"Thank you so much, Golden Rooster Awards!"

"I am deeply honored to receive the Most Popular Director Award from overseas."

Nolan's voice rang out on the awards stage, his words filled with sincerity and humility.

For him.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

This is enough to prove that his work and professionalism have resonated with and been recognized by the audience.

“A friend once told me that art knows no borders.”

"Film is a global art form that transcends language, and I am very grateful to have experienced its most authentic emotions at this moment."

"Thank you to my Chinese partners."

"Chen Yu".

"I hope to have more opportunities in the future to explore the essence of film with Chinese filmmakers."

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Golden Rooster Awards once again."

"We hope we can provide more emotional value to the audience and create better works."

Nolan holds the trophy in his hand.

His words at that moment were extremely sincere.

His gaze fell on Chen Yu's location. At this moment, he felt not only honor, but also a subtle sense of responsibility.

That's right.

Winning this honor will undoubtedly prompt him to consider future cooperation with China.

To be precise, Chen Yu did exist.

He would naturally visit often.

His statement just now truly reflected his true feelings; Chen Yu and the other person complemented each other perfectly.

Without Chen Yu, perhaps The Dark Knight wouldn't have achieved such great success.

The voice just fell.

Nolan looked down at the audience and bowed deeply.

This is my first time appearing on this unfamiliar awards stage, but I believe there will be many more opportunities in the future.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, feeling an unprecedented sincerity in Nolan's speech.

Once Nolan returned to his seat, Chen Yu gave him a thumbs up.

Nolan's ability to win this award is a testament to his own influence.

To know.

By 2009, Nolan already held a very high status and influence.

Even though he hasn't won an Oscar yet, his popularity and talent are already beyond question.

Especially after the release of "The Dark Knight", he won high recognition from audiences and industry professionals.

"I did it."

"This is the first time I've won such a big prize from China."

Nolan handed the trophy to Chen Yu, and everyone congratulated him.

This is not a minor incident.

It's important to understand that the Golden Rooster Awards' establishment of an overseas award for the first time was undoubtedly intended to connect the East and the West.

The main cast and crew of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" were also deeply moved.

Even Ralph Fiennes showed unprecedented excitement.

Especially after seeing Nolan win the award, there is even greater anticipation for the awards that may be given out next.

think carefully.

He has never received any awards from China.

The award ceremony continues.

For Chen Yu, the biggest rivals at this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony should be "Assembly" and "Mei Lanfang".

The previous life.

The Best Feature Film award was shared by "Assembly" and "Mei Lanfang".

As for Best Director, Feng Xiaogang won it.

It's important to know that there was definitely an undercurrent of tension between the two directors at the time.

However, Chen Kaige was not present in his previous life, so no one was able to capture his reaction when he learned the answer.

This time.

With Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang both present, the real show was just beginning.

Chen Yu calmly looked at the stage, his eyes gleaming with a determined light.

The Grand Budapest Hotel won Best Art Direction.

There is virtually no objection to this award.

Whether it's the iconic symmetrical composition, the retro color scheme, or the meticulously crafted scene design, it's all about the overall aesthetic.

The entire film, "The Grand Budapest Hotel," presents the most beautiful scenes to the audience.

This is the first award "The Grand Budapest Hotel" received today.

The entire audience was applauding enthusiastically, a show of support for Chen Yu and his work.

at the same time.

Mao Amin's solo rendition of "Ah, My Hometown" then filled the air.

Chen Yu was already used to this kind of medley of classic songs.

Aside from some changes to the awards and procedures, the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony's performances by guest artists remain largely the same.

Medley of songs, popular hits, and collaborative performances.

Or perhaps it's sand painting or martial arts.

However, Chen Yu still appreciated it, since most of the performances on stage were about Chinese art and culture.

It undoubtedly showcases the unique programs from various regions.

"Distinguished guests and colleagues."

"It's that time of year again for the Golden Rooster Awards. In this year, we have witnessed the ups and downs of many films."

