Chapter 71 The First Prize
"The winners of the Best Newcomer Award are: Yangzi's "Blue and White" and Feng Jiaqi's "The Story of Dunzi"!"

"The winners of the best child actor award are: Wang Zhengjia's "Movie Past" and Wu Xu's "On the Way to School"!"

"The winner of the Art Exploration Award is: "My Heart Is Flying""

"The winner of the best viewing effect award is: "A World Without Thieves""

With the awarding of awards one by one, the awards ceremony has been halfway through.

Yang Mi was not shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award. After all, she has starred in a TV movie before, so she cannot be regarded as a newcomer.

Tang An could feel that Yang Mi was still very excited, especially when the award presenters on the stage pronounced each name.

"It's not yet the most popular actress, why are you so excited?" Tang Anqi asked.

"I don't know, I just feel like I'll be nervous after reading so many words without hearing my name!" Yang Mi clenched her fists and blushed a little.

At this time, Gu Changwei, the director of "Peacock" next to him, spoke. Seeing Yang Mi's nervous look, he felt a little funny, but also a little emotional.

"It's like this for the first time, so relax, you won't be able to escape if it's yours!"

"Uncle, are you also shortlisted for the first time?" Yang Mi asked casually seeing that he was a little unfamiliar.

Seeing that Yang Mi didn't know Gu Changwei, Tang An quickly corrected him, "Mi Mi, this is Director Gu Changwei!"

After finishing speaking, he apologized to Gu Changwei, "Director Gu, I'm sorry, Yang Mi is too young to recognize you!"

"It's okay, I'm just a behind-the-scenes worker, and this is my first time as a director, so it's my first time to be shortlisted!" Gu Changwei waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

"Director Gu, I'm sorry!" Yang Mi said embarrassedly, and then asked curiously, "Then Director Gu, are you not nervous?"

"Director Gu won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, how could he be nervous!" Tang An complimented with a smile.

Although Gu Changwei's achievements in directing are not outstanding, he is friendly with most of the fifth-generation directors, and he comes from Xiying Studio, a direct descendant!
In the 90s, the Xiying Film Factory was the signature of Huaguo Films. The first place foreign filmmakers went to was not China Film, but the Xiying Film Factory.

In the eyes of today’s people, having a Beijing household registration is the best, but in the 80s, how many directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff gave up their capital household registration and tried their best to transfer their relationship to Xiying. It can be seen that Xiying was at that time appeal.

At that time, there was no concept of a brokerage company, and graduates of Chinese opera and Beijing Film Studios were assigned to Xiying Film Studio as a relatively hard backstage.

It can be said that in the 90s and [-]s, West Film Studio represented the highest achievement of domestic films, just like Hollywood is to the United States.

Film directors, TV drama directors, actors, screenwriters, photographers, the top talents in China at that time were basically from the West Film Studio.

In that era, no matter which crew or filming location you went to, you could meet people from Xiying Studio.

However, with the resignation of Wu Tianming, the director of Xiying Film Studio, and the introduction of imported blockbusters, the only state-owned film studio in the country that did not operate in debt finally declined, marking that mainland films have finally fully entered the era of capitalism.

Although the West Film Studio has weakened, its influence still covers the entire mainland entertainment circle.

Needless to say, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, Huang Jianxin worked at the top of China Film Group, and later directed "The Founding of a Nation" and "The Founding of a Party". After Han Sanping stepped down, he directed "The Founding of an Army".

Gu Changwei took over as the art director of Huayi in 13. In the same year, Chen He signed the contract with Huayi, and the leading actor of "Little Love" was also given to him.

If it wasn't because of his good relationship with Brother Chen Kai, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

As for most of the directors, photographers, and screenwriters in this venue, quite a few of them are inextricably linked with Xiying Film Studio.

Tang An wanted to build a professional team, and all the behind-the-scenes personnel had to be top-notch professionals, and contact with people from Xiying was inevitable.

However, Li Xiaowan's Long Xinda lacks film resources, and besides funds, there may be reasons for his connections.

Li Shaohong is also a fifth-generation director, but he was born in Beijing Film Studio, with three or two kittens.Li Xiaowan was an assistant to Chen Kaige's father, and the relationship was not very deep.

Maybe it was because Gu Changwei had just returned from Berlin with a good reputation in February, and Gu Changwei was in a good mood, so he chatted with Tang An.

The award presentation on the stage was still going on, and the next award was the best debut work award, which Tang An was most sure of winning.

High box office, won an award abroad, if this award is not given to Tang An, the judging committee will probably feel embarrassed.

"There are nominees for the best debut award!"

"On the way to school"

"waiting alone"

"A Big Pair of Sheep"

"Shark Beach"

When the host on stage read "Shark Beach", Tang An immediately sat up straight, pretending to be very excited and looking forward to it.

There is no way, we have to show some face, otherwise the organizer will see that we will nominate you, but you are so calm, don't you think it's dismissive!

But other great directors are more casual. When it was the turn of "A World Without Thieves", Feng Xiaogang was still chatting with people with his legs crossed.

Immediately, Tang An felt that several cameras were pointed in his direction, and most of the people around him were also looking in this direction.

Obviously, everyone thinks that "Shark Beach" is the most likely to win this award.

And beside him, Wu Sixian, the director of "Waiting Alone", was much more nervous than Tang An's pretentious gesture.

He glanced at Tang An, and he didn't know what to do. He could only hope that the organizing committee would not take a fancy to such popcorn directors.

After whetting his appetite, the host moved closer to the microphone and read out the award-winning film aloud.

""Shark Beach"!"

"Congratulations!"

Then, the music sounded, and the movie "Shark Beach" began to play on the big central screen.

"Clap clap clap!"

Everyone also clapped their hands with dignity, and looked at Tang An with a smile.

Tang An straightened his dress, stood up and gestured to the surroundings, and walked slowly onto the stage facing the constant "clicking" flashing lights.

"Congratulations to Director Tang An for winning the Best Virgo Award at this year's Beijing College Student Film Festival!"

After handing the trophy to Tang An, the host waited for the applause to last for two seconds before speaking.

"Director Tang, your debut work has a special meaning for every director, so can you tell everyone, as well as the audience friends in front of the TV, your original intention of creating at that time and how you feel now?"

Tang An was silent for three seconds before taking the microphone.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, this is the truth given to us by the ancients!"

His tone is a little low!
"Actually, the idea of ​​directing a movie by myself has been around for a long time, but because of various concerns and distrust of my own ability, it was not until last year that I worked as an assistant director on the crew of "A Letter from a Strange Woman" and filmed some The less important shots really took root in me later!"

"At that time, I thought, no matter how many difficulties there are, just overcome them. Nothing in this world is smooth sailing!"

"I took all my savings, prepared the equipment, found a good actor, and started shooting straight away!"

"If I don't have money to hire someone, I will be a photographer, a lighting engineer, a set designer, and an artist!

"I haven't considered what to do if the funds are not enough in the middle, how to solve the problem of distribution, and where to do the follow-up special effects!"

Tang An raised his head, straightened his body, looked forward confidently, and said in an impassioned tone, "Go all the way, cross over any hurdles, make a detour if you can't cross them, climb up if there is a mountain in the way, and swim across a river !"

"At worst, go to a desperate situation, meet a cliff, turn around again, and start over!"

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap
Although the filmmakers at the scene were all old people who had been in the industry for many years, Tang An's words still made them feel blessed.

It seems to think of the time when I was young.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so they rush forward!
