Chapter 208: Tonight, the Legend Sets Sail (2-in-1)
Who is the youngest best director in the history of the Pegasus Awards? How old is it?
Coincidentally, it was director Chen Deyue, who won his first Pegasus Award for Best Director at the age of 30, and also broke the record.
But now, even Chen Deyue couldn't help but turn his head, saluted Wang Wei, a super young junior, and said to himself: "It's really good! This year's jury is really a newcomer! β
ββIn terms of qualifications, Wang and Shen are both proper newcomers in front of him!
Thinking of his experience of being frequently rejected by the Tianma Awards in his twenties, Rao has already mixed up, and director Chen Deyue expressed envy for the current young people.
Although he knew that the Film Association might want to bring out a "new king of the times", he still felt that it was a bit too much-
The best director at the age of 23, can you believe it?
is different from Shen Zhenyi - her most shocking thing is that she won the best supporting actress and the best actress at the same time, not the same super young age.
For actors, as long as they find a good role, have good talent, and add a little luck, even if they are young, they may win awards.
You see, she's now the youngest Pegasus Award actress, but she's still not the youngest Pegasus Award-winning actor β after all, there's more than one child star who has won Best Supporting Actress.
But directing is different, directing is a profession that requires accumulation.
23 years old? The average director hasn't even stepped out of school yet, and even a talented newcomer may only rack his brains to shoot his first short film at this age.
So Chen Deyue couldn't imagine that anyone else could break Wang Wei's record.
It's good to be young!
In addition to such feelings, Director Chen Da no longer knows how to evaluate the successive accidents tonight.
The great directors who have been through the storm for a long time are so surprised, let alone others.
"Is the Pegasus Award crazy?"
"This year's jury is based on faces, right?"
There is Shen Zhenyi's history in the past, and Wang Wei's historic breakthrough in the back, which is almost incredible for a film award that has been criticized for being more than conservative!
But all this happened so unreasonably, of course, people will be amazed!
Just look at the other two of the three major directors of the new generation -
Luo Jianzhou couldn't maintain his composure, and it could be seen that his mouth was obviously saying "special" and other national scoldings; Song Zhicheng's smile also became very reluctant-
Wang Wei's award directly opened a gap with them!
Yes, it doesn't matter if you're behind for a while, you won't win until the end.
The problem is, the other party is several years younger than them! Who can compare this TMD to him "last"?
Gan!
Of course, they don't have to worry about their gaffes being noticed, because the mood of the audience in front of the TV is also not calm.
"! Isn't this a joke? β
"Is this still the Pegasus Awards, and you love newcomers so much?"
"Wang Wei is rich, he spent money to buy all the judges......
In thousands of homes, countless voices questioned the television, and the ratings soared to the highest level in nearly a decade!
- When Shen Zhenyi unexpectedly won the Best Supporting Actress, this Tianma Awards ceremony attracted a large number of audiences; When Shen Zhenyi made persistent efforts to win the Best Actress, the number of viewers rose sharply; When Wang Wei won the best director for the first time in his early twenties, the number of viewers soared again, and there was no sign of decline.
If that's what the Pegasus organizers wanted, they undoubtedly succeeded.
In the major discussion boards of the Internet, exclamation posts have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain-
"It's so surprising, is the jury crazy?"
"Does this mean the beginning of the Wang Wei era? No, it should be said that it is the era of newcomers! β
"Director Wang is mighty! The princess is mighty! Together, they made history! β
ββ¦β¦β
Online and offline disturbed and did not mention it, and Wang Wei at this moment was also in great surprise.
Although he had a certain hunch, after it really became a reality, his mind was only blank!
As a director, there's no one who doesn't want to win the best director.
And God knows, this is the first time in his life that he has touched the "Best Director", and it is not a pheasant award, but the first film award in the Eastern world, which is on par with the Oscars.
So much so that he subconsciously stood up, but he just stood there in a daze, and after a while, he didn't have the slightest intention of going to the stage to accept the award.
"What are you thinking? It's time for you to take the stage and claim your prize! β
Shen Zhenyi patted Wang Wei on the shoulder, which brought Wang Wei, who was still distracted, back to his senses.
