Chapter 952 You can speak boldly

They were affected by Zhang Yang's speech yesterday and became a little nervous.

Finally, the Best Documentary Awards began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next step is the selection of the best documentary. Let me first express my opinion." This was the first time that Zhang Yang took the initiative to express his opinion today.

"I think the documentary "Four Springs" is good. Most documentaries are about poverty, bad waters, and the ugliness of human nature. Although this is a kind of strength,
But recording the daily necessities of life is also a kind of strength. This documentary rarely tells the story of the open-minded and optimistic parents..." After expressing his attitude, Zhang Yang looked at the judges.

This was also a test for him. "Our Xchun, in Xbend" itself had some problems, and he wanted to see how this group of people would react.

"Director Zhang, this kind of power is too bland, not profound enough, and not very meaningful." Lin Shuyu shook his head and disagreed.

He is a director who was born in Taiwan and studied in the United States. People like him are very popular in Taiwan.

"I think "Our X Spring, at X Bend" is pretty good. It deeply reflects..." Lin Shuyu blabbered on and on, saying a bunch of things that an author shouldn't write.

Many other judges nodded, as if they thought what he said made sense.

"Otherwise, art is human expression. "Four Springs" tells us that people can live so realistically, frankly, and yet powerfully..." Xu Yuezhen, a person who surprised Zhang Yang, also thought that "Four Springs" was good.

She is very extraordinary. She is a gold medal producer in the industry and has always been working with Chen Kexin.

How successful was the collaboration? In 2022, she became a member of the Academy of Oscars.

Xu Yuezhen's words still have weight, and many Hong Kong judges also agreed with them.
Anyway, the movie they made in Hong Kong this time is nothing special, so it doesn’t matter who you support.

The judges had a heated discussion on the two films.

After a while, everyone had said almost the same thing and stopped talking and looked at Zhang Yang.

"Let's vote!" Zhang Yang said calmly.

"Raise your hands if you agree with "Our X Spring, at X Bend"."

Suddenly, 12 hands were raised at the scene, and those from the Philippines and Malaysia also agreed.

Xu Yuezhen and others looked at Zhang Yang. If he wanted to fight for it, he should quickly cancel this decision.

"Okay, the best documentary award goes to Our Spring at X Bend." Zhang Yang actually agreed with the voting result.

The group of people couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Next, the Best Director and Best Actor awards were given to Zhang Yimou and Huang Bo without much controversy.

"Best Actress, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhang Yang asked the question, Xu Yuezhen spoke first: "Zeng Meihuizi in "Three Husbands" performed well..." She said a lot.

"No, this movie blatantly exploits women's bodies, which is really shameful, and the so-called metaphor is too simple." Zhang Yang rejected it categorically.

He even felt that this movie shouldn't have been nominated and was a piece of shit.

"I think the movie "Who Fell in Love with Him First" is good. It uses montage so skillfully.
Laughter and tears kept switching with memories and reality, one seemed to be just for money, the other just for love…” Professor Wu Guanping unexpectedly thought that a Taiwanese movie was good.

When Wanwan's group saw it, they immediately started to follow suit.
"After all, it explores ethics and morality, homosexuality..."

"In the movies..."

"Qiu blames this movie..."

"Knock, knock, knock." Zhang Yang suddenly tapped the table with his fingers, interrupting their conversation.

"Everyone, the best actor has been chosen. Now we are discussing the best actress. Some people should stop talking about it." Zhang Yang was speechless when they were discussing Qiu Ze. Was he a good actor? He was acting in his true colors.

If Huang Bo hadn't taken advantage of the movie theme this year, he might not have been able to beat him. He is just a scumbag.

The judges paused for a few seconds and then started discussing again. In the end, Xie Yingxuan won the Best Actress award for "Who Fell in Love with Him First?"

The Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Film was actually the least controversial, and was won by "An Elephant Sitting Still".

After all the awards were chosen, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Many people thought that Zhang Yang would strive for the Best Feature Film for "Dying to Survive", but he didn't care because the director of "An Elephant Sitting Still" was also from Beijing Film Academy?

They were very impressed by the fairness of Zhang Yang this year. Could it be that being recognized as the movie emperor by that man has broadened their minds?
A group of people began to have wild thoughts.

Zhang Yang looked at his watch, then pointed at it and said to everyone with a smile: "The judging will start at around 10 am.
It’s only 4pm now, it seems our cooperation is still very pleasant.”

"After all, our jury is like a big family. We are all harmonious but different." Lin Shuyu actually started to show off.

"Then let's go. See you tomorrow afternoon." Zhang Yang stood up and prepared to leave.

"Director Zhang, the film review is over. Aren't you going to attend the nominees reception tonight?" You Hai asked curiously. He is Johnnie To's exclusive screenwriter and has a great reputation in the industry.

The Golden Horse nominees reception is quite interesting, and most people just like to join in the fun, so they just don't want to reveal the results.

"No, I need to go back and have a good rest. I still have to present awards tomorrow." Zhang Yang said and walked out of the meeting room.

A group of people shook their heads secretly again. The judging was over, so what was there to rest for? It was just an awards ceremony, was it tiring?
By the time Zhang Yang returned to the Caesar Hotel, it was already past five in the afternoon and it was almost dark.

As soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, he saw a group of people getting out of the elevator and walking out of the hotel.

They met Zhang Yang head-on.

"Director Zhang, long time no see." Xu Qing, dressed in a black suit, greeted Zhang Yang as soon as she saw him.

Zhang Yang shook her hand and joked, "Senior Sister Xu's outfit today shows that she is a strong woman."

