I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 876 872. Three Golds

This year's red carpet had more celebrities than the previous one.

A star in the true sense of the word.

Yuntu has been established for more than a year and has attracted many artists. This time, they were all "compulsory requirements" and they were all called over.

There are even many people with "attributes" like Diao Yinan.

Again, the market is changing, and the situation is stronger than people.

Looking at the past three or four years from the beginning of the northwest circle's strong rise to the present, in fact, they have not particularly emphasized regional attributes.

Even the invitation letters this time were sent to many people’s business docking mailboxes.

Whether you come or not is one thing.

Whether we do it or not is another matter.

And this resulted in that in addition to the absolute core figures in the Beijing circle, there were more or less other "little Karami" people who gave Xiying Studio face.

After all, no one knows who will win, so it's always good to have a good relationship.

As for red carpet quality…

In fact, let alone mention it.

Regardless of others, just the big flower Liang Bingning is here, whether it is traffic or topic volume, it will definitely not be bad.

As for Xu Xin, who has lost count of the number of red carpets he has walked on over the years, his heart is also at peace.

Even, he and Yang Mi left separately.

Yang Mi was with Wang Jiawei and the others, while Xu Xin was with the crew of "Scorching Sun".

The crew of "Scorching Sun" was all out, including Duan Yihong.

However, compared to the popularity of the topic, in terms of pure comparison, "Scorching Sun" did not beat "The Grandmaster".

It's not a matter of popularity, but purely topicality.

Everyone wants to know what the hell is going on in Wang Jiawei's film?

Some netizens have already changed it from "The Grandmaster" to "The Missing Generation".

In my impression... it seems that Yang Mi filmed this movie in 2009, right?

It's the end of 2009, the beginning of 2010... It turns out that it's already been 13 years, and there's still no news about your movie?

What are you doing?

Ever since, the crew of "Scorching Sun" had been in for a while, and "The Grandmaster" came in just behind them.

The two crews were next to each other because of Xu Xin and Yang Mi's relationship.

As soon as he sat down, he heard his wife complain:

"Oh, I won't let you go! I have to ask when it will be released..."

Xu Xin nodded slightly, and then subconsciously put his hand on his wife's head.

Although there is no direct air blowing from the air outlet, the air conditioning in the conference center is indeed quite powerful. The wind was whooshing.

Seeing the wind on his wife's head, he took off his coat.

Take a look, what a gentleman.

However, Yang Mi didn't appreciate it.

Perhaps because she had just come in from outside, she was quite warm.

Reject directly:

"I don't want it, I'm not cold. I'm so beautifully dressed, wouldn't I look good in your clothes~"

"Don't give it to me."

Liu Zhishi, who was sitting next to Xu Xin, snatched Xu Xin's dress jacket away:

"I'm freezing my ass off."

That's what she said.

No other person could achieve such an image.

Sitting in front of the two of them, Varino, who played Leler in "The Ringing Ring", turned his head and glanced, and immediately asked Yang Mi in a very gentlemanly manner:

"Yang, can I give you mine?"

Yang Mi quickly waved her hand:

"No, Valino, I'm not cold."

Then less than five minutes after she finished speaking, her face gradually became a little unnatural.

Oh, that's not right.

This temperature...

"Shishi, are you still cold?"

Xu Xin finally caught the opportunity and forcibly interrupted his wife's spell casting:

"She's cold."

"..."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched.

Liu Zhishi glanced at her friend with a half-smile, and nodded sincerely:

"I am cold."

"You might as well get into his arms if you're cold. Hurry up and give me back my husband's clothes!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Duan Yihong and the others were speechless.

Liu Zhishi's face suddenly turned red.

"You farted!"

"Yes, yes, I farted. Hurry, my fart is about to freeze! Why is this air conditioner so cold..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xin sneered:

"Just freeze. I just learned a saying these days. It's called: If you don't accompany the tiger down to the sun, who will you be when it comes back? You didn't want it when it was given to you, and you want it now? It's too late!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

A bunch of people were speechless again.

