King of Special Effects

Chapter 478 , Awards Ceremony! (28)

The film festival has officially started. This year is not a familiar pattern. The scene will be broadcast live through CCTV Movie Channel and Pudong Satellite TV.

There is a huge electronic silver screen on the four sides of the auditorium, and some VCRs will play through it.

At the beginning, it was a mixed edit of film clips from the last Pudong International Film Festival to the present, including Yi Yang's "Under Deep Space".

"Progress" is still in theaters, and we will have to wait until the end of the movie to know what the final result of this movie will be.

Two of Yi Yang's films broke into the top ten highest-grossing films in the world. For this achievement alone, many viewers thought that Yi Yang must win a bunch of awards.

However, the awarding of movies is not just based on the box office. The judges have to consider all aspects. Movies are an art. To evaluate a movie, you have to start from the perspective of artistic value.

At the beginning, it was a long and passionate speech by the president of the Film Association, which outlined the development history of Chinese films and world films from the beginning of the last century to the present.

Today's film market has spread to every corner of the world.

With the development of the technological age, movies also present people with surreal worlds one after another.

Science fiction is an eternal theme.

The president wore glasses, and his long speech was still unscripted, and it was broadcast live, so it may have taken him a long time just to memorize the script.

After the speech, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

This is China, and of course the president speaks in Chinese. There are many international friends in the audience. Yi Yang is sure that many people don’t listen much to what the president just said, but everyone applauds and they follow suit, like Said that Director Cameron was sitting next to Yi Yang.

While applauding, he approached Yi Yang and asked in a low voice, "What did he just say?"

Yi Yang explained to him: "An overview of the development of the film industry."

Cameron nodded: "Sorry, I have learned Chinese, but I just didn't learn it well."

After the completion of various procedural matters, the next step is the award ceremony of the Golden Goblet Awards.

This is the theme of the film festival. Many people, including Yi Yang, traveled all the way to Pudong for this award.

There are Chinese and foreigners sitting on the jury table. They judge the various awards of the film together, and then come up with the final award result.

It started with the best picture award.

Yi Yang's "Under the Deep Space" was nominated for this award.

"Next, we invite Mr. Lin Fanhua, Chairman of the Art Review Committee of the National Film Bureau, to announce the results of the awards."

The host played his role. Lin Fanhua, who was in his fifties, stepped onto the stage, put on his glasses while walking, and took the microphone and the manuscript with the award results from the host.

"Everyone knows that in the past two years, Chinese-language films have achieved unprecedented development. Our film artists have shot many good-looking films. Among them, there have been several representative tasks: Guo Fan, Wu Jin , Yi Yang, etc., many, many, together, they have pushed our country's film industry to a higher level."

"Next, I announce that the work that won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Film at this year's Pudong International Film Festival is... the sci-fi theme "Under the Deep Space" shot by the famous director Yi Yang."

"Congratulations!"

There was bursts of applause from the audience. There was no suspense for many people that this award would be won by Yi Yang.

The lights and the camera of the live broadcast turned to Yi Yang's position. At this moment, he was getting up from his seat and walking towards the stage.

In the director's room in the background, the director also cut the live broadcast to Yi Yang's camera.

"Thank you very much, all the friends who supported me, as well as the judges and friends in the field, thank you very much!"

On this stage, Yi Yang didn't have much to say, his purpose was to bring this award down from the stage.

"We all know that in just a few years, director Yi Yang has created tens of billions of movie box office, and pushed another Chinese-language movie to the international scale."

"In the past year, "Under Deep Space", with a box office of 1.48 billion US dollars, ranked in the top ten of the global movie box office for the first time."

"The movie "Progress", which is currently in theaters, has grown by leaps and bounds. It took only one month to take the fifth place."

"Yi Yang, this young director, has used his strength to create miracles one after another. Let us congratulate him with warm applause!"

Encouraged by the host, there was another warm applause at the scene.

As usual, awards, trophies, and a bouquet of big red flowers were presented.

Yi Yang just said a few acceptance speeches, because he didn't prepare too much, so he could only make up those few sentences by editing on the spot.

He took the award, stepped off the stage and returned to his seat.

People around sent congratulatory voices.

"Congratulations to Director Yi Yang!"

"This is the second time you have won this award at the Pudong International Film Festival. Congratulations to Director Yi Yang."

Cameron also stood up and hugged Yi Yang: "Congratulations, my friend!"

Yi Yang thanked them one by one, then sat down and continued to watch the content on the stage.

Next, there is another award related to Yi Yang, and that is the Best Director Award.

Similarly, Yi Yang has already won this award once, if he wins it again, it will be the second time.

There are many directors nominated for this award, and the judges may not choose Yi Yang.

The next thing to be awarded is the "Judges' Award". Looking back at the previous Pudong International Film Festival, it seems that domestic films have only won this award twice. One is the feature film "Victory" directed by Zhang Meng, and the other is the Tibetan film " Ala Jiangse".

"The Climber" starring Wu Jin and directed by Li Rengang was also nominated for this award this year.

I just don't know who will end up with it.

After a few minutes, the winner of the award is announced by a panel of judges.

"The film that won the Golden Goblet Jury Prize at this year's Pudong International Film Festival is... "The Climber."

Applause sounded, and Li Rengang, who was sitting in the auditorium opposite Yi Yang, stood up and went to the stage to accept the award.

In the past two years, excellent domestic films have emerged one after another, and it is also a golden age for the development of powerful domestic filmmakers.

For example, at this film festival, what I saw was not the scene full of fresh meat like in previous years.

Today's streaming star movies are not very popular. Under the impact of various excellent movies, the movies that rely on the accumulation of stars are made one after another, and in the end, investors dare not spend money on these people.

Most of the traffic stars who have no talent for acting also quit the film circle wisely to develop what they are good at.

Of course, there are still some people who don't know how to live or die, but they stick to this again and again. There is no way, the profit-driven drive of the film industry is very powerful.

Moreover, their character design is accumulated by packaging. If they don't develop their strength in the film and television industry, they should be eliminated in a few years.

On the contrary, the truly powerful actors can last for a long time.

Some traffic stars don't want to make themselves obsolete, but they still don't seek to make progress, they don't know how much they are, and they think they have become gods with a little achievement, and they start to be defiant.

The lessons of history tell us that such people often don't jump for long.
