Jiang Se was not surprised by this result. In order to help her win the "Best Supporting Actress" award this time, Century Galaxy not only played a huge role in Xia Chaoqun's strong connections, but the company also invested a lot of money.
Mo Anqi clapped her hands desperately. At this time, the director turned the camera to Jiang Se, watching her stand up with her skirt pressed down, bow to the crowd and audience around her, and then walk to the stage.
Her white dress attracted the attention of many netizens. Although many people were still dissatisfied because she won the Best Supporting Actress award, some people began to notice that Jiang Se's fashion sense was amazing every time she appeared in public since her debut.
Whether it was the dress she wore when she first appeared on "Filmmakers in the Circle", or the advertising stills she shot later, or the signing event she attended at Hong Kong China, or the white dress she wore at the film festival today, every time she wore it, it was elegant and appropriate, just right, showing her personal temperament and making it difficult for people to have a bad impression of her.
"Congratulations, Jiang Se."
The male host who presented the award to Jiang Se held an angel-shaped trophy and said, "Your performance in "Beijing Events" was very wonderful this time. Do you have anything to say to everyone after receiving this award?"
Xia Chaoqun had prepared a speech for Jiang Se to receive the award early in the morning. As soon as the host finished speaking, Jiang Se nodded and took the trophy with a smile:
"Compared to the trophy, I am more happy to receive the recognition from my predecessors..."
She was very calm and composed, and did not show any stage fright because it was her first time to accept an award. She showed her smile in the venue and in front of countless cameras.
Feng Nan, who was sitting in the audience, grabbed his thighs tightly to avoid making a sound.
She has lost the qualification to win an important award at this film festival. After her rebirth, Feng Nan positioned herself as a high-end actress in the future. When it comes to taking roles, she is eyeing the most popular and well-received movies in which she starred before her rebirth.
So far, the only movie she has acted in is "Rescue Operation". Now that she has lost the Best Supporting Actress award, the only award she has a chance of winning is the Best Newcomer Award.
But compared to the awards Jiang Se won, even if she won the Best Newcomer Award, it would only be a consolation prize.
Feng Nan couldn't stop feeling disappointed. She could hardly keep the smile on her face. She didn't turn around to look at Zhao Junhan on the other end. Perhaps in her mind, Zhao Junhan in her previous life was omnipotent, so she trusted him too much. However, she didn't expect that Zhao Junhan's ability was just this.
Zhang Jing'an turned his head and glanced at Feng Nan. He had also seen Feng Nan's little behavior before.
The circle has its own set of quasi-rules regarding awards. Feng Nan has good acting skills, a good family background, and a rich fiancé, but the only thing he lacks is a good agency and no resources or connections.
Although the election of film festival judges is based on fairness and impartiality as much as possible, it is impossible to fully achieve these two points as long as there are people.
Different judges have their own hobbies, and there are personal connections between judges. For example, Jiang Se won the Best Supporting Actress Award for the movie "Beijing Great Event". It is said that Hou Xiling was so shameless that he invited several old friends to have tea for her.
In addition, Jiang Se's character in "Beijing Sacrifice" is very pleasing. Her elegant temperament makes people feel particularly sympathetic to her experience when she is filming the fall of a young girl from prostitution, and they have a stronger liking for her.
When her clip first appeared, even Zhang Jing'an's eyes lit up, and he wondered what kind of role Jiang Se could play if he were to shoot a movie set in the Republic of China period.
In order for her to win this award, Century Galaxy agreed to sponsor the next China Film Festival, which also added more votes of favorability. Feng Nan’s loss was not unfair.
Compared with other female stars like Zhao Ruoyun, she does have acting skills. She also performed very well in the scene where Miss Jiangkou was insulted by the Japanese invaders in "Rescue Operation", but she knows too little about this industry.
He turned to look at Liu Ye again. Liu Ye looked thoughtful. Jiang Se was still giving a thank you speech on the stage. He still remembered what this girl looked like when she was a minor actress in his crew. He crossed his arms and asked Liu Ye with a smile:
"I heard that Zhao Rang intends to invite you to be the protagonist of the next movie and work with Jiang Se?"
Liu Ye had not agreed before. At his current situation, with no shortage of money or fame, he was very careful about his reputation.
The script of "The Devil" was good, but the fact that the female lead was Jiang Se made him a little hesitant. In addition, Zhao Rang had never filmed this type of movie before, which made Liu Ye even more unwilling to take risks.
But now that Jiang Se won the Best Supporting Actress award, Liu Ye looked at her differently.
The film festival awards do have their own special rules, and emotional votes can be used later, but the prerequisite is that Jiang Se himself must have a certain level of strength to be qualified for the nomination and then win the award.
After all, if the actors are too unworthy of their reputation, the credibility of the film festival will be questioned, and the organizers will not let such a thing happen.
"Shu Peien was one of the judges this time. It is said that he cast his vote for Jiang Se."
Liu Ye didn't say anything. Zhang Jingan smiled and revealed a piece of information.
Shu Pein is known as the number one film critic in the country. He is knowledgeable and has a unique vision in appreciating movies. If Liu Ye does not believe that the film festival is completely fair and just, then he has no doubts about Shu Pein at all.
This person is never bound by personal relationships, and when he writes film reviews, he writes purely from his own perspective. He will not be more lenient just because of a special relationship with anyone. When he wrote a review for "Rescue Operation" before, his evaluation was very objective, and he was only brief in praising Zhang Jing'an. He commented on the characters in the play, and unexpectedly, he commented on the supporting roles.
"I remember that he praised Jiang Se during the filming of 'Rescue Operation', didn't he?"
Liu Ye turned around and asked quietly. Zhang Jingan coughed and replied:
"He is very optimistic about Jiang Se. Liu Ye, if Zhao Rang's new script is suitable, you can consider it."
If Shu Peien's vote was cast for Jiang Se, then as Zhang Jing'an said, Liu Ye did have to consider it. This script is indeed very good, but he finally thought about it:
"No rush, I'll see later."
The two of them whispered a few words in the audience. Jiang Se had finished his speech on the stage and walked off the stage with the trophy.
Among the next few awards presented, the Best Story Award was still won by "Beijing Events" as Feng Nan remembered, and the title of Best Director was won by Zhang Jing'an of "Rescue Operation".
When nominating for the Best Newcomer Award, Feng Nan heard the voice on the screen say:
"'Rescue Operation', Feng Nan." He managed to force a smile, and the next moment he heard the narrator continue:
"'Beijing Grand Events', Jiang Se... 'About My Love for You', Jiang Se."
This time, Jiang Se has two more films nominated for the Best Newcomer Award!
Regardless of whether she wins the final victory or not, the three nominations tonight alone are enough to make her the biggest winner of this China International Film Festival! (To be continued)
