Chapter 245 Director Lu Chen’s influence!

"Director Lu!" Chen Long came over quickly, "Your arrival will bring the popularity of this Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award to a new level."

Lu Chen was at the entrance of the Grand Theater just now.

Chen Long was behind and saw how popular Director Lu was.

All spectators, including reporters, gathered around the landing guide.

Of all the guests here today, none of them are half as popular as Director Lu.

In the past two years in the global film industry, director Lu Chen is definitely the one who is in the limelight, conquering not only the Chinese film industry, but also the world film industry.

A Chinese animated film "Kung Fu Panda" brought China to the attention of the world.

"Kung Fu Panda" has even gathered the top Chinese movie stars. You can say, "Kung Fu Panda" is a great gift to the Chinese film industry and a gift to the world film industry.

The whole world started to pay attention to everything about China because of "Kung Fu Panda", and the biggest credit here is Director Lu who created all the characters in "Kung Fu Panda".

This also made director Lu Chen sought after and admired by mainland audiences.

"Brother Long!" Liu Yifei greeted.

Just some time ago, I collaborated with Chen Long on "The King of Kung Fu".

In the future, there will be another collaborative work, "The Wandering Earth", directed by Shige himself.

"Yifei, the best actress tonight must be you." Chen Long dared to say such words, and it was Liu Yifei's performance in "Young You" that was particularly amazing.

It was well received by audiences and critics alike.

"Better Days" is not just an ordinary movie. It draws society's attention to campus bullying incidents, greatly reduces campus bullying and saves many students.

Therefore, it would be unjustifiable if the Best Actress was not awarded to Liu Yifei.

The three actresses nominated together with Liu Yifei, including Zhang Ziyi for "House of Flying Daggers", together did not receive as high a voice as Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei contributed a wonderful performance in "Young You".

Even in the movie, she sacrificed her image. An actress who is called a fairy cut off her long hair for the movie, which is definitely worthy of praise.

Many film critics, regarding this matter and their great affirmation of Liu Yifei, say that in Chinese-language films nowadays, actors pay too much attention to their image and are unwilling to sacrifice for the sake of the film.

Liu Yifei's sacrifice in "Young You" will definitely change this phenomenon in the film industry, allowing actors to work harder for the film and create more excellent works.

"Thank you, Brother Long, but it hasn't been announced yet, so we don't know who the flower will be." It hasn't been announced yet, and Liu Yifei can't guarantee it.

"Yifei, I think it must be yours." Chen Long clenched his fists and cheered Liu Yifei, and then chatted with Lu Chen, "Director Lu, you made the Golden Rooster popular last year, and you want to make it popular again this year. Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award."

Because of Director Lu Chen's participation, many top Chinese film stars also came to participate in this edition of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.

"Brother Long, if you keep boasting, the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award will be founded by me." Lu Chen joked.

Chen Long laughed when he heard this, "Although you didn't create it, Director Lu, you brought our Chinese Film Festival to a new level, Director Lu."

Who is Director Lu?

He was the youngest winner in the history of the Golden Bear and Palme d'Or.

Academy Award for Best Director, winner of three awards: Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.

Winner of the Golden Rooster, Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards for Best Director at the Chinese Film Festival.

There are also many international awards, and there are countless awards.

It can indeed be said that Director Lu, who is full of honors, is an honor for the organizing committee to participate in the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award.

"Brother Long, it's getting late, let's go in." Lu Chen, Liu Yifei, and the creative team of "Young You" followed Chen Long and his group into the infield.

Present today are the crews of "Better Days", "House of Flying Daggers", "Kung Fu", "Fearless", "New Police Story" and other film crews.

Many of the guests present were also acquaintances of Lu Chen.

"House of Flying Daggers" is directed by Zhang Yingmou and the film's heroine is Zhang Ziyi.

The movie "Fearless" stars Jet Li and other Chinese actors.

……

"Director Lu, please come forward." The staff of the organizing committee led Lu Chen to the first row of seats and took his seat.

Sitting next to Lu Chen, Liu Yifei greeted the movie bigwigs in the first row, her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, but she felt a little nervous in her heart, fearing that she would pass by the best actress.

"Director Lu, I thought you couldn't enter the infield from outside." Han Shanping, who was sitting in the first row, joked with Lu Chen, who had just sat down.

