Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 276 It’s so funny to see you

The award ceremony officially began. Hua Shao and Yi Yi came on stage to host the ceremony, speaking the connecting words, and then began to present the first award of the day: the Best Animation Award.

All the guests have sat in their seats, looking at the stage in silence, appearing very quiet.

The lights were dim, with only the stage being brighter.

Liu Tianxian sat sideways, lowering her head slightly as she helped Fang Hong adjust the lotus-shaped flower on his chest. It was a bit loose and not beautiful when she wore it just now.

Fang Hong looked at her serious little expression, which seemed gentle as water in the dim light.

"Okay!" Liu Tianxian pressed the small flower.

"You'd better pay attention to something else. The staff are so ugly and not serious at all." Fang Hong looked down.

"Yeah! I'm handy."

Liu Tianxian waved her slender hands in front of him, looking quite proud.

Sun Li next to them looked at the two of them, then looked back at the stage.

She had heard it from her husband a long time ago, and there was no gossip.

This award ceremony seemed quite formal. It was not as grand and lively as the Golden Horse Awards, but it was a formal award ceremony.

When announcing the award recipient, you can only give a few compliments at most, such as a top director, a famous actor, etc.!
After the award was announced, the audience applauded seriously and the atmosphere was quite serious. That was it.

Here, awards for television, film and short films are presented together because there are not too many messy awards.

For example, there are no awards for best original score, styling, art, or photography.

There are very few awards to be presented, all of which are the well-known awards for male and female leading actors, male and female supporting actors, screenwriters, and directors.

This is still more for movies, there are even fewer for TV series, just five awards: Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Director, Best TV Series, and Best TV Variety Show. That’s it.

Obviously this award ceremony is not mature, not even as good as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards. The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are more professional than this. No wonder it attracts so little attention.

Liu Tianxian won this award in her previous life, but it didn't even make a splash.

These categories of awards are put together obviously to make up the duration, otherwise with just those few awards, all would have been awarded in a short time.

For the singing and dancing session, the organizers invited several champions of “The Voice of China” to perform at the film festival.

There isn't even a decent star or singer.

The awards for TV dramas are now being presented. The Best TV Drama Award was won by "The Legend of Zhen Huan". TV creators Sun Li and Zheng Xiaolong both went up to receive the award.

After giving her speech and leaving the stage, Sun Li hadn't even had time to warm up before she won the Best TV Actress Award. She had to go on stage again and was very busy.

Afterwards, the Best Actor award was won by Zhang Jiayi;

The Best Director award must go to Zheng Xiaolong. The main creators are all here, it would be unreasonable not to give him a grand slam.

The applause from the audience was very sparse!

The next award was for film, and the Contribution Award was won by Ge Da Ge.

Just like that, whoever was called for the award went up to receive it, and then there was no laughter from the audience, just applause. It could be said that there was no life in the whole thing.

Even if people are talking, they speak as quietly as possible so as not to disturb others.

After the series of awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress in the Film were announced, a staff member came over and whispered something to Fang Hong.

"I have something to do, I'll go out for a while." Fang Hong whispered to Liu Tianxian beside him.

"Ok."

Liu Tianxian nodded, watched him stand up, followed her line of sight, and watched him follow the staff's instructions and walk backstage, then she retracted her gaze.

The next award should be for Best Actress in a Film.

There are several nominees, including Ning Jing's "Funny Ascension", Big S's "Million Dollar Crocodile", Huang Shengyi's "Overnight Fame", Chrissie Chau's "Cold Eyes", and Liu Tianxian's "Bad Genius".

Only Liu Tianxian and Big S came here, no one else came, so according to the unspoken rules, only these two people were competing.

Although it was just a small award, Liu Tianxian still became inexplicably nervous.

The award ceremony was still going on, and the host Yi Yi came on stage: "The next award we are going to present is a film award, the Best Actress Award for a Film."

"Let's see who will win the award this time? Let's invite the award presenter, Fang Hong, chairman of Jade Rabbit Pictures, to the stage. Please come on stage," Hua Shao invited.

When Liu Tianxian heard the name of the award presenter, she was surprised. How did this man become the award presenter? He didn't even say a word.

As the applause sounded, she saw Fang Hong walking up to the stage in a suit and tie, and people of five or six stood in front of the podium, which was the same as the chairman's desk.

Fang Hong looked at the audience and raised his eyebrows at Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "You little brat, you're so mysterious." Then she straightened her face, looked serious and threatening, "If you don't win the prize, I'll beat you to death."

"This is the first time I present an award on such a big stage. I feel a little honored, but also a little nervous. I am deeply gratified to see so many outstanding film and television workers here. It is you who support the Chinese film and television industry."

Fang Hong said a lot, which raised the award ceremony to a very high level and also raised the level of the people present to a very high level.

However, the people below had calm expressions and no reaction, as if they were listening to something mysterious.

He looked at the audience and said, "You guys don't seem to be reacting. Am I talking too much?"

"Clap clap clap!"

There was immediate applause from the audience, along with some light laughter.

Liu Tianxian wanted to cover his face. The previous presenters just gave out the awards directly, but he just started talking a lot.

"Not much, not much. You can continue talking, Principal." Hua Shao said with a smile.

This can extend the duration, so that the host doesn't have to talk for a long time while the audience doesn't respond, which is so awkward.

"Let's just give out the awards. Don't make people wait impatiently. They're obviously looking forward to it, and it would be bad if I dampened their enthusiasm." Fang Hong was still very humorous.

There was a slight laugh from the audience again. It had been dead silent before, but when the principal came up, the award ceremony became more interesting.

But no one said anything about him, not even the leaders, because of his status.

The nominee Big S also smiled. She was not looking forward to it at first, but he made her look forward to it.

