You don't understand the happiness of the director

The other party was very rich and readily agreed to Ning Hao's request for more money.

As soon as he put down the phone, Ning Hao started to slap himself, "Look at you, you look like you've never seen money, you must be less!"

However, he was still trustworthy. After receiving the song sent by the other party, he began to think about the MV shooting plan.

After being busy until the evening, Ning Hao looked at the date and hurriedly opened Sina. There was a real-time text broadcast of the East Film Festival, which ended today.

Lily Collins took out the dress that was at the bottom of her box. It was also the most expensive and grandest dress in her trip to Tokyo.

Wang Quan waited for her to change and prepared to go to the closing ceremony together, but Lily closed the door, leaving the two of them alone in the changing room.

Wang Quan, "What do you want to do? I really don't have it anymore. If you don't believe me, just ask Aragaki Yui and the others."

Lily approached Wang Quan, "Do you still remember our bet?"

"If you are nominated for an Oscar, let me..."

Lily interrupted him, "I decided to change it. If I can win the Best Award at the Eastern Film Festival this time, I will let you get your wish in advance."

Wang Quan hurriedly waved his hand, "This is not my wish, and I don't want to try it. This is just a bet, but are you sure? Your voice is very loud this time as the best actress. "Juno" is the most likely to win. Pork is you, the movie queen."

This kind of international film festival basically divides the pork. Unlike the Oscars, where the winner takes all occasionally. At the film festival, there is usually one award for each film. Those who can win two are considered rare, and those who can win three are considered rare. Almost rare.

Lily opened the door, "That's it, let's go."

On the red carpet of the closing ceremony in Roppongi Hills, Wang Quan saw the beaming Director Lule and the director and heroine Yang Caini of the "Father and Son" crew, but did not see Director Zheng Baorui.

In addition, he also saw the crew of "Little Miss Sunshine". In addition to the heroine Abigail Breslin, who is still in elementary school, the producer and director couple all came. They looked determined to win.

Nanako Matsushima, Kyoko Fukada and others from the closing film "The Inugami Family" also appeared at the awards ceremony, which increased the number of neon artists. Otherwise, there would really be no people to support the scene. Just like the film festival, in the end, you have to Rely on your own people to appreciate the glory, otherwise the star will be dim.

The awards ceremony has officially begun. At this time, Dorothy, who is far away in the United States, is also paying attention to this award. She has basically assembled the crew of "Insidious" and will officially start filming when Wang Quan returns.

In China, even more people are paying attention to the East Film Festival.

After returning to the set, Liu Yifei was surfing the Internet with Xiao Zhao in the hotel room.

In the Nortel women's dormitory, Yang Mi and the three women were also paying keen attention.

In the men's dormitory, freshmen represented by Zhu Yirong were watching the whole process.

In the courtyard, Wang Qiankun declined the invitation of several older girls to dance and called Ruan, Duan and Xi to his courtyard to watch the latest reports sent back by Sina reporters.

There is also Ning Hao. He has a complicated feeling about Wang Quan. He hopes that this young director who has helped him will not return empty-handed, but he is also afraid that if he wins the Golden Qilin Award, he will be inferior to one of the two most famous people in the world. , or at least don’t win the prize so quickly, can’t I wait?

Not long ago, China Film Group held a seminar on the success of "Crazy Stone" to summarize the successful experience of "Crazy Stone" and called on young domestic directors to learn from him. Now Ning Hao is already an outstanding representative of domestic young directors. Don't be too proud.

This is the absolute pride of Director Wang who chooses to return to China in the future. If he does not return to China, he will be the leader.

Ning Hao thought, if Wang Quan can win an award this time, then he must win the Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards to be worthy of him, right?

Refreshed the page, "It's out!"

The first award appeared, the Asian Style Award, the Best Film Award in Asia-Middle East, and the winner was Tan Jiaming's "Father and Son".

Then there is the Akira Kurosawa Award, which is equivalent to a lifetime achievement award. This award was established in 2004. The first time it was awarded to Steven Spielberg and Yoji Yamada, the second time it was awarded to Hou Hsiao-hsien.

This is the third time, awarded to Milos Forman, director of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and Ichikawa Kun, director of the closing film "Inugami".

Then there is the Audience Choice Award, which is the favorite movie voted by the audience from the works in the main competition. The photo that Ning Hao swiped showed a middle-aged white man coming to the stage to receive the award. Looking at the text, this person is Representative of the film crew of "Juno".