- yes, anyway, the best director is mine!
Joy surged from Wang Wei's heart, he adjusted his mood a little, hugged Shen Zhenyi who was standing beside him, and then walked to the center of the stage.
The trophy of the Pegasus Award is beautifully made, a golden Pegasus steps on auspicious clouds, spreads its wings high, and the trophy itself is much more beautiful than the "little golden man" of the Oscars.
Of course, more important is the honor of its representatives.
Wang Wei weighed his weight, causing a burst of chuckles from the audience, before approaching the microphone, "Xiaozhen is right, this year's jury is even bolder than I imagined!" And the luck she shared with me seemed to be too effective! β
The couple openly sprinkled dog food on such an occasion, some laughed, and some couldn't help but boo.
Wang Wei was not affected at all, and made a regular thank-you speech, only showing his edge at the end: "...... 23 years old is a great age to imagine for the future, so I'll be back! β
After speaking, he bowed slightly in the loud applause, turned around and stepped off the stage.
No one thinks he's arrogant, and some even think he's too "modest".
After all, no matter what you think or think, he who wins the best director will inevitably carry the banner of the domestic film industry, who dares to limit his future?
At the age of 23, he is qualified to be young and frivolous!
It's just that, for his contemporaries, his declaration is more of a nightmare -
This guy has exploded at the box office all over the world, and now he has won one of the best honors in the field of Chinese and even world films, becoming a leader in the far lead, and leaving his own mark in the times;
In this race, he has been one step ahead and ahead everywhere, and if he does not relax at all, his contemporaries may really be pressed under this mountain for the rest of their lives.
But at this moment, both convinced and unconvinced subconsciously applauded Wang Wei who stepped off the stage, and the applause lasted for up to a minute, until Wang Wei returned to his seat, which gradually stopped.
The applause stopped, but the turmoil in my heart remained for a long time.
This made it to the final and most exciting award, Best Picture, which almost no one cared about.
Speaking of which, this year's best film is a little sad, with the previous two "newcomer kings" who have created history, no matter who wins it, its influence is only difficult to match the previous ones.
Shen Zhenyi's two mentions and two hits, Wang Wei's unbreakable record, is really too gimmicky!
You see, the crew of "Lamb" is very excited - because no matter who wins the best picture, it will not affect them to become the biggest winners of this awards ceremony, if it is not the end of the ceremony, they can't help but cheer.
Still, there are people who care.
For the other nominees, the last big award is their last chance.
It can even be said that it is their greatest chance!
"Divide pork" so far, the situation has basically become clear - several blockbuster individual awards have been won by the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs";
The last piece of blockbuster "pork" should fall to their crews who have multiple nominations, but only one or two inconsequential technical awards.
It's not surprising that some people think this way - the origin of the "pork split" of the film awards is to ensure that all the relatively best actors and works are encouraged to continue to participate in the film awards in order to maintain their influence;
Falling in a country that emphasizes compromise and balance, it makes the awarding of the major awards of the Tianma Awards always have various considerations, and there are few grand slams.
Even if it was Dunhuang's original idea, it was also based on this line of thought - in addition to the technical awards that are difficult to say, the best female lead and the best actor should be able to win, and the best director is estimated to have no play, and the final best film will have a good chance to compete.
Of course, now from best cinematography to best director, in the four consecutive "Lamb", I don't want to think about the best film, and I also have the leisure to "watch the show".
The final presenter slowly introduced the nominated film, keeping the suspense until the end, and thenβ
"Best Picture, 'The Silence of the Lambs'!"
Boom, the scene suddenly exploded.
These filmmakers sitting in the audience can be said to be the people who pay the most attention to their manners under the camera, but at this moment, the scene suddenly became noisy.
People were either surprised or stunned, and couldn't help whispering to each other, and some even half-stood up and looked at the crew of "The Lamb".
But everyone in the crew of "Lamb" no longer cares about other people's eyes - they never expected to see themselves when they watched the play!
A "Best Picture" made everyone stunned at first, and after reacting, someone couldn't help but jump up: "Great!" The winner turned out to be us!! β
These words succeeded in blackening the faces of several other nominees.
