Chapter 60 Release Date
Lu Chuan will have to wait a while before she can become a pillar of the state; the awards still need to be presented.
Next up for the Most Popular Director Award among College Students is Feng Xiaogang. Actually, Zhang Jun also had a chance at this award, as he is very popular among college students.
But since Feng Dapao has come, we can't let him leave empty-handed, can we?
We had to save face, and the judges understood that, so they pulled some strings behind the scenes!
The most popular actress among college students was Li Shuangbing, who even made a special detour to hug Zhang Jun.
Congratulations on winning the hearts of so many students!
Li Shuangbing smiled and said, "Director Zhang, don't forget me next time you have a good show. I can also give a great performance."
"Sure, sure!" Zhang Jun said he would consider it.
Ye Xiaoyi teased again, "Wow, you're really popular with actresses now."
"Junior, you're not jealous, are you?"
Zhang Jun exaggeratedly said, "I told you long ago that I'm a scumbag, and it's inevitable that I can't control myself."
Otherwise, why would I bother making movies? I could just seduce you and inherit Uncle Ye's real estate empire.
You'll never have to struggle again.
"cut!"
Ye Xiaoyi scoffed, "Who cares if you try to seduce me? I have plenty of people who like me."
The awards ceremony continued, and the winner of the Most Popular Actor award among university students was the famous comedian Feng Gong. He performed a stand-up comedy routine on stage, generating considerable laughter for the evening's awards ceremony.
Of particular note is the Best Actor award, which was nominated for Jackie Chan, though he was not present at the event.
The award was given to Xia Yu.
When he accepted the award, he said, "It's probably mainly because my film is more relatable to college students! So, I'm sorry, Jackie Chan, I will continue to work hard."
The Best Actress award went to Zhang Jingchu, but she was surprised that the film she won for was a comedy.
"I never expected my first acting award to be a comedy. I really didn't know I could actually do comedy."
I wouldn't be surprised if they won an award for "Peacock," but I'm sure the university students have their own reasons.
Finally, the two most prestigious awards, Best Director and Best Feature Film, were both won by Lu Chuan and his film "Kekexili".
Before going on stage, Lu Chuan glanced at Zhang Jun discreetly.
It was as if it were saying, "See? I'm the biggest winner tonight..."
Looking at it this way, it seems that Lu Chuan is the young man, while Zhang Jun appears much more mature.
However, Lu Chuan knew the occasion and that she shouldn't say anything inappropriate, so she gave a proper acceptance speech.
"I think college students are all pretty tough, so I might have won the award because my film is also a tough one, which is more suitable for them to watch."
But later, Lu Chuan couldn't help but bring up her age.
"Youth does not necessarily equate to talent or creativity. Many of my predecessors still maintain their passion for creation."
I used to think I was the most hardworking one, but later I realized they were even more hardworking than me. I will continue to work hard, and my next film won't disappoint everyone.
The naive college students didn't understand Lu Chuan's subtext, but many people in the film and television industry are shrewd, and many are aware of his conflict with Zhang Jun.
Feng Dapao whispered to Li Shuangbing from below the stage: "These words are a mockery of Zhang Jun, because recently many people have said that Zhang Jun is a talented young man."
While Lu Chuan outwardly referred to himself as such, he actually considered himself a more hardworking senior than Zhang Jun, implying that Zhang Jun was merely lucky.
Li Shuangbing asked curiously, "Why does Director Lu Chuan have a problem with Director Zhang Jun?"
Feng Dapao said he didn't know: "Who knows? They've dragged me into this. I guess he picked up this bad habit from his father!"
Li Shuangbing suddenly felt that she needed to reconsider befriending Zhang Jun. After all, Zhang Jun was too young, and she was afraid that the success of "Little Miss Sunshine" was just luck.
If she tries to curry favor with Zhang Jun and angers Director Lu Chuan, she will lose both sides if Zhang Jun doesn't achieve anything in the future.
Zhang Jun naturally understood Lu Chuan's subtext, and he smiled and said to Ye Xiaoyi, "He really is a stingy person. It seems we've really hit a snag."
"Why aren't you worried at all?" Ye Xiaoyi asked.
"Why should I worry? Shouldn't he be the one worried?"
Zhang Jun was very confident: "This kind of person has a bad habit, which is that they are all talk and no action, and they always think that they are the best one."
In reality, once the overall environment changes, they immediately become unaccustomed to the new environment.
In the 1990s, he might have been outstanding, but times have changed; now it's the era of commercial films.
Sir, times have changed. Who still plays the old tricks with you?
The Beijing College Student Film Festival has come to a successful conclusion, and Zhang Jun has gained some insights and strengthened his connection with college students, which forms the foundation of his films.
Films like "About Time" are very much to the liking of college students and I believe they will be well received by them.
Soon after, the big scissors logo came down, and the film passed censorship uncut. Han Sanping at China Film Group received inside information from the big scissors that "About Time" was of unexpected quality.
This made Han Sanping take it very seriously. He personally called Zhang Jun to congratulate him on his achievements at the College Student Film Festival and then asked him about his schedule.
Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said, "Let's schedule it for release on Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), August 11th."
"Is it Qixi Festival?"
Han Sanping pondered for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, I will do my best to coordinate the film's schedule so that your film has a few weeks' gap before it is released."
This is what's known as the "domestic product protection month."
Actually, this concept didn't exist at first. The "domestic product protection month" originated from last year's "House of Flying Daggers".
In order to create a gap for this film, China Film Group, which is responsible for the distribution of imported films, moved the release dates of Hollywood blockbusters forward or backward.
However, although "House of Flying Daggers" had a good initial momentum, its ridiculous plot still drew a lot of criticism, ultimately resulting in lower-than-expected box office returns.
However, the term "domestic film protection month" has been circulating ever since. Although the government has never officially acknowledged it, domestic films have indeed begun to enjoy this benefit.
Following "House of Flying Daggers," Han Sanping also hinted for the first time to Zhang Jun that there is indeed a "domestic film protection month."
Furthermore, to prevent both sides from suffering losses, Han Sanping moved up the release date of Tsui Hark's "Seven Swords" to July 15.
With two films released almost a month apart, there is no competition between them.
After encouraging Zhang Jun and telling him to make a good contribution to Chinese-language films, Han Sanping hung up the phone.
He said to Deputy General Manager Han Xiaoli, "I'm increasingly optimistic about this kid; he's a rare talent!"
"What do you think about sending him to Hollywood to learn?"
"Was this a task assigned by the General Administration?" Han Xiaoli asked.
"Yes,"
Han Sanping nodded and said, "The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said that we should organize a group of young directors to visit and learn from Hollywood. I think he is very suitable, and Lu Chuan is also fine."
Han Xiaoli said she would have to think about it: "I heard that Zhang Jun and Lu Chuan have a lot of conflicts. If the two of them go together, I'm afraid I'll lose face."
That's true. If the two of them start arguing in front of foreigners, they'll lose face internationally.
Han Sanping wasn't worried: "Don't worry, these two won't be ignorant."
However, sending young directors to visit and learn is still just a plan, and no agreement has been reached with Hollywood yet, so it will probably take a long time to come.
