Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 239: You turned off my microphone?
His speech was not long, but it caused the whole place to fall silent. Everyone could hear that he was targeting Zhang Chen.

He had previously said that "The Shallows" was a popcorn movie, and "The Shallows" has always been criticized for its eroticism.

In the audience, Fan Binbin's face turned blue.

She kept reminding herself to pay attention to her facial expression management, but when it really came to this, she couldn't manage it at all...

Lu Chuan, are you scolding Zhang Chen? You are scolding me, and you are pointing at my nose and scolding me in front of the whole country.

The organizers of the film festival knew something was wrong when they heard Lu Chuan's speech.

What all event organizers hate most is this kind of behavior, bringing personal grudges into the event.

The event is not a place for you to settle personal grudges. Lu Chuan's behavior will greatly lower the quality of the film festival.

On the movie channel, Xiao Chen's voice sounded again: "It's gone up again, it's gone up again..."

Below the stage, Zhang Chen had a blank expression on his face, not looking angry at all. Instead, he was comforting Fan Binbin next to him.

"Okay, both winners, please return to your seats. Now we will begin the announcement of the organizing committee award..."

The host was very flustered and rushed to control the situation, without even thanking someone for sharing.

Thank you sister~
This is already an on-site accident. I will definitely not be asked to host any major film festival next year, all thanks to this guy in front of me.

He now wished he could blast Lu Chuan away.

The award ceremony was still going on, but no one was paying attention anymore.

Even the guests on the scene were whispering and discussing the gossip that had just happened.

It doesn't concern them, so they just stay out of it. They are so happy to be able to watch the show on the spot.

The only one who was anxious was the organizer of the film festival. The assistant came over and asked anxiously, "Boss, the next three awards that are most popular among college students will be given out soon. What should we do?"

Others may not know, but the organizers know that the most popular director and actress among college students are Zhang Chen and Fan Binbin respectively. Fan Binbin is not bad and probably won't say anything outrageous.

But Zhang Chen couldn't be sure.

This guy has a criminal record. He dares to say anything and in any situation.

Lu Chuan confronted him on the spot today, so there is no guarantee that he will not confront him back on the spot.

It would have been fine if he didn't have the chance to go on stage, but he was an award-winning director and had to give a speech.

"Or, we can change the list of winners..." the subordinate suggested.

The director glanced at the assistant next to him. The assistant was feeling smug, thinking he had flattered the right person, but the director suddenly started cursing.

"Do you want to kill me? Use your brain to think about it. What are the last three awards? Those are the most popular awards among college students, which are selected by the college students themselves.

I changed it~ Why should I change it? If I changed it, won’t the university student representatives know about it? When the time comes, who will take the blame, you or me? "

The assistant was speechless and didn't dare to say a word even though the director's spit sprayed all over his face. He knew that he had come up with a bad idea.

Another assistant who was more experienced said: "Boss, how about you just shut up~"

After hearing this, the director thought about it and felt that this suggestion was feasible.

Muting the microphone is a routine operation in this kind of special situation. Once the microphone is muted, the guests won't be able to hear what is said above, and they can then make up an excuse to get away with it, saying it was a technical failure.

"Okay, let's do this. Everyone, get ready. If Zhang Chen says anything inappropriate, turn off the microphone immediately. You are also responsible for monitoring the situation. If there is any situation, notify me immediately~~"

He knew that today's incident was not Zhang Chen's fault, but this was the only way to deal with it.

He is the organizer, not the judge.

It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, just consider what can be done to minimize the adverse effects.

But at this moment, another voice suddenly rang out. It was another staff member: "Director Wang, the movie channel called and said that the ratings just broke 1..."

hiss~
There was a sound of air conditioning in the background.

The ratings of the major film festival exceeded 1, which is the first time in the history of the major film festival.

Is this a blessing in disguise?

But he was afraid that he could not accept such a blessing.

……

On the stage, the regular awards ceremony was coming to an end.

The host has been trying to slow down the pace as much as possible to buy time for the backstage.

Just now, he received the director's instructions and could proceed normally. He immediately said skillfully: "Next, we will present the three most popular awards among college students, which are the biggest feature of the Beijing University Student Film Festival and are completely selected by audience votes..."