When Han Shanping arrived just now, he noticed that countless spectators and reporters were surrounding Director Lu at the door.

Who made "Kung Fu Panda" directed by Director Lu become a global hit? It greatly improved the status of Chinese-language movies in the world and allowed the world to understand Chinese culture and poetry through a movie.

He single-handedly saved domestic animated films.

Nowadays, those working in animated films in the Mainland regard Director Lu Chen as their savior and their biggest idol, and they are all proud to have joined the Mars Film and Television (Animation) Company.

Today, Mars Film and Television (Animation) has become the largest private animation production company in China.

"Mr. Han, you see, come over and help me share the pressure." Lu Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Han, you are our No. 1 Chinese-language film and the largest producer of mainland films."

Han Shanping waved his hand, "Director Lu, my platform has made me what I am, and you have created the platform. You and I cannot be compared. Besides, I am not well-known. Everyone in the film industry knows me, but outside audiences know me." I only know that there is Han Shanping, but I don’t know whether he is fat or thin, tall or short.”

There are still very few people Han Shanping admires.

Director Lu Chen definitely counts as one.

At the age of less than 30, he has already won awards from major film festivals around the world, and his movies have been both well received and sold.

Chinese-language films are now gaining so much attention around the world, and director Lu Chen must definitely take half of the credit.

"Mr. Han doesn't appear in many works, so few viewers know you." Lu Chen, like Han Shanping, made a joke of his own, "If I had known, I wouldn't have acted in the past and would have been a behind-the-scenes person, so the audience would also Don’t recognize me anymore.”

Han Shanping laughed when he heard this, "Director Lu, you have to appear in a work when you have time. Many fans hope that you will come from behind the scenes to the front of the screen again. As for Director Lu, even if you don't appear in the work, the audience will still know you. You Many of the major film festivals you participated in were broadcast live, and the audience saw your handsome face on the TV."

"That being said, I can't participate in the film festival. I have to remain mysterious so that the audience doesn't know what I look like." Lu Chen said seriously.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

People in the back row were curious about what Han Shanping was talking about with Director Lu Chen.

Both of them are godfather-level figures in the mainland film industry.

I'm afraid all we're talking about are big movies and big projects.

Of course they didn't know, the two of them were just joking at this moment, and they didn't talk about anything serious.

Just when the guests were chatting.

Music blared.

Host Zhang Guoli stepped out from behind the scenes, marking the official start of the 28th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony.

At the Chinese Film Festival, the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films have been awarded alternately every other year since 2005. The Golden Rooster Award, which is awarded by a professional jury in odd years, and the Hundred Flowers Award, which is based on audience voting, are awarded in even years.

Since 2005, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers have officially separated.

Lu Chen also participated in last year's Golden Rooster Awards, which happened to be the [-]th anniversary of the birth of Chinese-language films. It was quite a big event at that time, and almost all well-known filmmakers in the Chinese-language film industry participated.

Lu Chen also won the Golden Rooster Award last year and became the biggest winner with his directed works. Chen Long also became the first Xiangjiang actor to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.

Last year's Golden Rooster Awards was also the highlight of the mainland film festival. Lu Chen participated with several excellent works, including the best actresses and actresses from Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, and Hollywood stars such as Leonardo.

Because of Lu Chen alone, the Golden Rooster Award became the most watched Chinese film festival at that time.

That's why the organizing committee of this year's Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards had invited director Lu Chen to participate a long time ago to increase attention.

This year's Hundred Flowers Awards, after being separated from the Golden Rooster Awards, also reformed the way of awarding. 99 representatives of the audience judges finally represented the public and selected the winners through on-site voting.

The average age of the final audience judges is 37.68 years old, of which 60.4% are men and 39.6% are women; 80 people have a college degree or above, accounting for 79.2% of all judges. The judges come from all walks of life.

In addition to letter voting and mobile phone voting, the Hundred Flowers Award has also added online voting and voice and phone voting.

However, as the Hundred Flowers Awards later developed, it became about who was more famous, who won the award, who had more fans, and who had the upper hand in voting. Later, its influence was completely inferior to that of the Golden Rooster Award. "This year's Hundred Flowers Awards are as lively as the Golden Rooster Awards, with many filmmakers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places coming." Host Zhang Guoli looked at the audience.

