Chapter 34: Two Awards
"Shark Beach!"
"Congratulations to Tang An, the director from Huaguo!"
The white-bearded old man finally stopped his appetite and shouted out with full anger.
This was followed by enthusiastic applause from the audience, who made no secret of their love for the film.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Whew!"
Tang An breathed a sigh of relief, and was very pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect the organizing committee to really award this award to himself.
He didn't care about Lu Chuan, who was stunned next to him, got up and greeted his peers and the audience around him, and strode onto the podium.
"Young man, it's a good shot, but it's not as beautiful as the beach of San Sebastian!" the old man smiled and encouraged
"Thank you!" Tang An greeted him sincerely, took the trophy with both hands, and held it firmly in his hand.
Looking at the thousands of audiences in the audience, Tang An, who had experienced countless big scenes, couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Thank you very much to the organizing committee for awarding this award to me, thank you!"
"Actually, I don't have a lot of confidence to win this award, after all, I'm only 23 years old this year, this is still my first work, among which due to various reasons, there are still a lot of mistakes in this film, which is a very regrettable thing, I also learned a lot from it, I hope that the next work can make greater progress and be able to walk on this podium again, thank you!"
once again stepped off the stage and returned to his seat in the audience's "popping" sound, these are also his heart's words, subject to cost, this film can get a passing score of 60 points at most in his opinion.
"Director Lu, it seems that the judges don't quite agree with your movie!" Tang An sat down and looked at him and chuckled.
"Hmph! I don't know why I won a small prize!"
Tang An smiled, turned his head and said to Yang Mi, who was staring at the trophy on the side, "Mi Mi, I'll tell you a story." ”
"Okay!"
"The name of this story is 'The Fox and the Grapes'..."
"I know... I know, is it because you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour......"
Yang Mi hurriedly answered, and after speaking, she found that Lu Chuan's face was a little wrong, and then she realized that she might have said the wrong thing, and quickly closed her mouth.
"Lu Dao's elementary school Chinese textbook should also have this story, right?" Tang An said with a smile.
Lu Chuan sadly found that he didn't seem to be sharp enough, and he was not Tang An's opponent at all, so he could only turn around helplessly, and secretly made up his mind that he must look good in the domestic film market.
Let him see the box office appeal of the leading figures of the new generation of directors!
At this time, the next award was being presented on stage, the Audience Choice Award, which was undoubtedly won by "Shark Beach" again.
Tang An stuffed the trophy into Yang Mi's arms and took the stage again to receive a trophy.
Yang Mi looked at the other trophy in his hand and whispered to him, "Brother An, can you give me a trophy, I want to put it in the dormitory!"
As soon as he heard her words, Xu Ruoyun, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly pulled his clothes, "Mi Mi!"
"It's okay, you can bring that back, I fooled you in the first place!" Tang An waved his hand and smiled.
Trophies are enough, one has little to do with two.
Those who didn't win the award did everything possible to cater to the tastes of the judges, but after winning the award, they didn't pay much attention to it.
And it's not pure gold, it's worthless.
The next awards have little to do with Tang An, Xu Jinglei finally won the Silver Shell Award for Best Director, but the Golden Shell Trophy was taken away by an Iranian film and failed to win the highest award.
However, for Xu Jinglei, who is a director for the second time, it is already a great gain to win the Best Director at the International A-category Film Festival, and it is also an affirmation for herself.
It was 9 o'clock in the evening after the award ceremony, and their group chartered a minibus and went straight to Madrid Airport, got on the plane at one o'clock in the morning, and flew directly to Beijing.
It was another 12-hour flight, arriving at Beijing Capital Airport at two o'clock in the afternoon on the 27th.
Xu Jinglei and they had Huayi take a car to pick them up, and Yang Mi was also picked up by Li Xiaowan in person.
"Tang An, then let's go back to the company first, see you at the premiere!"
"Okay, remember to come on time when the time comes!" Tang An waved at them.
"Mr. Li, I'm bothering you to pick up the plane in person, but it's really personal!" Tang An looked at Li Xiaowan and smiled.
"I happened to have something to do in the capital, so I stopped by, Director Tang, have you gained anything this time?"
"Good luck and two prizes!"
"Both nominations have won awards, that's really congratulations to Director Tang!" Li Xiaowan was a little surprised, and immediately congratulated him.
Tang An looked at Yang Mi, "Mi Mi, take the trophy and show it to Mr. Li!"
"Oh, okay!"
Yang Mi hurriedly took out the trophy for the best feature film from his bag and handed it over.
"Mr. Li, this is given to me by Brother An, I'll put it in the dormitory when I go back!"
Li Xiaowan hesitated for a moment, "Director Tang, how can you do this!"
"Keep it, this time thanks to Mi Mi's performance, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find such a suitable actor!"
"But it's best to stay in the capital these days, the premiere will start at the end of the month, I'll go to China Film to see if I can get some publicity resources, Mi Mi will definitely participate when the time comes!"
"Of course, if Director Tang needs it, I will fully cooperate!"
Virgo has won two international awards, which is even higher than the weekly news
In 91, the first movie "Tomb Wasteland" starring Zhou Xun, who was also 17 years old, only won the Best Actress Award at the Beijing TV Film and Television Festival, which is completely incomparable with the international A-class film festival.
And this is a commercial film, if the box office results are excellent, as the absolute protagonist, Yang Mi will definitely become famous in one fell swoop.
Not to mention being popular, at least you can step into the ranks of third-tier movie stars.
It's a star, not a little actor!
And all of this is due to Tang An, this young and somewhat excessive director, Li Xiaowan immediately invited, "Director Tang shouldn't have eaten yet, there is a hotel in front of me where the seafood is not bad, do you want to try it?"
"Thank you Mr. Li for your kindness, but it's not too early, I still have to go to Zhongying, next time!" Tang An declined.
"Then I'll send Director Tang over!"
"Then it's troublesome Mr. Li!" Tang An nodded, and he was not pretentious.
More than an hour later, Tang An came to Zhongying again and met Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng poured a glass of water for Tang An, looked at him and said with a smile, "Director Tang is coming back from Spain?"
Tang An took a sip of the cup, "Just got off the plane!"
"The first film can be shortlisted for the international A-class film festival, and Director Tang is not far from winning the award!"
"It's not far off!"
Tang An chuckled, took out the trophy from his bag and put it on the table.
"No, it's too late!"
"This is the award?" Lin Sheng grabbed the trophy in disbelief and checked it repeatedly.
"It's the Audience Choice Award, and there's also a Best Feature Film award for the actress!" said Tang An.
