Since the company had already arranged everything for Xiao Yi and the others during their stay in Tokyo, after leaving the airport, someone took them to a hotel that had been booked in advance.

Xiao Yi stood in front of the window of the room, looking at the scenery of Tokyo with high-rise buildings outside the window, and felt a different feeling in his heart.

"Knock knock!"

Just when Xiao Yi was full of emotion in his heart, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Yi came back to his senses and walked over to open the door.

"Xiao Dao?" After opening the door, Xiao Yi saw an unexpected person, it was Zhao Xiaodao.

"Hehe, Brother Yi, I didn't expect it to be me. ”

"Yes, I really didn't expect to meet you here, come in and sit, why did you come to Tokyo too?" Xiao Yi invited Zhao Xiaodao in with a smile and asked.

"I came with the crew, and one of the films I participated in was also nominated, so the company arranged for me to come over and gain popularity, hehe. ”

"Oh, you can, are you ready to enter the big screen now?" Xiao Yi poured Zhao Xiaodao a glass of water.

"There's no way, now Huaxia has also implemented an artist rating system, if you don't produce more works, when will you be able to raise the level, I'm only a three-star artist now." Zhao Xiaodao said helplessly.

"Come on, Samsung is already very good, and I'm not just a Samsung artist now. ”

"Brother Yi, how long have you been debuting, I've been debuting for many years, do you think everyone is so perverted like you, and you can make movies, write scripts, and write songs. Zhao Xiaodao said with a look of contempt.

"Haha, buddy is also an all-rounder, and he will order anything. ”

......

After chatting with Zhao Xiaodao for a while, she said goodbye and left, after all, although a lonely man and a widow are abroad, it is not good to stay in a room for a long time.

The next day, Xiao Yi nested in the hotel for another day. In the afternoon, after Duoduo took Zhang Shuai to help Xiao Yi get his hair and clothes done, everyone left the hotel together, got into the car provided by the organizer, and rushed to the film festival award site.

Since Xiao Yi's film was the most nominated at this film festival, he also received a lot of attention.

The moment he got out of the car and walked on the red carpet, the flashing lights kept flashing towards Xiao Yi and Susan.

Xiao Yi can be regarded as having had a few red carpet experiences, so he behaved very decently. However, Susan was a little nervous, and Xiao Yi's arm was trembling slightly.

"It's okay, be natural. Xiao Yi said in a low voice.

Susan looked at Xiao Yi, smiled slightly, nodded, and after taking a deep breath, the nervous mood eased a little.

Xiao Yi also thought about whether the red carpet abroad would be different from the domestic one, and the result was the same signature, photo, interview, and the same process, there was no difference at all, and even the host asked similar questions, but in English and Japanese.

Entering the venue, Xiao Yi and his crew were arranged in a position in the second row, but there was nothing special about it.

And next to them is the position of the crew where Zhao Xiaodao is.

Xiao Yi and the others also greeted these colleagues from China politely, and only then did they know that the film in which Zhao Xiaodao participated was also a finalist for the Best Director and Best Actor awards at this year's Tokyo Film Festival.

For this Tokyo Film Festival, Xiao Yi's only goal is to win the Best Director Award won by this film in his previous life, and he has no idea about the rest.

Soon the awards ceremony began, like all the other film awards, with a newcomer award, followed by a few less important awards, and then the first major award, Best Actress.

These have nothing to do with Xiao Yi, he also thoroughly implements the principle that it is not about himself, and has always been communicating with Zhao Xiaodao and others in a low voice, ignoring the awards on the stage, just pretending to be serious when the camera sweeps him.

Soon it was time for Xiao Yi to award the first shortlisted award.

Xiao Yi didn't understand what the host said at all, although there was also an English translator, but Xiao Yi's English level could cope with daily communication, if he really wanted to listen to it like this, he really couldn't understand much.

But on the surface, he still pretended to listen carefully, and looked at the host on the stage with a faint smile on his face.

The host and the award presenters on the stage talked for a long time, and finally announced the winner of the best actor.

But when the guests announced, Xiao Yi didn't hear his name, so Xiao Yi didn't win this award. However, when he saw the winners on the stage, Xiao Yi was still very happy.

Because it was no one else who won the award, it was sitting next to him that the actor Duan Hong in Zhao Xiaodao and their crew!

"Alas, why isn't it you, Brother Yi. Susan whispered with some disappointment.

