Chapter 684 Chapter 683, Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony Golden Rooster Grand Slam

Backstage at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony

Jiang Feng, Yu Feihong, Zhao Laonian and others had just walked across the red carpet when they ran into the "Big Shot" crew who were waiting for them.

Fan Jiuyi, who was elegantly dressed, bowed slightly and took the lead in greeting: "Hello, Brother Feng!"

Then, she smiled and praised Yu Feihong's beautiful red evening dress. At the same time, she left the "Big Shot" crew without leaving a trace and stood in the middle of the "Big Shot" crew and the "Nobody" crew.

The meaning is very clear. Although I made a guest appearance in "Big Shot", it was Jiang Feng who recruited me at that time.

Everyone present was a shrewd person and could see through Fan Jiuyi's purpose. Wang Zongjun's eyes twitched slightly and he wanted to say something, but felt he had nothing to say.

Jiang Feng was very satisfied with this.

The boss and the benefactor bumped into each other. Although Fan Jiuyi's behavior was a bit "low EQ", it was a manifestation of "not forgetting the kindness".

Jiang Feng really admires such people!
The two old foxes, Ge You and Ying Da, pretended not to see anything. Wang Jinghua, who was more tactful and afraid that Fan Jiuyi would anger Boss Wang because of this, quickly came in to smooth things over.

"I don't need to introduce Teacher Ge and Teacher Yingda, but Mr. Wang, Jiang Feng, this should be your first time meeting you."

"Indeed, we have had business contacts before. For example, when we were filming the movie "Big Shot", it was usually Mr. Wang and Director Jiang Feng who contacted each other. It is indeed the first time for Mr. Wang." Ge You knows how to behave. He did not show up when Wang Zongjun was embarrassed. Now that he wanted to introduce Jiang Feng and Wang Zongjun to each other, he immediately and happily acted as the introducer.

"When we were filming the movie 'Big Shot', Zong Lei said that Director Jiang Feng was dignified and talented. It is indeed true when I met him today!" said Wang Zongjun.

"You are too flattering. I often hear Sister Hua talk about your maturity and prudentness. I will learn more from you in the future." Jiang Feng said.

"Everywhere, learn from each other."

The two of them boasted about business to each other and had a very pleasant conversation. They also made an appointment to have dinner and exchanged a few pleasantries before quickly parting ways.

Jiang Feng, with a bright smile on his face, returned to normal as soon as he turned around. After they walked away, he quietly complained to Yu Feihong and Fan Jiuyi who followed him.

"Wang Zongjun is much better than his brother. Little Wang has a smile on his face, but he can't hide the arrogance of a young man from a wealthy family. In comparison, the older brother is much more experienced."

Fan Jiuyi, who has been at Huayi Media for two years, nodded and took the initiative to reveal: "Indeed, although Xiao Wang handles many things at Huayi and is known for being versatile, those who know the inside story know that Da Wang is the boss of Huayi, and the two brothers are one general and one commander."

On the other side, Wang Zongjun left Jiang Feng and Wang Jinghua, put away his smile, and tactfully went to reminisce with his acquaintances, leaving his old friend Ge You to ask with a smile.

"Boss Wang, what do you think of Jiang Feng?"

"Um…"

Wang Zongjun thought for a moment and said, "I haven't figured out how deep he is, but it's obvious that he's very cunning. Young people are to be feared. When I was his age, I was still washing dishes for others in the United States with my brother Zong Lei."

"Boss Wang, to be honest, my intuition shows that the reason why there was an accident at this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was actually caused by this guy.

But it is just so magical that now, basically everyone thinks that Xiao Gang is the mastermind behind the scenes. Haha, this shows how deep Jiang Feng's mind and skills are. "Ge You added a cold knife.

Among the bosses in the film and television industry in Beijing, more than 90% of them relied on their parents to build their fortunes. The same is true for the Wang brothers. Without the connections left by their parents, the Huayi brothers would not have been able to get to where they are today, whether in terms of the first pot of gold or other aspects.

As a friend, Ge You couldn't help but advise: "Boss Wang, don't offend this kind of person if you can make friends with him. After all, the mainland entertainment industry is so big that there is enough for everyone to eat."

"I know."

Wang Zongjun did not comment on this.

Jiang Feng developed rapidly. Three years ago, Huayi Brothers extended an olive branch to him, hoping that this young talent could join the team like Feng Xiaogang, and then everyone could create brilliance together.

But who would have thought that in just three short years, Jiang Feng had already taken a path that was completely different from other domestic directors.

Jiang Feng set up his own studio and then used the studio's name to cooperate with film and television companies such as China Film Group, Edko Films, Miramax Films, Lionsgate, and Shochiku Films.