"Juno" won an award!

In the girls' dormitory, everyone else was very excited, but Yang Mi said calmly, "Where are you now? I haven't seen Brother Quan and you haven't accepted the award yourself. There must be more later."

In fact, she is not sure if there is more, but she must keep pretending. Who made her tone up a few days ago? Brother Quan, you must give me credit!

The awards were awarded in order from small to large, and there were no performances in between.

Best Artistic Contribution Award: Lule's work "Thirteen Paulownia Trees".

Next comes the Best Actor award, which was won by the leading actor in a Maple Leaf movie called "The Hockey Heroes."

Best Actress...

On the set, Wang Quan held Lily's nervous little hand. What he was thinking was that this girl probably wanted to win the award. So, did she want to win the award for honor or to fulfill the bet?

"The winner of the Best Actress at the 19th Tokyo International Film Festival is Abigail Breslin for "Little Miss Sunshine". Congratulations!"

The directors of "Little Miss Sunshine" are a couple, and they joined hands on stage to accept the award on behalf of Abigail, who was unable to attend because he was in elementary school.

Lily was a little frustrated. If she lost, she would lose, but losing to a primary school student made her, a high school student, very embarrassed. She asked for ten days of leave in vain.

Wang Quan saw her disappointment and hugged her directly, kissing her on the forehead.

But Lily soon felt relieved because the Best Director award was announced.

The presenter called out his name, "Juno", congratulations!

After two minutes, the domestic Internet finally refreshed the latest battle situation, and a photo of Wang Quan taking the stage to receive the award appeared!

"Ah, it's Quan'er, the best director!"

In the courtyard, Manager Ruan was so excited that he almost cried. He has been with Lao Wang the longest. He can be said to be an uncle who watched Wang Quan grow up. I could see that boy's persistence and love for movies back then. Woolen cloth.

Now, Xiao Wang has finally won the first important film award in his life, and he is still so young, 21 years old, best director!

Lao Wang put on his presbyopia and read the text version of Wang Quan's acceptance speech word for word. He laughed as he read it, and then asked Duan'er to fill it up for everyone, "Come on, come on, I've been drinking this for twenty years." Aged five-star Moutai!”

In Yang Mi's dormitory, they could only drink the Sprite produced last month.

Yang Mi was very happy. With this best director, all the boasts she had boasted at the beginning were saved. She felt comfortable!

When they saw the result, Wang Quan had already received the award and returned to his seat, and handed the silver unicorn trophy to Lily for her to play with.

Wang Quan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he also hoped that Lily would win the award, relatively speaking, winning the award himself would be more beneficial to the marketing of "Juno". There are many minors who won the best actor and best actress. How dare you win the four-year-old Venice Best Actress? letter.

However, there are almost no best directors at authoritative film festivals who are 21 years old, and Wang Quan’s winning of the award will be helpful to the output of Long Toutou Company’s subsequent works. The only regret is that the East Film Festival is not the top three in Europe, and its weight is still A bit younger, but his age can make up for the lack of weight in the East Film Festival.

After calming down for a while, I continued watching. The jury award was awarded to the French film "OSS117: The Spy in Cairo".

In fact, Wang Quan still fantasized about "Juno" winning another award. This is also common for some popular works that are loved by the judges.

For example, "Alive", Zhang Yimou's most outstanding masterpiece, not only won Ge You a Best Actor honor at Cannes that year, but also won the Jury Prize.

There is also "In the Mood for Love", which is recognized by the West as a Chinese-language masterpiece. It was also in Cannes. In addition to Tony Leung's Best Actor Award, it also won the Technical Award for Photography and Styling.

It is difficult to win a gold medal and a silver medal at an international film festival, but two silver medals happen from time to time. Of course, there is no hope now. It depends on which company wins the golden unicorn.

Wang Quan noticed that the main creators of the films that Neon had shortlisted were all here. Could it be that he was going to award the award to one of his own this time?

In the end, the jury presidium, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Marco Muller and others all came on stage to jointly reveal the biggest suspense.

"The Best Film of the 19th Tokyo International Film Festival, after discussion by all the jury members, finally decided to award it to the American film..."Juno"! Congratulations!"

Wang Quan was obviously taken aback. What he said was in French, but at the end the word "Juno" was in English, and a simultaneous translator soon repeated it in English.

That's right, it's "Juno"!

