My Hidden Wife is Sweet - Chapter 695
Chapter 695: The Legendary Movie Queen (5)
Gu Weiwei took the trophy and gave a short speech, afterwards she bowed and left the stage.
Ling Yan clapped her hands with a smile, when she saw her winning the Best Newcomer Award. There was only one award for each person at such a film festival.
Therefore, if she won the Best Newcomer Award, she would definitely not be able to get the next award.
Which means that she was no longer a threat to her.
When Gu Weiwei was receiving the award on stage, the WeChat group for Sleepless exploded.
Fu Shiyi: [Why is it this award, why is it just this one, Bach must be blind!]
Jolin also heard the news and drank a cup of bitter coffee in a rage.
[What the hell is going on? We came all the way here just for this award, isn’t this Lugano Film Festival too tricky?]
According to the usual rules of the International Film Festival, very few people would win two awards at one film festival.
If she won the Best Newcomer Award, she would not get the Best Director Award, and she would also not even get the Best Actress Award.
The award for Dream of a Long Life had not been announced yet, so they would not be the winners tonight.
They must have bribed the judges, otherwise he would not have been so blind.
Song Yu: [Why is it just the Best Newcomer Award?]
According to his estimation, it was either the Best Director Award or the Best Actress Award.
He had never expected that she would only get the Best Newcomer Award.
Although this was indeed the first movie directed by Mu Weiwei, it was obviously better than those submitted by the other top directors.
No matter what, it should not just be the Best Newcomer Award.
Fu Shiyi rapidly texted a reply.
[I want to report the judging panel! Now!]
Qiu Ling: [That is so unfair.]
Jolin: [Damn it, if we only get the Best Newcomer Award, the Best Actress Award will go to Dream of a Long Life 2. What kind of judging mechanism is that?]
…
Gu Weiwei returned to her seat and checked her phone, only to find that everyone in the group was annoyed.
She thought for a while and replied.
[You are not happy that I won the award, what kind of attitude is that?]
Fu Shiyi: [This award is not good enough for us.]
If not for Dream of a Long Life 2, they would have won.
But if she lost to Dream of a Long Life 2, he would not be able to die in peace.
Ling Yan had stolen the limelight on the red carpet, and now she was pushing them down at the awards ceremony. He felt like vomiting blood.
Gu Weiwei, on the other hand, was calmer than them. [If we don’t get the chance at the Lugano Film Festival, we will get the chance at the other festivals too, what are you in a hurry for?]
Sleepless had announced that this would be the first of several A film festivals later this year.
Whilst she was chatting in the WeChat group, the ceremony continued.
After the Best Newcomer Award, the Fibisi Award was given out.
It was not a film festival award, but an award given by the International Film Critics Association.
The guest presenter was from the International Film Critics Association and after a short speech, he opened the card and announced the winner of the film.
“The winner of the Fibisi Award is… James of Dream of a Long Life 2!”
The moment the name was announced, Director James and the Assistant Director of Dream of a Long Life 2 looked at each other in astonishment.
Although the Fibisi Award was not bad, it was not as high profile as the Best Director Award.
They had won the Fibisi Award, which meant that they were not going to win the Best Director Award.
Ke Wei thought for a while and whispered, “Don’t worry, the Best Actress Award has not been announced yet.”
Without Mu Weiwei as a competitor, the Movie Queen would be Ling Yan of Dream of a Long Life 2.
