China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 854 Competition at the Hundred Flowers Awards

At 7 o'clock that evening, the lights in the lecture hall of Shaoxing International Convention and Exhibition Center poured down like a galaxy of stars. After the speeches of the leaders and the organizing committee, this year's Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards entered the formal award ceremony.

The first award to be presented was the Best Newcomer Award.

The award presenters came on stage and the list of nominations scrolled across the big screen.

There are five people in total, namely Li 吳, Zhang Zifeng, Hu Ge, Li Ai and Yang Zhi.

The nominated films of several people are also well-known to the audience. Li Wei played Yang Kaihui in "The Founding of a Party", Zhang Zifeng played the young Fang Deng in the movie "Aftershock", Hu Ge played Lin Juemin in the movie "The Revolution of 33", Li Ai played Eva in the movie "Go Lala Goes to Work", and Yang Zhi played Li Ke in "Love Is Not Blind".

Among these people, Sun Yi only knew Li Wei, Zhang Zifeng, Hu Ge and Yang Zhi.

The only one who can be said to be familiar with it is Yang Zhi, after all, it is a movie produced by his own company.

At that time, after Sun Yi and Teacher Xue had decided on several leading roles, he did not express any opinions on other supporting roles. Unexpectedly, Teacher Xue found Yang Zhi in his alma mater.

Sun Yi is still very optimistic about this level 10 junior sister. Her future achievements are already high. With the bonus of the starry sky, even if she can't reach the level of Liu Tianxian, she will at least be the next Yang Mi.

I heard that Yang Fan is communicating with her family about the signing, and the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement. When she is a junior next year, the school will give the green light directly. By then, Starry Sky will be able to sign another potential stock.

Now Sun Yi is ready to take root in Beijing Film Academy, make full use of the resources of his alma mater, support his junior fellow students, strengthen cooperation with his alma mater, and assimilate into the Beijing circle step by step.

While Sun Yi was thinking about Yang Zhi and the company's future plans, Liu Yifei was stunned when she saw Hu Ge on the nomination list. She grabbed Sun Yi's hand and asked in a low voice:

"Hugo, is he still the best newcomer?"

Sun Yi was stunned by the question.

What else?!

"Sister, this is a film award, not a TV drama award. This is his first time being nominated on the big screen."

Maybe it's because Hu Ge has acted in too many TV dramas and is very well-known, so in the audience's mind, the word "newcomer" really doesn't apply to him, otherwise Liu Tianxian wouldn't have asked this question.

She didn't react either.

But, what is your attitude? How dare you glare at me? Don’t you know that we still have some accounts to settle?

Liu Yifei gritted her teeth, puffed her cheeks, and looked at Sun Yi with a snort.

"What do you mean?"

"I, no~"

Sun Yi said he felt very wronged.

He was really just asked this question suddenly, and then he replied in shock. Maybe his expression was a bit exaggerated, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by the girl.

"Sissi, really not~"

"Really?"

"Um!!"

I really don't mean anything!
Sun Yi nodded repeatedly like a chick eating rice. At this moment, his desire to survive reached its peak.

"Oh~" Liu Yifei and Sun Yi looked at each other for a moment, a brainstorm went on in their heads, and then she raised the corners of her mouth as if she understood, and hummed softly: "You are jealous."

"Who is it? Yes, yes, yes."

Not to mention, Sun Yi didn't have this idea originally, but when the girl mentioned it, he thought of the scene in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" where the girl raised her little face and sweetly called "Brother Xiaoyao", and he really felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Am I really jealous?

Sun Yi was a little confused, but he clearly didn't have this idea just now.

Forget it, just go down the stairs. It’s better than kneeling on the washboard when I get home at night.

Sun Yi simply nodded in acknowledgment. Just then, the award presenter began to announce the results, attracting Liu Yifei's attention.

"The winner of the Best Newcomer Award at the 31st Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards is Zhang Zifeng."

