Chapter Nine Hundred and Fiftieth Chapter Defeat in the First Battle
At 20:00, the Huaxia Jinzun International Film Festival officially started.
The host is Xu Jun, a pillar of CCTV, and his golden partner Meng Xiaohong.
After the two finished reporting, Meng Xiaohong said, "Mr. Xu, let me ask you a question, how many movies did you watch last year?"
Xu Jun smiled and said: "That's too many, there are "Infernal Affairs", "Inception", "Jing Ke's assassination of Qin", "Xiao Cui", "Storm", "Dawn", etc. More than ten."
Meng Xiaohong said: "It seems that these are all Chinese-made movies? Haven't you watched excellent movies from other regions?"
Xu Jundao: "How come. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Twenty-Four Hours", "Fatal Attraction", "Tarzan", "The Old Man and the Boy", "The Great River" and other movies from various countries, I I've seen it in the cinema, it's amazing."
Meng Xiaohong smiled and said, "Then which one is your favorite? No official tongue is allowed, just say its name."
Xu Jun shook his head and said, "As an excellent host, how can you let people take them away. I like all the movies."
"Hahaha."
There was applause from the audience.
Meng Xiaohong said, "It's really boring."
Xu Jun asked, "Then which one do you like the most?"
Meng Xiaohong didn't hesitate at all, and said, "My favorite is "Falling Leaves Returning to the Roots".
"Falling Leaves Return to the Root" is a literary film directed by Wang Youcai, director of Hanhai Film and Television Company.
The main actor is Kan Shuwen. Although the investment is not large, the box office is a big hit of 2 billion, and the word of mouth is even better.
If the Huaxia Jinzun Film Festival does not change the rules, there will definitely be a place for "Falling Back to the Roots" in the major awards.
It's a pity that Jinzun is now an international film festival. It may be due to cultural differences. The foreign judges are generally not interested in "Falling Leaves Returning to the Roots". In addition, the strong gathering this time, there are so many films that "Falling Leaves Returning to the Roots" was not shortlisted for even a single award, which is very regrettable.
Xu Jun smiled and said: "You are also very smart. Saying a movie that has not been nominated will still not offend everyone. However, "The Return of the Leaves" is indeed very good. I also watched it in the cinema, and I was moved to tears. Well, let's stop talking nonsense, I believe everyone can't wait any longer."
Meng Xiaohong smiled and said, "Then let's get to the point. The first award is the Best Screenplay Award. We will invite Oscar winner David Hartnett and Chinese actress Yu Yuexian to present the awards."
Yu Yuexian was wearing a long white dress today, which looked like a fairy, but the skirt was dragged for a long time, making it a little inconvenient to walk.
David Hartnett acted very gentle, for fear of accidentally stepping on her skirt, so he walked very cautiously.
Coming to the front of the stage, Yu Yuexian first glanced at David Hartnett gratefully, and then said, "Mr. Hartnett, how many times have you come to China?"
David Hartnett didn't understand Chinese. He shrugged and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I don't understand."
The audience couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at my brain." Yu Yuexian laughed at himself, and then repeated the question just now in English.
David Hartnett said: "I'm here for the first time."
Since he didn't speak Chinese, Yu Yuexian could only temporarily act as a translator.
"Then what's your impression of Huaxia?"
David Hartnett said: "Very good. Especially the Chinese food, it is the best thing I have ever eaten. I have decided to rest here for a while."
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "That's great. What do you think of our Huaxia movies?"
David Hartnett said: "To be honest, I usually rarely watched it before. It was not until the appearance of "Fighting Heroes" and "Infernal Affairs" filmed by Mr. Xiao that I paid attention to Chinese movies and watched a lot of extraordinary movies. It's a good movie. It's just that the Chinese culture is too broad and profound. The same sentence will have different meanings in different contexts, so it's very difficult for me to understand. But many artists' acting skills are very powerful, not at all comparable to The Oscar-winning actor and actress are poor. Miss Yu, I have seen your film, and you acted it very well.
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation."
Due to the language barrier, Yu Yuexian did not interact much with David Hartnett. After reading the nominations of the seven screenwriters on the big screen, Yu Yuexian opened the envelope.
"The best screenwriter at the first Huaxia Jinzun International Film Festival is... Mr. Hartnett, please read his name. I think you should be familiar with him."
David Hartnett was not polite and said: "Congratulations to my old friend Jack, who has become the best screenwriter for "The Old Man and the Young"."
After Yu Yuexian said that the winner was an old friend of David, Xiao Yunhai knew that he had missed the award.
Sure enough, David Hartnett called out Jack's name.
Xiao Yunhai clapped his hands to congratulate Jack, and said to Ye Yongren next to him, "This is a shame. During the interview, I also said that the most promising candidate was the Best Screenplay Award, but he gave me a resounding slap in the face. , it's so depressing."
Ye Yongren said with a smile: "In the past two years, whether it's the Jinzun TV Festival or the Jinzun Film Festival, the award for Best Screenplay has never escaped your grasp. To be honest, I think it's time for a change."
He knew that Xiao Yunhai didn't care too much about this award, so he made a joke.
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Ye, can the previous Jinzun be the same as the current Jinzun? This is the best screenwriter selected by more than 200 of the world's best filmmakers, and its gold content is more valuable than Oscar. It's more than that. I want to say I'm not disappointed, that's a lie. I wanted you to comfort me, but you hurt me even more. Oh, is there anyone more pitiful than me?"
Ye Yongren laughed and said, "Do you want to cry a lot?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Not so much. If our entire army is wiped out, it will not be too late for me to cry."
Ye Yongren laughed and scolded: "Can you not be so cunning?"
While joking, a staff member walked over quietly and said to Xiao Yunhai, "Mr. Xiao, the award for Best Film Score will be awarded soon, please go to the backstage to prepare."
Although Xiao Yunhai did not agree to sing on stage, he agreed to be the guest of honor for the best film score.
According to the order of awards, it will be his turn after the next best newcomer award is over, so he must go to the backstage in advance to communicate with another guest.
This time together with Xiao Yunhai, it is South Korean actress Hua Jingyan.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai, Hua Jingyan looked very happy, with a beautiful smile on her charming face, and in fluent Chinese, she said, "Hello, Mr. Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am yours. Loyal fans, I've heard and watched almost all of your music and movies, it's great."
Hua Jingyan is 28 years old this year, but she is very well maintained. Her appearance is no different from that of a girl in her early twenties, and her temperament is outstanding and stunning.
She is not only an actress, but also a singer, but compared with film and television, she is a little dwarfed in music.
Xiao Yunhai gently shook her tender and delicate jade hand politely, and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Hua could speak Chinese so well, but I am relieved. Thank you very much for liking my works."
Hua Jingyan smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, can I ask you one thing?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Please speak."
Hua Jingyan said: "I plan to release an album in Korea recently, but I don't have any suitable songs. I hope I can buy the rights to arrange a few songs you created, and then replace the Chinese lyrics with Korean lyrics. I believe I will be able to. Loved by Korean fans. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can agree?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "No problem. If you want any songs, you can contact my manager, Ms. Mo Yina. She is solely responsible for these matters, I just need to sign."
Hua Jingyan said gratefully, "Thank you so much."
After chatting for a while, the two began to discuss the speeches for the awards.
