Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 275 The Best Actor!

Li Xuejian accepted the trophy on the stage with the grace of a general and gave his acceptance speech.

"When Xiao Chen found me, I had just recovered from an illness and had doubted for a while whether I could continue working in this industry.

Thank him for giving me such a great opportunity. It was a real pleasure to act in this film.

Just now he congratulated me in the audience and said that it was a blessing to win this award, otherwise it would have been a waste of his performance.

I don’t think it was in vain. Having a good role makes me happier than winning an award.”

There was spontaneous applause from the audience. Such words of gratitude could touch some sincere actors to some extent.

"Finally, I would like to thank the organizers and also thank..."

Then there was another half an hour of waiting.

The Golden Horse Awards featured performances by some singers, and awards for best documentary, short film, sound effects, etc. were presented.

Then the Best Original Film Score was given to "Whiplash", which was worthy of Chen Linfeng's efforts in hiring such a talented person.

Next, the Best New Actor award was given to Tang Wei.

Judging from her expression, she seemed very happy.

However, Tang Wei's treatment in this life, or what he gained in exchange for his sacrifices, is far inferior to that in his previous life.

Without the blessing of the Golden Lion Award, and with a movie like "Lust, Caution" on the way, one can imagine the public opinion.

Now a large number of experts have criticized the film, and Tang Wei’s performance in it has also been criticized.

I can only say that this is the time I support the experts the most.

Also because it did not win the Golden Lion Award, "Lust, Caution" was subjected to even stricter censorship before its release.

The plot of the film released in mainland China was edited to the point of being unwatchable, which had a huge impact on the box office and ultimately failed to break 100 million yuan.

This is also the time when I support Big Scissors the most.

In this case, it is not certain whether Li An will still support Tang Wei to develop in South Korea and save the country in a roundabout way.

But from Liu Qianqian's perspective, she felt a little envious when she saw others winning awards.

Although she decided to pursue a career in commercial films, she had been admiring real actors since a very early stage.

You can tell from the fact that what she wants to do is Gong Li.

Chen Linfeng consoled her, "It's okay. Our Xixi is also the Feitian Best Actress. She doesn't need a newcomer award like this."

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can Feitian become the best actress?"

"It's okay. The three major awards in the mainland will be of higher quality in the future. The awards you won in the ancient times will be even more valuable."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Liu Qianqian just continued to look at the stage with envy.

Because the Best Actress Award is coming.

There is not much doubt about this award, after all, "Tuya's Marriage" won the Golden Bear Award.

If it's not given to the actress, then at least the Best Director or Best Film award should be given later to keep the situation under control.

Chen Linfeng guessed that given Wandao's personality, this award would probably be the limit.

Sure enough, later in the announcement time, Zhou Xun, the previous Golden Horse Award winner, as the award presenter, called out Yu Nan's name.

Although this film had won the Golden Bear Award in its previous life, it was never known to the public. It also failed to successfully participate in the Golden Horse Awards and had to withdraw the film. It was not until the later "Wolf Warrior" that it gradually became recognized by the public.

She is able to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in this life. I hope things will be smoother for her.

Then came the Best Actor Award.

The big screen lit up, introducing the nominated actors one by one.

Guo Fucheng, "C+ Detective";
Chen Linfeng, “Whiplash”;
Zhao Benshan, "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots"
Liang Chaowei's "Lust, Caution".

Zhao Benshan was unable to come to the scene because his father was critically ill and was staying in the hospital.

The other three people had different reactions.

Liang Chaowei looked calm, as if he was sure of victory.

Guo Fucheng frowned, looking serious and cool.

Chen Linfeng was still talking to Liu Qianqian in a low voice, and he didn't seem to care much.

In his heart, he thought that it might be more appropriate to give this award to Zhao Benshan.

"Returning Home" is a road movie that is basically supported by Zhao Benshan's performance. It is well deserved to win the Golden Horse Award.

On the stage, Andy Lau and Sandra Ng were the award presenters for this year's Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

Wu Junru opened the envelope and took a look, then joked, "Hua Zai, there's still time, do you want to guess who will be the best actor of this year?"

Liu Dehua smiled and said, "If you ask me, how can I be so polite? These four are all heavyweights. If I say anything to any of them, I will offend the other three. Do I still want to be in the industry in the future?"

Wu Junru signaled with her eyes, "Then guess the one who is the hardest to offend. How about it, did you guess it?"

Liu Dehua really guessed it, but he still pretended not to know, "It's not easy to offend anyone, so you should just give it to me."

After saying that, he suddenly snatched the letter from Wu Junru's hand.

Wu Junru did not stop him, but just followed Liu Dehua's voice and pretended to applaud and celebrate.

"The winner of this year's Best Actor is~
Chen Linfeng, Whiplash!

The scene was suddenly filled with noise, and many of the audience members around were fans of "You Who Came From the Stars" and they cheered immediately.

In fact, they were already cheering when the nomination was announced just now, and now the voices are even louder, with no intention of stopping at all.

When Chen Linfeng first heard his name, his first reaction was that he would definitely have no chance of winning the Best Director or Best Film awards.

But he saw that Liu Qianqian had already hugged him excitedly, and was cheering, "Xiaofeng, you've become the best actor!"

Only then did I realize that Best Actor was not bad, and I could even get the title of Best Actor.

The audience sitting in high places around could clearly see Professor Chen and An Xi hugging each other through the big screen, and they all felt excited.

The cheers became louder and louder, as if a wave of sound was overwhelming and pressing down on the sky.

