Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 228 Best Director!
"Next we're going to give out the Best Newcomer Award. Please welcome our guest, Zhou Jielun!"

When Cheng Xi heard this, he was surprised to see that Jie Lun was here.

I just didn't notice.

Then the host and Zhou Jielun exchanged greetings for a while.

"Why is it Jie Lun who is giving out this prize?"

"Is it because I won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer?"

"Do you have any words of encouragement for the newly nominated candidates?"

"You need a good director who can edit your highlights into the film, and then you have a chance to win an award."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed.

"Then let's take a look at tonight's Best Newcomer nominees."

The competition for Best Newcomer is quite fierce.

Li Qin in "The Founding of a Party", Zhang Zifeng in "Aftershock", Hu Ge in "The Revolution of 1911", Ni Ni in "The Flowers of War", and Zhou Ye in "Life's Events".

Except for Zhou Ye, the top four are developing better and better later on.

From this perspective, it also proves the value of this award nomination.

"The Best Newcomer category is very interesting, encompassing those born in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. So who will win this award? Please vote, everyone!"

"We see Hu Ge is leading with 16 votes."

"Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Ye also followed."

The votes among the five actors were very close, and the columns were slowly rising.

Hu Ge, Li Qin, Zhou Ye Ma and others all leaned forward to look at the big screen.
Hu Ge, who was originally smiling, was shocked when he saw that Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Ye had surpassed him.

Although he maintained his expression well, he could still see that he was a little embarrassed.

After all, he has been famous in the field of TV dramas for many years, and this year his competitors for the best newcomer include two children.

It seems like I won, but it was an unfair victory.

Losing is even more embarrassing.

Hu Ge received 22 votes, Zhang Zifeng received 20 votes, and Zhou Ye received 19 votes.
The votes for Ni Ni and Li Qin basically moved at the beginning, and then there was no reaction.

Zhou Ye's mother looked at the big screen nervously, muttering:
"Buddha bless you! Surpass, surpass!"

Maybe praying really works, as Zhou Ye luckily overtook the opponent in the last few seconds.

The final vote count was Zhou Ye with 28 votes, Zhang Zifeng with 26 votes, Hu Ge with 25 votes, Li Qin with 11 votes, and Ni Ni with 8 votes.

3 votes abstained due to timeout.

Narrowly defeated Zhang Zifeng and Hu Ge!

"Let us congratulate Zhou Ye for winning the Best Newcomer Award at the 31st Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards! Please come on stage to receive your award!"

As soon as the voting results came out, everyone applauded.

After all, many people have seen Zhou Ye's performance in "Life Events".

She is smart and natural, and her talent is quite strong for her age.

Moreover, the recent release of TFgirls' songs also gained her a lot of popularity among the audience.

Cheng Xi, especially Zhou Ye's mother, was extremely happy.

All of a sudden Zhou Ye hugged her mother.

Then she went to Cheng Xi and hugged his waist.

Everyone was laughing.

"Congratulations, Xiaoye. Go and claim your award."

When Zhou Ye, the little adult, walked onto the stage.

Zhou Ye's mother also expressed her gratitude to Cheng Xi:
"Director Cheng, without you, Xiaoye wouldn't have had a chance. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, Auntie. Xiaoye behaved very well."

The audience in front of the TV saw that it was the captain of TFgirls who won the Best Newcomer Award.

I also became excited.

Cheng Xiao and Tian Xiwei were also watching the live broadcast with Sister Feng.

Cheng Xiao: "Humph, I can do it if you give me the role. She just knew Cheng Xi a long time ago."

Tian Xiwei: "Zhou Ye is great!"

Sister Feng was also very happy about winning the award and felt that her future was even brighter.

So I didn't mind Cheng Xiao's complaints.

"The crew of 'Life Events' is currently in the lead, having secured two nominations."

After the host said this, Zhou Ye also came to the center of the stage.

Zhou Jie Lun also handed the trophy and certificate to Zhou Ye with both hands.

Watching the 10-year-old Zhou Ye win the award, this moment reminded him of the time when Zuibai Entertainment invited him to make a guest appearance in a new movie not long ago.

After reading the script, I neither refused nor agreed.

"Zhou Ye, you've made history as the youngest newcomer at the Hundred Flowers Awards. Do you have anything to say?"

"I'm very happy. Thank you to my brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents who voted for me."

After saying that, Zhou Ye bowed to both sides.

There was another round of applause from the audience. This kid is really smart.

"Thank you Uncle Zhang Mingzhong, thank you Grandpa You, Third Brother, Sister Tianai, Sister Xiaoran, Brother Qiaoshan, they all taught me a lot."

"Thank you to my parents for taking me to the actor audition overnight."

When everyone heard this, they wondered why there was no thank you to Director Cheng Xi?
At this time, Zhou Ye also stopped and asked the host:

"Sister Jingying, I won a prize. Can I tell you anything?"

When Zhou Ye’s mother heard this, she immediately became nervous.

This kid, please don't talk nonsense.

"Of course, now is your stage."

