I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 333 331. Hints of Huabiao Award

  After Xu Xin said this...he realized something was wrong.

  In an instant, his face turned completely red.

   "Uh... no... no no no..."

   "...haha~"

  Looking at the red-faced young man, Zhou Xingchi couldn't help laughing.

   Then he stretched out his hand actively:

   "Director Xu, I have a chance to work together in the future."

   "...Huh? Uh...I..."

  Abaaaba stayed for a long time, Xu Xin, who couldn't say a word, held Zhou Xingchi's hand with both hands.

   Shaking hard:

"Um!"

   Zhou Xingchi nodded with a smile, patted Xu Xin's arm again, and said to Jay Chou:

   "I'll go over there first."

  He actually came by himself.

   This is the meaning of the end of the meeting.

  Jay Chou understood, and so did Xu Xin, so he quickly let go.

   Zhou Xingchi nodded slightly to Lang Lang, and then walked in the direction of Wu Yusen.

  The two should be quite familiar with each other, and they put on smiling faces when they met.

  The four of them just looked at Zhou Xingchi who was chatting with Wu Yusen...until Wang Sicong said:

   "Old Xu."

   "?"

   "I lost my adult~"

   "..."

   Facing these words, Xu Xin unexpectedly did not refute, but murmured:

   "One actor a year, Zhou Xingchi in a hundred years..."

   "Tsk..."

  Hearing this, Lang Lang sighed with emotion.

  Although it was the first time he heard this sentence, he felt that it was... particularly appropriate.

   is very apt.

  …

   Zhou Xingchi's arrival seems to have opened up everyone's chatterbox.

  At this moment, the entire waiting area can be said to be overcrowded.

  Even the crew of "Daye" is enough to come.

  Xu Xin also saw the third master Han.

   and a lot of big names.

  Everyone is talking with someone they know or want to make friends with, but these four people in the corner seem to be more or less out of place.

Occasionally, people who pass by, or want to make friends, want to find a topic to meet Xu Xin or ask Jay Chou for a photo, when they get close to hear a few people chatting, they will look at them with strange faces. eyes, and then left silently.

"The most unacceptable thing I can do is "Return to the Soul Night"...Really, I really think that movie is quite scary. Until now, I dare not watch it alone...Many people watch that movie and find it amusing, but I think it is scary. Especially the place where you wipe the cow's tears..."

   "I'm a bit against "Ouchi Secret Detective Ling Lingfa", and I can't explain why, but I always feel that the film has a strong cult flavor. It feels weird~"

   "I'm okay with these two films!...Actually, I like to watch all his films, but if I really had to pick one that I dislike the most, it might be "A Chinese Journey to the West"~"

   "I rely on..."

   "..."

"…are you crazy?"

   "Hey, please, I'm so obsessed with Zhu Yin... Every time I see Zhizunbao let go of Zixia's hand because of the tightened headband, my heart will hurt~"

   "You want to say that, it seems like this."

""A Chinese Journey to the West" is indeed unsatisfactory, although the final song is very nice. But it would be even better if Zhizunbao and Zixia could be together. Although the final ending... I can barely accept it, but it is still quite helpless... "

   Four old men.

   Just huddled in a pile, chatting about Zhou Xingchi's movies.

  Some of the people next to me were full of strange eyes.

  These four...what are they doing here?

"Hey, I've made up my mind, how about we come tonight like this? Buy a bag of barbecue, bring wine, the four of us close the door, and each of us will watch a movie that we recommended by Master Xing. Chat while eating and drinking. chant~"

   "Masterpiece Classic: Zhou Xingchi Chapter?"

   "I think it will work..."

   After chatting and chatting, the few people who finally decided on tonight's "schedule" feel at ease.

   And the time is almost up.

  The staff of Huabiao Awards over there came to inform the red carpet to start.

  Everyone collected their thoughts and found out the number plate as instructed.

  …

   "No. 19, "The Unspeakable Secret"...Teachers, wait a moment..."

  Xu Xin, who was standing at the door, heard what the director said, and said directly:

   "Just go out together on 19 and 20, and we will go together."

   "Well, okay...Director, is it okay to release "The Unspeakable Secret" on the 19th and "Lang Lang 2008" on the 20th?...OK."

  Already said hello in advance, and now after confirming it again, soon after the host over there finished the interview, the director opened the curtain.

  The four of them walked out together.

  The appearance of Jay Chou was immediately cheered by fans on both sides of the road:

"ah!!"

  At the same time, the voice of the hostess also sounded:

   "Next will be the director of "The Unspeakable Secret" Xu Xin, and the lead actor, Jay Chou, the king of Asia!"

