Most actors in Hong Kong know this. I think it would be better for them to be patriotic so that Zhang Yang might look at them with a higher regard.

"I've been living in Suzhou lately. I'd go to the park near my home at night and hang out there. I saw old men and women doing square dances to the tune of 'Fireworks in the World'.

They haven’t changed the song for half a month, and I’m almost able to sing it.” Liu Jialing stretched out her hand to gesture at the end.

Zhang Yang and Zhou Xun both laughed out loud. This was really an unexpected way to spread the message.

"Yifei had heard Yao Beina talk about this before, but I didn't expect that it was happening in more than one place."

"Director Zhang, what are you and Jialing talking about so happily? Are you fellow villagers meeting?" A magnetic voice came over, and the three of them didn't need to look back, as they knew it was Liu Dehua.

His voice is still somewhat recognizable.

"What kind of fellow countrymen are we?" x2
Zhang Yang and Liu Jialing refuted almost at the same time.

"I'm from Jinling and she's from Gusu. The two places have nothing to do with each other." Zhang Yang turned around and explained to Liu Dehua.

"Yes, the two places are separated by Changzhou and Wuxi, so they can't be considered fellow villagers." Liu Jialing also flatly denied it.

Liu Dehua's face was full of question marks: "Aren't they all from Jiangsu Province?"

Zhang Yang and Liu Jialing smiled at each other. "Su Province? What is that? We are Jinling (Gusu) in China."

Liu Dehua did not dwell on this question. He congratulated Zhang Yang: "Your seventh billion-dollar movie has been born. Congratulations."

Zhang Yang's "Oppenheimer" was released worldwide on the 26th of last month.

So far, after 21 days of screening, it has grossed 10.2 billion worldwide.

In North America alone, the box office totaled $3.5 million. Europe was also very strong this time, after all, there were many scenes in the movie where Leo Penheimer studied in Europe, and the total box office totaled $2.8 million.

The domestic box office also exceeded $100 million.
In addition, the movie grossed more than 4600 million US dollars in South Korea. In addition to Zhang Yang's previous planning to use the reaction of Xiao Ri Zi to stimulate the box office, League of Legends also helped a little.

Box office revenue in other places such as Australia and India is in the tens of millions of dollars.

Even in Taiwan, the box office exceeded 1000 million US dollars.

Together, these places grossed $2.4 million.

"Well done, Zhang Yang, congratulations. The global box office of the movies you directed has exceeded 100 billion US dollars." Li An came to his side without knowing when.

"I don't care about these at all. They're just a bunch of boring numbers. The essence of movie is still storytelling." Zhang Yang waved his hand, appearing as nonchalant as he could be.

Zhang Yang didn't need to care because he had done it. When others saw Li An say it, they all came over to congratulate him.

We have to congratulate you. 100 billion US dollars is simply an astronomical figure.

Of course, this is just for them. To Zhang Yang, his net worth is far more than 100 billion US dollars.

During the process of congratulations, their closeness to Zhang Yang was gradually revealed. For example, people from the mainland, such as Lao Mouzi, Wen Muye, Zhao Tao, etc., did not move after the congratulations, but surrounded Zhang Yang.

Most of the other actors and directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan left quietly after congratulating him. Only a few people such as Kara Hui and Liu Dehua were able to stand by his side.

When Qiu Ze also came over to congratulate Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang suddenly found that the way people around him looked at him were not right.

After he left, Zhang Yang asked Zhou Xun curiously, "Why are you looking at him like that?"

Zhou Xun looked at Zhang Yang with a bit of helplessness. Even though he didn't care, he still had to care.

But since she had a good relationship with him, she looked up at Zhang Yang and waved to him.

Zhang Yang is too tall, so it's hard to whisper to him.

Zhang Yang leaned over and listened.

After hearing this he could only sigh, what a guy, he is indeed a scumbag named Qiu, not only is he a scumbag in relationships, he is also not much worse as a human being.

He was down and out before, and begged to act in Yu Chaochao's play, but when he saw that he might win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, he simply stood Yu Chaochao up.

Zhang Yang snorted, shook his head and said softly, "Naive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of Duan Yihong, Huang Bo and Deng Chao all lit up. This naive sentence was equivalent to sentencing the scumbag Qiu to death. He would not be eligible for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

After the three of them reacted, they looked at each other and smiled.

Many people around heard what Zhang Yang said, and they silently cast sympathetic glances at Qiu Ze as he turned and left.

"Director Zhang, please be careful." Li An looked at Zhang Yang helplessly.

Everyone else looked at Li An with sympathy. Inviting Zhang Yang would create enough heat, but it was hard for him to control it.

Li An didn't know yet that his suffering tonight had just begun.

Zhang Yang nodded and said nothing more.

Soon the Golden Horse Awards red carpet officially began, and it took everyone more than an hour to slowly walk through it.

After entering the venue and everyone was seated, the award ceremony began quickly.

More than an hour passed in a flash, and the awards gradually became more important. After the Best Cinematography Award was presented, it was time for the Best New Director Award.

The presenter of the Best New Director Award was Zhang Yimou. When he said: The winner of the Best New Director is: Wen Muye.

Thunderous applause broke out at the scene. Zhang Yang pointed at Lao Mouzi and Wen Muye on the stage and said to Li An beside him with a proud tone: "Director Li, what did you see?"

Before Li An spoke, Zhang Yang asked himself, "I see the inheritance of Chinese filmmakers.