I have a project in my studio. I want a certain budget and you can all invest. But no matter how much you invest, as the screenwriter and director, I will get 15% of the total box office, and my team will get 7%.

At first, Wang Zongjun thought Jiang Feng's offer was nonsense. You and your team don't invest and don't take any risks, but you can get 22% of the total box office of the entire movie, while the movie investors, cinemas, and film distributors together only get 78%...

However, the reality is so slapping. Even though the conditions are so harsh, film and television companies are flocking to participate in the Jiang Feng Film Studio project.

Of course, Wang Zongjun is not afraid of these.

Just like Ge You said, the mainland entertainment industry is big enough. You make your money, we make our money, and we don't interfere with each other.

However, two days ago, there was a piece of news that made Wang Zongjun sleepless.

Feng Xiaogang actually plans to set up his own film studio. The next step is to completely imitate Jiang Feng's operation. I don't belong to any company. I only work for myself.

As long as my movies keep making money, you guys will definitely come and flatter me.

Eh…

At this stage, Huayi Brothers Media Company is entirely supported by Feng Xiaogang. If this pillar is gone, even if the sky doesn't fall, it will be seriously damaged.

This meeting today shocked Wang Zongjun greatly. He remained silent for a long time before he mentioned it to Ge You.

"Huayi Brothers is going to set up its own cinema chain!"

Not to mention how Wang Zongjun worked hard to improve himself, on the other hand, Jiang Feng took Yu Feihong and Fan Jiuyi to meet the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards and related industry seniors.

You read it right, Jiang Feng went to visit the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards.

Jiang Feng believed that this was what a mature man did.

Although I stabbed you in the back, on the surface, I am still a humble and polite junior. We can talk, laugh, and get together for a drink if we want.

If the feelings are too deep to be expressed over one drink, then we can schedule two or three drinks until we can fully express our feelings.

But Jiang Feng's actions made the judges a little confused. Was it you who was behind this? !
If it wasn't you, why did Feng Xiaogang come over and complain, saying that he was just sitting at home and the pot came from the sky? !
Feng Xiaogang also swore in public that if he did it, he would be hit by a car and killed as soon as he left the Wuxi People's Hall.

But if it was you, Jiang Feng..., it doesn't seem likely, because your image, the expression on your face when you speak, and your frankness, don't seem to be associated with the word "sinister" at all.

...

After walking around in front of the old seniors, Jiang Feng was just about to find a place to sit down when a beautiful woman came over.

"Feihong, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Sister Ni Ping, congratulations on being nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress."

"Being nominated is not like winning an award. I'm mentally prepared to be a runner-up." Ni Ping, a famous host of the national television station, was reminiscing about the past with Yu Feihong, but her eyes could not stop looking at Jiang Feng. When she saw him looking at her, she quickly extended her hand.

"Hello Jiang Feng, although you have participated in several Spring Festival Galas before, and I hosted these Spring Festival Galas, we haven't had much contact with each other."

"Well, yes!" Jiang Feng smiled and shook hands with her.

"Sister Ni Ping, I counted carefully on my fingers. In the past few years, we have said a total of seven sentences to each other, and all of them were said on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala."

"Oh, really?" Ni Ping was curious.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng remembered it so accurately.

"Of course!

Sister Ni Ping, you should know that you are my eternal goddess in my heart. "

"Hahaha…"

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Ni Ping and Yu Feihong burst into laughter at the same time.

However, as he laughed, Ni Ping suddenly lowered his voice.

"Director Jiang Feng, thank you. I came here today just to say thank you."

"Um..., where does Xie come from?"

Jiang Feng was a little confused.

We only said 7 sentences in total, and you actually told me that you wanted to thank me.

"Well, I don't mean anything special. I just want to thank you for helping me vent my anger. In August and September of this year, people kept throwing gasoline bottles at that shameless guy's house."

Shameless guy...

The first person Jiang Feng thought of was the self-important Old Chen, because Old Chen was really not very decent in some things.

When her father passed away, Ni Ping was the one who took care of everything and then helped to observe the mourning period. But just as Ni Ping took off her mourning hat, a woman with a big belly found her.

"Ni Ping, Kaige and I are together. Please respect our love and move out of his house immediately."

However, sympathy is sympathy, separation is separation, but there are some things that Jiang Feng still has to make clear.

The incident of throwing a gasoline bottle at director Kai Ge's house in Maoer Hutong, Nanluoguxiang has nothing to do with me. You know, I also live there.

But before Jiang Feng could speak, Ni Ping stood up and left. As she left, she kept looking back and giving thumbs up.

