After the host's opening remarks, we went straight into tonight's award ceremony.
This year's Hundred Flowers Awards had a slight adjustment in the award presentation order, with the Best Supporting Actress award being presented first, followed by some awards like Best Art Direction and Best Music. Watching the people who went up on stage to receive their awards with such delighted looks, the people sitting in the audience became more and more nervous. Because next, the highlight award is coming.
First, there is the Best Original Screenplay Award, with five films nominated.
"Next, I announce that the winner of the Best Original Screenplay Award is... "Youth Memoirs"..."
Applause broke out, and the screenwriter of "Youth Memoirs" walked up to the stage to receive the award, and then gave a speech to express his gratitude for the award. Wu Guodong is not interested in this award. What he cares about is the next award, which is the Best Director Award.
The host on the stage smiled and said, "Okay, next, we're going to present the Best Director Award. The directors nominated for this award are the director of Memoirs of Youth... and Wu Guodong, the director of Jianghu."
After the award presenter arrived, everyone held their breath. Ouyang Qianran glanced at Wu Guodong's hand that was tightly grasping his trousers. The straight trousers had been wrinkled by him.
This year's Hundred Flowers Awards are really interesting. Previously, the award after Best Original Screenplay should have been Best Supporting Actor, so if it is the same as before, the person who should be nervous now should be Ouyang Qianran. But now the Best Supporting Actor award has been moved behind the Best Director award, so the person who is nervous first becomes Wu Guodong.
"Now, I declare that the winner of the Best Director award is..."
Wu Guodong stretched his neck, Ouyang Qianran also stared at the stage, and Liang Jianwen on the other side also had an expectant look on his face.
"The winner of the Best Director award is... Director Wu Guodong of "Jiang Hu"..."
“Pah pah pah…”
Applause broke out. Wu Guodong's eyes widened, as if he had not yet recovered from the nervousness. He said blankly, "I... I won the prize..."
"Yes, you won the award." Ouyang Qianran also gave his congratulatory applause. He knew that Wu Guodong had been waiting for this award for several years.
On the big screen, Wu Guodong's expression, as if he had been hit by a pie in the sky, was shown. The host on the stage joked, "Haha, it seems that our Director Wu is very surprised!"
The people in the audience also showed kind smiles, and Wu Guodong finally woke up as if from a dream, "I won the award..." His eyes were moist and the corners of his mouth trembled, then he walked onto the stage amid a round of congratulatory applause.
When Wu Guodong received the trophy from the presenter, he was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time. He looked at the microphone and everyone sitting in the audience, and said in a trembling voice: "I have waited for this award for five years, and finally got it. I am grateful to the Hundred Flowers Awards for giving it to me. As you all saw just now, even I couldn't believe it. The people I want to thank most here are those who have always supported me. Thank you!"
Wu Guodong doesn't talk much, but his emotions are very sincere. Although the Hundred Flowers Award is not as good as the Huaying Award, winning the Best Director Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards means that Wu Guodong has stepped into the ranks of first-line directors. How could he not be excited?
When he came down from the stage, Wu Guodong's hands were still shaking. He looked at the trophy in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.
Wu Guodong finally got what he wanted. Next was the Best Supporting Actor Award. Ouyang Qianran was nominated, and the first supporting actor of "Youth Memoirs" was also nominated. "Youth Memoirs" can be said to be the highest-grossing Chinese film of this year, so it received many nominations.
In fact, everyone is optimistic that the actor who played the supporting actor in "Youth Memoirs" can win this award. As for Ouyang Qianran, he can be said to be the least likely one among the six nominated actors. Not to mention that Ouyang Qianran is a new actor who has only recently emerged, from all aspects, the supporting actor of "Youth Memoirs" also has more advantages.
"The next award is the Best Supporting Actor Award. The nominated supporting actors are... and Ouyang Qianran from Jianghu. Now, please welcome our award presenter..."
Ouyang family.
Ouyang Qianxiong and Zhao Yun had been waiting in front of the TV early. If it had been in the past, they would not have cared too much even if Ouyang Yi was among the candidates for the best actor. After all, Ouyang Yi has won the Best Actor Award at the Huaying Awards once, not to mention the Hundred Flowers Awards, which is one level lower than the Huaying Awards.
What they care about is Ouyang Qianran. After all, this is the first time that Ouyang Qianran has been nominated. Ouyang Qianxiong and Zhao Yun now feel as if they saw Ouyang Yi win the award for the first time.
"Qianxiong, do you think Qianran can win the award this time?" Zhao Yun held the teacup and rubbed the edges of the cup with her fingers unconsciously.
"It should be possible." Ouyang Qianxiong actually didn't have much confidence.
"Actually, I don't think it matters whether he wins an award or not. What's important is that Qianran showed up at the Hundred Flowers Awards, which proves that his acting skills have been recognized, and that's enough." Zhao Yun seemed to have figured it out, and she was no longer so nervous.
Ouyang Qianxiong slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, winning an award is not important. What's important is getting the recognition of the Hundred Flowers Awards. Best Supporting Actor is nothing. Our Qianran should win the Best Actor Award and become the best actor."
…
At this time, Xiaomei and Lin Jiajia on the other side also gathered together. They both stared at the live broadcast on the computer nervously, afraid that they would miss something in the next second.
"Sister Xiaomei, can the Second Young Master get the Best Supporting Actor award?" Lin Jiajia grabbed Xiaomei's arm and asked nervously.
