Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 549 The Cruel Reality of the Entertainment Industry

(The movie star in the previous chapter has been changed!)

Cui Yongyuan's words made the audience laugh, and everyone could understand his connotation.

This means that Sa Beining’s ex-girlfriend was Zhang Ziyi, so they were family members of a filmmaker. But later they broke up, so they were no longer family members of a filmmaker.

Being implied, Zhang Ziyi, who was sitting in the audience, could only force a smile!
What could she do? Nothing.

For people like Cui Yongyuan, if you can't win in your scolding, you can only admit defeat, because he is clean and has no moral flaws for you to attack.

It simply means that the person has mental problems.

"So after careful evaluation, the organizing committee gave this award to a person outside the film industry. The winner of the Best Host of the Macau Film Festival is Cui Yongyuan." Cui Yongyuan paused in the middle.

"Ouch!"

The audiences cheered and applauded. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious. It was quite interesting. It was the first time that a host did this on stage.

In the past, the hosts they saw were all formal and official hosts.

Cui Yongyuan is unconventional and humorous.

"Thank you, thank you. I really didn't expect to receive this award."

Cui Yongyuan also held a trophy and gave his acceptance speech: "I have participated in many film festivals, but I like this one the most. Why? Because I saw many young faces at this film festival, and there are always unexpected things happening.

For example, when I was walking backstage just now, I picked up a trophy, which is not available at other film festivals.”

The guests in the audience all smiled, knowing that this was not the case, because the "Golden Lotus" trophy was not a major host award and there was no such award.

That trophy should be for Best Film.

“The Macau Film Festival has been held for 6 years, and it will be a hundred years in 94 years. This won’t sound good even after a hundred years.” Cui Yongyuan was quite humorous and the audience laughed continuously.

He added: "I hope we all still love movies a hundred years from now. Really, by that time we may not be able to speak or move, or even turn into wisps of ashes. I suggest that we be buried together."

"Hahaha!"

The whole audience couldn't help laughing, this was really funny.

Cui Yongyuan was talking nonsense on the stage. Liu Tianxian was confused about something and was whispering with Fang Hong.

"I saw Tao Zeru choked up while giving his acceptance speech just now. What happened?" Liu Tianxian asked.

"The director of 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' is dead." Fang Hong said.

"Ah?!" Liu Tianxian was surprised.

"If I remember correctly, he should have died in March this year." Fang Hong thought for a while.

"A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was actually filmed a long time ago and won an award in 13, but was not released until 16 because no company was willing to distribute this art film as they believed it would not make money.

Later, it was Laurel Pictures' president Fang Li who paid for the film's release, but the box office was not very good and theaters refused to schedule it for screening.

The CEO suddenly knelt down in front of the audience!
That kneeling movie grossed over 80 million at the box office. Of course, some people say it was hype, but regardless of whether it is or not, it's worth it.

The president of Laure Pictures is not short of that little bit of money. He has an industrial background and film and television are his hobby. Later, he got together with Han Han.

".No matter where we are buried in the world, we will show open-air movies every day to scare them to death. Thank you everyone. Maybe you think I am a bit long-winded, but I do have a lot to say.

Let’s invite the principal up.”

Cui Yongyuan finally finished talking and invited Fang Hong to the stage.

Fang Hong patted Liu Tianxian's leg and went on stage.

Liu Tianxian was still immersed in shock. When she came to her senses, she saw her man had already gone onto the stage.

The audience was looking at this man with different emotions, some were feeling emotion, some were admiring, and some were jealous.

I feel that he is so successful; I admire his great image; I am jealous of why he is so successful? He has accomplished what others cannot.

"Hello, principal, I am your student." Cui Yongyuan started by teasing.

"My students are all in the film industry. I am your student in the hosting circle." Fang Hong said while standing in front of the microphone.

What it means is that in the film industry you are my student; in the hosting circle you are my teacher.

"We can learn from each other. I will learn from you how to make movies, and you can learn from me how to be a host. People's energy is limited. It is already great to be able to learn one or two things well. If you can learn from the principal, you can make movies when you have no work to do in the future. At least you don't have to worry about going hungry. I am still worried about whether I will go hungry in the future."

Cui Yongyuan touched his belly and laughter broke out at the scene.

Liu Tianxian was a little embarrassed. This was a joke on her because she just said that the film festival was run by her family.

"That won't happen. Who doesn't have two acres of farmland?" Fang Hong meant that if he was hungry, he could go home and farm.

He stands on his wife's side.

"That's true. At worst, I can go home and farm. No one will think I'm meddling in farming!" Cui Yongyuan said with a smile.

The audience found the two people bantering with each other quite interesting, which was better than what happened just now when Liu Tianxian was teased to the point of being unable to get off the stage and had to resort to a big move.

At least the principal has been doing his job well.

Don’t even think about the fact that Fang Hong has had many clashes with people like Jack Ma, and few people can keep up with Jack Ma’s boasting.

"You should go and farm. I don't know if this film festival can still be broadcast. I just heard from the staff of the organizing committee that the live broadcast of our film festival was interrupted three times. The longest one was when you just made fun of the CCTV host." Fang Hong said.

