Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 522 Things are unpredictable
The seats in the Zhongshan Auditorium are in an arch shape, as if guarding the stage in the middle. There is nothing wrong with the design, but the venue feels small and not so grand.

The place was already filled with celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong. Some were chatting, while others were laughing.

But when they saw the principal, all communication seemed to come to a halt, and they all looked towards the principal with curiosity and awe.

They may have looked down on the principal in the past, but after this incident, they have been respecting him from the bottom of their hearts.

Many people just looked and didn't say hello.

Fang Hong greeted Xie Miao, Liao Fan, Lu Yang and the people behind Yutu who he was familiar with, but he didn't know anyone else.

He is familiar with very few people in this circle, they are all those he met in the early days, and he basically had no contact with them later.

Liu Tianxian has some familiar people here, and she is very familiar with Yi Nengjing.

Two years ago, Yi Nengjing asked for Liu Tianxian’s WeChat at the Bazaar Gala. The two often chatted online, so they were very familiar with each other.

"Sister Jing, you look so good, it seems like good things are coming!" Liu Tianxian saw Yi Nengjing and Qin Hao holding hands, looking very affectionate.

The two had announced their relationship on Weibo in September this year, but since neither of them seemed to be very famous, it didn't attract much attention.

Netizens who follow the two of them will naturally know, and those who don’t will naturally not know.

"Hahaha, we are getting married at the beginning of next year." Yi Nengjing said with a smile.

"Oh, really? Congratulations then."

Liu Tianxian looked at Qin Hao in surprise and shook hands with him politely.

"Thank you!"

Qin Hao was a little shy and couldn't help but glance at Fang Hong.

I want to curry favor with him, but I don't dare.

This person had been acting in art films before, and wanted to switch to commercial films, otherwise he would not lower his status to act in some web dramas, or play supporting roles for some small actresses.

To put it bluntly, they just want to be famous, nothing else, art films don't make money.

They are about to get married, it is impossible for them to grow old and act out some nonsense for their dreams, they still have to live their lives and be realistic.

It's just that he was unlucky. Even though he has great acting skills, he couldn't become popular again with the roles he played. If he had become popular like Zhang Songwen by playing "Gao Qiqiang", he wouldn't have played a supporting role to Yang Mi.

"Okay, we'll go over first." Liu Tianxian gestured.

"Okay, go ahead." Yi Nengjing nodded.

Just as the two of them had walked a few steps down the aisle, Zhang greeted them, "Hello, Principal, Xianxian."

"Hello!" Liu Tianxian responded. This was not very familiar. Although he had met her several times, it was not the case that one would become familiar with the other just by meeting him many times.

"Are you also coming to Taiwan from Beijing?" Zhang Ziyi pulled the two of them aside to chat.

"Yes." Liu Tianxian said.

"Oh, I should have come together earlier." Zhang Ziyi clapped her hands, looking very regretful.

Don’t others feel a little disgusted when seeing this hypocritical act? Is it necessary to lick like this?

"Hehehe, yes."

Liu Tianxian acted very normal, pointed to the front and said, "The ceremony is about to begin, we'll leave first."

"Okay, go ahead." International Zhang also knew that she was not very familiar with the girl, so she didn't force her to join. She just wanted to get to know her and remember her.

After greeting people, the two went to the front row, which was full of old guys from Taiwan, such as Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, and Sylvia Chang.

They also took a special look at Fang Hong.

Gong Huang was also here, and Fang Hong and the other man were sitting next to her. Since they had met each other several times, the three of them nodded in greeting.

Gong Huang said: "The principal is really the center of attention. Everyone looked at you sideways when you entered the room."

"It's just an empty name." Fang Hong waved his hand, acting quite modestly.

"Sister Gong Li, you're going to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress this time." Liu Tianxian leaned forward slightly and looked past Fang Hong.

"It's hard to say for sure. Both you and I may get it." Gong Huang remembered that it was she who awarded Liu Tianxian the golden cup.

The movie "Bouquet" is now a contender for the Golden Horse Awards. It's really unpredictable.

"I watched Coming Home, your acting was so great, I can't compete with you, it's definitely yours, no problem"

As soon as Liu Tianxian said this, she felt Fang Hong's hand on her arm to stop her. She was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Don't be so confident. Things are unpredictable." Fang Hong felt that he could not let Liu Tianxian continue talking.

If she continues talking, it will be so embarrassing and awkward if Emperor Gong doesn't get it.

He knew that this year's Golden Horse Awards were problematic and controversial. It was not won by Gong Huang, but was given to someone with problematic ideology.

"Yes, things are unpredictable!" Gong Huang agreed.

Although she didn't show any emotion on her face, she still had the hope of winning the award in her heart.

Otherwise, I haven't participated in all these years, and only came this year. How could I come if I didn't want to win a prize?

Liu Tianxian didn't say anything, but still tilted her head and whispered to Fang Hong: "I think Gong Huang will take it."

"Why don't you think you can take it?" Fang Hong said.

"I know myself well." Liu Tianxian said.

"Before you came, you told me that if I got it, I should always have something to think about. Oh, now you're here you say the same thing again." Fang Hong was speechless.

"Oh, it's different. Who is the peak at the end of acting skills? Once you meet Gong Huang, everything will be in vain." Liu Tianxian laughed.

"Who did you learn from? You can even recite poetry now."

"I'm telling you that. Don't you always say that to me?"

"."

There was a quiet exchange of words in the venue, but soon the lights in the venue went out and the stage lights became brighter.

A song and dance was performed on the stage, and Huang Zijiao and Chen Jiahua came on stage to host the show.

Ella Chen is the E in SHE, who looks more masculine.

The two introduced some celebrities.