Liu Tianxian remained the same, sitting upright.

"Best Actress Award, Liu Tianxian!" Fang Hong pointed to the audience and announced directly. Soothing music sounded, and Liu Tianxian was surprised. She followed the guidance of the etiquette lady and walked towards the stage.

The applause at the scene remained the same, sparse.

The people in the audience were not shocked or surprised. It seemed like a common occurrence and very normal.

Even Big S just collapsed for a moment, so it wasn't too surprising.

Fang Hong watched Liu Tianxian come on stage. The two of them faced each other, bowed slightly out of courtesy, and shook hands lightly.

Then Fang Hong took the crystal trophy from the etiquette lady's tray and handed it to Liu Tianxian with both hands, being extremely polite.

Liu Tianxian bowed again and took it with both hands.

The two looked at each other and wanted to laugh, but they held it back. The main reason was that they had known each other for such a long time, but had never been so polite and formal before.

Liu Tianxian always gets violent when she's unhappy; Fang Hong always scolds her when he's unhappy. This is the first time they've done this.

Fang Hong secretly clenched his fist to encourage her, then left the stage and left it to her.

Liu Tianxian took the microphone from the host and said: "Thank you director for giving me such a good role, thank you to all the creators of this play, and thank you to all the audiences for their love for this play. I will continue to improve myself and bring you better performances. Thank you!"

After she finished speaking, she raised the trophy and walked off the stage.

He spoke very briefly. The people who presented awards and won prizes here all spoke briefly and did not speak that long. Fang Hong was an exception.

"Congratulations to Liu Tianxian. I think this award is the common answer in everyone's mind. So if you are holding a mobile phone, you can put it down first and give Liu Tianxian some enthusiastic applause." Hua Shao has a good eloquence.

"Clap clap clap!"

Applause started again.

Liu Tianxian sat down in her seat amid the applause and looked at the man sitting next to her.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly covered my mouth.

"Is it that funny?" Fang Hong wondered.

"It's funny. I find it especially funny when I see you up there." Liu Tianxian laughed.

"Be more reserved. You're an award winner now." Fang Hong patted her arm, signaling her to be calm.

Liu Tianxian couldn't help wanting to laugh again. She looked around and found that everyone was looking at the stage with serious expressions. On the stage, Zhang Huijun received the Outstanding Contribution Award for Film Education.

I don't know what the point of setting up such an award is.

"Hey, did you know that I was going to win this award?" Liu Tianxian asked.

"Yes." Fang Hong said.

In fact, he was called over and the organizer asked him to go on stage to present the award and directly told him who won the award.

Not rigorous at all, just casual!

"You didn't even tell me." Liu Tianxian was unhappy.

"This is a little surprise for you. It would be meaningless if I told you."

Fang Hong tilted his head and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, how does it feel to win the award?"

"Very good, it's even better that it was awarded to me by you. It makes me feel that this award is meaningful." Liu Tianxian held the trophy.

Although it was a mere award, it was her first Best Actress award in a movie and also the first award given to her by Fang Hong.

Fang Hong smiled and rubbed her pretty face.

The two were whispering as the award ceremony on the stage was coming to an end.

The Best Director award went to Ye Junhuai, whom I don’t know; the Best Actor award went to Yu Entai; the Best Feature Film award went to "Crazy Mom"; and the Outstanding Contribution Award went to Zhang Yimou.

Lao Mouzi didn't come and someone else led the ceremony on his behalf. Now Lao Mouzi is overwhelmed by his good brother and has no time to attend any award ceremony.

He didn't even show his face. He became autistic because of the scolding and his mentality was very unstable.

The award ceremony ended without any major incidents, and naturally news broke that Liu Tianxian won the Macau Best Actress award.

Who can blame her for being so popular and controversial? Being popular and controversial, the media naturally pays attention to her every move, but netizens don't seem to be interested in this award.

Since the fans are more enthusiastic, the black fans will naturally continue to spread the same things about Liu Tianxian without any effort.

The more successful Liu Tianxian becomes, the more they want to kill or cripple her.

"Lost in Thailand" was released as scheduled and the box office has come out. The first three days were the same as most movies, with around 30 to 50 million, a normal start.

But as word of mouth spread, the box office suddenly jumped to 9051 million on the fourth day, almost exceeding million, which really shocked the industry.

The box office on the fifth day was 8536 million, which means it just exceeded 3 million in five days. People still like to watch comedy movies!
The work directed by Xu Guangtou has become the king of the current schedule.

The media had a bad taste and wanted to see how Feng Kuzi would react, so he posted: "There is still a long way to go, keep up the good work"

After this Weibo post was released, it was forwarded more than 1.8 times and received nearly 1.2 comments.

"Director Feng is so jealous! I want to ask Director Feng, which of your movies has such box office performance? Where are you from?"

"You should go back to making urban comedies. That's your strength!"

"."

Many netizens mocked Feng Kuazi for being so sour.

However, Xu Guangtou was very modest and reposted Feng Kuzi's Weibo comment: "Thank you Director Xiaogang for your support and encouragement. I am a primary school student in this field and need the guidance of the seniors. I also hope that everyone will not only look at my movies in terms of box office performance, but also bring some positive energy to the Chinese film market together."

After this Weibo post was released, it was forwarded more than 2 times and received nearly 2 comments.

"Look, what Brother Zheng said is so comforting! I always feel that there is a hint of sourness in Feng Kuazi's words!"

"A modest gentleman!"

"."

In stark contrast to the treatment Feng Kuzi received, many netizens praised Xu Guangtou in their comments.

At this time, Xu Guangtou still has a good reputation, but Feng Kuzi is always arguing with people and his reputation has been ruined.
