Chapter 65 won two major awards
Then, Wang Jiawei slowly walked onto the award stage.
At this moment, everyone is watching the next winning film.
Because this truly is the highest honor.
Wang Jia did not maintain his public persona; he first rubbed his sunglasses against the wall.
Then, in a rather casual manner, he glanced at the card in his hand.
After a while, he announced:
The winning film is "The Unknown"!
As Wang Jiawei finished speaking, the female host's voice rose considerably.
"Congratulations! Let's congratulate director Chen Zhou on winning the highest honor at this year's Shanghai International Film Festival for his film 'The Unknown'."
"This is the Golden Goblet Award for Best Film. Please welcome Director Chen to the stage to accept the award."
"Clap clap clap!" The entire audience erupted in unprecedented applause.
Regarding this result...
Some people wouldn't be surprised.
Since everyone here is in the industry, they must have already seen "The Unknown".
Many people really like this movie.
I also have a great fondness for director Chen Zhou.
For someone like Lu Chuan, hearing this result left him ashen-faced.
It's like something happened at home.
He truly couldn't accept it. Chen Zhou had actually won both Best Director and Best Film.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn't have come to the event in the first place.
He even heard that Chen Zhou was also at the scene.
That's why he came.
Chen Zhou left empty-handed, wanting to see it for himself.
Who would have thought that this would become a witness to Chen Zhou's ascent to the summit?
This made him extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Yifei covered her mouth.
He had an incredulous expression on his face.
Chen Zhou won two of the most important awards tonight.
She was so happy she was about to cry tears of joy for Chen Zhou.
Zhu Yilong, Wang Jingchun, and Chen Minghao.
They were all so excited that words failed them.
In their eyes, Chen Zhou should shine brightly.
They should be brought to the public eye.
Let everyone know that our domestic entertainment industry has produced the best new-era director.
The awards for Best Director and Best Film directly demonstrate Chen Zhou's ability.
Just like now, Chen Zhou remained very calm.
He simply buttoned up his suit jacket there.
The reason for this action is that it was performed twice in a row.
It's because he used to think that those kinds of actions in movies were pretty cool.
It emphasizes a sense of unrestrained freedom.
As Chen Zhou stood up.
Liu Yifei, Zhu Yilong, Wang Jingchun, and Chen Minghao gave each other a hug.
He also congratulated Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou walked onto the stage alone.
He accepted the trophy from the host and then shook hands with Wang Jiawei.
Wang Jia did not tell Chen Zhou:
Congratulations, young man.
"To be honest, when this award was announced, even I, as the chairman of the jury, was incredulous."
"Both of your awards were passed almost unanimously."
"With this result, your future is absolutely limitless."
"Thank you, Director Wang Jiawei," Chen Zhou said politely.
Although he didn't really admire Wang Jiawei.
But it's normal for people to be polite to each other on this kind of stage.
Subsequently, the Wang family did not step down voluntarily.
He gave the stage to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou first glanced at the Best Picture trophy in his hand.
I thought about my acceptance speech for a moment.
Then he said:
"Here, I would like to thank the jury members first. Thank you for liking the film 'The Unknown'."
"And as for other expressions of gratitude, I've already said them."
"So I'd like to take this opportunity to say something to everyone."
"My second theatrical film, 'No Man's Land,' has entered the editing stage."
"I believe it won't be long before we can see it in theaters."
"So please look forward to my next new work."
"I will definitely respond to everyone's expectations and trust with better and better content."
"At the same time, I also hope that my films can spur the development of the domestic film industry."
"Instead of letting some incompetent directors..."
"They've been occupying the radish pit all this time, but they haven't done anything at all."
"This will only cause the quality of domestic films to decline."
"It will also make audiences gradually less willing to go to the cinema."
"This requires the efforts of all those working in the film and television industry."
"I know that saying these things now might offend some people."
"But these are all true."
"Otherwise, we'll wait until the day when audiences are truly disappointed with domestic films and no longer want to go to the cinema."
"Then we'll all be the ones who suffer."
Chen Zhou preached.
These words he spoke all came from his most genuine feelings about the future.
In the future market, there will indeed be more and more bad movies.
Audiences' trust in domestic films has decreased significantly.
Then the film and television industry entered what is known as a "winter".
Many industry professionals are crying and complaining that the overall economic environment is not good.
Then, they called on audiences to go to the cinema more often.
But in reality, this approach is completely meaningless.
Because the film industry has lost the trust of the audience.
Instead of spending money to watch bad movies, it's much more comfortable to drink a few cups of milk tea.
So Chen Zhou's actions can be considered as taking precautions.
As for whether others can listen to him or not, he doesn't care that much.
Anyway, we need to spread this awareness.
There was a long pause after Chen Zhou finished speaking.
The entire room remained completely silent.
Many directors and actors in the audience all had extremely serious expressions.
Because what Chen Zhou said was really too tricky.
It could even be described as harsh.
To put it bluntly, Chen Zhou is indeed the winner now.
And indeed, they won two major awards.
But as soon as he took the stage, he made some remarks urging the industry to develop.
That's a bit too presumptuous.
Just like Lu Chuan.
After hearing what Chen Zhou said.
He felt that Chen Zhou was targeting him.
Because of his previous conversation with Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou has repeatedly implied that he is a mediocre director.
They say he lacks ability, that he's just relying on his connections.
Therefore, he must have felt utterly disgusted by the things Chen Zhou said.
And naturally, there are quite a few professionals who share similar thoughts.
After all, this industry has long been characterized by land grabbing.
More or less, some people enter the circle through connections and background.
For a moment, the scene became somewhat awkward.
But at this very moment...
Only Liu Yifei, Zhu Yilong, Chen Minghao, and Wang Jingchun were seen.
They all stood up at the same time.
Then they each gave a round of applause.
They didn't say anything.
He simply used his applause to change the atmosphere of the scene.
Moreover, their actions are the best support they can give to Chen Zhou.
They did what others dared not do.
They gave the responses that others dared not give.
If others are afraid to cooperate with Chen Zhou, then they will be the ones to cooperate.
Gradually, due to the four of them being the first to react.
Others also gradually took action.
For example, Fan Binbin had taken the initiative to greet Chen Zhou before the opening ceremony.
They had already stood up and applauded Chen Zhou.
