I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 176
This Baihua Film Festival is very fancy, the red carpet is placed on the West Lake Baiti and Broken Bridge!

Unlike other film festivals, where ceremonial cars are used to transport stars to the starting point of the red carpet, everyone is allowed to take a boat, disembark from the West Lake, and walk on the red carpet!

The red carpet was also decorated in a very fancy way, and it was specially named - Baihua Avenue.

There were flowers on both sides, and 101 children, dressed as flowers, stood on both sides of the red carpet and shouted welcome!
Although it is very fancy, the effect is a mess!

The children are lively by nature. They followed the instructions and shouted welcome in the front, but started playing with each other in the back.

101 children were playing with each other, making Baihua Avenue look like a kindergarten school.

If there are children, there will naturally be parents. Hundreds of parents keep their eyes on the 101 children.

All 101 children were dressed the same and had blush on their faces. As a result, most parents couldn't tell which one was their child. After looking around for a while and unable to find it, they started shouting.

Forget about the noise, the main reason for the mess was that there were too few big-name celebrities coming.

Without big-name celebrities, there would be very few fans and spectators at the scene, which would have a chain reaction, resulting in not many journalists coming.

Except for Xie Tingfeng, Chen Kun, Fan Bayi and other relatively popular celebrities, when the rest of them walked on the red carpet, the atmosphere around them was very cold. There were no cheers, no shouts, only sporadic flashing lights!

Wan Qingshan, Zeng Li, and Zhang Jin can be said to be the three biggest celebrities among the stars, and there are quite a few fans who came to the scene specifically for them.

In addition, the three of them are also very popular with the public. When they finally appeared, they received warm cheers from the audience and fans on both sides!

But the fans were too enthusiastic, and there were few security guards prepared for the Baihua Film Festival, which led to an accident.

The three of them walked to the middle of the red carpet and slowed down to let reporters take photos. A fan rushed past the security guards and broke into the red carpet!

When Wan Qingshan saw that a few fans had just rushed past the security guard, he quickly said to Zhang Jin, "Zhang Jin, you can handle it."

After saying that, Wan Qingshan turned around and took Zeng Li, who was holding his arm, and walked forward quickly while whispering,
"Go faster. If there are too many people rushing in at once, it will be troublesome."

Zeng Li was immediately frightened and turned pale. She knew that there were female artists in the industry who were surrounded by others.

Zeng Li was so frightened that she didn't even need Wan Qingshan to lead Zeng Li away with his hands, she just trotted away.

After approaching the end of the red carpet, Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li stopped and stood aside waiting for Zhang Jin.

After a while, Zhang Jin, whose suit was a little messy, came over.

Then, the three of them walked into the camera with smiles and walked on stage!
After a few brief interviews, the three Wan Qingshan people left their signatures on the posters on the signature wall, and then entered the auditorium under the leadership of the staff.

It was a mess outside and a bit messy inside the auditorium!

When Wan Qingshan came in, he saw celebrities being interviewed by reporters, and some celebrities were surrounded by security guards who had already bought tickets.

Wan Qingshan took a quick glance and saw many spectators rushing past the security guards and running toward them a few meters away.

Wan Qingshan stopped quickly, turned around and saw a large pillar nearby.

Wan Qingshan pulled Zeng Li towards the pillar and greeted Zhang Jin, "Zhang Jin, come here quickly!"

When dozens of spectators gathered around like zombies, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Jin protected Zeng Li on the left and right, with their backs against the pillars.

Amid the screams, Wan Qingshan felt countless hands pulling on him.

There were only a few screams. His eyes were fixed on the Wanqing Mountain in front of Zeng Li, and he saw several hands reaching towards Zeng Li.

Wan Qingshan quickly stretched out his hand to block it, and at the same time leaned his body in front of Zeng Li.

For a moment, after Wan Qingshan blocked countless hands, a large group of security guards ran in at the entrance.

A large group of security guards immediately dispersed to rescue the surrounded celebrities. Four or five of them rescued the Wan Qingshan trio and escorted them to the backstage lounge.

Audiences can rush past security guards to surround artists. Audiences who are not Baihua Film Festival are crazier than audiences at other film festivals!
But there are too few security guards in the auditorium. With just a few security guards, the audience can rush over.

Those fans who are crazy about idols and some people who want to take advantage of female celebrities will certainly take action when they see such a good opportunity.