"What's so disappointing, I've already said it, the acting skills of the shortlisted actors are indeed much better than mine, it's no wonder I can win this award. But it's good for Duan Hong to get it, at least it's our Huaxia people. Xiao Yi said with a smile.

Although the judges of the Tokyo Film Festival are not all Japanese, as a Chinese, it is always nice to be able to achieve something on some occasions in Japan.

After the Best Actor Award was awarded, another award was awarded, the Best Director Award. A total of four directors competed for this award, and the Chinese accounted for one-half.

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded to the director Li Bo next to him, and Li Bo also responded politely. Unlike Xiao Yi's relaxed mood, Li Bo is still very nervous now.

When the guest took the card and read the name "Li Bo" in broken Chinese, Xiao Yi finally had a momentary look of surprise on his face.

He didn't expect that in this life, how could this movie not win the Best Director Award? Could it be that he made this film badly?

What he didn't know was that it wasn't that the film was broken by him, but that he didn't remember it right at all. The film "Wolf Warrior" did win awards at the Tokyo Film Festival, and it was also the best director and best actor, as well as three awards for best picture. However, it was won at the "Tokyo Film Festival Chinese Film Week" section, and it was not won in the final jury.

But it was just a matter of a moment, Xiao Yi quickly regained his smile and applauded to congratulate Li Bo.

"Brother Yi, this, this is another award, there is nothing to do with you. Susan said with some frustration.

"It's not that you didn't get the award, you're frustrated or something, it's okay, isn't there still two nominations. Xiao Yi said.

Susan pouted and said, "How can those two awards be compared to the previous two." ”

Xiao Yi smiled and didn't speak, in fact, if you really want to say which of these awards he likes the most, that is the audience award, because this award is completely selected by the audience.

In Xiao Yi's view, only a movie that the audience says is good can be considered a success, and it doesn't matter if it can be recognized by those professional judges.

Movies, to put it bluntly, are still to make money, and if the audience says it is good, it means that the box office will not be bad. On the contrary, those movies that the judges said were good were not so good at the box office, look at those movies that won various awards, how many of them had a good box office?

At this time, those who paid attention to Xiao Yi in China were also very disappointed to see that Xiao Yi did not win the Best Actor Award and the Best Director Award.

"Alas, Brother Yi really seems to have just gone through the motions this time, and he failed to win these two heavyweight awards. ”

"I feel very good about Xiao Yi's movie, why can't I win these two awards?"

"It seems that Xiao Yi's level needs to be improved. ”

"It's really unfair, Brother Yi's movie has such a high box office, but he can't even win the Best Director Award, it's true. ”

"Although I am a little disappointed that Xiao Yi did not win these two awards, these two awards were finally won by our Chinese filmmakers, and I am still very happy for them. ”

"On the top floor, it's best for our Chinese movies to win all the awards of Little Japan!"

......

At the awards scene of the Tokyo Film Festival, Xiao Yi finally won the award, and it was the most reliable award in his own opinion - the audience award!

Last time at the domestic Linhai Film Festival, Xiao Yi had already won the Best Newcomer award once, but this time he had already come abroad to receive the award. However, Xiao Yi was not nervous at all.

Always walked on stage with a faint smile, took the trophy in the hands of the guests, came to the speaking area, and started his acceptance speech into the microphone. Instead of using English, he said directly in Chinese: "I missed two awards just now, and everyone around me feels very sorry. But in my opinion, the most important award is actually this. Saying that, Xiao Yi raised the trophy in his hand.

"Some people have always said that I am amazing, that I have created the history of Chinese cinema and even the history of world cinema, but in my opinion, the most important reason for the success of my film is the audience who paid to go to the cinema to watch my film. They are the ones who have made my film the highest-grossing film in Asia, and even in a single market in the world. So, I said that this audience award is what I want to get the most, thank you!" said Xiao Yi and bowed deeply.

"Finally, I want to thank me for having a prosperous and powerful motherland behind me, and I would not have been able to make this film without her as my backing!"

Xiao Yi's words made the few Huaxia people below immediately applaud, and although the others didn't understand what Xiao Yi said, they also applauded.

In the end, the award for Best Picture was won by a film from a Central Asian country, and although Xiao Yi received four nominations at the Tokyo Film Festival, he only won one award that everyone considered a chicken rib.

When Xiao Yi thought that his trip to Tokyo was over, he didn't expect another trouble to come to his door.