The Most Popular College Student Award is entirely determined by audience voting, so there is no shortlist and the host announces the result directly.

"First, the winner of the Most Popular Actor Award among College Students is——"

The host deliberately dragged out the tone before solemnly announcing: "Feng Gong!"

There was a wave of applause and Feng Gong next to Zhang Chen stood up excitedly. This was the second award he had won tonight, the other one being Best Comedy Film.

After hugging and celebrating with Zhang Chen and the surrounding guests, and nodding to Fan Binbin, Feng Gong quickly went up to the podium.

The acceptance speech is naturally to thank this and that...

Feng Gong is a very famous crosstalk artist and he started making movies very early.

"You Can't Eat Hot Tofu in a Hurry" is a light comedy jointly produced by Guangdong Zude Culture and Shanxi Film Studio.

That’s right, it’s Song Quede, the man who is known as ‘Song the Big Mouth’ and has no rivals in scolding everyone in the entertainment industry.

He is not exaggerating when he scolds everyone in the entertainment industry. He has scolded Jingdong Dongge, Uncle Benshan, and Deyun Guo. He is even more rude to Yi Nengjing, calling her 54-year-old Auntie. Yi Nengjing must have vomited blood after hearing that...

This person actually has a master's degree in medicine from Shanghai Medical University and a doctorate in agronomy from Ocean University of China. Can you believe it?

Not only that, he also founded the 'Wanlijian' height-increasing insoles. Does it sound familiar?

Fined by the Industry and Commerce Bureau for false advertising.

"A Quick Trip" is the first film invested by Song Dazui. The quality of the film itself is actually quite good, otherwise it would not have won the award, but the box office was really bad, only 12.

It was from this movie that Song Dazui understood some of the "rules" of the entertainment industry and began to star in his own films.

He played the male lead, and the female leads were Huang Shengyi and Xu Huaiyu.

It's really annoying to the eyes.

In fact, given this guy's shamelessness and good looks, if he develops into a comedy clown, he might be able to make a name for himself.

Apart from anything else, at least he won’t be doing worse than Wang Xun.

After the announcement of the most popular actor, the host continued: "The winner of the Beijing University Student Film Festival's Most Popular Actress Award is -- Fan Binbin!!!"

When the news was announced, Fan Xiaopang burst into tears of joy. It was really her!

This is her first best actress award in the true sense. Although she cannot be called a Best Actress, she won it based on her own strength, not through any behind-the-scenes manipulation like the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and Fan Binbin wiped them away quickly...

Zhang Chen hugged her to celebrate and accepted the congratulations from the people around him. Only then did Fan Binbin walk towards the podium step by step.

On the podium, I received the trophy and certificate, stood in front of the microphone, and tears flowed down my cheeks once again...

"We saw that Ms. Fan Binbin was a little excited and even shed tears. Let's give her some time to calm down..."

The host tried to adjust the atmosphere, but the staff backstage were acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Everyone, pay attention. Follow my instructions. If there is any unexpected situation, turn off the microphone immediately~"

Fan Binbin was also one of the people attacked by Lu Chuan just now. Although everyone speculated that Fan would not do anything extreme, it was hard to guarantee and they had to be prepared.

“Thank you to the audience, without your support, I would not have received this award. Thank you to Director Zhang Chen, without your trust, I would not have received this role.

During the release of The Shallows, I encountered a lot of criticism. Director Zhang comforted me at that time, telling me not to care about outside comments, and that every road to success requires overcoming difficulties.

The Shallows sold very well in China and also did well in the U.S. I think this is the best counterattack. You can’t stand me, but you can’t get rid of me…”

In general, Fan Binbin's speech was quite standard. Although she mentioned what happened just now, she was relatively restrained and would not cause any bad influence immediately. The director team did not turn off her microphone...

But the last one, the Most Popular Director Award, goes to Zhang Chen, which is hard to say.

The host received instructions from the director team to make a quick decision.

So after Fan Binbin finished his speech, he was immediately asked to return to his original seat to continue announcing the last award.

