The Grand Hall was the number one film festival in the world, and it was also because of this that Yun Xiangxiang and Lu Jin hardly knew each other.
Lu Jin was a little better than her. He worked much more with international directors, and he also knew some international big-name actors, but he wasn’t particularly good with them,
yun Xiangxiang didn’t plan to socialize and expand her network, and Lu Jin accompanied her from the beginning to the end. On the other hand, Wei Shanwen couldn’t be seen here, so the director was naturally different from them. Yun Xiangxiang and Lu Jin didn’t go looking for him either.
Although Lu Jin had not received this highest honor award, it was not his first time here. He had been recommended and entered unit competitions before, so he was more familiar with this place, he led Yun Xiangxiang to understand some of the history of this place.
They probably did not have a high status in the international scene. No one came to greet them, and no media came to disturb them. They waited until the film festival awards.
After finding a quiet spot for them, Yun Xiangxiang and Lu Jin, who were both in the same movie, naturally sat next to each other.
The opening ceremony was slightly different from China. Chinese films usually opened with exciting large-scale programs, but they opened with a humorous and funny program to make the atmosphere relaxed and happy.
The first awards that were presented were rarely nominated in the whole of Asia, not to mention Yun Xiangxiang and Lu Jin.
However, it did not hinder the fact that the works that were shown were all excellent works. Even though they were all short clips, Yun Xiangxiang could see the whole picture with just a glance. Yun Xiangxiang watched with great interest.
When the Best Original Music Award was presented, unexpectedly, “Soar to the Sky”was nominated.
The interlude and the opening song of the film “Soar to the sky”were all made by Wei Shanwen at a great price. He had invited famous Chinese musicians and music masters from Japan to work together to create them. The melody was beautiful, moving, and the melody was novel, it had a very ancient charm.
There were now pure ancient-style musicians in China who had filled in the ancient-style lyrics and sang them. It was not at all out of place.
However, Yun Xiangxiang did not have much appreciation for music. She felt that they were all pretty, and they were the best.
It was a pity that Yun Xiangxiang was not a judge. Although she was nominated, this award went to someone else.
“This is the first time our country’s film has been nominated for this award.”Lu Jin felt a little regretful that their film did not receive an award, but he was still proud. At least it was a breakthrough, right?
“There will be more in the future.”Just like how China was getting stronger and stronger, Yun Xiangxiang believed that they would eventually have a place in this field.
Next was the Best Editing Award, the Best Cinematography Award, and the Best Art Direction Award. Then came the best visual effects award, and “Soar to the Sky”was nominated again.
After announcing the four nominated films, Yun Xiangxiang and Lu Jin couldn’t help but clap loudly.
The recognition of visual effects was the recognition of the entire team, including the shooting, editing, actors, and sets. Only when all of these were in place would the visual effects be good.
Unfortunately, they were once again playing along.
“I’m convinced.”Yun Xiangxiang looked at the clips played by the other three films. The visual effects were too striking. Some were magnificent, some were meticulous, some were bright, and the levels were clear..
“It’s a good time to rest. I have less things to do. I have to go back and get these films to worship.”
Not all foreign films that won big awards would be released in China. There had been many good films in the past that had won world awards. The news was everywhere, but many people had never heard of them.
Then there was the Best Costume Design Award. “Soar to the Sky”was nominated for the third time. This was a record for a Chinese film nominated at the film festival in Grand Hall. Yun Xiangxiang and Lu Jin felt that it would be worth it even if they were to accompany them again, at least they had taken a big step forward.
“Now, I am honored to announce that the winner of this award is a design from China -- Deng!”
Yun Xiangxiang was stunned. She looked at Lu Jin in disbelief. “Did I hear wrong?”
“You didn’t hear wrong. Sister Yang has won the award. Our work has won the award!”Lu Jin was also very excited.
Yun Xiangxiang saw that Deng Yang, who was not with them, had already stood up and walked slowly to the podium. The big screen was playing the clip of “Soar to the sky”, focusing on the actors’costumes.
For some reason, Yun Xiangxiang suddenly felt tears in her eyes. She had the urge to cry out of joy.
She quickly raised her head slightly to force the tears in her eyes back.
“Good evening, ladies and Gentlemen.”Deng Yang’s smile was elegant. She was wearing a one-shouldered gown with a long earring that glittered with diamonds. The glow of the diamonds made her smile even more charming.
“I once thanked God for giving me talent. I thought that I was its favorite and that I was so different from the rest. But it let betrayal wake me up and let the illness train me. I was once decadent, resentful, and even gave up...”
“I’m very glad that I didn’t really give up. I’m also very grateful that it met the person in my life when I was at my most desperate.”. Yes, that’s right. She was the female lead of the film “Soar to the sky,”a famous actress in China -- Yun. “Because of her, I was able to stand on this stage.”
Yun Xiangxiang was shocked. She didn’t expect Deng Yang to mention her so solemnly in such a moment of public attention and glory.
Moreover, the organizers of the film festival also gave her face and gave her a close-up.
Everything was so unexpected. Yun Xiangxiang could only humbly maintain her smile and made a gesture of putting her hands together and bowing slightly.
When the lights left, Lu Jin could not help but tease her, “This is no different from winning an award.”
Many people had told Lu Jin that Yun Xiangxiang was lucky, but Lu Jin saw that she was more hardworking and serious. This time, he had to admit that Yun Xiangxiang’s luck was extremely difficult for ordinary people.
“Sister Yang wants to give me a facial.”Yun Xiangxiang could not tell what she was feeling at this moment.
“I don’t think so. She is sincere.”Lu Jin could still tell from a person’s eyes whether this person’s words were sincere or not, “She is really grateful to you. Back then, when she was in trouble, she chose her without hesitation.”
“That’s because she is talented.”Otherwise, Yun Xiangxiang would not have chosen Deng Yang. After all, Deng Yang was on her own today. Yun Xiangxiang did not think that she had made such a big contribution.
Especially when she worked with Deng Yang. She never had to worry about the gowns she wore on various occasions. Every year, she received a large amount of dividends.
Lu Jin shook his head and smiled. He did not argue with Yun Xiangxiang anymore. He could see clearly that Yun Xiangxiang was too broad-minded and too magnanimous. This was probably why so many people, including himself.., the reason why he liked to interact with her so much.
