The king of all people

Chapter 521
"Jang Jin, I have stayed in the palace for so many years, and I have never seen such a luxurious stage."

Chi Zhenxi glanced at the magnificent awards hall, and deliberately said to Li Yingai in a tone full of surprise.

In "Dae Jang Geum", the role played by Min Jung Ho is an inner guard and an adjutant of the inner hospital. It can be said that he has lived in the ancient Joseon court all his life.North Korea at that time was not considered rich, but as the residence of the king of the dynasty, the entire palace could be considered magnificent.

Chi Jinxi said this to reflect the importance of the Busan International Film Festival this time.

"Master Min, Jang Geum can understand your mood at this moment. It is a great honor for us actors to be able to stand on the stage of the Busan Film Festival. It is a pity that we are only here to present awards this time, but we cannot To win an award..."

Li Yingai was obviously not suitable for this kind of occasion, and he could still see his faintly flushed face through the big screen.

However, her words happened to bring back some memories of Chi Zhenxi.

"Haha! Jang Geum, do you know? When I first stepped into the entertainment industry to shoot my first TV series, I was taught a lesson by that director. He said he couldn't see the existence of acting skills from me, saying I don't fit in this circle at all! After listening to his words, I would be extremely depressed, thinking that I might not be able to become an outstanding actor in my life."

Born in 1971, Ji Jin Hee didn't make his debut as an 'Old Age' until 1999 when he was 28 years old.He studied in the Department of Visual Design at university, and basically has nothing to do with the acting industry.Out of his dream of acting, he finally persuaded his family to give up his stable job and make his official debut.

Not from a major, and without professional guidance, Chi Zhenxi's acting career can almost be described as twists and turns in the first few years of his debut.

After finally winning the role of Han Tae-seok in the TV series "Four Sisters of Doctors", after joining the crew, he was repeatedly "tortured" by the director, saying that he can't act and that he has lowered the grade of this drama...

Fortunately, Chi Zhenxi survived after all.It is precisely because of the drama "Four Sisters of a Doctor's Family" that his name has become known to more and more people, and his popularity and popularity have risen at the same time.

Two years later, he is already the leading actor in the national-level masterpiece "Dae Jang Geum", and has been dubbed a male god in ancient costume by countless media and audiences.Although he did not have a work shortlisted for the Busan Film Festival this time, he has enough confidence in himself. In the future, he will gradually shift his career focus to films, and there will always be a day when he will win various awards.

On the other hand, the director who always despised him at that time is still hovering on the edge of the third-tier director.Spend time in a daze.

"Here, I still want to thank those who have not been optimistic about me. It is you who let me keep urging myself to maintain the best state. This time I was not shortlisted, and I will make a comeback next time~ Sorry!"

Thinking of this, Chi Zhenxi took a deep breath, then waved his arm, and made a grimace at the audience, making everyone burst into laughter.

"Sorry, sorry, I got excited when I said it, and I talked a little too much. Come on, Jang Geum, open the envelope and take a look, it's time for us to reveal the answer to the big guy."

Li Yingai covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Okay, please watch the big screen with us. The works shortlisted for the 8th Pusan ​​International Film Festival's cutting-edge films of the year are—"

Following Li Yingai's voice, the wonderful clips of the five shortlisted works began to be played on the huge screen in the middle of the back of the stage.

After all, it is the first award at the opening of the film festival, and the gold content of this year's cutting-edge films can only be said to be average.After some heart-pounding speculation, the grand prize finally fell to a French film "The Girl Who Lifted the Veil", which was beyond the expectations of many people.

The Busan International Film Festival is the same as many awards ceremonies, the more important the award is, the later the time period is, such as the best actor and actress, best director, and the best film of the year. These awards are basically at the end of the time. Only then will the mystery be revealed.

You know, the titles of actor, actress, and director are just titles at first glance, but once they win such honors in some high-profile and fatal awards, the winners behind them are, at least in terms of worth. It will multiply more than several times overnight!
Don't you see, before Liao Fan won the Best Actor in Berlin with the movie "Fireworks in the Day", although he was a little famous, he was at best a second- and third-tier actor.With this film king by his side, I guess I can't even choose from the endless film appointments that automatically come to me every moment...

Time slipped through the fingers every minute and every second, and an hour passed quickly.Best original music for a movie, best soundtrack for a movie, best editing, and best visual effects, these little gold-worthy awards are gradually released.Originally, the attention of these awards was relatively low, and almost all the shortlisted and award-winning works were niche works that the audience had never even heard of.

And it seems that the winners themselves don't pay much attention to it. Several winners did not arrive at the scene in person, but found some agents or staff to help lead the awards.In this way, after the hot atmosphere at the beginning, the whole scene fell into a period of relatively low ebb...

During this period, Chinese director Jiang Wen, who rushed to the ceremony from China with Li Xian, also revealed the mystery of the awards that were shortlisted.

This time, it was not his directorship that led him to compete for the 'Hibiscus Trophy', but the urban love movie "Green Tea" he starred in as an actor, which was shortlisted for the Best Drama Award in Asia.

It's a pity that he lost to the Thai film "Runaway in the Rainy Night" in a very fierce competition. Although Jiang Wen's expression remained the same, Li Xian, who was sitting next to him, still felt his indescribable sense of loss.

"Brother Jiang, it's okay. There will be more opportunities in the future. If it doesn't work this time, it will be next time. The Thai film should be due to cultural factors. The local story of Jieyou reflects the image of the new generation of women in Thailand, and has taken the advantage of the subject matter."

Li Xian comforted the other party by saying that he had seen the movie "Runaway in the Rainy Night", and frankly speaking, if you really want to look at the ups and downs of the plot, "Green Tea" is not much inferior.But now that the outcome of the judgment has been decided, I can only turn the feeling of loss into motivation, and work harder in the coming year...

Jiang Wen thanked Li Xian and said that the two were planning to continue chatting to pass the time, but the host came onto the stage at this time.

"After more than an hour of fierce competition, the awards of this year's Busan International Film Festival have been announced. The awards to be announced in the second half are more suspenseful, and each award is more grand than the other. In addition, the organizers have not yet prepared for everyone. A couple of fantastic specials, are you ready to scream?"