When Zhou Ye heard this, he smiled even happier and raised the trophy towards the crew of "Life Events".

"Finally, there's Cheng Xi, but I don't thank you."

"Cheng Xi, wait for me, I will marry you when I grow up!"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the whole audience burst into laughter.

The camera and the guests' attention immediately turned to Cheng Xi.

Everyone smiled kindly and envied Cheng Xi.

It’s good to be young and talented, and this girl is also very brave.

Confess in front of a national audience.

Cheng Xi looked straight ahead, touching his nose with his right hand.

An expression that was both a little embarrassed and a little proud.

After all, it was a little girl who said in public that she wanted to marry you.

Anyone who comes here will feel happy and proud.

Cheng Xi thought:

Zhou Ye, thank you so much.

Give me such a big spotlight.

When the audience saw this scene, they were even more amused by Zhou Ye.

You know, Zhou Ye was born in 98 and Cheng Xi was born in 92, there's not much difference between them.

It’s hard to say!
If I were a girl, I would also want to marry Director Cheng!
Cheng Xiao: Humph, you are wishful thinking!

Tian Xiwei: Why does it feel like everyone is coveting Uncle Cheng?

At this time, Reba also saw the live broadcast on the computer.

As soon as the Hundred Flowers Awards began, she asked for leave from her coach.

Come watch the live broadcast.

Hearing Zhou Ye's words, I felt like laughing, but I couldn't help but say:
"Brother is such a playboy, he flirts with everyone!"

Later, the host also began to interview Hu Ge, who did not win the award.

The host, Tao Jingying, sat next to him with a lollipop:

"I originally told the kids that if they didn't win any prizes, I would give them lollipops to coax them, but I didn't expect them to win."

"Hu Ge, this candy can only be given to you."

Li Qin and Ady An in the back, and Jackie Chan next to them, couldn't help laughing.

"You can use this candy to exchange for the trophy with Zhou Ye later."

"No, no, I think Zhou Ye deserves the Newcomer Award."

"I think you're handsome too. I wish you can get the leading actor next time!"

"OK, thanks!"

The next Best Screenwriter Award was won by Su Xiaowei for "Aftershock".

"Life Events" ranked second, with only a few votes missing. Reba: What a pity, come on, brother!

Nazha: Come on, senior brother!
The Best Actor Award was won by Zhu Yilong, who was leading by a large margin.

"Thank you Director Cheng for giving me this opportunity and for patiently helping me and talking me through the scenes. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to achieve breakthroughs in many performances."

“Of course, and thank you.”

The Best Actress award was won by Bai Baihe for "Love Is Not Blind".

Zhou Ye also won the second place in the number of votes, which is considered a considerable recognition.

Now some are happy while others are sad.

The final Outstanding Feature Film Award was jointly won by "The Revolution of 1911" and "Aftershock".

The Lifetime Achievement Award was won by Wang Weiyi and Yan Jizhou.

What's left are the most important Best Director and Best Picture awards.

Although I know this will only be a small award in my film career.

But Cheng Xi still couldn't help feeling nervous.

Just missed out on a Best Screenplay award.

When the host said the voting had begun, Cheng Xi couldn't help but take a deep breath in front of the camera.

The camera then cuts to Feng Kuazi, Zhang Li, Huang Jianxin, Teng Huatao, and Cheng Xi.

Compared with other directors, Cheng Xi's young face is particularly prominent.

On the small screen next to it are the expressions of the five nominated directors.

Voting details are displayed on the big screen.

At this moment, not only Cheng Xi, but all the guests and audiences present were looking forward to who would win this important award!

At this time, Cheng Xi's friends were desperately cheering for Cheng Xi.

Reba, Nazha, Xiao Tiantian, Li Xiaoran, Tianai, and Zhou Ye who were present also prayed silently.

Some of the timid ones even dared not look at the big screen.

"Director Feng is in the lead, with 26 votes!"

"Cheng Xi, 20 votes!"

As soon as the voting started, Feng Kuazi and Cheng Xi's votes were ranked high.

In comparison, the votes for the other three directors seemed to have not moved.

Feng Kuazi received 37 votes, and Cheng Xi received 36 votes.
"Congratulations Feng"

Just as the host was about to congratulate Feng Kuazi, the crew of "Aftershock" looked very happy.

Feng Kuazi also showed a happy expression when he was about to stand up.

Suddenly, Cheng Xi's votes slowly dropped from 36 to 37 at the last moment!
In an instant, Feng Kuazi's joy turned into embarrassment. He raised his butt halfway with an ugly look and sat back down.

Does this host know how to check the time?
Xu Fan: "It's okay, you'll be the one to vote later."

Cheng Xi couldn't help but turn his gaze towards the public judging panel!
Which angel sister cast the last vote for me?

As long as you are beautiful and have a good figure, I am willing to marry you!

Of course, the final result surprised everyone, even Cheng Xi!

37 votes: 37 votes, Feng Kuazi and Cheng Xiping votes!