My heart says it’s so fresh.

Director Xu is really selfless.

Helping managers does not help relatives.

In the end, Zhang Yi, who was still stupid and sincere, couldn't stand it anymore, coughed, and took off his coat.

He originally wanted to give it to Liu Zhishi and ask Shishi to give the coat to Yang Mi.

As a result, as soon as the clothes were handed over and before anyone could open her mouth, Yang Mi stretched out her hand and snatched them away:

"Thank you Flower Protector No. 1 for sending me a dress! Old Iron 666!"

After speaking, he pointed his finger:

"We'll get a divorce when we get home!"

Xu Xin nodded:

"Okay~"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The people around could see it.

Pure neurosis.

…

It’s good to have familiar crew members sitting together.

No life.

While waiting for the opening of the show, everyone was having a great time chatting.

The atmosphere is quite good.

However, it’s really fast for female celebrities to turn their backs on others.

When everyone entered the venue and the award ceremony was about to begin, Liu Zhishi and Yang Mi all took off their dresses neatly.

Just kidding...the next step is to compete for beauty.

Wearing a dress?

Too cheap.

Yang Mi also slapped her husband's fingers away.

Why are you touching my arm? Didn't you see that I'm getting goosebumps?

Female celebrities have to make sure that every time they appear in a scene, they look perfect.

Even if you get goosebumps, you have to endure it.

The awards ceremony still starts with the "Silk Road Unit".

This time Xu Xin didn't have to go out as an award guest.

Just sit on the chair and watch and applaud.

He basically watched all the movies in the Silk Road section.

All OK.

However, what he was more curious about was the moment when the awards for the Silk Road section were awarded. When these people and some people in front of the screen knew that during the entire Silk Road Film Festival, the venture capital conference’s film investment transaction volume was 3.5 For hundreds of millions of years, their expressions and moods...

It's a bit of a pity...

"Hua la la la la la..."

Amidst the applause, he looked at the amount of the venture capital meeting announced by Qi Lei himself, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

If only I could read minds.

If you can read minds, you can see what everyone is thinking.

Qi Lei doesn’t need to look.

At this moment, he must have one thought in his mind: far ahead!

…

Soon, the first awards of the main competition unit began to be awarded.

On the stage, one of the judges, Chen Kexin’s partner Xi Meijuan, took out the envelope:

"Sister Xi, let's go together?"

"good."

Xi Meijuan nodded, and the two of them spoke into the microphone together:

"The screenplay that won the best screenplay at the 2nd Silk Road Film Festival is..."A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart"! Congratulations!"

"Hua la la la la..."

Amid the applause, director Wang Jing and screenwriter Wu Nan in the crew of "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" were a little bit incredulous.

He even looked in the direction of Xu Xin for the first time.

It's not "Scorching Sun"?

Valino, who was in front of Xu Xin, raised his hands and cheered, while looking in the direction of Jasmine and Eduardo.

With a victor's attitude, he shrugged casually at the two of them.

It seems to be saying:

"That's it?"

"..."

Jasmine was speechless.

I couldn't help but turned to Xu Xin and asked in the midst of applause:

"How many votes are there?"

Xu Xin also shrugged:

"4 votes to 4.5."

The judging rules of the Silk Road Film Festival: Each judge has one vote, and the chairman of the jury has 1.5 votes.

The same rules as the big three.

And Jasmine reacted immediately:

"8 people?"

"Well, I abstain."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After hearing his words, everyone in the circle understood how this award was born.

The answer to why Xu Xin abstained from voting must be obvious.

He was a judge and felt that the award should go to "Heart of the Sun".

In order to avoid suspicion, I abstained from voting.

The final result was that "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" won this award with a gap of 0.5 votes.

As for the result of this award...

To be honest, in the eyes of the audience who grabbed the screening of "Heart of the Sun", it was acceptable.

In the eyes of viewers who have not watched "Heart of the Burning Sun", it is well deserved.

"Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart"... is really good.

Even though it's a bit sadistic and doesn't have any big names... it's really an excellent movie.

