Chapter 348: Award Ceremony (I)
Colorful flags fluttered, gongs and drums shook the sky.
There was a lively scene in front of the Yinchuan Gymnasium.
The car moved slowly in the long traffic, and several people sitting in the closed car could clearly hear a high-pitched commentary from a female host at the scene:
Now stepping out of the car is Mr. Xie Jin, a veteran of the film industry. Beside him was Liu Xiaoqing. Liu Xiaoqing filmed the film "Spring Flowers Bloom" this year......"
"Coming to us now are the screen couple Feng Yuanzheng and Liang Danny, who were nominated for actor for "Beautiful Shanghai". Walking with them was teacher Zheng Peiyao, who won the grand prize for "Ruyi". She also came to this film festival because of "Beautiful Shanghai......"
"We saw that many girls who came to the scene in Yinchuan today were thinly powdered. Xia Yu and Yuan Quan were walking towards us side by side, and the two of them had already filmed in Ningxia before they came to Yinchuan. Walking behind them were also two heavyweights, wearing sunglasses was the famous photographer Gu Changwei......"
"Poof!"
Qi Huan, who had been listening to the commentary with his ears pricked up, suddenly burst out laughing.
"It's the same as the sports meeting!"
Liu Jing, who was sitting next to her, pushed her glasses and said calmly: "It's normal, it's a small place, it's not easy to be like this this time." ”
In recent years, all over the country are advocating investment promotion, and I don't know where to start, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are held in major cities in turn, but there is a premise, that is, which city gets the right to hold it, it has to pay 3 million to the Film Association. Of course, this has also become a reason for the outside world to bombard the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award.
The money was paid by various localities, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to exaggerate the popularity of the city in order to achieve the purpose of attracting investment. So many times the so-called Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award is more like a glamorous church, but the theme of the movie is weakened.
For example, the opening ceremony of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award held in Yinchuan this time was more like a concert, and the organizers spent a lot of money to invite Zhang Baiju, Lin Zhixuan, Yi Nengjing, Yu Qingqing, Liu Yan, Han Hong and other singers to show their singing voices.
The most criticized thing is that there are only three movie theaters in Yinchuan City, and there are more monks and less porridge, and the theaters are showing blockbusters like "Mobile Phone" and "The Lord of the Rings 3" in order to attract audiences.
The three press conferences held by the organizers during the festival were more like a rallying cry of dissatisfaction with the festival by journalists and filmmakers.
The appearance of the crew of "Beauty Grass" is ranked at the back of the comparison, and the crew of "Mobile Phone" is in front.
“...... Now the hairless famous actor Ge You is coming to us. The beauty who accompanied her was Fan Bingbing. There is another male movie star who has no hair, he is Zhang Guoli. Hey, there is also a hairless actor in the back, he is the famous young actor He Xin, and he is also one of the nominees for Best Actor at this year's Golden Rooster Awards. Everyone knows that He Xin has created a lot of classic images on the screen, and his works have been shortlisted for many famous international film festivals such as the Berlin Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, etc., and has also won the title ......of Best Newcomer and Best Actor at the Wanwan Golden Horse Awards.
The first time he participated in this kind of event in China, he heard the host's enthusiastic commentary, which made him a little embarrassed, after all, the two bald heads walking in front of him were the actor of the international A-class Cairo Film Festival, and the other was the actor of Cannes.
Fortunately, this time he walked the Avenue of Stars, there was no on-site interview and signing on the background board, he almost followed Fan Xiaopang who was still grinding in front of him, and kept urging Fan Xiaopang, who stopped from time to time to scratch his head and make a gesture, and hurried to finish this nearly 100-meter-long Avenue of Stars.
After spending so much money, it was difficult to hold such a grand event, and the closing ceremony was naturally attended by local leaders, which also framed the atmosphere of tonight's award ceremony, warm and solemn.
As a nominee for Best Actor, He Xin's seat is relatively high, in the middle of the second row, on the left hand side is his rival Liu Wei, and on the right hand side is the Best Actress nominee - the big beauty Jiang Qinqin.
These two of them are meeting for the first time, so naturally he has to greet them politely.
Liu Wei is obviously an old-timer.
Jiang Qinqin is a little shy, today she is wearing a dark green deep V long skirt, with a white shawl, long wavy hair tied in a bun at the back of her head, and a pearl necklace on her slender neck, which looks graceful and luxurious.
To be honest, the most eye-catching female stars participating in today's awards ceremony are her and Fan Xiaopang, but in terms of figure, Jiang Qinqin, who is slightly plump and full of a light and familiar style, is obviously much better than Fan Xiaopang.
As a former Qiong girl, Jiang Qinqin became famous very early. The past two years should be regarded as her most popular time, she can often be seen on the small screen, and her acting skills are also good.
When He Xin was watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the combination of Mu Nianci and Yang Kang played by her and Zhou Jie was far more pleasing to the eye than the combination of Guo Jing and Huang Rong played by Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun.
