After the award-giving guest came on stage and read out a list of shortlisted names, he finally said the name:

"The winner of the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the 61st Venice International Film Festival is...Cheng Yuan's "Light Within", congratulations!"

"I won the prize, I won the prize!!" Mr. Zhou was even happier than Cheng Yu'an! He pulled Cheng Yu'an tightly.

"Quickly, send the news back to China! Director Cheng has won the award for Best Director!! Hurry!!" Domestic reporters present immediately sent the news back to China.

The 22-year-old Best Director in Venice! Unprecedented!

domestic.

"Best Director in Venice!!" Cheng Lingfeng jumped three feet high!

This is the first of the top three remotely!

"The crew of "The Light Within" will receive a 20% salary increase! Hahaha!" With this award, Yuan Yuan has completely established a foothold in the country, and no one can ignore her.

"Venice News. Chinese director Cheng Yu'an won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the 61st Venice International Film Festival for "The Light Within"."

The movie channel website will be posted on the front page immediately.

"Director Cheng won the Best Director in Venice!"

“The 22-year-old best director in Venice!!”

The domestic film industry has become very noisy.

"I wonder what we will do with the Golden Rooster Award this time."

As Cheng Yuan's alma mater, Beijing Film Academy immediately reported the news.

China Film's publicity immediately followed suit: "Venice's best director's work "The Light Within" is scheduled to be released during the National Day!"

On the stage of Venice.

Cheng Yu'an held the Silver Lion trophy and said excitedly: "I'm very excited, really. Many people say that you are still young and need to exercise. But movies have never been exclusive to some people. Thank you Venice, thank you to my alma mater Jingcheng

The film school has trained me, especially my teacher, Mr. Hou Kenming, who has tolerated me."

Hou Kenming was sitting in the audience. When he heard Cheng Yu'an thanking him alone, he felt like crying even in his middle age.

Cheng Yu'an is his favorite and least worried student.

"Thank you to my actors, Sister Xun, and Uncle Long. You are the best actors in China. Thank you to my crew and my little aunt. They gave me support and allowed me to successfully complete this movie."

.Thanks."

Cheng Yu'an shook the Silver Lion trophy to the audience and bowed before leaving the stage.

"But movies have never been exclusive to certain people." This sentence was obviously meant for the Golden Rooster Awards.

Cheng Yuan ended the short interview backstage and returned to his seat.

His face turned rosy with the excitement of winning the prize.

"Show me." Mr. Zhou grabbed the Silver Lion trophy and kept stroking it.

"The portion is quite generous." Mr. Zhou was confused.

The subsequent awards ceremony has nothing to do with "The Light Within".

The next day, major film media rushed to report on the just-concluded Venice Film Festival.

They all invariably focused their attention on Cheng Yuan.

"The youngest Venice best director in history is born!"

"22-year-old Cheng Yu'an, the idol of young directors around the world"

After spending another two days in Venice, on September 15th, the "Warmth and Light Contains" group returned home.

As soon as he got off the plane, Cheng Yuan was blocked by a group of reporters.

Cheng Yuan is completely on fire!

There has never been a 22-year-old Best Director in Venice before, and it’s hard to say in the future. At least there won’t be another one in ten years.

"Director Cheng! What is your biggest feeling during this trip to Venice?"

"Director Cheng, do you have any new film plans next?"

"Director Cheng, please say a few words."

"Director Cheng, what you said on the Venice stage were directed at the Golden Rooster Award?"

"Director Cheng, what is your expectation for the box office of "The Light Within"?

Cheng Yu'an was very tired now. He really didn't have the energy to deal with reporters. He could only force himself up and said with a smile: "Dear journalists, when I go home and have a good rest, I will hold a press conference. Everyone's questions will be answered by then. Now please let me know."

How about giving way?"

Cheng Lingfeng came to pick him up in person. After Cheng Yuan got in the car, he lay down and fell asleep without saying anything.

