Chapter 266: Image Ambassador

Holding the best director certificate and trophy, Bai Yuhan led a group of creators of "Chinese Partner" who complained about him in front of the national audience and stepped off the stage.

Achieved the achievement of Best Director of the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films, one of the three awards, Bai Yuhan was in a very good mood, as if he had reached the peak of his life.

If you want to say that his biggest extravagant hope is definitely the Academy Award, which is probably an achievement that any director in the world wants to achieve. However, it is obvious that it is too slim to win the Oscar, and among the Chinese all over the world, Ang Lee has won this achievement, but Ang Lee is an authentic Hollywood director who studies and makes movies in the United States.

Bai Yuhan obviously doesn't think that he is an out-and-out Chinese angry young man who can make any movies that please the Oscars, and none of the scripts in his hands have the potential to do this.

The Oscars are slim, and the three major European literary and artistic awards on the same level as the Oscars are also slim. The Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, the Palm Award at the Cannes Golden Film Festival, and the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival are all the territories of literary films, and Bai Yuhan obviously does not have so many literary and artistic cells, and he has no expectations for these three awards.

Therefore, what he really looks forward to and has ambition to win is the Chinese Film Award. At present, there are five highest awards for Chinese-language films, the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards, the Chinese Film Huabiao Awards, and the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award.

The Golden Horse Awards are selected by Taiwan, but as we all know, Taiwanese films have long since died, and there are no good movies anymore. In an environment where even the film industry is declining, the gold content of the awards selected has long been not as high as it was back then.

The same is true for the Academy Awards, where Hong Kong films are in decline. The Hong Kong market is not as prosperous as in the last century, and there are many restrictions on the Academy Awards, so Hong Kong filmmakers must participate in investment and production to win the awards, and it is an indisputable fact that the influence of the Academy Awards is declining year by year.

The reason for the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards. The biggest reason why it can become the highest award for Chinese films is that the mainland itself has come up with Golden Rooster, Baihua, and Huabiao.

The Golden Rooster Award engages in double yolk eggs every year, and engages in shady dark boxes every year, and the reputation has never been raised. The authority of the Hundred Flowers Award is too poor, and the votes are questioned every year. The audience was very dissatisfied with the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award. As a result, the number of viewers at the annual film festival is not high, and there are too few good films, so the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, which are selected once a year, are finally adjusted to be selected every other year.

Pick every other year, choose a movie from a year ago. This timeliness is too poor. How many viewers still remember, the movie they watched more than a year ago.

As for the Huabiao Award, it is even more mysterious, because this is not a real award at all, but a reward for the film crew on behalf of the government.

But anyway. These five Chinese film awards have always represented the highest achievements of Chinese films, as a Chinese director. That's the biggest pursuit.

Bai Yuhan's directorial achievement list has reached 1/5 of the completion level.

……

After winning the Best Director, the Hundred Flowers Award ceremony continued, with another large period of nostalgia, lyricism, and song and dance performances, and then the second Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded, and the winner was the female artist Tian Hua. Tian Hua and Yu Yang. At the same time, he also won the title of honorary citizen of Suyin City.

After all this is done, finally. The most important moment of this award ceremony has arrived.

From the five nominated films, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Chinese Partner", "Earth-shattering", "Mulan" and "33 Days of Broken Love". Choose one best feature film, and two excellent feature films!

The live voting is divided into three rounds, and the first round selects the best feature film with the highest number of votes. In the second round, the highest number of votes among the remaining four films is the excellent feature film, and in the third round, the remaining three films will select one excellent feature film.

Not surprisingly, in the first round of votes, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was far ahead, winning the best feature film with 51 votes.

Regarding this result, Bai Yuhan had long expected that "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" can be said to be a film prepared by China Film Group for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, representing the main theme of the government, and it would be strange not to win the best feature film. Bai Yuhan came today for an excellent feature film.

In the second round, it was time for the competition for excellent feature films.

The difference in votes is not very large, 14 votes for "33 Days of Broken Love", 25 votes for "Earth-shattering", 26 votes for "Mulan", and 35 votes for "Chinese Partner".

"Congratulations to The Chinese Partner, the first excellent feature film. Okay, let's cast a second excellent feature film. ”

In the third round, there are three films left, and the competition begins.

"33 Days of Broken Love" has 13 votes, one vote less than the second round of voting, 36 votes for "Mulan", and 52 votes for "Earth-shattering", as if the previous votes for "Chinese Partner" were all transferred to "Earth-shattering". There's nothing greasy in this, Bai Yuhan didn't believe it when he was killed.

But fortunately, it didn't come in vain, the best director was given to him, and the excellent feature film also gave him a place, and Huang Xiaoming became the best actor, the 3O Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, Bai Yuhan is already the biggest winner. In the Chinese film industry, such a result is enough.

When the outstanding feature film received the award, Bai Yuhan did not go on stage, and Zhao Haicheng of China Film and Wang Zhongjun of Huayi Brothers came to the stage to accept the award as producers and delivered acceptance speeches. is nothing more than thanking organizations at all levels, thanking the director, thanking the actors, and thanking the behind-the-scenes, Balabala a lot of scenes.