He Xin estimated that she should not have crossed paths with Uncle Pancake at this time. Because just this afternoon, Sister Hong was still nagging him, saying that Hu Mei, a famous CCTV female director who directed "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", is currently preparing a long-form TV series about the life of a generation of legendary Jin businessman Qiao Zhiyong, which is said to be a key project of CCTV next year.
Chang Jihong plans to help him win the role of the male number one in this play. He Xin was noncommittal about this, mainly because his current film contract is not exaggerated to the extent that it will be scheduled for next year, and second, Qiao Zhiyong, played by Uncle Pancake, is very impressed in his memory, and he is not too confident in whether he can get this role.
Especially when he saw Jiang Qinqin at this time, he was still secretly wondering in his heart, if he really got this role, would he still be suspected of beating mandarin ducks?
Not long after taking a seat, the award ceremony officially began, and surprisingly, no leaders came to the stage to give speeches this time.
The first to come out was Pu Cunxi, the host of tonight's Hundred Flowers Awards.
At this time, I saw him dressed in a formal suit, holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand, and said emotionally: "I want to say first of all to hundreds of millions of fans, to say our predecessors, and then to say our colleagues, good evening, everyone." As an actor, being able to host the Hundred Flowers Award is like doing things for your family. The Hundred Flowers Award has gone through 27 spring and autumn periods, and we deeply feel that it is our people, fans, and audiences who have raised Hundred Flowers, and at the same time, Hundred Flowers has also cultivated generations of outstanding actors. So I had the opportunity to prepare ninety-nine roses on behalf of the actors today. ”
"Whoa......
After a burst of warm applause, Pu Cunxi continued to sensationalize: "We want to use this romantic way and our sincerity to dedicate these ninety-nine roses to our audience, and also to the love of our hearts for a lifetime -- Chinese movies! The number ninety-nine is an auspicious number in China, it symbolizes eternity and prosperity." Chinese films are celebrating their 99th birthday this year, and I wish Chinese films to prosper forever!"
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, and the filmmakers and the audience naturally understood, and hurriedly responded with warm applause.
At this time, I saw him smile lightly and said: "I am presiding over the Hundred Flowers Award today, but I have ninety-nine roses in my hand, and I brought the hundredth rose, she is more beautiful and beautiful than the ninety-nine roses in my hand, and the other host is the young actress Zhang Yan!"
Ooh!
When he saw Zhang Yan walking briskly from the other side of the stage, He Xin was suddenly shocked.
I saw that she was dark, and she was still wearing a cream-colored dress, and there was a big bow pinned to her hair that was the same color as the long skirt, which further highlighted the swarthyness of her face and arms.
He Xin had heard from his girlfriend before, saying that she became obsessed with outdoor sports with her husband after marriage. But He Xin really didn't expect to see him for more than half a year, this man's wife is like two people, a proper Congolese little white girl!
He subconsciously lowered his head, unable to bear to look at it!
"Thank you so much for inviting me in such a romantic way. And thank you very much for inviting the two of us to be the presenters of this grand ceremony. I am very touched at this moment, but also nervous and stressed......"
After the two stood on the stage and talked for a few minutes, the awards ceremony officially began.
"This year's Hundred Flowers Awards have a total of seven awards, divided into three categories, the Feature Film Award, the Actress Award and the Actor Award. And this year's Hundred Flowers Award is different from the past. It was the first time that it was revealed on the spot. The total number of votes we received from the audience ......"
The Hundred Flowers Award is different from the Golden Rooster Award, and the awards include the Outstanding Feature Film Award, the Outstanding Actor Award, and the Best Feature Film Award and the Best Actor and Actress Award.
What does this mean?
To put it bluntly, it is to divide pork, the so-called excellence award is equivalent to the second prize, and the best is the first prize.
The first award was the Outstanding Feature Film Award, and among the ten nominees, three works were awarded respectively: "Mobile Phone", "Thrilling" and "Warm Spring".
And "Mobile Phone" later won the heaviest Best Feature Film Award in the Hundred Flowers Awards.
Huang Zhongjun took the stage to accept the award as a representative of the producer. At this time, Huang Dong stood with the trophy in his hand, stood on the stage and said proudly: "Thank you! Our company has two films shortlisted this year, "Mobile Phone" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". "Mobile Phone" won the first place at the box office last year, and this year's audience gave the first number of votes, thank you, thank you to everyone who contributed to this movie. ”
Although the Hundred Flowers Award is an award selected by the audience, at the beginning, Zhang Yan also introduced how many votes were received and what the number of valid votes was, but the specific number of votes was not announced when it came to the award-winning works and award-winning actors. There is always a suspicion of black-box operation, which is also where the Hundred Flowers Award has always been criticized.
For example, the three films that won the Outstanding Feature Film Award, "Mobile Phone" represents a commercial film, "Warm Spring" belongs to literary and artistic coffee, and "Thrilling" is the main theme work. The audience is so magically evenly divided into three groups, and the aesthetic taste is so harmonious, it is really intimate to be able to take care of filmmakers at different levels.
However, it is fair that "Mobile Phone" can win the Best Feature Film Award in the end.
