This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 749 Sword Rain (asking for monthly ticket)

After the Best Actor award, there are two more major awards.

One is for Best Director and the other is for Best Feature Film.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should all belong to Li An...

But the problem is that if nothing unexpected happens, how could Hao Yun, a man who won't take action until he sees the rabbit, be the first to take action?

Although it may seem risky to be the first to step out, the actual connections required are extremely terrifying.

Xi'an Film Studio couldn't find out, or didn't want to go to the trouble of trying.

The awards were presented by Li Xing and...An Xiaoxi.

An Xiaoxi was not nominated for any awards, but the dramas she starred in, "Little Forest" and "Tracking", both received many nominations, so it was natural for her to participate.

Such a popular figure cannot be left idle.

It's no big deal to give out an award.

Nominees for Best Director are Li An, Hao Yun, Jiang Wen and Li Yang.

This year's Hong Kong and Taiwan films are indeed very mediocre, which can be seen from the nominations. If "The Ring" had not shamelessly been nominated for 11 awards, the two awards combined would not even account for half.

Three mainland directors competed against one Taiwanese director for the best director award.

Bowing to domestic entertainment will make you look very low.

Jiang Wen laughed at Li An. Was Li An a fool? He was not stupid at all. Instead, he was an extremely shrewd person.

But he had no choice.

The more this time comes, the more he cannot give all the awards to "The Ring", otherwise the Golden Horse Awards will really become Li An's alone.

If that happens, the Golden Horse Awards will come to an end.

However, the funny thing is that he doesn't know who else to give these awards to if not "The Ring".

There is no other comparable movie in Taiwan except "The Ring".

In Hong Kong, Du Qifeng's new film "Tracking" was a bit too commercial. After inviting An Xiaoxi to star in it, the box office in both mainland China and Hong Kong was very good, and the remake rights were even bought by Bangbang.

Bangbang has been arguing for more than a month just to choose an actress who is better than An Xiaoxi.

Bangbang has no shortage of top actresses, but it's hard to find someone like An Xiaoxi who is only 20 years old, has good acting skills, and looks good even when wearing a sack and without makeup.

An Xiaoxi appears almost without makeup, so it's difficult to make Bangbang's makeup too delicate.

Otherwise, people will say that I won the award by wearing makeup... that's not decent enough.

Apart from "Tracking", there is "The Disciples", but the Golden Horse Awards have always been distinguished from the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the home court of "The Disciples" is definitely the Hong Kong Film Awards [Note 1].

Therefore, this year's Golden Horse Awards saw numerous nominations for works from mainland China.

Now even an award like Best Director, which is rarely won by mainland China, has three-quarters of the nominations.

Taiwanese filmmakers feel extremely sad.

Good thing...

There is no problem for Li An to win the Best Director award. If we were a little more shameless, it would be even more perfect if Li An also won the Best Feature Film award.

She won a Best Actress award and half a Best Actor award in the mainland.

The Best Adapted Screenplay went to a mainland film, but the Best Original Screenplay was not. At least Taiwan's local films did not lose at the Golden Horse Awards.

"Miss An, please make the announcement." Li Xing was born in 1930 and is already 77 years old. After taking a look at the result, he smiled and stepped aside.

He has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture nine times and the Golden Horse Award for Best Director three times. He is a true master in Taiwan.

Another legendary thing is that his father lived to be 95 years old, and his mother also lived to be 95 years old.

Many people think that he can live to 95 years old.

Although he is in his seventies or eighties now, he is still in good health. Last year, when something stupid happened at the Golden Horse Awards, he was asked to help clean up the mess.

However, he didn't know what kind of deal Li An and Hao Yun had made.

So I found it quite magical to see Hao Yun surpass Li An to win the Best Director award.

"The winner of the 44th Golden Horse Film Awards, Best Director Award, is Hao Yun. Congratulations!"

An Xiaoxi was so happy that it was Hao Yun who won the award that her baby voice even started to rise.

There was a good-natured laugh as the audience applauded.

As to whether Hao Yun is qualified to win the Best Director award over Li An, there is actually no definitive answer to this question.

"The Ring" won the Venice Golden Lion, and "Bullfight" also won the Jury Award at Cannes.

Among the three major film festivals, Venice ranks last.

Li An's directing has reached the pinnacle, but Hao Yun's performance is also remarkable.

What's more, Hao Yun is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Age is not a reason to win an award, but the Golden Horse Awards talks about supporting newcomers every year, so it can’t be just empty talk.

One is a humorous anti-Japanese war, the other is to defend traitors. Why is "Bullfighting" worse than "The Ring"?

If you say Tang Wei took it off, then the cow didn't wear anything either.

At least the cow saved the wounded, which is much better than Tang Wei.

Therefore, most of the people who applauded at the scene were sincere, especially those from the mainland. Even Wang Quanan and Li Yang, who were eliminated, had happy expressions on their faces.

