The awards ceremony went on for almost two hours without knowing it. During the period, singers performed on stage to add to the fun, and then filmmakers from other Asian countries competed for various awards. Japanese and Korean filmmakers once again beat Singapore, India, and Angola to become Apart from Chinese filmmakers, the biggest winners.

It was more than half an hour, and the award ceremony was going on for almost three hours. After NLZ finished the performance as the last guest performer, tonight finally ushered in the last few heavyweight awards.

"Now we are going to present the award for the most popular heroine in Asia." Zhang Guoli on the stage paused, and Shu Qi next to him said, "I invite my brother Zhang Guorong to present the award to us." After finishing speaking, Zhang Guoli and Shu Qi They all clapped their hands together, and then walked to the right side of the stage; amidst the applause of the crowd, Young Master Rong came out from the left side, he smiled and waved his hand, while the other hand was holding a golden envelope containing the award results. s post.

The presenting guests of this year's Starlight Awards are really star-studded, including popular entertainers from the entire entertainment industry in Asia, Takuya Kimura, Masami Nagasawa, Li Yingai, Song Haokang, Hu Ge, Sun Li and others; there are also some legends For example Rong Shao, Fa Ge and other figures who stand at the top of the Asian film and television industry.

Standing in front of the microphone, Young Master Rong didn't say much, and let everyone watch the big screen, showing the performance clips of the six shortlisted Asian female stars to everyone again.

Then, Young Master Rong gently opened the envelope and took a look, then showed an elegant smile, lowered his head slightly and said, "The most popular heroine in Asia is Ning Tong - "Thunderbolt Angel"! Congratulations, little Tongtong!"

There was a thunderous applause from the audience, Ning Tong and the surrounding Shishi and Yingbao hugged vigorously, and then hugged the older brother Ning Cheng, and then smiled amid everyone's applause and the screams of fans on the second floor to the podium.

Ning Sheng and others sat down and continued to applaud. Other actresses who competed with Ning Tong, such as Korea's Han Hyo-joo, RB's Xin Heng Yui, and domestic Zhang Min and others showed no sign of disappointment on their faces. color, because basically everyone has known the result for a long time.

"Angels of Thunderbolt" is not only very good at the box office and word of mouth, but the heroine Ning Tong is the absolute core of the film. There is no male protagonist to share the love of the audience. Coupled with the huge influence of the NLZ group in Asia, this film is composed of all Asian fans. It is really no surprise that Ning Tong won the award that was voted by the audience and fans together!
Next, the most popular actor in Asia was won by Zhou Xingxing, a new generation of comedy master from Huaxia.

And the other male actors competing for this award are Cheng Long, Jie Ge, Yuan Bin and other male stars from various countries. Such a popularity award to prove it.

Won Bin from South Korea was a little disappointed. Although he felt that he had little hope before, but now that he really hoped to be lost, he still felt quite uncomfortable. Lin Yuner and other friends from the same crew next to him comforted him. Although he smiled Said that he was fine, but seeing Zhou Xingxing who came to the stage to accept the award, he was still envious.

Speaking of which, this old handsome Korean guy can be regarded as a successful transformation. Another handsome guy from "Blue Life and Death" Song Seung-heon is still wandering on the route of a prince and a cool boy, and Yuan Bin has already relied on his previous "" "Extreme Agent" and this "Partnership" have completely transformed the tough guy on the screen, bid farewell to the appearance of the creamy niche.

Then there are the most popular films in Asia. There are as many as nine contenders for this award. In addition to China's "Thunderbolt Angel", "Glass Bottle", "Die Hard", and "Play Back To School 3", there are also Japanese films. Three films from South Korea, "Love in the Sky", "Iron Rain", and "Together", as well as one film from India and one from Singapore, ended up being Zhou Xingxing's "Fight Back to School 3" which won this award.

With the popularity of Zhou's nonsensical comedies in Asia, it is clear that Zhou Xingxing is not only popular, but his Zhou's comedies are also very popular in Asia.

Then the host once again invited the award presenter - Mei Gu, who was going to present the Most Popular Director Award in Asia.

Amid the applause, Mei Gu, who was in charge of presenting the awards, walked towards the center of the stage with a smile.Ning Tong looked at the elder brother on the left, and saw that he had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care, but based on her understanding of her elder brother, he only behaved when he was very focused and serious.He asked softly, "Hey, brother, are you nervous?"

Ning Cheng looked at Ning Tong, who were all looking over, and Shishi and Ying Bao beside him, then nodded lightly, and admitted generously: "Yes, I'm a little nervous, although it's not the first time I've won the Starlight Award, But it’s different every time, and this time is even more different, this is the first Asia’s most popular director award after the reform of the award ceremony, whether I can win the award proves whether everyone has forgotten me, so it’s normal to be nervous.”

