During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 490 The unexpected final outcome at the awards ceremony

It was already a bit cool in Taiwan at the end of November, and a light rain had just fallen, adding a touch of chill.

After walking the red carpet, Jing Tian took the coat handed to her by her assistant, held Wei Jin's hand, and followed the staff's guidance to the inside of the venue.

As we all know, the seating arrangements at various award ceremonies have always been based on the type of people who attend. This is especially common in China.

However, given Wei Jin's current status, he is definitely a heavyweight guest, so the seat he was assigned was also very good, in the middle of the second row, on the left, with Cheng Long and Li Bingbing on his right.

Wei Jin took Jing Tian's hand and walked inside, sitting next to Cheng Long.

"Brother, we meet again."

"Director Wei, Tiantian, what a fate! Bingbing and I are presenting the Best Actress awards tonight. I hope to hand the trophy to you personally."

Cheng Long looked at Wei Jin and Jing Tian holding hands, and a smile that all men understand appeared on his face.

"Oh? What a coincidence, thank you for your kind words, big brother."

Wei Jin responded with a smile, and then greeted Li Bingbing.

"Sister Bingbing, long time no see. The fighting scenes in Resident Evil 5 are great."

Wei Jin rarely praised Li Bingbing. In addition to the fact that Li Bingbing's professional ability was indeed good, he was more impressed by her firm stance and decisive character.

Some time ago, because of an incident on a certain island, Li Bingbing directly rejected the promotion of "Resident Evil 5" in Japan, and spoke publicly in foreign media, firmly safeguarding national interests.

Even though he was attacked badly in the end, I have to say it was a beautiful job!
"Thank you for the compliment, President Wei. I also wish you all the best tonight."

"Thank you."

After many years, Wei Jin participated in the Chinese Film Festival again, and he almost couldn't get used to the opening performance.

However, it was quite novel to see Jay Chou, who just got a mixed-race girlfriend last year, singing "Secret" on stage with his other rumored girlfriend Gui Lunmei.

"Brother, Gui Lunmei wore the same clothes as someone else on the red carpet just now. Luckily she changed now, otherwise it would be so embarrassing."

Tonight's award ceremony was broadcast live online. Jing Tian had been checking his phone since entering the venue. When he saw Gui Lunmei, he couldn't help but come over to gossip about her.

"Haha, what's so strange about this?"

Wei Jin was not surprised by this, as it was too normal in the circle.

Red carpet queen Fan Bingbing has encountered many such things. According to media statistics, she and Shu Qi have worn the same clothes at award ceremonies of all sizes more than a dozen times, and they can be called lifelong enemies.

While the two were talking, the guests on the stage changed. Ye Qianwen, Luo Dayou and others took the stage to perform one by one.

As the opening show ended, Huang Bo and Zeng Baoyi, with their unique looks, came on stage again, and the award ceremony officially began.

As we all know, the procedures of all award ceremonies are similar, and small prizes are awarded at the beginning.

Best Animated Feature Film, Best Documentary Film, Best Short Film, Best Sound Effects.
However, after presenting a few awards, Wei Jin raised his wrist, looked at it, and frowned.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Jing Tian tilted his head, somewhat confused.

"Tiantian, don't you think the process is too fast?"

Generally speaking, the presentation of an award should last between 5 and 8 minutes, including the jokes of the host and presenters, as well as the winners' speeches.

With some performances interspersed, the award ceremony can last for three hours.

However, the previous award presenters obviously did not communicate well and went straight to announcing the prizes. The speeches of the winners were also very brief, so that in just over ten minutes, five or six prizes were announced.

You know, there are only more than 20 awards in the Golden Horse Awards. If you start so fast at the beginning, how will you play later?
After being reminded, Jing Tian suddenly realized: "It seems so, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, the organizing committee will definitely find a way to save the situation and make up for it later."

As he said this, Wei Jin turned his head and glanced at Cheng Long.

If nothing unexpected happens, the award presenters and winners will be asked to delay a little longer.

Wei Jin guessed correctly. Starting from the Best Editing Award, the host began to deliberately delay the time.

At this moment, Huang Bo pulled the award-winning editor of "Detective Hunter Zhang" to talk about technical issues, which stunned Zeng Baoyi on the side. Is it possible to play like this?
The editor was also a very honest person. He chatted awkwardly with Huang Bo for six or seven minutes, which made the people in the audience feel a little uncomfortable.

In the end, Huang Bai couldn't continue the topic and had no choice but to let the person go.

For the next music award, Huang Bo relied on his background as a singer and argued with the winner for a few minutes, but his good luck ended there.