In the lounge, a group of artists were finishing their makeup.

"What is this called!"

Wan Qingshan, who was arranging his suit, listened to the complaint and looked along the sound.

Then, Wan Qingshan immediately looked away and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

When Wanqingshan looked over, many people also followed the sound.

Then, one of them couldn't hold back his smile.

"Pfft! He,, he,, he,, he!"

Sun Li lowered her head and suppressed her laughter, but intermittent laughter still came out of her mouth!
Xu Ruoxuan, who had complained just now, glared and said loudly, "You are so ridiculous!"

Xu Ruoxuan was wearing a long white dress with a tube top, but there were two oily handprints on the slightly raised part of her chest.

So when everyone saw me just now, they all wanted to laugh.

Sun Li's laughter disappeared immediately, and she looked at Xu Ruoxuan with blank eyes, and then looked at the people around her who were just hanging up and fixing their makeup without having anything else to do.

Seeing that no one was helping to speak, Sun Li could only apologize quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Hmph!" Xu Ruoxuan snorted coldly, and walked out of the backstage room with high heels. She couldn't wear her clothes anymore, so she had to ask the staff to change her clothes.

Although Xu Ruoxuan left, what happened just now left everyone in no mood to talk and only focused on finishing their makeup.

Zhang Jin straightened the front of the suit, and then, when he was about to turn around and ask Zeng Li to help with the back, he found Zeng Li standing behind Wan Qing, straightening Wan Qingshan's back.

It's more like stroking than tidying up. Coupled with the gentle expression on Zeng Li's face and the eyes full of deep love, this scene looks like a virtuous wife helping her husband tidy up his clothes.

Zhang Jin was very surprised.

Although the scandal between Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li has been constant, he stayed on the set of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" for more than two months and did not find anything unusual about the relationship between Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li.

So he didn't take the scandal between Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li seriously, but now this scene made him know that his previous thoughts were probably wrong. ,
Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around, took off his suit and prepared to tidy up himself.

As soon as he took off his suit, Zhang Jin suddenly noticed Fan Bayi and Yuan Li standing on the side.

He found that Fan Bayi and several others could see Zeng Li and Fan Wanqingshan when they looked over from here.

Then, he thought that the scandal between Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li was probably true, but what about the scandal between him and Fan Bayi?

Although he did not find any intimate behavior between Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi during the filming of "Ip Man", Zeng Li and Wan Qingshan also did not have any intimate behavior on the set of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness".

Then, Zhang Jin thought about how Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan had whispered next to each other in the waiting room before, and Fan Bayi had a fight with Chen Yumo at the Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner. In addition, Fan Bayi Like Zeng Li, the company is owned by Qingshan Film and Television Company.

So, he quickly took a step forward and stood between Fan Bayi, Zeng Li and Wan Qingshan, so that when Fan Bayi looked over from here, he could not see Wan Qingshan and Zeng Li.

After everyone finished finishing their makeup, they did not go out immediately, but sat down to rest.

After waiting for a while, the staff came in and asked everyone to go out, and then everyone got up and walked out of the backstage room.

While everyone was in the backstage room, the organizers of the Baihua Film Festival discussed for a while and decided to cancel reporters' interviews with artists in the auditorium. At the same time, they arranged for more security guards to enter the auditorium to prevent fans from surrounding the artists again.

There were more security guards around, so fans and those who wanted to take advantage of the situation didn't even think about rushing past.

After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, the chaotic closing ceremony of the Baihua Film Festival officially began.

After the opening performance, several leaders took turns to speak, and then the hosts Zhang Guoli and Jiang Kun took the stage to host!
This year's Baihua Film Festival not only had a fancy red carpet, but also made the awards very fancy. It actually allowed 99 judges to vote now.

Before each award selection, there will be celebrity performances to arouse the audience's expectations and arouse the audience's emotions.

The audience was nervous about voting, and many fans cheered for their idols when the judges voted.

'The best newcomer at this year's Popular Hundred Flowers Film Festival - Sun Li's "Fearless", congratulations to Sun Li. '

'The winner of this year's Popular Hundred Flowers Film Festival's Best Supporting Actress - Yuan Qiu's "Kung Fu". '

'Congratulations to Zhang Jin, the Best Supporting Actor winner at this year's Popular Hundred Flowers Film Festival, for "Loyalty and Righteousness." '

There was no surprise on everyone's faces when Zhang Jin won the award. Xie Tingfeng, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, did not show a trace of disappointment on their expressions. They all smiled and applauded.