Wang Quan excitedly hugged Lily, hugged Ma Ling, and hugged Suter Green. If Yui Aragaki and Nozomi Sasaki weren't far away in the audience, he would have wanted to hug them both. If he could win this award, they would There is hard work without credit.

So Wang Quan blew a kiss back, unable to conceal his excitement.

The two girls knew that the blowing kiss was for them, and they hugged each other excitedly. They were so excited that they almost cried. This must be the third award Wang won today. It's amazing!

Extra food, must have extra food tonight!

If just having the Best Director is not enough, then adding the Best Picture will be enough!

Wang Quan took Lily, Ma Ling, and Suter to the podium and received the trophy from the chairman of the jury.

"First of all, let me introduce you. This is our heroine Lily Collins. She played the role of Juno with all her heart and soul.

"Britt Marling, who also wrote the film and serves as executive producer, also contributed a lot to the film.

"Suter Greene, the publicity director for Juno, has been working on her since the film was completed."

After introducing his friends, Wang Quan began to give a formal speech. In order to make it easier for more people to understand, he spoke in English throughout. He thanked his partner Dorothy, his father and his two alma maters for their cultivation, and the filming. Some thoughts on the film until the end when he changed it to Chinese.

"Movies are a means for human beings to create dreams, and I have now mastered this craft. I am so lucky to have so many people applaud my dreams. Thank you to the jury and the East Film Festival!"

The Chinese translator translated the last paragraph into English and Japanese, and the applause that had been building up in the audience finally started and lasted for a long time.

Wang Quan also saw the two girls Nozomi Sasaki standing up and applauding him. They worked very hard, and they were rewarded with a chicken drumstick in the evening.

In the courtyard, Manager Xi boldly said, "Boss, do you want to open that bottle of fifty-year-old Moutai? This is so worthy of celebration!"

Although Lao Wang was also excited and ecstatic, he had not lost his mind yet. Do you know how valuable that bottle of Moutai was? Ten years ago it could have sold for one million in Xiangjiang!

"I'm a little drunk. Let's just stop here tonight and let's go." Lao Wang smiled and kept the Maotai, which was the same age as him, and planned to open it when he got married in the future. He didn't know if one bottle would be enough.

A hotel in Shanghai.

Liu Yifei hugged Zhao Liying and patted her back excitedly, and then Liying felt that her collar was wet.

"Sister Yi Fei, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?"

Liu Yifei choked and wiped her tears, "Why don't you cry, you fake fan."

Zhao Liying had a dark look on her face, "Why are you crying about such a happy thing? It's too late for me to be happy."

"But do you know how difficult it has been for him these years!"

Zhao Liying recalled Wang Quan’s life, “Her parents are businessmen with a registered permanent residence in Beijing. At the age of 18, she was admitted to Nortel’s directing department with double first place. At the age of 20, she entered the film mecca of the University of Southern California to study abroad. At the age of 21, she produced three directorial works. The first part made 20 million U.S. dollars, the second one exceeded 100 million at the North American box office, and the third part swept the Eastern Film Festival and won three awards. So I can't help but ask, how difficult is it for Director Wang?"

Faced with Zhao Liying's cold-blooded and inhumane rhetorical question, Liu Yifei said, I will never be the best in the world with you again, huh.

At this time there was a knock on the door, Zhao Liying opened the door and let in the equally excited Aunt Liu.

Then Liu Xiaoli hugged Liu Yifei and got excited together, "Three awards, three awards, our little Wang is so great!"

Liu Yifei, "Yeah, it's great!"

Zhao Liying, "-_-||"

As expected of a couple, are you so excited to win an award? I will definitely not cry when I win an award in the future. Well, I should be able to win an award in the future.

Not to mention international awards such as Best Actress at the East Film Festival, the Magnolia Queen in this metropolis can always win one~

~

In Ning Hao's studio, looking at the photo of Wang Quan holding three trophies in his hands, Director Ning immediately collapsed. He asked you to accept the award, but who asked you to purchase the goods! Why are you walking so fast? Why can't you wait for me?

Then he immediately lit three cigarettes for the God of Wealth on the table, "God of Wealth bless me, I must win the Golden Horse Awards this time, and I will win all the best film directors and scripts, otherwise how can I brag about the unparalleled double pride in the future?" !”

~

Compared with Ning Hao's dejection, Yang Mi was about to reach the sky at this moment, like a monkey flying in the sky.

She sat on the chair, folded her arms and leaned back, "Look, what does an international director mean?"

(Please give me a monthly ticket!)
