Who says Beijing Film Academy has no great directors? (2002)

As soon as Chen Yan sat down, someone passed by and started greeting him.

The first person to arrive was Zhang Yimou, who sat down with a kind expression and chatted with Chen Yan for a while.

He immediately said, "Xiao Chen, your drama was really great."

Chen Yan was shocked. The Imperial Advisor was indeed the Imperial Advisor. His demeanor was so dignified that he was about to crush Xin Xiangjing. Yet, when Xin Xiangjing passed by, he took the initiative to greet and talk to him, without any hesitation.

That's what you call a senior.

"Director Zhang, I was lucky. I have no regrets as long as I was able to fully express what I wanted to film." Chen Yan said very modestly.

Zhang Yimou waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's not luck. Your film has substance, it's very profound, and it's something we can learn from."

Zhang Yimou spoke at length, and after finishing, he didn't ask Chen Yan for a reply, but seemed to be lost in some kind of deep reflection.

After a while, he patted Chen Yan on the shoulder with renewed energy: "I'm going now. We can have a good chat sometime."

Chen Yan nodded in agreement, looking at Zhang Yimou's thin shoulders, finding it hard to imagine why he was so energetic.

Then, Chen Kaige, who was passing by, saw Chen Yan and simply nodded at him with great restraint and arrogance. Chen Yan shook his head helplessly, thinking, "You really shouldn't lower your head, or your crown will fall."

Director Chen still maintained his high-class demeanor; he probably wouldn't have given him that nod if he weren't a Cannes three-time Oscar-winning director.

Chen Yan looked ahead and saw Feng Xiaogang giving him a disdainful look. After realizing that Chen Yan was looking at him as well, Feng Xiaogang immediately looked away.

"Scholars have always looked down on each other," Chen Yan remarked with a sigh.

Sitting next to him, Liu Yifei looked completely bewildered. "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, just enjoy the ceremony. It'll start soon, and there are a hundred eyes watching you from all around." Chen Yan wasn't lying, of course. Almost all the media in Beijing were there, and today was the first time the Huabiao Awards had opened its red carpet to 500 audience members.

In order to keep up with the times, the Huabiao Awards chose to keep the list of winners confidential for the first time and announce it on the day of the awards ceremony, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the media and the audience.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately straightened up, looked ahead with a smile, and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Her mother had told her all this at home, telling her to behave herself, otherwise people would be criticizing her online again tomorrow.

Liu Yifei said she didn't care, but Liu Xiaoli immediately said it would cause trouble for Chen Yan, so Liu Yifei obediently agreed and stopped arguing.

"There's still a chance," Chen Yan whispered to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yan with sparkling eyes.

Before she came, Chen Yan had already prepared her: because "Love" was so outstanding, and there were many other excellent creators and films present, "Heartbreak" might not be on the list.

If I had only made one film called "Heartbreak," it would be fine, but now that the two are compared, "Heartbreak" is completely outclassed.

"Didn't you say the chances were slim?" Liu Yifei replied secretly.

"The chances are small, but there's still a chance," Chen Yan said, squinting at Liu Yifei.

This year's Huabiao Awards included market revenue, so in terms of box office, besides "Hero," who can beat "Love is Not Blind"?

However, the introduction of the award ceremony and the guests' historical connection with the Huabiao Awards took more than 20 minutes, which was too long.

Chen Yan was almost asleep when the awards ceremony was finally about to begin.

The hosts who took the stage were Chen Kun and Yan Danchen, both of whom belonged to the 96 star class.

The two of them, working in unison, brought up the first award of the Huabiao Awards: "First Prize for Outstanding Feature Film, 'The Great Waves'!"

Second Prize for Outstanding Feature Films: "Deng Xiaoping", "Love", and "CEO"!

Third Prize for Outstanding Feature Films: "The Person Who Loved Me Most in the World Is Gone," "Uncle Kurban Goes to Beijing," "Zhou Enlai's Trip to Bandung," "Together with You," and "Warm Spring"!

Chen Yan quickly complained to Liu Yifei, "Is this some kind of pork-dividing game?"

"Go quickly!" Liu Yifei said with a smile, her cute little face beaming.

"Alright, I'll go get the pork." Chen Yan lowered his eyes.

The trophy they brought back was quite nice; Chen Yan thought it looked better than the Palme d'Or.

The main body of the trophy is an upright cylindrical ornamental column, with a bas-relief dragon coiled around its body. At the top of the column stands a crouching beast, commonly known as the "Sky-gazing Hou," facing the sky with a majestic posture.

As soon as Chen Yan sat down, Liu Yifei snatched the trophy away, her eyes filled with delight.

"You can carry them all later if you like," Chen Yan said calmly, his arms crossed.

The award for Best Director was presented by Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou.

When Chen Kaige opened the envelope, he glanced at Chen Yan, then announced with Zhang Yimou: "Best Director Award: Zhai Junjie for *The Great Waves*, Yang Yazhou for *Beautiful Big Feet*!"

Zhai Junjie and Yang Yazhou happily went on stage to give their speeches.

Liu Yifei pouted slightly, "Why aren't you in it? I haven't seen either of those movies."

The implication is that this is neither famous nor profitable.

"Well, if that's the case, none of the people here are any good fighters, so all the awards should be given to me." Chen Yan started to coax the little girl, saying some nice things.

Liu Yifei chuckled, "You're so shameless..."

"Sisi! Watch out for the camera." Liu Xiaoli hadn't paid any attention to the two chatting occasionally, but they seemed to be getting more and more animated. Didn't she see the camera was pointing right at them?

"Oh." Liu Yifei immediately sat up straight, regaining her composure and composure.

After the previous award recipients finished their acceptance speeches, new award presenters came on stage: "Best Actor Award: Liu Peiqi for 'Together with You' and Lu Qi for 'Deng Xiaoping'."

At this point, Chen Yan began to vaguely sense that something was wrong. Didn't You Panchang get any double yolks?

After hearing the award winner's name, Mr. You's breath seemed to dissipate, but he remained in good spirits. Chen Yan noticed that the old man was even smiling.

It seems that after the Cannes incident, everyone has developed a tough and resilient body.

Didn't you see Qin Yi is almost asleep? No wonder she's a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress, her demeanor is so carefree.

But one sentence immediately jolted the old lady awake.

"Best Actress Award - Qin Yi for 'Love', Ni Ping for 'Beautiful Big Feet'".

"Huh? It's me again?" Qin Yi immediately put on her glasses and straightened her clothes.

"Congratulations!" Chen Yan was the first to stand up and offer his congratulations.

Qin Yi smiled and hugged Chen Yan back: "It's me who should thank you!"

After saying this, he hugged each of the people around him and slowly walked towards the podium.

Chen Yan turned to look at Liu Yifei, her eyes filled with only two words: envy!

Qin Yi walked slowly, but unexpectedly, Ni Ping on the other side of the podium quickly walked over and helped Qin Yi walk towards the podium.

To others, the scene was so beautiful that the media cameras were clicking away, practically sparking.
