Full-time actor

"The script is the foundation of a play."

"It plays a core and soul role in the entire film creation process."

Zhang Guoli stood upright on the awards stage, dressed in a suit.

This time, when he attended the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, he not only served as the host, but also personally wrote the script.

It can be said.

He undoubtedly possesses the most enthusiastic attitude when it comes to handling work.

"Screenwriters undoubtedly hold the most central position in the entire filmmaking process; they are the ones who write one vivid character and story after another."

"Now."

"Let's invite director Zheng Dongtian and actress Ma Yili to present us with the Best Screenplay Award."

Applause erupted from the audience.

It's worth noting that Ma Yili's career in the entertainment industry is currently at its peak, and she is undoubtedly a recognized top-tier actress in mainland Chinese television dramas.

Whether it's Xia Lin in "Struggle" or Zhao Xiaoyun, the widow in "Good People of Jiangbei".

She is able to let her acting skills speak for themselves.

In addition, her role in "Marriage Defense" with Tong Dawei this year has further solidified her status as a top-tier actress.

Ma Yili held the award certificate in her hand, her gaze fixed on the audience below the stage.

"I am delighted to be a presenter for the Best Screenplay award."

"Now, please look at the big screen!"

The following individuals were nominated for Best Screenplay at the 27th Golden Rooster Awards:

Ma Yili held up the award certificate in her hand, and then the list of nominees appeared on the big screen.

"The College Entrance Examination 1977" -- Jiang Haiyang, Gu Bai, Zong Fuxian
"We'll see" -- Shu Ping
"The Beginning of Spring" -- Li Qiang
The Story of Clear Water -- Cheng Xiaoling

The Grand Budapest Hotel -- Chen Yu
Nolan became interested.

In his view, The Grand Budapest Hotel has the potential to win awards.

Although it didn't achieve great results in China, it has a very high reputation throughout North America.

The story conveys emotions through color.

Gorgeous.

It definitely possesses exceptional artistic talent.

At this moment, the crowd below the stage began to discuss among themselves.

To be honest, the screenwriters of these works are among the best in the industry.

Apart from Chen Yu.

She usually focuses more on acting, but the scripts she has written recently are all very touching.

This young actor in his early twenties has gradually entered the public eye with his sincerity and talent.

Chen Yu did not react much.

The winners of the Best Screenplay Award in the previous life were Jiang Haiyang and others for "College Entrance Examination 1977," and their abilities were indeed quite good.

The script doesn't rely on grand narratives; instead, it captures major historical turning points for both the nation and individuals.

This is definitely a historical subject that appeals to the entire nation.

To allow everyone to feel the changes that the times have brought to them.

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu beside her.

In comparison, the four works shortlisted today are all quite influential.

You can see the underlying qualities of these screenwriters in every work.

The underlying qualities of these screenwriters determine the soul of their works. People and works complement each other, and the style and level presented to the audience are different.

Ma Yili opened the award letter in her hand.

Upon seeing the names of the winners above, the smile on their faces was obvious.

This has led to speculation among the public.

If it's based on seniority, then naturally the top few are more likely to win.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

Shu Ping alone has many well-known works.

In 1997, he collaborated with Zhang Yimou on the urban comedy "Keep Cool".

And then there was his long-term collaboration with Jiang Wen, including films like "Devils on the Doorstep," "The Sun Also Rises," and the recently much-discussed "Let the Bullets Fly."

These works undoubtedly have one thing in common.

It is a household name.

Of these five contestants, everyone is definitely more inclined to choose the one with more seniority.

but--

The Golden Rooster Awards have never focused on these things; they prefer to evaluate the quality of the script based on the core essence of the film.

Does the script convey values? Is it meaningful? Are there any points of reference?
These factors combined are all quite important.

The script serves as the blueprint, and the finished film serves as the verification.

Regardless of the film's success or the screenwriter's qualifications, what he wanted was the most authentic feeling.

The audience was completely silent.

Everyone is waiting for the moment when the answer will be revealed.

