Chapter 237 Teacher Fu, I’ve got your movie covered
The awards ceremony is scheduled to start at 7:30 in the evening. There is still some time, and many people are walking around to make connections.
Zhang Chen has a lot of people here, but they all come to say hello and look familiar, and they don't talk too much.
In his free time, Zhang Chen chatted with Feng Gong.
Celebrities walking on the red carpet came in one after another. Cheng Long was the last one to come in. He was the biggest celebrity, so the organizer arranged for him to be last.
At this time, the infield of the Olympic Sports Center was already more than half full, the host came on stage, and the awards ceremony was about to begin.
Fan Binbin also returned to his seat, which should be a fruitful experience.
As the host came on stage, the venue gradually became quiet, and everyone began to pay attention to their appearance. After all, they are public figures. If they are caught in a bad shot, it will damage their personal image.
As for building relationships, there is a reception after the awards ceremony. That is the best time to build relationships.
Zhang Chen sat on his seat and tried to be as straight as possible.
Taking a peek at Fan Binbin next to him, his sitting posture was simply rehearsed. It looked good from every aspect.
When everyone was seated, the lights in the venue changed, then the big screen lit up, the host walked to the center of the stage, and the awards ceremony officially began.
The usual opening remarks were followed by speeches by leaders and speeches by university student representatives. In short, they hoped that China’s film industry would get better and better...
Then, the awards ceremony finally began.
“The winners of the Best Newcomer Award are: Yangzi’s “Blue Flower” and Feng Jiaqi’s “The Story of Dunzi”!”
"The winners of the Best Child Actor Award are: Wang Zhengjia's "Once Upon a Time in the Movies" and Wu Xu's "On the Road to School"!"
"The winners of the Art Exploration Award are: "My Heart Is Flying""
"The winner of the Best Visual Effects Award is: "A World Without Thieves""
It is similar to a normal awards ceremony. Some of the less important awards are presented first to warm up the atmosphere.
"A World Without Thieves" also won the first award.
Watching Feng Xiaogang go on stage to receive the award, Zhang Chen was thinking about what he would say if he won the award later, and he was a little lost. It was really a worry about happiness~
Fan Binbin noticed Zhang Chen's expression and kicked it gently. His feet: "Be careful to control your expression, be careful not to be caught by the camera..."
Zhang Chen quickly sat upright.
Fan Binbin is still very experienced.
The award ceremony, if it doesn’t involve myself, actually goes very quickly.
Think about it, for every award, the presenter comes up and talks nonsense, then the organizer plays the list of nominees, and then the presenter reveals the answer.
How many minutes will this take?
Of course, it’s different if it involves you. Just the time between the announcement of the shortlist and the reveal of the answer will make people feel like they are passing by.
With the awarding of awards one by one, the awards ceremony is already halfway through.
The next thing to be awarded is the Best Virgo Award. Zhang Chen straightened his body. Every director can only win the Best Virgo Award once in his life. If you miss it, you will miss it forever.
Zhang Chen happened to be shortlisted for this award for "Dark Invasion", which is also the award he is most certain to win.
The awarding guests were actually Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guoli.
Playing starts on the big screen:
The nominees for the Best Debut Film Award are:
"On the Road to School"
"Waiting Alone"
"Dark Invasion"
Feng Xiaogang smiled, as if watching a show.
“Every director can only win the best debut film once. If you don’t win it, you will miss it forever.”
“Yes, this award is the greatest affirmation for all new directors. I wonder who will win this time?”
"Then let's open the envelope and take a look together..."
After speaking, Zhang Guoli picked up the envelope from the table with a smile and opened it...
"Hey, this director is incredible. , it's a new director, not a new director..."
"Who is it?"
The two played a double act on the stage, as if they were not in any hurry, and Zhang Chen was He was so anxious that it made all the guests below smile.
Close-ups of the expressions of the three finalists appeared on the big screen. The first two were relatively calm, but Zhang Chen's expression was a little urgent.
Of course he did it on purpose, otherwise what would be the point of everyone being as stable as Mount Tai.
One of Zhang Chen’s current main character designs is true temperament~
It is true temperament to fight with others and show off his true temperament when he wants to...
“ Okay, let’s stop talking. The look in your eyes is wrong. Xiaogang, it’s better for you to make the announcement. You are the director, so it makes more sense for you to make the announcement..."
Zhang Guoli said and handed over the list. Feng Xiaogang took it, took a look at it, and then announced with a smile: "The winner of the Best Debut Award at this Beijing University Student Film Festival is... Zhang Chen, congratulations..."
As he made his announcement, a clip from the "Dark Invasion" movie began to play on the central screen.
The spotlight gathered in an instant and shone on Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen stood up with a smile.
"Congratulations~" Fan Binbin next to him gave him a hug of love in a timely manner, and Zhang Chen hugged Teacher Feng Gong next to him before leaving his seat and walking along the aisle towards the podium.
There was applause from all around, and everyone suddenly realized. No wonder Zhang Guoli said just now that this person is a new director, not a new director.
When he filmed "Dark Invasion", he was indeed a new director, but now, he is one of the only four directors in the country with a millionaire.
