China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 737 Award Ceremony
Beijing Exhibition Hall, the 14th Huabiao Awards ceremony.

In the backstage area, Sun Yi was being interviewed by a reporter from the film channel.

"Director Sun Yi, this is your first time attending the Huabiao Awards ceremony, how do you feel?"

"Yes, this is indeed my first time to attend the Huabiao Awards, and I am definitely very excited."

Sun Yi's answer was flawless. The reporter held the microphone, glanced at the small card in his hand, and continued to ask:
"So, Director Sun Yi, according to the information released by the committee, you are nominated for Outstanding Director, Outstanding Feature Film and even Outstanding Actor tonight. What are your expectations for these awards?"

Sun Yi leaned slightly sideways and listened carefully to the reporter's questions.

He was currently staying with Liu Yifei in the backstage area of ​​the award ceremony venue. The entire area was filled with several hundred celebrities who were attending the event.

If you grab a handful at random, you will find things that ordinary people rarely see.

The directors included Han Sanping, Huang Jianxin, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong, Jiang Wen and many more. All the famous domestic directors were present.

It's even worse for celebrities.

Gong Li, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Chen Daoming, Li Jiejian
Anyway, from the super first-tier to the first-tier, basically all of them are present.

Moreover, there was no sign of star airs from these people, not even a single assistant. Each person had a small chair, which, apart from a backrest, was no different from the tables and chairs at roadside food stalls.

The scene was in chaos. There were more than a dozen teams of reporters running back and forth to interview. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't hear the reporters' questions at all.

However, the order in which reporters visit can also clearly show the status of people in the circle.

Anyone who is included in the first wave of visits is an important figure in the circle.

Sun Yi moved closer to the microphone and raised the volume a little.

"I definitely have expectations for the award, but today there are so many seniors and outstanding colleagues here, any of them have the ability to win the award, so no matter who wins in the end, I will not be surprised. Being nominated is a kind of encouragement and affirmation to me, and I am very satisfied."

Sun Yi answered very modestly, completely putting himself in the position of a junior.

There is no way. Although his achievements are obvious to all, his age is still a disadvantage.

Especially, this is the Huabiao Awards ceremony. To be disrespectful, seniority should be put first.

Sun Yi was well aware of this, so he was ready to visit this place tonight.

Speaking of which, Sun Yi's existence also gave the organizing committee a headache.

The reason is that he has so many good works.

The Huabiao Awards, like the Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards, are held every two years.

In the last year of 09, Sun Yi had just emerged and in the view of the organizing committee, some aspects had not yet met the requirements. But in the past two years, Sun Yi has been like a genius, making great achievements in both literary and artistic films, commercial films, and even in mainstream themes.

"Hidden in the Dust" explores the attitude towards difficult life and the story of vitality by portraying a low-income couple in a rural area in Northwest China.

"Wings of the Sky" depicts two pairs of lovers in modern times and the Republic of China period, showing the Chinese nation's magnificent history of struggle. It also praises the selfless dedication of the first generation of air force personnel to the country and the nation.

"Only You" focuses on the marginalized people in the city through a seemingly trivial love story, telling a heartwarming love story of mutual redemption.

Although the rest of "Pacific Rim" is a pure commercial film, this movie has raised the technical level of Chinese films to several levels through its science fiction themes and unparalleled camera shots.

If any of these works were done by someone else, they would all be worthy of winning awards, but they are all concentrated on one person.

What’s more important is that this person is still a young man, a pure rising star, only in his twenties.

Just tell me, how embarrassing it is for those gray-haired bosses.

But Sun Yi's achievements are real, and no one can pretend not to see them.

The organizing committee spent two full days just studying Sun Yi's issue.

I don’t know how they will handle the situation after the award ceremony begins.

After the reporter finished interviewing Sun Yi, he turned the microphone to Liu Yifei.

Speaking of which, Liu Yifei's inclusion in the first wave is more or less due to Sun Yi's help.

There is a problem between the two of them, as they differ in age and qualifications.

If it were any other award, it might not be so bad, but for this Huabiao, there is nothing we can do.

Not enough. The questions asked to Liu Yifei are obviously different from those asked to Sun Yi.

"Yifei, today is also your first time to attend the Huabiao Awards, right? Are you here from the work site?"

"Uh, from home."

The reporter's questions stunned Liu Yifei.

Where did it come from?

How do you say this!

Before coming, Sun Yi reminded her that this was the Huabiao Award and she had to be careful when facing interviews.

Originally, she had already prepared various questions in her mind.

Adhere to the principles of modesty and prudence.

But what she never expected was that the reporter actually asked her where she was from!
"So what do you think of the weather in Beijing today?"

"A little. Cool."

Liu Yifei answered the reporter's questions carefully.

But throughout the whole process, the reporters seemed to be chatting with her, and the questions were very simple.

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have bothered preparing.

