In addition to the Best Actor and Best Actress awards, "Flames" was also nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay. When the Best Director award was announced, Director Feng became visibly nervous, and the team members also clenched their fists.
"Congratulations to Director Feng Chuan! Congratulations to Lie Yan!!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.
Director Feng was happy but a little confused. He won the Best Director award
The assistant director quickly pushed him and said, "Wake up! It's time to go and receive the award!"
Ying Yanluo was also happy for Director Feng. After filming together for such a long time, she knew very well how much effort he had put into this drama, so it was well deserved for him to win this trophy!
Even though they knew their chances of winning the Best Screenwriter award were slim, they were still quite nervous. Finally, after hearing the host read out Teacher Zheng Dian's name, Ying Yanluo breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hands and applauded wholeheartedly.
Screenwriter Feng said: "Teacher Zheng is a role model for all of us screenwriters."
Ying Yanluo looked at Zheng Dian, who was holding the trophy and giving his acceptance speech on the stage, and nodded in agreement.
Although they didn't win the Best Actress and Best Screenplay awards, their crew had a very glorious evening tonight. After all, they had won two individual awards for Best Actor and Best Director. Director Feng had already booked a hotel, so they had to celebrate properly tonight!
Ying Yanluo sent a WeChat message to Su Weichu, telling him that she would attend the celebration banquet later.
Su Weichu told her to drink less and come to pick her up after the party.
She agreed obediently.
While backstage, Ying Yanluo saw someone she knew well.
Wei Shu.
Speaking of which, this was their first meeting after Wei Su left the crew that day.
Wei Su was wrapped in a black shawl, surrounded by her team members. No one knew what was going on, but she looked very angry. Unfortunately, they bumped into her head-on. Wei Su glared at Ying Yanluo fiercely, then left without looking back.
Zhao Ranran saw her glaring at someone. Who? They didn't provoke her! Because Ying Yanluo had reminded her seriously last time, and she knew that she was her assistant at the time, and her words and actions were all on her behalf, she was not as straightforward as before, but she couldn't help but lower her head and roll her eyes.
She was sure that she felt bad because she didn't win the Best Actress award. She would definitely congratulate Sister Ye when she got back! She hoped that Sister Ye would outshine her and win the trophy at various award ceremonies at the end of the year!
Ying Yanluo didn't take this little incident to heart. She had to attend the celebration party held by their crew.
After arriving at the hotel, Ying Yanluo saw actors from several other crews. It seemed that the crews that won awards today had basically booked a celebratory banquet here. Ying Yanluo was not familiar with them, so she took Zhao Ranran directly to the private room of their crew.
Director Feng was really happy today, because he really didn't expect that the Best Director trophy would fall on his shoulders. With two Best Actor and Actress awards and one Best Director award, their crew is having a great time today!
Fan Ruoting also pulled Ying Yanluo over to toast.
They first paid tribute to Director Feng, and then to Wu Youyan.
Ying Yanluo said: "Teacher Wu, congratulations."
Wu Youyan held the wine glass and said, "Thank you."
"I should also congratulate you. Although you didn't win the award, being nominated is also a recognition of you," said Wu Youyan.
Ying Yanluo: "Thank you, Teacher Wu."
After Ying Yanluo finished toasting, some staff came over to toast her. They meant well and she felt embarrassed to refuse. Fortunately, it was fruit wine and she only took a few small sips so it wasn't intoxicating.
Everyone drank a lot today and got drunk quickly, so the dinner ended quite early.
When they were leaving, Ying Yanluo looked at Zhao Ranran and asked, "Do I smell like alcohol? Do I look drunk?"
Zhao Ranran looked at the two faint blushes on her cheeks, her eyes were soft and watery, and she subconsciously said, "The smell of alcohol is not strong, but it is quite intoxicating."
Ying Yanluo let out an “ah” sound.
Zhao Ranran said with a giggle: "She's so beautiful that it's intoxicating."
Ying Yanluo was stunned and asked a little embarrassedly, "Why are you so sweet now?"
