Chapter 72 Best Director

The applause lasted for almost a minute without any sign of weakening, and the host was not in a hurry, waiting for the applause to subside slowly.

The audience looked at Tang An with different eyes. Some older filmmakers were quite relieved, with encouragement in their eyes, as if they were reminiscing about their youth.

Some "new directors" in their 40s and [-]s were deeply impressed and reflected on their timidity.

Of course, some people dismissed Tang An's words!
For example, Lu Chuan, such as those directors who were also nominated for Best Virgo.

Some college students were also infected by Tang An's words, some unrealized plans when they were young, things to be completed in college before entering school, and plans for the future after graduation.

A series of things came to mind.

"I'll confess at night, whether she accepts me or not!"

"I must go to tutoring on weekends, don't be shy, you can do it!"

"You can't delay the internship any longer, you can sign up with a counselor when you get back!"

"The fellowship on the weekend must be a success, be bold, careful and thick-skinned, and go straight to third base!"

The tide of applause gradually receded, and the host continued with a look of admiration, "Director Tang, you completed a feature-length film by yourself, which is rare in the history of film in the world. What's on your mind?"

"At that time, I had only one thought in my mind!" Tang An said with a slight smile.

"Oh, what is it?" the host asked curiously.

"The first thing I did was to check my pockets to see how much money I had left. After all, I was filming at the home of a local fellow, and I hadn't given him the board and lodging expenses yet!"

Hahaha!
The audience immediately thought of bursts of kind smiles.

"Besides, I still have to take the train to the capital. Please ask China Film Group to help with post-production special effects and distribution. Fortunately, I left a little money for the fellow to buy the train ticket!" Tang An said with some joy.

"Then what would happen if Director Tang didn't have any money in his pocket?" the host teased.

"I don't know!" Tang An spread his hands.

"I didn't make this idea. If you think too much, it's easy to make people shy!"

After chatting for a few more words, Tang An returned to his seat, and there were still several awards waiting to be presented later.

As soon as she sat down, Yang Mi congratulated her, "Brother An, congratulations!"

"You also deserve credit for the movie, do you want a trophy?"

"No need, I already have one, and I want to get my own trophy!" Yang Mi clenched her pink fists to cheer herself up.

Next to him, Gu Changwei also congratulated him, "Congratulations to Director Tang!"

After speaking, I felt a little emotional, "If I had your courage when I was young, I might have become a director 10 years earlier!"

Gu Changwei shook his head, "I didn't get into the directing department back then, I went to study photography, and I was assigned to Xiying Studio to start as a photography assistant. I worked for 20 years!"

"That year, Director Wu asked Lao Zhang to shoot "Red Sorghum". He was also a photographer at that time. I wanted to make a movie myself, but I never made a decision!"

"If that's the case, where will Director Zhang and Director Chen find a master photographer!" Tang An laughed.

"Lost in the east, harvested in mulberry elm!" Gu Changwei sighed.

The Best Actress Award continued to be presented on the Kung Fu stage. Zhang Jingchu defeated Liu Luoying and Jiang Qingqing with "The Bride with Flowery Waist".

Another actress with a great start, nominated for Best Actress at the Chinese Film Media Awards, Best Actress at the Beijing College Student Film Festival, Best Actress at the Cairo International Film Festival, and Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The next 5 years can be regarded as the pinnacle of her acting skills. She won a lot of awards and nominations, but after 10 years, she quickly regressed.

After that, the best actor was taken away by Xia Yu with "Waiting Alone". When he gave his speech, he also said sorry to Cheng Long in the audience.

The director of "Waiting Alone" Wu Sixian is next door, Tang An also turned to congratulate him, "Congratulations to Director Wu!"

"En!" Wu Sixian replied in a neutral manner.

Tang An was a little baffled, and he was not happy to win the best actor!
Leave him alone, it will be your turn next.

"Won the No.12 Best Director of the Beijing College Student Film Festival!"

Feng Xiaogang "A World Without Thieves"

Lu Chuan's Hoh Xil

"On the way to school" by Fang Gangliang

Tang An "Shark Beach"

"The three directors all have hope, I don't know who will be awarded in the end!"

"Feng Xiaogang should secure the most popular director, and probably choose between Lu Chuan and Tang An!"

"Lu Chuan's certainty is still a bit greater. Compared with the popcorn movie "Shark Beach", the connotation of "Kekexil" is much deeper!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Don't forget that "Kekexili" lost to "Shark Beach" in Spain!"

"Maybe the judges want to show that they are more authoritative!"

From time to time, people in the audience were whispering, expressing their own opinions, apparently ignoring the fourth director.

The big screen was divided into four pieces, each playing clips of the nominated films.

The camera flashes over the four of them, and the lights bounce back and forth.

Although he knew that he was more confident, his eyes were still fixed on the envelope in the host's hand.

And Lu Chuan, who was sitting on the right, separated by three film crews, was not much better, holding his knees with both hands and pressing them tightly.

He glanced at Tang An from the corner of his eye, and remembered that it was the same when he was in Spain.

snort!
This award must be mine!

Lu Chuan snorted coldly in his heart, Tang An over there also felt something, and turned his head slightly, their eyes met.

Looking at Tang An's faint smile, Lu Chuan became irritable for some reason.

"The one who won the No. 12 Best Director of the Beijing College Student Film Festival!"

When the host started to announce the results, Lu Chuan immediately looked away, not forgetting to send a provocative look.

However, when he just turned his head, he heard a name that he really didn't want to hear.

""Shark Shore" Tang An!"

"Congratulations to Director Tang An!" The host waved his hand and announced loudly to everyone.

How can it be!

Lu Chuan was full of disbelief. Looking at Tang An, who was accepting the congratulations from everyone, and walking slowly onto the stage, his fingers were tightly pinching the flesh on his leg.

How could it be him!
Several judges praised my film, why did they give him the award in the end!

No matter what, Lu Chuan could only watch Tang An stand on the stage vigorously.

"Thank you, thank you host, thank you organizer!"

"This is my second time on stage, I am very grateful to the judges and teachers for awarding me this award!"

"The best director award is a compliment to every director, and I agree with those months of hard work. I am also very pleased that my work can be positively evaluated!"

When asked why he was able to win this award, Tang An said, "I think college students should be a group of people who are at the forefront of the times. They need more positive and hard-working spirit. And my "Shark In "The Beach", a little girl faces a bloodthirsty shark alone in the sea, and she is not afraid of danger, which is in line with the unyielding, tenacious and daring spirit of our contemporary college students!"