Wen Muye can make commercial films with realistic significance, Guo Fan can make science fiction films, and Yu Kun’s art films are also good.”

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Li An nodded with a smile. The new directors from the mainland have indeed made a big breakthrough this year, and the atmosphere on the scene has become more and more heated.

Wen Muye finished his acceptance speech and walked off the stage. The next award to be presented was the Best Documentary Award.

Zhang Yang's face suddenly darkened. Zhang Yang thought about dealing with this matter calmly, but at this moment, he felt that he couldn't keep calm.

He stood up and walked towards the stage.

"Director Zhang." Li An's face was full of helplessness when the female director was speaking. Now Zhang Yang walked towards the stage, which scared him even more.

He shouted at Zhang Yang's back, but it was no use.

Now that Zhang Yang has come forward, I also want to see what he will do.

The guests who had been applauding just now stopped applauding immediately when they saw Zhang Yang walking towards the stage. They felt like they were in trouble. They didn't expect that Zhang Yang, as the chairman of the jury, could be so tough.

When the female director saw Zhang Yang walking towards her, she subconsciously stopped talking.

Zhang Yang walked up to the female director, stretched out his hand to her and said with a smile: "Give me the trophy."

"this is me……"

"Give me the trophy." Zhang Yang's smile became brighter.

The female director felt a chill in her heart and she involuntarily handed the trophy to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang took it with one hand, looked at the trophy, and then looked at the audience. He said in a calm voice: "This award cannot be given to her for the time being. I think there is something wrong with her acceptance speech.
Do you want to reorganize your words?" He said at the end and looked at the female director.

The female director was shaking a little at the moment, not sure whether she was excited or scared, and she couldn't speak at all. Obviously, Zhang Yang walking onto the stage was beyond her expectation.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Yang put his mouth to the microphone again: "Xiao Zhao, take her downstairs to rest."

Zhang Yang's bodyguard Xiao Zhao had arrived at the side of the stage at some point in time. He always carried out Zhang Yang's words to the letter.

He walked onto the stage without hesitation and "helped" the female director to go backstage.

The female director didn't say a word the whole time, and no one knows how Xiao Zhao did it. The master of the Imperial Palace must have many unique skills.

"Okay, let's continue with the award ceremony. I hope the next winners will speak well." Zhang Yang said and walked off the stage with the trophy.

It seems like he is also an award winner.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap." The guests in the audience started clapping, someone unknown started the process, and soon, the whole venue was filled with applause.

The applause was not enthusiastic this time because some people did not applaud.

Zhang Yang returned to his seat and sat down. Li An beside him said to him with a wry smile: "Director Zhang, you..."

"Did you hear the applause from the audience just now?" Zhang Yang didn't let Li An finish his words.

"They just subconsciously applauded the winners." Li An defended the people who just applauded.

"Neither you nor I did it subconsciously." Zhang Yang looked at Li An with a half-smile.

"This year's Golden Horse Awards have become impure."

Li An remained silent after hearing what Zhang Yang said, and the smile on his face became more forced. When he invited Zhang Yang over, he vowed that the Golden Horse Awards was a pure film festival.

"Today I will just sit here and watch. I am not going to go on stage again."

"How can this be? We are the ones presenting the Best Film award together, and the winner is a mainland filmmaker. It's unfair to him." Li An hurriedly persuaded Zhang Yang.

"I've already been on stage, why would I go up there again? I believe my junior will understand me."

The director of "An Elephant Sitting Still" is also a student of Beijing Film Academy, and a young man born in 88.

Li An sighed. He had just taken over the Golden Horse and encountered such a thing. It was really a bad start!

The following award ceremony seemed very boring. Everyone was thinking about something else and just wanted to end today's ceremony as soon as possible.

With Zhang Yang's words "Zhongxwanwan" as an example, other mainland award-winning people all kept this sentence in mind when they gave their acceptance speeches.

When they came on stage, they said “thank you Chinese Wanwan for the Golden Horse Awards.” Zhang Yang felt much better after hearing that.

Finally, when Li An was presenting the Best Feature Film award alone on the stage, many people looked at Zhang Yang.

They had an inexplicable feeling that the matter was not over.

The award ceremony ended in a strange atmosphere.

Zhang Yang stood up and walked out.

His every move was being watched, and the place he should have gone to at this time was the banquet hall instead of leaving the memorial hall.

"Just left like that." Zhou Xun suddenly appeared beside Zhang Yang.

"What else? Waiting to celebrate?" Zhang Yang snorted and walked out.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun followed without hesitation.

"Zhang Yang, wait for us!" The crew of "Dying to Survive" quickly caught up with them, and Huang Bo spoke first.

"You're the best actor, why don't you take a group photo?" After the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, all the winners had to take a group photo together for publicity purposes.

"It's just a photo." Huang Bo followed without any hesitation.

Zhang Yang looked around and found that most of the mainland actors had already arrived.

"You guys don't take pictures, and you don't attend the thank-you banquet?"

"I'm old, so I'd better go to bed early." Lao Mouzi had a familiar smile on his face.

"Brother, this is your first time winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Director. How can we not celebrate?" Zhang Yang said, calling his assistant, "Go and ask Caesars Hotel to prepare. Get ready. I'll treat you tonight."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he was holding a golden horse in his hand, so he handed the golden horse to his assistant and said, "Get rid of it." (End of this chapter)
