Chapter 84 The Troubled Award Ceremony
"Peacock" is still not far from Lin Nan, Zhang Jingchu is wearing colorful neon clothes, which is very eye-catching.
Lu Chuan, who had just walked on the red carpet with Ge You, now looked like a male bird displaying its feathers in the crowd.
Fan Bingbing wears a gauze dress and a silver-blue long skirt. She has an elegant hairstyle, a beautiful back, and a delicious look.
The people at Bayi Products Factory dress differently from most people, and most of the people they talk to are people with Chinese prefixes like China Film.
At 7:30 in the evening, the convention and exhibition center was already full of guests, and the awards ceremony was about to begin.
Leslie Cheung was the host of the awards ceremony. The opening program was much more eye-catching than before, imitating the Oscars, with RAP performances by cutting-edge bands such as the Black Stick Band and Kung Fu Band.
On the big screen, pictures were played, surrounding the 100th anniversary of domestic film and the major events of the 2004 Golden Rooster Awards.
Amid the sound of music and gorgeous light and shadow, Zhang Guoli appeared.
"Welcome, welcome all industry colleagues and film and television workers to the award ceremony of the 25th Golden Rooster Film Festival. I am Zhang Guoli, the host of this award ceremony..."
Lao Zhang is also a well-rounded old man in the industry. He has top-notch business skills and a very good manner. He even went to support Director Chen's anti-piracy activities two days ago when he had a fever. However, no one is perfect...
Ning Hao and Xing Aina came to Lin Nan, "Let's go back to the hotel together, tomorrow's news will definitely be interesting."
Eighty-year-old Jin Yaqin won the Best Actress award. She was the least popular among the five people who won the award.
"Then let's go back to the hotel together." Lin Nan said.
Now we are about to enter the most concerning topic for us, the Golden Rooster Film Festival Awards Ceremony!"
"Sister Wen Li, Teacher Li, do you still want to attend the dinner?" Lin Nan asked.
Not long after, the award ceremony ended and the dinner began.
The resort hotel, which was bustling with activity yesterday, will be quite deserted now, and it is estimated that it will be occupied by ordinary tourists.
They arrived yesterday and didn't join in the fun at the Golden Rooster. That's just their nature.
At this time, Chen Minghao and Zhu Yawen were chatting, and the content was very serious, a drama.
Sina has had many interactions with Lin Nan, and the leading reporter in front of him looked familiar.
Li Baotian seemed to be relieved, "Isn't this a competition between movies and acting skills?"
The award ceremony is still going on. I guess not many people listened carefully to the acceptance speech just now.
"Lu Chuan bombarded the organizer. The crew of the participating works paid for their own air tickets, while the big stars were reimbursed..."
The Best Supporting Actress was awarded to "Peacock", which means that there will be no other awards for "Peacock". The Berlin Jury Prize is here at the Golden Rooster, and that's it.
"Gu Changwei, Lu Chuan, Lin Nan, Ning Hao and other great directors and crew left the show midway, seemingly aggrieved..."
Tian Zhuangzhuang knew the ethics of the jury, but he didn't expect that this time he would actually make a fool of the three movies that won the grand prize. The media's satirical reports were overwhelming.
The hotel where the crew is located is also booked, and the creative staff, props, set management, logistics staff, etc. will all stay there, so there is no need to be disturbed.
"The nominees for the Best Director Award are: Lin Nan for "Into the Dust," Lu Chuan for "Kekexili," Ning Hao for "Crazy Stone," Ma Liwen for "The Two of Us," and Wei Lian and Shen Dong for "Taihang Mountain."
Lin Nan still felt a little uncomfortable after saying this. As for the future? Let's forget it.
"The jury is making a fuss. "Into the Dust" and "Crazy Stone" received no results, and "Peacock" and "Kekexili" only received a marginal award..."
After the party ended last night, a large number of celebrities and entertainers flew away overnight. It was unclear whether they were rushing back to work or going to the Golden Horse to attend the show.
The best feature film was awarded to "Taihang Mountains" and "Kekexili".
Jiang Wenli unclenched her fists, shook her head, and smiled bitterly.
The next morning, Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli left early.
"If you're tired, go back and rest. I'll go back to school tomorrow." Li Baotian said.
"Hey..., big news!"
Many people looked at Lin Nan, including Ning Hao, who gritted his teeth and smiled.
…
"I'm not going either, there are still schedules to arrange." Jiang Wenli was not in the mood.
Regardless of any news outside, Lin Nan took a shower and went to bed early.
When it came to Best Actor, no one expected Jackie Chan to win the Best Actor award before the awards were presented, but as soon as the results came out, everyone knew that this result was most likely determined by default.
Judging from the situation, he seemed to be specially waiting for Lin Nan, "Director Lin, "Time Cruise" is about to start filming in Sanya. Can we go to visit the team and interview it?"
Tian Yu watched the entertainment gossip with great interest, especially yesterday's Golden Rooster awards ceremony. "I don't know how our Director Lin is feeling. Will it affect the filming of the movie?"
At this moment, Lin Nan's heart seemed to have stopped beating.
As expected of the golden rooster, it once again laid double yolk eggs.
Almost everyone's eyes were turned to the crew of Gu Changwei's "Peacock". There was no need to guess the result. It won the Berlin Jury Prize, second only to the Golden Bear.
"I'm just talking about this group of people. I never thought about doing anything to people."
A group of people and several cars set off towards the hotel where the crew of "Time Cruise" was staying.
