That year Huayu

In the last two days, the Asian Newcomer Award and the Film Channel Media Awards came to an end, and the atmosphere of the Shanghai International Film Festival reached its peak again.

When I woke up, there were less than 10 hours left before the closing ceremony and red carpet of the final main competition unit.

All the crews, filmmakers, actors and artists began to prepare for the "red carpet ceremony" in the evening.

"I laughed to death last night. "Farewell My Concubine" has been released for 23 years, and I didn't expect it to win an award! Hahaha..."

"Think about the excitement of Director Chen Kaige at that time. His eyes were red when he was holding the trophy and speaking?"

"The great director was reminiscing about the past the whole time, and his spirit was a little excited."

Zhou Xun leaned against the door frame and chattered with Han Jianu who was cracking melon seeds, while Shu Chang was happy to join in the fun;

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, and were speechless to the extreme of this scene.

That's right, Director Chen won an award last night, the Special Honor Award of the Film Channel Media Awards - "Farewell My Concubine"!

After receiving the award, Chen Kaige spoke on the stage for more than half an hour, regretting his ignorance back then.

Because when "Farewell My Concubine" was originally registered for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, all the producers and creators were so ignorant that they did not send the film videotapes to the judges, and did not know the "public relations" process, so that the Academy judges mistakenly believed that the "Farewell My Concubine" crew did not look down on the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film...

Well, anyway, that's what Director Chen said; he said that it was because of this reason that his masterpiece missed the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Afterwards, many Academy members expressed their regret to him, saying that they missed a really good movie.

It was too long ago, and Lin Nan could not verify the authenticity, but since Chen Kaige could bring it up openly, the credibility is indeed a bit high.

However, his "reminiscing" look of past glory really made many big directors in the circle laugh;

After all, he has been going downhill for the past 23 years. He only won one general A-level Best Director award, and it was awarded by the San Sebastian International Film Festival, which is particularly friendly to Chinese-language films, in 2002!

"Hmm? Old Han's call?"

Han Jianu's cell phone rang, and Han Sanye was urging his little cotton-padded jacket to go back.

"Okay, I'll be back soon. Okay, I'm by the side, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Han Jianu asked listlessly at Lin Nan, "Brother Lin, Old Han called me back and asked me to call you by the way, saying that your phone is turned off."

"Why are you looking for me now? My phone is in flight mode. There are too many calls, all of which are harassing calls about Tudou's financing. There is only one week left for the quotation."

"It seems to be about the Huabiao Award."

Hearing this, the most excited people were not Lin Nan, but Liu Yifei and Shu Chang!

"Then I'll go around?" Director Lin smiled and looked at Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, who nodded immediately, "Ask Mr. Han if he has any inside information."

"I'm afraid there is." Zhou Xun smiled and interrupted. After all, it's the Huabiao Awards. There should be some news by now, but it's limited to the leaders.

"Xiao Han, let's go. I'll take you back." Lin Nan picked up the sunglasses on the table and sat up.

It is estimated that after a while, the brands of Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and Zhou Xun will send their respective dresses and jewelry, as well as the makeup team. Lin Nan will not be able to see their makeup process.

When Lin Nan and Han Jianu set off, Han Sanping had just returned to the room from Tong Gang.

As Zhou Xun said, there are only 5 days left before the Huabiao Awards ceremony. Some news can indeed be found out by the Film Bureau if they want to;

Similar to the "hidden rules" link in the second half of the opening of the international A-level film festival, there are rumors.

…

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan, with his assistant and driver, sent Han Jianu back to the hotel where the China Film Group and the leaders of the Film Bureau were staying.

Seeing Han Jianu rushing in, Han Sanping, who was watching the news, immediately lost his face.

"Lady, lady, I have told you countless times, can you look a little girly?"

"I have also said it many times, I have been raised as a son since I was a child, who told you not to have a second child back then?"

Han Jianu's words almost choked Han Sanping to death, thinking he didn't want to? He was a factory director in a leadership position at the age of 30, but the policy at that time had been written into the national policy, and he couldn't have a second child or fight for a son!

"Boss Han, don't be angry, you only have this one daughter, and you are counting on her to take care of you in your old age... Well, it's nothing."

Looking at Han Sanping's cannibalistic expression, Lin Nan's jokes stopped abruptly, and if he continued, he would definitely be sprayed.

"Boss Han, let's talk business. The red carpet show is coming up this afternoon, and Yifei and the others are probably already getting their makeup done in the hotel. You can't have called me here without saying anything, right? Where's the business?"

"No, get lost." Han Sanping glared at Lin Nan, his eyes full of undisguised disdain.

"Don't, your daughter has been eating, drinking, and using my money for a while. Just the brand-name bags, Xixi and Shu Chang each gave her one, not counting the one Zhou Xun gave her..."

"Stop, stop, stop, are you asking me to reimburse you?"

Han Sanping first interrupted Lin Nan in a bad mood, and then glared at his own leaky cotton jacket; the latter raised his head and ignored him completely.

"Sit down. The news from the Central Propaganda Department is too tight. Director Tong asked several times before getting some news, but it's not complete." Han Sanping's tone softened a lot, maybe he felt that his daughter was short-changed?

Need Han Sanping to say it? Lin Nan had already sat next to Han Jianu. He poured himself a cup of tea, which should have been brewed by Han Sanye not long ago.

"You tell me, so I can have a rough idea; on the night of the 24th, I don't have to get excited about every award I see."

"You, excited? You are used to seeing big awards, so you will be excited? Last time, the Huabiao Award specially established the Outstanding Director Contribution Award, and it was me who helped you accept it."

Han Sanping rolled his eyes at Lin Nan, with contempt in his tone.

"Hurry up and tell me, what are you talking about? I'm getting anxious." Han Jianu muttered.

As expected, there is always someone better! Han Sanping continued:

"There are 18 films nominated for the Outstanding Feature Film Award, and half of them will win. Your "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is eligible for the award, and your company has at least one film that can win the award, but we are not sure which one it is."

After saying this, Han Sanping looked into Lin Nan's eyes.

In the puzzled eyes of Director Lin, Han Sanye let out a long breath and showed a more relaxed smile on his face:

"There are eight nominees for the Outstanding Director Award, but... congratulations."
