Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 139 Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award-Winning Actress

Gong Li greeted Ning Jing.

Tang Jinshan then looked at another person in the "Yellow River Love" crew.

"You must be director Feng Xiaoning? It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Does Mr. Tang know me?"

Feng Xiaoning was very surprised.

Not to mention overseas audiences, many viewers in China don't even know him.

He's not like Zhang Yimou or Chen Shiren, those famous directors.

"I'd like to get to know all the great directors. I've seen your films 'Red River Valley' and 'Yellow River Love,' and they're both of a very high standard!"

Tang Jinshan exclaimed in admiration.

Feng Xiaoning is a very talented director, having directed films such as *The War Meridian*, *The Beiyang Fleet*, and *Red River Valley*.

Works such as "Yellow River Love".

Moreover, he produced, directed, wrote, photographed, edited, and even handled all the special effects himself.

This is incredibly awesome!

However, it seems that he only makes low-budget films.

The next film to be shot should be "Purple Sun," the final installment of the war six-part series.

It's the one with the female Japanese soldier.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang. You are truly dedicated to supporting our domestic films."

Feng Xiaoning excitedly shook hands with Tang Jinshan.

With both "My 1919" and "The Birth of a Warrior" currently showing in theaters, how could he, as someone passionate about making war films, not like them, given their excellent production and grand scale?

I'm so envious just looking at it.

Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of capital.

Even if it were in my own hands, I might not be able to manage it well.

Tang Jinshan is indeed spending heavily to support domestic films.

Both "My 1919" and "The Birth of a Warrior" performed poorly at the box office, and it's unclear how much money they will lose.

This even includes the films nominated this time, "Pretty Mom" ​​and "Postmen in the Mountains".

He has the utmost respect for such a person!

During the conversation, Tang Jinshan also saw a bunch of familiar faces.

The Hundred Flowers Awards have over twenty films nominated, which is quite a large number.

And then there's Feng Xiaogang's "Be There or Be Square," he's a rare guest, it's a rare occasion for him to be recognized.

Ge You, Xu Fan, and others were all present.

The two sides had met several times in Beijing and greeted each other.

Tang Jinshan also saw Teng Wenyi and Yuan Yang from "Spring Rhapsody".

I heard —

Cough!

Compared to a pervert, he's actually a normal person.

Sometimes I often lament that I don't fit in with them because I'm not weird enough.

Other cast members include Ye Daying, Leslie Cheung, and Mei Ting from "Red Lovers".

Mei Ting was classmates with Zhang Ziyi and Zeng Li.

However, he dropped out of school to make a movie.

Leslie Cheung was an old acquaintance and greeted him warmly.

Tang Jinshan also saw Hu Jing, another golden flower from the Central Academy of Drama's 96 class.

If I had the chance to get them all together at one table, the scene would be spectacular!

There's also Chen Zhixi, who is a formidable woman.

She will become a producer in the future, and films such as "Lost in Thailand", "Jian Bing Man", "The Breakup Guru" and "Detective Chinatown" are all produced by her.

He might even become the chairman of Wanda Cinema.

Perhaps we can dig some up, but we'll probably have to cultivate them ourselves.

The first few days of the film festival are filled with various events and seminars.

Tang Jinshan was a complete novice in this area and had no sense of involvement whatsoever.

So of course he'll do what he's good at.

That evening, he took Gong Li to talk about life and appreciate the beauty of Fengtian from all angles.

There are still many fun places to visit in Fengtian.

The Forbidden City in Fengtian is one of them.

There are also many fun places to visit nearby.

A few days are plenty of time to relax and enjoy oneself.

The weather is just a bit unfriendly.

It's already getting cold, but it hasn't started snowing yet.

He, a southerner, had no chance to experience the world of ice and snow.

Later, Tang Jinshan also attended a banquet hosted by Zhao Benshan.

He's a local bigwig here, and he's even been nominated for Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

During the film festival, the poet Chen and his wife frequently sought him out.

Poet Chen had the desire to continue making movies and sought investment from Tang Jinshan.

Tang Jinshan still has several holes to fill, and he has no money at all right now.

I could only refuse him because of cash flow problems, and then I made him a promise.

We will continue to cooperate in the future.

Poet Chen is quite good at spending money; he's worth pursuing.

On the 20th, the last day of the film festival, the awards ceremony finally arrived.

The Hundred Flowers Awards will be presented first, followed by the Golden Rooster Awards.

The organizers also invited the best actors and actresses from previous years to be the award presenters, making it a very lively event.

The awards for the Hundred Flowers Awards are very simple.

It includes Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress.

There were no other technical awards.

Because this is an audience award, chosen by vote. What do the audience know about art?

