"The winners of the Best Child Actor Award are: Wang Zhengjia "Once Upon a Time in the Movie", Wu Xu "On the Way to School"!"

"The winner of the Art Exploration Award is: "My Heart Flies"

"The winner of the Best Viewing Effect Award is: "No Thieves in the World"

......

With the awards being presented one by one, the award ceremony is already halfway through.

Yang Mi was not shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award, after all, she starred in a TV movie before, so she can't be regarded as a newcomer.

Tang An could feel that Yang Mi was still very excited, especially when the award presenters on the stage read out a name every time.

"It's not the most popular actress yet, why are you so excited?" Tang Anqi said.

"I don't know, I just feel nervous if I don't hear my name after reading so much!" Yang Mi clenched her fists and blushed a little.

At this time, Gu Changwei, the director of "Peacock" next to him, spoke, he looked at Yang Mi's nervous appearance, and felt a little funny and a little emotional.

"It's like this for the first time, relax your mind, you can't run away if it's yours!"

"Uncle, are you also shortlisted for the first time?" Yang Mi looked at him a little uncertainly, and asked very casually.

Tang An saw that Yang Mi didn't know Gu Changwei, so he hurriedly corrected, "Mi Mi, this is Director Gu Changwei!"

After that, he apologized to Gu Changwei, "Director Gu, I'm sorry, Yang Mi is young and didn't recognize you!"

"It's okay, I'm just a behind-the-scenes staff, this is also the first time to be a director, so naturally it's the first time I've been shortlisted!" Gu Changwei waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

"Director Gu, I'm sorry!" Yang Mi said embarrassedly, and then asked curiously, "Then Director Gu, aren't you nervous?"

"Director Gu won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, how can he be nervous!" Tang An complimented with a smile.

Although Gu Changwei's achievements in directing are not outstanding, he is good friends with most fifth-generation directors, and he comes from the Western Film Studio, and he is a descendant!

In the eighties and nineties, the Western Film Studio was the signboard of Chinese films, and the first place foreign film companies went to China was not China Film, but Western Film Studio.

In the eyes of today's people, having a Beijing hukou is the best, but in the 80s of the last century, how many directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff gave up their Beijing hukou and did everything possible to transfer the relationship to Xiying, which shows the appeal of Xiying at that time.

At that time, there was no concept of a brokerage company, and the graduates of Chinese opera and Beijing Film were able to be assigned to the Western Film Studio, which was relatively hard backstage.

It can be said that in the eighties and nineties, Western Film Studio represented the highest achievement of domestic films, just as Hollywood is to the United States.

Film directors, TV series directors, actors, screenwriters, photographers, and the top talents in China at that time were basically from Western Film Studios.

In that era, no matter where you went to that crew or where you filmed, you could meet people who came out of the Western Film Studio.

However, with the resignation of Wu Tianming, the director of the Western Film Studio, and the introduction of imported blockbusters, the state-owned film studio, which was once the only non-debt-free operation in the country, finally declined, marking that mainland films have finally entered the era of capital.

Although the Western Film Studio has weakened, its influence still covers the entire mainland entertainment industry.

Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige needless to say, Huang Jianxin served in the senior management of China Film, and later directed "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", and after Han Sanping stepped down, he led "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army".

Gu Changwei took over the position of art director of Huayi in 13 years, and Chen He signed a contract with Huayi in the same year, and the actor of "Micro Love" was also given to him.

If it weren't for his good relationship with Brother Chen Kai, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

Most of the directors, photographers, and screenwriters in this venue are inextricably linked to Western Film Studio.

Tang An wants to set up a professional team, and all the behind-the-scenes personnel must be top professionals, and contact with people from Xiying is indispensable.

And Li Xiaowan's Long Xinda lacks film resources, and there is no reason for connections in addition to funds.

Li Shaohong is also a fifth-generation director, but he was born in the Beijing Film Studio and has three or two kittens. Li Xiaowan worked as an assistant to Chen Kaige's father, and the relationship is not very deep.

Maybe he just returned from Berlin in February, Gu Changwei was in a good mood, so he chatted with Tang An.

The awards on the stage are still continuing, and the next award is the Best Debut Award, which is also the one that Tang An is most sure of getting.

has a high box office and won an award abroad, if this award is not given to Tang An, it is estimated that the jury itself will be embarrassed.

"Nominated for the Best Debut Award!"

"On the Way to School"

"Waiting Alone"

"A Big Pair of Sheep"

Shark Beach

When the host on the stage read "Shark Beach", Tang An immediately sat up straight, pretending to be very excited and looking forward to it.

There's no way, you have to give some face, or the organizer will take a look at it, we will give you a nomination, you kid is so calm, don't you disdain!

However, the big directors are much more casual, and when it was the turn of "No Thieves in the World" before, Feng Xiaogang was still chatting with people with Erlang's legs crossed.

Immediately, Tang An felt several cameras pointed in his direction, and most of the people around him were also looking this way.

Obviously, everyone thinks that "Shark Beach" is the most likely to win this award.

And next to him, compared with Tang An's pretentious posture, Wu Sixian, the director of "Waiting Alone", was much more nervous.

He glanced at Tang An, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart, he could only hope that the organizing committee would not take a fancy to this kind of popcorn director.

After whetting his appetite, the host leaned close to the microphone and read out the award-winning film aloud.

"Shark Beach!"

"Congratulations!"

Then, the music sounded, and the movie clip of "Shark Beach" began to play on the big screen in the center.

"Bang bang bang!"

Everyone also applauded face-wrenching, smiling and looking at Tang An.

Tang An straightened his dress, stood up and gestured around, and slowly walked to the stage in the face of the constantly "clicking" flash.

"Congratulations to Director Tang An for winning the Best Virgo Award at this year's Beijing University Student Film Festival!"

After handing the trophy to Tang An, the host waited for the applause to last for two seconds before speaking.

"Director Tang, your debut film is of special significance to every director, so can you tell everyone, as well as the audience friends in front of the TV, about your original intention of creation at that time and your current feelings?"

Tang An was silent for three seconds before taking the microphone.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, this is the truth given to us by the ancients!"

His tone was a little low!

"Actually, the idea of directing a movie alone has been around for a long time, but because of various concerns and distrust of my own abilities, it wasn't until last year that I worked as an assistant director on the crew of "Letter from a Strange Woman" and shot some less important shots!"

"At that time, I thought, no matter how many difficulties there are, if there are difficulties, overcome them, nothing in this world is smooth sailing!"

"I took all my savings, prepared the equipment, found the actors, and started filming directly!"

"I don't have the money to hire someone, so I will be a photographer, a lighting engineer, a set designer, and an artist!

"I haven't thought about what to do if I don't have enough funds halfway, how to solve the problem of distribution, and where to do the follow-up special effects!"

Tang An raised his head, his body was straight, he looked ahead confidently, and his tone was impassioned, "Just go all the way forward, cross the hurdle if you have a hurdle, make a detour if you can't cross it, climb up if there is a mountain in the way, and swim over a river!"

"It's a big deal to go to a desperate situation, meet a cliff, turn around again, and start over!"

Bang Bang ......

Although the filmmakers on the scene are all old people who have been in the industry for many years, Tang An's words still touched them.

It seems to think of the time when I was young.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and rush forward!
