Chapter 406 Golden Rooster Award
"That's Wang Hao!"

Not far from Wang Hao and Feng Dapao, Chen Kexin, the director of "Chinese Partners", Wang Jiawei, the director of "The Grandmaster", and Ann Hui, the director of "A Simple Life", stood together and talked about the young figure.

"Young people are really amazing," Xu Anhua said softly, "They are able to single-handedly advance the mainland's film shooting and production technology to such an amazing level."

"Yes," Wang Jiawei also nodded in agreement. "Some of the scenes in my movie The Grandmaster were shot in his studio at Galaxy Film City. To be honest, it is a very comfortable place to shoot movies. The supporting facilities and services are very good. This guy knows a lot about film production."

"It's a pity that he is not a Hong Kong filmmaker, but appeared in the mainland."

When Chen Kexin said this, Ann Hui remained silent, but Wang Jiawei echoed:
"Ah, yes. Compared to him, the younger generation of directors in Hong Kong are simply unteachable. Not only are they narrow-minded, but they are also small-minded. They are totally unworthy of being shown off. When we can no longer make movies, I wonder what the situation of Hong Kong movies will be like."

"That can't be said. The Hong Kong market is still limited after all. It's not bad to be able to flourish for more than a decade. In the future, to train new talents and new directors, we still have to rely on the strength of the mainland..."

The three of them were chatting and talking, but behind them, the three leading actors of the "Chinese Partners" crew, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Tong Dawei, greeted Chen Kexin, and then strode towards Wang Hao.

Having the same behavior as them were the female lead of "The Grandmaster" Zhang Ziyi and the supporting actor Zhang Zhen, who all gathered around Wang Hao enthusiastically.

You should know that in order to respond to the "Notice on Preventing Extravagance and Promoting Frugality in Hosting Evening Parties" issued by the higher authorities, the organizing committee of this year's Golden Rooster Awards deliberately canceled seven activities including the opening and closing ceremony cocktail parties, and the cultural performances at the opening ceremony were cancelled.

In addition, the Golden Rooster Awards itself lacks the "nutritious" activities such as industry forums, theme film screenings, etc. seen at major film festivals, and the award distribution is mostly "double yolk eggs" and "dividing the cake."

As a result, the influence and authority of this official film festival in China has been declining, and it has become a useless festival where judges go through the motions, stars sit in a row, and each person gets one award.

This year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, in particular, can be described as the "quietest" one in history, because on the opening day there were zero stars, zero crews, and zero activities, and it was nicknamed the "three-zero product" by media reporters.

Although it is said to be a frugal festival and let the film festival return to the film itself, the influence of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers is declining day by day. The lack of celebrities and crew is the reason why it was forced to "downsize".

However, this situation has changed as the great director Wang Hao is said to take time out from the busy shooting of his new movie to attend the closing ceremony and award ceremony of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

Originally, the only guests confirmed to attend this year's Golden Rooster Awards were Zhang Guoli, Zhao Wei, Zhang Jingchu, Huang Xiaoming and others. However, when the news spread in the circle that Wang Hao would bring members of the "Gravity" crew to attend the awards ceremony.

A number of celebrity artists, including Zhang Ziyi and Andy Lau, whether on the award list or not, have turned down event business orders and temporarily added attendance at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony to their itinerary.

At this moment, the stars who had come to Jiangcheng specifically to attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony because of Wang Hao, took advantage of the break before the ceremony officially began and immediately gathered around Wang Hao. They greeted him enthusiastically, hoping to get a response from him, or even get in touch with him and establish a preliminary friendship.

A "circle" with Wang Hao as the core was formed at the award ceremony venue around Wang Hao. Wang Hao mostly smiled and responded politely to these colleagues who came to the ceremony because of his reputation.

He also politely exchanged contact information with some well-known figures in the circle. He did not act arrogantly because of his status, demonstrating his good personal cultivation.

However, in the eyes of some people at the scene, his behavior was still so ostentatious and annoying. But if you look down at the entire venue from a high altitude, you will find that those people who gathered together because they hated Wang Hao only occupied a small space. Compared with Wang Hao's side, they were so weak and inconspicuous.

