046. Award Ceremony I

The past few days of the awards ceremony have not been easy.

In addition to having a meal with Jiang Shan in secrecy after the red carpet, Hawke also took the time to participate in Barclays's drinking party.

As a well-known British brand and one of the sponsors of this year's York Film Festival, he, who wears a Barclays haute couture costume, is entitled and obliged to make a trip.

At the reception, he chatted casually with the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific region.

The other party will not send the endorsement with both hands just because Hawke wore their haute couture once, and then it looked good, as if he had picked up a treasure.

Barclays already has an exclusive spokesperson in the Asia-Pacific region - Chinese movie star Hu Yishan.

With Hawke's current popularity, it is not enough to be honored.

But there was another interesting thing that happened at the reception.

Chu Yiyan, who had eaten spicy crayfish two weeks ago and disappeared after getting the invitation to the award ceremony, appeared at the reception.

York at the end of March was quite cold, and I felt shivering when I saw her dress.

In particular, this is an open-air reception.

There were too many people at the reception, and Hawke didn't have time to greet her, and Chu Yiyan didn't seem to see Hawke.

I saw her talking and laughing with a Chinese man in a suit and leather shoes, and the two of them disappeared within five minutes.

In the past, Hawke didn't understand why Chu Yiyan was not tall enough and had a hard injury on the side of her face and could still ascend to the position of the first sister of Dile, and sure enough, everyone who could come out had the ability to take care of the house.

......

The jury announced the final list of nominees on the morning of March 31, and "Love" received two nominations for Best Director and Best Picture.

Hawke and Jocelyn were both missing out on Best Actor.

Even Jocelyn, a special meteor award for newcomers to British showbiz, was not nominated.

This result is in line with the expectations of the creators of "Love", and there are no special surprises.

To be honest, Hawke was still a little disappointed when he saw that he was not nominated for Best Actor, through watching the movie in the past few days, he knew that there was still a gap between his strength and other professional filmmakers, but it would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed when the dust settled on the result.

It seems that it is not good to take the risk to eat with Judge Jiang Shan before!

Even in a private place, Hawke didn't dare to say it, so he could only say it silently in his heart.

Before Hawke was disappointed, at twelve o'clock at noon, the staff preparing for the awards ceremony called Hawke to the Edburgh Theatre and brought him a shocking news.

"Invite me to be a guest performer?" Hawke looked at the studio director and was stunned, "And then you want to sing "Starlight City"?"

What kind of mystery is this unfolding plot?

The director, a middle-aged man with a beard, gave his assistant a look and asked her to hand the program to Hawke.

Due to the absence of the performers who were originally scheduled to participate in this session, it was decided to invite Mr. Huo as a guest performer on the recommendation of the judging committee. ”

Pointing to the program list, he said: "This performance session is about six minutes long, the theme is 'British Love', and it will be held in the interval between the Best Screenplay and Best Director awards. ”

It's still very late in time.

Best Director is followed by three main events: Best Actor, Best Lead, and Best Picture.

"Then do you have any special requirements for acting?" Hawk didn't know the bottom of his heart, if the requirements were too high and beyond the limit of his strength, whether he could accept it was a question worth considering.

The director coughed, and then said: "Due to the suddenness of the incident, we have no special requirements for stage design and the like, but Mr. Huo's performance must be really sung." ”

The director is an old Jianghu, and he is clear about the affairs of China.

This is no problem, Hawke's current singing skills and singing "City of Stars" are stress-free.

Hawke thought for less than half a minute before agreeing to the invitation.

"We understand that Mr. Huo has also had singing and performance experience in Huaxia, and if you have any ideas about stage design, you can also tell us. The director personally handed Hawke a piece of paper, "This is the list of people in charge of the scene, lighting, camera, etc. for the awards ceremony, and they will do their best to help you." ”

Accepting this invitation meant that Hawke was spending most of the next few days at the Edburgh Theatre.

This is an opportunity for him to make a name for himself at the festival, and Hawke must take it.

......

Time flew by, and it was April 2nd.

The award ceremony officially began at 7 p.m. local time.

The host is Jimmy Lane, the protagonist of the famous British talk show "Jimmy Monday Night".

Unlike fancy talk shows, Jimmy's show is more serious, and the topics of discussion are also ecology, poverty, and peace, which is why he is invited by film festivals that focus on art.

If this is the Huaxia Tianding Film Festival, it is how to be fancy and eye-catching.

Since the host is in a serious painting style, there is naturally no explosion.

Except for the opening scene that swept the crew of "Love" a few times, and then Hawke made his trademark smile at the camera, he was in a state of recuperation for the next hour.

After all, I still have a show to perform after that, and now I need to save my physical strength.

Awards such as Best Film Score, Best Short Film, and Outstanding Artistic Achievement were presented one after another.

This was followed by the first theme of the ceremony, "The Melting Pot of the Times", which was presented by one of the judges of this year's competition, actress Tiffany Dorothea from Latin America.

Her dance is indeed beautiful, and the stage scene is also very spectacular, and there are dozens of people who accompany the dancers after a rough sweep.

Hawke had seen it many times in the past two days between rehearsals, and at this time there was no longer the shock he had when he first saw it.

He turned his head to look at Jocelyn, who was sitting next to him, who didn't seem to be interested.

"Joe, what's wrong?" asked Hawke softly in her ear.

For Hawke and herself to be so close, Joceline did not resist, and whispered: "I just have no interest in dancing, and I am a little bored after sitting for almost an hour." ”

Hawke glanced at the camera sharply, and made a look of great appreciation for the stage at the camera that was grabbing the lens at him.

After the camera left him, Hawke continued to talk to Joceline.

"The Meteor Award nomination for a while didn't have me. Jocelyn took the initiative to bring up the topic with Hawke.

Hawke had been hesitant to ask her before, but he was afraid that Jocelyn would be upset.

"You know Hawke," said Jocelyn close to Hawke's ear, "this time the jury has a man from Italy named Gattuso, and he must have denied me the chance of being shortlisted. ”

Why are you so sure?

She continued: "Gattuso's sister and my father are both representatives of abstract painting in the European Federation, and the two of them have been competing for ten years, and he must have had selfish motives to get in the way of this opportunity. ”

It turns out that Jocelyn was not shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award, and there is such a relationship.

It could also mean that all of the "Love In" related awards didn't get Gattuso's ticket, which doesn't feel good.

If I become a judge in the future, I will do it as I like!
