Zhang Ran walked on the red carpet with the crew of "Tangshan Earthquake". He organized the Asian Film Academy Awards, and "Tangshan Earthquake" is the biggest hit in this Asian Film Academy Awards, and he must support them with all his strength. .

Like the previous two sessions, this year's Asian Film Academy Awards are also full of strong films, including Japan's "The Devourer", Tokyo Sonata", South Korea's "Chaser", China's "Lust and Caution", and "Tangshan Earthquake". Among them, "Tangshan Earthquake" won nine nominations, including Best Actor and Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture, ranking first; the Japanese movie "The Devourer" ranked second with eight nominations; Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" and Kurosawa's "Tokyo Sonata" both received six nominations, ranking third.

Since the Asian Film Academy Awards were held in China, and "Tangshan Earthquake" swept across Asia at the beginning of this year, with a good reputation and box office success, domestic audiences have placed high hopes for "Tangshan Earthquake", hoping that the movie can sweep all awards and keep all the awards in China.

It was not the first time that Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu attended the awards ceremony. They were relatively indifferent to the awards, seemed very relaxed and kept talking and laughing; while Wang Luodan and Ji Chen seemed a little absent-minded. This was the first time they attended the awards ceremony and the first time they received nominations, and they were both nervous and expectant.

Seeing that Wang Luodan and Ji Chen were both nervous and excited, Zhang Ran pointed to the ground: "Dandan, your wallet has fallen!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Luodan quickly looked up to the ground and found that the ground was empty and there was no sign of a wallet. Only then did she remember that she was wearing a dress and didn't bring a wallet at all, her face was speechless: "Teacher Zhang, you are so naughty!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Don't think about winning the awards. I asked about the results of several awards yesterday. The biggest winner this time is "The Immortal". We only have two small awards, so don't think too much!"

Wang Luodan was slightly stunned: "That movie in Japan is the big winner. Is that movie that good?"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "The Immortals are not surprising in the film technique, but they are filmed very steadily. The film runs through the whole life and death, highlighting the dignity of life and death. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the biggest hit for the best foreign language film of the Oscar next year!" Zhang Ran patted Wang Luodan's shoulder: "You and Ji Chen are still young. It's already very good to get the nomination for the first time filming. You will definitely win all the awards you deserve in the future. This time the competitors are too strong, so you can see it!"

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Wang Luodan immediately gave up: "I am satisfied with so many competitors and so strong, and I am already satisfied to be nominated. It is normal that I can't win the award, as expected."

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "It is best to think so."

With Zhang Ran being vaccinated, Wang Luodan and Ji Chen suddenly relaxed and began to talk and laugh. As Zhang Ran said, they were only 25 years old and their careers had just begun. Being nominated was already a huge honor for them. This award was chosen by the five best movies in Asia. Being able to get nominations means that they have done well enough.

The award ceremony began soon, and the first one was awarded the Best Screenwriter Award, the Japanese movie "Tokyo Sonata", which defeated many masterpieces including "The Devourer" and "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", and unexpectedly won the award; then, the Korean movie "The Chaser" successfully won the Best Editing; and Joe Hashi also won the Best Soundtrack for "The Golden Fish on the Cliff".

As a popular Asian Film Awards, "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" is naturally not to be outdone and won two awards for Best Visual Effects and Best Photography; Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" also successfully won the Best Art Director; while "The Devourer" won nothing.

After several awards were awarded in succession, it was the Lifetime Achievement Award. This time, the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Asian Film Academy Award was awarded to Director Xie Jin. Unfortunately, just ten days ago, Director Xie Jin passed away. Today he was unable to come to the scene in person. The one who received the award was his wife, Ms. Xu Dawen.

Director Xie Jin's contribution to the history of Chinese film is irreplaceable. He is a milestone in Chinese film and a master of Chinese film. He represents an era and the culture of an era. Therefore, when Ms. Xu Dawen appeared on the stage, the audience stood up and applauded, and the whole scene was filled with applause.

Xu Dawen said sadly: "Xie Jin likes the Asian Film Academy very much. He said that it is right to run this school. Chinese films should learn from Hollywood. When he knew that the Asian Film Academy would award the Lifetime Achievement Award to himself, he was very happy. He said that he would have a good chat with young directors like Zhang Ran, but unfortunately he couldn't wait for this day!"

The atmosphere suddenly became sentimental, and some of the actresses' eyes were red. Many people present grew up watching Xie Jin's movies. For his departure, everyone could only see him off in their hearts. Director Xie Jin walked along the way, and hoped that there would be movies in heaven!

Xu Dawen continued: "Before Xie Jin passed away, she thought she had a short time, so she specially drafted a speech, and now I will read it." She took out a manuscript and read it: "Now Chinese films are in a low period, and many ordinary people don't watch movies. This is a terrible thing! Zhang Ran and the others did a good job and were trying to bring the audience back little by little. Zhang Ran, because of you and young people like you, Chinese films are full of hope. I have not had many days anymore, and it is difficult to do anything for Chinese films anymore. Chinese films will be entrusted to you!"

The audience was stunned. Director Xie Jin was entrusting his or her own son, but this is not surprising. Now the fifth generation director led by Zhang Yimou is lost in the commercial tide. The sixth generation led by Jia Zhangke is too fringe. The young director led by Zhang Ran is rising in full swing and becoming the main force of Chinese films. The future of Chinese films depends on their group of directors!

