All aspects of the award ceremony were of high specification, including the theater under the banner of Wen Nan, which was also redecorated, with exquisite and gorgeous lighting and stage, and the emcee of the award ceremony was naturally invited to be a famous talker in the city.
The idea is to make the awards show look grand and high quality, and to make a name for themselves in one shot.
Together with the presence of a few old titans from Park Runner, the atmosphere was indeed great from the start, and it could be described as pushy.
Qiao Wen, who was sitting in the front row of the guest seats, gradually relaxed as he saw the smooth opening of one award after another. On the contrary, it was Chen Canaan beside him, who had been staring earnestly at the stage, not exchanging pleasantries, and only touching his bow tie from time to time.
Qiao Wen silently glanced at him, remembering that this guy has always been full of care saying that it does not matter if he wins the award or not, but when he left the house this evening, at least half an hour in front of the mirror to tidy up his appearance, the so-called do not care about it is just a lie.
Jovan pulled at the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Nervous? Afraid you won't win the award?"
Chen Canaan sat up straight, slightly angled his head, and said, "I don't care about this, what's the tension?"
Jovian squinted at him as he went to touch the bow tie again and laughed softly, "Stop touching it, be careful of touching it crookedly."
Chen Canaan hurriedly withdrew his hand, and after a few moments, he whispered in a general manner of desire, "I really wasn't nervous."
Jovian shook his hand under the chair and said, "Understood."
His palms were already sweaty, and this lack of nervousness was really unconvincing.
In fact, the weight of the Action Direction Award in the whole movie awards, is not really important, far less than the attention of the male and female leads and directors. Fortunately, nowadays is the era of action movies, Wu Xing has a great influence in the movie industry, even if Chen Canaan does not act, he and the Chen family class has long been famous in Hong Kong, and even many children's idol, the name of pretty boy Nan, almost a household name.
Qiao Wen was certain that Chen Canaan was destined to become a name that could not be ignored in this world's movie history. If he could successfully win the award tonight, it would mean that he was fully recognized for the first time in the film industry.
The big awards stayed at the end, and the technical categories of action direction were in the middle, which didn't make Chen Canaan nervous for too long.
"The next award to be presented is the Best Action Director Award, please welcome our guest of honor, Mr. Li Tongxing."
After the emcee finished, in the thunderous applause of the audience, a hale and hearty old man in a black Tang suit stood up from the guest of honor seat, waved his hand back and forth, and walked towards the stage.
The emcee continued, "Mr. Li, as the pioneer of the film Wu Xing, has made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong City's action films, and the fact that Mr. Li opens this award tonight also means that Wu Xing is carrying on the legacy of Wu Xing. So let's wait and see who the winner of this award with special significance will be?"
Li Tongxing was originally an opera troupe master, Beijing opera did not fall behind, transferred to the film martial arts, is the first batch of professional martial arts masters in Hong Kong City, it is not too much to say that today's film dragon and tiger martial arts masters of the grandfather. It is indeed meaningful for him to present this award.
This is also a consideration for Jovian.
As the old gentleman took the envelope on Miss Manners' tray, Chen Canaan fiercely clutched his hand, his eyes widening with a thief's glare, staring at the old man on the stage with a single mistake.
Jovian amusedly patted the back of his hand in reassurance, but the other man was obviously oblivious and had his mind on his cheap ancestor.
Li Tongxing out of the envelope out of the card, looked at the stage, into the microphone word by word, "The first Golden Dragon Award best action director is ......" This person is quite quite will sell, said here, deliberately paused, "is the ...... 'Double Dagger Wonder Man' action director Chen Canaan."
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Chen Canaan incredulously grabbed Qiao Wen's shoulder and said excitedly, "Xiao Qiao, is it really me?"
Qiaowen nodded and smiled, "That's right, hurry up and go to the stage to receive your award."
Chen Canaan was about to get up, but as if remembering something, he said, "Can you quickly help me see if my hair is messed up?"
Those around him who heard him say this couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jovian shook his head in amusement, brushed his hair and reached out to straighten the bowtie on his chest that had been touched slightly askew, and patted him on the shoulder, "Go on!"
Chen Canaan reached out to hug him, stood up and waved his hand, pretending to walk onto the stage calmly. However, when he was walking up the steps, it was clear that he accidentally tripped because he was too excited, but fortunately, he was really agile and didn't let anyone see it.
He walked up to Li Tongxing, shook hands and bowed, and received the first trophy in his life - at this time, he didn't know that in the remaining decades of his life, he would become the best martial arts director or even action movie director, and would receive countless awards.
So at the moment this gold-plated trophy is like a treasure to him.
He stood in front of the microphone, raised the trophy, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you ......" He actually had quietly prepared an acceptance speech last night, but at this moment, he saw the audience in the audience of the great number of people, and then the words were poor, his eyes finally fell on the face of Qiaowen, and began to Flying self, "Thank you to the organizing committee for my affirmation, can get this award, I want to thank a lot of people, but because too excited, I can not think of their names ......"
Not to mention the guests and the audience, Jovan was amused by him.