"Next is the last award of this film festival, the Most Popular Director Award for College Students. The winner is Zhang Chen for "The Shallows" and "The Dark Side."

There is actually no suspense about this award, it is well deserved.

Everyone guessed that the winner must be Zhang Chen.

After all, he is too young, and the two movies have a huge influence among young people.

Under the spotlight, Zhang Chen stood up and walked calmly towards the podium.

He took the trophy and certificate, stood in front of the microphone, but did not speak immediately.

He looked around and the venue gradually became quiet. Everyone guessed what he was going to do and was looking forward to it.

Backstage, all the staff were facing a serious enemy.

The director's hand was already raised in the air, ready to turn off the microphone if something went wrong.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Chen said, "Thank you to the college students for your support and love. Without you, I don't think I would have won this award."

Director team, um, everything is normal at the moment, continue to observe.

"I also thought about what I would say if I won this award, and why I won this award.
Later I understood.

I am a college student myself, and I am the one who understands them best. We are of the same age and have the same hobbies. If I make a movie that I like to watch, then that will be the movie they like to watch.

It’s so easy.”

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, although it was not the response they expected, the guests still smiled unconsciously. They were all infected by the confidence in Zhang Chen's words.

"Director, the ratings have broken 1.1..."

Backstage, a voice appeared and scared the director so much that he almost turned off his microphone.

When he finally reacted, he angrily blamed: "Fuck, are you a pig? If I was holding a nuclear bomb button, the world would be destroyed right now."

The assistant was so angry that she didn't dare to talk back. She could only mutter, "You said I would let you know if anything happened~"

On the stage, Zhang Chen was still talking: "The Shallows is a work that I have poured my heart and soul into. I said it is about youth and vitality, but some people think it is about eroticism and temptation.

Director Lu Chuan just said..."

Hearing the name "Lu Chuan", the director immediately waved his hand decisively and turned off the microphone.

Zhang Chen was speaking excitedly when he suddenly realized that there was no sound from the microphone.

At the same time, the guests below also looked around.

Zhang Chen tried a few more times, but still no sound.

He looked at the host next to him, who immediately said, "It may be a technical failure. How about we just..."

He had just received the notice and was thinking of an excuse to end his speech when he suddenly felt his hands were empty.

When he reacted, he found that his microphone was already in Zhang Chen's hands.

Zhang Chen tested the sound and found that the host's microphone was intact. This is interesting~
This was obviously done intentionally by the organizer. Why didn't they allow me to speak?

In just a moment he understood everything, but he was not ready to compromise.

The director team backstage also noticed the situation on stage. Someone was asking whether they should turn off the host's microphone, but Zhang Chen suddenly spoke up.

“My microphone malfunctioned, I believe it was a technical issue.

But if the host's microphone also malfunctions in my hands, I can only understand it as a deliberate targeting.

If this really happens, then I have to announce with regret that from now on, I, Xingchen Entertainment, and all the actors who work with us will no longer participate in the Beijing University Student Film Festival. I said..."

Zhang Chen's words were so powerful that the director's hand, which was about to swing down, froze in place.

This……

He didn't dare to make this decision, nor could he make it...

He cannot take the blame for causing a director to ban a film festival.

Think about the ratings that just broke 1.1...

Zhang Chen saw that the microphone was intact and nodded with satisfaction: "Let me continue with the previous topic. Director Lu Chuan said that every time he made a movie, he would touch his conscience and tell himself to tell a good story. What I want to say is that I am the same.

But I have a little more than him, and I will tell my conscience not to plagiarize..."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked straight at Lu Chuan in the audience.

The guests followed his gaze and looked at Lu Chuan. At this moment, Lord Dalang's face turned as purple as liver, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

That’s not all. This time, Zhang Chen said to the program team: “By the way, I would also like to remind the organizing committee of the film festival that in the future, films like “Kekexili” that are suspected of plagiarism should be carefully considered by the organizing committee, as this will easily lower the level of the film festival.”

……

Somewhere in Beijing, Lu Tianming, who was watching the live broadcast, sighed heavily, with a tone of anger: "I told you not to provoke Zhang Chen, don't provoke Zhang Chen, if you can't beat him, just stay away, but you didn't listen, and now..."