Huang Bai really has nothing to talk about when it comes to awards in the action, art, and modeling categories.

"Brother Bo got what he wanted this time, haha."

Jing Tian recalled Huang Bo's confident look in the red carpet waiting area and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The award ceremony is still going on, and the Best Adapted Screenplay Award was given to "Love Is Not Blind".

When Bao Jingjing came on stage, she was still a little dazed and stumbled as she delivered her acceptance speech.

As expected, Huang Bai pulled her aside to talk about the Shanhe Media screenwriting department.

"Jingjing, you're going to get a promotion when you go back, right?"

Facing Huang Bo's ridicule, Bao Jingjing blurted out: "It's impossible, even the salary can't be increased"

"Ah? Is President Wei so stingy?" Zeng Baoyi looked funny.

Bao Jingjing seemed to have calmed down at this moment, and even teased:

"Sister Baoyi, Brother Bo knows this best. He has been exploited for seven or eight years and is an old worker."

Huang Bai looked at Wei Jin in the audience with resentment and nodded heavily.

"Jingjing is right."

"Hahaha"

As the audience burst into laughter, the camera switched to Wei Jin's handsome face. He could only shrug helplessly and shake his head and laugh.

The award ceremony continued, and next came the awards directly related to the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"Please watch the big screen for the work nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award."

“The Big Buddha, Floating City Mystery, Detective Hunter Zhang, and The Girl at the Bottom.”

There are six more movies, but the atmosphere on the scene has become lively now, as they are all the favorites of this year's Golden Horse Awards.

The award presenter on the stage was still hesitant in opening the card, which created plenty of suspense.

Wei Jin also became a little more energetic and looked at the big screen. After all, he had two works, so the probability of winning an award should be quite high.

Ning Hao, who was sitting in the third row, lay down completely, as there was no place for him anyway.

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is The Great Buddha, Wei Jin, congratulations!"

Although it wasn't "The Girl at the Bottom", Jing Tian still grabbed Wei Jin's arm excitedly: "Brother, it's you!"

There were also constant applause and congratulations from the sidelines. "Congratulations, President Wei!"

Wei Jin responded with a smile, then straightened his clothes and walked towards the stage.

"Old Wei, please say a few more words," Huang Bai reminded in a low voice.

"Hehe, it's time to test your skills. Good luck to you, haha."

Wei Jin took the trophy with a smile and began to give his speech:

"This is the second time I have won the Golden Horse Screenwriting Award. I would like to thank the organizing committee and the jury for their recognition."

After the usual thanks, a teasing look appeared on Wei Jin's lips.

"Just now the host asked me to say a few more words, but I think, as a stingy person like me, I should say less, hahahaha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Huang Bo, Zeng Baoyi: “0.0”

As time passed, tonight's award ceremony entered its second half.

Although Huang Bai and Zeng Baoyi tried their best to delay time, Wei Jin still felt that the process was a bit too fast.

At this moment, he noticed that Xu Yajun was a little nervous because the names of several movies nominated for supporting actor were already displayed on the big screen.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is..."

The award presenter's suspenseful behavior made Xu Yajun, a tough guy who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, look sharp. Wei Jin was afraid that "Qi Tongwei" would stand up and shout that he was half a step ahead of heaven.

Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait long as Peng Yuyan, who presented the award, revealed the suspense.

"Pulp Comedy, Jung Joong-ki; Girl at the Bottom, Heo Ya-jun; Congratulations!"

"Oh!" Jing Tian exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Jin was also a little surprised that the Golden Horse Awards actually had a double yolk in the Supporting Actor Award?
But he quickly realized that even if it was a double yolk egg, it was still a good result, at least "The Girl at the Bottom" was open.

Then he followed the people around him and congratulated, "Congratulations, Teacher Xu."

"Hehe, this is the first time I've won an award after all these years. Thank you Director Wei."

Seeing the usually serious Xu Yajun smiling, Wei Jin joked: "Teacher Xu, your words of thanks should be saved for the stage to be spoken, hahahaha"

"Yes, Director Wei is right."

After everyone laughed and joked for a while, Xu Yajun began to button up the hem of his suit and walked up to the podium with an upright posture.

"Next, it's up to Teacher Jiang Shan."

"Yeah, 'Mom' will definitely be fine, come on!" Jing Tian turned his head and cheered Jiang Shan with an energetic look on his face.

"Ha, then I'll borrow the good words of my good daughter."

As Xu Yajun and Zheng Zhongji finished their speeches, it was the turn of the Best Newcomer Award.

The winner is Qi Xi, a new actress from Guizhou in mainland China and a star of the "Floating City Mystery" series.