After the reporter finished the interview, Liu Yifei put her hands to her mouth, leaned close to Sun Yi's ear, and asked softly:
"Why do they ask me these questions?"

Liu Yifei's eyes are round and her face is full of curiosity.

Sun Yi smiled and said to her jokingly:
"Is it possible that these official reporters did their homework in advance and are afraid that your interview madness will recur?"

“Who are you talking about??!!”

The interviews in the backstage area are still going on.

Sun Yi was sitting relatively close to the front, and people would pass by from time to time, some even coming over to greet him.

"Director Sun Yi." "Director Xiao Sun."

"Hello, teacher."

"Hello, leader."

These people may not be very familiar to the audience, but they are all people of extraordinary status in the industry.

There were quite a few of them, and Sun Yi noticed that they were all accompanied by Director Han just now.

Being able to take the initiative to come over and say hello to him is also a kind of recognition of him.

Liu Yifei whispered to Sun Yi again.

She stuck out her tongue and said a little embarrassedly:

"There are so many people, some of whom I don't even know."

"It's okay, I'll tell you a good way."

Sun Yi pointed to Han Sanping, who was wearing a "cadre jacket" not far away, and said to Liu Yifei:
"No matter if you know them or not, just call them teacher if they are older than you, and call them leaders if they are wearing that kind of jacket. That will definitely be fine."

"Go, do you think I'm stupid? I don't know this!"

Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and Huabiao are the three major film awards in mainland China.

These are three permanent national art awards approved by the central government.

Their own attributes are different.

The three major film awards respectively represent the highest artistic level in my country (recognition within the industry), the highest audience recognition (mass traffic), and the highest government encouragement (political correctness).

To put it bluntly.

The Golden Rooster Award emphasizes professionalism and is a recognition within the industry, so it can also be called an expert award.

The Hundred Flowers Awards come from public vote and represent the public traffic to the greatest extent, so it can be called the audience award.

The Huabiao Award has a stronger political color, reflecting political correctness, and is a government award.

At the Golden Rooster Awards, Sun Yi's level is obvious, and he can almost be considered an expert. At the Hundred Flowers Awards, Liu Yifei's current traffic is not only unmatched, but also at the top level. However, at the Huabiao Awards, the two really need to keep a low profile.

Especially, today is the first time for both of them to attend.

However, judging from the arrangements made by the organizing committee for the two people, it is obvious that they put a lot of thought into it.

At the red carpet ceremony, the first people to walk on the stage are the younger generation, mostly actors and behind-the-scenes people.

Including Yang Mi, Wan Qian, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Songwen from Xingkong.

Then there are the backbone forces in the industry, such as Zhou Xun, Ge You, Sun Honglei, and Zhang Ziyi.

At the same time, some directors also began to appear.

Including Ning Hao, Xue Xiaolu and Yu Feihong and so on.

At the end of this part, Sun Yi brought Liu Yifei.

Judging from the order of appearance alone, Sun Yi can be regarded as the finale of this part.

Finally, there are those who are purely big shots or have very rich experience, such as Han Sanping, Chen Daoming, Zhang Yimou and so on.

The rest went directly to the first row of the inner field and did not walk the red carpet at all, such as Director Tong and a group of relevant leaders whom Sun Yi was familiar with.

Most of them will go on stage to speak before the awards ceremony.

Sure enough, waves began to come.

About an hour later, the official award ceremony began.

The first awards to be presented were for Outstanding Overseas Chinese Actors and Actresses, as well as the Director Award.

The awards were won by Wu Junru's "Time Thieves", Zhou Runfa's "Confucius", and Chen Desen's "The Besieged City" respectively.

Liu Yifei was full of doubts about these awards.

"Brother, aren't they all from Hong Kong Island? Why is it called the Overseas Chinese Award?"

In fact, Sun Yi didn’t quite understand this before.

I heard that this was a new award this year. He originally thought it was awarded to actors and related personnel such as overseas Chinese, but he didn't expect that they were all from Hong Kong Island.

Can this be considered overseas?

Sun Yi thought about the specific nature of the Huabiao Award and made some guesses in his mind.

"It may be because the Huabiao Award is a government award, which mainly promotes our social culture and rewards those who embody our social values. Except for us in mainland China, their systems are different from ours, so there is this award."

"As for why I chose the word 'overseas', I'm not sure."

Sun Yi has reservations about the word "overseas".

It's hard not to think wrongly.

Liu Yifei nodded as if she understood, but she probably still didn't quite understand it in her heart.

However, there was no time for her to think about it. During the conversation between the two, several awards had already been given out.

The outstanding new actor is Wen Zhang, for his role in "Ocean Paradise" directed by Xue Xiaolu.

The best new actress is Zhou Dongyu, who won the Best New Actress Award for her performance in Zhang Guoshi's Under the Hawthorn Tree.

The outstanding new director is Zhang Meng, The Piano in a Factory.

Liu Yifei is about to be nominated for the Outstanding Actress Award for "Only You".