Ma Yili handed the award letter to Zheng Dongtian, clearly inviting him to reveal the next answer.

The latter understands it perfectly.

Let's congratulate them!

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 27th Golden Rooster Awards is—Chen Yu!"

OMG!

The entire stadium erupted in chaos instantly.

After a brief moment of shock, the entire venue erupted in applause and screams.

to be frank.

Upon closer reflection, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" truly deserves its reputation.

It's important to know that the entire work employs a unique and ingenious narrative technique, unfolding the story through multiple perspectives.

It's remarkable that a young man in his early twenties possesses such cultural depth.

It's definitely something that deserves applause.

Nolan's eyes were overflowing with surprise.

Hey! Friend.

"I knew this award would belong to you."

Clearly, Chen Yu's winning the award was a greater surprise than if he had won it himself.

Through close collaboration with this young Chinese filmmaker, he had long regarded him as a close friend.

Chen Yu straightened the wrinkles on his suit at that moment.

The moment he stood up, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause once again.

They celebrated and cheered for it.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, there was also a mixture of envy and jealousy.

Wang Zhonglei stared at that spirited figure, his back teeth practically grinding to powder.

OK! Really OK!

He won the Grand Slam of Best Actor awards in his twenties, was vying for Best Director, and is now aiming for the Best Screenplay award.

This is no longer just a threat to Huayi.

It's likely that the entire Chinese film and television industry will have to take on this role.

However, Wang Zhonglei seems to never be able to understand this kind of shallow reasoning.

From beginning to end.

Chen Yu's idea was simple: he wanted to lead China's film industry to challenge Hollywood and showcase itself on a broader platform.

He has never regarded anyone as his opponent.

After embracing each of his companions, Chen Yu's gaze finally settled on Liu Yifei, his eyes filled with undisguised love.

"come on!"

Liu Yifei mouthed the words.

When their eyes meet, there is a love that no one else can see.

The triumphant movie star strode towards the spot directly in front of him.

Best Screenplay.

He finally won the award he couldn't win at the Golden Rooster Awards last time this year.

As Chen Yu stood on the stage, Ma Yili gave him a warm hug.

She greatly admired the top celebrity in the entertainment industry who was nearly ten years younger than her.

Unfortunately.

The two had no opportunity to work together.

Their main focus is different; television dramas are Ma Yili's comfort zone, while Chen Yu's domain is the film industry.

They were like two lines that never intersected. "Congratulations, Chen Yu!"

"You've achieved another milestone."

That's right, whether it's actors, directors, or screenwriters nowadays.

Chen Yu seemed to be holding a gun the whole time, handling everything with ease from beginning to end.

"Thank you."

Chen Yu accepted the trophy and certificate from Ma Yili.

The golden trophy and the red certificate intertwine to create an exquisite aesthetic.

"Thank you, Golden Rooster Awards."

"Thank you to the jury for this honor. This award is for the historical significance behind The Grand Budapest Hotel."

"When I picked up my pen, I was thinking about how to breathe soul into each character."

"Mr. Gustave, the embodiment of the old world, may be seen as pretentious by many."

"But when I was creating it, I only felt that it was brave and sincere."

"That decadent spiritual world endures through the friendship between Mr. Gustave and Zero."

"future--"

"I will write more wonderful stories."

Unlike previous acceptance speeches, Chen Yu spoke about the true core of the script for "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Ralph Fiennes was the first to stand up; his support for Chen Yu had long surpassed everything else.

All the key members of the creative team behind "The Grand Budapest Hotel" also stood up.

They were very grateful to Chen Yu for bringing them into the world of The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Let them feel the rise and fall of this era, and the sorrow of the decline of traditional European civilization under the ravages of war.

Amidst applause, Chen Yu slowly returned to his seat.

"Honey, you're amazing."

The joy in Liu Yifei's eyes was fully revealed; it was the best emotion conveyed through her inner feelings.

His eyes seemed to hold the stars.

have to say.

This award was unexpected by everyone, yet it also seemed perfectly reasonable.

No one denies Chen Yu's abilities.

