Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

Chapter 94 "Little Girlfriend", Awards Ceremony

"I didn't think this through enough—"

Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Xiaoming's movie was later recast with another mainland actress, and it was just released in Taiwan and mainland China last month, but the box office performance was not very good.

The film grossed less than 10 yuan in mainland China and less than 100 million NT dollars in Taiwan, failing to even recoup its costs.

If Xu Heng hadn't appeared so sincere at that moment, he would have thought that Xu Heng had come specifically to confront him and demand an explanation.

Clearly, as a director, Xu Heng is perfectly capable of promoting his own "young girlfriend," so his actions were unnecessary.

Although Xu and Liu Yifei have never admitted it, many people have already accepted their relationship.

At least at this moment, he expressed his gratitude and apology on behalf of Liu Yifei, and Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't feel there was anything inappropriate about it.

"How could that be? After all, she's the female lead in a movie; it's a pretty good opportunity for Iphie—"

Xu Heng was polite again.

Tian Zhuangzhuang could only give another awkward laugh.

At this moment, Zheng Dongtian interjected, "Xu, I wonder if you have any plans to pursue further studies after graduation? If so, you could apply to Professor Tian's graduate program first, and then apply to my doctoral program. I think Professor Tian would definitely not refuse."

Tian Zhuangzhuang also looked at Xu Heng.

He doesn't care whether he becomes Xu Heng's teacher or not, but he would definitely welcome Xu if he wants to apply for his graduate program and would provide Xu with as much convenience as possible within reasonable limits.

"Professor Zheng, let's forget about that. I've been studying for so many years and I can finally stop going to school. You should let me enjoy myself for a few years first!"

Xu Heng joked.

If it weren't for activating the system and his parents' hope that he could get into a good university...

Let alone the Beijing Film Academy, he doesn't even really want to go to university, let alone pursue further studies.

He was also very clear about his artistic talent, and further studies would not be of much help to him.

Moreover, joining a circle has its advantages, but it also has many disadvantages, so it's not really necessary for him.

"That's such a shame—"

Zheng Dongtian shook his head. How could he not tell that Xu looked down on them, these old guys, and might not even look down on the "Beijing Film Academy system"? At least he didn't want to get too involved with them.

Just like Zhang Yimou, who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, he always prefers to cast actors from the Central Academy of Drama!

He suggested that Xu Heng apply to Tian Zhuangzhuang's graduate program and his doctoral program, which was essentially equivalent to hoping that Xu Heng could formally join their "Beijing Film Academy Department".

He even thought that with the support of their "Beijing Film Academy system," coupled with Xu Heng's own abilities and talents, they would be able to achieve great success.

Perhaps their "Beijing Film Academy system" will be able to develop into a Beijing Film Academy circle like the Beijing Film Academy circle and the Northwest Film Academy circle in the future!

However, Xu Heng's reasoning was very reasonable. He was still so young, with such outstanding qualities, and a film director who had won the annual box office champion. Of course, after graduation, he should go to the entertainment industry to see and experience it, especially to see and experience the female stars in the entertainment industry!

Moreover, his "young girlfriend" will be around adulthood by then.

Even if he doesn't go looking for other female celebrities, isn't being with that "young girlfriend" much freer and happier than being at school?

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Heng took his leave.

Gu Changwei had already made an excuse to leave, so Xu Heng naturally didn't care.

But just then, he suddenly felt a very unfriendly gaze.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was indeed Feng Xiaogang, nicknamed "Little Cannon," with the two kings from Huayi Group standing beside him.

The Chinese box office of "Cell Phone" ultimately surpassed that of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." In other words, without his "Cell Phone," the box office would have been much higher.

"Our Times" was last year's highest-grossing film in mainland China, which was Feng Xiaogang's "Cellphone".

As one of the three major directors in mainland China, Feng Xiaogang's achievements in awards have always lagged behind the other two, especially in international awards. Therefore, he cares more about box office performance, and the title of the highest-grossing director in mainland China in a year is definitely very prestigious.

As for Wayi, there is a natural conflict between them and Xu, and there is basically no possibility of reconciliation. The same goes for the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles.

If they're not one of us, then they're definitely outsiders, and perhaps we don't want to join them.

Therefore, he didn't care about Hua Yi either. He would deal with whatever came his way, and he was definitely not the type to be targeted without fighting back!

At approximately 3:50 PM, Xu and his entourage boarded a vehicle arranged by the organizing committee and headed to the Beijing Exhibition Center, the venue for the awards ceremony.

At 4:20, all the guests arrived.

At 4:30, the red carpet ceremony began, with the first stage featuring the appearance of veteran film artists.

The first person to walk the red carpet was Tian Hua, who is 76 years old this year and once served as the head of the August First Film Studio Actors Troupe.

Subsequently, veteran artists such as Xie Tieli, Xie Jin, Yu Lan, Wang Xiaotang, Yu Yang, Ge Cunzhuang, and Huang Suying took the stage one after another and collectively greeted the audience.

The second stage is the appearance of the director and behind-the-scenes staff, with the entire crew of "The Great Man Goes to Anyuan" appearing first.

After walking the red carpet, director Kang Jianming and Wang Ying, who played the great man, gave a brief interview to reporters.

Next up is the crew of "Taiwanese Past Events," directed by Zheng Dongtian.

The production team of "Delamu", director Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli, a married couple.

