I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 31 A Glorious Era
Scarlett, one of the judges, spent a few days with Zeng Li and others and learned a few words of Chinese. She also understood some of what Cheng Sheng said.

Knowing that he was thanking her, Scarlett said in Chinese, "Cheng, you're welcome."

Amidst the thunderous applause, Cheng Sheng did not hear what she said.

"I have to thank them for being able to make my first film. They invested 100 million yuan in me, which allowed me to make this great film."

Cheng Sheng gave the coal bosses a lot of face, and as he spoke, he pointed to the coal bosses standing behind him.

The adorable coal mine owners raised their hands high, and when the camera turned to them, they shouted in unison, "Family, aren't we awesome?"

puff!

The crew members standing nearby couldn't help but laugh.

These coal mine owners are really something else.

They are probably the first people to not forget to send greetings to their relatives back home in this kind of situation.

The camera focused on the coal mine owner for three to five seconds before returning to Cheng Sheng.

"Before making this film, everyone outside doubted whether I could do it well, saying I was unreliable. But the teachers and Principal Xu Xiaozhong at the school strongly supported me, getting all the teachers and students in the school to help complete this great film. You can see that almost every young character in the film is a student from the school, and their acting skills are absolutely commendable."

The judges, probably noticing that Cheng Sheng spoke Chinese, quickly found a translator to translate as he spoke, providing simultaneous translation to the guests present.

Upon hearing this, all the guests in the room showed expressions of shock.

Were they all students in the cast?

How can this be?

All the guests present at the event had seen "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins". Regardless of the plot, the acting skills of all the characters in the film were absolutely superb, and they would even be worthy of winning an award for Best Actor.

Are you now telling us they are students?
What kind of student could be so amazing?

Even the USC performing arts department doesn't have the capability to produce so many outstanding students.

How did the Central Academy of Drama achieve this?
Suddenly, all the guests became interested in the Central Academy of Drama.

If these students were truly trained at the Central Academy of Drama, then this school would probably be the most prestigious film academy in the world.

This has made some young artists eager to try their luck, wondering if they should study at the Central Academy of Drama for a year.

If you have the skills of those students in the movie after graduation, it will be well worth it.

"This is my first film, and there are so many people I want to thank: my parents and relatives, my hometown folks, and everyone in the crew... I love Chinese history, which is why I made a historical film. I originally thought that restoring history wouldn't be popular, but seeing your reactions made me realize that Chinese history can go abroad and be loved by people all over the world."

clap clap clap!
There was a wave of applause.

Raising the golden lion in his hand, Cheng Sheng concluded, "Finally, I would like to thank the Central Academy of Drama, which makes me proud to be a student of the Central Academy of Drama."

Ok!

Cheng Sheng couldn't resist giving the Central Academy of Drama another shout-out, and I wonder what people who heard it will think.

However, after reading Cheng Sheng's acceptance speech at the Venice Film Festival, I think he might become interested in the Central Academy of Drama!
Principal Xu Xiaozhong was so supportive of him, not only helping to find military personnel to perform, but also helping him contact Master Han and get his film approved.

Cheng Sheng is also a grateful person; he helped advertise for the school, which was what he should do.

Hopefully, the school can step up its game this time; after all, he managed to advertise the Central Academy of Drama all the way to Venice.

The whole world is watching!
After speaking, Cheng Sheng casually took the Golden Lion and walked off the stage, followed by the crew.

As they walked, the applause never stopped.

CCTV reporters filmed everything on site, intending to release the news as soon as the film festival ended.

After the awards ceremony, the film festival was considered over, but people couldn't leave immediately because there was a press conference waiting for the winners.

Cheng Sheng, Zheng Guolin, Fu Dalong, and Su Chang were interviewed together. The reporters invited by the film festival were reliable and didn't ask any inappropriate questions.

After answering reporters' questions, Cheng Sheng and his entourage returned to the hotel.

"Brother Cheng, we are indebted to you this time."

Just as Cheng Sheng was about to return to his room, the coal mine owner called him back.

Standing on the awards stage just now was arguably the most glorious moment of their lives.

Even though they had made a lot of money before, none of it had ever made them as excited and thrilled as they are today.

This would bring honor to our ancestors!

He still showed off to the foreigners.

They wouldn't have dared to even think about it before.

Cheng Sheng exchanged a few pleasantries with the coal mine owner, then excused himself by saying he was too tired, and was finally let go by the hospitable coal mine owner, returning to his room.

Cheng Sheng's phone was switched off because he was attending an awards ceremony.

When he turned his phone back on, it started ringing urgently.

Since there is no live broadcast in China, people mainly rely on listening to the radio to learn about the Venice Film Festival.

Unless you specifically follow film festivals, you would never pay attention to them.

Most people in the industry are also unaware of this.

However, after the awards ceremony, CCTV reporters had already sent the news back to China, and the news was quickly published online.

The entertainment industry will probably be sleepless tonight.

After getting the news about the Venice Film Festival, entertainment reporters immediately started working overtime and staying up all night.

I immediately released my press release and then forwarded the list of winners sent back by CCTV.

When the news spread that Su Chang, Zheng Guolin, Fu Dalong, and Cheng Sheng had won awards, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.

In particular, Cheng Sheng won the Golden Lion, and a video clip of Cheng Sheng's acceptance speech at the Golden Lion appeared online, immediately becoming the headline of major websites.

Principal Xu Xiaozhong has been listening to the Venice Film Festival.

He was happy that Su Chang, Zheng Guolin, and Fu Dalong won awards, but he didn't care much, since it had nothing to do with the Central Academy of Drama, and none of the three of them were affiliated with it.

But it was different when Cheng Sheng won Best Picture.

Cheng Sheng is a student trained by the Central Academy of Drama, and he is still a student at the Central Academy of Drama.

This dual identity is an honor for the Central Academy of Drama.

Cheng Sheng's acceptance speech, in particular, was like advertising the Central Academy of Drama all over the world.

The Central Academy of Drama is awesome.

Make a name for yourself on the world stage!
Cheng Sheng's gratitude made Xu Xiaozhong very gratified.

If schools educate students, but the students don't know how to be grateful, what's the difference between them and ingrates?

It was worth all the effort he put into helping him.

While Xu Xiaozhong was overjoyed, he disregarded whether the teachers and students were resting late at night and immediately called someone to go to an advertising company near the Central Academy of Drama to order a banner and speed up its production.