Wang Jinhua in the audience couldn't stop smiling.

Soon after, the works nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award appeared on the big screen one after another. But sometimes we have to admit that not all good wishes can be fulfilled.

This award was finally given to Liang Jing from the "Killing" crew, who is also the wife of the director of this play, Guan Hu.

Jing Tian and Zhang Songwen both felt a little regretful. After all, they had been together for so long and their relationship was still good, not to mention that Jiang Shan was famous for her good temper.

Jiang Shan herself, on the other hand, took it lightly and even tried to comfort the two of them.

There was no time to calm down, because the highlight of the night, the Best Actor award, was here.

Huang Bo and Zeng Baoyi told jokes on the stage and mentioned several nominees, including Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, Zhang Songwen, and Xie Feng.
Huang Bo has good connections in the circle, and everyone who was cueed responded very politely, successfully delaying some time.

"The winner of the Best Actor Award is..."

The six nominees in the audience were all nervous at this moment, as this was already the core award of the Golden Horse Awards.

"Liu Qingyun, Congratulations!"

Zhang Songwen forced a smile and began to applaud.

Jing Tian and others also began to feel a little depressed. So far, "Girl in the Bottom" has 7 nominations, but only won one Best Supporting Actor. How many of the remaining three major awards can it win?
Wei and Jin, on the other hand, had a better mentality. The less there was in the beginning, the greater the surprise would be in the end.

Just as Liu Qingyun was giving his acceptance speech, Cheng Long and Li Bingbing were already waiting beside the stage.

Next, the most critical moment has arrived.

With Cheng Long and Li Bingbing taking the stage, the Best Actress award is about to be announced.

The two shouldered the responsibility and acted weird on stage.

Cheng Long introduced himself in English, then in Cantonese, and then in Hokkien, which made Wei Jin very embarrassed.

But the influence of international celebrities is indeed good. The foreigners in the audience were very respectful and applauded loudly.

But Li Bingbing couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother, let's give out the awards quickly. In previous years, the Golden Horse Awards were very frustrating, but this year it's very cold. I'm afraid everyone can't wait any longer."

There were bursts of friendly laughter from the audience, expressing understanding.

Today's award ceremony was held in a semi-open venue. It drizzled before the ceremony started and the temperature dropped suddenly.

The female stars were all dressed coolly. Even though Jing Tian had put on a coat, her hand holding Wei Jin's was still a little cold and nervous.

"I wanted to sing a song, but in that case, let's just give out the awards first. Please look at the big screen."

As the names of the six nominated films flashed by, Jackie Chan slowly opened his cue card and then raised his eyebrows.

"Well, he's an acquaintance, but it's a pity that we've never worked together."

"Me too, come to think of it, we've known each other for four or five years, right?"

"almost."

Cheng Long and Yang Mi were hesitating on the stage. Yang Mi, who was sitting in the audience, had already given up hope. She had worked with Cheng Long on an advertisement before, so that should count as cooperation, right? She had been ruled out.

"The winner of the Best Actress Award is..."

Li Bingbing kept it a secret and handed the cue card back to Cheng Long, who smiled at Wei Jin and said, "Congratulations to "The Bottom Girl", Jing Tian!"

Jing Tian only felt a "boom" in her head, and she stood up involuntarily, with a charming blush on her face.

"Brother, is it me?"

"Tiantian, it's you. Congratulations, you won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress!"

"Brother, it's me."

Jing Tian threw herself into Wei Jin's arms, her voice choked with sobs.

"Thank you, brother."

"Tiantian, go ahead and enjoy your moment of honor."

To be honest, Wei Jin was also a little sad at this moment. Although a lot of work had been done, the dust had finally settled.

Suddenly, the little girl stood on tiptoe and kissed Wei Jin on the lips.

"Wow."

Although it was just a brief touch and ended in an instant, it still caused a commotion at the scene, accompanied by rounds of applause.

Several nominees, including Gui Lunmei and Yang Mi, were also smiling and applauding, after all, the camera was pointing at them.

However, looking at the man next to Jing Tian, ​​many female stars couldn't even feel jealous.

I can only say that some people are just too lucky!
"Tiantian and I met at the premiere of The Martian. She was still a little girl then, and now she has become a Golden Horse Film Queen."

On the stage, Cheng Long and Li Bingbing handed the trophy certificate to Jing Tian, ​​and then said with a smile.

"Tiantian, congratulations."

"Thank you, brother. Thank you, Sister Bingbing."

Jing Tian stood in front of the microphone, took a deep breath, and his emotions seemed to have finally stabilized.

