Chapter 264: Everything was caused by Zhang Yimou!
Next up are the much-anticipated awards.
The first award to be presented was for Best Supporting Actress.
The presenter tore open the envelope and said, "The winner of Best Supporting Actress is Zhou Xun from Shoplifters! Congratulations!"
Hearing the voice, Chen An clapped and congratulated.
Zhou Xun stood up happily and hugged several people nearby.
Seeing Zhou Xun approaching, Chen An stood up helplessly and hugged her while saying, "Keep up the good work and win the Best Actress award next time."
"Then please write a script and ask me to act in it."
Zhou Xun's eyes turned and he spoke.
Then he walked onto the stage to receive the award.
Chen An sat down again and looked at Zhou Xun on the stage with interest.
Xu Jinglei is such an unlucky person. She was kicked out of the lineup of the four major actresses by Zeng Li, and now even the Best Supporting Actress award has been snatched away by Zhou Xun.
The title of "Beijing's most talented woman" that should have been famous by now is gone.
Zhou Xun went on stage to give her acceptance speech.
The award ceremony then continued, and the Best Supporting Actor award went to Zhao Jun, the supporting actor in the movie "The Car Guard's July", just like before.
The next awards for Best Actor and Best Actress are more important.
Captured by Ge Da Ye and Gong Li together!
"Shoplifters" won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards!
Uncle Ge walked onto the stage and simply expressed his gratitude.
Gong Li walked onto the stage very happily.
Because this is her third time winning this award, which is also the most in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards!
Became the second actress to win this award three times!
"Well, I am really happy to be able to stand on this stage today and to receive this award again. I would like to thank the judges and the audience for their support. For an actor, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to be recognized by the film festival many times."
Gong Li said a lot while standing on the stage.
Originally, there was a set time limit for the acceptance speeches, but this time, no one rushed her, allowing her to speak as much as she wanted.
After she finished speaking, her eyes looked towards the audience, and the camera was also aimed at the audience.
The meaning is self-evident.
The Best Actor and Best Actress awards are not the most prestigious awards, but they are the ones that ordinary people pay the most attention to, because it is always the actors on the screen who face the audience directly!
However, this was the first award that belonged to Chen An personally.
"Heart Labyrinth" won the Best Screenplay Award!
There was warm applause at the scene, and Chen An smiled and nodded in thanks.
I am not surprised that this movie can beat "Shoplifters", because "The Heart Labyrinth" is a work that purely relies on the plot to lift the film, and it excels with its plot and script!
After receiving the certificate and trophy from the guests, Chen An held them in his hands and said to the camera: "Thank you." He first said some words of thanks, which is standard.
Then he changed the subject and said with a smile: "I also want to explain the fact that those who study photography want to be directors. It was because of Brother Zhang's movie "To Live" that I had the idea of making a movie to learn photography. So in the end, it was Brother Zhang who guided me."
Chen An was talking with a smile on the stage, and brought the topic to Zhang Yimou. He was the leader. Those directors whose jobs were taken away, don't come to me.
This person is the founder and the leader who is trying to steal your jobs.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of loud applause and laughter.
As expected of Chen An, he is still so explosive when he opens his mouth!
The photographer was also knowledgeable and immediately switched the camera to focus on Zhang Yimou in the audience.
I just happened to see his confused expression. You are such a good junior brother!
"Hahahaha, it turns out that wherever Chen An is, there is fun. Zhang Yimou's face was stunned!"
"It's confirmed. This guy really made the movie because of To Live. I'll post it online later."
"It really was worth watching TV today. I laughed so hard that I almost died."
The audience watching on TV originally felt that the Best Actor and Best Actress awards were boring, and the Best Picture award was pegged as Shoplifters, but they didn't expect there would be trouble.
Zhang Yimou at the scene could only smile bitterly when facing the camera. He didn't expect Chen An to play this trick.
Chen An on the stage felt that since he was in the entertainment industry, it would be nice to have some fun occasionally.
He walked off the stage with a smile on his face, and sat back next to Zhang Yimou, ignoring the look he gave him.
However, Uncle Ge was not at his seat. He went backstage in advance to guest-star as the award presenter.
Came on stage to present the Best Director Award.
As expected, the winner was "Hero"!
Just like last year, two blockbusters that grossed over 200 million yuan both won the Best Director Award!
This is also the third time that he has won the Best Director award, which is exactly the same as Gong Li who won the Best Actress award!
The other party is also the director who has won the most Golden Rooster Awards, including one Best Photography, three Best Films, and three Best Directors.
No wonder some people say that he is an award-winning director.
He has won many awards at home and abroad.
Zhang Yimou walked onto the stage, took the award, and approached the microphone, smiling cheerfully:
"Actually, it's not all my fault that they studied photography and became directors. They are really good at what they do. And they can win the Palme d'Or and the Oscars because of their own talent."
It would have been fine if he hadn't explained it, but once he did, it immediately attracted the whole audience!
Starting with Chen Wei, the country's top photographer Gu Changwei and two top directors Chen An and Zhang Yimou spoke one after another and directly ignited the topic!
On the other end of the live broadcast TV, some of the audience who had been watching directly broke the news online!
In addition, at this Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, four people with photography majors shone brightly!
Especially "Shoplifters", one of which won the Best Director for Debut, one won the Best Director, one won the Best Cinematography, and it was not surprising that it would win the Best Picture.
This time, students from the Photography Department almost swept all the awards!
Countless people instantly flooded into the Tianya Community Forum for discussions!
"Have you watched this year's Golden Rooster Awards?"
"Needless to say, now you know what the flagship major of Beijing Film Academy is, right?"
"Of course, that's the major that has produced the most top-notch, most prestigious directors in the entertainment industry: the photography department!"
"As we all know, actors come from the Central Academy of Drama, and directors come from the Beijing Film Academy. The backbone of the entertainment industry cannot be separated from the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama and the photography department of the Beijing Film Academy!"
“Hahahaha, from now on, there will be no need to divide domestic directors into generations. They can be directly divided into two groups: those with a photography background and those with other backgrounds!”
"Just a joke, the directors at Beijing Film Academy are top in the industry or even the world, but the best directors are in the photography department!"
“If Gu Changwei also becomes a director in the future, it will be a complete classic.”
“I saw it a few years ago. The media asked Beijing Film Academy to cancel the directing department.”
"The source of all evil—Zhang Yimou?"
"."
Originally at that time, among all the directors, the outstanding Zhang Yimou was a bit of an outlier. Most directors graduated from the directing department, and he, who graduated from the photography department, seemed a bit of an outlier.
Gu Changwei and others have not yet tried directing.
But with the sudden rise of Chen An, the two of them directly won all three major European awards, plus an Oscar.
Even if all the directors in the directing department were added together, they couldn’t come together. In addition, with the Golden Rooster Awards shining so brightly this time and Chen Wei starting to stir up trouble, this matter suddenly came to the fore.
It makes people feel quite interesting.
In particular, Chen An and Zhang Yimou are both the leaders and representative figures of Chinese-language films!
Makes this thing look even funnier.
Zhang Yimou, who walked off the stage after finishing his speech, was of course unaware of the discussion among netizens and left the stage amid warm applause.