Just as the box office performance of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" in China was not high, people blamed Chen Yu's box office appeal and the limitations of artistic works, but never blamed Chen Yu's acting skills.

This Grand Slam Best Actor winner.

He has consistently proven his abilities to everyone.

now.

The Best Screenplay award had already ignited a climax, with the entire live stream filled with praise.

The viewership ratings were off the charts.

People are already used to this situation, and there has been a rumor circulating in the industry for a long time.

Whether it's an awards ceremony or a film, Chen Yu's presence guarantees high viewership ratings.

"Brilliant!"

"Our Brother Yu is simply a god-like existence."

"Acting, screenwriting, directing, music? Is there any field our Brother Yu hasn't explored?"

“Well-deserved.”

"Although The Grand Budapest Hotel is somewhat obscure and difficult to understand, it is still a powerful film."

Netizens were discussing it animatedly.

This is Chen Yu's first major independent award today.

Everyone naturally went to offer their congratulations with joy.

All the key members of the "Grand Budapest Hotel" team have gathered together.

This trip was worthwhile for them.

After all, seeing their own film win is also a joyful experience for them.

The atmosphere on the field was almost heated.

Soon, the list of the most popular male actors overseas was also released.

Ralph Fiennes.

This man, who had missed out on major awards at various film festivals, has now clearly achieved his wish.

Although Bell was somewhat disappointed, he was able to accept it.

After all, Ralph Fiennes' performance in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" was truly impressive.

It can fully explain his contradictions.

Ralph Fiennes has reclaimed his award for Most Popular Actor Overseas.

He was naturally in a good mood.

Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, his smile grew even brighter.

"Next, we'll announce the grand prize—"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu in front of her. Apart from the Best Foreign Language Film award, which had not yet been announced, there were only the Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Feature Film awards left.

As something that everyone is eagerly anticipating.

This is enough to prove that the great battle to come has only just begun.

Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige sat upright.

Best Director, that's the award they're really looking forward to now.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that they are competing against each other this time is enough to make them extremely competitive.

Whether it's Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, or Chen Yu, they are all among the most famous figures in the entire Chinese film industry.

only.

Following the established order, the next award to be announced should be the newly added Best Foreign Language Film.

this year.

There are many films that qualify for the Best Foreign Language Film award, but only a handful actually win.

Nolan's gaze swept across what was in front of him.

The Dark Knight has been a huge hit in the last two years, but whether it will win an award is another matter.

After all, he had just won a Most Popular Director award.

One should never be too greedy.

Chen Yu took in all of his reactions and could see that Nolan indeed maintained an extremely friendly attitude towards China.

Whether it's actively cooperating or in any other aspect, he is able to remain consistent from beginning to end.

"Are you confident?"

what--

When Chen Yu suddenly asked him this question, Nolan was clearly a little taken aback.

But he quickly burst into laughter.

"Have!"

"Our 'Dark Knight' is a phenomenal hit, and no other work has been able to surpass its popularity in the past two years."

These words were naturally whispered between the two.

It's fine to talk about it privately, but if it's brought up in public, it might cause controversy.

In Chen Yu's view, it was also about having confidence.

The Dark Knight achieved even more spectacular results than its predecessor, and the Golden Rooster Awards will naturally make its own judgment.

Whispers began to circulate behind me.

Clearly, some people are already getting impatient.

They were eager to know who would win the grand prize.

Best Foreign Language Film – The Dark Knight.

The crowd cheered, believing that there was indeed no work more popular than The Dark Knight.

It is not only the best work, but also the most popular blockbuster movie in the past two years.

Nolan's feelings upon winning this award can no longer be described as mere excitement.

When Chen Yu saw Nolan go on stage to accept the award, he was genuinely happy for him.

same.

The distribution of the Golden Rooster Awards this time is truly both laughable and lamentable.

At this point, all the additional overseas awards have been presented, and the overall effect is quite good.

Next-

The moment that thrilled the entire Chinese film industry has arrived.

Who will ultimately win the four major awards? (End of Chapter)