"But there is one person I want to thank and certainly won't forget, and that's my brother partner and lifelong closest confidant Joe Man." With that he solemnly said, "Thank you Little Joe."
Qiao Wen thought that although he was topped with a white face, it definitely wasn't considered thin-skinned, but when he was incited like this, his face instantly became a little hot, and when he felt the crowd's gazes and magnesium lights clicking on him, he rubbed his nose and waved his hand towards the handsome young man looking at him on the stage.
Chen Canaan, who was standing on the stage at the moment, seemed exceptionally handsome and handsome. So much so that he vaguely felt a little dizzy as he met his hot gaze from afar.
Only the next moment, his face suddenly changed.
When everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the award ceremony, a crystal lamp above the stage fell straight down without warning. On the verge of hitting Li Tongxing, who is two steps away from Chen Canaan, Chen Canaan, who was holding the microphone and letting himself go, as a conditional reflex, darted to hold Li Tongxing and turned around, avoiding it.
With a clatter, the crystal lamp shattered to the ground, accompanied by the screams of the Miss Manners, and the audience was in an uproar.
Qiao Wen even more a heart almost jumped out of his throat, to make sure that Chen Canaan on the stage was not injured, only slightly relieved.
The incident was sudden, and if there was no live TV broadcast, the awards ceremony could have been temporarily interrupted to deal with the incident and then continue, but with a live broadcast, it certainly couldn't be interrupted.
Qiao Wen's brain was spinning, not expecting Chen Canaan, who had previously let himself go because of his excited nonsense, to have a bright idea at this time, turn back to pick up the crooked microphone and joke: "This must be the test given to our wu xing by the organizing committee of the awards ceremony, and my reaction is still qualified, isn't it?"
Li Tongxing, who was in a false alarm on the side, reacted, clapped and said loudly, "It's well deserved."
The audience applauded cooperatively as he led the way.
In fact, just now the scene with no danger, really let a lot of people on the beautiful son of the South of the body eye-opening. That kind of fast reaction speed, by no means can be made out of the flowery fist, the best action guide deserves to be called.
Several employees flew forward and packed up the crystal lamp fragments. Fortunately, the lamp was only decorative and did not affect the lighting, so the award ceremony could naturally continue unaffected.
When Chen Canaan returned to his seat, several guests stood up next to him and enthusiastically shook his hand. When he sat down, the next award was already on the stage.
Jovian whispered, "It didn't hit, did it?"
Crystal lamps fall, although there is a scare, but splashed by the crumbs, that may also be scratched.
Chen Canaan waved his hand, "It's fine."
Qiaowen nodded, not bothering to pay attention to the awards on the stage, and quietly gave him a thumbs up, "Nan, you just did very well."
Not only did he rely on his hands to save Li Tongxing, but he also reacted in time to quickly defuse the crisis and successfully saved the show, without letting the award ceremony be affected by this small episode.
"It's a small thing." Chen Canaan was unimpressed with his own performance just now, and only held the trophy lovingly, saying, "Luckily, I gripped it tightly and didn't let this trophy fall on the ground."
Jovan: "......"
Well, the most important thing for him tonight is indeed this trophy.
The awards were still in full swing on the stage, and the guests and audience seemed to have completely forgotten about that little episode just now.
The last few awards, male and female lead and best picture, were all taken by a literary film that was a box office flop but had good word of mouth. The producer of this movie was just a small company. There was absolutely no worry that the Golden Dragon Awards would be shut down by one of the organizers, Wen Nan Film, or several other big, rich and powerful companies.
It can be said to be well deserved and well received, convincing everyone that the Golden Dragon Awards were indeed created to support outstanding films.
The two-hour award ceremony came to a perfect end, and Qiao Wen's little heart that had been hanging in the air finally dropped completely. His earlier inexplicable worries were not unreasonable, if not for Chen Canaan's quick reaction, that crystal lamp smashed on the head of any award presenting guest, even if there was no danger to his life, I'm afraid that this awards ceremony would have no way to continue.
Chen Canaan was still immersed in the joy of winning an award for the first time in his life - after all, he was a scum who grew up studying to get the bottom of the exams, and was originally good at nothing in this life except for fighting and brawling, but now that he was holding this trophy, it was as if he had truly found the value of his life for the first time.
Seeing him this happy, Jovian was naturally happy for him, but he just couldn't put that earlier mishap completely behind him as an accident like the others.
After the award ceremony, after accompanying Chen Canaan to accept the interview, he called Tang Xingwei to him and instructed in a low voice: "Wei, go and check carefully what's going on with the lights? Didn't you check it carefully? Why did they still fall down?"
Tang Xingwei nodded, "Well, I'll go check right away."
Chen Canaan, however, was full of concern: "It's fine, anyway, it didn't hurt anyone, and tomorrow the media will have to write that I'm good with my hands!"
Qiaowen whispered, "I'm afraid it's not an accident, it's a man-made incident."
"Huh? Who's coming over with us like that?"
Qiao Wen said, "Guns hit heads, trees attract wind. There are probably many people who want to cross us!" Seeing Chen Canaan frowning, he smiled again, "I'm just saying, first go back to your dad and report the good news to them, and then book a restaurant tomorrow for the whole company to celebrate."
