Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 331 Fifth in film history, third in China!
The camera fell on the crew of "Joker" and frequently focused on Zhen Jiecheng.

The media tried to capture the emotional fluctuations of this talented director, but unfortunately Zhen Jiecheng's smiling face from beginning to end did not bring them any surprises in terms of news material.

"Jiecheng is no longer the rookie he was back then!" said Zhang Yimou, who was watching the live broadcast. "Not to mention that the Golden Lion for Best Picture is still up in the air, even if it doesn't go to Joker, Jiecheng won't show his disappointment on his face."

"Yeah!" Zhang Mo nodded, "If it's the Golden Bear or the Oscar, Uncle Zhen might still be worried."

"The Golden Bear will win, but the Oscar will not!" Lao Mouzi shook his head and interrupted his daughter. "The Oscar is very complicated, and Jiecheng knows the twists and turns. Emmm, okay! Actually, the Golden Bear is the same! Although the nature is different, the results are similar for Jiecheng."

"Dad, what do you think Uncle Zhen is thinking about right now?"

"What else could it be? Either the Golden Lion or the Golden Rooster!" At this point, Lao Mouzi laughed, "The Golden Rooster gang is already getting angry, and they directly used their connections to put Jiang Wen in 'confinement'."

"The most outrageous thing is that they also sent invitations to Jie Cheng's rumored girlfriends, clearly wanting Jie Cheng to back out."

"The meaning is very simple: Don't come, I will still give you the prize."

"Oh my god, there is such a plan?" Zhang Mo's eyes widened. "Dad, does that mean I can't watch the fun this year?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely be worth watching!" Lao Mouzi said confidently, "What kind of personality does Jie Cheng have? The trick played by Jin Ji will only offend Jie Cheng more! Wait, this year's excitement will definitely be released as scheduled, and it will definitely not be absent."

Eating melons seems to be engraved in the genes of Chinese people. Even Zhang Yimou, who has been depressed in recent years, has shifted his attention and smiled for a rare time.

Unfortunately, his good mood didn't last long, as his daughter once again drew his attention back to the trivialities of life.

"Dad, about you and Zhang Weiping." Zhang Mo said hesitantly, "Why don't you talk to Uncle Zhen about it? The person involved is confused, but the bystander is clear. And I think Uncle Zhen's style of handling things is relatively straightforward."

"It's simple and crude, right?" Lao Mouzi said with a smile, "Are you still trying to say that regardless of whether Jiecheng's method is suitable or not, it is better than my current indecisiveness?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Zhang Mo nodded.

"My dear, do you have so little confidence in your father?" Lao Mouzi rolled his eyes. The next second, he restrained his expression and looked serious.

The sudden change in temperament caught Zhang Mo off guard. She stared blankly and suddenly felt that her father seemed a little strange.

"Just because I don't talk much doesn't mean I have nothing to say."

"I compromised because I didn't want trouble, not because I was afraid of trouble."

Zhang Yimou's eyelids were drooping, and there was no gleam in his eyes, only a calm demeanor.

“Hopefully it won’t come to that.”

"Otherwise, Zhang Weiping will know why I was able to suppress Jiang Wen in the crew back then."

"And if it really comes to that, it's best to part ways and reunite amicably."

"If he dares to break up with me, then he can prepare to change his career."

The voice is soft and gentle, and the story is told in a simple and straightforward manner. But Zhang Mo seems to be in the crew of Interstellar at that time, and sees Uncle Zhen's finality and his powerful words. No matter who he is facing, the high-ranking Hollywood producer is no different from ordinary crew members.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple. No matter if it's a dispute or a fight, I will continue." Lao Mouzi looked at Zhen Jiecheng on TV and grinned, "Your father is a director of Beijing Film Academy! Do you know the weight of these four words 'Beijing Film Academy Director' in the Chinese film and television industry and what they represent?"

Leonardo DiCaprio's win as the Golden Lion Award for Best Actor cast a shadow over the Best Picture award for Joker, but thanks to Zhen Jiecheng's calmness, the entire team seemed to have found its backbone.

So they continued to clap and smile.

This group of people became the most "incompatible" group at the award ceremony, especially in contrast to the other crews who were worried about gains and losses.

"As expected of Jie Cheng!" Cai Shangjun looked at him from afar and sighed.

"Senior Brother Tian is so arrogant in school that the art exams in recent years are quite different from those in previous years. Many senior professors personally serve as examiners." Jia Zhangke smiled at his wife Zhao Tao, "Of course, the art exams I'm referring to do not include the acting department."

“Everyone is looking forward to discovering another Jie Cheng and taking him as a student.”

"Find another Jie Cheng? How is that possible?" Zhao Tao raised his eyebrows. "Look all over the world, you can't find a world-class director under 30 years old, who is also good at both art and business!"

"Yes! But even if it's one level lower, or even two levels lower, it can still be said that there are successors, right?" Jia Zhangke smacked his lips, "Ah~ the teachers at Beijing Film Academy are going to be dazzled by Brother Tian's office again!"