"ah!!!!"

  Amidst the cheers, Jay Chou and Xu Xin waved to the cheering people on both sides.

   Immediately afterwards, the voice of the male host sounded:

   "At the same time, there are internationally renowned pianist Lang Lang, and Mr. Wang Sicong, the representative of the publisher."

  Hearing this, Wang Sicong glanced at Lang Lang.

   "Enough dude."

   "Haha~"

   Lang Lang grinned.

   Four people walked side by side along the red carpet towards the host.

   "I heard that the four are also very good friends in real life. Today it seems that the costumes are all uniform."

   "Yes, welcome to the arrival of the four~ The cheers from our fans at the scene were especially enthusiastic."

   "This is also the charm of our Huabiao Awards..."

   Under the words of the two hosts, finally, the four people came to the signature wall together.

   Each took the pen and signed his signature on the edge of the blackboard.

  Then stood in a row in front of the camera.

   "Welcome Director Xu Xin, welcome Jay Lun and Lang Lang."

   After all, he is CCTV's own son, even the name is different.

  Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded with a smile, and took the microphone from the host.

   "Director Xu Xin came this time as the director of the film "The Unspeakable Secret". This is the first time he came to the Huabiao Awards. What kind of mood does he have?"

  “…I came here with the attitude of learning.”

  Xu Xin said modestly:

   "There are many seniors and excellent filmmakers present. I came here with the mentality of learning from the seniors."

   “What about the awards, what are your expectations?”

   "It would be my honor to be recognized. But I know that I still have many shortcomings, so I hope that I can learn more from everyone."

  His answer made the three people next to him start to whisper...

  Old Xu started farting again.

   These words obviously have no nutrition at all.

   But no matter what, his question was answered.

   Naturally handed over the microphone to Jay Chou.

   "Hello, Jay..."

  …

"The award-winning films of the 13th Huabiao Awards for outstanding co-productions are..."Ip Man", "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", "If You Are the One", "Secrets You Cannot Tell"! The award-winning films for excellent digital films are..."Eighteen" A Fingerprint", "The King of Chess and His Son", "XLGL Wen Chuan", "Horizontal and Vertical"! Congratulations!"

   "Wow la la la la la..."

  Polite applause resounded in the venue.

  Xu Xin applauded, got up and walked towards the stage.

  Under the strange eyes of the three behind...

   "It's the same as shish kebabs...beautiful."

  Wang Sicong muttered to Lang Lang beside him.

  Lang Lang nodded while applauding.

   It looks like he is nodding in agreement, but in fact...

   "Now you know why Lao Xu said that the pork is divided?"

   "Understood. It's not an exaggeration at all~"

  Looking at the people, including Xu Xin, who came to the stage one after another, the two of them really looked "sentimental".

   And the people who present co-productions and digital films are not all the directors of the individual films. For example, the king of Huayi attended as the honoree of "If You Are the One".

   When Xu Xin and him met on stage, they shook hands.

  Feng Xiaogang in the audience is the representative of "Assembly" and did not choose to accept the award in this play.

  Nine people lined up, Xu Xin has no so-called concept of competing for the C position.

   stood on the very edge.

  Listening to the introduction of each film at the scene, after introducing one by one, the hostess came to the stage with a tray.

  The award presenters, Su Youpeng, Zhang Jiahui, and Miaopu, who played Bai Xiaonian in "The Wind", jointly distributed awards to these people.

  Because he stood on the edge, Xu Xin was the first to be awarded the award.

  Su Youpeng held the certificate of honor, held it in front of Xu Xin with both hands, and said with a smile:

   "Director Xu, congratulations!"

"Thanks."

  Xu Xin nodded with a smile.

  Then, the nursery in the middle is also holding a trophy in the shape of Huabiao sculpture with both hands:

   "Director Xu, congratulations."

"Thanks."

  Finally, Zhang Jiahui's flowers.

   Soon, after the trophies were awarded to the 9 people, amidst the sound of passionate music, everyone held the trophies and certificates in unison, waved to the crowd, and then walked off the stage from the right under the host's auspices.

   All the way back to his seat, he heard many people say "Congratulations" to him.

  Some know it, and some don't.

   While returning to his seat with a polite smile all the way, he handed the certificate and trophy to Jay Chou immediately.

   Just now, he missed the competition for the Outstanding Film Music Award, but was won by "Assembly".

   "Comfort and comfort you."

   Hearing this, Jay Chou smiled.

  He actually doesn't care about awards or not.

  For him, "The Secret" is over, and the wish in his heart has been fulfilled.