Because everyone had already guessed before coming that the Best Supporting Actor award would most likely go to Zhang Jin.

In addition to Zhang Jin's outstanding performance in "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" and the fact that he is now an artist under Anle Film and Television, Jiang Zhiqiang has a good relationship with many mainland filmmakers.

As long as Jiang Zhiqiang gives a little favor and nudge, Zhang Jin will definitely win the prize!

Zhang Jin stood up with a smile on his face and hugged Wan Qingshan who stood up and opened his hand to him.

Then, when facing Zeng Li, Zhang Jin quickly extended his hand in a handshake just before Zeng Li was about to open her hand.

In the past, he would have hugged Zeng Li gently, but the scene he saw in the backstage room made him afraid to hug Zeng Li.

After Zeng Li was stunned for a moment, she stretched out her hand to hold Zhang Jin's hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Jin replied, let go and walked towards the stage.

"Thank you, thank you, Director Wan. Without Director Wan, I wouldn't be able to reach this podium.

Thank you to all the crew of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness", thank you to Mr. Jiang from Zhouyi, and thank you to Mr. Jiang from Anle Film and Television!
I would also like to thank my family, my girlfriend Cai Shaofen, and her support for me all the time. Thank you all! "

Amidst the applause of the crowd, Zhang Jin came off the stage with the trophy and certificate!
After Zhang Jin sat down, Wan Qingshan cheered up a little and looked at the stage.

"Dai Jun, have you noticed that there are many new faces in this Baihua Film Festival!" Zhang Guoli said with a smile on the stage.

Dai Jun replied according to the script of the host that he had memorized, "Of course I discovered it, like Director Wan Qingshan, Miss Zeng Li, Miss Gao Yuanyuan and so on.

Although they are already familiar faces in the eyes of the audience, this is their first time participating in the Baihua Film Festival. "

"Well, Dai Junqi mentioned Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan. It's a coincidence today. They were both the first to participate in the Hundred Flowers Film Festival, but they were both shortlisted for Best Actress." Zhang Guoli said pretending to be surprised.

At this time, when the camera clicked, six small squares appeared on the screen behind the stage. The people in the squares were all the artists who were shortlisted for this year's Best Actress.

The backgrounds of the characters in five of the small squares are the auditorium, and the other small square only has a photo of a person, that is, Zhang Ziyi, who did not attend the Baihua Film Festival.

"Dear audience friends, the next step is to select the best actress for this year's Popular Hundred Flowers Awards. 99 judges will select the best actress through on-site voting." As soon as Dai Jun's slightly passionate words stopped, Zhang Guoli smiled all over his face. answered and said,

"It's a coincidence that the six actresses who were shortlisted are Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li who were shortlisted by starring in director Wan's film."

Then, Zhang Guoli looked at Wan Qingshan and said with a smile, "Director Wan, Gao Yuanyuan or Zeng Li, who do you think is more likely to win the prize?"

As soon as the camera clicked, on the screen behind the stage, six small squares moved to one corner, and Wanqing Mountain appeared in the middle.

Wan Qingshan smiled at the camera. At this time, Zhang Guoli on the stage continued, "Director Wan, who do you think has a better chance of winning, which way do you look?"

As soon as Zhang Guoli finished speaking, Zeng Li on the side didn't care that she was in the camera, covered her mouth with her hand, and said quickly,
"Qingshan, don't look anywhere. This is not just a matter of two actors. As long as you look at any one of them, the other shortlisted people will be dissatisfied with you."

Wan Qingshan nodded slightly, and then kept looking at the stage with a smile.

Wan Qingshan's reaction made everyone looking at Wan Qingshan feel a trace of disappointment in their eyes.

On the stage, Zhang Guoli looked a little embarrassed and laughed dryly, "It seems that Director Wan thinks that the two actresses have about the same chance of winning, so it's not easy to choose."

Wan Qingshan smiled and shouted, "No, I have already chosen. I choose Zhang Ziyi. I just kept looking at her photos."

Wan Qingshan sat in the middle front row, and Zhang Guoli heard his voice clearly.

The smile on Zhang Guoli's face suddenly became natural.

"Haha, since Director Wan believes that Zhang Ziyi has the best chance of winning the award, the next time will be left to Liu Yifei, who will bring you a song "Heart Palpitations".