"I also felt the foundation of life that artisans built with their ordinary bodies."

Xi Meijuan's voice came from the stage.

This segment was the most touching tribute of the ceremony, and included the presentation of a lifetime achievement award.

Chen Yu looked towards the position on the stage.

I instinctively clapped.

"she--"

"Not only an outstanding film artist, but also a great mother."

"She dedicated her entire life to the film industry."

"Physical sacrifices made for art, even if it means sacrificing a finger or taking meticulous care of a seriously ill family member."

"None of them have given up their acting careers."

When it comes to this.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but sniff.

Even when faced with life's storms, they still resolutely embarked on their own careers.

"They are artists!"

"It is the unwavering commitment to the film industry and the steadfast dedication over the past decade that have enabled Chinese cinema to possess the strength it has today."

"Now, let us welcome our role model with the highest respect and warmest applause."

"Teacher Qin Yi and Teacher Yu Lan."

As soon as Xi Meijuan finished speaking, two elderly people, nearly 90 years old, were helped onto the stage.

Their gray hair did not diminish their youthful beauty.

Chen Yu stood up at this moment.

The enthusiastic applause was a sign of respect and support for the two veteran artists.

At the same time, everyone present stood up.

Their eyes shone with sincerity; facing these two film artists who sacrificed their personal love for the greater good, they could not help but pay them the highest respect.

The applause from the audience continued for a long time.

this moment.

Art truly breaks through everyone's hearts.

As the two elderly people stood on the stage, Xi Meijuan's voice came again.

"today."

"We are awarding the Golden Rooster Award's highest honor, the Lifetime Achievement Award, to—"

"Qin Yi and Yu Lan."

"This is not just a trophy, but also our highest respect for these two teachers."

The trophy was handed to the two of them.

Although they are both over 90 years old, they are still in very good spirits.

"Thank you!" Qin Yi held the trophy, his eyes clearly filled with tears.

"Whether you are 88 or 98, I will always be behind you and move forward side by side."

The speaker's remarks brought tears to the eyes of all the guests, who applauded once again.

This moment was undoubtedly solemn and moving.

In Chen Yu's view, this tribute segment does indeed possess extremely high power.

This undoubtedly strengthened everyone's faith and hope.

"Thank you to the country, thank you to the people, thank you to the Golden Rooster."

"To have been awarded a lifetime achievement award makes my life worthwhile."

"A person's life is precious. When looking back on the past, never regret having accomplished nothing."

"I believe."

"China's film industry will flourish, and I'll be there whenever the audience needs me!"

boom!
This statement undoubtedly ignited the atmosphere on the field.

What do people chase after throughout their lives?
Fame, status, or money.

Perhaps none of those are true! It's one's own dream, the hope that gives oneself, and the ability to have enough to look forward to for the rest of one's life.

Liu Yifei was already in tears.

now.

She was crying her eyes out.

For her, acting has always been her dream.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei stepped forward and then helped the two elderly people with white hair off the stage.

This scene.

They were all photographed by media reporters.

The interaction and passing of the torch between young and old filmmakers is undoubtedly what allows the art of film to thrive.

Qin Yi patted Liu Yifei's hand. Her calloused hands were dry and rough, yet they inexplicably gave people an extremely strong sense of security.

The applause from the audience continued to rise and fall.

Everyone felt the same way at this moment.

Filmmaking has never been just an art or a profession in the traditional sense; it requires a spirit that needs to be passed down from generation to generation.

Everyone returned to their seats.

For a very long time.

The people present calmed down a bit.

Zhang Guoli took to the stage again, co-hosting today's awards ceremony with Jingwei.

His eyes were slightly red at that moment, clearly indicating that he was moved by the part that had just happened.

"I believe."

"There will always be successors to carry on the legacy of Chinese cinema."

"Just like Chen Yu and Liu Yifei just now, I think they must have taken the baton from Qin Yi and Yu Lan."