  So after just looking at it, he handed the trophy to Wang Sicong and Lang Lang next to him.

  Both of them looked at it too, then quickly lost interest.

Again.

  Since pork is distributed, there is no such thing as rare and expensive.

   Not to mention the "Excellent Co-production Film" award, just by looking at the literal meaning, you can know what kind of existence it is.

   Or more intuitively...

  Xu Xin really didn't think this trophy was qualified to be placed in the exhibition cabinet of his home.

  Just tell the truth.

   "What's next?"

   "A new director and an excellent feature film."

  Weighing the heavy trophy in his hand, he watched the ballet performance on stage and said in a low voice.

   Soon, Lang Lang also brought back one.

   "Excellent Documentary".

  His "Lang Lang's Song: Dedicated to 2008" won the award together with "People First" and "Building Dreams 2008".

  The award-winning director of "Building a Dream 2008" Gu Yan and Xu Xin have also dealt with it.

  At that time, her documentary submitted a filming application to the director team.

   Xu Xin personally rejected it.

   It's not that there is any prejudice against her, but that it was the busiest time for the Olympic team at that time, and there was no one to be interviewed for a documentary, and they didn't want to be interviewed.

  At that time, everyone was under tremendous pressure, and they were really not in the mood.

  The Olympic director group also has its own documentary, but more of it is a documentary about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, called "Zhang Yimou's 2008", which has already been screened on Travel Satellite TV.

   The response is quite good.

  At the same time, the documentary "Zhang Yimou's 2008" has been permanently collected by the Olympic Memorial Hall, so that more people can see the stories behind the opening and closing ceremonies.

   This is a serious "self" documentary. Compared with Gu Yan's film, it is naturally impossible for the rich water to be left to outsiders.

  …

   Soon, Ning Hao, Yu Nan, and Ren Quan, the award presenters of the "Excellent New Director Award", came to the microphone and began the process of presenting the "New Director".

   As for the works of new directors shortlisted together with "Secret", there are two works.

  One is "The Chess King and His Son".

  The other one is "XLGL · Wenchuan".

   This film is about a family of three in Wenchuan who traveled to XLGL in 2007 and met a very good herdsman, the "Buren" family. The two parties agreed to invite the "Buren" family to visit Wenchuan in 2008.

  But when the Buren family arrived in Wenchuan, the family of three had already died...

   This is the award that Xu Xin cares about the most.

   It's not that he wants to get this title, but he wants to figure out one thing.

   That is whether the wind direction of the Huabiao Award is in line with foreign countries, or it has its own ideas.

  So, when Ning Hao and the others were hosting on stage, Xu Xin just listened quietly with a smile on his face, facing the camera that was always pointing at him.

   Waited until Ning Hao took out the envelope:

   "The winner of the 13th Huabiao Award for Outstanding Newcomer Director is..."

  He seemed a little surprised.

   After a pause in tone, he said into the microphone:

   "Director of "XLGL·Wen Chuan": Hai Tao."

   "Wow la la la la la la..."

  The moment Xu Xin heard the name, Xu Xin applauded first.

  The whole face is filled with sincere expressions and sincere blessings.

   Haitao, who was on the big screen at the scene, was a little surprised. He looked around... as if he was looking for something.

   but not found.

  Finally, he stood up and went to the stage to accept the award and delivered his acceptance speech.

   "Old Xu..."

  Wang Sicong seemed to want to say something.

  But Xu Xin raised his hand slightly.

   Seeing this, the young master fell silent.

   With a bald head, Haitao, who looked tall and thin, walked onto the podium, received the prize and stood in front of the microphone.

"Well…"

  He hesitated, and then said:

"Thanks to the Huabiao Award for awarding this honor to me. As a new director, I have too many deficiencies. It is my dream to be recognized by this honor. I hope that in the future I will also give more Good works are brought to everyone, and I would like to thank all the judges of the Huabiao Award again, thank you."

   After speaking, bow politely and step down.

  Wang Sicong, who was sitting at the bottom, noticed...another camera pointed at this side and turned on a red light.

   "Wow, la la la..."

  He turned his head and glanced at Xu Xin who was smiling and applauding.

  Finally, they also joined the applause.

  In this way, with the awarding of the awards for the newcomer category, the awarding of outstanding actors, actresses, directors and other awards began.

  The Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actress was won by Zhang Ziyi in "Mei Lanfang" and Fan Zhibo in "Sudden Incident".

  The outstanding actor award was won by Zhang Hanyu of "Assembly" and Guo Jinglin of "Old Yuan".

  The excellent directors are Feng Xiaogang from "Assembly" and Chen Kaige from "Mei Lanfang".

