Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 140 What is the difference between having two best films and having two champions?
As Wen Mu has just become an outstanding young director in China, he is now in urgent need of continuing to make some new achievements.

Although there are many outstanding young actors and actresses in China, there are also many movie kings.

But no matter who you look for, none of them are as popular as Zhou Le on the Internet now.

Film awards require comprehensive consideration of factors, and popularity + acting skills are invincible.

This formula can be applied to any film.

Xu Zheng was unhappy: "My performance is not bad either. Come to my place and I will find you some more beautiful actresses to act with."

Ning Hao actually wanted to fight for it, after all, he and Zhou Le were from the same hometown.

But then he thought again, the theme of his film was "Hello BJ", and the male lead had already been decided to be Ge You. After all, the director was Chen Kaige, and they were all from the same batch, so he couldn't replace Ge You.

But it would be a loss to let Zhou Le play other roles.

Finally, I could only say: "You guys chat, I don't care."

Wen Mu also looked at Xu Zheng: "Brother Zheng, don't compete with me. Go find Wu Jing. Your leading man is a coach, so he needs to be older. Le'er is only a little older, so it's obviously not suitable. It's just right for him to come to me."

But Xu Zheng was not to be outdone: "Your team is dominated by the female lead. If Le'er goes, she will be number one among the men, but she will be number two in the ranking order."

In the end, no one won.

Zhou Le made it clear that he would do it with anyone. After all, for this kind of subject that is a tribute to the motherland, the pay is so little, so no one can try to morally blackmail me.

In the end, no clear explanation was given.

They can only wait until they return to discuss it.

There is no way. Now Zhou Le feels that he is like a succubus. Everyone wants him and everyone wants to use him. He can't separate himself, right?
Zhou Le divided into five parts?

He suddenly found the title inexplicably funny.

But Zhou Le’s name is definitely on the list of actors.

However, each director has several recommendation quotas, and Zhou Le discussed with several people to help recommend Yin Zheng when the time comes.

He mentioned all of Yin Zheng's strengths.

The last few people actually thought it was pretty good, so the spot fell on Wen Muye.

After all, he felt that Zhou Le was the most likely to be with him.

Although Yin Zheng’s previous image was in comedy, Bai Ke was able to play in The Founding of an Army, so why can’t Yin Zheng come here?

As long as the acting is good, nothing will be a problem.

In the evening, they started talking about the script again. After all, all three of them were involved this time, and they could get some inspiration by chatting with each other.

Zhou Le chatted with them so much that he didn't sleep well at night.

As a result, around five o'clock, Yu Shuxin called.

"Brother Le, it's time to get up. Didn't we agree yesterday to get up early today?"

Zhou Le listened to the voice on the phone in a daze: "Did we talk about this yesterday? What are we going to do today?"

"Go to the morning market and have some breakfast."

Zhou Le sighed inwardly, thinking that this was indeed the case: "Well, okay then."

After saying that, he lifted the quilt and stood up.

I'm going to take a shower first.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuxin swiped her card and came in directly.

Zhou Le subconsciously covered his lower body.

Although there is a pair of pants, it is morning after all.

Then I found out that he was also shirtless.

Then he freed up one hand to cover it.

Yu Shuxin sighed: "It's okay, I've already finished what I need to watch, it's no use for you to cover it up now."

Zhou Le: “?”

"When did you see it?"

"That day, you were running naked on the roof."

Zhou Le: "???"

"It's over. My innocence is gone."

Yu Shuxin was so angry that she laughed: "Do you have this thing? Go take a shower quickly, or it will be gone by the morning market if you're late."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Le went in and took a quick shower.

Then come out wrapped in a bath towel.

Yu Shuxin turned around very sensibly, and Zhou Le changed his clothes.

Then the two set off for the morning market.

On that street, Zhou Le was recognized by many people.

There are young people and older people.

Some people also surrounded Zhou Le and took videos and photos while he was eating.

The roads are blocked.

In the end, Zhou Le had no choice but to borrow a table from the merchant and move to the corner.

This way, even if we gather together, it will not affect others.

As for eating like a monkey, it doesn't matter.

"Take good pictures, don't make it look like I'm stealing food."

Zhou Le looked up and said.

However, some people knew that Zhou Le was shopping at the morning market here, and some even bought food and sent it over.

Some businesses also deliver here.

"Enough, enough, I'm full." Yu Shuxin felt the enthusiasm and shouted quickly.

"Yeah, it's a waste if you can't finish it, so don't give it away."