After Cheng Yuan returned to China, he declined all interviews and slept at home for two days to regain his energy.

After that, Cheng Yuan was either on his way to be interviewed or on his way to attend a seminar.

What to study?

The leadership department believes that Cheng Yuan's trip to Venice is of great reference for domestic films going overseas.

Several seminars were held, but most of the time Cheng Yu'an was listening and the leadership experts were speaking.

It’s not enough not to go to this kind of seminar.

Then came the interview with the Sixth Princess. This face must be given.

The excitement of winning the award had subsided. After occupying the front page for four or five days, Cheng Yu'an was squeezed out by Nicholas Tse and Zhang Weijian.

A beating incident occurred on the set of "Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wu Que"!

Whether this matter is right or wrong is aside for the time being, but the unequal status of actors from mainland China and Hong Kong and Taiwan reflected behind this is something everyone has seen.

It's really strange these days. There are so many good actors from the Mainland that are being left unused, and Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have to be used.

If the other party's drama is good, then of course it goes without saying, but the problem is, the other party's drama may not necessarily be able to beat the mainland actors.

But it's strange that the audience loves to watch this group of people.

Mainland's first-tier stars go to work as supporting actors for second- and third-tier actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Actors who can't make it in Hong Kong and Taiwan become the protagonists in the mainland.

Really speechless.

Cheng Yu'an has no sectarian views. No matter where you are an actor, as long as you act well and have good character, Cheng Yu'an will be happy to cooperate.

But this thing doesn't make sense, and it's not something Cheng Yu'an can change alone.

The filming of "Animal World" Ur Fan has been completed and is in post-production.

Cheng Yu'an went to check it out. It was done well and should be ready for the Lunar New Year.

The time came to the end of September, the Beijing Film Academy held a trial screening of "Warmth and Light Within".

Cheng Yuan finally showed up.

"I will answer each one." Cheng Yu'an stopped the reporter.

"Director Cheng, what are your expectations for the box office of "The Light Within"?

"This is an art film, and the box office is hard to say. I would be very satisfied if it received 20 to 30 million." The overseas rights of "The Light Within" have been sold in Venice, and the cost has been recovered.

He really can't predict how much it will sell in China. Domestic audiences are not as interested in art films as European audiences.

"Director Cheng, do you have any work plans for the future?"

"There won't be any new dramas this year. I still have to focus on the post-production of "Animal World". The next time we meet is during the Lunar New Year."

…………

After the debut of "Warm and Inner Light", it aroused unanimous praise from the industry.

However, the response from the audience after its release was average.

This is also within the expectations of Cheng Yu'an and China Film Group. "Warmth and Light" is a bit dull, and the audience may not accept it.

Also competing with Cheng Yu'an in the National Day slot is Lu Chuan's "Kekexili".

Even worse, the box office was only 6 million.

"The Warmth and the Light" managed to hit the box office with a box office of 23 million thanks to Cheng Yuan's title of Best Director in Venice.

Something else happened in the middle.

Zhang Bearded's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" did some tricks before filming started.

I kidnapped Cheng Yuan for hype!

"Zhang Jizhong revealed that Cheng Yu'an will serve as the producer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"

Everyone in the industry knows that Zhang Jizhong kicked Cheng Yuan out of the crew because he changed his character style. The two of them had some unpleasant quarrels.

Now he has hired Cheng Yu'an as a producer? Zhang Beard is really good at playing.

But there was no response remotely, which made people even more imaginative.

Cheng Yuan and Zhang Jizhong reconciled?

So much so that Liu Yifei even called Cheng Yuan to verify the matter.

She has been confirmed to play the role of Little Dragon Girl.

"Teacher Cheng, is what is said in the news true? Will you be the producer of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

"The company has no such arrangement, this is Zhang Jizhong's wishful thinking." Cheng Yu'an told her the truth.
Chapter completed!