Finally, as the finale of the excellent feature film, "Sudden Incident", "Iron Man", "Six Sisters of Yimeng", "College Entrance Examination 1977", "Assembly", "Mei Lanfang", "The Great River", "My Left Hand" , "August 1st" and "Old Yuan" were obtained.

  The 13th Huabiao Awards came to an end on this glorious night.

   "The Unspeakable Secret" won a trophy and an honorary certificate.

  The guests present began to leave.

  But the winners still need to go to the exhibition area to take pictures.

  So when the four people left the venue, they followed the staff and were taken to the interview area of ​​the exhibition.

  As soon as I passed by, I saw many reporters surrounding Chen Kaige.

   There is also a group of people waiting to take pictures with trophies in the exhibition area.

   Jay Chou thought for a while and said:

   "Can you go with Lang Lang? Vivian is over there, I'll go say hello."

  The Vivian he was talking about was Xu Ruoxuan.

   is also the lyricist of "Lovely Woman".

   "Yeah. Old Wang, wait for us outside when you two finish your work."

"no problem."

  The two sides separated, and Jay Chou went there to say hello to Xu Ruoxuan.

  Xu Xin and Lang Lang followed the winners' team, waiting to take pictures.

  At this time, a female voice sounded:

   "Director Xu, long time no see."

  Xu Xin turned his head to look, smiled and nodded:

   "Mr. Jingwei, long time no see."

   Jingwei, the host of the six princesses.

  At the same time, he is also the host of the premiere of "Golden Armor", and the host of the simultaneous sound of the film and television during the promotion of "The Unspeakable Secret".

  Xu Xin met her once on "Secret".

   During the promotion of "The Wind", I formally met through Yang Mi's relationship.

  Although they are not very familiar, they at least belong to the category of "friends".

   As the host of the Huabiao Awards, Jingwei, who seemed to have not changed his clothes, walked over and greeted Lang Lang again:

   "Mr. Lang Lang, hello."

   "Hey, hello."

   After Lang Lang said politely, Xu Xin asked:

   "Mr. Jingwei, aren't you going to change clothes for the dinner party?"

   "Change."

   Jingwei nodded with a smile:

   "But after all, I didn't have time to say hello to Director Xu just now, so come and have a look first."

  Hearing this, Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

   "Is that so..."

   Then he glanced at Lang Lang.

  Lang Lang understands in seconds:

   "Then I will go to queue first."

"good."

  Following Xu Xin's response, Lang Lang walked forward with the trophy.

  Xu Xin took a few steps back, and after exiting the passage, he smiled at Jingwei who followed him:

   "I feel that Teacher Jingwei has lost a lot of weight recently."

  One sentence makes Jingwei smile.

   "Really? Is there? ... Oops, haha~"

   Jingwei, who was still wearing a dress, covered her mouth and smiled, looking in a great mood.

   "Director Xu, how is Mimi's body?"

   "I'm making preparations these days."

   "Ah? Isn't the end of October the due date?"

   "Twins are rarely born at full term. So they may be born at any time this month. After October 1st, they will be admitted to the hospital."

   "Uh, all the hospitals are found?"

   "Well, I went to Hehe. After a round of investigation, both the environment and medical resources there are not bad, and many friends in the circle also recommend going there."

   "That one is good..."

  After the two exchanged a few words about Yang Mi, Jingwei suddenly took the initiative to say:

   "Director Xu, have you watched the "Sudden Incident" that won the award today?"

   "No, I haven't had time to watch it yet."

  Xu Xin smiled and shook his head.

  Hearing this, Jingwei said with a smile:

   "The film premiered in the Great Hall."

  Xu Xin was taken aback.

   then nodded:

   "The quality of the movie is definitely gone."

"Um."

   After Jingwei responded, he continued:

   "After all, this year is a big year. It is indeed quite good that this film can be premiered in the Great Hall, and it is organized by various units."

   "The other films are also very good. They are all great deeds, and the quality of the filming is also excellent... I am planning to watch all these films when I get home."

   Jingwei nodded with a smile:

   "It's a pity that "The Wind" was not submitted, and we can only wait for the 14th session."

   "Haha, I'm quite lucky. After all, there are so many excellent works this year. If "The Wind" is really submitted, it may not be possible to win these excellent films."

   "Then Director Xu is too modest."

   "Haha~"

  The two chatted like this for a while, and all the big directors over there were interviewed.

  Xu Xin said to Jingwei after seeing that Lang Lang was ready to take pictures as a souvenir

   "Okay, then Teacher Jing, hurry up and change your clothes, see you at the dinner party?"