"Next, we will be presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor."

Chen Yu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

In his previous life, the Best Supporting Actor award was won by Wang Xueqi for his role in "Mei Lanfang".

Chen Yu largely agreed with this point.

The role of Shisan Yan was definitely the highlight of his acting career.

The performance vividly portrays the complexity and tragedy of a king of the old-era opera world, capturing the intertwining of arrogance and inferiority, and the coexistence of pathos and dignity.

Undoubtedly, he brought to life a complex individual full of human warmth.

In comparison.

Thirteen Swallow is definitely the most outstanding character in the entire play.

Without any pause, Zhang Guoli scanned the crowd below the stage and then blurted out his answer.

“Wang Xueqi in Mei Lanfang”

A roar of cheers erupted from the audience, and Chen Kaige was undoubtedly the happiest.

Even if he's just a supporting actor, it proves that his performance has been well-received.

after all.

This is the first time this work has won an award today.

Next.

The moment everyone has been waiting for has arrived once again: the first overseas award added to the Golden Rooster Awards.

The remaining awards for Most Popular Actor and Actress have already generated considerable anticipation.

Anne Hathaway smoothed her large, wavy hair.

Her bright smile was unforgettable, but her tightly clasped hands betrayed her nervousness.

That's right.

Regardless of the size of the award, winning the Most Popular Overseas Actress award would prove that she has gained recognition in China.

Ralph Fiennes and Bell were also interested.

To know.

Both actors suffered setbacks in their respective films at the time, missing out on awards at major film festivals.

The Golden Rooster Awards ceremony is coming to China for the first time.

If we could bring home a trophy, that would be a pleasant surprise for everyone.

Anne Hathaway wiggled her fingers.

Perhaps noticing the tension in the person in front of her, Liu Yifei took her hand. She could completely understand Anne Hathaway's feelings. When she won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award for the first time, she felt like she was about to faint.

Anne Hathaway.

What?

Anne Hathaway's eyes widened in surprise. She had just been pondering whether she had a chance to win the award, so when she heard her name called on stage, she was completely stunned.

"Honey, you won an award."

Anne Hathaway finally reacted after Liu Yifei said those words.

"OMG!"

"This really fulfilled my dream."

Anne Hathaway, carrying her evening gown, walked radiantly towards the awards stage, looking like an ethereal being.

For the others present...

This scene is also quite novel.

Their close collaboration with overseas actresses undoubtedly ignited their passion.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Applause rose and fell.

Perhaps sensing everyone's friendliness, Anne Hathaway's face broke into a smile as she accepted the trophy.

"Oh! This is such a wonderful surprise."

Bright and generous, beautiful and charming.

Many people would likely feel a sense of goodwill towards such a being.

"I am very grateful to the Golden Rooster Awards. This award is truly meaningful to me."

"I have always loved Chinese film art, especially the stories and filmmakers here, which always give me the most novel experiences and inspiration."

"Receiving the title of most popular is also the greatest praise of my career."

Anne Hathaway held up the trophy in her hands.

Kissed him directly.

This scene once again drew applause from the audience.

In comparison, their attendance at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony is enough to demonstrate their respect for China.

"I hope to collaborate with more Chinese filmmakers in the future."

"at last--"

"I'll end with a quote I just learned from Crystal backstage."

Thank you! I love you all!

It must be said that Chen Yu collaborated with many people.

Both the director and the actors showed a remarkably warm and friendly attitude towards the entire Chinese nation.

The sincerity and excitement they showed when they received the award could not be faked.

Anne Hathaway has slowly walked down from the stage.

this moment.

Everyone truly experienced the collision of Eastern and Western cultures.

This cross-border artistic resonance allowed them to experience this joy.

The Golden Rooster Awards ceremony provides a platform that truly allows people to experience profound meaning.

future.

I believe that more filmmakers will come to China and go international! (End of Chapter)
