Chapter 34 Two Awards
""Shark Beach!""

"Congratulations to director Tang An from Huaguo!"

The white-bearded old man finally stopped whetting his appetite, and shouted angrily.

What followed was enthusiastic applause from the audience, making no secret of their love for the film.

"Clap clap clap."

"call!"

Tang An breathed a sigh of relief, and was also very pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that the organizing committee would really award this award to himself.

Regardless of Lu Chuan who was stunned beside him, he got up and greeted his peers and audience around him, and strode onto the podium.

"Young man, it's a good shot, but it's not as beautiful as San Sebastian's beach!" The old man encouraged with a smile

"Thank you!" Tang An saluted him sincerely, took the trophy with both hands, and held it firmly in his hands.

Looking at the thousands of spectators below the stage, even Tang An, who has experienced countless big scenes, couldn't help feeling a little excited.

"I am very grateful to the organizing committee for awarding this award to me, thank you!"

"Actually, I don't have much confidence to win this award. After all, I am only 24 years old this year. This is my first work. Due to various reasons, there are still many flaws in this film. This is very regrettable. I have also learned a lot from it, and I hope that the next work will make greater progress and be able to stand on this podium again, thank you!"

Once again, he stepped off the stage and returned to his seat amidst the audience's "cracking" sounds. These are also his thoughts. Due to the cost, this film can at most get a passing score of 60 points in his opinion.

"Director Lu, it seems that the judges don't quite agree with your movie!" Tang An sat down and looked at him and chuckled.

"Hmph! I don't know why I won a small prize!"

Tang An smiled, turned to Yang Mi who was staring at the trophy and said, "Mi Mi, let me tell you a story."

"Okay!"

"The name of the story is "The Fox and the Grapes."

"I know, I know, is it because you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour?"

Yang Mi answered the words quickly, and after she finished speaking, she noticed that Lu Chuan's face was a little strange, and then realized that she might have said something wrong, so she quickly shut up.

"Dao Lu's primary school Chinese textbook should also have this story, right?" Tang An said with a half-smile.

Sadly, Lu Chuan realized that he seemed not smooth enough and that he was not Tang An's opponent at all. He could only look back helplessly, and secretly made up his mind that he must give him a good look in the domestic film market.

Let him see the box office appeal of the leading figures of the new generation of directors!
At this time, the next award was being presented on the stage, the Audience Choice Award, which was undoubtedly won by "Shark Beach" again.

Tang An stuffed the trophy into Yang Mi's arms, and went to the stage to receive a trophy again.

Yang Mi looked at the other trophy in his hand, and whispered to him, "Brother An, can you give me a trophy, I want to put it in the dormitory!"

Upon hearing her words, Xu Manyun, who was sitting beside him, hastily pulled his clothes, "Mi Mi!"

"It's okay! You can take that back, I was the one who fooled you in the first place!" Tang An waved his hand and smiled.

It is enough to have trophies, one has little to do with two.

Those who didn't win the prize tried their best to cater to the taste of the judges, but after winning the prize, they didn't pay much attention to it.

And it's not pure gold, it's worthless.

The next award presentation had nothing to do with Tang An. Xu Jinglei finally won the Silver Shell Award for Best Director, but the Golden Shell Award was taken away by an Iranian film, so she failed to win the highest award.

However, for Xu Jinglei, who is working as a director for the second time, winning the Best Director of the International Category A Film Festival is already a very big achievement, and it is also an affirmation for her.

It was already 9:[-] p.m. when the awards ceremony ended, and the group of them packed a minibus and went straight to Madrid Airport.

It was another 12-hour flight, arriving at Beijing Capital Airport at 27:[-] pm on the [-]th.

Xu Jinglei and the others had a Huayi camera to pick them up, and Yang Mi was also picked up by Li Xiaowan himself.

"Tang An, let's go back to the company first, see you at the premiere!"

"Okay, remember to come on time!" Tang An waved at them.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to trouble you to pick up the plane in person again, you really did it yourself!" Tang An looked at Li Xiaowan and smiled.

"It happened that I had something to do in the capital, so I stopped by. Director Tang, did you gain something this time?"

"Lucky enough to win two prizes!"

"Both nominations have won? Congratulations to Director Tang!" Li Xiaowan was a little surprised, and immediately congratulated him.

Tang An looked at Yang Mi, "Mi Mi, show Mr. Li the trophy!"

"Oh well!"

Yang Mi quickly took out the trophy for the best feature film from her bag and handed it over.

"Mr. Li, Brother An gave it to me. I'll put it in the dormitory when I go back!"

Li Xiaowan hesitated for a moment, "How can Director Tang do this!"

"Keep it, thanks to Mi Mi's performance this time, otherwise I don't know where to find such a suitable actor!"

"However, it's best to stay in the capital for the next few days. The premiere will start at the end of the month. I'll go to China Film to see if I can get some promotional resources. Then Mi Mi will definitely participate!"

"Of course, if Director Tang needs it, I will fully cooperate!"

Virgo has won two international awards, this start is even higher than Zhou Xun
Zhou Xun, who was also 91 years old in 17, starred in the first movie "The Ancient Tomb" but won the Best Actress Award at the Beijing TV Film and Television Festival, which is completely incomparable with the international A-category film festival.

Moreover, this is a commercial film, if the box office results are excellent, as the absolute protagonist, Yang Mi will definitely become famous in one fell swoop.

Not to mention big hits, at least he can step into the ranks of third-tier movie stars.

Be a star, not an actor!

And all of this is due to Tang An, this young and a little too much director, Li Xiaowan immediately invited, "Director Tang probably hasn't eaten yet, there is a restaurant in front of you that has good seafood, do you want to try it?"

"Thank you Mr. Li for your kindness, but it's getting late, I have to go to China Film Group, next time!" Tang An declined.

"Then I'll take Director Tang there!"

"Then trouble Mr. Li!" Tang An nodded without being pretentious.

More than an hour later, Tang An came to Zhongying again and met Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng poured Tang An a glass of water, looked at his dusty appearance and smiled, "Director Tang is back from Spain?"

Tang An picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, "Just got off the plane!"

"The first film can be shortlisted for the International A-category Film Festival, Director Tang is not far away from winning the award!"

"It's really not far away!"

Tang An chuckled, took out the trophy from his bag and put it on the table.

"No, it's so close!"

"This is the award?" Lin Sheng grabbed the trophy in disbelief and checked it over and over again.

"This is the Audience Choice Award, and there is also an award for Best Feature Film for the Leading Actress!" Tang An laughed.