One introduces and the other one supports.

"Chen Jianbin's "A Spoon", which he wrote, directed and starred in, was nominated for Best Screenwriter, Best New Director and Best Actor."

"Congratulations, Teacher Jianbin, you're awesome!" Applause broke out at the scene. The camera turned to Chen Jianbin, who was smiling, with his wife Jiang Qinqin next to him.

"Xie Miao reminded me of my childhood. This should be his first starring role in the movie "Embroidered Spring Blade" after he grew up, and he was nominated for the Best Actor."

"It's a childhood memory. I hope you can win the award." Ella Chen raised her fist, looking very powerful.

Xie Miao smiled and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.

"Liao Fan, the Berlin Film Festival winner, is the first time a Chinese actor has won the Berlin Film Festival."

"Wow, that's amazing, so powerful."

"When I think of Berlin, I think of Gong Huang. Gong Huang is the jury chairperson of the 27th Berlin Film Festival. She has been in the film industry for years, has produced countless works, and has a first-rate reputation. This year is her first time to be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards."

"Wow! Sister Gong Li, you are finally here."

The camera turned to Gong Huang, who smiled and nodded to everyone.

She is in a pretty good mood now, but she doesn't know whether she will be in a good mood later. It depends on whether Fang Hong's butterfly effect wings are strong enough.

Although he changed many things, he rarely changed the personal destiny of others.

"Tianxian was nominated five times, but didn't win the award four times. It can be said that she failed repeatedly."

"Not necessarily. She is now a Golden Goblet Award winner and has won awards a long time ago."

“Really?” Ella Chen said with an exaggerated expression: “Congratulations then. I hope you can succeed this time too!”

Liu Tianxian smiled and expressed her gratitude.

Fang Hong crossed his legs and appeared very calm.

The two hosts were cooperating with each other on the stage, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding. They must have rehearsed it.

Soon the first award was given out: Best Look.

The five films nominated for this award are "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame", "No Man's Land", "KANO", "Paradise in Service" and "Knife of the Assassin".

"Liang Tingting, Embroidered Spring Blade!" The presenter on the stage directly announced the winner.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian looked back and saw a beautiful woman with long straight black hair and a flowing long skirt.

After Liang Tingting and her friend were happy, they lifted their skirts and walked down the stairs slowly. They were really slow, as if they were not in a hurry at all.

She walked to the front desk and shook hands with Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian.

"Congratulations."

"congratulations."

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian expressed their congratulations.

"Thank you, Principal, thank you, goddess." Liang Tingting has a round face and is pretty.

Then she went on stage, and she moved very slowly, especially when she was going up the stairs, she looked like she was about to trip.

"Is this someone from your company?" Liu Tianxian asked in a low voice.

"Probably, I don't know." Fang Hong shook his head.

There are thousands or even tens of thousands of people in Yutu Company. How can he recognize who is who?

"I never thought that I would be the first to receive this award. I'm still on stage watching the show. My heart is about to explode."

Liang Tingting was giving her acceptance speech on the stage. She spoke in pauses, her chest heaving, as if she was very excited.

"I would like to thank Director Lu Yang for giving me such a large creative space. I would also like to thank my colleagues in the makeup team and the Yutu platform. The principal is here. Thank you, principal."

After she finished speaking, she raised the trophy and applause broke out from the audience.

Then she slowly went backstage to be interviewed by reporters, but no one watched her interview.

The next award was for Best Documentary, which was won by a film called "Cotton".

The next award was for Best Supporting Actress, which was won by Wan Qian, and the audience burst into applause.

Afterwards, "Tuina" won the Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best New Actor awards, and the film's creator won five awards in a row.

Lou Ye is still talented, and his art films have a lot of advantages in winning awards, but they just don't make money.

Andy Lau and Kwai Lun-mei came on stage to present the Best Creative Short Film and Best Supporting Actor awards, and a group of presenters presented the two awards.

There are too many awards and not enough presenters, so this is the only way.

The Best Supporting Actor award was won by Chen Jianbin!

Pu Shu went on stage and sang a song called "Ordinary Road". He seemed to be particularly absorbed in the singing. He didn't interact with others and just sang to himself.

But the singing was quite nice and full of emotion.

After the singing, the Best Visual Effects and Best Action Design awards were presented.

The Best Action Choreography Award for "The Blade of the Assassin" was also nominated, but was won by a movie called "Fire Heroes".

The Golden Horse Awards have become long and boring, with some touching characters in the middle, and several white-haired elderly people receiving Lifetime Achievement Awards and Outstanding Film Workers of the Year.

Anyway, if you don’t understand and have no contact with the film market here, you won’t know these people at all.

The best original film music award went to "Coming Home"; the best original film song award went to "Ordinary Road" from "See You Tomorrow".

Pu Shu's acceptance speech was very stiff, but the people at the scene still applauded him.

"This person seems so introverted." Liu Tianxian said.

"He is an artist. He only has art in his eyes. He seldom communicates with others. Of course he is introverted," said Fang Hong.

"Oh, I quite like such people, pure." Liu Tianxian said.

On the stage, King Zhang sang a song with one hand raised with his index finger, chasing cigarette butts with his feet, and the award ceremony continued.

Chen Jianbin won the Best New Director award again!

Later, the Best Director award was won by Ann Hui for "The Golden Era". After this award, the Best Actor award came up.

It should have been the Best Actress award, but this year Gong Huang is competing for the award, so this award is very important this year.

Not only was it placed behind the Best Actor, but also behind the Best Director, and only before the final grand prize, Best Feature Film, which can be said to be given great importance.

Let’s put it this way, none of the actors here is as important as Gong Huang.

With this in mind, everyone thinks this award should be given to Gong Huang!