It's a pity that at this time, no one looks at the bitter faces of the disappointed anymore, and almost all the cameras are aimed at the cheering "Lamb" crew.
Shen Zhenyi suppressed the urge to scream, put her arms around Wang Wei's neck sideways, and said excitedly: "We still won!" Won to the end! β
Wang Wei's handsome face unabashedly bloomed with a bright smile, "Yes, we really won to the end!" β
On the contrary, Comrade Wang, who was shouting at the beginning to win the last four blockbuster awards in one fell swoop, stood there stupidly, his mouth slightly open, and his facial expression was stunned, showing the extreme shock in his heart at this moment-
Oh, my God! I'm just setting a goal, isn't there always a distance between the goal and reality?
So, is it that the public relations is too good, or is my insistence on three sticks of incense every morning and evening that moves God?
Just as bewildered as he was shocked, stunned, and incredulous...... and so on, I don't know how many kinds of psychological activities of the scene insiders;
They whispered or frowned...... A thousand words are reduced to just one sentence - why?
Why are you able to break the traditional conventions of the Pegasus Awards?
Why can you be able to take almost everything in a selection that is not universally invincible?
Even those who support Dunhuang can't help but feel a joyful worry-
This is certainly better than the failure of the nominations, but not too good!?
Wang and Shen have already done what many people can't do in a lifetime, and the only thing that surrounds them next is flowers and praise, what else can they desire in the future?
They are only in their early twenties, and they have already received so many honors, can the spiritual world bear the burden behind these glories? Will you be able to survive the storm after tonight?
These people didn't know for a moment whether the jury of this year's Pegasus Awards was killing them or not.
And Wang Wei also flashed such a thought in his heart, but even if he killed, he could only go all over now.
The best picture is that he, the first producer, took the stage to accept the award.
When he stood on the podium again, all the noise disappeared.
Most of the people in the audience squinted their eyes and looked at Wang Wei with a new eye-
Of course, they were very familiar with this young man before today, he was like a walking humanoid money printing machine, and he had never missed a movie, and he exploded wherever he went, but before that, even the people who were most optimistic about him did not expect that he was just 23 years old, and he already had the ability to conquer the Pegasus Award!
Ten mentions and five awards, and they are all blockbuster awards, there is no doubt that this year's Tianma Award belongs to this young man!
Tonight, the legend sets sail!
Under the scorching gaze, Wang Wei took the trophy, walked to the microphone, paused, and said seriously: "Thank you to the jury, thank you to all the judges of the Film Association, thank you for giving me such high recognition!" β
"Really, I was so moved that I didn't even know how to repay this affirmation - but when I stood on this stage, I suddenly understood that you are seniors and leaders, and you don't need our return, but you want to see us young, representing the future, and contributing all our talents to the film industry that everyone loves so much, which in itself is the best reward!"
"All the honors won by "The Silence of the Lambs" are not only an encouragement to our young team, but also an encouragement to all young people who want to enter the movie theater! We will strive to make better movies to repay the trust and encouragement of our predecessors! Thanks again! β
- If this is a normal selection, then this is probably what they want to see;
- If this is a killing, then let the young people follow in my footsteps and take their place!
Wang Wei thought silently in his heart, raised the trophy in his hand, and greeted all the audience.
Applause surrounded him!
The 52nd Pegasus Awards Ceremony has come to a successful conclusion.
β¦β¦
At the party behind the awards ceremony, Wang Wei, Shen Zhenyi and the main creators of the "Lamb" crew just appeared, and they were quickly surrounded by waves of congratulatory crowds.
When the crowd gradually dispersed, Wang Wei noticed that several crews who secretly chewed on the taste of loss had quietly left, but Luo Yuehui, the chairman of Tang Yu Media and media tycoon, had never left.
Moreover, after seeing that Wang Wei's side was empty, he walked over here with a slightly mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Two young legends, would you like to find a place to talk with me, an old manβabout tonight's phenomenon, about the wind direction of Huayu, and about the future of Dunhuang."
Wang Wei and Shen Zhenyi glanced at each other, and nodded at the same time with unconcealed curiosity: "I can't ask for it, Chairman Luo, please!" β
