Although he had acted calmly before, when he actually read his name, Cheng Yuan's palms couldn't help but start sweating.

As a human being from two lives, this is the closest I have ever been to the prestigious National Film Award.

The away game in Brussels does not count.

Cheng Lingfeng on the side was even more nervous than him, holding a beautiful white dress tightly in her hands.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Cheng Yu'an pretended to smile casually and said: "These clothes cost tens of thousands, aren't you afraid that they will be damaged?"

"I know, but I can't help it." After Cheng Yu'an said this, Cheng Lingfeng stopped pinching her clothes and firmly held Cheng Yu'an's arm.

"If you're nervous, pinch yourself. Why pinch me?"

The big screen on stage cut to shots of the three nominees.

Wulan Tana and Xu Cairen were both dressed in black. Wulan Tana had a solemn expression; Xu Cairen pretended to be relaxed, but with his hands crossed on his legs, he was also very nervous; Cheng Yuan was dressed in a decent black suit and was sitting in his seat.

Make a smile on your face.

I only heard the female guest on the stage start to say: "The 23rd China Golden Rooster Film Award for Director's Debut...is..."

The male guest took over: "Wulantana..."

The female guest continued: "With Xu Cairen."

When the live music started playing, Wulan Tana's expression became more relaxed, but she couldn't say how happy she was. Xu Cairen breathed a long sigh of relief, shook hands with the people around him, patted his chest and went on stage.

Cheng Lingfeng's expression was dull and incredulous.

Cheng Yuan sat aside and smiled meaningfully, shaking his head slightly.

Wang Zhiwen patted Cheng Yuan on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged. Without this award, "Sniper Phone Booth" would still be a good movie."

"I see."

Cheng Lingfeng reacted and stood up to leave. Cheng Yu'an grabbed her and said, "Sit down! If you leave now, the whole world will see a joke."

Cheng Lingfeng sat down and looked expressionlessly at Xu Cairen on the stage delivering his acceptance speech.

…………

"It's a pity to lose! It's not worth it for the audience to snipe the phone booth"

"Xia Yu and Yu Nan unexpectedly won the best actor and actress, Sniper Phone Booth is the biggest regret of the year"

"Audiences question the award process and demand that the selection criteria be made public"

The Golden Rooster Awards are over, and the outside world is making a lot of noise.

Some people were criticizing the judges before the award was announced, but now it appears that the most popular movie of the year was not selected for the Director's Debut Award.

The audience's emotions were instantly triggered.

"Has anyone watched "Dad and Me"?" Someone posted a question online.

"This movie has not even been released in China. It is said to be on the Lunar New Year holiday at the end of the year."

“Why should we give awards to movies that haven’t even been released yet?”

"She is talented. Xu Talented Girl, Xu Talented Girl, I don't know where she is talented."

In response to the doubts, the Golden Rooster Award jury repeatedly emphasized the scientific and fair selection process: "We have a complete set of scientific selection processes. As long as the works that stand out in this process represent our position. There is nothing wrong with what netizens said.

Favoritism and connections.”

Distance Media chose to remain silent on this matter.

Cheng Lingfeng went back angrily and started preparing for "Legend of Sword and Fairy", while Cheng Yu'an plunged into the post-production of "The Butterfly Effect".

The company's administrative personnel only said: "We respect the selection of the Golden Rooster Awards. Awards are only one aspect. What we care more about is the audience's reputation."

The post-production of "The Butterfly Effect" was completed before, and Cheng Yu'an no longer needed to keep an eye on it.

Finally, at the end of November, all post-production of "The Butterfly Effect" was completed, and Cheng Yu'an took the finished film to Shanghai Film Group for a test screening.

It is scheduled to be released nationwide on Friday the 2nd after New Year's Day.

Shanghai Film Academy originally wanted to arrange a small-scale screening on December 22, but Cheng Yuan did not agree because "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" will be released on the 21st.

There is no need to press behind him.

Shanghai Film Academy watched the finished film "The Butterfly Effect" and was very surprised, especially at the end. No one expected that the protagonist would return to his mother's belly and strangle himself to death.

Ren Zhonglun stood up excitedly and held Cheng Yuan's hand enthusiastically: "I can't believe that Director Cheng is only 21 years old. With such mature narrative and editing, I believe you even if you say he is an old director who has been making films for decades. Don't worry, Director Cheng.

Shanghai Film Film Corporation will definitely support the nationwide distribution of "The Butterfly Effect" in accordance with its previous agreement."

After having dinner with the people from Shanghai Film Studio that night, Cheng Yuan went back to the hotel to rest and returned to the company the next afternoon.