"I would like to thank the organizing committee and the judging panel for their recognition, and also thank Teacher Zhang Songwen for his guidance. I know I am not very smart, but thank you for your tireless teaching. Thank you."

The camera turned to Zhang Songwen, a late bloomer teacher at Beijing Film Academy, who looked very pleased.

"I also want to thank my parents in the play - Jiang Shan and Xu Yajun, you also taught me a lot, and of course all the members of the crew of "The Bottom Girl", Xiaobai, Li Xian, and Teacher Zhou"

Amid the warm applause, Jing Tian's eyes gradually became moist.

"Finally, I want to thank my brother, Director Wei Jin, for his encouragement. I feel very lucky to have met you. Thank you."

Jing Tian looked in the direction of Wei Jin and silently added the second half of the sentence in his heart, "Everything you did for me."

"In the future, I will work harder to become a good actor."

"Actually, there are many more people I want to thank, but my mind is a little confused and I can't remember what to say. Sorry, I've said a lot today. Brother Bo asked me to help you just now."

Wei Jin sat in the audience, holding his forehead with his hand. Jing Tian was sometimes quite outspoken.

However, this straightforward look was somewhat cute and silly, which made the guests in the audience applaud and cheer for him!

The award ceremony is still going on, with only the last two major awards left.

The award presenters, King Liu and Lin Chi-lin, walked onto the stage.

Even though a lot of time had been wasted before, it was still a bit rushed, so Huang Bo was still making up the time and joking with his "goddess" Lin Chi-lin.

"Zhilin, you've always said that your idol is Brother Hua, right?"

"Yes~~"

Lin Chi-lin's sweet and charming voice echoed through the microphone at the scene.

"Now I'll give you a chance. Close your eyes and imagine, if you were the director, what kind of scene would you like to shoot with Brother Hua?"

"I want to have a sweet love affair with him"

Sister Zhilin was indeed very open. She closed her eyes and started fantasizing on the spot. Her voice, tone, and body movements, right in front of everyone, she began to "fantasize" about King Liu.

Huang Bo immediately came over to help with the scene and enjoyed a loving hug.

After some jokes, the Best Director Award began.

Although he already knew the answer, the award presenter, King Liu, still followed the procedure and opened the envelope with a smile.

"China's youngest director to win the Palme d'Or, the Golden Bear, and the Oscar, the record-setter for Chinese-language film copyrights, and the record-holder for Chinese-language film box office."

Wow, this is already a clear reveal, and everyone's attention instantly focused on Wei Jin.

Some were full of respect, some were envious and moved, and some didn't care at all.

But no matter what, this series of magnificent achievements, like a dazzling halo, shrouds that tall figure.

".Congratulations to the Best Director Award winner, Director Wei Jin!"

Wei Jin had a faint smile on his face. After hugging Jing Tian and the crew who were also very happy, he walked straight onto the stage in a neat suit.

"Director Wei, if there is a chance in the future, please take care of me~~~"

Lin Zhilin gave Wei Jin a hug, then with a light in his eyes, he spoke in a coquettish voice.

"There is a chance."

"Boss, please help me, I was wrong."

Huang Bai pretended to be pitiful and interjected something, which caused laughter from the audience.

Ignoring this guy's pretense of madness, Wei Jin adjusted the microphone.

"Once again, I would like to thank the organizing committee and all the judges for their recognition, and thank the actors for their wonderful performances. I am very happy. This is the first time that both the leading and supporting actors of my movie have won awards at the same time. It seems that in the future, I need to explore more potentials of supporting actors, hahahaha"

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into applause. Who wouldn't want to be praised by Wei Jin? Unfortunately, the opportunity is rare.

"So, when Tiantian and Teacher Xu won the awards just now, I have already arranged a celebration banquet. After the award ceremony, please come and support us. Thank you!"

Generally speaking, it is rare for any film festival or academy awards to give the Best Picture and Best Director awards to the same work.

So after winning the Best Director award, Wei Jin knew that the final grand prize would have nothing to do with him.

But sometimes, luck comes so suddenly. "The Great Buddha" stood out from the remaining films and won the final prize.

Generally speaking, the Best Picture Award is given to the producer or production company, but Ning Hao is both the producer and the director, so he deserves to go on stage to receive the award.

Ning Hao accepted Lin Chilin's loving hug on the stage and smiled like a child. Wei Jin decisively took out his mobile phone and recorded it.

This marks the end of this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Shanhe Media's three films received a total of 14 nominations and won 6 trophies; it won three of the four most important awards, becoming the undisputed winner of this year's Golden Horse Awards.