"Blinking eyes?" Zhao Tao asked in surprise, "What does that mean?"

"You'll know soon, emmm, when we go back to China and visit the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, you'll know!"

The awards continue.

Leonardo's "hehehe" made Alba, the award presenter and female judge, a little overwhelmed.

But for Warner, this award-winning shot is nothing less than the best hype material. With Leonardo's huge fame and fan base, the fermentation effect will far exceed that of Heath Ledger.

After the Best Actor award, the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award was presented.

"A Simple Life" from Hong Kong won many awards, and Yip Tak-han was crowned Best Actress as soon as she made her comeback after 11 years of absence.

Such an experience would be included in the "celebrity anecdotes" of the entertainment industry without any embellishment, but Zhen Jiecheng ignored it. Not only did he not applaud, he was even too lazy to cast a glance.

Just like Wu Yusen, Yip Tak-han is not a good person either.

The former at least pretends to be nice, but the latter doesn't act at all and uses real names directly.

To use the words of Brother Qianer’s master: Old BK, you are not someone who can be beaten by humans!

"The winner of the Jury Prize is... "Inland"

"Wow~" applause broke out.

"Inland" is a local film and the locals immediately cheered it on.

But unexpectedly, the award presenter did not leave the microphone, but waited for the cheers to end before speaking again.

“And ‘The Mountain of People’!”

"Congratulations to Emmanuel Crearese! Congratulations to Shangjun Cai."

"Wow~" the applause broke out again.

Zhen Jiecheng was clapping very enthusiastically. When he saw Cai Shangjun standing up and looking at him, he put his hand to his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.

An alumnus of the Central Academy of Drama won an award. Even if he is not an actor, the director of the Beijing Film Academy must come to warm up the atmosphere!

In its previous life, "People Mountain People Sea" won the Silver Lion for Best Director, but in this life it shared the Jury Double Yolk Award with "Inland".

Such a difference can only mean one thing!

Zhen Jiecheng looked towards the crew of "Faust", and coincidentally, Sokolov also looked back.

However, compared with Zhen Jiecheng's calmness, Sokolov, who has not yet been recognized by the three highest awards in Europa, has obviously lost his confidence and is quite nervous.

“Just look at the next one!”

"As long as it's not us that are in your mind."

At this moment, Cao Jiuping could no longer contain his excitement and kept muttering to himself.

"Give it to "Faust"! The Best Director award must go to "Faust"!" Zhang Mo shouted into the mobile phone and the landline. Zhang Yimou, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing when he heard the voices of Jing Tian and Han Jianu coming from the two phones.

After thinking about it, I leaned my head closer.

"Jia Nu, is your father here?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang."

"Okay, you three go ahead and continue. I'll go talk to your dad."

"Dududu~ Hey, Lao Han, are you also being dragged by your daughter to stay up late together?"

"Mom, I want to sleep." "No!" Cheng Hao glared, "You are Dad's son, how can you not bear witness to Dad's glory?"

"My younger brother is also my father's son, why can my younger brother sleep?"

"How old is your brother? You are comparing yourself to him?" Cheng Hao pointed at the small bed beside him and said, "Your brother always opens his crotch when he goes out. How about you open your crotch too in the future? Show it to your little sisters?"

"Mom, what you said is wrong! Why don't you let Dad open his crotch too and show it to the older sisters?"

Hearing this, Cheng Hao was stunned at first, and then she was instantly ignited, burning away the last bit of maternal love.

Children’s words can kill people and damage their hearts.

Zhen Hao's unintentional words happened to reveal his father's true actions.

"Crack~"

Cheng Hao stopped as soon as the slap landed.

I’ll beat him later, let’s watch the live broadcast first!

On the TV screen, the award presenters have already started walking onto the stage.

"The winner of the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the 68th Venice Film Festival is Alexander Sokolov! Congratulations to the crew of "Faust" and Director Sokolov!"

"Wow~" Zhen Jiecheng immediately gave the warmest applause, even louder than the one he gave to Cai Shangjun just now.

We are family members of the Central Academy of Drama, so being overly enthusiastic is just being polite. We are a family and don’t care about those things.

But Sokolov is different. International friends must be polite!

Zhen Jiecheng was clapping while looking in the direction of Jia Zhangke. When he saw his senior brother turn around and wink at him, he immediately understood.

It’s a sure win! Two Golden Lions!
Following Zhang Yimou and Li An, he is China's third director to win two Golden Lion Awards!
Looking around the world, adding André Cayet and Louis Malle, he is the fifth director to have won two Venice Best Film Awards!

Zhen Jiecheng simply adjusted his tie, and after Sokolov finished his acceptance speech and stepped down from the stage, he strode toward the stage as jury chairman Allen shouted, "The winner of the Best Film at the 68th Venice Film Festival is Joker! Congratulations, Zhen!"

"Dad! Uncle Zhen won the Golden Lion! Double Golden Lion!" Zhang Mo was very happy.

As for the old man.
"Well, girl, your dad has taken it too."