Everyone looked surprised!
Originally, no one was optimistic about Cheng Xi winning the Best Director Award, the most prestigious award.

Unexpectedly, Feng Kuazi, who won the Best Director award twice in a row, tied with him.

Even if I lose the second round of PK, it won’t be shameful.

The audience was so excited that they asked if this was a scripted event.

It was a tie!
Reba Nazha was sitting in front of the computer, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

It would be okay if there was no chance at the beginning, but now the chance is 50 percent.

I couldn't help but feel more nervous.

"The first round of voting resulted in a tie. According to the voting rules, a second round will now begin."

"The 101 public judges will only vote for Director Feng of 'Aftershock' and Director Cheng of 'Life Events'."

"Are you ready? Please vote, public judges!"

This time, the crew of "Life Events" most wants to see Cheng Xi win the award.

The other awards are also of good value, but it doesn’t matter which one I get, I won the last two.

These are the awards that have the greatest impact on one's fame and help one's career the most.

Just when everyone was still in shock, the vote count started on the big screen.

Feng Kuazi received 26 votes. Cheng Xi received 12 votes.
As soon as the votes were counted, Cheng Xi was far behind.

Feng Kuazi's counting cylinder rushed forward more and more fiercely.

At this time, Xu Fan gave Feng Kuazi a look, meaning "right, I said it's still yours."

But in the blink of an eye, Feng Kuazi's votes were fixed at more than 30 votes.

After that, the price went up one vote at a time.

And Cheng Xi started chasing!

Feng Kuazi received 38 votes. Cheng Xi received 27 votes.
Feng Kuazi received 40 votes. Cheng Xi received 33 votes.
Feng Kuazi received 44 votes. Cheng Xi received 40 votes.
Feng Kuazi received 47 votes. Cheng Xi received 46 votes.
Overtake, overtake!
The crew of "Life Events" kept cheering Cheng Xi on.

The audience in front of the TV had never felt so excited about voting.

They also hope that Cheng Xi can win this award.

After all, Feng Pants is tired of seeing it.

Who doesn’t want to see the story of a charming young man who dominates the whole crowd and then makes a comeback!
Feng Kuazi received 48 votes. Cheng Xi received 48 votes.
Feng Kuazi's expression became increasingly ugly.

He could accept losing to Zhang Yimou, or any of the other nominated directors.

It would be difficult for me to get off the stage after losing to a 20-year-old young man.

However, Feng Kuazi’s wish was not fulfilled!
The more you fear something, the more it will come!
Finally, the votes were reversed in the last few seconds!

Feng Kuazi received 49 votes. Cheng Xi received 51 votes.
1 person abstained!
Feng Kuazi pursed his lips and said nothing.

The crew of "Aftershock" was also silent.

He raised his hand halfway, not knowing whether he should applaud and congratulate Cheng Xi.

"Congratulations! The winner of the 31st Best Director Award is Director Cheng Xicheng of "Life Events." Please come on stage to receive the award!"

When Cheng Xi saw this result, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and smiled at the camera.

Then he stood up and welcomed the congratulations and hugs from those around him.

"Congratulations, Director, you did it!"

"Congratulations, Director!"

Zhang Mingzhong, You Benchang, Zhu Yilong and Zhang Tianai came over to hug and congratulate.

When it came to Li Xiaoran, she was even more excited than herself.

First, I straightened his clothes.

"So handsome!"

Then he hugged Cheng Xi and whispered in his ear:

"Congratulations, Master. I'll give you a reward tonight."

"What reward?"

"You can ride freely."

Cheng Xi's smile became even brighter at this time.

The guests who were closer to Cheng Xi also stood up, smiled, applauded and congratulated him.

Cheng Xi came to the corridor and waved to the camera and those who congratulated him.

Then he strode onto the stage.

At this moment, the audience in front of the screen saw Cheng Xi's heroic appearance.

And full of vitality that is unique to young people.

Reba, Nazha, and Cheng Xi's parents all watched Cheng Xi walk onto the stage.

My heart is filled with emotion and pride.

His former friends and classmates.
Li Wentao, Deng Jie, Jin Xiaoluo, and staff from Zuibai.
Shen Teng and Ma Li of Mahua.
Fan Binbin. Xiao Tiantian. Jin Chen and Li Yitong.
Bai Xue, Qin Shiyue. Yang Zi, Yang Caiyu.
The four talented students from 302, the Management Department.
Teacher Jin, Teacher Weng, Cao Jinnan, and Director Yu.
Dapeng Liuyan
Wanhe Tianyi Yi Xiaoxing and Bai Ke
Yi Xiaoxing: "Bai Ke, I really didn't expect that Supervisor Cheng would be so quick."

Bai Ke: "Yeah. Only two years."

Even Lu Chuan and Bai Zhongchun
Everyone who followed Cheng Xi also learned the news sooner or later.

Netizens also left messages of congratulations on Zuibai’s Weibo!

Cheng Xi wore a suit and tie and strode with big strides in the most formal occasions.

With a smile on his lips, he looked very proud.

He was seen by everyone tonight.
