Chapter 41: Me? Best Director?
Another award missed the crew of "Dream Chaser", and the movie starring the winner was still criticized by himself as "Nightclub" with no artistic value.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaofei's face was no longer visible.
His gaze subconsciously looked at the front row and stopped at Wu Shaolin's back.
It seems that he has found the backbone, and his mood is finally a little better.
These are just inconsequential small awards, it doesn't matter if you win them or not, the best director and best picture are what you should pay attention to.
Wu Xiaofei stabilized his mind and turned his attention to the next awards.
After speaking his acceptance speech, Xu Hongsheng stepped down from the stage with the trophy in his hand and returned to his seat.
"Lao Xu, show me!"
Zhou Wei took the trophy and turned it over and looked at it non-stop, the envy on her face was obvious.
The awards ceremony continues, and after the Best Supporting Actor Award, it is the turn of the Best Actor and Actress awards.
However, these two awards also have nothing to do with "Night Club", the actor award was won by "Twilight", and the actress award was won by "On the White Clouds".
This time, Wu Xiaofei couldn't stabilize his emotions when he said anything.
The Best Actor and Actress Award, this is already a grand prize, if it is placed in the main competition unit, the winners can be crowned with the title of actor and actress.
missed awards one after another, Wu Xiaofei not only lost his smile on his face, but his attitude gradually became impatient, and he was too lazy to behave.
Because of the vigorous promotion of Huanyu Film and Television, "Dream Chaser" has always been regarded as the favorite to win the award, but it really came to the awards ceremony, but it was repeatedly defeated, which made the expressions of everyone present become strange.
"What's the situation, Wu Xiaofei offended the judges?"
"Shouldn't it, Wu Shaolin is sitting in front, and the judges don't give him face so much?"
"You look at Wu Xiaofei's appearance, you can't laugh anymore, I guess he is scolding the street in his heart at this moment."
"Don't scold the street, so many nominations haven't won the award, he can't tell how anxious he is."
Wu Xiaofei has always been a young master's temper, relying on Wu Shaolin to support him, he usually doesn't know how many people he has offended, everyone doesn't dare to make any moves on the surface, but they are very dissatisfied with him in private.
Now that he has a foreign appearance, although he doesn't say that he has fallen into the well, it is inevitable to mutter a few words.
These voices faintly reached Wu Shaolin's ears, and the great director's already unhappy mood suddenly became even more irritable.
He came today to build momentum for Wu Xiaofei, not to embarrass people!
What are the judges of the newcomer unit doing? Is this a deliberate attempt to embarrass yourself?
Wu Shaolin turned his head slightly, frowned and looked at the chief judge Zhang Zhan, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Zhang Zhan didn't dodge or dodge, just met Wu Shaolin's gaze, and a smile appeared on his face, as if he didn't realize that the award result had embarrassed Wu Shaolin.
"Hmph."
In front of the public, Wu Shaolin could only hold back his anger in his heart, stared at Zhang Zhan twice, and moved his gaze back hatefully.
……
After awarding the two heavyweight awards of Best Actor and Actress, there were several lighter awards.
"The winner of the Best Cinematography award was ...... for "Dream Chaser"
The crew of "Dream Chaser" finally won the first award, and looking at the back of the photographer on stage to accept the award, Wu Xiaofei felt a little better.
The front may just be an accident, nothing more than missing a few small prizes, as long as you can get the next big prize, "Dream Chaser" is still the biggest winner tonight!
"Next up is the award for Best Screenplay."
Looking at the image of "Night Club" appearing in the short film playing on the screen, Fang Bo took a deep breath, expecting to hear his name.
"The winner is, Huang Yuan in "Twilight"!"
"Whew."
Hearing this result, Fang Bo shook his head, a little disappointed, but he could only choose to accept it.
Okay, it seems that the journey of "Nightclub" to the Yenching Film Festival is over.
He relaxed, and waited from the perspective of a spectator for the results of the final two prizes to be announced.
So far in the awards ceremony, the only awards that can be called the best director and the best film are the awards.
As the grand prize of the finale, no matter which one you win, you can become the winner of this year's newcomer unit, so several people who hope to win the award are unconsciously nervous.
"The nominees for the Best Director Award are, Wu Xiaofei in "Dream Chaser", Fang Bo in "Night Club", and ...... in "Twilight"
With the words of the guests, the screen began to play the nominated video.
The director of "Twilight" and Wu Xiaofei clenched their fists tightly, and the two of them were considered the strongest contenders for this award.
Although the performance of "Dream Chaser" tonight was a little unsatisfactory, everyone still felt that the best director would come out of the two, as for Fang Bo and the other director, they were just here to accompany them.
With a 1 in 2 probability, who will win?
After the guests on the stage opened the envelope and took out the card, they deliberately sold the guanzi, asking the people in the audience to guess whose name it would be first.
After whetting everyone's appetite, the guests picked up the envelope and just glanced at it, and immediately widened their eyes and let out an "ah".
Everyone in the audience thought he was deliberately playing tricks and urged him to announce the results quickly.
In the face of everyone's coaxing, the guests looked at it twice in disbelief to confirm that they were not mistaken, and then read: "The winner of the Best Director Award is Fang Bo of "Night Club"! ”
Fang, Fangbo?
Hearing this unfamiliar name, the hundreds of people in the hall were a little confused.
Didn't he come to accompany him? How did he get the grand prize?
Wu Xiaofei's face was pale, and he turned his head to look for the location of the crew of "Night Club" in the audience.
Wu Shaolin glanced at Zhang Zhan in disbelief.
You give the Best Director award to an obscure newcomer?!
Zhang Zhan shrugged.
Otherwise, is it for "Dream Chaser"?
……
"Director Fang, you've won the award, you've won the award!!"
Zhou Wei almost jumped up excitedly, and spoke loudly regardless of her image.
Xu Hongsheng couldn't care about the trophy in his hand, and grabbed Fang Bo's hand and shook it vigorously, "Director Fang, you won the Best Director Award!" ”
Best Director?
It's me?
Missed out on the Best Screenplay award you wanted to win, and ended up winning the Best Director Award that never had hope?
Fang Bo felt that his brain was almost overwhelmed.
Sitting in the seat and stunned, he accepted this sudden surprise in hindsight, got up and hugged Zhou Wei and Xu Hongsheng, and then walked towards the stage.
The camera followed him and showed his every move in the live broadcast.
"Look, my son has won the award!"
At home in Sichuan Province, watching Fang Bo receive the golden trophy from the award presenter, Fang's mother's tears flowed out uncontrollably, and she was sincerely happy for him.
"Don't cry, don't cry, my son has a chance, it's a good thing."
Dad Fang said, but quietly raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, then took out two tissues and handed them to Fang's mother, who was crying with joy.