Finally, my eyes fell on Lu Chen in the first row, "Especially Director Lu, who is busy working in the United States, took time out of his busy schedule to return to China to participate in the Hundred Flowers Awards. On behalf of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards Organizing Committee, I would like to thank Director Lu for coming. "

"Clap!"

There was warm applause from the audience.

The movie channel camera under Yang Ma also pointed at Lu Chen, and took a five-second close-up shot.

Lu Chen smiled and waved to the audience behind the camera.

Don't want to be high-profile.

But now he represents traffic.

I participated in it myself and was highly publicized by the Hundred Flowers Award organizing committee.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't say anything. He also hoped that his fame would increase the influence of the Chinese Film Festival, instead of being overshadowed by the Golden Statue in Xiangjiang and the Golden Horse Award in Baodao.

The host on the stage interacted with Lu Chen for a while to increase the ratings, and then started the guest performance session before the award ceremony.

The guest performers also include many artists from Mars Film and Television.

This is also an opportunity for Lu Chen to show his face to Mars Film and Television artists. As long as there is a good chance to show his face, Lu Chen will fight for the company's artists.

They pursue their dreams and join Mars Film and Television, but they must also be given the opportunity. If the opportunity is given to them, whether they can become popular depends on luck and their personal strength.

After the performance is over, there will be an exciting awards ceremony.

In the 28th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, there were quite a few awards, only Best Director, Best Feature Film, Excellent Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Newcomer Eight awards.

There were few awards established at that time, and the Hundred Flowers Award had little influence.

Unexpectedly, a Chinese-speaking director Lu Chen has emerged. With his extremely high popularity and excellent films, he has increased the influence of mainland film festivals. Now the Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards are discussing the possibility of adding more awards in the future.

Because director Lu Chen is participating, there will be no shortage of filmmakers and films participating in the film festival. If there are too few awards, not most of the participating films will be disappointed.

The 28th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award was first awarded to the Best Supporting Actress.

The award ceremony is no longer about giving envelopes, it is announced by the award guest.

Instead, the large screen behind the stage displays the number of votes each candidate has received, and the voting is done by the audience judges who are finally selected.

In the voting for Best Supporting Actress, Yuan Qiu, who played the housekeeper in the movie "Kung Fu", took the lead.

"Clap!"

There was lively applause at the scene, and Yuan Qiu went on stage to receive the award.

Since the Golden Rooster Awards were reformed and Xiangjiang and Formosa films were allowed to participate, filmmakers from Xiangjiang and Formosa have won awards at the Golden Rooster Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Of course, the Best Supporting Actress was awarded to the charterer in "Kung Fu", which is well deserved. Yuan Qiu's performance in "Kung Fu" was indeed wonderful and will remain fresh in people's memory.

Next is Best Supporting Actor, Nicholas Tse in "New Police Story" won.

Wait until the Best Supporting Actor award is over.

It's the best newcomer.

The award presenters are Ge You and Zhang Ziyi.

"The competition for the best newcomer this year is quite strong. All of them are excellent new actors. It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. Our Chinese film industry has produced a large number of talents." Ge You looked at the screen showing the selection, and when he was talking , deliberately using the tone of dubbing "Kung Fu Panda".

The guests in the audience all heard this and applauded enthusiastically.

Almost all the guests in the audience went to the cinema to watch "Kung Fu Panda".

Including those watching the live broadcast behind the TV, most of them have watched "Kung Fu Panda" and are very familiar with the tone of "Master Oogway" voiced by Ge You.

Mainland audiences now praise Master Oogway as a master of modern literature.

The lines spoken by Master Turtle in "Kung Fu Panda" are so high-end that they are regarded as classics by young people.

Ge You, the voice actor of "Master Oogway" in "Kung Fu Panda", has picked out all the classic lines he said in previous movies.

Ge You is now very popular among young people.

"Teacher Ge You, no, it should be Master Wu Gui. I particularly agree with what you said." When Zhang Ziyi said this, she clasped her hands together in a salute. Her bowing movements were extremely standard, just like a heroine of a generation.

"You're welcome, Qiao Xiaolong." Ge You mentioned the character Zhang Ziyi voiced in "Kung Fu Panda".

Zhang Ziyi also became famous again because of "Kung Fu Panda".

The character Qiao Xiaolong she dubs has the same name as Yu Jiaolong in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It is a kind of tribute and reminds the audience of Zhang Ziyi's graceful figure in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" .