Chen Canaan really put his doubts behind him.
Cars of famous stars outside the theater, leaving one after another.
Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan were about to get into the car when his eyes glanced over to see not far away, Park Runze and Lin Zi Rui standing beside a car talking. He thought for a moment and pulled Chen Canaan over to him, "Elder Bai, there were too many people just now, so I didn't even have a chance to properly thank you."
Park Runze laughed: "Thank you for the words you have already said many times, tonight's awards ceremony can end successfully, I'm already very satisfied, finally did not let everyone's expectations of me."
Qiao Wen said, "The movie awards couldn't have been organized without the support of Park."
Bo Runze laughed and shook his head, and as if he remembered something, he patted Chen Canaan's shoulder, "When an accident like that suddenly happened on the stage tonight, thanks to Anan's quick reaction, or else the awards ceremony would probably have been smashed."
Chen Canaan heatedly waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, not enough."
Park Runze really didn't say anymore, instead, his expression was slightly board, looking at Qiao Wen the words turned: "Although it was a scare, but I still have to criticize you guys, how could the light suddenly fall down? It must be that you guys are not checking carefully, such a work attitude is not acceptable."
"Yes, yes, yes." Qiao Wen was busy nodding his head humbly, "It was our oversight that caused Elder Park to be frightened."
Park Runner said, "It's just that, the first time to organize such a big award ceremony, it's inevitable that something will go wrong, it's good that nothing happened."
"That's right," Lin Zi Rui, who was on the side, chimed in with a smile, "And the fact that Anan reacted so quickly is kind of a sight to see. Tonight's award ceremony was a success, I believe this is a new beginning for Hong Kong City's movie industry, and I hope to see this event every year in the future."
Jovian laughed and said, "A long way to go."
Bo Runze said, "That said, Ah Wen and Ah Nan are indeed young and promising for the future. With young people like you in the Hong Kong City movie industry, there is no worry about tomorrow."
Qiao Wen: "Elder Park is too kind."
Lin Zirui said, "It's Wen who's too modest, by the way," he suddenly extended his hand towards Chen Canaan, "Nan, congratulations on your award."
At the mention of the award, Chen Canaan couldn't help but smile with his eyebrows, "Thank you."
Qiao Wen raised his hand to look at his wristwatch and said, "Elder Park, you go back to rest early. We'll come to the door another day to properly thank you."
Bo Runze smiled and waved his hand, "I've been told not to be polite, this is what I should do. Alright, I'm leaving, you guys take an early rest."
After seeing the old man to his car, Qiao Wen said goodbye to Lin Zirui, "Jeffrey, thank you again for helping to convince Elder Park."
Lin Zi Rui sighed helplessly and spread his hands with a smile, "Ah Wen, you're really too polite. If there's anything I need help with in the future, you guys don't mind the trouble."
"Of course not."
The three of them waved goodbye and went back to their respective cars.
In front of people, Chen Canaan was still embarrassed to show his excitement, and after getting into the car, he could no longer control it and hugged the trophy and kissed it fiercely twice. And regardless of the driver in front of him, he hugged Qiao Wen and kissed him hard.
"Pay attention!" Jovian warned in a low voice.
Only then did the complacent Chen Canaan clear his throat and release the person.
And this box has also been sitting in the car Lin Zi Rui, leaning on the back of the seat, through the car window, looked at the black Mercedes-Benz car in the night that is driving on the road, hooked his lips, smiled and said, "Fei, are from the city cottage out, A Wen A Nan young age on the fame and fortune, you do not envy?"
Qin Yunfei started the car and said in a faint voice, "People have their own lives, there's nothing to envy."
"Really?"
Qin Yunfei: "I'm going to envy them less than I envy you, Jeffrey, born with a golden key."
Lin Zi Rui said, "That's true." Saying that, he smiled, "But you don't have to be envious, as long as you do a good job for me, I definitely won't treat you poorly."
"Thanks Jeffrey."
Lin Zi Rui tilted his head to look out the window at the night, as if muttering to himself, "Interesting, really interesting."
Half an hour later, Chen Canaan, holding the trophy, rushed home to report the news. Although the Chen family had watched the entire program on live television, the sight of the trophy in his hands was still so exciting that it almost caused a protest downstairs.
The most excited is Chen's father, to his late wife on a stick of incense, a sniffle and a tear said: "wife, our Ah Nan now really have success, in the past he did not learn to do well, I always thought that he was either in the classroom, or killed, I did not expect that this kid actually did a career, but also won a big trophy, our Tianjin home ancestral tomb is estimated to smoke. "
To Chen Canaan, who is looking at his mom's last photo: "......"
Farewell!
He silently retreated to Joe's house next door.
Qiao Wen had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed, and after putting someone in, the phone suddenly rang. It was Tang Xingwei calling.
"Man, I just had someone double check, and that crystal lamp has indeed been tampered with."
Qiao Wen frowned and said, "Alright, I know, you investigate everyone you can contact and make sure to find out who the hell is behind this."
"Well, I know."