Zhang Chen walked onto the podium, and applause rang out again.
Amidst the applause, Feng Xiaogang handed over the trophy with a smile. Zhang Chen did not accept it, but pretended to solemnly adjust his clothes before accepting the trophy, which caused a burst of laughter again.
Don’t mention it, this trophy is quite heavy, and it feels heavy in your hand.
Zhang Guoli continued to hand over the certificate, and Zhang Chen held it in his arms, full of joy.
The two hugged him one by one to show encouragement, and then gave up the stage.
After the two came off the stage, Zhang Chen stood in front of the microphone.
The host controlled the scene: "Director Zhang, your debut film has special meaning for every director. Can you tell everyone and the audience in front of the TV about your original intention of creating it at the time and what you are doing now? What do you think?”
After waiting for a few seconds, Zhang Chen suddenly took out a stack of speech manuscripts from his pocket, pretending to be in a hurry, and took off one end of the speech manuscript, page by page. Together they were dragged to the ground.
The crowd below was amused again.
"Haha, just kidding, I just want to tell everyone that I make horror movies, but I am actually quite cheerful."
At this time, someone below couldn't help laughing. , and then the laughter was infectious, and more people laughed.
Only Lu Chuan looked livid. When the shortlist was announced, he was praying that the judges of the Grand Film Festival would never award this award to Zhang Chen. In his opinion, it could be given to anyone, as long as it was not Just Zhang Chen.
But God didn’t seem to hear his prayer, Zhang Chen still won the award.
In front of the microphone, Zhang Chen began to give a speech: "First of all, I would like to thank the judges of the organizing committee for awarding this award to me. Some people may think that with my current achievements, I should not compete with new directors for the debut film award.
But I want to say that when I filmed "Dark Invasion", I was also a newcomer with no resources.
So I am very grateful to Nortel, which always treats its students. Give as much help as possible. "Dark Invasion" was filmed in the studio of Qingying Film Studio.
At the same time, I would also like to thank my classmates, who all have a sincere heart for the film. , the behind-the-scenes work of this film was basically all done with the help of my seniors at school.
In addition, I would also like to thank one person, my class teacher, Mr. Fu Donglai, for preparing the film. During this period, it was Teacher Fu who accompanied me everywhere, helped me negotiate distribution, helped me make appointments with actors, and helped me coordinate various resources...
Originally, the producer of this film should have signed his name, but he told me that you newcomers need fame the most, so he signed my name.
Today’s award is an affirmation of me and the teacher’s teaching achievements.
Without him, there would be no Zhang Chen today.
There is something I have always wanted to say to you: Teacher Fu, I know you also have a dream of being a director. Every time I ask you, you always say wait, wait...
Here I promise that you can choose any script from Xingchen Entertainment, or you can have your own script, and Xingchen Entertainment will be responsible for the investment. You will help your children realize their dreams, and your children will also help you realize your dreams...
Okay, let me just say this. Besides, it’s time to time out. Thank you again to all the judges of the organizing committee for awarding this award to me. Thank you..."
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he stepped off the stage, and the audience applauded for a long time. Everyone could tell that Zhang Chen was telling the truth, so this true feeling was even more rare.
The host waited for more than a minute before gradually becoming quiet: "From what Director Zhang Chen said. We felt the sincerity of Chinese filmmakers and truly realized the importance of passing on the legacy from generation to generation. Thanks again to Director Zhang for sharing. ”
Many people in the audience looked at Zhang Chen differently.
Before, no one knew who Fu Donglai was from Nortel’s directing department, but now, everyone Everyone knows that he has a good student, and this student wants to help him realize his dream
Many people envy Teacher Zhang Chen's good luck.
In the film industry, there are too few film projects that can successfully complete the entire life cycle.
Most projects die in the preparation stage, and not even half of them are actually completed.
Even if they are filmed, many of them will not make it to theaters.
It can be said that if a movie can be released in theaters, no matter how good it is at the box office, it has already defeated 90% of its opponents.
But Zhang Chen said that Xingchen Entertainment would be solely responsible for Fu Donglai’s movies.
That means you just have to shoot, and you don’t have to worry about anything else. For a director, what could be more satisfying than this?
Zhang Chen returned to his seat, and Fan Binbin came over: "That's so good."
Zhang Chen was a little nervous at this time, and accidentally said what was in his heart.
Originally, the persona I set for myself was to have a true temperament, but I didn’t expect that I would actually have a true temperament.
The awards ceremony continued, and as expected, Feng Gong's "I Can't Eat Hot Tofu" next to him won the Best Comedy Award.
Zhang Chen stood up, hugged and sent blessings.
Zhang Jingchu won the best actress for "The Flowery Bride", and Xia Yu won the best actor for "Waiting Alone".
As expected of a major film festival, the whole atmosphere is very relaxed.
When Xia Yu accepted the award, he also joked with Cheng Long sitting in the front row: "It may be mainly because my films are more relevant to college students! So I'm sorry, Jackie Chan, and I will continue to work hard." ”
Cheng Long could only smile bitterly. His "New Police Story" was also one of the shortlisted films, but he did not expect to lose to Xia Yu in the end.
