Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 544 Love is stronger than gold
The atmosphere at the scene became more lively due to Cui Yongyuan's ridicule and sarcasm.

The guests and audience also laughed continuously, treating it as a joke. They did not feel any ill will towards the principal because of the revelation, nor did they feel that they had offended the principal.

On the contrary, I feel that the principal is more clear-headed than other people at the same level. I used to think that he was insidious, but after being treated like this, I can't help but feel more favorable towards him.

Of course, this is a change in people's mentality, which is imperceptible to individuals and is a subconscious change.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room did not scold the principal. They all posted dynamic comments like "Haha", just thinking it was interesting.

A person who dares to expose his dark side to the sun, and such dark side is harmless, will only be looked up to and understood by others, and will not have any derogatory elements.

There is a saying that goes, if you put down your butcher knife you can become a Buddha instantly, and a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.

If you change from a good person to a bad person, it is unforgivable; but if you change from a bad person to a good person, it is easily forgiven. This is the social reality.

A good person may do a thousand good things but no one will remember him. But a bad person may do one good thing but people will remember him.

"Xiao Fang has changed this time." Zhang Hongsen whispered.

"Are you talking about character or personality?" Zhang Huijun was confused.

"His personality and character remain to be seen," said Zhang Hongsen.

"It's okay. He's already better than many people. Many people can't do it to his level. Who wants to be ridiculed and mocked like this?" Zhang Huijun smiled.

Zhang Hongsen nodded silently, that was true.

At this time, Cui Yongyuan was still speaking on the stage. Although his speech was halting, it was clear and logical.

"The principal is the leader of this film festival. He has made this originally insignificant award well-known to everyone. No matter what the process is, we have to recognize that what he has done is very meaningful and great!"

Cui Yongyuan gave a thumbs up to the audience.

Fang Hong clasped his hands together in the audience to express his gratitude. It was much better to receive praise from such a person than from those sanctimonious pseudo-literati who said “No way!”

At least they are not hypocritical or pretentious!

"Liu Tianxian is the ambassador of this film festival. Just looking at her image, she is beautiful, elegant and artistic, which is a pleasure to watch. This is very consistent with Macau, which is also an elegant and stylish city."

Cui Yongyuan has become more sweet-mouthed. He should stop being sarcastic all the time.

Liu Tianxian stood up, covered her chest with her hands, and bowed slightly to the stage to express her gratitude.

In fact, it is not a joke or satire on the two people, but it is actually an introduction to them, and by the way, it mentions the contributions and things they have done.

Her fans clapped their hands, and the audience in the live broadcast room also frantically brushed her name, covering up other words.

"I just heard that Liu Tianxian and the principal are in a relationship. I'm not sure whether it is true or not. Liu Tianxian, you hold hands with the principal and prove it to everyone. I'm afraid I have misunderstood you." Cui Yongyuan looked at the audience.

This was to make up for what he had just said about the two being "husband and wife". After all, he had only heard it and did not know whether it was true or not.

Liu Tianxian tilted her head, smiled gently, and grabbed Fang Hong's hand beside her, appearing very generous.

"Oh oh oh." There was a sudden burst of booing at the scene. This was the rhythm of a public display of love.

When the guests saw this scene, some laughed, some were envious, some were jealous, some curled their lips in disdain, and so on.

For example, Yang Mi, who was watching the live broadcast, curled her lips and looked disdainful.

The emotions of the audience in the live broadcast room were even more varied, and the most common saying was: "Let go of that dog's paw."

On the Internet, a hot search quickly emerged:
#Liu Tianxian holds hands with the principal! #
This trending search brought unlimited traffic to the Macau Film Festival. Those who didn’t know might have thought that these two people were hyping it up.

The live broadcast room soon had over 10 million viewers. Some came to watch Cui Yongyuan talk nonsense, which they found quite interesting, and some came to see the celebrities.

"I'm particularly envious of this couple. I wonder how many girls want to have a boy like the principal; and how many boys want to have a girl like Liu Tianxian.

So the two of them may have to bear great risks every day when they are together. What risks? The risk of having their lover taken away by someone else. "

Cui Yongyuan's words caused everyone present to laugh out loud. Listening to him speak was as interesting as listening to a stand-up comedy.

But it seems to make sense and there is nothing wrong with it.

Girls like Liu Tianxian have many admirers; and people like the principal face countless temptations every day.

“But it doesn’t matter, as long as our love is stronger than gold.” Cui Yongyuan added.

Liu Tianxian also smiled and expressed his gratitude again.

Fang Hong pulled her and motioned for her to sit down. There was no need to stand. Since she had invited this person, she had to endure his sharp tongue.

Let me put it this way, if Cui Yongyuan wants to make fun of someone, there are few people in China who can make fun of him better than him. He can even beat people like Zhou Libo and Bai Yansong.