Unsurprisingly, Gong Li won the Best Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, a well-deserved victory.

Nothing surprising happened.

Congratulations, Sister Gong Li!

Tang Jinshan was also happy for Gong Li.

Although he knew that "Pretty Mom" ​​could win an award, this time the competition had changed.

He couldn't predict the outcome.

"Thank you! You deserve some credit for this too."

Gong Li was also very happy.

He finally reaped some rewards, but unfortunately, it couldn't make up for the losses at Tang Jinshan's box office.

The only way to compensate him is in other ways.

She didn't even refuse when this bastard played unconventional games with her.

"Congratulations, Sister Gong Li!"

Ning Jing was also very happy.

Gong Li won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, so she can't compete with her for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.

"Thanks!"

Gong Li walked onto the stage with a big smile.

However, facing the gaze of the crowd and the cameras of the media, I felt like I was being pricked by needles.

That bastard!

When she stood on the stage and saw Tang Jinshan applauding enthusiastically for her from below, her resentment subsided considerably.

"Thank you to the judges and the audience for giving me this award. Thank you for your support and recognition!"

"Here, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Tang Jinshan. Without his generous investment, I would not be standing on this stage tonight, nor would I have this meaningful film, 'Pretty Mom,' to play such a subject and such a role, giving some attention to the disadvantaged. I am very honored."

Gong Li made no attempt to hide her feelings and directly named Tang Jinshan.

The camera focused directly on him.

Tang Jinshan also smiled broadly.

Winning an award is certainly a happy thing.

Subsequently, Zhao Benshan won the Best Actor award.

The final Best Film selection was made from three films out of more than twenty.

They are "Not One Less", "Pretty Mom", and "Matchmaker".

The camera then focused on Tang Jinshan again.

Tonight was very fruitful!

A group of people went on stage to receive awards, and Sun Zhou, following Gong Li, once again emphasized his gratitude to Tang Jinshan.

I was so excited I almost couldn't speak coherently.

The director of "Not One Less" is Zhang Yimou, and the director of "The Matchmaker" is Huang Jianzhong.

As a "newcomer," he never dared to dream of receiving an award on the same stage as them!

Without Tang Jinshan's support, where would he be today?

Even though it was shared by three people, he was already very satisfied!

The Hundred Flowers Awards have come to a perfect end, followed by the Golden Rooster Awards.

The Golden Rooster Awards are for professionals. Even if a film hasn't been released, as long as it passes the film and television review and obtains a license, it can be nominated for the award.

There are many more awards this time, enough pork to go around.

However, when the presenter announced that Gong Li had won the Best Actress award, the audience was stunned.

This is an absolute upset!

No one expected Gong Li to win both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Actress!

The judges really have an unbridled fondness for her!

However, this is not without precedent.

Siqin Gaowa won the Best Actress award twice for her roles in "Rickshaw Boy" and Liu Xiaoqing won the Best Actress award for "Hibiscus Town".

In fact, Liu Xiaoqing is the presenter for the awards tonight.

It has a strong sense of taking over the reins of power.

The applause erupted again, but Ning Jing remained dejected.

She felt helpless and unwilling to accept that she couldn't win the competition even with these methods.

She has already won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress; all she needs is a Golden Rooster Award.

They're all Tang Jinshan!

I believe there are several other people who feel the same way as her.

Standing on the podium again, Gong Li was incredibly excited.

She never expected such an unexpected result!

Looking at Tang Jinshan below the stage, who was staring intently at her, she raised the trophy high with a bright smile.

She doesn't care even if others say she's getting carried away.

This is her moment of victory.

It also belongs to Tang Jinshan!

Moreover, there are some secrets that only they know!

Thinking of this, Gong Li's body tensed up involuntarily.

This night will be unforgettable for her!

The awards ceremony continued.

The Best Actor award went to Teng Rujun for his role in "Postmen in the Mountains".

It wasn't surprising that Zhang Yimou won Best Director.

Best Picture was once again won by "Postmen in the Mountains," a definite upset!

If it weren't for some reports, many people wouldn't even know about this movie.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Tang Jinshan.

The biggest winner tonight, besides Gong Li who won two Best Actress awards, is also the investor behind her!

The two films I invested in.

"Pretty Mom" ​​won Best Film and Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

"Postmen in the Mountains" won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Film, Best Actress, and Best Actor.

It's safe to say that he practically swept all the awards at this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, including Best Film, Best Actress, and Best Actor!

All that's missing is a Best Actor award at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Such achievements are simply dazzling!

He is the true uncrowned king tonight!

He spent real money to acquire all of this, at a great cost.

Of course, no one was jealous of him.

At this moment, everyone gave a warm round of applause!