Then, 99 judges will select the best actress of this year on the spot!

Look at Director Wan's vision, it's the same as the vision of so many judges. "

As Zhang Guoli and Dai Jun walked off the stage, Liu Yifei led a group of dancing girls to perform on stage.

Looking at Liu Yifei singing and dancing on the stage, Zeng Li turned slightly sideways and laughed softly, "Qingshan, you are so quick to react, you actually thought of choosing purple. I just thought, don't choose."

Domestic film festivals generally have a rule about not becoming a film festival.That is, if you don’t come to participate, you definitely have no hope of winning.

Without Zhang Ziyi, it would be impossible for the Baihua Film Festival to award the Best Actress Award to her, which is why Zeng Li said this.

As for what will happen, it is possible that many of the 99 judges will vote for Zhang Ziyi, causing people from the Baihua Film Festival to award the Best Actress to Zhang Ziyi. That is completely impossible.

Although, the Baihua Film Festival arranged for 99 judges to vote on the spot, it seemed that there was no way to cheat.

But everyone in the industry knows that the selection of awards cannot really be decided by the votes of the 99 judges.

The 99 judges are used by the Baihua Film Festival for show, and each award must have been determined by the Baihua Film Festival long ago.

The specific number of votes for each person is very likely to be determined by the Baihua Film Festival. The 99 judges only need to vote according to the predetermined votes.

After Liu Yifei sang and danced vigorously, Zhang Guoli and Dai Jun took the stage again.

This time the two of them didn't do anything to let anyone choose, because they didn't follow the lines.

Just after he stepped off the stage, Zhang Guoli discovered that there was something wrong with the line cards given by the Baihua Film Festival.

You shouldn't have asked Wan Qingshan like that just now, because that would offend him.

But the line card given to him by the Baihua Film Festival actually asked Zhang Guoli to ask Wan Qingshan.

After Zhang Guoli got angry, he discussed it with Dai Jun. After a while, he stopped following the lines and just followed the simple host's lines.

The two men changed their lines, causing the speed to be much faster. The staff of the Baihua Film Festival backstage were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately moved forward the previous preparation process to match the hosting speed of Zhang Guoli and Dai Jun.

After Zhang Guoli and Dai Jun said a few words, they started voting.

Although they knew that the awards had been determined long ago and the voting was just superficial, the shortlisted Gao Yuanyuan still looked nervously at the screen on the stage.

On the screen on the stage, there were pillars with the names of six actors written on them, and the number of votes continued to increase.

After Wan Qingshan glanced at it, he looked sideways at Zeng Li and saw Zeng Li leaning on the back of the chair, looking a little listless.

"Oh, you were also nominated, why are you not nervous at all, as if it doesn't matter."

Zeng Li turned her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "I know my situation clearly. I was shortlisted because "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" had a high box office. It would be unreasonable for me not to be nominated for Best Actress.

As for me winning?That's impossible. I don't know anyone, and I'm not qualified to exchange interests with the organizers of the Baihua Film Festival. How could they award the award to me. "

Wan Qingshan's intention of joking disappeared instantly, and he felt a little guilty.

He knew that if Zeng Li was an artist from Huayi or Chengtian, the box office of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" with 1000 million yuan would be there, and Zeng Li would win the award with a little push.

But Zeng Li is now affiliated with Qingshan Film and Television Company, and the relationship between him and those people is, to be serious, each of them wants the other to quit the entertainment industry.

If he finds someone to lobby, it will definitely not have any effect unless he throws money at it.

But asking him to throw money at those people just for the sake of a Baihua Queen, he really felt it was not worth it.

Wan Qingshan was about to say sorry, but just as he was about to say it, Zeng Li suddenly raised her hands to cover her face, her eyes filled with shock.

Wan Qingshan immediately turned to look at the screen. Zeng Li ranked first with 35 votes, No. 2 Gao Yuanyuan with 25 votes.

Before Wan Qingshan could see the votes of the actors behind him.

"The winner of the Best Actress at this year's Popular Hundred Flowers Film Festival is Zeng Li from "Loyalty and Bravery". Congratulations to Zeng Li."

At the same time as the sound sounded, the screen changed. Zeng Li with a surprised expression appeared in the middle, and photos of the other people and Zhang Ziyi appeared around them.

