I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 433, Huabiao Award

This feeling of trust.

That kind of unconditional love, simply because it's Li Yun

Therefore, unconditional trust

Li Yuxuan wanted to refute this, saying that their trust was far too blind.

Then there's Li Yuxuan.

Then they stopped talking.

Because he seemed to have understood something.

What kind of feeling stems from this blind trust?

That's a feeling called love.

Only love can breed the most blind trust. Li Yuxuan thought of his wife. He would occasionally go out for a drink, but he was lying to her that he was entertaining customers.

Then his wife would trust him unconditionally and say, "Be careful on the road."

Because of love, there is trust; and this trust is blind.

Even if she betrays that trust, she will still choose to believe again next time.

That's how the Empress Dowager was.

Liu Qianqian is the same.

One by one, the people who were supposed to come arrived.

Those who were supposed to be watching TV have all done so.

This is an award with very special significance.

It represents absolute approval of the mainstream ideology and signifies that this subject matter has won the crown.

Many people are watching and observing.

"How long has it been since we watched TV?"

"Actually, I often watch the news, but like today, I don't watch entertainment programs very often," Ye Shaokang said with a slight smile.

Liu Lili remained silent for a moment.

The program featured the Huabiao Awards ceremony.

An award that most people are there to make up the numbers for those four top directors.

Especially Zhang Guoshi, who came with two films at this time.

After having already won seven Huabiao Awards trophies.

This time, they should get their eighth medal; there's no doubt about that.

No one would doubt it.

No one would doubt the achievements Zhang Guoshi could make here at this time.

Regardless of the quality of the work.

Or perhaps it's their reputation.

And the profound meaning contained in the work.

There is no doubt that Zhang Mouzi will be on the list at this time.

This shouldn't be too surprising.

Basically, the director awards in these categories are dominated by fifth or sixth generation directors.

Moreover, Zhang Yimou is the leader of the 5th generation of directors.

He can be considered the most powerful director of the 5th generation.

If he were here...

How could they not try to secure a spot?

"You said his film *The Flowers of War*, is it a Sino-British co-production or a domestic Chinese film?"

Ye Shaokang then asked Liu Lili a question.

The 13 women in "The Flowers of War" were all native Chinese.

But the male lead is Batman!

A British actor who works in Hollywood.

"From the perspective of ingredients, it's a good match, but if we're talking about the Huabiao Awards, it's purely domestically produced."

"Foreign men are the main characters, while Chinese women are just supporting roles, tsk tsk tsk."

Ye Shaokang neither confirmed nor denied this.

Let's continue watching the Huabiao Awards.

This time, his only interest was in Li Yun.

his works.

Can

"If you're thinking of going to see Li Yun, I advise you not to waste your time. He's not qualified to sit at those tables anymore."

"This time, Ma Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou have already taken up two spots."

These are two undisputed winners, for the Best Director award.

Perhaps the best feature film, this big pot of rice has its name on it.

But the best director.

Li Yun is still a little short.

it has started.

Start from the back and work backwards.

As announced by the host.

Best Overseas Chinese Actor, Best Overseas Chinese Director.

Chow Yun-fat, from Hong Kong, was the first to stand on the podium.

Thank you everyone.

Chow Yun-fat accepted the silver Tiananmen Trophy without hesitation.

He has received countless trophies like this.

He's just going through the motions; the Huabiao Awards aren't his main focus. He's already won so many Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards that he's practically overflowing with them.

He'll never be eligible for the Huabiao Award.

This is a private area for the CCTV circle and the Beijing circle.

This is a problem arising from the difference in the subject matter that the industry excels at.

Every circle has its own comfortable themes.

No one can be an expert in all subjects, and no circle can do that.

Next up is a dazzling array of films, including excellent animated films, excellent dubbed films, excellent documentaries, excellent film technology, excellent children's films, excellent opera films, excellent digital films, and excellent co-production awards.

The silver Tiananmen Trophy was handed out one by one.

The trophy representing the crown of the Huabiao Awards.

However, compared to the following segments, the previous ones were all just supporting roles.

Because the real heart of the story comes from the works that follow.

Best New Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.

Best Director, Best Feature Film.

At this point, everyone stopped making noise.

The only two who were relatively relaxed were Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang, as they were very familiar with the Huabiao Awards venue.

I'm already very familiar with this place.

Only they still had the mood to chat and laugh.

"After winning this Huabiao Award, I'm going to start working on co-productions."

"A collaboration with Hollywood?"

"Yes, a collaboration with Hollywood." Zhang Yimou smiled slightly and said, "The next stage I'll be standing on is the Oscars."

He doesn't just want to be the fifth generation of powerful figures in the Chinese community.

He also aspires to become the fifth generation of powerful figures in the global arena.

Let the whole world know.

What he, Zhang Guoshi, possessed.

His talent should be known worldwide.

"This year's Huabiao Awards will probably be dominated by the three of us brothers again."

This time, the best director award goes to...

The Flowers of War, Zhang Yimou.

1942, Ma Xiaogang.

The Orphan of Zhao, Chen Kaige.

It's already booked.

There were no other candidates.