Looking at her leaving back, Jiang Feng was just about to ask Yu Feihong beside him, "Are you two familiar with each other?"

At this time, the 22nd Golden Rooster Awards ceremony officially began.

The opening song and dance show invited several singers to sing folk songs, and they sang quite well, but it was difficult for a show like this to attract high ratings. Jiang Feng could clearly see that the camera kept scanning down, pointing at the guests to keep them.

Like previous years, this year's Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards were presented together. Since 05, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards have been held alternately, once a year, in a two-year cycle.

The Golden Rooster Awards are held in odd-numbered years, namely 2005 and 2007, and the Hundred Flowers Awards are held in even-numbered years, namely 2006 and 2008, and so on, and will remain so until 2028.

However, this way of awarding awards and extending the film award-winning cycle are also important reasons why the Golden Rooster Awards have always lagged behind the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan and the Golden Image Awards in Hong Kong in terms of value and influence.

Of course, there have been rumors in later generations that the two awards should be combined and awarded in the same year, or simply separated and awarded separately each year.

However, although the rumors were in full swing, there has been no action, which has wasted the great opportunity of the Golden Horse Awards and is still lukewarm.

But no matter what, as one of the three major Chinese-language film awards and two of the three major film awards in mainland China, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards still hold great weight in the hearts of filmmakers.

Especially now that it is 2002, the halo of the Golden Rooster Award is no less than that of the Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards in the eyes of mainland filmmakers, and is the highest honor for mainland filmmakers.

Since two awards were presented together and there were also several performance items, the progress was still very fast.

The first award to be presented was the Golden Rooster Award, which was hosted by Zhu Jun, a host of national television programs. In just half an hour, six or seven awards were presented.

Among them, the best supporting actor and actress awards are worth noting. The best supporting actor award goes to Wang Zhiwen in "Together with You" and Liu Mu in "The Nobodies", while the best supporting actress award goes to Yuan Quan in "Beautiful Big Feet" and Li Lianhua in "The Nobodies".

The reason why these two awards attracted attention is because of their importance. In a sense, the actors who won the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress can also be called the Best Actor and Best Actress.

The second reason is that the winners of these two awards are basically the same as predicted in that prediction list. The Best Supporting Actor is Wang Zhiwen and the Best Supporting Actress is Yuan Quan. The reason why it is basically because Liu Mu and Li Lianhua were added to the winners of the Best Supporting Actor and Actress respectively.

Li Lianhua and Liu Mu did not come, they went to South Korea.

So, producer Li Xing went on stage to accept the award on their behalf, and it was very appropriate for the younger sister to go on stage to accept the award on behalf of the older sister.

[Best Director] was awarded to Seif and Melis from "Heavenly Prairie". When this award was announced, there was an uproar in the audience and guest seats.

Whether it is Jiang Feng, Yang Yazhou, Chen Kaige, or Feng Xiaogang, they can all crush Sev and Melissa in terms of fame.

But the award ceremony organizing committee is so stubborn. In order to avoid suspicion, I won’t give anything to any of you.

After [Best Director], it’s the most anticipated Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor and Best Actress.

The first award was presented to Best Actress. Several senior colleagues came on stage and chatted for a while. One of them opened the letter, took a look at it, and leaned over to the microphone.

"Beautiful Big Feet by Ni Ping, and Nobody by Yu Feihong!"

Double yolk eggs!
There was a slight commotion at the scene. Although everyone knew that the Best Actress award would go to a double yolk egg, no one expected that Tao Hong from "Life Show" would be taken down and replaced directly by Yu Feihong from "The Unknown".

Yu Feihong was very happy. He stood up from the chair and looked at Jiang Feng with open arms. His meaning was very clear: Come on, give me a hug to celebrate winning the award!
Jiang Feng never wanted to disappoint his women. With a smile on his face, he stood up and hugged Yu Feihong.

"Sister Feihong, congratulations!" Jiang Feng whispered in her ear.

"Thank you, my little man!" Yu Feihong stood on tiptoe and whispered.

Yu Feihong and Ni Ping went on stage to receive the awards. Their speeches were very brief, simply thanking their parents, the director, the crew and the audience. After they finished their words of thanks, they quickly left the stage.

And when they come down, the Golden Rooster Award winner will also reveal the answer!

The award presenters are Song Chunli and two other film professionals. They usually chat and then the most famous Song Chunli opens the envelope containing the answer.

"The winners are Ge You from "Big Shot" and Zhao Laonian from "Nobody"..."

Before the award presenter Song Chunli finished her speech, Zhao Laonian stood up from his chair, clenched his fists, and whispered something.

"Fuck, Jiang Feng, awesome!"