But as soon as this wave is finished, the next wave comes.

In the end, Zhou Le had no choice but to select lucky audience members on the spot to give breakfast to.

"They are all sent by friends. They are hot. Eat them while they are hot."

After finally delivering the goods, Zhou Le wiped the table clean and helped move it back.

After that, the two began to stroll around.

It was the first time for Yu Shuxin to see the prices here. She walked from beginning to end and bought a lot even though she couldn't eat anymore.

Some businesses don’t charge money.

Zhou Le asked the people around him about the price.

After asking, just scan the QR code and transfer.

In the end, I was carrying a lot of things in my hands.

Various fruits, cakes, bread, biscuits, fried dough sticks, etc.

"I think we can eat enough for the two of us for twenty dollars."

Yu Shuxin said while rubbing her stomach.

Zhou Le nodded. "Yeah, I doubt they have their own currency. People should earn money in Shanghai and spend it back here."

After eating, we left the morning market and returned to the hotel.

I rested until noon, and because I ate too much in the morning, I didn’t eat much at noon.

In the afternoon, Zhou Le put on her makeup and took the organizer's car to the Wuhuan Gymnasium.

"Teacher Zhou, do you want to go in now? Or do you want to chat with the other teachers outside for a while?"

The reception staff here asked politely.

"I'll stay outside for a while."

Zhou Le smiled.

"Okay, I'll be right over there. If you need to come in, feel free to call me."

After saying that, he walked aside and waited.

"Look at their attitude. I won't mention their names. If the last Weibo Movie Night had been half as good as theirs, I wouldn't have done that with Brother Chao and the others."

Zhou Le sighed.

"Yeah, they really went too far last time." Yu Shuxin only regretted that she was not there at the time, otherwise she would have lost her temper on the spot.

The first person Zhou Le saw here was Wang Chuanjun. Wang Chuanjun came with the crew of "The Last Romance", but he definitely couldn't win the award.

It can only be said that it is just a formality.

After waiting for a while, Xu Zheng and others also arrived.

A few people stood outside and chatted.

Then the Iron Fist crew, Operation Red Sea crew, Snow White crew and Zhang Ziyi also came over one after another.

We chatted a few more times with those we knew.

Zhou Le, who was not very familiar with them, just added them on WeChat, exchanged a few simple words to get to know them, and waited for the next meeting to talk.

However, when Zhang Ziyi came, Zhou Le clearly discovered that she was there mainly to chat with a few directors.

He just greeted Zhou Le and didn't even look at him.

After the other party left, Zhou Le smiled and said, "I think the next time I see Zhang Ziyi, I should change my name to Terms of Service and Privacy Agreement."

"Hahaha, why do you feel uncomfortable being ignored?"

Zhou Le shook his head: "That's not the case. I'm not that shameless. Besides, she will take the initiative to talk to me in the future."

But Zhang Ziyi is rather arrogant.

The other crew members were all very nice.

Zhou Le also chatted with Huang Jingyu and Peng Yuyan for a long time.

But Huang Jingyu was about to enter so he left first.

Peng Yuyan strongly agrees with Zhou Le's weight loss of dozens of pounds in "Dying to Survive", because he always does the same thing himself.

Zhou Le waved his hands: "That's nothing, it's as it should be. But Mr. Peng, I used to be known as Taiyuan Peng Yuyan."

Zhou Le smiled.

Peng Yuyan smiled and said, "Then should I call myself Zhou Le from the Taiwan Province?"

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered something, took out his cell phone and said, "Come on, let's take a photo together."

After the photoshoot, Peng Yuyan opened his Weibo account and posted a photo: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Le from Taiwan."

Zhou Le took a look and asked for the photo and sent it over: "Hello everyone, I am Peng Yuyan from Taiyuan."

However, Peng Yuyan saw that Zhou Le had sent so many messages in the background but did not read them.

"Why are you so popular on Weibo?"

Zhou Le was puzzled: "Isn't this normal? You should have a lot of information in your background."

Peng Yuyan smiled and said, "I have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so my assistant usually helps me clean up once a day."

Zhou Le looked at Yu Shuxin at this time.

Yu Shuxin just chuckled. But since Weibo was already open, the two of them followed each other.

After following, Zhou Le also clicked on the comments and planned to remove the red dot first.

Then I saw a comment at the top: "Brother Le, I also want to be as self-disciplined as you, but I just can't break the bad habit of playing with my phone. What should I do?"

