Chapter 703: Ceremony
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“…Hey, do you people have some strange attributes? Although I like Lu Zhen very much, you don’t have to act so fanatical and exaggerated, right? It’s simply to the extent that Lu Zhen herself will be afraid when she sees it.”
Ordinary netizens felt very interested when they saw those fanatical comments. Unknowingly, their impression of Lu Zhen was not that bad. On careful thought, Lu Zhen really did not seem to have made any big mistakes.
There were many celebrities who broke the law in the entertainment industry, and there were also some celebrities who ruined other people’s marriages or were third parties. Even if Lu Zhen’s act of being a big shot was true, it was not a big crime.
Previously, so many people on the Internet had scolded Lu Zhen, making it seem like Lu Zhen had to leave the industry to atone for her sins. Wasn’t that too harsh? Who in this world would not make mistakes? If Lu Zhen had indeed done something wrong, he had to give her a chance to correct herself.
Some netizens felt that Lu Zhen’s mistake was not unforgivable, but some netizens felt that they could not be so unprincipled and still firmly boycotted Lu Zhen. Those who had these two theories were about to argue again.
At this moment, at the event location of the Chunjiang Film Festival, Lu Zhen saw Ding Zhi and greeted him from afar. Ding Zhi walked over and looked to be in a good mood. He gave Lu Zhen a friendly smile and praised, “You’re dressed very beautifully today. You look like a spring breeze.”
“Beauty” won an important award at the Holy Grail Film Festival and was nominated for many major awards at the country’s important film festival. Ding Zhi was naturally happy. It could even be said that his glory for the rest of his life could be supported by this movie.
At the same time, Ding Zhi also hoped that Lu Zhen would really win the Best Actress Award. Lu Zhen was the female lead of “Beauty”. Lu Zhen’s honor was naturally also the honor of the movie “Beauty”. It was also his honor. If a movie queen could appear in his production team, it would increase his status in the director’s world.
The two of them walked to a row of seats at the front. Ding Zhi lowered his voice and said, “I’ve asked around. The possibility of you winning an award is very high.”
Lu Zhen smiled. “I hope to win an award too.”
After the two of them sat down, Lu Zhen saw that Xu Rui was not present. Only Xi De and Wu Dai were sitting on the other side. Ding Zhi explained, “Although I can’t be sure if you can win an award, I can confirm that Xu Rui hasn’t been nominated for any award, so I suggest that she doesn’t come.” That was Ding Zhi’s suggestion, and Xu Rui did not want to come either.
The Chunjiang Film Festival was different from the Holy Grail Film Festival. The Holy Grail Film Festival was an international film festival. Even if she didn’t win an award, she could take the opportunity to go to the film crew. It was considered a golden opportunity for her.
Moreover, the Holy Grail Film Festival would not give her any scenes. If she went, the netizens would not think of what she and Lu Zhen had done on the variety show. However, domestic film festivals were different. “Beauty” would definitely be the protagonist at the Chunjiang Film Festival. If she was there, they would definitely give her a few scenes.
She wouldn’t win an award, and Lu Zhen was the popular winner at the award ceremony. The comparison on the first level was already very embarrassing. Coupled with the previous variety show, if the netizens remembered the things she had done to slander Lu Zhen, she would definitely be scolded again.
After some consideration, Xu Rui decided not to come.
Lu Zhen did not take it to heart whether Xu Rui came to the film festival or not. After greeting Xi De and Wu Dai, she looked at the stage.
At noon, the award ceremony began. At the international film festival,
“Beauty” only appeared briefly and did not have much influence. At the Chunjiang Film Festival, “Beauty” was nominated for nine important awards, and it was not the kind of nomination that acted as foils.
Among them, Beauty won Best Film, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenwriter, Best Cinematography.
Ding Zhi and the main creative team of Beauty went on stage to receive the award again and again. The smiles of the other celebrities and directors who were present below the stage were almost stiff.
This time, the Chunjiang Film Festival might as well change its name to “Beauty” Film Festival!
Although they were jealous, most people knew that this was a very normal outcome.
The box office and reputation of “Beauty” had already proven that this was a very outstanding work. It was both commercial and artistic, representing the highest level of domestic movies in recent years.
Although the film market in Country Z was very prosperous, there were not many truly top-notch movies. In fact, they could not even see one or two in a year. The entertainment industry was becoming more and more obsessed with fame and profit. The directors were also more inclined to film commercial films..
