Chapter 356 Best Actor!

"The winner of the Best Original Screenplay Award is——"

On the Golden Horse stage, two local screenwriters from Taiwan opened the envelope with a smile on their faces. The male award presenter took a look and handed it to the female award presenter. The two shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Wu Yuan's "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die"!"

An expected result.

Wu Yuan's handsome face was projected on the big screen at the scene.

He stood up with a smile and accepted the applause of other guests. After a reserved hug with Li Xuejian, Song Dandan and other main creators of the crew, he walked to the stage.

He and the Best Screenwriter award are really predestined.

The first award he won in his life was the Best Screenwriter. Later, every movie he made would more or less win the Best Screenwriter Award at large and small award ceremonies.

Although he did not attend most of them in person, this award is indeed the most won in the trophy cabinet at home.

"Thank you, thank you Golden Horse Awards."

Taking the trophy from the presenter, Wu Yuan stood in front of the microphone with a proud look on his face and said, "With the expansion of the Golden Horse Awards, this Chinese film awards ceremony, which has existed for more than half a century, has become one of the most important film awards for Chinese people around the world."

"I am honored to be recognized by the Golden Horse Awards and to receive this award."

Wu Yuan's speech was very concise. After all, the big things are still to come. If he finished speaking now, he would not know what to say when he receives the award later.

Finally, he raised the trophy and waved it, then turned around and walked back to his seat.

"Director Wu Yuan won the Best Original Screenwriter Award at this year's Golden Horse Awards for "Li Wen". So far, "Li Wen" has won two nominations and one!"

The news of Wu Yuan's winning was immediately released on the Golden Horse section of the mainland portal website, with a photo of him receiving the award on stage.

Cheers rang out across the country, and Liu Yifei, who was far away in Sweden, also smiled happily.

Although the Golden Horse Awards do not seem to be that important to Wu Yuan, for most mainland movie fans, the Golden Horse Awards are still one of the highest halls of Chinese-language films, and winning the Golden Horse Awards is still the greatest recognition.

There was another song and dance performance at the Golden Horse Awards, with Li Wen singing and dancing on stage, and Lin Chiling performing acrobatics as a warrior.

In the middle, Li An and Lin Qingxia also came on stage to present an annual Outstanding Film Worker Award for Taiwan Island.

Speaking of this award, it is also interesting. Originally, Jin Chengwu was nominated, but 6 hours after the list was announced, the organizing committee discovered that they had made a mistake.

Jin Chengwu is already a Japanese citizen, so how could he be nominated for Outstanding Film Worker for Taiwan Island.

So, after only being nominated for 6 hours, he was urgently disqualified from the award, becoming the shortest-lived nominee in the history of the Golden Horse Awards.

In the end, the award was awarded to Wei Desheng, the director of Cape No. 7.

Wu Yuan sat in the audience and watched the fun, and he was quite happy.

This year's Golden Horse Awards can be said to be star-studded.

Chi Ling, Patten, Lun Mei, Ruo Xuan, Shu Qi from Taiwan, Zhou Xun, Zhao Junqi from the mainland, and Karen Mok from Hong Kong competed for beauty.

On the male actor side, Zhang Zhen, Wu Zun, Fang Taizi, Wu Jianhao, Zhang Zhilin, and Fan Yichen also took turns to compete for handsomeness.

Most of the actors are those that Wu Yuan has never worked with, but today he has seen enough at once.

However, after looking around, few actors really caught Wu Yuan's eye.

Only Zhang Zhen, Wu Yuan thinks this actor is quite good, one of the few new-age martial arts actors in the mainland, and the company will definitely use him in the future.

Wu Yuan does not plan to shoot "Embroidered Spring Blade", but Wu Yuan wants to support Lu Yang, the director.

It is said that martial arts are dead, but the spirit of chivalry will not die. Chinese movies will always have chivalry, but this chivalry is integrated into the story.

And Lu Yang should be the best chivalrous director among the post-80s Chinese directors.

Scarcity makes things valuable.

"The next award is the Best Actor Award!"

