Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Cheng Yuan was sleeping in the hotel when he was woken up by a phone call.

The call was from Jiang Wen, who was cursing and complaining about Jinji on the phone.

"That was expected."

Cheng Yuan remained calm after hearing this.

What can you do if you're not calm?

However, Cheng Yuan was still somewhat surprised by the results of the Golden Rooster Awards.

Cheng Long won the Best Actor award for his role in "New Police Story," beating Jiang Wen and Wang Jinsong.

The key point is that "The Hunt" lost to "Kekexili" and did not win Best Picture.

The Best Film awards remain "Kekexili" and "Taihang Mountain".

The script couldn't compete with "Zhang Side", the director couldn't compete with "We Two", and even the directorial debut couldn't compete with "Silent Mani Stone".

Surprisingly, neither "Buried" nor "The Hunt" won any awards at the Golden Rooster Awards.

How dare they?

The reputation of Beijing Film Academy isn't enough.

However, considering the Golden Rooster Awards' reputation, it doesn't seem too surprising.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Shiren, Feng Xiaogang, and others—who hasn't been swayed by the Golden Rooster Award?

"Aren't you angry?" Jiang Wen said. "There's nothing wrong with 'On the Taihang Mountains' winning Best Picture, it's a patriotic film, but the controversial film 'Kekexili' actually beat 'The Hunt' to win Best Picture, isn't that just ridiculous?"

"Even 'Peacock,' which won the Berlin Jury Prize, wasn't nominated for Best Film," Cheng Yuan said. "Director Gu Changwei didn't win Best First Feature, so it's not surprising that I didn't win this award either. As for you and Professor Wang? Doesn't the Golden Rooster Awards show some sincerity by including Hong Kong and Taiwan films in its selection this year?"

What could be more sincere than using two international film stars as a foil?

It's just that sincerity is a bit too much to handle.

"At least Lao Gu won Best Supporting Actress for that movie," Jiang Wen said. "And you? You didn't win anything. And for two movies no less. You'll be finished with the Golden Rooster sooner or later."

"Why let this affect your mood?" Cheng Yuan said with a smile. "Spending more time online should make you feel better."

Cheng Yuan doesn't believe there's no controversy online about this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

Not only is it controversial, but the level of criticism is probably greater than ever before.

Looking at the comments from movie fans online, Jiang Wen should feel a sense of "great minds think alike," which would naturally improve his mood.

Let's not even talk about the movie "Buried". The movie "The Hunt" almost won the Palme d'Or, but ended up going home empty-handed at the Golden Rooster Awards.

Are the judges blind?!

The Best Actor award was highly controversial, with two international film stars losing to Cheng Long.

This is no longer a simple upset.

Even Cheng Long admitted on stage that he hadn't expected it at all, and hadn't even thought about giving an acceptance speech.

In addition, the Best Picture award, which is naturally highly controversial, is also a contender.

The Hunting was no match for Kekexili?

Is this a joke?

You've already opened a double-yolk egg, yet you can't bear to open a triple-yolk egg?

Why is "The Hunting" not as good as "Kekexili"?

Not long after Jiang Wen hung up the phone, Wang Jingsong and Tian Zhuangzhuang also called.

They are much more civilized than Jiang Wenwen.

Perhaps he was also dissatisfied with this year's Golden Rooster Awards, but he was mostly trying to comfort Cheng Yuan.

Does Cheng Yuan need comforting?

They don't need their comfort, but some people are different.

"I'm so heartbroken, I'm so sad, I need a warm hug from you to soothe my wounded heart! Why is it that two films that have won honors at international film festivals have gone home empty-handed? The Golden Rooster Award has such a high bar..."

"Looks like you're alright."

Liu Yifei also followed the Golden Rooster Awards and, after learning the results, called Cheng Yuan to comfort him.

However, Cheng Yuan doesn't seem to need any comforting.

"Something's up," Cheng Yuan said. "The Golden Rooster Awards are really unfair."

The other person didn't speak, but instead sent a QQ message.

When Cheng Yuan opened it, he was surprised to find a "hug" emoji.

"this one?"

Cheng Yuan was both amused and exasperated.

"Otherwise what?"

"This 'hug' isn't warm at all."

"Then there's nothing I can do, I'm not even in the country right now."

"Does that mean you can stay in the country?"

You're overthinking it.

"I only want you, how is that too much?"

......

After finishing his phone call with Liu Yifei, Cheng Yuan went back to sleep.

There has been a great deal of controversy surrounding this year's Golden Rooster Awards online, as has the media.

However, compared to the Golden Horse Awards, the Golden Rooster Awards still receive less attention these days.

The next day, Cheng Yuan walked onto the Golden Horse Awards stage.

"Director Feng!"

Cheng Yuan ran into Feng Xiaogang as soon as he entered the venue.

Cheng Yuan did not know whether he had attended in his previous life.

However, "A World Without Thieves" was indeed nominated for many awards at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

"Director Cheng."

Feng Xiaogang nodded and greeted him.

Although he works for Huayi, he hasn't had any conflicts with Cheng Yuan yet.

The two had also drunk alcohol at a dinner party hosted by Jiang Wen's group.

Of course, you wouldn't say they have a very good relationship.

But since we've run into each other here, we should at least say hello.

After a brief chat, Cheng Yuan took Jiang Wu to greet other people they knew.

For example, Du Qifeng, Hou Xiaoxian, etc.

We had crossed paths before in Cannes.

He then found his seat and sat down.

The awards ceremony began soon after.

The first awards presented are naturally those that receive less attention; this applies not only to the Golden Horse Awards but also to other awards.

Cheng Yuan's nomination for Best Editing went to "Crossroads".

"The Hunt" failed to get off to a good start.

Subsequently, the Best Newcomer award was won by Jay Chou, which was expected.

That little girl, Li Landi, didn't even come.

Then, the Best Original Screenplay award was taken away by "Election".

The Best Adapted Screenplay award went to "A World Without Thieves," and Cheng Yuan will also be competing against it for Best Film.

However, the biggest competitor for this award should be "Kung Fu Hustle".

The biggest competitor for Best Director should also be Stephen Chow, the director of "Kung Fu Hustle".

The Best Supporting Actor award goes to Kang Oh for *The Hunt*!

The award presenter, Aaron Kwok, announced the winners.

Cheng Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled.

He actually stole the Best Supporting Actor award from Anthony Wong.

I must say, well done.

"Congratulations!"

Cheng Yuan got up and hugged Jiang Wu.

"Thanks......"

Jiang Wu was still quite excited when he went on stage to accept the award.

However, unlike some award winners, his acceptance speech was not incoherent or tearful.

The acceptance speeches also had a somewhat "formulaic" feel to them.

Next up is Best Actress, which, just like in the previous life, was won by Shu Qi for "The Best Time".

Next up is the Best Actor award.

Besides Liang Jiahui, Guo Fucheng, Zhang Zhen and Chen Kun, who were already shortlisted in their previous lives, there is also Wang Jinsong.

However, in the end, it was no different from my previous life.

Aaron Kwok won the Best Actor award at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Jiang Wu glanced at Cheng Yuan subconsciously, but Cheng Yuan just smiled and joined the crowd in applauding.

The Cannes Best Actor award is hardly prestigious; he failed to win Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards and the Golden Horse Awards.

However, if Wang Jinsong were to attend, it's uncertain whether he would win an award.

Just like in his previous life, Chow Sing-chi defeated Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tsai Ming-liang, Tu Chi-feng, and Cheng Yuan to win the Best Director award at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

And what about Best Picture?