"Director Wang! Hello!"

"Director Wang!"

"Director Wang!"

……

Wang Hao dealt with the people who gathered around him with a smile on his face until his face was almost frozen. He finally took the opportunity of the award ceremony to get rid of the business courtesies and came to his seat with the "Gravity" crew.

But not long after he sat down, a slender hand reached out from behind him and gently patted his shoulder.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to come too!"

When Wang Hao heard this, he turned around and unexpectedly, the person sitting behind him was another beautiful lady, Liu Yifei.

"Yifei, why are you here?"

Wang Hao smiled and greeted Liu Yifei behind him. Jing Tian, ​​who was sitting next to him, also turned around at this moment. When he saw the equally radiant and beautiful Liu Yifei, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of vigilance.

"After all, Jiangcheng is my hometown. The Golden Rooster Awards are held here, so I must come to support it." Liu Yifei replied to Wang Hao with a smile, seemingly unaware of Jing Tian's gaze.

Wang Hao smiled and replied, "The people in Jiangcheng's cultural department and the Golden Rooster Awards organizing committee must be very happy that you can come this time."

Wang Hao noticed the strange atmosphere between the two women, and then took the initiative to introduce Liu Yifei:
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Jing Tian, ​​the heroine of Gravity and my girlfriend."

After being introduced in this way, Jing Tian immediately stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and greeted Liu Yifei.

"Senior Liu, hello. I have heard of your name since I was in school, but I never had the chance to meet you in person."

Compared to when she faced Wang Hao just now, the smile on Liu Yifei's face was obviously a little fainter, but she still maintained a polite attitude and shook hands with Jing Tian.

"Sister Jingtian is also from Beijing Film Academy, it's such a pleasure to meet you.

But I don’t have the luck like you, Sister Jing Tian, ​​who can start by participating in a big production like my senior. Alas, I don’t know when my character in the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] will be able to appear again. "

Liu Yifei's sigh was obviously tinged with sourness.

Among the movies she has participated in in recent years, except for the two "Taken" films in the Galaxy Cinematic Universe, which achieved good box office results at home and abroad, the other movies can be said to be lukewarm.

Of course, with her resources and the projects she has received, she is already very good among the ranks of young actresses, but compared with Jing Tian, ​​she is far behind. You should know that Jing Tian plays Cheng Xin in the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe", a role that Wang Hao personally admitted in an interview about "Gravity" that will be an important figure in the subsequent development of the movie universe.

Moreover, on the official encyclopedia website of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe, Cheng Xin's character introduction page is full. There are even rumors that Cheng Xin will also star in Wang Hao's next new movie "Ball Lightning", and that the movie universe will also have a spin-off TV series "Star Cleaners", in which she will also be one of the leading actors.

Just from these future projects, it can be seen that Galaxy Group prefers Jing Tian, ​​and Wang Hao's admission in front of Liu Yifei that Jing Tian is his girlfriend undoubtedly made this "fairy" even more jealous.

As long as a woman is there, there is no one who does not expect a sweet and perfect love, especially a woman like Liu Yifei who is already 25 or 6. It is unrealistic to say that she has no emotional needs at all.

However, given her situation in the entertainment industry, it is extremely difficult for her to meet a man who is suitable for her in every aspect and whom she can appreciate.

Over the years, there have been men pursuing her, but she was never satisfied.

So looking back now, Wang Hao, who had dealt with her several times in school, was actually an excellent choice.

Especially with the development over the years, Wang Hao's talent, power, wealth and status have gradually increased, which makes Liu Yifei feel a little regretful.

If... if she had been more proactive when they first met, maybe she would be sitting next to Wang Hao now.

This thought flashed through Liu Yifei's mind, but she suppressed it again. It's not like she's not wanted by anyone, so there's no need to rush forward.

Thinking this in her heart, Liu Yifei still had a smile on her face. She had indeed lost interest in continuing to communicate with Wang Hao and continue their friendship, and she did not bother Wang Hao anymore.

As for Wang Hao, when he turned around he felt Jing Tian pinching him hard. This was really an unexpected disaster. For a successful man like him, it was very normal for female stars to approach him.