Soon, after a bunch of performances, another important award was about to be presented.

Feng Xiaogang, dressed in a suit and tie, walked up to the podium from behind the scenes with Shu Qi, who was wearing a red dress.

They were the presenters of this award.

"Ha, dear friends in front of the TV and on the scene, and fellow guests, good evening."

Feng Xiaogang said to the microphone in a very familiar manner: "I am Feng Xiaogang, a director from the mainland."

"I am Shu Qi, an actress," Shu Qi also smiled and replied.

Feng Xiaogang chuckled, lifted up his hand that was interlocked with Shu Qi's, and shook it proudly:

"Thanks to the Golden Horse Awards, I can hold Shu Qi's hand, and interlocked with her fingers."

"We worked together on If You Are the One for several months, and I begged her to let me hold her hand, but she refused."

"This time I held her hand backstage, thank you Shu Qi."

Feng Xiaogang's "pious" face made the audience laugh so hard that they fell backwards. Shu Qi also embarrassedly covered her mouth with the other hand that was not held by Director Feng and laughed.

In order to "cooperate" with Feng Xiaogang, Shu Qi also made a humorous remark that was not related to the topic: "In fact, you have a lot of fans in Taiwan!"

Feng Xiaogang said: "Don't lie to me about this, I'm not an actor!"

Shu Qi quickly retorted: "You played in Stephen Chow's Kung Fu!"

Feng Xiaogang suddenly realized: "No wonder people asked me for autographs twice when I stayed in the hotel and went out!" The audience laughed again.

Feng Xiaogang changed the subject: "But later I found out that it was my investor Mr. Peter Lam who hired fans of Wei Desheng (director of Cape No. 7) to get my autograph because he was afraid that I would be ignored."

A joke actually revealed the inside story of the entertainment industry - many singers and actors now hire people to ask for autographs.

Seeing that "too much has been said", Feng Xiaogang quickly returned to the topic: "Let's give the awards, let's take a look at the nomination list first..."

On the big screen, the guests nominated for Best Actor began to appear, as well as their nominated short film VCRs.

Zhang Hanyu, who played Gu Zidi in Assembly.

Li Lianjie, who played Pang Qingyun in The Warlords.

Liao Fan, who played the male lead in Half Sea and Half Flame.

And Li Xuejian, who played Li Wen in A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die.

All four actors contributed wonderful performances in the movie.

Zhang Hanyu's Gu Zidi moved thousands of mainland movie fans and was even praised as the most tear-jerking role of the year in mainland China.

Liao Fan later won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor Award, and Li Xuejian is even more of a veteran actor. In 1990, he won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards for his role in "Jiao Yulu".

Only Li Lianjie from "The Warlords" performed the worst among the nominated actors and had the lowest chance of winning the award.

On the big screen, the camera kept switching between the faces of the four nominated actors. Liao Fan and Zhang Hanyu were very nervous, but Li Lianjie and Li Xuejian were very calm.

After a short pause, Feng Xiaogang opened the envelope with the winners written on it, picked it up, and looked at the thin card with Shu Qi.

Originally, at this time, Feng Xiaogang should have congratulated Gu Zidi, the top general he had single-handedly lifted, with a smile on his face.

However, the gears of fate had been messed up by Wu Yuan.

"Congratulations to Li Xuejian - "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die"

"Well-deserved!"

Feng Xiaogang gave a proper applause and sighed in his heart.

The influence of a movie that wins the Golden Lion Award is still greater than that of a mainland commercial film. Even if the Golden Horse Awards want to give a share of the cake to the mainland, Li Xuejian's priority is much higher than Zhang Hanyu.

"Haha, Mr. Xuejian, I said I would give you a Best Actor Award!"

Wu Yuan, who reacted the fastest, jumped up and hugged Li Xuejian.

After missing the Best Actor Award in Venice, it is a good thing to win the Best Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards!

Li Xuejian, who was a little slow to react, also showed a baby-like smile on his face, hugged Wu Yuan with his backhand, and patted him on the back: "Thank you, thank you!" (End of this chapter)
