David continued to read.
He saw that "New Life" was also written on the Best Screenplay and Best Director awards, and he thought that this movie was indeed amazing.
David didn't have much of an impression of First Light Media.
The nominated movies wouldn't be sent to him, and he would only see the list of winners.
David changed the Best Director award to Dana Pazzi's name before putting down his pen.
He didn't touch the Best Screenplay award.
The most valuable awards at the IFF were the Best Movie, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress awards.
"New Life" was the second movie from Hua to be nominated for the IFF, and it was already very impressive that it could win this time.
Time Media was the second-largest film company in the world, and their overall strength was above First Light Media.
People who weren't professionals wouldn't be able to detect the biggest difference between the two movies.
Also, "Lost Memories", which was filmed by Dana, wasn't without merit, so no one would doubt it.
"Alright, this is the final award." David handed the revised document back to the judges. "Contact the guests for this year's awards."
The judge took the document and was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. David, why did you remove all the awards for 'New Life'?"
Wasn't that too much?
The three most important awards for 'New Life' were now all given to 'Lost Memories'.
"That's all," David said calmly. David said calmly, "I've talked to Miss Daina. I think her movie is also worthy of an award."
The judge opened his mouth. "But didn't you say that 'New Life' was very good?"
"Yes, it's good." David didn't deny it. "But look at who filmed 'Lost Memories'. Dana Pazzi. "
"Which one of us has the guts to offend Family Pazzi? Do you want to die? "
The judges looked at each other, speechless.
"Also, outsiders don't see much difference between the two movies, and the audience can't tell how the movie was filmed." David knocked on the table casually. "Besides, what award isn't shady nowadays? It's settled. "
He smiled nonchalantly. "And if we don't say anything, who'll know?"
Even in a public sports competition, the referees could tamper with it.
Want justice?
If that was the case, he would have to show a certain amount of power.
After confirming the prize, David got up and went out to call Daina.
He was all smiles. "Yes, that's right, Miss Dai Na. The Best Film Award and the Best Director Award are yours."
**
The domestic media paid a lot of attention to this year's IFF Awards. After all, it was the first time a Chinese film had entered the finals after 28 years.
Shang Yaozhi was also the first Hua actor to be nominated for Best Actor at the IFF Awards.
As for him, he was not even 30 years old yet. Even in the entire history of IFF movies, he was still …
Even if they did not win an award, Shang Yaozhi would definitely have a lot of international film resources in the future.
If he could really win the title of Best Actor, no one would be able to match his status.
In addition, Shang Yaozhi was the top streamer in China. Before the opening ceremony even began, the livestream was already packed with people.
Even if they weren't fans of Shang Yaozhi, they all came because Hua's movie was nominated for the IFF award again.
At the scene, the manager could not sit still and was almost scratching his ears and cheeks.
"Why are you so nervous?" Shang Yaozhi looked at him in amusement. "Look at how calm Miss Ying is. You're already in your forties. Be more steady."
Ying Zijin leaned against the soft chair and closed her eyes to rest. She was completely unaffected by the noise outside.
"No," the manager said. "It's because even if you win an award, there won't be a bonus for the company, and there won't be any money in Miss Ying's hands."
Shang Yaozhi: "…"
He had overestimated his status.
The female secretary stood behind the girl and exclaimed, "Boss, your dress today is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
"Huh?" Ying Zijin opened her eyes slightly when she heard this. "My boyfriend gave it to me. It should be custom-made."
The female secretary: "…"
Shang Yaozhi: "…"
They were a table full of single people. Why did they have to hear such words?!
"Quick, it's starting." The manager stood up abruptly. "Yaozhi, walk the red carpet with Director Lu and Producer Xu."
Shang Yaozhi nodded and glanced to the right with a smile. "Teacher Xie is here too."
Because Xie Manyu was acting in a movie produced by Universal Studios, she did not sit with them.
Ying Zijin was the boss of First Light Media. Naturally, she would not walk the red carpet.
First Light Media's position in the international film industry was very remote.
However, this did not prevent people from noticing the girl in the VIP seats.