And just when screenwriter Wu Nan received the gold ribbon trophy and said her acceptance speech, Yang Mi leaned into her husband's ear and said:

"Now that we've reached this stage, just tell me whether Shishi is the best actress."

She spent the entire film festival fishing, so she didn't see much of the movie.

But it doesn't matter. When the movie is over, you can get a copy from the factory and take it home to watch.

There are fifty films in total, enough to keep you entertained for a long time.

At least it can hold two boxes of red wine.

When he heard her whisper, Xu Xin shook his head slightly and whispered:

"She is good enough, but... Yan Bingyan is better than her."

"..."

Yang Mi was silent.

And when the words "Winner of the Best Actress... Yan Pingyan, congratulations!" resounded in the auditorium, a trace of disappointment inevitably appeared in Liu Zhishi's eyes.

At this time, a hand stretched out.

Liu Zhishi turned her head instinctively and looked at Duan Yihong's concerned eyes.

She blinked, then smiled and shook her head.

He grabbed his brother's hand and squeezed it hard.

"I'm fine."

She said to herself in her heart:

"Not winning an award means I'm not good enough! Just keep working hard!"

Now his eyes were becoming more and more alert, revealing an extremely determined look.

Looking at Yan Bingyan who was already crying with joy on the stage, she gave her warmest applause.

"Thousands of Arrows Pierce the Heart", when she came here yesterday, she went to see a performance.

This award... Teacher Yan deserves it!

…

The Silk Road Film Festival is not as rigid as Cannes, which stipulates that each film can only win one award.

This can be seen from the awards won by "Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang", "The Favorite" and "HELLO, Mr. Tree" last year.

If a movie is outstanding in terms of direction, script, story, or acting, then the awards it deserves will definitely not be stingy.

The award will be given fairly and equitably to all those who deserve it.

Therefore, with last year's Zhuyu in the lead, "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" won two awards, which is natural in everyone's opinion.

And when Yan Pingyan left the stage amid applause, the Silk Road Film Festival was closed.

The "Best Actor" award is here.

Liang Binning took Jia Zhangke's arm, and the two of them came to the microphone step by step.

"Good evening, everyone. I am director Jia Zhangke."

"Hua la la la la..."

"Hello everyone, I am actress Liang Binning."

"Hua la la la la..."

After the polite applause ended, Liang Binning said:

"It's an honor to be the presenter to present the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Silk Road Film Festival."

After she finished speaking, Jia Zhangke also nodded:

"Yes, it is even more honorable that Bingbing and I, as judges of the main competition unit of the Silk Road Film Festival, participated in the voting for various awards. Here, I am very grateful to the Film Festival Association for its trust in our judges. .”

"That's right... Director Jia, when we were selecting this award, we had a lot of arguments. Do you still remember?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhangke showed a... poor acting smile on his face.

He seemed to be a little embarrassed and said:

"This...do you want to say it? Can you say it?"

"It should be okay."

After Liang Binning finished speaking, Jia Zhangke thought for a while and said:

"Then...you tell me?"

"Haha, okay, let me tell you. First of all, what I want to tell you is that our judging rules are that there are 9 people in the jury. Director Xie Fei, as the chairman of the jury, has 1.5 votes of decision-making power. And the other judges , each person has one vote. The advantage of this is that it can avoid the phenomenon of tie votes to the greatest extent, and select the best one among all the outstanding actors who can be shortlisted to win this honor."

After Liang Binning explained the review rules, she continued:

"But... regarding the voting for Best Actor, among our first round of 9.5 votes, 6 people abstained. Only three judges made their own choices. And the choices of these three judges, each No one is the same. Therefore, the first round of voting...is invalid."

"!"

Hearing this, many people in the audience widened their eyes in surprise.

But he seemed to understand something immediately, and one look after another began to drift in Xu Xin's direction.

Duan Yihong and the others were equally surprised.

At this time, Liang Binning continued to say:

"Then, Director Xie Fei asked us to conduct a second round of voting. He told us: Just write down your favorite answer. Follow your inner voice. The results of the second round of voting were three actors, each with two votes. 3.5 abstentions.”

