Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 75 Award Ceremony
As the largest film festival in China, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards is naturally very grand.

If the last time I went to Berlin was a feast for global filmmakers, then the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards is a carnival for domestic filmmakers.

When Zhou Qing and Huang Bo appeared, the scene was already packed with people.

There were filmmakers from various major crews and countless media reporters everywhere.

Click, click, click!
"Director Zhou Qing is here!"

"It's the crew of 127 Hours!"

The spotlights suddenly flashed, and some reporters gathered around.

Unlike when no one was interested in him when he went to Berlin, Zhou Qing is now one of the hottest directors in the country.

There was no way to avoid it, so Zhou Qing and Huang Bo briefly accepted the interview.

“Departures is my second feature-length work, and it’s even more exciting than 127 Hours. Please stay tuned.”

Zhou Qing took this opportunity to advertise "Departures".

This is also one of his main purposes for participating in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

"I also have a wonderful performance in "Departures", so you can look forward to it."

Huang Bo also cooperated in the promotion.

"Director Zhou!"

"Director Zhou!"

After getting rid of the reporters and arriving at the venue, many people came to greet Zhou Qing politely.

Especially those actors, although they are basically older than Zhou Qing, they all keep a very humble attitude.

Who says Zhou Qing is an award-winning director in Berlin?
Not only did it win awards, but the box office both domestically and abroad was also a hit.

Although the overseas box office explosion was a bit dramatic, the results are solid.

This was not the first time Zhou Qing had experienced such a situation, and he was handling it with increasing ease.

"Director Zhang."

"Director Zhou."

Here Zhou Qing also met Master Zhang again.

Their movie "Hero" won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Film.

Even the Golden Rooster Awards have a lot of nominations.

“Congratulations to Hero for winning Best Feature Film.”

“Didn’t ‘127 Hours’ win an award for Best Actor?”

The two sides shook hands and greeted each other in a very friendly manner, attracting the attention of the surrounding filmmakers.

"Director Zhou!"

A heroic woman also came up to Zhou Qing and greeted him.

It turned out to be Yuan Quan, one of the candidates for the female lead in "Departures".

Yuan Quan won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in "Beautiful Big Feet", so it's no surprise that she appeared at the venue.

Interestingly, the character played by Yuan Quan in "Beautiful Big Feet" is called Xia Yu.

At this moment, Xia Yu was also following Yuan Quan.

Xia Yu also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards for his role in "Kara is a Dog".

I have to say this couple is really interesting. They turned the Hundred Flowers Awards' Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress into a husband and wife duo.

However, Zhou Qing had the impression that Xia Yu had won some awards at the Golden Rooster Awards, winning the Best Actor award for his role in "Police Appointment".

The biggest winner of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards is undoubtedly Xia Yu.

"Director Zhou, this is my boyfriend Xia Yu."

After chatting with Zhou Qing for a while, Yuan Quan began to introduce Xia Yu to Zhou Qing.

Xia Yu also immediately greeted politely.

Zhou Qing also smiled and exchanged a few words with the other party.

I secretly sighed in my heart that this person is also a natural actor.

It is really impressive that his debut film won the Best Actor award at one of the three major European cinemas.

After a whole afternoon of noise, the red carpet walk began at six in the evening.

This is definitely the most important part of any film festival, and it is also the main battlefield where actresses compete with each other for beauty.

After all, no matter how well-dressed a man is, he will still look the same.

It's nothing more than a suit, no matter how you wear it, you can't make it look fancy.

They are not like actresses, they wear all kinds of skirts and never wear the same ones. "First of all, congratulations to Director Zhou for winning the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor for "127 Hours". "127 Hours" has also been nominated for many Golden Rooster Awards. Which awards does Director Zhou think it can win?"

"Any award is a recognition of 127 Hours by the organizing committee."

After signing on the signature wall, Zhou Qing also accepted two interviews from reporters as usual.

The award ceremony is coming up next.

Unlike the Berlin Film Festival, the Hundred Flowers Awards announced the list of winners before the awards ceremony.

It lacks so much thrill and excitement.

One by one, the winning filmmakers came up on stage to receive their awards amid applause and flowers. It was nothing but enthusiasm.

"Congratulations to Mr. Huang Bo for winning the Best Actor Award!"

Huang Bo went up to the stage and took the trophy, his face full of excited smiles.

The first trophy in my life is the Best Actor Award, how can I not be excited?
Especially since I haven't even graduated from college yet.

To be honest, this starting point is still very high.

Huang Bo's mood at this moment can really be described as being in high spirits.

"I would like to thank the organizing committee for recognizing me and allowing me to receive this honor. I am honored."

"But the person I want to thank most is our director Zhou Qing. It was he who gave me this opportunity."

"Before filming 127 Hours, I couldn't even play a minor role. No one wanted me after I went to so many crews."

"It was Director Zhou Qing who spotted me and cast me in 127 Hours. That’s why I have the opportunity to stand here today."

"Without Director Zhou Qing, there would be no Huang Bo today."

Huang Bo spoke with sincerity and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Qing from the bottom of his heart.

"If I were a woman, I would definitely give myself to you."

This guy even made a joke at the end.

"Hahaha!"

The whole venue burst into laughter.

The host also put the microphone in front of Zhou Qing.

"Can you get a makeover before you commit yourself to me?"

Zhou Qing looked very serious.

The scene burst into laughter again.

However, the atmosphere at the following Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was not so relaxed.

Because the major awards of the Golden Rooster Awards are announced at the awards ceremony.

Like most other film festivals, it’s all about the heartbeat.

"127 Hours" was nominated for four awards: Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Directorial Debut.

In the end, I don’t know which trophy I won.

"The winner of the directorial debut award is Xu Jinglei, for "My Father and I," "Ulan Tana," and "Warm Spring."

Four nominations, one removed.

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is Zhou Qing, 127 Hours."

Well, at least I won an award, even though it was just the insignificant Best Screenplay award.

"I would like to thank the Golden Rooster Awards jury. This award is a recognition of me. I will continue to work hard and do my best to make every movie."

Zhou Qing went on stage to receive the award and gave a standard acceptance speech.

But this award certainly cannot satisfy Zhou Qing's appetite.

What he hopes to win more are the heavyweight awards such as Best Director and Best Feature Film.

however……

"The winner of the Best Director Award is Zhang Guoshi for Hero!"

There are four nominations, and only the last one is left.

“The winners of the Best Feature Film awards are ‘The Storm Riders’ and ‘Warmth’.”

peat.

Zhou Qing felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Although he knew the nature of the Golden Rooster Awards, he was cautious in his expectations.

But it's really frustrating that he only won one Best Screenplay award out of four nominations.