"Dad! Uncle Zhen's Joker won both the Golden Lion Award for Best Film and the Volpi Cup for Best Actor!"

"Ahem, my girl, me too." Lao Mouzi said with a bitter face, "At the 49th Annual Awards, Qiu Ju Goes to Court, your Aunt Gong and I both went on stage to receive the award."

"Dad, stepmother hasn't slept yet. How about you talk more about Aunt Gong? Let stepmother know more about your past?"

Lao Mouzi: ()
"Mom, if one day I don't love you anymore, will you still love me?" Zhen Hao blinked.

But unexpectedly, my mother didn't play by the rules.

"Love! You are my treasure, how could I not love you?"

This one sentence directly blocked the second half of Zhen Hao's sentence "Even if my mother doesn't love me, I will always love her" in his throat.

"Okay, Dad has won the biggest prize, you can turn off the TV now!" Cheng Hao smiled and patted her son's head, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely love you well!!!"

In some offices of major media newspapers, lights are on.

The oral news and printed manuscripts are being sorted out overtime.

"Another award! Now Zhen Jiecheng can be even more unscrupulous at the Golden Rooster Awards!"

"Look at what you said, it's as if Zhen Jiecheng can't cause trouble in the Golden Rooster if he doesn't get the Golden Lion this time."

"I understand the logic, but winning it doesn't mean anything will be better! In fact, it doesn't matter if it doesn't win. The confidence of "No Return" is too strong! Especially in China, its weight is far different from that of "Joker", even though both are Golden Lions."

Since Deng Chao and Qin Lan were officially crowned the Best Actor and Best Actress at Huabiao, their relatively transcendent status in the circle among the younger generation has been directly confirmed.

The former has already started to organize materials to prepare for the selection of national first-class actors. Both have been invited by many organizations such as the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office to attend events, and have successfully been included in the official shortlist for large-scale external performances.

This is true for actors, not to mention directors.

"All we need is the Berlin Film Festival! If Zhen Jiecheng can collect the Golden Bear, it will be the best of the best!"

"Difficult! There are only three in film history. Georges Clouzot completed the list in 53, Antonioni completed the list in 66, and the most recent one was Robert Altman in the s. It's been years, and none of the three have given another one."

Snapping fingers,

"The three who are missing one include Zhen Jiecheng, Lao Mouzi, Li An, and Roman. There are too many. Many of them have already won the Oscar for Best Director and are just one step away from a four-time Grand Slam."

"But Zhen Jiecheng should be the most promising one. He is so damn young! He has a high chance of making it if he perseveres!"

Speaking of this, the paparazzi who have always regarded Zhen Jiecheng as their bread and butter couldn't help but become red-eyed.

"Damn, I'm so jealous!"

"Shit! I also want to feel Zhen Jiecheng's happiness!"

"I don't envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I envy professors every day."

The classic that was once passed down by word of mouth in Beijing Film Academy has become popular again. To show respect, the name has been changed to a professional title, and it is sung throughout the campus through the mouth of a parrot in the message room.

A banner was hung at the gate of Beijing Film Academy again.

“Warmly congratulate Professor Zhen Jiecheng of our school’s directing department for winning the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the 68th Venice Film Festival!”

There is more than one banner, and the director’s department has hung even more.

What about the Double Golden Lion and the Palme d'Or? He wished he could show off all the honors that Zhen Jiecheng had.

So the familiar process began. The senior students informed the freshmen of the 11th grade about the glorious history of the Beijing Film Academy director written on the banner at the school gate, and at the same time belittled the Central Academy of Drama next door.

But the most popular among the old actors is not the "Mou Girl" Zhou Dongyu, but Yang Caiyu, who is commonly known as "Liu Erfei".

And Guli Nazha, who became an internet celebrity for a photo of her without makeup and in August got the chance to co-star with Hu Ge and Liu Shishi in the costume fantasy idol drama "The Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Scar of Sky".

The eyes of the masses are sharp. The needle may not be big, but it must be there.

The abstinence system and the abstinence system are not the same thing, but the sterilization system, which are two completely different concepts.

"Look, it's Senior Jingtian!" a voice rang out.

"Call him by his name? Do you have any manners at all? Call him Director Jing!" another voice quickly retorted.

"Senior Yang Mi is here too!"

"Wow! Liu Yifei! I'm a fairy fan! I'm a celestial fairy, level 11!"

The heated discussion soon died down in volume.

The appearance of teachers, directors, and even the dean one after another made everyone keep quiet unconsciously.

Until a car drove into view, the door opened, and a figure was seen carrying a golden lion in his hand, moving as casually as if he was carrying a shopping bag out of a supermarket.

"Teacher, I don't have room to store it at home. Can you keep it for me for two days?"

"Yeah!" Director Tian nodded and replied in a muffled voice, "I just ordered a new display cabinet for my office. It has a large space and can fit it in."

Is the space quite large?

Zhen Jiecheng suddenly realized.
"Teacher, I'll bring the previous golden lion back later. Please help me keep it together."

"Well! Leave it to me, don't worry!" Lao Deng'er smiled and was very amiable.