What Ning Sheng didn't say is that the most important difference to him in this "Angel of the Thunderbolt" is that he almost copied the original version of another time and space in the previous movies, while "Angel of the Thunderbolt" was based on the original version after he made many modifications. This is a new test of my directing ability.

Although the box office results look pretty good, but if he can win the director's award, Ning Sheng feels that he will be more confident.So, even though he won the Starlight Award for Best Director for the first time, this time, he wants this award even more.

The three of Ning Tong looked at each other, and then Ning Tong patted his brother's hand and said, "Don't worry, if you don't get the award, Shi Shi, Ying Bao and I will be the heroines for you for free, and let you make another one." , keep taking pictures until you win the prize!"

Seeing Shishi and Yingbao nodding repeatedly, Ning Cheng said speechlessly, "Have you ever thought about it, if I don't win the award, is it because of your poor acting skills?"

The three of Ning Tong were taken aback for a moment, then Ning Tong coughed lightly, and said solemnly, "I see this award, Ning Cheng, you are hopeless!"

Shishi next to her nodded vigorously, and Ying Bao added, "Perhaps if "Angel of the Thunderbolt" is filmed by other directors, the box office and word of mouth will be better!"

The four of Ning Cheng were joking and joking with each other in the audience, and the awards ceremony on the stage was continuing!
"The nominees for Asia's Most Popular Director Award are Wang Jing - "Fight Back to School 3", Gu Dezhao - "Glass Bottle", Kim Sung Hoon - "Together", Natsuki Imai - "Love in the Sky"--" Mei Gu read the list of nominations. Following her voice, the big screen behind the stage showed the movie clips of the nominees. There was wave after wave of applause from the audience. Mei Gu finally put down the list and said the last nominee: " Ning Sheng-"Thunderbolt Angel"."

Several screen clips of "Angels of the Thunderbolt" appeared on the screen, the action scenes of Ning Tong, Shi Shi, and Ying Bao, the funny scenes --- the stars and celebrities clapped harder, and many people cheered loudly : "Angel, Angel!" The momentum is bigger than the other nominees just now.The three of Ning Tong also clapped their hands, looked at Ning Cheng who was smiling silently beside him, and said in their hearts: "Brother, get ready to go up and get the prize."

Mei Gu on the stage smiled and opened the golden post, glanced at it, then leaned over to the microphone and announced loudly: "Ning Cheng-"Thunderbolt Angel"!"

With the sound of "Oh", thunderous applause immediately resounded throughout the venue, and everyone applauded with laughter.On the live channel on the TV screen, Ning Cheng who was sitting at the dining table seemed to exhale lightly, then paused a little, looked at Ning Tong, Shi Shi, Ying Bao, and Jie Ge and Cheng Long nearby, Zhou Xingxing --- people around him smiled and looked at him, clapping their hands incessantly.

Ning Cheng got up and hugged and shook hands with acquaintances nearby, Ning Tong even patted his back and said, "Brother, congratulations!"

Ning Cheng took a deep breath, walked quickly to the stage with a bright smile on his face, and murmured with an inaudible smile: "Although it is not the Golden Tripod Award, but with this Starlight Award, how far will the Golden Tripod Award go?" ?!" Passing through the dense crowd from the side, he came to the stage and took the trophy of Asia's Most Popular Director Award from Mei Gu. Except for the lettering on the ground, the best director trophy is almost the same.

However, at this moment, he was holding the trophy, his heart was beating fast and powerfully, and he was filled with a different kind of happy and satisfied emotion than before. He laughed at himself in his heart: "It is said that actors want to be recognized by others. , there is no cure. It turns out that directors are sometimes the same!"

Holding the trophy, he came to the microphone, glanced at the audience, and then said with a smile: "To receive this award, I would like to thank many people, my parents, and their tolerance and support, so that I can pursue my dream with confidence." ,——Ning Tong, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying and all the actors of "Thunderbolt Angel", they all performed very well, because of them, the story I want to show is fully expressed——" He quickly He thanked several names and organizers, and then he laughed loudly: "Also, I am most grateful, my baby Xinxin, and my wife Emma, ​​dear, I have already got Awarded, I'll be home soon!"

Amidst the laughter and applause of everyone, Ning Cheng walked off the stage with a smile and returned to the dining table.He and the three of Ning Tong, who were standing to welcome his triumphant return, hugged each other lightly in celebration, and other actors not far away watched this scene with smiles.