"It's so cold, I can't stand wearing a skirt, otherwise I would definitely still wear a skirt." Xu Qing is still a little upset about not being able to wear a skirt. No matter how well she takes care of her appearance, she can't change her inner self. She is really old.

Zhang Yang looked around: "Why didn't Director Jiang come over?"

"He probably has other things to do." Xu Qing deliberately guessed. Jiang Wen probably knew that the chances of winning the award were slim. With the reputation of "Evil Never Dies", it was impossible for him to win an award.

After Sister Xu said hello, Zhou Xun came over. The people from the "Hello, Zhihua" crew were a bit strange, as the director and the male lead did not come.

The people who came were Zhou Xun, supporting actress Zhang Zifeng, and Brother Hu. He was invited by the brand. This is the power of top idols.

"You better hurry up, otherwise the cocktail reception will start soon." Zhou Xun reminded Zhang Yang after chatting for a while.

"I'm not going."

"You're not even going to the cocktail party?" Zhou Xun and the others looked at Zhang Yang curiously.

"Yeah, I've been fighting wits and courage all day long and I'm tired." Zhang Yang made up an excuse to get by.

When they heard Zhang Yang's words, they immediately showed some expectant smiles, thinking that Zhang Yang had won many awards for the mainland. His words: "As long as I am here, fairness will exist" really scared many people.

But when they arrive at the shortlisted cocktail reception and meet the other judges, they probably won’t think so.

I just think Zhang Yang is really lazy.

After these two waves of people came over, Zhang Yang casually said a few words to Wen Muye, Zhang Yu, and Huang Bo who came over to say hello, then returned to the room.

The next afternoon, around four o'clock, the assistant brought a blue suit to Zhang Yang.

"Why am I wearing a blue suit alone? Bring me a black one." When Zhang Yang saw the suit, he felt it was meaningless to wear it alone and refused decisively.

"Boss, if you go there wearing blue, you might meet a female guest wearing a red dress, and then you can ask her to go with you." The assistant gave Zhang Yang a bad idea.

"Do you think clothes can be worn as long as they are red and blue? It also depends on the person wearing the clothes." Zhang Yang said, patting his assistant on the shoulder: "You are a single dog, it is normal that you don't understand these things."

The assistant felt deeply hurt. He was not a single guy. He was a single aristocrat. The woman who wanted to marry him would pay at least eight hundred dollars, if not one thousand.

Damn, the boss is just one person, but he can still show off his love, it’s really...

"Boss, I just don't want to have a relationship. Women are trouble." The assistant wanted to clear his name.

"How many times have you been in love? And you say women are troublesome?" Zhang Yang looked at his assistant with contempt.

“I see a lot of people around me are like this.”

"Is Yifei like this too?"

The assistant said nothing. No matter how close he was to the boss, he was not as close as the boss and his wife. After all, they slept in the same bed.

"Don't worry, speak boldly. What you say today will come out of your mouth and into my ears, and no one else will know it." Zhang Yang patted his chest and assured him solemnly.

The assistant laughed in his heart. Zhao Zhijing in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" also swore the same oath. But if a fourth or fifth person knew about it, the boss lady's pillow talk would make him want to die.

"How many people are like the boss lady?" The assistant lied against his will.

"I think you are a typical theorist, just like Shu Chang. You just daydream without taking any action." Zhang Yang felt bored and waved his hand at him, asking him to get his clothes again.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yang, dressed in a black suit, came to the red carpet waiting area outside the memorial hall.

Most people have arrived inside, and some media are interviewing Li An and Zhang Yimou.

Li An emphasized humility today, which stunned the media.

Lao Mouzi is indeed high-profile, but he is not doing it for himself, but for Deng Chao and Sun Li.

When a reporter from Aiyiyi asked him how he felt about receiving 12 nominations.

Lao Mouzi said three words in a conventional way: "Very happy."

He also sent his best wishes to Deng Chao and Sun Li: "I hope they can both win awards, just like Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei in 15."

Deng Chao and Sun Li quickly showed humble expressions. They knew in their hearts that "Shadow" was not a movie that could win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards at the same time.

At this moment, Zhang Yang walked into the venue. The media reporters' eyes lit up and they walked towards him in large numbers.

"Director Zhang, Zhang Yimou hopes that Deng Chao and Sun Li can become the emperor and empress couple like you and Yifei. Do you think there is hope?" The reporter from Youtu asked first.

"They have all been nominated, so of course there is hope." Zhang Yang kept repeating the same thing.

The reporters asked in vain.

As luck would have it, Zhou Xun also walked towards Zhang Yang. The media immediately pestered her and asked her about her competition with Sun Li for the Best Actress award.

Zhou Xun pointed at Zhang Yang casually and said, "Ask him. He knows the answer."

If they ask a question, will Zhang Yang be able to answer it? Don't get angry and drive them out of the meeting.

After sending away the media reporters, the two were chatting casually when Liu Jialing came over.

They were both a little curious about her coming over. After they exchanged a few pleasantries, Liu Jialing praised her, "The song 'Human Fireworks' sung by Yifei is really popular."

“There are more people praising her song for its beauty than for its popularity,” Zhou Xun joked, covering his mouth.

In the MV of "Human Fireworks", Liu Yifei's ancient costume is really stunning, reminding everyone of many ancient memories. Liu Yifei is still as graceful as ever in ancient costume.
She can even boldly say: Even when I wear ancient costume and hold an astronomical telescope, I can't find any rivals.

“I haven’t watched the MV, but I listen to this song every day.”

"Is this true?" x2
Zhang Yang and Zhou Xun both couldn't believe that Liu Jialing would be so obsessed with a catchy song?

But there was no need for her to compliment Zhang Yang at the moment, because even if she complimented him, Zhang Yang might not necessarily pay attention to her.
