Chapter 136 Winning Best Actor and Actress
"The winners of the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor are Fu Dalong and Zheng Guolin. Let's give them a warm round of applause."

As the award presenter finished speaking, the entire audience burst into applause.

Those sitting next to Zheng Guolin congratulated him, as did Fu Dalong.

The two were enjoying immense success.

Having won the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival, and now the Best Actor award at the Shanghai International Film Festival, he was undoubtedly the brightest star of the night.

Cheng Sheng's eyes showed a strange look. If his other memory was correct, the Best Actor award should have gone to the people from the Little Days Country.

After Zheng Guolin and Fu Dalong finished their impassioned speeches, it was time for the Best Actress award.

The female celebrities participating in the competition all smiled, but they were very nervous inside.

Zhao clenched her fists, as she was nominated for Best Actress for her role in "A Time to Love".

Without the film "The Origins of the Tang Dynasty," Zhao is certain he would have won the award without a doubt.

But even with this film, she wasn't entirely confident.

Cheng Sheng found it quite amusing. The Golden Goblet Awards ceremony was exactly the same as other film festivals, starting with Best Actress and then proceeding down the list.

"The Best Actress award tonight goes to Su Chang for her role in 'The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins'."

As soon as the guest finished speaking, Su Chang, who was sitting in the third row, was extremely excited. She had won the Best Actress award.

Although the Shanghai International Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival are different, she is still an award-winning actress.

Congratulations, Changchang.

Sitting next to Su Chang, Zeng Li sincerely congratulated him.

"Thank you."

Su Chang and Zeng Li hugged.

Amidst applause, Su Chang walked to the center of the stage, accepted the trophy from the guest, and said into the microphone, "Thank you everyone. I am most grateful to Director Cheng Sheng for this award; it is he..."

When Su Chang mentioned Cheng Sheng, the photographer gave Cheng Sheng a three-second shot.

Cheng Sheng smiled slightly at the camera and waved.

Zhao looked dejected; he had actually lost to Su Chang.

Before Su Chang starred in Cheng Sheng's movie, she wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes, but now she's sitting on his head.

After the main competition trophies are awarded, there will also be the Asian Newcomer Award.

This award has attracted far less attention.

As expected, Ning won the award.

Jackie Chan and Cheung Siu-sze also received the Outstanding Contribution Award for Chinese Films from the Movie Channel.

When Chen Kaige saw Zhang Guoshi receive the award, his face turned very ugly.

For a long time, people online have been comparing him to Zhang Guoshi, but now Zhang Guoshi has won an award while he hasn't.

By any measure, he was inferior to Zhang Guoshi.

After the awards ceremony, Cheng Sheng said goodbye to Cheng Long and the others, and then left the Grand Theater with Su Chang and the others.

Su Chang, Zheng Guolin, and Fu Dalong were all very happy along the way.

Back at the hotel, Cheng Sheng went to his room alone.

The next day.

After resting for a night, Cheng Sheng took a plane back to Wuxi Film and Television City alone.

Su Chang and Zeng Li had to stay because of their company's activities.

Because of their awards, Zheng Guolin and Fu Dalong were given several interviews by the company, keeping them very busy.

Back on set, Cheng Sheng found Wang Zhi and told her about Ning Hao's decision.

Wang Zhi was somewhat disappointed to hear that the filming of "Crazy Stone" had been shelved.

“By the way, there’s a role for the protagonist’s wife in the movie ‘Buried Alive.’ Would you like to give it a try?” Cheng Sheng said.

"Me?" Wang Zhi, who was initially a little disappointed, was instantly overwhelmed with a huge surprise.

“Yes, I wrote the script for this movie. This role has even fewer scenes than the female lead in ‘Crazy Stone.’ If you’d like to give it a try, I’ll talk to Ning Hao later. He should be busy preparing for the filming right now,” Cheng Sheng said.

Filming "Buried" was very simple; all you needed was a coffin and a few props, and the filming location was simply the desert.

Therefore, once the actors are selected, filming will begin in less than a week.

"I'll go," Wang Zhi said happily.

"Okay, go back and pack your things. Go to Kyoto to see Director Ning Hao tomorrow," Cheng Sheng said.

"Thank you, Director Cheng."

Wang Zhi expressed her gratitude.

She knew that she wouldn't have gotten this opportunity if Cheng Sheng hadn't recommended her.

If this were ancient times, she would definitely have offered herself to him.

No, even if Cheng Sheng wanted to sexually harass her now, she wouldn't resist.

After leaving, Wang Zhi found Da Tiantian, who was practicing horseback riding, and told her that she would be leaving the film crew the next day.

"Are you leaving? Is it because 'Crazy Stone' is about to start filming?" Da Tian Tian asked in surprise.

"No."

"No? Then why did you leave early? You're my riding instructor. If you leave, who will teach me riding?" Da Tian Tian said.

“Sweetie, your riding skills are already very good. You can already film scenes of charging on horseback. I’m leaving because I’m going to film another movie directed by Ning,” Wang Zhi explained.

"Another film?"

Da Tiantian was shocked; her friend was incredibly lucky.

She took on two roles in a row.

Even as a dazzling little princess, I'm not this amazing.

"What movie is it?" Da Tiantian immediately became curious about Ning Hao's movie.

What kind of movie could make Ning Hao put aside "Crazy Stone" and then make this new movie?

Wang Zhi didn't intend to hide anything from her good friend, saying, "Director Cheng said that he wrote the script for this movie, and the movie is called 'Buried Alive,' but I don't know the content yet."

"A script written by Cheng Sheng?"

Da Tiantian was shocked again.

Everyone in the film and television industry knows how good Cheng Sheng is at writing screenplays.

This also reminded Da Tiantian of Cheng Sheng's busy schedule for two consecutive days before going to the Shanghai International Film Festival. Could it be this script?
the next day.

Wang Zhi left the film and television city.

The news quickly spread throughout the film crew.

The crew members were all talking about whether Wang Zhi had gone to film Ning Hao's new movie.

Cheng Sheng didn't care what the crew was talking about; he was focused on the progress of filming.

With the added advantage of an immersive experience, everything progressed very smoothly, and there were very few instances of actors having to do retakes.

In particular, Bao Guoan's portrayal of Cao Cao, enhanced by his immersive experience, was truly masterful.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Sheng quoted a future netizen to comment on Bao Guoan's acting skills: "Teacher Bao, if the Cao Cao who was wiped out in history looked different from you, then you would definitely tell Cao Cao the problem."

Cheng Sheng's comments about Bao Guo'an immediately caused a burst of laughter on set.

Hong Yuzhou, who acted opposite Bao Guoan, must have felt a lot of pressure!
"Director Cheng, you flatter me. I was able to perform so well thanks to Cheng Sheng's prior arrangement for everyone to study the script together," Bao Guoan said modestly.

In fact, Bao Guoan was also quite surprised.

Although he had a thorough understanding of the character Cao Cao, he did not expect to perform so well in front of the camera.

At that moment, he felt like he was really Cao Cao, completely unaware that he was acting, but rather transformed into Cao Cao from the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