Emma, ​​who was far away in the villa in Kyoto, watched the live broadcast on TV, kissed Xinxin who was already asleep in her arms, and said softly, "Xinxin, Dad talked to you on TV, and he said he would Come back to see us soon—”

"Brother!" Feeling Ning Cheng's excitement, Ning Tong patted him on the back and said with a smile, "We have all won the Starlight Award now, shouldn't we consider the Golden Tripod Award?" Ning Cheng smiled immediately, She let go of her hands, and Shishi and Yingbao next to her said, "We haven't won the Most Popular Actress yet, Brother Ning, shouldn't it be time for Shishi and me to win the award for the Best Actress too?" !"

Ning Cheng looked at the two people who were joking and said, "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." Then he turned to look at Ning Tong and said, "As for your Golden Tripod Award, you might as well try other directors' plays, I haven't won the Golden Tripod Award yet. You are looking for a director who has won the Golden Tripod Award to film for you, as long as people like your acting skills!"

Obviously after winning the prize, Ning Cheng started messing around with them again.

Originally, the awards ceremony should have ended here, but not today. There is also a lifetime achievement award today, which is awarded to Liu Jialiang, a kung fu master who has completely retired from the film industry. The representative of the director is now old and no longer involved in film work, but he has indeed had a great influence on Chinese films and Kung Fu films, and he deserves this award today!
The awards ceremony is now completely over. After they came out, it was almost midnight, but the reporters were still taking pictures of the winners. After Ning Cheng and Ning Tong finished taking pictures, they hurried to the banquet to show off. Want to leave quietly.

However, "Thunderbolt Angel" has won several awards in a row tonight, and its popularity is high. Wherever it goes, it is always greeting and chatting. Those who have a closer relationship cannot escape at all.

In the end, the three of Ning Tong decided to break up into parts and find their own solutions. They also made a secret bet together on when Ning Cheng could return to the hotel.

And Ning Cheng was surrounded by the crowd, the bosses of the film and television industry, and the celebrities took turns to toast, and finally stopped drinking, but was dragged into a private room and started a long conversation.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Ning Cheng had no choice but to give up. He just sat on the sofa and pretended to listen to everyone's chatting, while he unconsciously started paddling, eyelids twitching.

"——Xiao Sheng——Xiao Sheng——" In a trance, Ning Cheng felt someone calling him by his ears, and suddenly opened his eyes to see Brother Jie who was leaning next to him and asked, "What's the matter? Are you sleepy? Don't sleep yet, Listen to what we have to say, give us an opinion, and then let someone arrange to send you back to the hotel to rest, how about it?"

Ning Sheng said with a strong spirit, "Okay, what's the matter?"

Brother Cheng Long over there said, "Ah Jie and I have both received a movie contract. The other party is a movie from the Hollywood independent film company Lionsgate Films. The tentative name is "King of Kung Fu". Ah Jie and I They were all invited to participate in the filming, but they were all supporting roles. The male lead was an undecided American, and the female lead was selected from Chinese actresses. The total investment was about 7000 million US dollars. What Ah Jie and I are hesitating right now is, what should we do? Should I accept this play?"

Ning Cheng asked in a daze after hearing this, "The two of you are such big stars, and you still go to play a supporting role in a foreign movie? Is there any special reason?"

Brother Jie next to him explained, "Our agent suggested that we can close the cooperation with Lionsgate Films and create a good premise for future cooperation, and the salary for me and Brother Cheng Long is about 700 million US dollars, and see The other party's meaning is still possible to improve, and Lionsgate intends to use this movie as a test. If the effect is good, it will shoot more movies with Chinese actors in the future, and the location and story of this movie are probably all the same. It is mainly based on oriental mythology. Brother Cheng Long and I feel that this is very good for us personally and Chinese movies. Of course, the only thing that makes us hesitate is that many Chinese stories made by foreigners before were very miserable. Our film The director and screenwriter of the play are foreigners, so we are a little worried. If the film is rushed, I am afraid that it will not only be bad for us, but also cause us to suffer a lot of criticism, so you can make local Chinese movies, or you can make big movies. The big directors who sold Hollywood movies all over the world gave us some sincere suggestions, let us refer to them!"

Ning Cheng sniffed silently, thought hard, and then said, "Although I haven't read the script, it's strange that a foreigner is the protagonist in an oriental mythology, and to be honest, I doubt that foreigners can understand mythology and mythology." Are they different from Western magic? Maybe my opinion is a bit conservative, but if you must give me an opinion, then my opinion is that it is best not to participate, so as not to be scolded."