"Master Wugui, have you noticed that the four winners of the best newcomer are all related to Director Lu of "Kung Fu Panda"?" Zhang Ziyi looked at the winners displayed on the screen.

Four new actors.

Sun Li's "Huo Yuanjia", Huang Shengyi's "Kung Fu", Zhang Ruoyun's "Young You", Wen Guiyu's "Life and Death Niu Yuru".

Sun Li is an artist from Mars Film and Television, and Zhang Ruoyun is the same. The nominated movie "Young You" was directed by Director Lu himself. Huang Shengyi is Director Lu's school girl. They met and dealt with each other at the Peking Film Academy. Wen Guiyu is also a student of the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy.

"Xiao Zhang, you and I are also related to Director Lu, and we can both act in Director Lu's works." Ge You took out Lu Chen to chat for a while, and then began to announce the winner of the best newcomer.

At this time, the screen displays the voting results of the public judges.

Zhang Ruoyun from "Young You" received the highest number of votes.

Zhang Ruoyun, who was in the back row, stood up excitedly, waved his fist vigorously, and hugged his father who was also present next to him, hugging each other and crying excitedly.

"Clap!"

There was warm applause at the scene.

Zhang Ruoyun belongs to the Mars family and is a person under Director Lu. The award-winning film was directed by Director Lu himself, so he must be warmly applauded and congratulated.

"The 28th Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films, winner of the Best Newcomer." Ge You looked at the winners displayed on the screen and said loudly: ""Young You", Zhang Ruoyun!"

At this time, Zhang Ruoyun calmed down his excitement a little, came to the stage, took the trophy, and bowed to express his gratitude to teachers Ge You and Zhang Ziyi.

Ge You motioned to come to the microphone and delivered his acceptance speech.

Zhang Ruoyun tightly held the trophy for the best newcomer, looked at the guests in the audience, and took a deep breath, "First of all, I would like to thank the 101 public judges of the Hundred Flowers Awards for their recognition of me and "Youth in Youth", and my parents for their recognition of me." Thank you for your support in performing your career.”

There was warm applause from the audience.

"And I want to express my deep gratitude to one person, my Bole, my mentor, my big boss Director Lu." Zhang Ruoyun bowed deeply in front of Lu Chen sitting in the first row, "If it weren't for Lu The director chose me to star in "Young You", but there was no way I would stand on the stage of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards..."

I thanked Director Lu for more than two minutes.

Ge You and Zhang Ziyi didn't interrupt either. After all, Director Lu represented the enthusiasm. This is something the organizing committee also wanted to see. They wished that every award had something to do with Director Lu.

"Thank you all." After Zhang Ruoyun said his words of thanks, he walked off the stage with the trophy. When he passed the first row, he bowed to Lu Chen again to express his gratitude.

Zhang Ruoyun knew that if it weren't for Director Lu, he would still be an actor not very famous in the television industry.

Now he is a well-known actor in the film industry, and will star in Director Lu's new work "The Wandering Earth", starring again with Liu Yifei, the most popular of the four little actresses. Zhang Ruoyun is very grateful to Director Lu Chen for his promotion and appreciation.

Of course, I am also under a lot of pressure. Director Lu's works have very high requirements. If the performance is not good, he will be scolded to death. If it is serious, he will have to be replaced. If Director Lu is replaced, almost no one will dare to use him again in the future.

So now Zhang Ruoyun is reading the script of "The Wandering Earth" every day and is fully devoted to his role in the movie, hoping to perfectly play the role in the movie.

After the best newcomer award is given out, it will be the best actress.

The presenters were director Lu Chen and actress Yang Mi.

"Director Lu, Miss Yang Mi, come on up, the best actress is waiting for you to present the award." Host Zhang Guoli looked at Lu Chen in the first row.

And Yang Mi was able to be the award presenter, firstly because of her role as the heroine of "Transformers", which is very popular, and secondly because she is an actor of the Martian series.

"Director Lu~" Yang Mi in the back row quickly caught up with Lu Chen, holding hands intimately, and walked onto the stage with Lu Chen.

I was quite envious of Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei had always sat in the first row with Director Lu. Yang Mi also wanted to become Director Lu's female companion one day and sit in the first row with Director Lu.

 It’s January again, thank you guys for your support!grateful!