The story between the three people was just an insignificant episode at the venue, and soon the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony began.

In response to the call from the leadership, some performances that were scheduled to take place during the award ceremony were cut. The whole ceremony was conducted very quickly. After the candidates and winners of the relevant awards were announced, the winners went on stage to receive their awards and that was it.

The first award that Wang Hao and his crew of "Gravity" won was the Best Art Award. The nominees for this award included "1942", "Xiao Hong", "Eighty-two Heroes of Liu Laozhuang", "Gravity" and "The Grandmaster".

In the end, Gravity's art director Qiu Yijia, a newlywed mother in her early thirties who had joined Wang Hao's team when he was filming The Fatal Call, defeated Zhang Shuping and Qiu Weiming (The Grandmaster), who should have won the award in the original time and space, and stepped onto the podium.

Afterwards, the second award that "Gravity" won was Best Cinematography, and this time the one who was squeezed out was Lui Lok from "1942".

The film won two technical awards at the very beginning. The fans who were watching the live broadcast of "Gravity" were naturally very happy. However, some directors and actors at the scene were also smiling happily.

Because the nature of the Golden Rooster Awards is mostly about queuing up to share the cake, since Wang Hao's "Gravity" has already won two awards in the early stage, the probability of winning other important awards in the later stage is greatly reduced.

It's a pity that they ultimately underestimated the cultural significance of "Gravity", a film that shows the development of China's aerospace technology, and also underestimated the influence that Wang Hao has developed over the years.

You should know that his good production network is still expanding, and the number of behind-the-scenes workers under his name has increased dramatically.

Correspondingly, the elite behind-the-scenes workers who were pushed to a higher level and leaned towards the Galaxy Group naturally began to gradually play their roles.

Soon, more important awards began to be announced. The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Yu Min and Liu Xueyao, the Best Supporting Actress was Wang Luodan for "Search", the Best Supporting Actor was Wang Qingxiang for "The Grandmaster", and the Best Actress was Song Jia for "Xiao Hong".

"The winner of the 29th Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor is Zhang Guoli for !"

There was a warm applause in the venue. Zhang Guoli stood up with a smile on his face. Before he could hug Feng Dapao and other crew members around him, the award presenter on the stage called out another name.

"Zhang Hanyu's Gravity!"

boom!
When the third award won by "Gravity" was called out by the presenter, the fans in front of the TV cheered, but many people at the scene were stunned.

Judging from the situation, will "Gravity" become the biggest winner of this year's Golden Rooster Awards?
Zhang Hanyu was stunned at first when he heard the award presenter's shout, looked around in surprise, and then met Wang Hao's affirmative eyes, then he stood up with a smile on his face.

He won the Best Actor Award at the 2008th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards in 29 for his role in "Assembly". Now he has won the Best Actor Award at the Golden Rooster Awards. The title of double actor can be said to be a great plus for his acting career.

Zhang Hanyu and Zhang Guoli greeted each other and walked onto the stage side by side. They each gave their acceptance speeches and expressed their gratitude to Wang Hao and Feng Dapao.

By the time they walked off the stage, only a few final awards were left for this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

"The winner of the 29th Golden Rooster Awards Special Jury Award is Wu Tianming's ""!"

There was a round of applause at the scene. Now there were only two awards left. Wang Hao still had a smile on his face, but his heart was lifted.

Although he is not the kind of person who cares about false reputation, he is still unable to escape the temptation when he is in such a tense moment of competition.

"The nominees for the Best Director Award at the 29th Golden Rooster Awards are——

Wang Jing's "A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart", Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster", Feng Xiaogang's "1942", Chen Kexin's "Chinese Partners", and Wang Hao's "Gravity".

The nominated directors all held their breath, and they all looked intently at the two award presenters on the stage. The two did not keep everyone waiting for long, and opened the envelope in their hands, and read from it:

"The winner of the 29th Golden Rooster Award for Best Director is Wang Hao for Gravity. Congratulations to Director Wang!"

Wow!
The thunderous applause shook the entire venue.
