Chapter 146 Best Screenwriter

Xu Rui hadn't even decided on the album idea, and the six-day film festival passed in the blink of an eye. On the last day, he and Yan Ran went together to attend the film festival awards ceremony.

Du Xiao went to the Film and Television Academy to pick up a few leading actors, and then went with the crew.

On the way, Xu Rui asked curiously: "How is it, have you prepared your acceptance speech after so many days?"

Yan Ran said honestly: "Although I don't dare to hold too high hopes, I still thought about it. I'm afraid that when I really have the opportunity to go on stage to receive the award, I will forget everything when I get nervous."

Xu Rui smiled and said: "Don't worry, if your brain is blank at that time, I will teach you a trick."

"What trick?"

"Thank everyone you remember!"

"You are smart!" Yan Ran rolled her eyes at him, "Why didn't the film festival invite you to sing a song."

"You have no vision." Xu Rui said shamelessly.

The closing ceremony and awards ceremony were in the evening. Before the closing ceremony, they went to listen to an exchange meeting and then went to the awards ceremony venue.

Although the independent film festival also had a red carpet segment, there were not many popular stars, and Xu Rui and Yan Ran did not prepare in advance, so they just walked in.

Luo Jingchuan and Pang Bo were also in the venue at the moment. Seeing them, Pang Bo whispered, "Lao Qin and the others went to see it these two days and thought it was very good. Did you ask what award the jury gave them?"

Luo Jingchuan shook his head: "I didn't ask specifically. I heard it seemed to be one of the best debut and best screenwriter."

Pang Bo whispered: "It's a bit stingy. I think it's okay to take the Best Mandarin Film. If it's not given to Yan Ran, it should be given to Wu Donglin. The qualifications of the two are a bit different."

Luo Jingchuan glanced around and said calmly: "It's something you know very well. It's not your first day in this circle."

Pang Bo explained: "So I said it was stingy. If you don't give the Best Mandarin Film, you can give both the Best Debut and Best Screenwriter. You can choose one of the two."

Luo Jingchuan glanced at him: "It's fair. The film festival is not an annual award ceremony. It's rare for a film to win multiple awards."

"I know, I'm just complaining." Pang Bo didn't say anything else.

Xu Rui was also asking Yan Ran at this time: "How many awards can a film win?"

Yan Ran smiled and said: "There are not many awards, one award for each film. If I have to guess, I think we will win the Best Screenwriter Award because I believe in you!"

Xu Rui was stunned: "I just told a story. Isn't the screenwriter yourself? What does it have to do with me?"

"When you went to see the movie, didn't you see your name written in the screenwriter column? How could this happen!" Yan Ran complained in surprise.

Xu Rui asked: "Why write my name?"

"I like you in my movie, no!" Yan Ran snorted, "And the details of the story you told are very complete. Although I made some changes, they were not many. There is no problem at all to say that you are the screenwriter!"

Xu Rui sighed: "Okay, okay, I know you can't do without me everywhere."

"That's not what I mean. Just add more drama to yourself!" Yan Ran smiled and held his hand. Winning the award is really not important to her. What is important is the process of her filming this film. That is the process of realizing her dream and precious memories.

After a while, Wang Jinghan, Zou Xianzheng, several leading actors, and the main crew members arrived with Du Xiao, and everyone was very excited.

After walking the red carpet outside, the award ceremony finally began.

There were many people at the scene, but compared with the grand occasions of the world's three major film festivals, the whole process was still a bit shabby, and the award process went very quickly.

Not long after, when the host announced the "Best Screenwriter", the name of "The Night the Comet Came" was called out.

Winning the award early means that you will not be eligible for subsequent awards. Xu Rui stood up and hugged the happy Yan Ran, watching her go on stage, but he was actually not very happy. The jury had no vision!

In the front row, a middle-aged man smiled and clapped. The people around him laughed and said, "Old Wu, it seems that you have secured the Best Mandarin Film."

Wu Donglin pretended to be modest and said, "It's too early to say that, too early."

"I watched this movie, it's very good, it's one of the few excellent Mandarin films in this independent film festival. The Best Mandarin Film is basically between it and your "Information Cocoon."

Hearing this, Wu Donglin showed a little dissatisfaction on his face, and smiled and said, "After all, he is a young director, and he still needs to polish the details. Many problems cannot be covered up by a good script."

"Yes, the future is promising."

"I hope it won't be a flash in the pan." Wu Donglin said, feeling that this was a bit explicit, and added, "Chinese-language films need these new forces."

After rounding off the sentence, the previous words no longer have much sarcasm.

Wu Donglin was actually unhappy. The expectations for Yan Ran and "The Night the Comet Comes" on the Internet these days are much higher than him and his "Information Cocoon". Although he should have won the film festival, it is bound to be compared by netizens after it is broadcast.

Controversy is a good thing. With controversy, there will be traffic and money to be made. But Wu Donglin is a proud person. He thinks that creating controversy should also be a somewhat important opponent. If he creates controversy and hypes it up with a director like Luo Jingchuan, he is quite happy. In his opinion, Yan Ran is just an internet celebrity rookie director. Competing with her is cheap!

To sum up, if you win, you won't make money, but if you lose, you will lose a lot!

Xu Rui didn't know Wu Donglin, and didn't know that he had so many thoughts, otherwise he would definitely let Li Chuanping bite him!

Yan Ran stood on the stage with a bright smile, not showing any disappointment for only winning the "Screenwriter Award": "I'm very happy to win the award. My boyfriend told me before I came here that if you don't know what to say on stage, just thank everyone you can think of!"

The audience laughed, and Xu Rui was surprised. Can this secret be told to others casually, you little traitor!

Yan Ran was looking at him on the stage and smiled: "So the first person I want to thank is my boyfriend Xu Rui, because he told me the story of this movie. Although I made some adaptations, I think he is the screenwriter of this movie. Without him, there would be no movie, and naturally there would be no award.

And I have to thank my crew team for being able to make this story into a movie, thank them for their hard work, and thank the outstanding actors from my alma mater who are now officially in the entertainment industry. Although the name of the award is "Best Screenwriter", it comes from the joint efforts of the entire team.

Here I have a small prospect to say to my crew team. We won this award for the first time we worked together. If we have the opportunity to continue working together in the future, I think we can work hard to win a bigger one together.

By the way, I also want to thank the jury for recognizing our efforts. Thank you everyone."

Yan Ran smiled and finished her acceptance speech, and left the stage calmly amid applause and returned to her seat.

Xu Rui waited for her to sit down, leaned over and smiled softly: "Thank the jury at the end?"

Yan Ran covered her mouth with her hand: "Shh! I tell you, I almost forgot."
