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

Chapter 99 Golden Rooster Opening

"You look beautiful, you're the most beautiful."

With a smile in his eyes, Chen Yan blurted out without thinking.

Liu Yifei chuckled, her small hands constantly rubbing the flower at her waist, as if she were trying to find something to do.

Chen Yan knew she was shy.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

Liu Xiaoli's words broke the awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Let's go." Chen Yan picked up Liu Yifei's bag, which contained some things that might be needed later. They were all bottles and jars that Chen Yan couldn't understand, but he guessed they were for touch-ups.

After getting in the car, we arrived at the designated location for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in less than half an hour.

Before even getting out of the car, people could already be seen moving around, and the media kept calling for the celebrities to turn around.

The scene was lively, with most of the entertainment industry present.

Chen Yan got out of the car first, then helped Liu Yifei down, followed by Liu Xiaoli.

After Liu Yifei's stunning entrance, she instantly caught the attention of all the media cameras present, who shoved their cameras in front of her.

After Liu Yifei greeted everyone politely, she and Chen Yan went to the edge of the red carpet.

At the time, the celebrity being photographed on the red carpet was Jiang Qinqin, who was even urged by the officials to hurry up and make room for Liu Yifei.

Jiang Qinqin looked displeased, but she could only hurriedly leave the red carpet.

Chen Yan and Liu Yifei walked onto the red carpet together from the end of the line, and the media's cameras focused on their linked arms for a while.

Chen Yan first took the pen from the hostess and signed his name in a flamboyant style on the white message board, then handed the pen to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei wrote her name next to Chen Yan's signature.

It's also an artistic style, something Liu Xiaoli had been watching her practice.

"Yifei, look here!"

Chen Yan skillfully stepped aside, leaving Liu Yifei alone on the front of the red carpet.

"Yifei, over here!"

"Smile!"

Liu Yifei was photographed like a pretty doll for three minutes before Chen Yan led her away.

As they walked down, there weren't many people around. Liu Yifei muttered to herself, "The flashes are so bright, they hurt my eyes."

Chen Yan glanced at it and comforted him, "Go back and use some eye drops."

"it is good."

Upon entering the venue, one is greeted by a multitude of industry bigwigs and star actors.

Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan sat with Fan, Ge You, and Zhang Guoli.

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping sat in the front row.

Jiang Wen was not seen.

The staff led Chen Yan to his seat, but they didn't expect the production team to be so cunning. They arranged for Chen Yan and Feng Xiaogang to sit in the same row, with only Fan in between.

When Fan Lin saw Chen Yan coming over, he nodded and greeted him politely.

Chen Yan nodded in response and then sat down.

Feng Xiaogang rolled his eyes so hard they were practically flying to the sky.

Chen Yan ignored him, but greeted Zhang Yimou in the front row, and then completely ignored Feng Xiaogang.

Zhang Yimou even turned around and chatted with Chen Yan for a couple of minutes, which made Feng Xiaogang keep grimacing.

He even complained to Ge You next to him, "What a show-off!"

Then, in my heart, I cursed the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival to the heavens. What was the point of arranging the seats like this? It was obvious that they wanted to use me and Chen Yan for publicity.

If I get a prize today, fine, but if I don't get one, ugh! I'll definitely accuse them of rigging the deal.

After Chen Yan sat down, the people around him immediately focused on him. Even if they were already seated, they would get up and pretend to pass by them casually, then greet Chen Yan, trying to become familiar with him first.

Chen Yan also gave them face, nodding in greeting to each of them.

Of course, these people didn't forget Feng Xiaogang either. After greeting Chen Yan, they went to call Feng Xiaogang as well, keeping them extremely busy.

After a while, Qin Yi and You Muchang also sat down next to Chen Yan. Today, he was nominated for not only "Broken Hearts" but also "Love," which swept various awards.

Chen Yan asked with a smile, "Teacher Qin, Teacher You, are you nervous?"

Qin Yi remained calm and composed, saying, "What's there to be nervous about?"

Although she has never won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, she is confident now. A Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award has already proven her strength. Even if she misses out on the Golden Rooster Award this time, it is the Golden Rooster Awards organizers who should be nervous.

Chen Yan nodded, gave a thumbs-up, and exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Then he turned to look at You Chang and found that he was wearing an old-fashioned suit and his hair was slicked back with shine.

When You Tichang noticed Chen Yan looking at him, he smiled shyly and said, "I'm not as calm as Teacher Qin. I'm quite nervous."

He didn't win the Cannes Best Actor award, so how could he not be nervous?

"It's alright, just think of it as coming to watch the fun," Chen Yan comforted her.

He turned and spoke to Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him.

Liu Yifei stared at Chen Yan with her big, round eyes and said, "I understand."

Today's host is Golden Rooster Award-winning actress Ni Ping.

She skillfully explained today's lottery draw process and rules, and occasionally made jokes with the audience members, enlivening the atmosphere.

"I really didn't expect the gala director to introduce me in this way, I'm very grateful."

Some say that movies are a way of remembering. Today, as I stand here and watch the films I acted in in my early years up close, more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. I look so young now, and my heart is filled with warmth and emotion.

Thanks to film, we can gather together every year in the name of the Golden Rooster Awards. Having these memories of film is a source of happiness, honor, and fortune for all filmmakers. Good evening, artists present and viewers at home!

After he finished speaking, the audience applauded in response.

The opening award was for Best Supporting Actor, which went to Feng Yuanzheng for "Beautiful Shanghai".

Feng Yuanzheng was visibly moved on stage: "Before entering the industry, I thought the Golden Rooster Award was out of reach. I thought that if I acted well, I could easily win it. I never expected that it would take me twenty years to win it. This trophy is a birthday gift I gave to my wife, Liang Danni."

Then the camera focused on Feng Yuanzheng's wife, Liang Danni, who also nodded in acknowledgment with tears in her eyes.

Ni Ping jokingly asked the two eliminated contestants in the audience, "Guo Li and Xue Qi, do you want a trophy?"

Wang Xueqi nodded, and Zhang Guoli smiled, remaining seated.

Ni Ping smiled and said, "Our national strength is stable enough that I'm not tempted at all."

However, when it came to the Best Supporting Actress award, the audience was shocked because when Cheng Pei-pei, dressed in a smart suit, went on stage to present the award, the envelope was completely blank.

Fan Taotao, Qi Huan, Ailiya, and Shen Huifen, who were selected, were all shocked.

Sitting next to Fan Jia, Feng Xiaogang immediately flew into a rage, "What do you mean?!"

In his view, "Cellphone" had already offered Fan a Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress, but she still didn't win anything.

Chen Yan wasn't surprised; wasn't that just the way Golden Rooster was?

On one hand, they seem very professional, preferring quality over quantity, but on the other hand, they have taken double standards to the extreme.

Fortunately, Yan Ni had something to do today and didn't come, otherwise she would have been destined to be a runner-up as well.

Feng Xiaogang turned his head away from Chen Yan and whispered, "Tao, don't be discouraged. None of these people can appreciate your beauty. We'll definitely win the Hundred Flowers Award."
