary school was over, and the one walking home with Dunzi was Bai Guagua.

Then, Bai Guagua also joined the team shouting at Xiaobai, and the team continued to grow. On the way back to Baijia Village, Bai Feng and others were there. Everyone gathered together, and more and more people gathered.

As soon as the sun went down, the whole Baijia Village knew the news that Xiaobai and her husband had won a big prize abroad. The news spread everywhere, and it was hard not to become popular.

PS: It’s the end of the month, and I’m sending you a message to ask for monthly tickets.