They don't think they are worse than Hao Yun, but they have never thought that they can win the award better than Li An.

It doesn’t matter whether I win the award or not. It’s a great relief that Li An didn’t win it!
Hao Yun stood up and bowed to everyone around him. There was an empty seat next to him. The person who was originally sitting there went upstairs to receive the award.

At this moment, he was waiting for him with the trophy.

An Xiaoxi is like the father of the trophy, holding his daughter's hand and waiting for the groom.

Hao Yun quickly walked onto the stage, shook hands with director Li Xing, then took the trophy from An Xiaoxi, hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.

There was nothing I could do, I was just too excited. The audience couldn't hold back when they saw this scene.

Ugh, gross!

However, Hao Yun didn't think so at all. The deal between him and Li An was that he would get one of the two grand prizes.

He also didn't expect that Li An would be so single-minded in giving the Best Director award.

These things are usually his private property.

He could lose the Best Actor and Best Actress awards, after all, other people won the awards, but the Best Director award went to Li An.

"Thank you, thank you Director Li Xing, thank you my old classmate An Xiaoxi, and thank you my old classmate Huang Bo..."

The audience responded with contemptuous looks.

They are old classmates, and I don’t believe that Huang Bo and An Xiaoxi are the same.

If you have the guts, take a bite of Huang Bo, instead of just making the girl drool on her face.

"When I was filming Bullfight, I was full of energy. I was thinking about how to shoot anti-Japanese films and TV series, which should not only achieve the purpose of remembering history, but also alert people today, and make more people willing to go to the cinema..."

Hao Yunxian spoke about the filming of the movie and talked about the anti-Japanese war without hesitation on the Golden Horse Awards stage.

He didn't talk for long though.

If you talk too much, it will seem like an exaggeration. He knows very well that too much is as bad as too little.

When you reach Hao Yun’s position, you have to find a balance in everything. Only by controlling the balance can you move forward better.

The higher you go, the louder the sound is and the more people can hear it.

After giving their acceptance speeches, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi returned to their seats.

The next best feature film award is naturally Li An’s “The Ring”, and he will definitely win such a big award.

Best Feature Film is the nominal top prize.

Li An gave up the Best Director award in order to save the last bit of dignity of the Golden Horse Awards.

In a sense, he did a good job.

"The Ring" was nominated for 11 awards and won 6 major awards including Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best New Actor, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, and Best Visual Effects. In addition, Li An also won Outstanding Filmmaker of the Year, which makes a total of 7 awards.

In addition, Jay Chou also won two awards, namely Best Original Film Song and Outstanding Film of the Year. Taiwanese films at least held their ground.

Hao Yun received three sets of trophies and certificates.

Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Film Score.

There is also the Best Art Design award, but it has nothing to do with Hao Yun.

Plus Huang Bo's Best Actor award...

"Bullfighting" and "Little Forest" won five awards, including major awards such as Best Director and Best Actor.

The mainland also reaped great rewards. It feels like we haven’t had such a big harvest for a long time.

There will be a celebration banquet and media interviews after the award ceremony.

Hao Yun won the Best Director award and Huang Bo won the Best Actor award, and both were the targets of media attention.

"I didn't expect to win the Best Director award," Hao Yun said hypocritically, "I think the Golden Horse Awards are becoming more and more fair. I hope the Golden Horse Awards will get better and better and become the highest celebration of Chinese-language films..."

Because you won the Best Director award, you feel that the Golden Horse Awards are becoming more and more fair.

Why does it feel wrong?

Hao Yun looked innocent. I won the Golden Horse Award, so shouldn’t I speak well of the award?

Huang Bo had returned to normal when he was interviewed.

However, when he responded to the media, he did not give up talking about his friendship with Hao Yun and Wang Shunliu, who had shared weal and woe.

When I was eighteen, at my alma mater dance, I stood like a lackey. At that time, I swore with tears in my eyes, that you must see me...

After finishing the interview and the celebration party, Hao Yun returned to the hotel and opened the treasure chest.

Three certificates are issued together.

Oh, so delicious~

[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure chest (medium quality), and obtaining lyrics +6 (permanent), music "Future Funk". ]

A piece of pure music, but I don’t know if it is suitable for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Hao Yun has been thinking about this matter.

But he always felt that the soundtrack he made for "The Sun Also Rises" seemed more suitable for "Let the Bullets Fly", a perfect fit.

Hao Yun opened the diary he brought in the suitcase.

I found this story a bit...

Well, how should I put it.

He was just one person, he had no Jiji, but for Jiji he created a bloody storm in the world.

[Note 1] "The Ring" received 11 nominations at the Golden Horse Awards, and "Protégé" received 15 nominations at the Hong Kong Film Awards, each one more outrageous than the last.

[Note 2] I don’t know when this book will be completed. I want to write it, so I don’t care about the other things.
