Chapter 357 Golden Horse Best Director!
"Thank you."

Li Xuejian, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, stood on the podium with joy, holding the Golden Horse trophy in both hands.

His beard was half white and his face was covered with wrinkles.

But at this moment, this old man who is over fifty years old is one of the most glorious people tonight.

“It’s an honor to receive this award.”

"This award is not just awarded to me, everyone is excellent. The film is the result of collective creation, and the honor belongs to everyone!"

"It wasn't me who made Li Wen, but Li Wen who made me."

"I'm very grateful to Director Wu for inviting me to play this role and experience Li Wen's ordinary but extraordinary life."

"Although I am over 50 years old, I haven't gone far enough as an actor."

"As long as I can still act and people use me, I will continue to work hard for movies."

The love was so deep that Li Xuejian couldn't help but have red eyes.

He really loves the path of acting, and he has indeed dedicated most of his life to acting, and he did it all the way in an era when being an actor did not earn a high salary at all.

Perhaps the total money he has earned from acting in his life is not as much as what young actors today earn from filming a movie.

But his love for this industry is definitely beyond the reach of today's young actors.

And in the foreseeable future, there will only be fewer and fewer practitioners like Li Xuejian who are sincere about the profession of "actor".

The impetuous atmosphere in the industry is destined to no longer produce actors who are willing to immerse themselves in acting skills and who truly love and are passionate about acting.

Wu Yuan also clapped vigorously and gave the most sincere applause.

He was really happy that Li Xuejian won the Best Actor.

For the director, such a good actor is one less person to work with. He also hopes that the cooperation between the two can end with such a perfect ending.

Li Xuejian's performance in "Li Wen" is worthy of a Best Actor trophy.

On the podium, Li Xuejian finally held the trophy high, took snapshots, and then walked off the stage with wind.

Along the way, Zhang Hanyu, another shortlisted actor, watched him walk off the stage with envy.

Although after the shortlist was announced, media reporters predicted that Li Xuejian had the highest probability of winning, followed by him. He had already been mentally prepared.

But when it came time to lose the award, it was inevitable that I would feel empty in my heart.

Outside the venue, portals such as Penguin, Sohu, and Sina also forwarded the news of Li Xuejian's award as soon as possible, and attached pictures of the scene.

Li Xuejian received this award, which is considered the most well-deserved, and no one had any objections or doubts.

The mainland Internet is full of congratulations. Although most netizens may not know the actor, it is enough as long as a mainland actor wins the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

In recent years, publicity outlets in the mainland have been vigorously promoting the Golden Horse Awards, touting it as one of the highest palaces of Chinese films.

The main reason is that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are currently in the honeymoon period, and the mainland is vigorously promoting everything about Taiwan. In addition, the Golden Horse is indeed very honorable, and has given awards to mainland films in recent years.

This has made the Golden Horse Awards, which were relatively unknown in the mainland five years ago, suddenly become a well-known film award in the mainland.

Only after "Lan Yu" in 2001, the performance of mainland actors at the Golden Horse Awards began to dim.

Now another mainland actor has won the Golden Horse Best Actor, and mainland netizens immediately cheered.

Liu Yifei, who was far away in Switzerland, was also very happy when she saw this news. Although she knew that mobile phones should not be brought on site, she immediately edited a congratulatory text message and sent it to teacher Li Xuejian.

"We already have the Best Actor, are the Best Picture and Best Director still far behind?"

"Director Wu will definitely be able to win all three awards this time!"

"Li Eu's "Lust, Caution" won the Golden Lion Award, and even won the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards. Director Wu can do it too!"

"That must be dripped!"

In major film forums, netizens who are paying attention to this year's Golden Horse Awards are discussing it enthusiastically.

In their view, the Best Actor trophy won by Li Xuejian is not the end, but the beginning of tonight's great victory, and the big one is yet to come!
There was no way, who asked Li Eucalyptus to set a perfect example.

Last year, "Lust, Caution" also participated in the Venice International Film Festival and won the final Golden Lion Award.

This year, "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die" also won the Golden Lion Award. In everyone's simple mind, of course, they also thought that this movie would shine at the Golden Horse.

In this way, under the great expectations of mainland netizens, awards were quickly awarded one after another. After more than ten awards of various sizes were awarded, including Best Visual Effects, Best Photography, Best Action Design, Best Actress, etc. .

Soon, there will be only two crucial awards left to be awarded at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

The finale awards for Best Director and Best Picture.

Last year, these two awards were swept by "Lust, Caution".

This year, will these two awards be swept by "Li Wen" as predicted by the media?
Netizens in the mainland are full of expectations, and Chinese people in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas who are paying attention to this year's Golden Horse are also very curious.After Fan Yichen performed the theme song "No Music" from "Cape No. [-]", the judges of this year's Golden Horse Awards, Chen Shengchang and Chen Lerong, walked onto the stage hand in hand.