So far, all the awards have been awarded, and the live broadcast of this award ceremony has come to an end. At the last moment, the host Jingwei read out the Organizing Committee of the Hundred Flowers Award, about the best supporting actress double yolk eggs, expressed respect for the public judges, and recognized the two best supporting actress awards.

In the applause, the representative of Jiangyin City, the flag of the Bonus Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, was handed over to the host city next year, Bai Yuhan's hometown, and the representative of Luzhou City, Hui'an. Next year, the 2O China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 28th China Film Golden Rooster Award Ceremony will be held in Luzhou, Hui'an.

……

After the ceremony ended, Bai Yuhan was blocked by reporters backstage. Domestic awards basically have no credibility, and there is little content that really reports on the film. Lace news is quite a bit produced. Celebrities can't be invited, awards have no gold content, and reporters are not motivated enough, so interviews have become routine.

However, Zhao Wei was sealed three times. Bai Yuhan, who won the best director, is still a good publicity point and has great interview value.

"This time you won the best director, which means that the public has high recognition of you as a director, and what is your mood for this recognition? Feeling stressed or motivated? "New. A reporter from Langwang asked.

Bai Yuhan said calmly: "There will be some pressure and motivation, but I think this is a game, the movie itself is also a game, and the audience who has been entertained will also treat it as a game, which cannot represent more meaning." I won't win the Hundred Flowers Award either. And if there is any change, I will continue to do my own thing. ”

"This year, several of your films are still killing each other, do you feel sorry that you failed to gather votes?" A reporter from Xinmin Weekly asked.

"No, if the audience likes it, make one or several films, it's all the same."

"If only one a year. Maybe there will be more awards and nominations, "Chinese Partner" and "33 Days of Broken Love" are both favorites to win awards, and next year's "Hypnosis Master" will definitely be a hit. ”

"It doesn't matter. I'm very quick at making movies, and I have a lot of scripts in my hand. If nothing else, there will be movies released every year, and by the way, we will see if we can win awards. ”

A reporter from Tencent Entertainment asked: ""You at the Same Table" has made rapid progress from start-up to completion, and it has been scheduled to be released on January 14, why should it be released when the Chinese New Year is approaching." Will there be some impact because of the Chinese New Year? ”

"During the New Year, the box office can be expected. And since January this year, the competition for film scheduling has not been very large. Wanhe Tianyi predicts here. Watching movies during the Spring Festival has become more and more a habit, and it should not have much impact on the box office. ”

casually dealt with some questions, Bai Yuhan didn't have the patience to continue answering, seeing that the time was about to reach ten o'clock, he wanted to rush back early, there were a lot of things waiting to be dealt with.

However, before he walked out of the new sports center, he received a notice from his assistant that Yang Zhiquan, deputy mayor of Luzhou Municipal Government, wanted to invite him to dinner. This face can't be missed, because when "You at the Same Table" was filmed in Luzhou, it was Yang Zhiquan who was in charge of government coordination and arranged logistics for the crew.

Soon, Bai Yuhan rushed to Yang Zhiquanding's hotel.

"Bai Dao, welcome, welcome." Yang Zhiquan looked like a good man, and with several representatives of the municipal government, he personally greeted the door of the hotel.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Bai Yuhan naturally greeted politely.

Ordering good food and smoking cigarettes, Yang Zhiquan congratulated Bai Yuhan on winning the best director, praised each other, and waited until the food was served and the wine was poured before he said the purpose of his treat. On behalf of the Luzhou Municipal Government, he wanted to invite Bai Yuhan to serve as the image ambassador of the 2O Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

"Please be an ambassador for the festival?" Bai Yuhan was a little surprised, and after a spin in his mind, he understood Xiao Jiujiu of the Luzhou Municipal Government.

First of all, Bai Yuhan is the most famous celebrity in the entertainment industry in Luzhou City, with a clear image and fame, and there is no negative news. Secondly, Bai Yuhan is an actor and a famous director, and his connections in the entertainment industry are not too extensive. Again, Bai Yuhan is also the boss of Wanhe Tianyi, a private entertainment company that attaches equal importance to Huayi Brothers, and has a huge influence.

Wooing Bai Yuhan to serve as the image ambassador, this time the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, if you want to invite stars from all walks of life, it is a simple thing. At the very least, Bai Yuhan's friends in the entertainment industry have to come over to cheer, and the artists that Wanhe Tianyi has worked with can't help but give face.

Not to mention, Bai Yuhan is now a famous director at the Asian level, and he has been mentioned in "Time Magazine", and he is a glittering business card when he is played.

"It's rare to hold a big event in my hometown, and I definitely want to support it, but I can't guarantee it now, because there is still a year to go, and I can't predict whether there will be a free time at that time. Mayor Yang, all I can say is that if I have time, I will not shirk, okay. ”

"Great, with your words, Brother Bai, I will rest assured, come, brother do it first as respect." (To be continued)
