"The films that won the Best Visual Effects award this year are... *The Night Is Coming* and *The Lone Ranger*!"
"They tied for first place this time. Congratulations to them!"
The guest announced it with a smile.
Two winning entries?
Moreover, one of them is "Night Is Coming," which just won the Best New Director award.
A commotion erupted as everyone turned to look at Ye Chen.
The Hong Kong Film Awards have a total of 21 categories, and the film "Nightfall" has already won two of the three categories that have just been awarded. That's amazing!
"The Night Is Coming" has only been released for a few days, a month or so, and it has already won two major awards.
Terrifying!!!
The guests who had initially mocked Ye Chen and his group for being just there to make up the numbers, to play supporting roles, were dumbfounded.
Peng Heqi was even more dumbfounded.
Wait a minute, why is Ye Chen the winner of the Best Visual Effects award again, not him?
The father's promise was incorrect.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Chen and his team went on stage together with the crew of another award-winning film.
Because Ye Chen's group was so eye-catching, everyone's attention was drawn to them, while the "Lone Traveler" program team, which also won an award, became the foil.
"Mr. Ye, you just stepped off the stage and now you're coming back up to receive an award. How do you feel about that?"
The host couldn't help but pass the topic to Ye Chen.
"Feelings?"
"I don't feel anything."
Ye Chen shook his head calmly.
"ah?"
The host was somewhat at a loss for words after hearing Ye Chen's response.
"Then, Mr. Ye, why were your acceptance speeches so concise and brief on both occasions?"
The host changed the topic.
"Well, I don't speak much in my acceptance speeches because I feel that if I go on stage too often and speak too much, my voice will get hoarse."
Ye Chen spoke the truth.
Since receiving that "good news," Ye Chen's expectations for "The Dark Night Is Coming" at the Hong Kong Film Awards have greatly increased.
Ye Chen's words shocked everyone present.
Everyone stared at Ye Chen in astonishment. Had his voice become hoarse from speaking so many times on stage?
How many times do I have to go on stage before my voice gets hoarse?
Isn't Ye Chen a bit outrageous and overly confident?
"Hmph, you've only won two awards and you're already getting cocky. Who do you think you are? Do you think you'll win any more awards in the future?"
In the audience, Peng Heqi, filled with intense jealousy, stubbornly retorted with sarcasm.
After the awards ceremony, Ye Chen and the others left the stage.
The awards ceremony continued, and among the next dozen or so awards, "The Night Is Coming" won four more.
Including the two we just saw, "Nightfall" has now won six different Hong Kong Film Awards!
This is already close to one-third of all the awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
Everyone present was extremely envious as they watched Ye Chen win awards left and right.
Especially Peng Heqi, who had just been making sarcastic remarks, looked extremely ugly, as if he had eaten shit.
Time ticked by, and with all the other awards presented, only the highlight of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards – the Best Film award – remained to be announced.
Numerous renowned directors and guests were eagerly anticipating this highlight of the event.
Many of them came for the Best Film award, and they were determined to win.
Several of their films achieved remarkable success!
"I hereby announce that the winner of this year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards - Best Film is... *The Night Is Coming*!!!"
On stage, a distinguished guest announced the final results.
"The Night Is Coming" has taken home the most important award this time: Best Picture!
"What?!!!"
"The Best Film award goes to 'The Night Is Coming,' I disagree!!!"
"I'm not convinced either. Why should this year's Best Film award be given to a new film that hasn't even been released for a month? Our film is no worse than his, whether it's box office, ratings, or influence."
"A cover-up, a cover-up............"
"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake? Did you get the wrong list of winners?"
Numerous people were arguing at the scene.
It's one thing for the new movie "Night Is Coming" to win other minor awards, but why did Ye Chen get the grand prize?
They disagree!
They admitted that "The Night Is Coming" was more popular than their film, but "The Night Is Coming" didn't do as well at the box office.
How can a movie that has only been released for about half a month compare with movies that have been released for half a year and were once very popular at the box office?
This must be a cover-up.
On stage, the distinguished guest looked at the judging panel not far away to make sure he had not picked up the wrong list of winners.
The jury shook their heads, indicating that the Best Film award for this year belonged to "The Night Is Coming".
"Please welcome Mr. Ye to the stage to receive the award."
The host invites you.
Amidst the skeptical gazes of the crowd, Ye Chen slowly rose and led his men onto the stage.
"Why did your film 'The Night Is Coming' win an award?"
"I disagree. You must have bribed the judging panel."
"I disagree! RMM, refund my money!!!"
...
After Ye Chen took the stage, the debate intensified.
Ye Chen remained completely calm in the face of these questions.
Ye Chen picked up the microphone, glanced at the many guests who were questioning him, and began to speak:
"You're curious why 'The Night Is Coming' won Best Picture this year, right? Now I'll tell you why..."
In an instant, the entire awards ceremony fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on Ye Chen!