The expressions on the faces of Liu Ruoying and others were very surprised. They never expected that Zeng Li would win. They had never regarded Zeng Li as a competitor before.

Zeng Li now runs a studio under the banner of Qingshan Film and Television, while Wan Qingshan's relationship with the older generation of filmmakers is not very good.

When "The True Meaning of Love" was released, many of those people criticized "The True Meaning of Love" through the media.

Given this relationship, why would the Baihua Film Festival award the Best Actress Award to Zeng Li?

Could it be that Wan Qingshan paid a lot of money to please Zeng Li and win the Best Actress Award?
Wan Qingshan was at a loss. Zeng Li didn't find anyone to get through to the Baihua Film Festival, and neither did he. So how could the Best Actress Award be awarded to Zeng Li?

After Wan Qingshan thought about it for a while, he didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, it was a good thing that Zeng Li won the award.

When the award-giving guests appeared on the stage, Wan Qingshan stood up, hugged Zeng Li, and said, "Congratulations!"

"Qing Shan, thank you!"

Zeng Li, whose expression was still very excited, let go of Wan Qingshan after she finished speaking in Wan Qingshan's ear.

Then, Zhang Jin stretched out his palm before Zeng Li opened her hand, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

Zeng Li felt a little strange, but she was so excited and joyful that she didn't think much about it. She stretched out her hand and shook Zhang Jin's hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you!"

Amid applause, Zeng Li walked onto the stage and received the trophy and certificate from the award-presenting guests.

"Thank you everyone, I really didn't expect that I would win the award. Now I feel like I am in a dream.

This is the first award I have won in acting. The one person I want to thank is teacher Chang Li. Thank you Chang Li for teaching me.

Also, thank you to my parents for their continued support. Without the support of my parents, I would not have been able to reach this point in my acting career. "

As she said that, she looked at Wan Qingshan. Zeng Li smiled sweetly and said, "Director Wan, no, let's call you Qingshan."

The eyes of everyone in the audience suddenly brightened, and they looked at Zeng Li closely.Is Zeng Li overly excited? She wants to admit her relationship in front of television cameras and so many viewers?Forced marriage?then what?
In the crowd, Fan Bayi's expression changed slightly, he clenched his hands into fists, and looked closely at Zeng Li on the stage with piercing eyes.

"Qingshan, I think I shouldn't just say thank you simply. Without you, I might still be the little actor who has no chance to star in a movie and is unknown to the public.

I am grateful for the fate that allowed us to meet each other.

If you hadn't brought Yandong and them to the theater, I don't think we would have known each other at that time.

Then I would not have the opportunity to participate in "The True Meaning of Love" and "Loyal Liver and Righteousness", and it would be impossible to win this award.

I am grateful for the fate I had back then, I am grateful for you back then, and I am even more grateful for you now. "

There was a trace of disappointment in everyone's eyes. Although Zeng Li's words were very different from the normal words of thanks after winning the award, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Finally, I would like to thank all the crew of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness", thank you!"

After Zeng Li came off the stage and sat down, she turned slightly sideways and whispered with a joyful expression, "Qingshan, did you help me get through the relationship with the Baihua Film Festival without telling me? You didn't tell me before because you wanted to give me a surprise. "

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment, looking a little ashamed, "Uh, no, I've been busy filming during this time, so."

Suddenly, the smile on Zeng Li's face became a little unnatural.

"I understand, I understand, you are too busy. Plus your relationship with those people, it will be very troublesome to open up the relationship."

Then, Zeng Li, who had adjusted her mood, turned to look directly at Wanqing Mountain, blinked, smiled happily, and said,

"Then I'm so lucky to win the Best Actress Award."

"Haha, no matter what luck or other reasons, it is a good thing to win the award." Wan Qingshan replied with a dry smile.

"Well, it's a good thing to win an award."

Zeng Li suddenly thought of a situation and her face turned slightly red.

"Hey, Qingshan, do you think that I can win the Best Actress Award has something to do with the speculation that has been circulating in the industry before?"

Wan Qingshan thought about it and asked blankly, "What rumors?"

Seeing that Wan Qingshan didn't even remember it, Zeng Li couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

"After the College Student Film Festival at the end of April this year, not many people in the industry speculated that if I won the Most Popular Actress Award, you might..."

Wan Qingshan remembered, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

If this is the case, then the few awards he was shortlisted for, I'm afraid...
