At 20 o 'clock sharp, the Hua Xia Jinzun International Film Festival officially began.
The host was CCTV's pillar, Xu Jun, and his golden partner, Meng Xiaohong.
After the two of them finished their announcements, Meng Xiaohong said, "Teacher Xu, let me ask you a question. How many movies did you watch last year?"
Xu Jun smiled and said, "There are too many. There are 'Infernal Affairs', 'Inception', 'Jing Ke Assassinates Qin', 'Xiao Cui', 'The Tempest', 'Dawn', and so on. There are at least 20 movies."
Meng Xiaohong said, "These seem to be Hua Xia's domestic movies, right? Haven't you seen any outstanding movies from other regions? "
Xu Jun said, "How can that be? 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone', '24 hours', 'Fatal Temptation', 'Tarzan of the Apes', 'The Old and the Young', 'The Great River', and other movies from various countries. I've watched them all in the cinema. They were very exciting. "
Meng Xiaohong smiled and said, "Then which one do you like the most? Don't speak in a bureaucratic tone. Just say its name. "
Xu Jun shook his head and said, "As an outstanding host, how can I let others lead me away? I like all the movies. "
"Hahaha."
There was a round of applause from the audience.
Meng Xiaohong said, "It's so boring."
Xu Jun asked, "Then tell me which one you like the most?"
Meng Xiaohong said without hesitation, "My favorite is' Leaves Returning to Their Roots'."
'Leaves Returning to Their Roots' was a literary film directed by Hanhai Film Company's director, Wang Youcai. The lead actor was Han Shuwen. Although the investment was not big, the box office was 2 billion yuan. Its reputation was also very good.
If the Hua Xia Jinzun Film Festival did not change the rules, there would definitely be a place for 'Leaves Returning to Their Roots' in the major awards.
Unfortunately, Jinzun was an international film festival now. Perhaps it was because of cultural differences, but the foreign judges were generally not interested in 'Leaves Returning to Their Roots'. In addition, there were so many strong people this time, so 'Leaves Returning to Their Roots' was not even nominated for a single award. It was very regrettable.
Xu Jun smiled and said, "You are very smart. Saying that a movie that is not nominated will not offend everyone. However, 'Leaves Returning to Their Roots' is indeed very good. I've seen it in the cinema before. I was so moved that I cried. Alright, let's cut the crap. I believe everyone can't wait any longer. "
Meng Xiaohong smiled and said, "Then let's get to the point. The first award is the Best Screenplay Award. Let's welcome the Oscar winner, David Hartnett, and Hua Xia's Best Actress, Yu Yuexian. "
Yu Yuexian was wearing a long white dress today. She looked like a fairy, but the edge of the dress was very long. It was a little inconvenient to walk.
David Hartnett behaved very gentlemanly. He was afraid that he would step on her skirt, so he walked very carefully.
Arriving at the front of the stage, Yu Yuexian first looked gratefully at David Hartnett before saying, "Mr. Hartnett, how many times have you come to Hua Xia?"
David Hartnett didn't understand Hua Xia language. He shrugged and said helplessly, "Sorry, I don't understand."
The audience couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at my brain." Yu Yuexian laughed at herself and then repeated the question in English.
David Hartnett said, "It's my first time here."
Since he didn't speak Hua Xia language, Yu Yuexian could only act as a temporary translator.
"What's your impression of Hua Xia?"
David Hartnett said, "It's very good. Especially Hua Xia's food. It's simply the best thing I've ever eaten. I've decided to rest here for a while. "
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "That's great. What do you think of Hua Xia movies? "
David Hartnett said, "To be honest, I rarely watched them before. It wasn't until Mr. Xiao's' Valiant Heroes' and 'Infernal Affairs' appeared that I started paying attention to Hua Xia movies. I also watched many very good movies. It's just that Hua Xia culture is too broad and profound. The same sentence in different contexts will have different meanings, so it's very difficult for me to understand. But many artists' acting skills are very good. They're not any worse than Oscar winners and actresses. Miss Yu, I've seen your movie before. Your acting is very good. You can even be called a fairy in the movie. "
Yu Yuexian smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise."
Because of the language barrier, Yu Yuexian didn't have much interaction with David Hartnett. After seeing the seven screenwriting nominees on the big screen, Yu Yuexian opened the envelope.
"The winner of the first Hua Xia Jingou International Film Festival for Best Screenwriter is … Mr. Hartnett. Why don't you read his name? I think you should be very familiar with him. "
David Hartnett didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Congratulations to my old friend Jack for winning Best Screenwriter with 'The Old and the Young.'"
After Yu Yuexian said that the winner was David's old friend, Xiao Yunhai knew that he had no fate with this award.
Sure enough, David Hartnett called out Jack's name.
Xiao Yunhai clapped his hands to congratulate Jack while saying to Ye Yongren, who was beside him, "I've lost face this time. During the interview, I said that the most likely winner was the Best Screenwriter Award. In the end, it gave me a resounding slap. It's really depressing. "
Ye Yongren smiled and said, "In the past two years, whether it's the Jingou TV Festival or the Jingou Film Festival, when has the Best Screenwriter Award ever escaped your grasp? To be honest, I feel that it's time to change the person. "
He knew that Xiao Yunhai didn't care too much about this award, so he made a joke.
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher Ye, how can the Jingou of the past be the same as the current Jingou? This is the Best Screenwriter Award selected by more than 200 of the world's best filmmakers. It's worth more than an Oscar. If I say that I'm not disappointed, that would be a lie. I originally wanted you to comfort me, but in the end, you hurt me even more. Sigh, is there anyone more pitiful than me? "
Ye Yongren chuckled and said, "Then do you want to cry?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's not to that extent. If we're all wiped out, it won't be too late for me to cry then. "
Ye Yongren laughed and scolded, "Can you not jinx it?"
As they were joking, a staff member quietly walked over and said to Xiao Yunhai, "Mr. Xiao, the Best Soundtrack Award will be presented soon. Please go backstage to prepare."
Although Xiao Yunhai didn't agree to sing on stage, he agreed to be the guest presenter for the Best Soundtrack Award.
According to the order of the awards, it would be his turn after the Best Newcomer Award, so he had to go backstage to communicate with another guest.
This time, the person who was presenting the award together with Xiao Yunhai was the Korean Best Actress Hua Jingyan.
When she saw Xiao Yunhai, Hua Jingyan was very happy. A beautiful smile bloomed on her charming face, and she said in fluent Chinese, "Mr. Xiao, how are you? I'm very happy to meet you. I'm a loyal fan of yours, and I've heard and watched almost all of your music and movies. They're all excellent. "
Hua Jingyan was 28 years old this year, but she took good care of herself. Her appearance was no different from a girl in her early twenties, and her temperament was outstanding.
Not only was she a Best Actress, but she was also a singer. But compared to film, music paled in comparison.
Xiao Yunhai very politely shook her white and delicate jade hand, and said: "I didn't expect Miss Hua to speak Chinese so well, which actually made me breathe a sigh of relief. Thank you for liking my works. "
Hua Jingyan smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, can I ask you for a favor?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Go ahead."
Hua Jingyan said, "I'm planning to release an album in Korea, but I don't have any suitable songs. I hope to buy the rights to adapt a few of your songs and change the Chinese lyrics to Korean lyrics. I believe that the Korean fans will like it. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can agree to it? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "No problem. If you want any songs, you can contact my manager, Ms. Mo Yina. She's fully in charge of these matters, and I just need to sign it. "
Hua Jingyan said gratefully, "Thank you so much."
After chatting for a while, the two started to discuss the speech for the award.