We can see Director Tong Kee-li, Jackie Chan, Mr. Tony Leung Ka-fai, Mr. Zhang Zhilin, Su Youpeng and other Hong Kong and Taiwan artists among the guests.
This cannot be said; it is a matter of unity.
"What's going on? Isn't there a dinner party? Why do so many great directors leave the show early?"
"Then come with us and take a look?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
That night, news about the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony appeared on all major news pages.
"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is "Zhang Side"."
Lin Nan reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth and clapped his hands. Many acquaintances looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, including Ning Hao, who was also frustrated, but he was mentally prepared.
The awards introduction of this film festival, the number, scale, type, and key film works of the participating films began to appear on the big screen.
Since the debut director award, everyone has been paying close attention to it.
"Today we gather in Sanya to celebrate the 100th anniversary of my country's film industry. There are many entertainers from all walks of life. The Golden Rooster has also included Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers in its selection for the first time.
Because there is an important entry in this group, "Peacock" Gu Changwei!
After skipping several awards, it came to the Best Actress Award. Li Bingbing, Zhang Jingchu, Jiang Wenli, Mei Ting and Jin Yaqin were competing for it.
No wonder so many film directors and producers were unwilling to take the initiative to speak at the cross-strait and three-region new film seminar organized by the film festival yesterday. In the end, they only said a few words when they were called by name. Lin Nan and Ning Hao did not go. I heard that the atmosphere at the scene was tense. It was so embarrassing that I almost couldn't go on.
The reporter reacted and said, "Thank you, Director Lin, and we will follow you in the car."
Lin Nan, Ning Hao and his wife, Yan Danchen, Gao Yuanyuan and others formed a group to go to the crew hotel. When they left the resort hotel, they bumped into the media.
On the contrary, Li Baotian said, "These people really don't care about public opinion at all."
Only then did everyone react, and the applause was a bit slow.
During the halftime performance, this year's Mango Supergirl contestant, He Jie, sang a song.
"Huang Xiaoming and others are late, the red carpet has been closed..."
"Pack it up, let's move to the hotel booked by the crew." Lin Nan informed Ning Hao.
Xia Yu and Zhang Jingchu took the stage to introduce the nominees for the Best Art Award and present the awards.
"With 23 judges voting, how can there be a double yolk egg?"
Lin Nan whispered. At this time, his confidence in his nomination for Best Director had dropped to 10%.
Gao Yuanyuan and Yan Danchen called Lin Nan early in the morning to greet her, with the intention of comforting her. The most popular winner of the award came away empty-handed. You can guess Lin Nan's mood.
Tian Zhuangzhuang made a special call. He didn't mention the award ceremony. He just said to be careful and don't affect the start of the movie. There will be more opportunities in the future.
The previous awards did not attract much attention. Most of them were won by unknown film practitioners, and everyone recognized them fairly well.
The group of people quickly left the venue, not caring about the cameras of so many reporters outside.
This is the first time that a Golden Rooster has included Hong Kong and Taiwanese filmmakers. How can we not give awards to Hong Kong and Taiwanese filmmakers?
Lu Chuan was very direct and had a dark face, and he only won a feature film award.
"The winner of the Best Director is: Ma Liwen's "The Two of Us"."
"Teacher, I'm fine, don't worry."
"The nominees for best screenplay are "The Two of Us", "Zhang Side", "Kekexili", "Taihang Mountain", "Into the Dust" and "Crazy Stone"."
…
Finally, there is the Lifetime Achievement Award, which the chairman of this year’s jury received.
The hotel booked by the company for the crew is definitely not comparable in size to the hotel designated by Golden Rooster, but it can accommodate more than 100 or 200 people.
Gu Changwei's smile just now was gone, and he had a serious expression on his face. He slowly opened his mouth again and clapped his hands.
Amidst the applause, Zhang Guoli then spoke.
In this way, "New Police Story" defeated "Kekexili", "Into the Dust", "Zhang Side" and "A Bright Moon".
Lin Nan tensed up at this moment. If this award could not be given to him, then he would be worse off than Director Gu Changwei. He had many nominations but no results.
At this time, the award presenter on the stage said, "The winner of this year's Golden Rooster Award for Director's Debut is "The Quiet Mani Stone."
…
The Best Supporting Actor award went to Mr. Tang Guoqiang. The subject matter of "Zhang Side" gave Golden Rooster a natural advantage. It's not that Mr. Tang's acting skills were not good, he was really good. It's just that Golden Rooster didn't even try to hide it.
"There's really nothing left to gain! It's amazing!"
"The Berlin Silver Bear film failed to win, the jury's grand prize only won the best supporting actress, and director Lu Chuan left the show in a bad face..."
Jiang Wenli opened her mouth to say something, but held back.
Zeng Li, dressed in beautiful clothes, walked over, bright and aggressive, "The staff said that Director Lin, Director Ning and the others are coming over. Let's go out to pick them up. There seem to be reporters, so it's a good time for all the crew to show up."
"
"Letter from an Unknown Woman" won the opening prize, and everyone gave it a round of applause.
Someone was already smiling and wanted to congratulate Gu Changwei.
The smiles on many people's faces faded and they looked at the big screen in shock. That's right, it's not "Peacock"!?
Only after we came out did we realize that Gu Changwei, Lu Chuan and others had left earlier.
"Lizi, with your flaming red lips, you must have a high rate of turning heads when you go out. Consider other people's feelings." Chen Minghao teased.
Only an old classmate could joke like this. Zhu Yawen glanced at it and lowered his head, while Tian Yu stared happily.
"Chen Minghao, you are the only one who talks a lot."
Fourth update.
Chapter completed!