Zhou Le thought about it and directly sent the other party a red envelope of 88 yuan: "Brother, there's nothing wrong with playing with your phone. Use the money to buy a skin and have fun."

After posting, I refreshed the page and found another new comment from a female fan.

"Brother Le, please help me. I've counseled many people, but I can't counsel myself. When I finally tried to counsel them, I realized I didn't. What should I do?"

Zhou Le: “.”

"I can't help you with this. I can only say that you should take care of yourself."

Peng Yuyan was watching from the side.

"Haha, is this how you usually chat with your fans?"

"Almost. We're all buddies, so we can just talk about whatever we want."

Peng Yuyan also found it interesting.

So I looked at my own comments.

"Zhou Le, sometimes I don't know how to reply to them, but I also think it's nice to chat with them sometimes."

Zhou Le: "That's easy, just give me your phone."

Peng Yuyan handed over the phone.

Zhou Le asked again: "Which one do you want to go back to?"

Peng Yuyan pointed to one at random: "This one."

See you there: "Peng Yuyan, I want to lie in your mouth."

Zhou Le nodded, then clicked on the comments and looked at Peng Yuyan: "Open your mouth."

Peng Yuyan opened his mouth.

Zhou Le took a photo and replied directly with the photo: "Come."

Then he threw the phone into Peng Yuyan's arms.

Peng Yuyan was stunned.

"this is okay too?"

"Why not?" Zhou Le asked back, "If you want to get closer to them, you have to communicate with them using their way of thinking. But you have to be careful. It doesn't matter with male fans, but female fans need to control the scale."

Peng Yuyan seemed to understand but not quite.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Le followed Xu Zheng and others to walk the red carpet.

At the same time, Huang Jingyu had already sat down after entering, and then he remembered that they had not followed each other on Weibo.

When I checked, I found that Zhou Le and Peng Yuyan had followed each other.

And also posted on Weibo.

But Zhou Le obviously had more comments.

So he commented here: "Why didn't you take me with you?"

After Zhou Le entered the scene, the cameras were all filming him.

After all, the last time Zhou Le attended such an event was in the first half of the year. At that time, there was some trouble on Weibo, and the only reporter and photographer who captured that shot was said to have received an extra bonus of tens of thousands that month.

It’s a pity that the Changchun Film Festival was impeccable in its treatment of guests this time.

But Zhou Le still felt that the flash was too dazzling.

“I don’t know who likes these.”

Zhou Le entered the venue muttering.

After entering the venue and taking a few photos, Zhou Le also found his seat.

But this time Zhou Le's seat was very close to the front, and the entire crew of Medicine God was sitting together.

"Three great directors, I'm lucky to be here with you this time. Otherwise, if I came here by myself, I would have to be at least three rows behind."

"Haha, you underestimate yourself. Even if we weren't here, you could still sit in the second row this time." Xu Zheng said.

In fact, Zhou Le also knew that he must have been sitting in the first row because Xu Zheng and others had greeted the organizers.

As for who will be arranged to the back, that is not Zhou Le’s concern.

Anyway, Zhou Le turned his head and looked back, and saw that Peng Yuyan, Huang Jingyu and others were all in the second row.

Of course, sitting in the middle were Zhang Ziyi and the leaders of the organizer.

About an hour later, as the arranged seats were filled, the film festival officially began.

The leader went on stage to speak first.

This speech alone lasted more than twenty minutes.

This was followed by an introduction to the sponsors, organizers, and the chairman and members of the jury.

Among these people, Zhou Le only knew two people, Zhang Yuqi and Su Youpeng.

There are not many awards at the Changchun Film Festival, only ten in total.

The first thing played was the list of all the shortlisted films.

The God of Medicine is among them.

But if you think about it, the most talked-about movie this year is "Dying to Survive".

The second tier is "Operation Red Sea", "The Shameful Iron Fist", "The Founding of an Army" and "Shock Wave".

Films like "Ex-Files 3", "The Snowstorm Is Coming" and "The Wasted Times" all have to rank third.

"In fact, this year's 'Operation Red Sea' is more of a continuation of last year's 'Wolf Warrior'. In terms of filming alone, 'Operation Red Sea' had already begun filming before 'Wolf Warrior' was released. However, for the audience, the two films will definitely be compared together."

Xu Zheng said.

Zhou Le nodded. "Yeah, two years in a row, two military-themed films. People are bound to compare them. I watched Operation Red Sea on the Internet. Although it's also a commercial film, the logic is actually more rigorous."