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Actually, by now, I believe some of you can already guess which three actors they are. At that time, after the second round of voting, all the jury members suspended their voting, and we had an in-depth discussion. even……"

Speaking of this, she looked in Xu Xin's direction with a smile and continued:

"Even a certain director who had always abstained was forced to vote for his favorite candidate."

Jia Zhangke on the side also kept nodding. After hearing this, he couldn't help but said:

"The discussion was really intense."

"That's right, and then we conducted two more rounds of voting. In the end, Director Xie Fei made the decision. After the last round of voting, we came to a result."

When she said this, Jia Zhangke had already taken out the envelope from his arms.

After taking out the folded list of winners from the envelope, he read into the microphone word by word:

"The winner of the Best Actor at the 2nd Silk Road Film Festival is..."

Liang Binning glanced at the list and said directly:

"Zhang Yi!"

Jia Zhangke quickly followed:

"Wang Qianyuan!"

Finally, Liang Binning concluded:

"Duan Yihong! Congratulations, three of you!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Amidst the exciting music, what appeared on the screen were the stunned looks of three people sitting next to each other.

Three...three yolk eggs?

? ? ? ? ?

Although when Liang Bingning recited the voting scene before, many people could have guessed... this award went to "Scorching Sun".

But……

Three yolk eggs?

Are you sure you gave me three-yolk eggs?

The huge surprise caused the applause to be sparse for a while.

And just then...

"YES!!!"

Jasmine suddenly jumped up and raised her hands high in cheers!

Everyone was sitting together, and there were only a few foreigners wearing simultaneous interpretation headsets in the audience, and there were some foreign faces in some of the crew.

For example, the photographer on the set of "The Grandmaster".

At this moment, the appearance of a foreign woman raising her hands in the air and cheering quickly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

But Jasmine laughed loudly and looked at her friends next to her:

"How's it going? Did I say that? They all gave wonderful performances! They deserve this! You lost! Hahahahaha!"

She was laughing wildly.

Eduardo on the side looked helpless.

At the same time, he stood up, turned around, and started applauding the three people who were still in a daze.

It can be said that the warm applause was caused by these two foreigners.

Eduardo stood up, followed by Valino, Guiseppe, Marco... Although everyone who watched the movie was surprised, this result... in their opinion, was equally well-deserved.

Xu's work really portrays these three characters beyond description.

Everyone played their part.

It was them who made this movie move towards a path of perfection.

Although three-yolked eggs are not a common sight at any film festival. But... putting it here, they feel it is natural.

then.

Foreigners led the Chinese people.

The applause went from sparse to a veritable tsunami.

"Hua la la la la..."

Amid the applause, Xu Xin patted the stunned Zhang Yi:

"Go ahead. Don't worry about anything else. This is our decision. You just need to enjoy the glory of this moment."

"..."

Following Xu Xin's reminder, Zhang Yi quickly stood up and followed the lead brother Wang Qianyuan to the stage.

On the other hand, Yang Mi applauded and turned to her husband and said:

"I'm afraid you'll be quite busy with the press conference coming soon."

Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled slightly.

Actually, Sister Bingbing is being conservative.

At that time, everyone was already making a fuss.

Some people think that these three people deserve the awards, while others think that three Best Actor trophies are simply ridiculous. When the person who felt that he deserved the title heard this, he was asked to choose the one with the worst acting skills among the three people. Then the two sides started to stalemate...

After the final four rounds of voting.

Director Xie Fei said: Just follow this result. As the chairman of the jury, I take full responsibility for this selection result.

The final word.

As for this result...

Xu Xin also admitted that it was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

But on his side, he also felt that it was natural.

If it wasn't for this possibility, why would he have suppressed "Heart of the Sun" for so long, just for a trip to Berlin?

not to mention……

"The winner of the Best Director award is..."Scorching Sun", Xu Xin, congratulations!"

"Hua la la la la..."

Amid applause, Xu Xin stepped onto the stage step by step.