Then came the Best New Director award, which went to Zhang Meng, whose art film was called "The Piano in a Factory".

Zhang Meng is an eighth-generation director.

Even he himself never imagined that he would actually stand on the Huabiao Award stage one day.

Best New Director.

The gold-plated Tiananmen Trophy.

Even when standing on the podium, he seemed a little lost.

This is what's going to ruin Jiang Wen's Zhihu.

"We're doomed, we're stuck with the bullets flying."

If we're talking about letting the bullets fly, where's the place with the highest probability of winning a prize?

That would probably be the Best Actor and Best New Director awards.

In particular, the Best New Director award is specifically designed for the new generation of directors.

Someone like Li Yun, who is standing on the awards stage for the first time as a director, deserves this kind of preferential treatment.

To qualify for the Best New Director award.

But at this moment, he quietly relinquished the title of Best New Director.

It was given to someone else.

"The Piano in a Steel" is indeed a good movie. Li Yuxuan, who was standing next to him, was not too surprised.

The film "The Piano in a Factory" was a complete box office disaster.

After all, as a purely art film, you can't expect it to do well at the box office.

However, one has advantages and the other has disadvantages.

This is a film made specifically to win awards.

A work specifically created to win awards.

Everything was specially designed for winning the award.

This is the advantage of art films.

It seems that the director of "Let the Bullets Fly" was not included in the selection of new directors.

It can be said that, as things stand, Li Yun has already missed out on the director award, which was the director award that Li Yun was most likely to receive.

As a newcomer.

New director.

"Isn't there also a Best Director award?" Ji Tielan said with her dignified and elegant demeanor, "There's more than just this one Best Director award at the Huabiao Awards."

"Do you know how many people are vying for the Best Director award? There's a full three generations between the Fifth Generation and the Eighth Generation directors."

"So, it turns out that even heroes are judged by their background and age. I thought that as long as the work was excellent enough, one could be nominated. If the distinction is based solely on resume, then what is the point of the Huabiao Awards?"

Ji Tielan's words left Li Yuxuan speechless.

Frustrated, innocent, and pitiful.

But I don't know what to say.

Okay, so be it. Who told him to be our matriarch?

However, Li Yun is no longer eligible for the director award.

However, there is still a chance for them to win an award in the acting category.

Li Yun remained calm throughout.

I didn't feel much.

Liu Qianqian was the same. Seeing how calm the two of them were, Jiang Chenggang, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask.

"Li Zi, aren't you even a little bit nervous? You've just missed out on the director's award."

Although being a runner-up for the Huabiao Awards is a great honor, it is still something to be proud of.

It's a very honorable thing.

In particular, Li Yun is the 8th generation of the new generation.

That's why we've achieved what we have today.

But Jiang Chenggang had high expectations for Li Yun.

I still hope that Li Yun can bring back one or two awards.

The golden Tiananmen Square.

To be able to receive such an award.

How glorious it will be when they go back!

This is a significant achievement for Li Yun's resume.

Huabiao Award.

A prestigious award from the mainstream.

The glory he could bring was tempting enough, but thinking about it carefully, it was still too greedy. After all, this era is full of strong people and powerful figures. It's not that easy to win an award.

Moreover, there's the fatal flaw in Let the Bullets Fly.

It's something everyone knows.

His frivolousness is still vivid in my mind.

It's filled with all sorts of vulgar jokes.

Actually, it doesn't look very harmonious.

This is considered a unique feature of Let the Bullets Fly.

This can be considered the core competitiveness of this work, but it is this core competitiveness.

From a commercial perspective, it's a boost.

However, from the perspective of winning awards nowadays, it has become a slight hindrance.

After all, this is a very elegant place.

It's hard to find something that's mainstream or commonplace.

However, Li Yun laughed at this moment.

"Do you remember what our movie was called?"

"He calls it 'Let the Bullets Fly,' so let's let the bullets fly for a while, since our spent bullet casings haven't hit the ground yet."

Best Screenplay Award.

There's also a Best Music Award.

Li Modu's team made the list.

Even screenwriter Li Modu went on stage to accept the award for Best Screenplay at the Huabiao Awards.

Congratulations!

Li Mo didn't sit with Li Yun and Li Yuxuan; he sat next to Zhang Mouzi.

In a sense, they all belong to the same circle.

Of course, we should sit together.

But for Li Modu...

Zhang Yimou's congratulations seemed a bit hypocritical and condescending, after all, they don't really care about the Best Screenplay award.

Aside from Best Director.

Best Actor.

Aside from these two awards, there's not much else that's appealing to people of their caliber.

The biggest draw is still the Best Director award.

This is the glory they desire.

The Best Screenplay award, however, doesn't seem to have that much appeal.

The reason Zhang Mouzi's tone still carried a hint of sarcasm was probably because of the seemingly highly anticipated "Let the Bullets Fly," which was likely due to Li Yun.

He disliked that young man who seemed so talented; if he had to put it another way, he would call it loathing.

It's called disgust.

However, when Li Yun's name was not on the list of Best New Directors, Zhang Yimou felt a sense of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Much better.

