576 Winning an Award
After the celebrities walked down the red carpet, the emcee made another speech. Then, the award ceremony began. The music also changed from a song with a light rhythm to a surging concerto. It was very solemn.
Then, the emcee held the name list and read it out.
“First of all, the person who won the 19th National Hundred Flowers Award for Best Director is…”
The emcee paused at this point, making many directors jump in fear and panic.
“The director of ‘Xueqing Token’, Xu Feng!”
Immediately, there was thunderous applause. Director Xu Feng stood up and pretended to wave at the audience casually. He smiled and walked onto the stage. He took the trophy and took the microphone.
“Thank you for the support of the entire country. Thank you for everyone’s recognition. I hope that in the future, I can bring you a better viewing experience with better works. Thank you.”
With that, he calmly left the stage, leaving behind a carefree back figure. The other directors felt bitter and their eyes turned green.
It couldn’t be helped. If their work didn’t pass, they naturally wouldn’t be able to get the trophy. This was a very real thing.
Then, the emcee spoke again.
“Alright, next, the person who won the National Hundred Flowers Award for the Best Screenwriter is—”
“The screenwriter of ‘Xueqing Token’, Wang Lei!”
The two consecutive wins shocked everyone.
Everyone was shocked by the emcee’s speech. They didn’t expect “Xueqing Token” to win two awards in a row. Was this a gathering of all the outstanding people in one movie?
The screenwriter, Wang Lei, also calmly walked onto the stage. He took the trophy, held the microphone, and looked at everyone affectionately.
“Thank you for your nurturing, Director Xu Feng. Thank you for everyone’s recognition. I’ll produce better works in the future and give everyone a better plot experience. Thank you!”
With that, he calmly left the stage and applauded.
Then, the emcee picked up the microphone and spoke again.
“There are really endless surprises today. Hehe, this movie directly won two awards. This is rare in history. Alright, then next, the person who won the National Hundred Flowers Award for the Best Supporting Actress is…”
“Liu Lan of ‘Xueqing Token’!”
The three consecutive wins shocked everyone.
At this moment, the faces of many directors and screenwriters were red. They wished they could carry a train and run away overnight. Then, they would no longer be too embarrassed to film.
The other party had won three awards for a movie. This was not the end. How could they hold their heads up high if they did not win any awards for their movie? If word got out, they would be too embarrassed to say that they were a director or a screenwriter. They really could not stand it.
The actress, Liu Lan, also jogged onto the stage. She was the beauty called Xiao Lan, whom her sixth sister, Ye Meng, had called earlier. She went on stage and took the trophy with a smile. She held the microphone and spoke.
“Thank you for everyone’s support and Sister Ye Meng’s nurturing. I’ll work harder in the future and make myself better. Thank you!”
When Sixth Sister Ye Meng heard this, she smiled. She still felt very comfortable with this little girl’s sweet talk.
At this moment, the emcee also took the microphone and smiled.
“Our Heavenly Queen of the film industry, Miss Ye Meng, is already a master now, hehe. Alright, next, the person who won the National Hundred Flowers Award for the Best Supporting Actor is—”
“Yan Chen of ‘Red Mountain District’!”
Hearing this, the directors finally heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that “Xueqing Token” would be mentioned again, and their blood pressure soared.
Meanwhile, the director of “Red Mountain District” immediately became unyielding. The smugness on his face could be seen with the naked eye. After all, his film had been nominated. No matter what, he had some dignity.
At this moment, Yan Chen also took the trophy and held the microphone.
“Thank you for the support of the entire country. Thank you for everyone’s recognition. I will definitely work hard to improve myself in the future and bring everyone a better role. Thank you!”
With that, he left the stage. He was still young and a little reserved.
The emcee didn’t waste any time. He held the microphone and continued.
“Alright, the person who won the National Hundred Flowers Award for the Best Actor is—”
“Su Youyin of ‘Xueqing Token’!
Upon hearing this, the directors slapped themselves again. At the same time, they slapped the screenwriter beside them. What kind of concept was a movie with four consecutive wins?
This was simply the concept of dominating the domestic market. Was “Xueqing Token” that good? It had actually been mentioned four times. Was it really going to win all the awards?
At this moment, Su Youyin also went on stage. She was not as reserved as the person before. She calmly took the trophy and held the microphone.
“Thank you everyone for your recognition. I never expected to win the Hundred Flowers Award. I’m really grateful here. I’ll work even harder in the future. Thank you!”
Ye Meng looked at the male lead who had acted with her and was also amused. This man seemed to like her a little, but she had no feelings for him. He looked gentle and refined, and his private life was in a mess. Since he was a little famous, was the male lead, and “Xueqing Token” had become famous, he simply slept with a different fan every day. Ye Meng didn’t even want to talk about it.
At this moment, the emcee had already picked up the microphone again and announced the winner of the last Hundred Flowers Award.
“Lastly, it’s the last trophy winner of the Hundred Flowers Award this year. I believe everyone must have an answer in their hearts. Hehe, alright, the person who won the National Hundred Flowers Award for the Best Actress is—”
“That’s right! It’s Ye Meng from ‘Xueqing Token’!”
The applause was thunderous and more enthusiastic than all the applause for the winners in front. Just as the emcee had said, everyone knew in their hearts that Ye Meng, the Heavenly Queen of the film industry, deserved this award. Just that instantaneous change in emotions was not something ordinary people could do. It was not an exaggeration to call her a veteran actress.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan and his sisters were very happy to hear this announcement. They applauded one after another. Although they already knew the answer in their hearts, they still had to hear it with their own ears. Only then would it be shocking enough and pull their bodies and minds. It was very comfortable.
Those directors no longer had the face to stay any longer. They had no choice. “Xueqing Token” had achieved five wins and almost won all the trophies, but the title of their movie was not even mentioned. It was really embarrassing for their hometown. It was too awkward.
Not only were the other directors embarrassed, but the supporting actor of “Xueqing Token” also instantly felt that there was no place for him here. In the entire “Xueqing Token”, from the supporting actors to the lead actors, from the director to the screenwriter, everyone had won awards, except for him. This was simply a public execution that let everyone know that his acting skills were not good. No matter how good a movie was, it could not bring a noob like him along.
At the thought of this, the supporting actor could not help but tear up. He looked at the big screen with empty eyes and lost his love.
At this moment, Ye Meng also walked onto the stage elegantly. She calmly took the trophy and smiled at the microphone.
“I’m very happy to have this opportunity to obtain the most important trophy in my life on the stage of the Hundred Flowers Awards. I’m very excited now. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the entire country for their support. Thank you to the director, thank you to the screenwriter, thank you to everyone who likes me, and thank you to the country for nurturing me. In the future, I hope that I can do better and use the most perfect posture to dedicate the most perfect film to everyone. Thank you, everyone!”