"It's okay. Believe me, Second Young Master. It will definitely work." Xiaomei didn't know whether she was comforting Lin Jiajia or herself. Although she said that she believed in Ouyang Qianran, she was actually unsure herself. After all, Ouyang Qianran has the least advantage among the shortlisted actors.
…
The director of the crew of "Youth Memoirs", who had just lost the best director award, whispered to the actor who played the supporting actor sitting next to him, "Are you confident?"
"Yes." The actor said confidently, which earned him an eye roll from Ouyang Yi.
Although Ouyang Yi is not optimistic about his uncle Ouyang Qianran winning the award, it does not mean that he has nothing to do with this actor from the same crew. After all, the other nominees for Best Supporting Actor are also quite talented. After filming for several months in the crew, Ouyang Yi had a mediocre impression of the actor in this supporting role. His acting skills were pretty good, but he was a little arrogant. The most fundamental reason was that Ouyang Yi felt that the actor was more arrogant than himself, so he ignored him.
The moment of announcing the winners finally came. The guest took the envelope with the winners list and took out the card with the winners list. "I announce that the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is..."
Who is it?
Ouyang Qianxiong held Zhao Yun's hand tightly, and Zhao Yun stared at the TV intently.
Xiaomei and Lin Jiajia clenched their fists and bit their red lips.
Ouyang Yi also clenched his hands together, feeling even more nervous this time than when he was waiting for the announcement of the award he was going to receive.
Ouyang Qianran had a relaxed expression on his face, but he was actually a little tense inside.
Someone far away abroad had just finished shooting an indoor advertisement, so Fan He walked up to him with his phone in hand, "Boss, the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor is about to be announced."
Someone took the phone and started looking at it as if no one was around, completely ignoring the person next to him.
Who could it be? Is it the person everyone guessed, or will there be an unexpected person?
"The actor who played the supporting actor in the movie Jianghu, Ouyang Qianran..."
There was silence at first, and then there was a burst of surprise and applause.
The moment he heard his name, Ouyang Qianran couldn't help but reveal surprise on his face. It could be him? Although he had expectations, they were only a little bit, and he himself did not think that he would win the award. However, to almost everyone's expectations, the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award was actually Ouyang Qianran.
Even Ouyang Qianran himself couldn't believe it, not to mention the fans at the scene and watching the live broadcast.
"Second Young Master actually won this award? Best Supporting Actor?"
"Oh my god, the winner is actually the Second Young Master? I suddenly felt unprecedentedly shocked. It's not that I don't believe in the Second Young Master, it's just that the Second Young Master's advantage is too small."
"It's Master. It's Master who won the award. I knew that Master would definitely win the award."
"Master's acting is so good. If he hadn't won this award, I would have thought the Hundred Flowers Awards would be unfair. It turned out to be just as I expected. Congratulations to Master."
"Spread the flowers! Er Shao, who debuted only half a year ago, actually won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards. I feel like I'm dreaming. The idol I'm a fan of is indeed extraordinary."
"Wow, this is his first time winning an award and he's already won such a big award? And it's the Hundred Flowers Award? This is going to be incredible."
"Master has been invincible for a long time. I am used to it."
"Is the Second Young Master planning to break out of China?"
…
The winner turned out to be Ouyang Qianran? The smile on the supporting actor's face in "Youth Memoirs" froze, while Ouyang Yi showed an expression of disbelief.
Wu Guodong, who was sitting next to Ouyang Qianran, and Liang Jianwen, who was sitting next to Wu Guodong, also looked at Ouyang Qianran in shock.
Ouyang Qianran's slightly surprised expression appeared on the big screen. Ouyang Qianran reacted quickly and walked up to the podium.
Taking the trophy from the guest, Ouyang Qianran looked at the audience with a serious face, and some low voices echoed throughout the award ceremony venue.
"I would like to thank my family, my friends, and my fans for their support. Actually, I didn't prepare a speech for accepting the award because I never thought I would receive this award. I thought I was just here for show."
Ouyang Qianran's words made the people in the audience laugh, and they felt that Ouyang Qianran seemed a little too honest.
"In the end, I found out that I was actually the one who beat the Baihua Award winner." Ouyang Qianran shrugged, and then with a serious expression, "Finally, I would like to thank the Baihua Award."
He actually said such funny words, and the audience burst into laughter again.
"Haha, this is so funny. This is the funniest acceptance speech I have ever heard."
"This Ouyang Qianran doesn't seem as difficult to get along with as he looks on the surface, and he doesn't have the temper of a young master, which is good."
"I really didn't expect that he would win the award, but I wasn't too surprised because his acting skills are really good."
…
The surprise and joy brought by Ouyang Qianran were just a gust of wind. After that, no one would care anymore, because the next moment was the time to present the Best Actor and Actress awards. The atmosphere that had just been created by Ouyang Qianran suddenly became solemn again.
Liang Jianwen clenched his fists. Although he had won the Best Actor Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards before, that was three years ago. The year before last, he lost to Ouyang Yi. This year, he was competing with Ouyang Yi again. Although the other competitors were also strong, they were not as strong as him and Ouyang Yi. Therefore, this award is most likely to be won between him and Ouyang Yi.
"The winner of the Best Actor Award is..."
Could it be him, Liang Jianwen? Liang Jianwen was looking forward to hearing his name from the award presenter.
"Ouyang Yi..."
All the strength in his body seemed to have drained away at this moment, like a deflated balloon. After taking a deep breath, Liang Jianwen still smiled and applauded Ouyang Yi. In fact, he had already anticipated this, but he just wanted to hope that a miracle would happen like Ouyang Qianran.
But unfortunately, miracles only happen once.