And this misplaced emotion seems to be able to be vented on Li Modu.

At this moment, Li Mo was surprisingly calm.

If it were in the past...

He felt that he would at least feel anger.

But not anymore. After being looked down upon, he now only has one feeling.

"It's not over yet, let the bullets fly a little longer."

Best Actress.

Qin Hailu in The Piano in a Steel, Xu Fan in Tangshan.

Two actresses from the middle generation shared the Best Actress award.

The Huabiao Awards are unique to the double-yolk winners.

When the two radiant middle-aged female stars walked onto the awards stage, they were indeed dazzling and radiant.

The achievements he made here are due to his acting skills and understanding of the characters.

Liu Qianqian rested her chin on her hand and looked at these radiant middle-aged people.

There is light in his eyes.

Her feelings weren't envy.

We will continue to strive to catch up.

And confidence that can be achieved.

Ji Tielan also noticed this glance.

This impressed even the Empress Dowager.

She's a really nice girl.

After the best actress's scenes were revealed.

Now comes the main event.

The most anticipated highlights of this year's Huabiao Awards.

Huabiao Award for Best Actor.

Huabiao Award for Best Director.

And Best Feature Film.

Who can steal the show here?

There are tons of nominees for Best Actor.

Liu Zhibin, Li Xuejian, Zhang Min, Zhao Weihua.

Two are from the Beijing circle, and two are from the CCTV circle.

Zhao Weihua starred in the Korean War film "The Battle of Chosin Reservoir".

They are all veteran actors with years of experience, possessing truly exceptional skills.

Their names were no surprise to everyone present.

And the next name.

Let the bullets fly, Jiang Wen.

On the big screen, the handsome middle-aged man wearing a hat, riding a horse and wearing sunglasses appeared.

It's Jiang Wen.

Zhang Mazi.

"Got it!"

Jiang Wen was very excited.

Let the bullets fly – the first shot at the Huabiao Awards.

He was nominated in the first round.

"Congratulations." Master Tang congratulated him from the side, and Ge You also sincerely congratulated him.

Only he knows how hard Jiang Wen worked on "Let the Bullets Fly".

No, the word "effort" is too hypocritical.

It must be incredibly powerful.

That feeling of being completely immersed in the role.

And acting skills.

It leaves a deep and unforgettable impression.

As an actor, his performance is impressive, and he is well-deserving of a nomination.

He wouldn't be an exaggeration to even win the Huabiao Award for Best Actor.

And the last one.

The person nominated was Li Yun.

At this moment, the fierce and ruthless Huang Silang appeared on the big screen.

And his stand-in.

One actor plays two roles: the volatile and unruly Huang Silang, and the stand-in representing the people.

At this moment, Li Yun's acting skills are displayed on the big screen.

"Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns, my friend."

This is the pinnacle of Li Yun and Jiang Wen's acting duel.

At this year's Huabiao Awards ceremony.

A performance that even the most demanding actor cannot question.

Based solely on this one scene.

That would make this work a masterpiece.

Huabiao Award.

Every year there are two yolks (two winners).

Therefore, the Best Actor at the Huabiao Awards is not entirely a Best Actor; he can only be considered half a Best Actor and half a Best Actress.

Although its gold content is undoubtedly high.

Especially since this award has official backing.

If actors within the system were to compete for the Golden Horse, Hong Kong Film Awards, and Huabiao Awards, they would choose one Best Actor.

That must be half a Huabiao Award winner for Best Actor.

The award, which has a long history and is hosted by the State Film Administration, involves the selection process of the Publicity Department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and other major confidential departments, leaving no room for manipulation.

For ordinary actors within the system, this is practically the highest honor.

The Huabiao Award is a stepping stone to becoming a national first-class actor. Having this award means you've already taken one step into the world of national first-class actors.

The remaining foot might just be a spot for unit evaluation.

Within the system, nothing is more prestigious than the Huabiao Award.

Not everyone is as twisted as Chow Yun-fat and his ilk, treating major awards like their own backyard to rack up points.

Most people will receive a nomination.

Only a small number of the strongest can win a crown.

That's already incredibly lucky.

Li Yun's appearance in these names is quite an achievement for a young actor of the new generation.

Make everyone who knows him happy for him.

"Congratulations." Li Yuxuan was a little stunned, then suddenly became excited.

A nomination for Best Actor at the Huabiao Awards.

That's quite an impressive resume.

"Why do you seem less than happy?" Li Yuxuan asked, puzzled.

Yes, Li Yun was incredibly calm.

He was so calm that it was as if he hadn't received the nomination at all.

"The bullet hasn't even hit the ground yet."

If there were to be a Best Actor award for "Let the Bullets Fly," everyone would think that Jiang Wen would have a higher chance of winning the Huabiao Award for Best Actor.

Then it will only be Jiang Wen who lands.

Jiang Wen was also very nervous, his palms were sweating.

And then came the moment of revelation.

Best Actor.

Two names.

The answer is revealed.

The two Huabiao Award winners are Liu Zhibin, who undoubtedly deserves the first place.

Second place.

Li Yun.

Best Actor.

Everyone held their breath.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the name.