This proves once again that he is supporting domestic films through his actions!

The force was extraordinary!

Even if there are some minor issues in their private lives, it's not a big deal.

Being young and frivolous is inevitable.

Who isn't just an ordinary person?

At the celebration banquet, Tang Jinshan was surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Mr. Tang, congratulations! You're the biggest winner tonight! We hope you'll continue your success and achieve even greater things!"

Han Shanping and his group congratulated him.

"So you just want to keep spending money, right?"

Tang Jinshan laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The group of people burst into laughter.

"Of course, the more the better! We still want to thank President Tang for his generosity!"

A leader from China Film Group joked.

Of course, it's also possible that they're being honest and want as much as possible.

Tang Jinshan was toasted by a bunch of people, but luckily a lot of people helped him fend off the drinks this time.

Gong Li, Sun Zhou, Huo Jianqi, Liu Hua and others all stood up for him.

Back at the hotel late at night, Tang Jinshan truly showed his generosity by donating money.

"Congratulations, Gong Li! You've won both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Actress! Now you truly deserve the title of 'Empress Gong'!"

Tang Jinshan's eyes were filled with eagerness.

Gong Li looks stunning in her gorgeous gown tonight!

"I should be the one thanking you properly!"

Gong Li's gaze was equally intense.

She gave Tang Jinshan a deep kiss, almost catching her breath.

Express your joy and excitement about tonight's achievements.

She drank a lot tonight and got quite drunk.

He became even more dissolute.

Of course, it was also to celebrate Tang Jinshan's series of victories.

"That's because you have the ability and deserve it. Otherwise, no matter how much money I spend, I wouldn't make a splash. Your award is the biggest return on my investment!"

October is the golden autumn season, a time of harvest.

The plump fruit is refreshing and delightful.

The feeling of accomplishment always brings joy to both body and mind!

To support Gong Li's acting career, Tang Jinshan invested another 300 million yuan, which she squandered.

As it turns out, she is a talented actress worthy of significant investment!

Gong Li's face flushed red with intoxication, and she felt even more grateful.

Her eyes were alluring, her red lips were luscious, and she slid down.

Sometimes, gratitude needs to be expressed not only through actions but also through words.

Tang Jinshan felt a surge of excitement; this was his greatest reward tonight.

But that wasn't all. Half an hour later, Gong Li took off a ruby ​​she was wearing.

Tang Jinshan finally saw in full what a Golden Rooster Award-winning actress and a Hundred Flowers Award-winning actress really meant!

Tang Jinshan gained a lot from his trip to Fengtian.

Gong Li is one of them.

She returned home with billions of yuan invested in her by Tang Jinshan.

This was the most glorious and unforgettable moment of her life!

Even with her confidence, she lacked the assurance that she could replicate that glory in the future!

And all of this is because of the man behind it all!

A young, wealthy, and exceptionally handsome man!

The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has come to a perfect close, amidst a media frenzy.

Gong Li won both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Actress, instantly dominating the front pages of major newspapers.

Television news also reported on it repeatedly.

Times have changed; this is no longer the impoverished period of the 80s.

Nowadays, people need entertainment, and their attention and participation are much higher.

The name of the Emperor Gong has long been known throughout the land!

As a result, the significance of Gong Li winning both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Actress this time is incomparable to that of the past!

Tang Jinshan knew this best.

Back in Beijing, the two continued to stick together, Gong Li's reputation is truly impressive.

Even with many unreasonable demands, she was happy to oblige and did her best to repay them.

I'm often drenched in sweat.

Tang Jinshan had to prepare various kinds of milk, sausages, and eggs for her to replenish the lost nutrients and energy.

However, Gong Li quickly tidied herself up and appeared in public.

They accept interviews from various media outlets and television stations.

Tang Jinshan decided to avoid making a scene and causing himself trouble.

He continued to linger in the capital.

Sun Li, Zeng Li, Xu Qing, Yu Feihong, and Li Dabai are all present.

They congratulated him in their own unique ways, celebrating this glorious moment for him.

They even fantasized that with Tang Jinshan's financial support, they might one day be able to become like Gong Li.

Of course, it's just a thought.

There can only be one Empress Gong, and they are very clear about their own qualifications.

To Tang Jinshan's surprise, another person came knocking on his door.

"Mr. Tang, congratulations! You're amazing!"

Zhang Ziyi's eyes burned with passion.

Unlike others, her ambition was written all over her face.

"Ziyi, it's been a long time."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

"Mr. Tang, you've been so busy that you haven't contacted me in a long time."

In fact, she had wanted to find Tang Jinshan during the National Day holiday.

He just never had time for me.

This time, we gave him another chance to celebrate, and of course, we couldn't miss it.