After a brief silence, the applause at the scene burst out like a volcano, sweeping the audience.

Whether it is the live audience or the TV, the audience in front of the computer are very excited. Everyone thinks this is a historic moment, witnessing the inheritance of Chinese films.

A reporter from the audience opened his notebook, wrote down the title of the report "Inheritance", and then pressed Save.

When Xu Dawen got off the stage, Zhang Ran hurried over and said respectfully: "Can you give me the speech of Director Xie Jin? I want to frame it and hang it on the wall at home to motivate myself!"

Xu Dawen smiled and handed the one in her hand to Zhang Ran: "I'll leave it to you!"

A thin piece of paper was held in his hand but it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his heart was even more heavy. He knew that he had taken the speech, so he took the banner of Chinese films and would carry the banner forward in the future.

Before his death, Kurosawa entrusted the Japanese movie to Takeshi Kitano, but Takeshi Kitano obviously failed Kurosawa Aki's expectations and failed to carry the Japanese movie forward. What about himself?

Can you bear this responsibility yourself?

Can you bear the banner of Chinese films by yourself?

Zhang Ran didn’t know, but one thing is certain. He really loves Chinese movies and really hopes that Chinese movies will get better and better!

Next, the best supporting actress was awarded, and Zhang Ziyi was responsible for the award.

After the performances of five nominated actresses on the big screen, Zhang Ziyi had already opened the list of winners, looked at the names of the winners, smiled, and then announced the final result loudly: "The one who won the Best Supporting Actress at the Third Asian Film Academy Awards was Wang Luodan in "The Great Tangshan Earthquake". Congratulations!"

Wang Luodan covered her mouth in surprise, a little unbelievable. She looked at Zhang Ran again and found that he had a smirk of a treacherous plan, and knew that she had been fooled. Zhang Ran must have won the award, but she deliberately teased herself. Teacher Zhang really didn't change at all. She liked to tease everyone if she had nothing to do. She was a little amused and crying: "Teacher Zhang, you big liar!"

Zhang Ran applauded at her with a smile: "How is it? Are you surprised or happy? You acted really well, congratulations!"

"Teacher Zhang, thank you." Wang Luodan excitedly gave Zhang Ran a hug.

Zhang Ran smiled and patted Wang Luodan on the back. As a teacher, when he saw his students becoming successful, he felt an indescribable joy and relief in his heart. He felt that his efforts were not in vain.

After taking the stage, Wang Luodan said excitedly: "Thank you, the judges, thank you all the audience who supported "Tangshan Earthquake". Thank you all the members of the crew. This honor is not my own, but everyone's. What I want to thank most is Teacher Zhang Ran. My image and temperament are not outstanding. When I took the Beijing Film Academy, seven of the ten teachers in the examination room were not optimistic about me. After entering Beijing Film Academy, I pretended to be careless and made myself look confident. In fact, I felt that everyone is so outstanding and so good-looking, and I definitely couldn't make it. It was Teacher Zhang who made me understand what performance is, Teacher Zhang taught me what performance, and Teacher Zhang made me understand that the most important thing for actors is acting, and Teacher Zhang gave me the role of Li Na. I really thank Teacher Zhang. It's great to be your student! I'm finished, thank you everyone!"

When Wang Luodan got off the stage, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Dandan, this flattery is good!"

Wang Luodan stuck out his tongue: "Hehe, you can see it!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said, "What a fool. At this time, you should say that I am really not flattering. All I say is the truth. In this way, I may have asked you to film again when I am happy. Only your performance will not be the next time!"

Wang Luodan immediately burst into tears: "Teacher Zhang, I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

The award ceremony continued, and awards were presented one by one.

"The one who won the Best Supporting Actor at the Third Asian Film Academy Awards was Sun Honglei of "The King of Mongolia"!"

"The one who won the Best Actress at the 3rd Asian Film Academy Awards is Chen Chong of "Italy"!"

"The best actor who won the third Asian Film Academy Award is Masahiro Motoki in "The Devourer"!"

It was soon the Best Director Award. After the award presenter Jia Zhangke came on stage, five movie clips began to be played on the big screen: "The best director awards were shortlisted, Kurosawa Kiyoshiro of "The Commitment", Takita Yojiro of "The Chaser", Luo Hongzhen of "The Secretariat", Ang Lee of "The Secret", and Zhang Ran of "The Great Earthquake of Tangshan"!"

After the short film was played, Jia Zhangke smiled and announced the final result: "The best director who won the third Asian Film Academy Award was Zhang Ran in "Tangshan Earthquake"! Congratulations to Zhang Ran!"

The crew of "Tangshan Earthquake" cheered, and Zhang Ran's fans on the Internet began to flood the screen with crazily.

After taking the trophy, Zhang Ran stood in the center of the stage, but there was no smile on his face: "I'm very happy to win this award. Director Xie Jin's words just now made me feel very stressed. It's really difficult to take on this responsibility. However, there is one thing that Director Xie Jin said was very right. Now the audience doesn't like to watch movies, which is particularly terrible. We must bring the audience to the cinema. It's impossible to accomplish it by myself, so everyone work hard together! Thank you, thank you everyone!"

As the words came to the ground, applause burst out in the venue; amid the warm applause, Zhang Ran raised the trophy in his hand high.
Chapter completed!