Chen Linfeng adjusted his expression, congratulated briefly with the people around him, and walked onto the stage under the gaze of everyone in the audience.

He first hugged Liu Dehua, and when it was Wu Junru's turn, he extended his hand.

Wu Junru was not satisfied, "Why do you always hug Huazai, but when it comes to me, it's just a handshake?"

Chen Linfeng said with a smile, "My Anxi is downstairs, it's not easy for me to hug the beautiful lady."

"Oh~" The audience cheered again. Wu Junru smiled and said, "Director Chen, you have good taste. A beautiful woman like me cannot hug anyone casually. It will easily cause misunderstandings."

Chen Linfeng straightened the microphone in front of him and began to give his acceptance speech.

“I never expected to win the Best Actor award.

From my personal perspective, I prefer Mr. Zhao Benshan's performance in "Returning to the Roots", which has a kind of sincerity that returns to nature. Maybe the organizing committee has its own considerations. "

The people below didn't expect this person to say that and were all surprised. However, when they thought about his experience, there was really no need to say any lies or polite words.

Chen Linfeng's expression changed from solemn to happy.

"Of course, it is always a pleasure to be named Best Actor. From this point of view, I would like to thank the judges for their support and everyone in the crew for their support."

After a very brief speech, Chen Linfeng stepped down cleanly.

The audience in the audience applauded continuously and showed great respect.

Chen Linfeng sat back in his seat and skillfully handed the trophy to Liu Qianqian to play with.

This has become a routine. Every time, Liu Qianqian will help him hold the trophy, as if she can also have a good time.

It was the same this time. She looked left and right and couldn't see enough. The envy on her face was beyond words.

"Well, who are you doing this for? You are still so young, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Liu Qianqian said strangely, "You shouldn't say that. Don't forget that you are a few months younger than me."

"That doesn't stop someone from calling me brother." Chen Linfeng said proudly.

Liu Qianqian gritted her teeth and wished she could hit him twice with the trophy.

……

Next up is the Best Director Award.

The award presenters are Guo Fucheng and Shu Qi. In this session, they are not only responsible for presenting the awards, but also have to act as guest hosts.

Several shortlisted directors in the audience, including Wang Jing, who was the host at the host desk, were used as fodder for ridicule.

Talking about Wang Jing's "favor of support" to Shu Qi.

Shu Qi didn't change her expression at all.

The nominees for Best Director were announced.

Chen Linfeng, “Whiplash”;
Jiang Wen, The Sun Also Rises;
Li An, "Lust, Caution";
Er Dongsheng, "Disciples".

There are also few people in this link. Jiang Wen is said to be stuck because of incomplete procedures and cannot come to Wandao.

However, Chen Linfeng guessed that he definitely didn't want to come because he was afraid of suffering another Waterloo.

After the shortlisted directors were announced, the audience started shouting "Li An", and it turned out that there was still a home advantage.

The "You Who Came From the Stars" fans present were not to be outdone and shouted Chen Linfeng's name.

Guo Fucheng then handed the letter to Shu Qi.

After unpacking the film, Shu Qi read out, "The winner of the 44th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Director is Li An's Lust, Caution."

Cheers erupted.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, Guo Fucheng followed suit and said, "Chen Linfeng's Whiplash."

It turned out to be a double yolk egg!

There was also constant cheering and excitement.

Now Chen Linfeng was really shocked. He thought that giving him the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor would be enough to appease him, but he didn't know there was more to come.

Li An stood up and called Xiao Chen to join him.

The two shook hands and walked onto the stage together.

After receiving the trophy, Chen Linfeng gestured to Li Anxian and said that he always attached great importance to courtesy to seniors.

Li An declined for a moment, but still went ahead and gave his speech first.

Chen Linfeng remembered that in his previous life, Li An mentioned in his speech that he made this movie out of an impulse deep in his heart, and it was a very deep thing that he had to express.

But today, due to the change in format, it has changed a lot and become a very routine thank you.

Maybe it’s because it doesn’t have the blessing of the Golden Lion Award, and it doesn’t dominate the Golden Horse Awards, so it’s a little more sober.

Chen Linfeng guessed secretly.

Next, it was his turn to speak.

Chen Linfeng still expressed his feelings truthfully.

"It was very unexpected, even more unexpected than the previous award. I thought my Golden Horse Awards journey was over.

But it’s always a good thing to win an award, especially since this is my first director award. I’m grateful for the support of my parents, the cultivation of my country, and the God who gave me the opportunity. Thank you.”

One last thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I don’t know who sent him back to the past, but I’ll just thank God.

After winning the Director Award, Chen Linfeng was truly certain that there would be no more awards in the future.

Sure enough, the Best Film, or Best Feature Film award, went to Li An's "Lust, Caution."

It has to be said that Taiwan has made a lot of sacrifices in terms of overall quantity at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

The most important awards, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, and Best Actor, were all won by films from outside the country, and the Best Director award was split half way.

Only the last grand prize is reserved for our own people.

Everyone expressed understanding.

Judging from the total number of awards won, "Lust, Caution" and "Whiplash" are the biggest winners of the night.

"Lust, Caution" won five awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Newcomer, Best Screenplay, and Best Costume.

"Whiplash" won four awards: Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Score.

Considering that the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards are much more important than awards such as script and styling, the Best Film award is higher than the Actor award.

Generally speaking, it is hard to say who is higher and who is lower.

So the next day, in news reports from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, Li An and Chen Linfeng became the two strongest contenders for this year's Golden Horse Awards.