Although Zhou Le is in "Wolf Warrior", Zhou Le still thinks "Operation Red Sea" is better.

After all, in China, especially in modern warfare, more emphasis is placed on discipline.

But if you look deeper, both "Wolf Warrior" and "Operation Red Sea" actually have bugs.

"Le'er, if you were a judge, which of these two films would you vote for for Best Picture?"

Zhou Le said without hesitation: "That must be Wolf Warrior."

"Hahaha, just because you're in Wolf Warrior 2?" Wen Mu asked again.

"Director Wen, look at what you said. If you want to find a reason, don't you have a lot of excuses?"

All three directors laughed.

The reason why they are interested in Zhou Le is because Zhou Le still has this commercialism in him.

If it happened to someone else, it might seem annoying, but not to Zhou Le.

After all, they are on the same side.

The film festival awards ceremony officially began only after clips of all the shortlisted films were played on stage.

The first award presented was the Best Chinese-language Feature Film Award.

Four films, "When Will the Moon Rise", "The Founding of an Army", "Operation Red Sea" and "Dying to Survive", were nominated.

When Wen Mu sent the shortlisted clips to the organizer, he specially selected four clips.

Among them, two are by Xu Zheng, one is by Zhou Le, and one is by Tan Zhuo.

After all, the Best Supporting Actor award went to Zhou Lechong, and the Best Actress award naturally went to Tan Zhuo.

In the end, "Dying to Survive" and "Operation Red Sea" both won awards.

Wen Mu also went on stage to receive the award as a director, and Zhou Le and others applauded with smiles.

Zhou Le looked at Ning Hao beside him in confusion.

"Brother Hao, can this award be given to two films at the same time?"

Ning Hao smiled, leaned closer to Zhou Le and whispered, "What else can we do? Medicine God is such a hot topic, it's been on countless trending searches. It wouldn't be appropriate to give Red Sea without Medicine God, but Red Sea is the main theme, and the box office is also quite high, so we can't not give it to them either. So we have to give it to both. After all, it's up to people to decide who to give it to."

Zhou Le thought about it and agreed.

Next up is the Best Young Screenwriter Award.

The nominees are still "Operation Red Sea" and "Dying to Survive", but there is also an additional "Shameful Iron Fist".

In the end, the winner of the award was still "Dying to Survive".

"Compared to that, the story of our Medicine God is the best. Iron Fist comedy definitely can't compare to our two. Red Sea is mainly about the subject matter and the visuals."

Ning Hao continued his analysis.

There are only two nominations for Best Director, "Dying to Survive" and "The Blizzard."

"The Blizzard Is Coming" is a crime thriller, but its premiere was at the Tokyo International Film Festival and it was not released in China until almost half a month later.

But because the story was good and not all the awards could be given to the Medicine God, the young director Wen Mu was not able to go on stage.

But they gave up one in the director category, so Xu Zheng naturally won the Best Actor award, beating Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Peng Yuyan and Ai Lun.

This is also one of the disadvantages of "Operation Red Sea"'s pursuit of teamwork.

If it was Wu Jing from "Wolf Warrior", Xu Zheng would not be able to get this award even if he snatched all his hair.

"The next one will definitely be Zhang Ziyi."

Just as Xu Zheng went on stage to receive the award, Ning Hao spoke again.

Zhou Le nodded.

After all, they have come here, it would be unreasonable not to give them one.

After all, he is an international movie star.

Sure enough, Tan Zhuo only received a nomination for Best Actress.

"Look, no matter what I say, it's definitely her, unless someone of Gong Li's level comes."

Ning Hao looked as if he had known this for a long time.

"But don't worry about your award. No one else can get it except you."

Zhou Le listened to Ning Hao's confident words and chose to believe them for no reason.

At this moment, the host on the stage continued to announce the show.

"Now let's announce the nominees for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 14th China Changchun Film Festival Golden Deer Awards."

"Lü Shouyi, played by Zhou Le in 'Dying to Survive'."

At the same time, the clip starts playing on the screen.

"Eat an orange."

"When I first got sick, my wife was only six months pregnant, and I wanted to die every day. Now I have medicine and money. If my son had had a baby earlier, I would have become a grandfather."

"The first time I saw him, I didn't want to die. I just wanted to hear him call me dad."

"Eat an orange."

In the last shot, Zhou Le did not appear. The camera only showed Cheng Yong with a worried look on his face and Lu Shouyi's numb wife. However, Lu Shouyi's wailing during the wound debridement was heard by everyone through the speakers.