"With her wonderful performance in 'Aftershock', she showed us the extremely infectious portrayal of details. I can say that this is one of the most memorable child performances in the history of Chinese entertainment films, considering that she was only 9 years old at the time. Let us welcome Xiaozi Feng to the stage." There was applause from the audience, and Sun Yi also applauded. To be honest, the girl's performance in "Aftershock" was indeed enchanting.

Sun Yi is also a director, so he has a lot of say in this regard.

For directors, there are only two types of actors that are the most difficult to deal with: animal actors and child actors.

Not to mention animals, as they are born different species, they can only rely on animal trainers.

But sometimes it’s very embarrassing. Just because the trainer understands, it doesn’t mean the animal understands.

As for child actors, they are even more of a headache for directors because due to their cognition and age, they often find it difficult to understand what the director needs to show to the audience in this play.

I can’t hit them or scold them. I can only patiently explain things over and over again, and even express and coax them in a way that little kids can understand. In a word, it’s very tiring.

Sun Yi had no good idea in this regard and could only try again and again, hoping that one day the young actor would have a flash of inspiration and give him the result he wanted, just like he had guessed it.

But the performance of this young girl Zhang Zifeng was really impressive, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was gifted. Judging from the results of her performance, she truly understood director Feng Xiaogang's requirements and gave feedback that exceeded the director's expectations, creating a classic in film history.

Especially her evil smile in "Detective Chinatown" later on, which was also a textbook performance.

Sun Yi sighed for a moment, but then he also thought of "Detective Chinatown", the first IP of domestic comedy detective movies in later generations. It seems that Starry Sky cannot miss it, and it can be built into a series of IPs of Starry Sky.

Well, Teacher Chen, I’m really sorry.

Just as Sun Yi was thinking, Xiaozi Feng on the stage had already picked up the trophy that was as long as her forearm and was giving his acceptance speech.

"Thank you Director Feng Xiaogang for choosing me to play this role. Thank you to all the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in the crew. I caused you a lot of trouble at the time. I also want to thank the organizing committee. I will definitely continue to work hard in the future."

The tender child's voice brought out kind smiles from the audience. Even Liu Yifei looked like a mother with stars in her eyes.

For a moment, she suddenly thought, it would be great if she also had such an outstanding daughter.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at Sun Yi, who was confused again.

What happened again?

Humph, you don't understand romance, I won't have any more children~
If Sun Yi knew what he had lost at this moment, he would probably regret it to death.

The award ceremony continued, and the second award, Best Screenplay, was won by the crew of "Aftershock".

The whole audience was complimenting Feng Xiaogang. He had 8 nominations tonight, the same number as Sun Yi's "Gravity".

You should know that this year's Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films has only 10 awards in total, one of which is the Lifetime Achievement Award. In other words, the actual number of awards that can be won is only 9.

9 awards, 8 nominations, this is the showdown between Feng Xiaogang and Sun Yi tonight.

Although he failed at the box office, Mr. Feng will not give up easily when it comes to awards.

At present, he is leading 2-0.

Next up are several major awards including Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture.

He didn't dare to guarantee a win for acting, but judging from the surface, he thought he was better than Sun Yi.

There is no Best Actor award, and the same goes for Sun Yi's "Gravity". The focus is on the Best Actress, but this award has a nomination from his wife Xu Fan, so Feng Xiaogang is full of confidence.

As a well-known veteran actor in the domestic entertainment industry, Xu Fan's strength is unquestionable.

Although she has appeared in fewer works after marrying Feng Xiaogang, she has not completely retired from the circle. Whenever there is a good role, Xu Fan will come out to experience it.

You know, she is the winner of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress four times, and has also won the Best Actress award at the Cairo International Film Festival, an international A-level film festival. She is also one of the best Chinese-speaking actresses.

Only Gong Li and Zhang Manyu dared to say that they had definitely suppressed her.

What's more, the female lead in "Aftershock" was basically tailor-made for her by Feng Xiaogang, so no one would believe that she had no ambition to win awards.

Even Sun Yi was not absolutely sure about the girl. Her performance in "Gravity" was indeed brilliant, but Sun Yi was not sure whether she could suppress Xu Fan in an absolute sense.

Now, we can only wait for the final selection of the jury.