I guess only Uncle Zhao can fight with him.

You can ridicule someone to death, and you can praise someone to the sky.

"Love that is stronger than gold is the most scarce thing in the entertainment industry, because people often see divorces and breakups, and once there is such news, it is overwhelming.

The principal is a very focused person, I mean movies."

Cui Yongyuan's last sentence took a sudden turn, and the audience was still not able to react.

When I reacted, the venue was filled with laughter. This turn of events was so clever that I thought he was talking about feelings.

Cui Yongyuan doesn't dare to say that Fang Hong is loyal in love, what if he is slapped in the face in the future?

"The principal's dedication is reflected in the fact that he has brought up a group of young, promising, vigorous and passionate new filmmakers for the Chinese film industry. I salute you."

When Cui Yongyuan said this, there was warm applause from the audience.

This is a recognition of Fang Hong's contribution and achievement to the film industry. No matter what he thinks in his heart, what he did did have a promoting effect on the film industry.

The audience had a hard time keeping up with his rhythm, as he kept turning to pay tribute to the principal.

"Let's get back to the point. What if something goes wrong? We welcome the chairperson of the jury of this year's film festival, Ms. Han."

After Cui Yongyuan finished his announcement, Han Jianv, who was in the guest seats, stood up and bowed to the audience, and applause broke out.

Afterwards, Cui Yongyuan looked at the script and continued to announce: "Another artistic judge is the famous director Wen Muye. Let's welcome him."

"The artistic judges include the famous actor Tony Leung Ka Fai."

"The artistic judges include the famous photographer Li Anran."

"The artistic judges include the famous editor Tu Yiran."

"The artistic judges include the famous actor Zhang Songwen."

Every time a name was called out, someone in the guest seats would stand up from their seat and bow toward the audience or put their hands together to salute them.

At the same time, there was continuous applause in the venue without stopping.

Cui Yongyuan doesn't make fun of everyone, he knows his responsibilities.

“This jury is quite interesting, with two behind-the-scenes heroes. Our culture has a characteristic that we look down on behind-the-scenes heroes the most. Only those who show their faces in front of the stage and stand out are respected.

When the audience watches a movie, they think it is the credit of the actors. Now they know that it is the credit of the director, and other factors such as photography and editing are negligible.

I once did a stupid thing. I asked someone to translate all the behind-the-scenes subtitles of Hollywood movies for me. When I compared them with the behind-the-scenes subtitles in China, I found that we were forty jobs behind Hollywood.

Now we can only place our hopes on the younger generation of filmmakers. When you become famous and have your own mature works, when you are working on subtitles, there will be no shortage of jobs.”

Cui Yongyuan felt that it was about time, and added: "I have a lot of things to say to you all, but fortunately there is still time. Let's start awarding the prizes now. Let's give warm applause to the winners."

"Clap clap clap!"

Warm applause broke out at the scene. As the passionate music played, Cui Yongyuan left the stage, and Zhao Xiaodao and Zhu Yilong came on stage in their best attire to present the first award of the night: the Best Short Film Award.

"Good evening everyone, my name is Zhao Xiaodao."

"Good evening everyone, my name is Zhu Yilong."

After the two introduced themselves, they looked at each other on the stage, and Zhao Xiaodao smiled and said, "Everyone knows Zhu Yilong. I am his fan."

"Zhao Xiaodao, I am her fan." Zhu Yilong replied.

"Don't scare me." Zhao Xiaodao smiled and said again: "In fact, we have worked together before."

The two of them looked a bit awkward, which made the audience laugh.

Now the popularity of the live broadcast room is still rising!
"The winner of the 6th Macau Film Festival's Best Short Film Award is Xu Xieren from Midnight Taxi." Zhao Xiaodao and Zhu Yilong joked and announced the name.

At this moment, part of this short film was playing on the big screen.

As the applause and music sounded, the audience saw a young man wearing glasses in the back excitedly stand up, then leave his seat and quickly run onto the stage from the aisle.

He should be alone without any companions.

After this person came on stage, he took the Golden Lotus Trophy from Zhao Xiaodao and Zhu Yilong. This trophy had been redesigned.

It is a woman with curvy body wrapped in film, with both hands holding a golden lotus, which is quite artistic.

When the winner holds the golden lotus, it is equivalent to holding the body.

“Thank you to the judges, the Macau Film Festival, and the principal. Without your recognition, I would not be standing here.”

Xu Xieren's face was flushed, and he was obviously excited to face tens of millions of viewers.

There was a burst of applause in the conference.

Although they don't know this person, they still have to show him the minimum respect.

The 9-minute-20-second "Midnight Taxi" directed by this man is not a horror or suspense film, but a film that tests human nature.

