745 Well Deserved (1/2)

When the old woman gave her speech, Lin Feng's assistant keenly perceived that the name she was going to read out must have been a film actor that was not in an English or German film. The assistant held in her ecstasy and quietly poked Lin Feng, hinting for him to prepare himself for the camera and the stage.

Lin Feng was also overjoyed. Although he had prepared his awards speech beforehand, the chances of him using it were still very low. He had only prepared them just in case there was a need for it.

In the foreign language films participating in this Berlin Film Festival, there were only three to four foreign language films that were influential, including Dog Warrior. There was also another Chinese criminal investigation film that was shortlisted for the main competition segment. In that film, the male and female leads had more scenes.

Therefore, since it was a foreign language film that got the award, Lin Feng believed that the old woman was going to read out his name. His body involuntarily leaned forward, with the intention of standing up and waving to the surrounding crowd.

At the same time, Zhang Zian and Famous were both very calm. Because Feng Xuan missed the Best Director's Award, the only award left to compete for was the Best Film Golden Bear Award.

No one would have expected that the old woman, one of the founders of the Berlin Film Festival, would actually mention Famous's name!

Instantly, everything went quiet below the stage.

Most of the celebrities were in shock. It was easy to read from their lips that they were mumbling, ”unbelievable,” while the reporters were all so excited that their legs were shaking. They knew that they were witnessing history.

The camera accurately focused on Zhang Zian's and Famous's face and faithfully recorded down their shocked expressions.

In his pocket, a notification tone suddenly rang from his phone, but he had no time to look.

[Game Notification]: Congratulations! Your Reincarnated Dog has collected sufficient strength of faith. It has reached the level up requirement!

[Game Notification]: Your Reincarnated Dog is currently Elite/Epic level. After the level up, it will be Epic level.

[Game Notification]: Do you want to level up now? If you select ”No,” you can still level it up at your own convenience at a later time.

[Yes, No, or Remind me later]

The hostess had probably expected the situation to happen, so she said twice, ”May Famous and its dog trainer come up to the stage? The dog trainer shall receive the award on behalf of Famous.”

The audience members below the stage finally reacted. There was a mix of exclamations and applause, but there were more people who were furiously posting on various forms of social media. They wrote something along the lines of, ”A dog actually won the Berlin Film Festival's best male lead!”

Nie Yuan, Lin Feng, and the other members of the crew were all stunned. They would never have imagined the situation that was unfolding. Were they dreaming or were the Germans so crazy that they actually awarded a heavyweight class award to a dog?

Feng Xuan nudged Zhang Zian and motioned for him to go up the stage.

Feng Xuan's depressed mood was now taken over by surprise and relief––no matter what, winning an award was always good.

Zhang Zian didn't know how he got up on stage––his mind was muddled and he felt like he was stepping on cotton with every step he took. He followed behind Famous and walked mechanically up to the old woman's wheelchair.

The old lady smiled as she extended her arms to hug Zian. She whispered softly in his ear, ”You have a great dog.”

Her body was bony like dead wood and her weight was very light. When Zhang Zian hugged her, he did not dare use too much force, for fear that he might hurt her.

After the hug, the old woman bent over and lightly caressed Famous' head and said, ”You performed very well. These human actors should be ashamed of themselves.”

Following closely, she playfully winked at Zhang Zian. ”Go on and give your speech; I hope you've prepared for it.”

Zhang Zian's mind was blank as he stood before the podium facing the countless pairs of eyes from below the stage. Famous sat next to him.
