The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 63 Olympic Games Chief Director

The 13th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

The scene of the award ceremony.

Looking at the young man sitting with Zhang Yimou in the back row, many celebrities had surprise and confusion in their eyes.

Then I saw that even big stars like Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Ge You came up to say hello in a flattering manner, and most of them had thoughtful looks in their eyes.

After guessing the young man's identity, some of them were surprised, some were hesitant, but most of them followed him up to say hello.

It wasn't until the award ceremony officially started that the people surrounding the two people finally dispersed and each returned to their place.

"Where were we talking about?"

Rubbing his eyebrows, Han Jiadong asked Zhang Yimou beside him.

"Design of the Olympic Torch."

Zhang Yimou reminded that it was Han Jiadong who he took the initiative to make an appointment with today, and the purpose was to discuss matters related to the next Olympics.

Otherwise, it is really not certain whether Han Jiadong will come to this film festival.

"What happened to your tongue?"

Zhang Yimou looked at Han Jiadong and suddenly asked another question.

Han Jiadong said calmly: "It's okay, I was bitten accidentally."

After Zhang Yimou asked, he actually realized that he was talking too much and quickly changed the subject: "Are you really not going to go on stage to accept the award soon?"

Obviously the award ceremony had just begun at this time, but he seemed to be sure that Han Jiadong would win the award.

In fact, he really believed that Han Jiadong would definitely win the award.

I’ve won the Berlin Golden Bear, so there’s no reason why I can’t win awards in China.

Not to mention Han Jiadong's identity background.

Han Jiadong was also not self-effacing and shook his head: "No."

For this film festival, his name has been changed back to his real name.

He does not exclude appearances. Just like the last time he went to the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics, he and Zhang Yimou were photographed sitting together.

This time I will definitely be photographed sitting with Zhang Yimou.

But showing up and receiving an award on stage are two different things.

Once you go on stage to receive an award, it means you accept dealing with the media.

It was already tiring enough to deal with the group of celebrities who were already very restrained, but dealing with those media reporters would only be even more tiring.

He has no intention of wasting his time and energy on these aspects yet.

Zhang Yimou didn't ask any more questions and nodded understandingly.

With the current condition of the young master's tongue, he is indeed not suitable for taking the stage.

If possible, Zhang Yimou himself doesn't want to show his face.

Behind-the-scenes workers still need a larger private space to better focus on creation.

For him, the most painful and energy-consuming thing is not making movies, but dealing with the media.

It's a pity that even with his current status, he still can't avoid this.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yimou brought the topic back to the Olympics again.

Many people attributed the success of the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games to Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Yimou himself knew that he had more to do with hard work, and the young man in front of him was the biggest contributor!
Two of the three programs were produced by this young man.

This is why he would find a young man like Han Jiadong to discuss such an important matter as the Olympics.

And after just a few words of conversation, he already felt that his decision was correct.

Whether it is the design of the torch, the countdown to the fou, or the fireworks footprints that symbolize the 29 times the Olympic Games have been held...

Every idea, down to the details of how to implement it, all amazed Zhang Yimou.

Before Han Jiadong could finish speaking, he had already said excitedly: "Director, you should be the chief director!" Han Jiadong was caught off guard by his words.

"I am the chief director, what should I do?"

"I'll still be your assistant director and help you, just like I did in "The 300". I will make a plan based on your plan. We will definitely be successful in the competition!"

This proposal, I have to say, is very tempting.

Han Jiadong couldn't help but feel excited.

But when he thought that what he said were just things that Zhang Yimou would have produced, he refused after struggling for a while.

"Use this plan to make a proposal and compete for the chief director. I'll forget it. I don't have the time."

"How about that?"

Zhang Yimou flatly refused: "You came up with these things. If you are not the chief director, even if I want to compete for the job, I can't plagiarize your stuff!"

Han Jiadong: "..."

After being silent for a long time, he said: "It's all for the country, in order to make the Olympic Games better and more successful. It doesn't matter whether it's yours or mine. It's unrealistic for a country's Olympic Games to rely on the strength of one person. Brainstorming is the best strategy.”

After saying that, seeing Zhang Yimou still frowning in thought, he added: "Well, isn't the competition for the chief director scheduled for next year? You go ahead and make a plan according to this plan, and I will look at it then. Even if I don't have time, I will It’s okay to use the title of planning consultant.”

Zhang Yimou reluctantly agreed.

The award ceremony was coming to an end at this time.

"Shoplifters" is the biggest winner in the whole show.

In one fell swoop, he won the five most important awards of the Golden Rooster Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Actress!
Plus a directorial debut award.

Among them, actor Ge You has two films nominated, in addition to "Shoplifters", there is also "Mobile Phone".

Actress Xu Qin shares it with Zhang Ziyi.

The latter was filming "Memoirs of a Geisha" in California, North America, and did not come to the scene.

In addition, Yang Mi, Ma Ke, and Guan Xiaotong were also nominated for the Best Supporting Actor and Actor Awards respectively.

In the end, the supporting actor role was won by Feng Yuanzheng of "Beautiful Shanghai".

The Best Supporting Actress category is vacant.

It's a pity that there is no Best Newcomer Award at this time, otherwise it will definitely be won by one of the three of them.

The lack of a supporting actress role has to make people suspect that it is deliberately targeting the Hundred Flowers Award and the newly promoted Hundred Flowers Best Actress Fan Bingbing.

Because this Hundred Flowers Awards changed the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards to the Best Actress and Outstanding Actress awards.

Then Fan Bingbing, who had only a supporting role in "Cell Phone", successfully won the Best Actress Award. The winner of the Outstanding Actress Award was Xu Qin, the heroine of "Shoplifters".

Fan Bingbing happened to be nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Golden Rooster Awards.

She won the Best Actress Award, but the Golden Rooster would rather not give her the vacancy in the Supporting Actress Award. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of Fan Bingbing and the Hundred Flowers Award?
In particular, the Golden Rooster Awards also gave away double-yolked eggs for the Best Actress award.

You said that the Golden Rooster Award should be limited rather than excessive, which is completely contradictory.

In addition to the Best Actress and Outstanding Actress awards, among the remaining four Hundred Flowers Awards, the Outstanding Actor Award was won by Li Yun... Li Youbin in "Thrilling".

The Best Actor award was also won by Ge You, who starred in two outstanding films.

The outstanding films were won by "Cell Phone" and "Thrilling".

The best picture was finally announced and once again was won by "Shoplifters".

When the results were announced, a large number of celebrities and actors present were already numb.

It would be nice to win an award like Zhang Ziyi if you don't come to the event. But if you don't go on stage, the organizer still keeps stuffing it into your arms as if it's a force?

Involuntarily, their gazes looking in a certain direction became even more intense.

Ge You, who had won two Best Actors in a row today, couldn't be happy anymore when he thought about the fact that he was about to go on stage to accept the award on behalf of the director and the director would give him an acceptance speech.