This movie also has another name: "Crime and Punishment"!
Anyway, it makes people feel heavy and thoughtful after watching it. Douban scores 9.6 points, which is very high.

Short films are often inconspicuous. No matter how well they are made, they don't have a large audience and few people rate them accordingly. This short film was thus buried.

Some viewers have already been searching for this short film. There are very few resources, but it can be seen on Bilibili and Chang'e Video, and it is still very exciting.

This is the benefit of big exposure, which allows more people to know that in this era, even good wine will not be appreciated if it is not well known.

"When Cui Yongyuan teased us on the stage just now, I was nervous, fearing that he would say something bad." Liu Tianxian whispered.

"You know, just now the director asked me in my earphone whether I wanted to interrupt his live broadcast." Fang Hong nodded the earphone in his ear.

"Ah? Is it true?" Liu Tianxian was surprised. Cutting it off is equivalent to interrupting the broadcast. The live audience can't see it, but the scene can see it.

This kind of situation is usually used in emergency situations, or most of the time it is used to cut off the person when they say something bad.

Cui Yongyuan’s live broadcasts are often cut off because he is too bold.

"Really? I didn't reply, which means he can say whatever he wants. If you are afraid of people talking about such a ceremony, then it's better not to do it." Fang Hong spread his hands.

"Makes sense."

Liu Tianxian nodded and suggested, "You'd better not do bad things in the future. If you are caught, these people will dare to say anything."

"Okay." Fang Hong agreed.

The two of them were chatting privately with their heads down in the audience. They were captured by cameras and also seen by the audience in the live broadcast room.

Someone took a screenshot and spread it among fans.

Now their relationship is basically public, with self-media making up stories about them every day, and even rumors of their breakup are circulating on the Internet every day.

When two people don't talk, they say they have broken up; when two people stand a little distance away, they also say they have broken up. Anything can be explained as a breakup.

There's nothing else to it. It's just that it's popular and there are people watching it. But there are also a group of people who hope that the two will break up every day.

"." After Xu Xieren excitedly gave his acceptance speech, he went backstage to be interviewed by reporters.

Next up was the Best Animated Film award, presented by Nazha and Chen Xiao, mostly Yutu artists.

I think this award should go to "Big Hero 6". No other animated film has had such a great influence, either in terms of ratings or box office.

As the two were joking on stage, an audience member in the live broadcast room typed: "I hope it's "Kuiba"!"

"How is that possible? Big Hero 6 is already booked."

"Kuiba Kuiba, I love this cartoon!"

Animation has its own audience and circle, just like celebrity fans have their own circles, and they specialize in watching animated movies or cartoons.

So I really hope that my favorite work can win an award.

“The winner of the 6th Macau Film Festival Best Animation Film is.”

Chen Xiaoting opened the envelope, and Nazha leaned over to take a look and read: "'Kuiba 3: Rise of the God of War', congratulations!"

The title of this film surprised all the guests present. They thought it would be "Big Hero 6", but they didn't expect it to be an inconspicuous movie.

So where does Big Hero 6 fit in?
However, there was still warm applause at the scene, and some of the audience in the live broadcast room were two-dimensional fans of the "Kuiba" trilogy.

In the live broadcast room, people started to post: "Kuiba is the eternal god!"

“The Macau Film Festival selected the most ideal animated film in my mind.”

"Aaaaah! Why not Big Hero 6?"

"By the way, is Big Hero 6 in the running?"

"Big Hero 6" was never nominated, how could it win an award?"

"."

Basically no one questions that it is unreasonable for the animated film "Qiba" to win the award, and everyone thinks it is very reasonable.

It's just because every part of this animated film has a score of more than eight points, and the third one is the best, with a score of 8.6, which is a rare reputation, but it's not a box office hit.

Maybe the style is too cartoony, and the creative team also has limited funds.

But why it’s not “Big Hero 6” is very puzzling. This is the disadvantage of not announcing the nominations.

"Xiao Fang, why isn't it "Big Hero 6"? " Zhang Hongsen was also very confused.

Others who were nearby were also listening to the conversation between the two, wanting to hear what they were saying.

"Director Zhang, I think it's better not to submit our film for any awards. Even if we do, it'll just be for small prizes to avoid gossip." Fang Hong said.

"If that's the case, it will be difficult for you to explain to your people." Zhang Hongsen said he understood.

Even if the Jade Rabbit movie wins an award, people will definitely accuse you of favoritism, no matter whether the movie is great or not.

But when one of our own people doesn’t win any awards or have any honors, I feel a little uncomfortable and it’s hard to balance.

"Let them suffer first." Fang Hong said.

"Hahaha." Everyone around laughed. The principal seemed to have a broad perspective.