   Jingwei nodded with a smile:

   "Well, see you at the dinner. Director Xu~"

   Latitude and longitude leave.

  Xu Xin came to the photo zone.

  Holding a trophy and a certificate in his hand, he smiled brightly at the camera.

   After taking pictures, when he walked to the interview area, he was surrounded by reporters.

   "Director Xu, this is the first time to participate in the Huabiao Awards. Does the award this time meet your expectations?"

   "To be honest, I am very apprehensive. I can win this award in the hands of so many outstanding filmmakers... I also hope that I will continue to work hard and present better works to everyone."

   "Director Xu, in terms of the award competition for new directors, "The Unspeakable Secret" lost to "XLGL·Wenchuan". What do you want to say? What is your evaluation of this movie?"

  “It’s a very touching movie. Under the lens of director Haitao, every frame of this story makes me feel sincere. He shoots very well, and I have to learn a lot from him.”

   "Director Xu..."

   "Director Xu..."

   Several questions Xu Xin answered in a very official and polite way.

   Then he took the initiative to stop the interview, waved to the reporters and left the Beizhan Theater.

  At the parking lot, there was also a long queue of cars waiting to get out.

   Zhang Jiao, who was waiting at the door, immediately handed over a bottle of iced mineral water. After receiving the trophy and certificate, she led Xu Xin towards the vehicle.

  Getting into the car, Xu Xin smelled smoke.

   "What have I been talking to you about?"

   Lang Lang asked.

"The content of the chat is not nutritious. If you really want to talk about the main thing, it is actually nothing more than a talk with me. The premiere of "Sudden Incident" was premiered in the Great Hall, and various units organized the viewing. The core content That's it."

  Hearing this, Jay Chou, who was sitting in the co-pilot avoiding the smell of cigarettes, turned his head and asked:

   "Is there any special meaning to this sentence?"

"have."

  Xu Xin nodded, lit a cigarette, leaned back on the seat and thought for a while before saying:

"I think...the people from the Huabiao Award should have asked her to come here. Although I can't figure it out, the Huabiao Award is one of the three majors anyway. Why do you value me so much as a young director...But apart from this reason, other people I can't find it."

   "...Why does Huabiao seek you?"

   "Reminds me why I lost out on "New Director" and "Excellent Feature Film."

"…What's the meaning?"

"Literally, if you think about it, the awards for excellent feature films, including the stories that "XLGL" tells. One is about Wenchuan, and the others are gift films. All excellent feature films, all It is following the main theme of this year. This is the main reason why "Secret" failed the list. And Jingwei came here to tell me that even the premiere of "Sudden Incident" was in the auditorium. Our "Secret" "Secret" and the main theme are not next to each other, so the award can only be given to this."

   "Why does it feel like nonsense?"

  Wang Sicong scratched his head:

   "She came here on purpose just to tell you this?"

   "No bullshit."

  Xu Xin waved his hand:

"Two points, that's right. The first point is to tell me that the subject matter was not chosen correctly. Otherwise, I might get more things... That's why she told me later that "The Wind" can only wait for the 14th session. And the second point... I don't know if it counts as I think too much, but I always feel that the Huabiao Award is like reminding me how to win the award will be easier...

  And the latitude and longitude are very special in themselves. Think about it, the host doesn’t change clothes after the show is over, but instead comes to see you specifically to talk about the “reason” for a movie to win a prize… Isn’t that a bit too obvious? "

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  The three of them didn't say a word.

   Instead, think silently.

  But speaking from the heart, in terms of this sense of smell, they are indeed a lot worse than Xu Xin.

  Finally, Wang Sicong asked:

   "It means that the 14th "The Wind" can win many awards?"

   "Not sure."

  Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"But it shouldn't be too bad...but the more they do this, the more strange I get. Because if they really show favor to me...it doesn't make sense. This is the Huabiao Award. Even if you say it divides pork, it is also one of the top three. One. I'm a small director, so it's worth them asking me to say something?"

  His eyes were full of doubt and incomprehension.

   "Wheel, have you ever encountered such a thing?"

"No. No matter if it's a music award, big or small, the lottery is the lottery, and it's for whoever it is. No matter if it causes controversy or something, the most you can say in the media is that you have criteria for judging, or what musicality and artistry are. And so on, no one will explain to you why you didn't win the award... It's impossible to think about it. What's more, the Huabiao Award is not a small award, and they are not afraid of offending Ah Xin...so...it's strange~"

  Following his words, the vehicle slowly drove out of the parking area and walked towards the dinner venue of the State Guest House.

  Xu Xin wasn't talking either, he was just smoking a cigarette with eyes full of doubts and incomprehensions.