The filming schedule for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was given for half a year, and the preparation period was given for two to three months.

Cheng Lingfeng learned wisely this time. Instead of doing everything by herself, she roped in several partners.

Needless to say, Dragon TV, Cheng Yuan was surprised that Cheng Lingfeng actually pulled Hainan Zhouyi into the car.

Zhouyi is a magical company, and its founder is an out-and-out martial arts fan.

Just look at the TV series they make and you will know.

"History of the Martial Arts", "Love Through Time and Space", "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Xiao Shiyilang" and "Shuiyue Cave".

It can be said that Zhouyi's costume drama has taken over the childhood of a generation.

Unfortunately, with the decline of martial arts dramas and internal reasons within the company, there was no news about Zhou Yi 10 years after "Peacock Feather". He disappeared overnight.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" has a game as its basis, so the script will not be difficult to write, but what is difficult to do is the special effects.

Yuan Yuan has little experience in this area. The few movies and TV series he has produced so far do not use special effects.

Cheng Lingfeng and Cheng Yuan led their team to visit constantly and have been nervously preparing for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

It’s December, the busiest month of the year.

Feng Xiaogang returns to the Lunar New Year festival with "Mobile Phone".

Zhang Liuzi made headlines with one punch.

Ke Shouliang drank and could no longer take off.

This year’s Lunar New Year stalls are a bit different.

In addition to "Cell Phone", there is also "Jade Goddess of Mercy" by Zhao Yanzi and Nicholas Tse, and the next day is "A Date with the Police" by Xia Yu, this year's Golden Rooster Best Actor.

By January, except for "The Butterfly Effect," there were no movies worth paying attention to.

Cheng Yu'an thought of the turmoil caused by Xiao Cui in later generations because of "Cell Phone". If Fan Xiaopang knew what happened in the future, he didn't know what he would think.

If I remember correctly, Fan Xiaopang will win the Baihua Best Actress for "Cell Phone".

Cheng Yu'an bought a ticket to see "Mobile Phone", but he didn't like the movie.

It can be seen from this that Director Feng has been very naughty in recent years and wants to pursue the so-called artistic ideal and let others see that he is not a commercial film director full of greed and can also make art films.

But on the other hand, being tied to Huayi's car and having his own reasons made him reluctant to let go of his lovable comedy genre.

With a box office of tens of millions, how can we just let it go?

The release of "Hero" stimulated him even more, 250 million!

Who doesn’t want it!

So he is very stubborn.

One side is art, the other side is business.

He wanted to find a balance, so he created experimental works like "Mobile Phone".

There are also the following "Night Banquet" and "Youth".

Let’s talk about this year’s Lunar New Year holiday.

After all, "Mobile Phone" is Feng Xiaogang's return to the Lunar New Year film after two years, and no one can challenge his title of "King of Lunar New Year Films".

Feng Xiaogang's name is equivalent to the Lunar New Year holiday to a certain extent.

Therefore, "Mobile Phone" earned 15 million at the box office in its first three days.

The base camp in Beijing contributed more than 4 million.

Because Feng Xiaogang's movies have a strong Beijing flavor, they have not performed well in the South, especially in the Cantonese market.

"Mobile Phone" only took in 400,000 box office in its first weekend in Suicheng.

On this day, Cheng Yuan was reading documents in the office, and Cheng Lingfeng walked in.

"Take a look." Cheng Lingfeng said.

Cheng Yu'an didn't look up: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the Zhao Ling'er I chose."

Cheng Yu'an raised his head, and Cheng Lingfeng took a step away to let the person behind him come out.

Of course it’s Liu Yifei who doesn’t appear in many chapters.

At this time, Liu Yifei was wearing an ancient costume, and Cheng Yuan recognized her appearance as Zhao Ling'er in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Liu Yifei got up and shouted to Cheng Yu'an: "Brother Xiaoyao."

Cheng Yu'an looked Liu Yifei up and down and nodded: "That's right, this is the sister Ling'er I want."

Then he asked the little girl: "What has Sissi been busy with in the past few months?"

Liu Yifei said: "I have been filming in Bay Island before, and I just came back to rest for a few days. Sister Lingfeng asked me to play Zhao Ling'er."

"You can't call her sister in the future!" Cheng Yu'an corrected, "You are my junior sister, not a few years younger than me. If you call her sister, won't I also call you aunt?"

"Leave him alone." Cheng Lingfeng hugged Liu Yifei.

"Zhao Ling'er is here, how is Li Xiaoyao doing?" Cheng Yu'an asked.
Chapter completed!