Sun Yi also won one, the Outstanding Actor Award for "Wings of the Sky".

However, before coming, they both studied it and found that they could not reach the eighth level.

Just look at the competitors.

As for the actresses, there are Lü Liping's "Cool Youth", Na Renhua's "Eji", Xu Fan's "Aftershock", Qin Hailu's "The Piano in a Factory" and Gong Li's "Hidden in the Dust".

As for the male actors, there are Wang Xueqi's "The Besieged City in October", Liu Zhibing's "Flying Apsaras", Li Xingjian's "Yang Shanzhou", Ge You's "The Orphan of Zhao" and Zhang Yi's "New World".

Objectively speaking, no matter from which angle you look at it, neither Sun Yi nor Liu Yifei has an advantage.

The two had teased each other before the awards ceremony.

I'm almost going to go home with nothing tonight.

As expected, the Best Actress award went to Gong Li and Xu Fan.

The outstanding male actors are Li Xingjian and Ge You.

Because they had been mentally prepared beforehand, both of them maintained a good mentality.

They applauded the winners.

However, after a while, Liu Yifei felt a little unhappy.

"No, you also have the Director Award!"

"The winners of the 14th Outstanding Director Award are Wang Jia and Shen Dong for "Flying", Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin for "The Founding of a Republic", and Sun Yi for "Wings of the Sky."

Okay, five people went up at once.

They are all main theme themes.

Only Sun Yi's "Wings of the Sky" has some commercial attributes.

Standing on the stage, Sun Yi felt uncomfortable all over.

When he came back with the certificate, he couldn't help but complain to Liu Yifei in a low voice:

"It's better not to accept this award. It's too embarrassing."

Liu Yifei quickly glanced around at the cameras and when she found that no one was noticing them, she carefully covered her mouth with one hand and giggled at Sun Yi.

"Didn't the award say it all? It's for Outstanding Director, not Best Director. You're all excellent~"

Hiss~~~I didn’t realize you were such a smart little fellow.

That makes sense.

I waited until the final award for Outstanding Feature Film, and it was settled.

Direct super big giveaway.

"Aftershock", "The Founding of a Republic", "Flying to the Sky", "Yang Shanzhou", "Wings in the Sky", "Under the Hawthorn Tree", "The Piano in a Factory", "The Founding of a Party", "Hidden in the Dust", and "The Orphan of Zhao".

There are ten in total.

I almost couldn't stand on the podium, it was so packed.

Sun Yi did not go on stage this time. Instead, the producer from the Air Force Political Department went on stage to receive the award.

This year's Huabiao is not the so-called "double yolk egg" or "triple yolk egg".

They just sit in a row and share the fruits.

It's a great balance.

Basically, all the crews present tonight gained something.

However, despite this, after returning home in the evening, Liu Yifei still carefully placed Sun Yi's trophy in the trophy display cabinet at home.

Seeing that the representative Sun Yi had two full rows of people on his side, while there were only a few scattered on her side, Liu Yifei pinched her waist with some reluctance.

When Sun Yi saw this, he immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere and turned around to slip away, but he didn't expect that as soon as he moved, he was discovered by Liu Yifei.

"Why are you running?"

"A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Look at your eyes. You are almost ready to kill your relatives for the sake of justice."

Sun Yi replied without stopping and ran away.

"stop!"

Liu Yifei was fine at first, just a little self-pitying. After all, her brother's trophy was also her honor.

But being provoked by Sun Yi, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He rolled up his sleeves and ran after Sun Yi.

Although the apartment for two people was large, it was also limited in size, so in the end they could only confront each other around the sofa.

"Why are you chasing me?"

"Then why are you running?"

"If you chase me, of course I'll run away."

"You ran away first, so I chased you."

"Well, I'll give you all the trophies, okay?"

"No, if I want it, take it yourself!"

Seeing that there was a sofa between him and Sun Yi and he could not catch up with him, Liu Yifei made up her mind, threw away her slippers, and stepped onto the sofa barefoot.

Wow, that’s okay. After all, I chose the sofa myself, and I even remembered to take off my shoes first.

Sun Yi wanted to make a teasing remark, but then he saw Liu Yifei "climbing over" the sofa and rushing towards him.

But in the current situation, he didn't dare to hide, for fear that the girl would fall to the ground.

Although there is carpet, it still hurts.

"I surrender, I surrender."

Liu Yifei didn't have time to brake at all, and fell to the carpet with a thump as Sun Yi did.

Sun Yi's back actually bore the weight of two people, and he grimaced in pain.

"Oh~ Auntie, why? I surrender~"

Looking at Sun Yi's painful expression, Liu Yifei blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, she had even forgotten why she was chasing Sun Yi.

Although I felt sad, I also wanted to save face. It was difficult for me to admit my mistake directly, so I said this for some unknown reason.

"You didn't surrender your gun!"

"???"