"Don't worry about that. There will be no replay of any live broadcast I participate in." Cui Yongyuan said this confidently, without any guilt. "Hahaha!" The audience laughed.

"You are really thick-skinned." Fang Hong expressed helplessness.

Cui Yongyuan looked at him and teased: "Are you heartbroken? Can't you sell some broadcast rights?"

"I don't feel sad at all, but can't I be allowed to speak?" Fang Hong said casually.

“That’s true.” Cui Yongyuan nodded in agreement.

"."

Fang Hong was about to say something when his earphone suddenly rang. He lowered his head and listened carefully.

The audience fell silent. Cui Yongyuan said nothing. Everyone looked at him, perhaps because something was wrong.

"It's been cut off again." Fang Hong looked up.

"Pa pa pa!" There was encouraging applause from the audience. No one laughed. Everyone's faces were silent and serious.

However, the TV stations in Macau did not cut off the broadcast and have no control over here. The live broadcast on the Internet was also not cut off.

The content management on the Internet is not strict enough now. How strict can it be when a movie like "Soul Ferry" can appear?

“The reason why I like the Macau Film Festival is that it has a unique charm that no other film festival can compare to.

We should make every movie as if it were our first. I think this is our conscience as filmmakers, our conscience for this society, and our conscience for this career. Even if you cut us off and never allow us to make a sound, movies will still have their beautiful colors. "

Cui Yongyuan spoke very nicely and warm applause broke out again at the scene.

"Yes, a good movie can make people do good and think. We can gain different insights from it. No one else can control what you see and think about."

Fang Hong's words were meant to let people think for themselves, and then he changed the subject: "I actually didn't have any other thoughts when I took over this award ceremony, I just didn't want to be restricted by region, ideology, or any other kind of restrictions.

Everything we do is spoken through movies and works. No matter where you come from or what background you have, as long as your movie is allowed to be broadcast, you can win an award here.

Gong Huang, do you know why you didn't win an award in Taiwan?"

Gong Huang shrugged, indicating that she didn't know. In fact, she knew, but she was just cooperating with Fang Hong and let him continue.

There were thousands of spectators at the scene and tens of millions of viewers watching and listening to the live broadcast.

"Because you are not from Taiwan." Fang Hong directly broke through the window paper.

The audience was very surprised. This was a direct attack on the Golden Horse Awards, accusing them of discriminating against each other.

The principal is the principal, mighty and domineering!
"Is Mr. Tao Zeru here?" Fang Hong looked towards the audience, wondering if he had finished the interview with the reporters.

Tao Zeru raised his hand among the crowd in the guest seats.

"Do you know why you didn't win the Best Actor Award at the Golden Rooster Awards for your performance in 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'?" Fang Hong asked directly.

Tao Zeru is honest and simple, with a confused look on his face.

"Because you have no relatives, but they do." Fang Hong directly revealed the inside story of the Golden Rooster Awards.

The guests and audiences below the stage were stunned. The principal really dared to say anything. He was too bold and was not afraid of offending anyone at all.

Some say the Golden Horse Awards discriminate; some say the Golden Rooster Awards don’t matter and it’s difficult to win an award without any background.

What the principal said is definitely the cruel reality of the entertainment industry.

Cui Yongyuan was impressed by what he said. He thought he was invincible, but the man in front of him was even braver than him.

"Clap, clap, clap." Applause broke out spontaneously at the scene.

Many people were clapping loudly to support the principal. They knew what the principal said was true and they could feel it.

Liu Tianxian was also clapping hard to support the man on the stage.

"No need to applaud, I just said a phenomenon that is happening in the entertainment industry now, including many award ceremonies now. If you are not good-looking and not popular, it is difficult to win an award. Under the same acting skills, sometimes the judges will vote for the good-looking, popular and popular one.

Why? Because you can’t bring him value, so he won’t care about your work.

For example, last year's Golden Rooster Award had a Best Supporting Actress award, and Wang Luodan won it. Didn't Chi Peng perform better than her? He performed very well, but he lost to reality, to reasons you don't know, there's nothing you can do about it."

Fang Hong spread his hands to express his helplessness.

"Of course you say that those who are ugly and unpopular have no way out? Yes, it is very difficult!

If you are as ugly as Feng Kuzi and still popular, you can only become a legend. Most people can't become like him."

Fang Hong was pulling out Feng's pants and whipping his corpse, but with the principal's current capital and status, it wouldn't matter if he pulled out anyone in the entertainment industry.

Who can do anything to him? It’s good enough that he doesn’t do anything to others.

“The first thing I said after taking over the Macau Film Festival was: fairness!

Because I am in this circle, I am at a level where I can see what this circle is like more clearly than any of you.

So I want to break some rules and traditions, so that real filmmakers, those who are gradually becoming unsuitable to work in this circle, can have a channel to win awards and let more people see them.

Instead of just focusing on those with traffic, those good-looking, and popular people, they already have the capital to support them, and there is no need for us to lick their stinky feet. "