[F * ck, did you see that? Yingshen is wearing a dress! A long red dress!]
[I'm going to die. Her figure is too perfect. She's so fat. I don't know who will benefit from it in the future. I'm so greedy.]
[Is Big Brother Yun watching? Go and ask Yingshen how she's grown. Eating papayas alone won't help.]
Hua had a professional livestream crew, but the organizers had obviously noticed the stunning beauty in the VIP seats. They immediately gave her a close-up shot.
The girl's eyes were slightly closed. Her eyelashes were long and dense.
Her red lips reflected her cold white skin.
A few strands of hair fell to her collarbone. Her abstinent coldness was wrapped in a pure beauty.
She immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Such a beautiful person did not enter the entertainment industry?
A foreign reporter stared at Ying Zijin for a while and exclaimed, "God, she looks like the top student who participated in the academic competition last year!"
He was very excited. He had already thought of the headlines for tomorrow's newspaper.
On the other side, an actress whispered, "Miss Daina, do you think she's wearing GY's most prized possession in Fei Lengcui?"
Daina was going to receive an award, so she was not sitting in the VIP seats.
From afar, she could only see the crown on the girl's head.
It was very simple. There were not many gemstones, but it was hard to take one's eyes off it.
Daina had been to Fei Lengcui once and had seen this set of jewelry.
However, the store did not sell it, even though she was a platinum member.
Even she couldn't buy it. How could it appear on a Hua person?
Daina said calmly, "It's just a knockoff. How dare she bring it out? GY values copyright so much. She'll receive a lawyer's letter soon."
She was used to seeing too many people like this in the entertainment industry.
If they couldn't buy it, they would buy knockoffs. In the end, they would become a laughing stock as soon as they appeared on the news.
Dinah and Claire glanced at each other, and then looked away.
On the stage, the announcement of the awards had already started.
They started with the smallest awards, and the first was the Best Art Award.
Claire didn't care about these small awards. He tidied his suit and walked to the girl's side.
"It's a pity, Miss Ying. You'll have to return empty-handed this time," he said. "But you might be able to win a few small awards. It won't be a wasted trip."
With that, Claire avoided the camera, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you just stay in Hua? Why do you have to come to the international market to compete with us for resources?"
Universal Studios was far ahead, and they had the Laurent family behind them. They couldn't catch up, and they didn't dare to.
How could a small First Light Media not be able to suppress them?
They had underestimated Family Pazzi's ability.
Claire smiled again and said, "Miss Ying, this is just the beginning."
He had supported an entertainment company in Hua and was waiting to fight with First Light Media.
Ying Zijin finally looked up and said, "You're right. This is just the beginning."
Claire met her gaze and his heart skipped a beat.
That feeling of uneasiness came up again.
However, after thinking for a long time, he still didn't know why Ying Zijin was so confident. He shrugged and returned to his seat.
"Next, we will be announcing the Best Actor Award —" A veteran actor glanced at the card in his hand and said, "Congratulations to the actor who played the male lead in 'Lost Memories,' Matt Bilic!"
There was thunderous applause.
A middle-aged foreigner went on stage to receive the award.
Daina finally smiled. She stood up and prepared to receive the Best Director and Best Movie awards.
Shang Yaozhi sighed and joked, "Looks like it's still not enough."
Although his agent was also very disappointed, he still encouraged him, "Yaozhi, don't be discouraged. You're still young. There will be more opportunities in the future."
[Something's wrong. Something's very wrong. Although I'm a layman, my brother's acting skills are better, right? How can the acting of the male lead in 'Lost Memories' compare to my brother's?]
[Don't laugh. Shang Yaozhi is a Best Actor in China. Does he still have a name internationally? Stop saying such stupid things. You're embarrassing Hua.]
The female secretary's expression changed. "Boss, they really bribed the judges!"
She looked at Claire.
As expected, Claire was also looking at them with a smile on his face. There was undisguised sarcasm and mockery in his eyes.
Ying Zijin's fingers pressed the phone, and her voice was cold. "Wait."
