Chapter Ninety-Five: The End
"The nominees for Best Actor at the 12th Kyoto University Student Film Festival are, please watch the big screen: Xia Yu in the movie "Waiting Alone", Wu Jun in the movie "Zhang Side", Zhou Xiaobin in the movie "Unforgettable", Cheng Long in the movie "New Police Story", and Lin Yuquan in the movie "Huo Yuanjia".
"Who is the winner?"
The camera at the scene quickly switched to Lin Yuquan and Xia Yu, and Cheng Long did not come to the scene tonight because he was busy shooting movies.
In the predictions of media reporters, Lin Yuquan and Cheng Long are the most optimistic, among which Huo Yuanjia played by the former is lifelike, showing the demeanor of a generation of grandmasters vividly, while Chen Guorong played by Cheng Long has been quite successful in portraying the meticulous psychology of a good policeman under many encounters, and the two are the two most famous among the nominees.
Among the other three, Xia Yu may become a powerful spoiler, the young and famous Venice International Film Festival Best Actor and the youngest Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards, the double winner of the Best Actor, not to mention the acting strength, although the "Waiting Alone" starring him has not yet been officially released, but it was well received during the college screening at the Kyoto University Student Film Festival, with its witty and humorous plot, favored by young audiences, and is considered by many media to be one of the best Chinese films in 2005, And Xia Yu's interpretation in it is also highly praised.
In the camera, Xia Yu obviously looked nervous, staring at the big screen with a grim face and motionless, his body trembling slightly, while Lin Yuquan was much more relaxed, his job was a director, so he didn't have much pursuit of acting awards, he was naturally light without pressure, and he was talking to Xu Jinglei next to him with a smile on his face, guessing who was the final winner.
"The winner of the Best Actor at the 12th Beijing University Student Film Festival is Lin Yuquan from the movie "Huo Yuanjia".
Lin Yuquan got up with a smile and hugged Xu Jinglei beside him.
"Director Lin, congratulations, you are the most beautiful person tonight." Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to shake hands and congratulate.
"Thank you! But it would be nice if he could win the Best Director award again. Lin Yuquan smiled, Feng Xiaogang was also a nominee for the Best Director Award.
"Congratulations, Director Lin, compared to your excellent acting skills, I'm embarrassed to say that I am a professional actor." Li Binbin shook hands with Lin Yuquan and joked.
"Sister Binbin, you're welcome, being able to appear in so many film and television dramas is already the best proof." Lin Yuquan smiled and shook his head.
"Congratulations, Director Lin, I hope you will keep up your good work." Liu Ruoying's smile is very comfortable.
"Did Director Feng hear that? Thank you, Milk Tea, it's a pity that I can't wish you to win the Best Actress Award next! β
Lin Yuquan smiled brightly, Liu Ruoying realized the problem, and as soon as she lowered her head, she saw Feng Xiaogang looking at her fiercely, and immediately ignored Lin Yuquan's ridicule, and hurriedly sat down in a panic.
Of course, Feng Xiaogang is not really angry, in fact, he has no hope for the best director at all.
After Lin Yuquan waved his hand to the audience behind him, he went straight to the stage to receive the trophy and award certificate.
"Since I said it, I have to do it, or the same as the first three times, thank you!"
After saying this, Lin Yuquan returned to his seat with the trophy and award certificate.
"It seems that my guess is right, you really won the award, wait for me to dinner next night!" Xu Jinglei said with a smile, she and Lin Yuquan just bet that there are three awards left for the Best Actor and Actress Award and the Best Director Award nominated by her and Lin Yuquan, and whoever wins the award will invite you to dinner.
"That's not necessarily, the Best Actress award will be given immediately, and if you win, we'll be even." Lin Yuquan said slowly.
"You will definitely be disappointed, the award of the film festival is actually no different from sharing the cake, you are a piece, he is a piece, you need to maintain a balance, we can get one of the four most important awards, it's already good, don't count on the Best Actress Award and the Best Director Award." Xu Jinglei has participated in many film festivals and is well versed in the unspoken rules.
Of course, Lin Yuquan understands this truth, but a good film often breaks a rule, even if there is little hope now, he still has a glimmer of hope, after all, compared with the films that were also nominated, the excellent box office results of "Huo Yuanjia" are beyond their reach.
Just in the expectation of everyone, the award ceremony continued.
"The following is the Best Actress Award, and the Best Actor nomination at the 12th Kyoto University Student Film Festival is, please look at the big screen: Jiang Qingqing from the movie "Sister Dictionary", Liu Ruoying from the movie "No Thieves in the World", Zhang Jingchu from the movie "The Bride with a Flower Waist", and Xu Jinglei from the movie "Huo Yuanjia".
