Chapter 81 The Inside Story! A Naked Inside Story! (First Update, Please Read On)

Soon, the China Film Festival began.

The entire event was also streamed live online.

Many netizens were very excited.

"Ahhh! I saw my goddess!"

"Shuying is so beautiful!"

Wow, so many big-name celebrities are here tonight!

"Of course, the China Film Festival is arguably the most important awards ceremony in China. Whoever wins an award at this film festival will see their popularity and fame skyrocket!"

"I wonder who will win the award tonight?"

They are eager to know who the winners are tonight.

The same applies to other artists.

According to regulations, anyone who has worked in the industry for less than three years is considered a newcomer.

Therefore, Song Hao is essentially still a new director.

However, because he filmed two very popular works in a row, many actors and directors reached out to him.

"Director Song, this is Nana. Please give me your guidance."

"Director Song, your real name is Mu Ye. Can we add each other on WeChat? We can discuss the sparks of inspiration for our filming together."

Song Hao responded to each of these greetings and requests.

After all, when you're out in the world, it's always better to be approachable.

Meanwhile, Director Zhang and others were seated in the first row.

Chen Kai asked Zhang Chengmou, "Brother Zhang, we might win several awards today, right?"

Director Zhang shook his head and joked, "Have you forgotten? There's another young man behind us; both of his works have been nominated."

When Chen Kai turned around, he saw that all the celebrities around him were also surrounding Song Hao, and he was quite happy, saying, "This young man is going to be famous."

"It all depends on whether he can calm down," Director Zhang said, adopting the attitude of someone who's been there. "If he gets caught up in his current achievements and fame, he'll most likely fail halfway through his career."

"That's true," Chen Kai said with a smile. "After all, the only ones who have been able to achieve fame at a young age and persevere until now are a few of us old folks in this row."

Director Zhang did not say anything after hearing this.

But her expression held a hint of disdain, as if she were saying, "What a shameless attempt to embellish his image."

This film festival has two hosts, Huang Bo and Lan Yu.

Wearing a white dress, Lan Yu stood in the center of the stage and said to everyone: "Dear guests and friends, welcome everyone~ It is a pleasure to see you all in the beautiful Jiangnan region today, and welcome to the awards ceremony of the 35th China Film Festival."

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Song Hao naturally followed the crowd and clapped when it was time to applaud.

Following that, each of the different leaders came up and gave a speech.

The awards ceremony will be held in half an hour.

Most of the previous awards were for Best Low-Budget Feature Film, Best Children's Film, Best Opera Film, and so on.

Song Hao was naturally not interested either.

He glanced at his phone, waiting for time to pass.

Then the host announced, "Next, let's move on to the Best Cinematography award. The nominees are Zhang Chengmou's 'The Lonely City,' Jia Zhangke's 'Children of Jianghu,' Song Hao's 'The Flowers of War' and 'All or Nothing,' and Chen Kai's 'The Promise.'"

When the host mentioned this, viewers watching the live stream were all curious about who would win the Best Cinematography award!

"I guess it must be Jia Zhangke's 'Children of Jianghu'. His film has a great sense of cinematography!"

"Yeah, I think so too."

"I guess it's 'The Promise of Love'!"

"I think it's Song's 'The Flowers of War,' which has the highest box office among all the nominees!"

Netizens have offered various speculations.

But industry professionals seem to think that this award is rightfully Jia Zhang's.

After all, his film "Children of the Jianghu" was indeed well made.

However, judging from the market's reaction, people simply don't understand those professional lenses.

Of course, some people might think it's Song Hao's movie.

After all, "The Flowers of War" is also very cinematic.

Shortly after, Mr. Zhang Guoli walked onto the stage, holding the list of winners: "The winner of the Best Cinematography Award at the 35th China Film Festival is..."

Everyone became nervous.

Song Hao was also somewhat looking forward to it.

After all, this is his first award, and if he can win it, it means that the task issued by the system can be completed smoothly!

"Director Song Hao's 'The Flowers of War'! Please welcome the representative of 'The Flowers of War' to the stage to accept the award."

Teacher Zhang Guoli then looked in the direction of Song Hao's seat.

