"Passing Years" won Best Picture as a dark horse, overshadowing all the other winners.

For Huaxia's news portal, the award for "Flowing Years" is extremely significant.

The first Chinese female director under the age of 40 to win the highest honour in Britain, which injected a shot in the arm for Chinese art films, which have been sluggish in recent years.

In comparison, the main creative team is Britannia, and only "Love" with a Chinese protagonist is not so conspicuous.

Fortunately, Hawke's performance at the awards ceremony made a cut for himself, earning him the third place in the entertainment section of the portal's homepage.

The font is one size smaller than "Flowing Years", but it is also red and bold.

The next day's reception, the winners were the protagonists, attracting the media, investors and artists looking for opportunities like a spotlight.

When Jocelyn and Hawke entered the meeting place side by side, a beautiful figure greeted them.

"Xiao Ke, you're here too. Chu Yiyan walked over to greet Hawke very naturally.

Hawke nodded, then felt Jocelyn next to him move closer.

"Sister Yi Yan is good. Hawke greeted Chu Yiyan first, then looked at Joselin and said to her in English: "This is the senior of our company, that is, the person I said to invite, she helped me a lot on New Year's Eve." ”

Chu Yiyan's English level is about the kind that can recognize 100 words, and she definitely can't understand it.

Then Hawke introduced Chu Yiyan to his screen partner.

During the whole process, Jocelyn only bowed slightly, and after a brief greeting, she stopped talking.

"This time it's really a rush, and I haven't had time to meet you when I come to York, Xiao Ke, you won't mind, right?" Chu Yiyan smiled at Hawke, and then glanced behind Hawke from time to time.

Since he caught a glimpse of Chu Yiyan at Barkles, Hawke didn't want to entangle with her anymore, and the two are now in a good relationship, so they can only be regarded as friends of wine and meat.

"Of course I don't mind, when I get to Sister Yi Yan's position, the announcement is full every day, and it's enough to talk to me now. Hawke replied.

After a few more simple greetings, Chu Yiyan left, and then walked behind Hawke.

Hawke turned his head to look, and there was a group of people not far behind him, and the center of the crowd was Ms. Zhang Wenzhi, the director of "Flowing Years".

Chu Yiyan walked to the periphery of the crowd, holding a cocktail, and waited quietly.

"What if everyone is gone?" the beautiful woman next to her teased as she touched Hawke's elbow.

Jocelyn seemed to be in a good mood.

It's quite strange, when Jocelyn mentioned this matter a few days ago, she reacted a little coldly to herself, why was she so happy when she really saw Chu Yiyan today?

Seeing that Hawke was in a trance, Jocelyn sneered.

"You're so much like the man Lily brought home a year ago. Jocelyn laughed and said, "The man was a few years younger than Lily, and he looked like a big man, but he didn't dare to communicate with Lily generously at all, and he never contacted Lily again after he came to our house." ”

Is this despised?

Jocelyn didn't say plainly, "You can't hold such a beautiful woman."

Embarrassed.

Skipping this topic, Hawke found an opportunity to say a few words to Ou Rui, a Chinese director who directed the film "Blue and Black", which was shortlisted for best director.

Euromonitor is a genius as his name suggests, he is only 28 years old this year, and the movies he makes are also abstract and brain-burning.

"Blue and Black" Hawke watched it twice, to be honest, he didn't understand it too much, and he didn't know what to do.

The media said that the film reflected the crisis of trust between people in the information age, and Hawke thought it was a thriller when he first watched it.

The ghost director also has a very fluttering style, and he floated away after chatting with Hawke for a few words, without even leaving a contact information.

Maybe someone else can say a few words to Hawke and already approve of him.

At the end of the reception, Hawke finally waited for the opportunity to talk to Director Jiang Shan in person.

The two tacitly did not mention the secret dinner a few days ago, as if they were meeting for the first time.

"It's a pity that you didn't get nominated for Best Actor this time, but you are still young, and if you hone your acting skills in the past few years, you will definitely have a chance. Jiang Shan patted Hawke's shoulder and admonished.

Then he said in a relatively small voice: "Your performance at the award ceremony yesterday was very exciting, and it is in vain that I fought for this opportunity for you." ”

For Jiang Shan's reminder, Hawke was not surprised.

There are only a few people who can talk to the program team, and Hawke only knows Jiang Shan and Louis.

From the day he got the news of the program team, he guessed that Jiang Shan was more likely, and his voice in the jury was far greater than that of the novice Louis.

The other party means that although it didn't help you win the Best Actor nomination, it also helped a lot.

To be honest, this favor is a bit owed.

After touching the wine glass with Jiang Shan and drinking the wine in one gulp, Huo Ke said sincerely: "Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang, for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard in the future and will not disappoint your expectations." ”

Jiang Shan took a casual sip of the cocktail and said: "You have this strength, otherwise I can't make something out of nothing, we are all Chinese people, and it is appropriate to help each other outside." ”

Hawke nodded in agreement.

Jiang Shan thought for a while, and then said to Hawke in a somewhat vague tone: "You hurry up and hone your acting skills, and if you perform well, my movie will give you a role with lines next year." ”

It is rumored in the media that Jiang Shan's film next year is a martial arts commercial masterpiece, and it may also be the first film in the series.

Martial arts is extremely hot in the Chinese TV circle, but there are only a handful of directors in the film industry who can make a profit after shooting this theme.

Jiang Shan is one of them.

has reached the threshold of Jiang Shan's status, and it is easy for him to give an artist who can talk to a chance to perform.

And this is undoubtedly a great favor for Hawke at this time! It is likely that he cannot repay it.

In a commercial blockbuster that is likely to be profitable, even a one-minute scene is a great honor.

How big is the gap between the TV industry and the film industry?

Just look at Chu Yiyan, who is still standing outside the crowd in the distance, patiently waiting for the opportunity to talk to Zhang Wenzhi.

is not at the same level, the big guy's dimensionality reduction blow is too strong, which flatters Hawke.

Jiang Shan patted Hawke on the shoulder again and said, "The project has not been fully determined yet, and I don't know the specific time, if you have the opportunity to call this time." ”

The big guy gave Hawke his assistant's number.

At this point, Hawke was eager to answer, and he would be available no matter what the situation.

But the most basic backbone of being a man cannot be lost.

After suppressing his excitement and thanking Jiang Shan, Hawke said: "I will definitely seize every performance opportunity this year to improve myself and make myself competent for this role." ”