He took the gold ribbon trophy from Mo Yan.

Oops~

Heavy enough.

He weighed it, took the bouquet, and then stood in front of the microphone.

The light was slightly dazzling.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the entire scene.

Saw many people.

Wen Zhang, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Yang Ying...

Many familiar faces were looking at him.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Thank you to the jury for awarding this honor to me. To be honest, starting from Best Screenplay, I chose to abstain in most votes."

As he spoke, he politely spread his hands upward and gestured in Xie Fei's direction.

"Director Xie once asked me: If you said you don't vote, why are you here as a judge?"

On the screen, with Xie Fei smiling, Xu Xin shook his head:

"Although it is said that relatives should not be avoided when promoting talents, but... I feel that for the sake of fairness and justice in the Silk Road Film Festival, I must exclude my personal works, which is better. After all, what parent would dislike themselves? Are your children worse than others?"

As he spoke, he looked down at his trophy:

"But... I am also grateful to the jury for their recognition of the work "Heart of the Burning Sun". Because it is really the best and most satisfying work that I have performed so far. This is Being able to receive this award at this moment is also a huge affirmation for me. Thank you to all the teachers on the jury, and thank you to my friends who have always supported me. I also hope that the full version of "Heart of the Burning Sun" will be available to you as soon as possible !Finally, thank you to the Silk Road Film Festival and all those who support and love movies. Thank you!”

He bowed deeply to everyone.

Amid applause from all around, holding the trophy, he walked off the stage step by step.

Along the way, he could hear many sounds.

"Director Xu, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Director Xu!"

"Director Xu, you are well-deserved!"

He nodded politely and thanked her all the way, and finally returned to his seat.

…

"The film that won the Grand Jury Prize is... 'A Thousand Arrows'! Congratulations!"

"The winner of the Silk Road Film Festival's best film is..."Heart of the Sun"! Congratulations!!"

This night.

As Xu Xin stepped onto the stage for the second time, he gave a speech of thanks and then the curtain call came.

The second "Silk Road Film Festival" has come to an end.

Not giving other movies a single chance.

"Ten Thousand Arrows" and "Scorching Sun" share the world.

This result...

how to say.

It's unexpected.

But it is reasonable.

Among the 100 people who have watched the two works, it can even be said that at least 95 people feel that these two works deserve the awards.

Because these two works are really excellent.

The level of excellence is, to a certain extent, far ahead of other works.

And looking at the fifty selected films from the entire Silk Road Film Festival... none of them are particularly bad.

This film festival has made many viewers aware of excellent domestic films that they may not have paid attention to before.

but……

There are two sides to everything.

Wherever there are people, there are also rivers and lakes.

The symbols of "The Burning Sun" are clear.

Works by Xu Xin.

Works from West Film Studio and Northwest Circle.

What about "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart"?

Although Wang Jing has been in the directing industry for a long time, he can only be said to be a nobody.

But unfortunately, the producer of this drama is Xie Fei.

The Silk Road Film Festival is organized by Xiying Film Studio.

This time the chairman of the jury is Xie Fei again...

The combination of these factors makes it easy for people to think about other aspects.

This is why Tian Shuanghe asked Xu Xin if anyone had any objections to this award after seeing these results.

This shows that from the very beginning, he knew the pressure he might face when awarding these awards.

only……

Tian Shuanghe is not afraid.

Xiying Studio and Northwest Circle are not afraid either.

The Silk Road Film Festival is even less afraid.

If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows.

Next, with the support of the factory, "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" will also go to Tokyo to participate in the election.

Already shortlisted for the main competition unit.

The shortlist for Berlin will be announced in two months.

Whether it is shady, whether the pork is divided, and a series of other things will be verified at internationally recognized higher film festivals to verify their gold content.

As for the controversy at this film festival, be it Tian Shuanghe or Xu Xin. In everyone's eyes, at best, it can only be regarded as the darkness before dawn.

Do these two movies deserve their...

Let's... wait and see!

The second "Silk Road Film Festival" officially came to an end on the evening of August 10, 2012.