The two stood still on the awards stage, and Chen Shengchang waved the envelope in his hand.

"Well, without further ado, who will win the Best Director trophy tonight?"

"Let's look at the big screen first."

"The nominees for the Best Director Award at the 45th Golden Horse Awards are——"

"Wei Desheng's "Cape No. [-]""

"Chen Kexin's "Notice of Investment""

"Sylvia Chang's "A Good Dad""

"Wu Yuan's "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die""

On the big screen, half of the VCR displayed highlights of the four movies, and half of the screen switched back and forth between the four nominees.

Among them, the most concerned ones are Chen Kexin from Hong Kong Island and Wu Yuan from the mainland.

Chen Kexin's style tonight is quite unique.

Although he was also wearing a suit, he had long shawl hair, and a bunch of hair on his forehead was dyed with white highlights, full of a bohemian artistic atmosphere.

In comparison, Wu Yuan relies entirely on his appearance.

He is also wearing a black suit, but he has neat short hair, and his three-dimensional and exquisite facial features are not inferior to those of the new and old male idols such as Wu Chun, Andy Lau, Zhang Chen, and Zhang Zhilin who came to the scene today.

When Wu Yuan appeared on the screen, even if everyone was already familiar with his face, they still couldn't help but sigh. It's such a pity that such a handsome face is not an actor, but a director working behind the scenes. .

Feng Xiaogang, who was in the audience, couldn't help but tilted his head and said to Wang Zhonglei sitting next to him: "It's a shame that Director Wu doesn't direct and act himself. If I have such a face, why should I be a director?"

Yes, Huayi’s boss Wang Zhonglei also came to participate in this year’s Golden Horse Awards, and even went on stage to receive the award for Liu Heng, the screenwriter of “Assembly” who won the best adapted screenplay.

However, he did not interact with Wu Yuan, but deliberately kept a distance.

"Director Wu's face is probably the least important advantage of him." Wang Zhonglei shook his head and did not agree with Feng Xiaogang's statement at all.

As a businessman, he doesn't care about looks. In his opinion, Wu Yuan's talents in the directing and commercial fields are much more important than his handsome face.

His face will always grow old and ugly one day, but the talent in his mind will not. On the contrary, it will make him richer and richer.

The reason why Wang Zhonglei deliberately kept a distance from Wu Yuan and did not talk to Wu Yuan on the spot was because he knew that he could not provide any resources to cooperate with Wu Yuan now.

He also wanted to use Wu Yuan's channels to go overseas, but Huayi couldn't come up with any chips that could exchange Wu Yuan's overseas channels.

Two Bingbing?There is no shortage of actors in the age of light and shadow.

money?
Wu Yuan earns money in Hollywood and is not short of money at all.

Personal connections?

Whether at home or abroad, Wu Yuan's connections in the circle are deeper than those of the two kings of Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei thought about it, but he couldn't think of any way he could cooperate with Wu Yuan and let Wu Yuan take Huayi to Hollywood.

In this case, there is no need for him to show off in front of Wu Yuan. He has no cooperation anyway. He is a well-respected boss in domestic entertainment. Why should he stick to Wu Yuan's side to establish friendship like others?
Anyway, resources cannot be obtained by just saying a few nice words. If Huayi masters the resources Wu Yuan needs in the future, cooperation will naturally be achieved.

He crossed his legs and sat leisurely in the guest seat. He looked at Wu Yuan's face on the big screen and said, "Director Wu is going to steal the show tonight."

"If a listed company is listed in the Light and Shadow Era, this Golden Horse Award can increase the company's stock price by 20%."

Hearing Xian Zhi's elegance, Feng Xiaogang next to him looked happy: "Is the listing of the company finalized?"

"Yes." Wang Zhonglei nodded reservedly: "We will start the listing process next year, and we will be the first private film company in the mainland to share."

Feng Xiaogang also has Huayi shares. He got them when he signed into the company, and he has a lot of shares.

The smile on his face this time was so sincere. When the live cameras were scanning, I thought Feng Xiaogang was broad-minded. He was not shortlisted for Best Director, but he was happy for the other shortlisted directors.

As we all know, Feng Xiaogang is not a person with this kind of personality. Now he was smiling so happily that the on-site director was stunned and froze on his face for several seconds.

"It seems that Director Feng recognizes the directors shortlisted for Best Director this year."

"It should be because director Wu, who is also a mainland director, was also shortlisted."

Many Taiwanese audiences at the scene were talking about it. It seems that the mainland directors are still very united.

"So, the winner of the 45th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Director is——"

At this time, on the awards stage, after giving everyone enough time to watch the shortlisted VCRs, award judge Chen Shengchang opened the envelope in his hand and lifted the card inside with Chen Lerong.

"Wu Yuan, congratulations!"