Applause erupted immediately.

Everyone applauded. Jia Zhangke, as a senior colleague, turned around and hugged Song Hao, encouraging him, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Director Jia," Song Hao said with a smile.

He then went on stage to accept the award as the director of "The Flowers of War".

"Thank you to the organizing committee and the film festival for giving me this opportunity to win the Best Cinematography Award. I will continue to strive for excellence in the future."

The acceptance speech that followed was a formulaic and predictable one.

After Song Hao finished speaking, he forgot what else to say and stepped off the stage with a smile.

At this moment, everyone online was very happy.

After all, Song Hao's "The Flowers of War" evoked many tears at the time.

So everyone was happy for him to win the award.

"Next, let's move on to the Best Screenplay award. The nominees this time are Zhang Chengmou and Chen Yu for 'The Lonely City', Jia Zhangke and Teng Cong for 'Children of the Jianghu', Song Hao for 'The Flowers of War' and 'All or Nothing', Bao Jing for 'The Flash', and Teng Cong for 'Send Me to the Clouds'!"

Upon seeing this nomination, netizens were surprised once again.

Wow, Director Song's film has been nominated again!

"Can I nominate for every single one?"

"It seems so. In that case, Director Song might also win the Best Screenplay award!"

"Haha, very likely! I never expected Director Song to be so amazing, directing and writing his own script!"

As for Song Hao, after receiving one award, he lost interest in listening to the subsequent presentations.

The system task notification immediately appeared in my mind.

[Winning any award at the film festival completes the task; the system will issue a reward!]

[Film Exchange Card*5, Silver-Tier Treasure Chest*1]

Just as Song Hao was about to open the silver-level treasure chest, he noticed that everyone around him was staring at him again.

While clapping, they said some words of congratulations.

Song Hao then realized that he had won another award!

With no other option, he stood up with a smile, shook hands with the people around him, and went back on stage.

Receive the award, give a speech, and step down from the stage.

However, he went back on stage two minutes later.

Since Song Hao has been in the industry for less than three years, he also won the Best New Director award.

Congratulations to director Song Hao for winning the Best New Director award!

Song Hao won three awards in one go, which made the faces of some of the nominated directors and screenwriters in the audience look increasingly grim.

But there was nothing they could do; the two dramas Song Hao starred in were not only huge hits, but also commercially successful.

The organizing committee cannot possibly not support a new director like this.

However, Director Zhang smiled throughout the entire process, showing no sign of tension whatsoever.

"Next up are the Best Director and Best Feature Film awards!" Huang Bo looked at everyone and smiled, "Aren't you all excited? I can tell you that both of these awards will be accepted by the same person!"

For a moment, everyone was quite surprised.

The online buzz surrounding it has skyrocketed.

It's worth noting that Song Hao had already won three awards before this.

Whether it's fame or ability, he's definitely the winner tonight!
If I can win the two most prestigious awards, I'll definitely become a top-tier director after tonight!
"Ahhh! I hope Director Song gets it!"

"Me too!"

"Haha, it should be him! Look at the nominations on the screen above: Director Zhang's 'The Lonely City,' Jia Zhangke's 'Children of Jianghu,' and Director Song's 'The Flowers of War.' Director Song definitely has the advantage!"

"Yeah, it couldn't possibly be anyone else, could it? They don't even make any money at the box office!"

But Song Hao remained calm.

Based on his experience from his previous life, he had a feeling that the organizing committee wouldn't award him these two prizes so easily.

Imagine a new director winning five major awards at the biggest film festival.

This is likely to turn the entertainment industry upside down.

Award ceremonies are all about social niceties and interpersonal relationships.

Sure enough, the next second, the presenter, Mr. Zhang Guoli, said: "Congratulations to director Zhang Chengmou for winning Best Director! Congratulations to 'The Lonely City' for winning Best Feature Film! Let's invite director Zhang Chengmou to the stage to accept the award!"

Director Zhang pretended to be stunned for a moment, then smiled and hugged Chen Kai, turned around and waved before going on stage.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, as if to tell them that this was a well-deserved honor!

However, in the live stream, countless people simultaneously posted the same two words in their comments!