After the voice of the presenter, the voiceover on the big screen began to sound, and the scene of the camera flashed on the faces of the four people, especially in Xu Jinglei and Zhang Jingchu, the two are the most promising contenders for the Best Actress Award, each in "Huo Yuanjia" and "The Bride with a Flower Waist" have completely subverted the previous image, one will be the image of a female reporter who has returned from studying abroad vividly and vividly, giving people a deep impression, and the other has changed the consistent image of demure and introverted, and the warm and beautiful beauty of a rural girl The unrestrained expression is in place.
In the media's prediction, if there is no accident, the award will be born between the two, and at this time, the eyes of many celebrity guests also fell on the two.
"Who's going to do it? She is Zhang Jingchu. β
Zhang Jingchu covered her mouth, looking unconfident, and then hugged her friends excitedly, and then walked quickly to the podium with the corner of her skirt.
"Senior sister, it's okay, after the awards ceremony in the evening, I will invite you to have a big meal, whatever you want to eat, anyway, I am ready to be slaughtered by you." Lin Yuquan comforted that since he hadn't watched "The Bride with a Flower Waist", he couldn't comment on whether Zhang Jingchu was worthy of the award of Best Actress.
"Hehe, it's good to know, I'm waiting for your words, I just happen to know a high-end Western restaurant private cuisine, the dishes in it are not the most delicious, only the most expensive, and it will be open until two o'clock in the morning, so there is no problem to go after the award ceremony." Although she was a little disappointed in her heart, Xu Jinglei still said with a smile.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten Western food, so let's decide!" Of course, Lin Yuquan would not be stupid enough to deny Xu Jinglei's mention at this time, and he is not a picky eater, although he prefers Chinese food better than Western food, but it seems that it is good to eat Western food occasionally.
"Well, it's time for the Best Director award." Xu Jinglei took a deep look at Zhang Jingchu, who was stepping down.
Lin Yuquan nodded and looked at the host who walked up to the stage.
The competition for the best director this time can be described as very fierce, in addition to himself, Feng Xiaogang, Fang Gangliang, Lu Chuan, every director nominated for the nomination is quite good, among which Fang Gangliang and Lu Chuan are still his seniors, the two are also from the directing department of Kyoto Film Academy, and even Lin Yuquan took Fang Gangliang's class when he was in film school, and the other party stayed in the academy to teach after graduation.
For directors, the most important awards are the Best Director Award and the Best Film awards, with which every director wants to prove himself.
Lin Yuquan may not really care about it before, he just thinks it is a rare honor, but after the previous change of thinking, now he has regarded himself as a real showbiz person, and his mood is naturally very different, and his face suddenly tensed at this time.
When the award host spoke, Lin Yuquan couldn't help but look at Feng Xiaogang beside him.
It just so happened that Feng Xiaogang's eyes also looked at him, and seeing that Lin Yuquan seemed to care very much, Feng Xiaogang smiled open-mindedly: "When the judges of the Kyoto University Student Film Festival select the best director and the best film, they pay more attention to the connotation and artistry of the film, it seems that there is nothing to do with the two of us, Lu Chuan and Fang Gangliang's "Ke Ke Xili" and "On the Way to School" this time are very appetizing to the judges, it depends on who the two of them die, I think Lu Chuan is more likely, this movie has a very in-depth interpretation of human nature, is a film about the state of human existence, and from the perspective of concept, it is obviously higher than "On the Way to School". β
Since "Ke Ho Xili" is also invested and produced by Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang knows a lot about the film, and this is not only his personal opinion, in the previous internal discussion meeting of Huayi Brothers, everyone's opinion is almost unanimous in opinion.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, the voice of the award presenter sounded: "Who is the winner of the Best Director Award?" Let us applaud and invite Director Lu Chuan to come to the stage to accept the award. β
Lin Yuquan spread his hands and said to Xu Jinglei and Feng Xiaogang: "Okay, what you both said is right, I am naΓ―ve, and I still have a glimmer of hope." β
"It's too late to say anything, just prepare the banknotes and invite me to dinner later." Xu Jinglei smiled smugly.
"Oh, you're going to eat after the award ceremony, can you count me as one, I'm actually hungry too." Feng Xiaogang looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, of course he didn't eat because he was eating, but if he ate, he could eat when he went home, but because of the relationship between the two.
"Senior sister, I said I would invite you to dinner, you can get an idea!" Lin Yuquan looked at Xu Jinglei fixedly.
"Of course you are welcome, everyone will eat together to be more lively." Xu Jinglei smiled at Feng Xiaogang, and then looked at Lin Yuquan narrowly: "You are really, are you so reluctant to invite me to dinner?" I have to make up my mind, and then I feel embarrassed to save you from having a treat, but I'm disappointed, you can't get away with this meal. β
"This is also seen by you, and sure enough, you can't hide anything from the senior sister's sharp eyes."
"You treat me as a monkey!"
Feng Xiaogang watched it from the sidelines.