Gu Changwei had no works nominated for this year's Huabiao Awards, nor was he nominated himself. However, his wife, Jiang Wenli, received a nomination for Best Actress for her role in "Taiwanese Story".

The crew of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", director He Ping.

Several more film crews walked the red carpet, and finally it was Xu Heng's "Our Times" crew's turn. Sun Haidong and the others were very excited as it was their first time walking the red carpet.

The third stage features film and television stars, such as Hendrik Willem Van Loon and his son Jaycee Chan, Zhang Ziyi who specially returned from the United States, and Little Swallow making her first official appearance after the assault incident.

The most outrageous thing is that Li Xiang and Qin Hailu, who were previously involved in a love triangle with "Diamond King" Li Houlin, actually appeared together this time, chatting and laughing.

I don't know if they've really made up or if they're just trying to attract attention.

Sina Entertainment also provided full live coverage of the red carpet ceremony with photos and text, and the comment section was very lively!

"Teacher Tian Hua was the first to walk the red carpet, with a full head of silver hair, she had such a great presence. A salute to the older generation of artists!"

"Little Swallow! Little Swallow! We will always support you! The pink dress is so pretty, keep it up!"

"From the military flag incident to beating a pregnant woman, I can't believe so many people still like Little Swallow!"

"Jackson Yee and Jaycee Chan, father and son, both looked so stylish in their Zhongshan suits! Support for domestic films!"

"Zhang Weijian's pink suit is hilarious! He truly is the king of comedy; he brings joy wherever he goes!"

"Li Ming is so handsome! When will he make another movie? Looking forward to his new work!"

"Liu Ye and Zhang Ziyi appeared together, and the cheers from the audience were huge! Liu Ye is so handsome!"

"Zhang Ziyi's dark green dress was absolutely stunning. Making a grand entrance as the last one standing out really makes a difference; she exuded confidence and charisma!"

"I think Xu Heng is the most handsome, especially when he's wearing sunglasses, he looks absolutely cool!"

"Xu Heng walked the red carpet with the cast of 'Our Times,' and it felt like he was from a completely different world from everyone else!"

"It's a pity Liu Yifei wasn't here today; otherwise, walking the red carpet with Xu Heng would have been quite a sight!"

"Liu Yifei is a US citizen and is not eligible to apply for the Huabiao Award!"

"Who says you can't attend an awards ceremony if you're not eligible to register? What about these Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities?"

"Whether Liu Yifei attends the awards ceremony or not is her own business. Fan Binbin was even nominated, but he still didn't come today!"

At the same time, Liu Yifei was also watching the live stream in the live broadcast room.

She had asked Xu if she wanted to attend the awards ceremony, but Xu said it wasn't necessary, so she didn't go.

She admitted that she was indeed a bit arrogant. Since she didn't even have the qualifications to register, wasn't it right for her not to participate?

And the sunglasses Xu Heng is wearing today are a gift she gave him to thank him for teaching her acting when she left the crew after filming "The Story of a Noble Family".

Today is also the first time Xu Heng has worn these sunglasses!

The red carpet ceremony finally ended around 7 p.m., and all the guests entered the theater.

The awards ceremony officially began at 7:30 p.m. After the host's opening remarks, there was an opening cultural performance, during which Jaycee Chan also took the stage to sing the title track "Walking and Singing" from his new album.

Next, the leader of the General Administration delivered a speech, after which the awards ceremony began.

The first award was for Outstanding Animated Film, which was won by "The Mischievous Princess Ma" and "The Butterfly Lovers".

Then came the award for outstanding documentary, which was given to "Potala Palace," "We Are United as One," and "Approaching Great Men."

The Outstanding Science and Education Film Award was given to five films, including "Protecting Farmland".

The Best New Actress Award was won by Liang Jing for her role in "Police Story".

Fan Binbin was also nominated for this award for his role in "Cellphone," but did not win. He didn't even attend today's awards ceremony, clearly indicating that he already knew the result.

Xu Heng won the Best New Actor in a Film Award, and he was the only person nominated for this award.

Xu Heng went on stage to accept the award and sang the theme song of his new movie, "Those Years."

Xu Heng won the Best New Film Director Award again.

Also winning the award was Liu Xin, the director of "Thirty-Eight Degrees," and the two of them were the only nominees for this award.

The award for Best Original Film Song went to "Smile," the theme song from the film "Thirty-Eight Degrees," which was performed on stage by Tao Hong, the film's lead actress.

This is the older Tao Hong, not the younger Tao Hong who just married Xu Guangtou last year.

The Outstanding Digital Film Award was won by "Dram," the only film nominated, and director Tian Zhuangzhuang went on stage to accept the award.

The Market Development Award was jointly won by "Our Times" and "Cellphone," and Xu Heng and Feng Xiaogang went on stage together to accept the award.

After awarding several more prizes, it was time for the grand prize.

First, the Best Actress Award was shared by Ju Xue, the lead actress in "The Brilliant Season," and Jiang Wenli, the lead actress in "Taiwanese Past."

The Best Actor award was won by Zhou Xiaobin, the male lead in "Unforgettable", and Liu Wei, the male lead in "The Mystery of the Loyal Soul".

The Best Director Award was won by Huo Jianqi, director of "Warm," and Zheng Dongtian, director of "Taiwanese Past."

Finally, there's the Best Feature Film award. A total of 16 films were nominated, and 10 films ultimately won, including "Our Times"!