Zhao Ranran became even happier.
"Teacher Ying?" Suddenly someone called him from behind.
Ying Yanluo and the others stopped and looked over subconsciously.
It was a middle-aged man in a suit. He looked unfamiliar. Ying Yanluo had no impression of him, but he called her, so he obviously knew her. Zhao Ranran next to him suddenly whispered, "It's screenwriter Chen Jianlin, the one who adapted Evening Breeze."
Ying Yanluo was surprised, "How did you know?"
Zhao Ranran raised her chin slightly with pride and said, "I'm doing my homework." Mainly because she had been playing with senior assistants like Ah Xiu every day during her time on the crew. Ah Xiu and the others knew that she was not proficient in the business, so they kindly gave her a few small lessons. She then did her homework based on the relationships with the people around her.
Ying Yanluo gave her an admiring look.
When she looked at screenwriter Chen, she thought of what Xi had said to her before. She did not show any sign on her face, but politely called him "Teacher Chen" when he approached.
Chen Jianlin glanced at Ying Yanluo's face for a few times, and said with a smile: "I have always heard of Teacher Ying's name. She is talented and beautiful. Today, I saw her and she is indeed worthy of her reputation."
It was also a compliment, but she didn't like it coming out of his mouth, and his gaze also made her feel uncomfortable. She said in a calm voice, "Teacher Chen is praising me."
Chen Jianlin added: "Oh, Mr. Xiaoying, I heard that you were nominated for the Best Screenwriter. I didn't have time to congratulate you."
Ying Yanluo: "Thank you, Teacher Chen."
"Teacher Ying, would you like to come to our private room and sit down? I'll introduce you to some teachers."
The slightly polite expression on Zhao Ranran's face disappeared in an instant.
This was not the first time Ying Yanluo had entered this circle, so she probably understood his intention a little, and she politely declined, "Thank you, Teacher Chen, for your kindness, but it's getting late, so I won't bother you."
Chen Jianlin wanted to continue persuading him when suddenly a male voice came from behind.
"Teacher Ying?"
Ying Yanluo looked over and saw that it was Wu Youyan and his agent.
"Teacher Ying, you haven't left yet. It's a coincidence that Director Feng said he wanted to talk to you." Wu Youyan said again.
Director Feng was so drunk that he was afraid that he was on his way home. He didn't know what to talk to her about. She also understood what Wu Youyan meant, so she said, "Okay, I'll be right over." Then she said to Chen Jianlin, "Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, I'll go over first."
How could he not see what kind of person Chen Jianlin was? Such an excuse was obvious, but the person who said this was Wu Youyan, the winner of the best actor award who was in great glory today. He was afraid that his future development would soar, so he naturally would not reveal anything at this time, so he said: "Well, I'll introduce you to you later when there is a chance."
Ying Yanluo did not agree, but just smiled, then took Zhao Ranran to Wu Youyan and the others. She greeted Wu Youyan's agent, and then they got into the elevator together. After the elevator door closed, she said to him.
"Teacher Wu, thank you for what happened just now."
Wu Youyan's expression was gentle, "You're welcome."
"Why didn't Teacher Wu leave?"
"When I came out, I ran into a director I had worked with before and we chatted for a while."
Ying Yanluo nodded.
The basement floor was soon reached.
They went out through the tunnel.
"Does Teacher Ying drive?" Wu Youyan asked.
His agent glanced at him but said nothing.
Ying Yanluo said: "I didn't drive, but someone came to pick me up."
As soon as he spoke, Ying Yanluo saw the familiar car parked not far away, and who else could be standing next to the car if not Su Weichu
Ying Yanluo subconsciously waved to him, and Wu Youyan said, "My husband has already arrived, so I'll go over first."
Wu Youyan glanced at the man standing next to the car, and his intuition told him that he was a very outstanding and successful man. He felt vaguely familiar with him, but he couldn't remember it at the moment. He said, "Okay, then drive slowly on the road."
Ying Yanluo nodded and walked towards Su Weichu.
