The Asian Film Academy Awards ceremony was co-hosted by Kim Wei of the Film Channel and Jo Jae-hyun of South Korea. After some polite remarks, the two invited Kim Dong-ho, chairman of the Busan Film Festival, to the stage without a stage. He was the head of the South Korean side of the awards ceremony. After Kim Dong-ho gave a brief speech, he received a summary statement from the Executive Committee Chairman Amaba, and then the awards ceremony officially began.

The first award was the Lifetime Achievement Award. As a guest, Hou Hsiao-hsien awarded the award to Korean director Lin Quanze. When Lin Quanze walked onto the stage and won the trophy from Hou Hsiao-hsien, everyone present stood up and gave their own applause.

Lin Kwon-ze is a national director of South Korea. He has made more than 100 movies in the past few decades. In 2002, "Drunk Painting Fairy" won him the best director of the Cannes Film Festival and created the history of Korean films. In addition to his director's works, Lin Kwon-ze was also the initiator and leader of the "Bald Movement" in 1998. At that time, as a respected elder, he reached the forefront of protests and led the backbone of South Korea's filmmakers to fight against Hollywood's invasion of South Korea.

Next, the award was awarded. The award guest Jun Ji-hyun walked out of the backstage in a white long dress. After she came on stage, she gave a passionate speech and introduced the shortlist: "Let's take a look at the shortlisted actors, who are: Chen Daoming, "Three Fools", Wu Zitao, "Father and Son", Bian Hee-bong, "Hanjiang Monster", "Tibe Shinichi, "Eternal Three-Cho Mind Sunset", and Kagawa Teruyuki."

Zhang Ran turned to Chen Daoming and said, "I think you have great hope for this award!"

Chen Daoming has been acting for half a lifetime and has taken the awards very lightly. If Zhang Ran hadn't called him to come, he wouldn't have come at all. He said lightly: "Actually, an award doesn't mean anything. At most, it means that others will summarize it for you for a period of time and do a good job!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said, "It's so pretentious. I'll give you 99 points. The one you deducted is because you're afraid you're proud!"

Chen Daoming looked stern and pretended to be angry and said, "Boy, what did you say?"

Jia Niaoliang was cheering next to him, and only Teacher Zhang dared to say this. If others said this, Chen Daoming would definitely turn against him.

He grinned and pointed at the stage and said, "It's nothing, the prize is drawn, the prize is drawn!"

Sure enough, Jun Ji-hyun on the stage opened the award list in his hand and chanted loudly: "Chen Daoming, "Three Fools."

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and the Chinese filmmakers present were very excited.

Jia Niaoliang jumped up and said excitedly: "Teacher Chen, congratulations on winning the prize!"

Zhang Ran slapped Jia Niaoliang in the face: "What are you shouting? Teacher Chen deserves the award!" Then he said to Chen Daoming, "Don't organize it, it's so handsome. Could it be that you still want to seduce a Korean girl? Come on stage quickly, by the way, don't forget to thank me!"

Chen Daoming glared at Zhang Ran, cursed the bad guy in his heart, and then stepped onto the stage.

After taking the trophy from Jeon Ji-hyun, Chen Daoming said calmly: "Thank you for awarding this award to me. Actually, like many actors, I don't want to repeat myself and long for a director to break myself. However, it is difficult for us to break me. They have a fixed recognition of me and don't want to break me, so I especially hope to work with young directors. Unfortunately, young directors often think that I am a senior and are unwilling to communicate with me even if they work together. Only Zhang Ran is an exception. He dares to slap the table with me and dares to quarrel with me. It is precisely because of Zhang Ran that he has this role and has this award. So, thank you Zhang Ran! Those words just now were what Zhang Ran asked me to say, so my task was completed! Thank you everyone!"

The audience burst into laughter.

When Chen Daoming came down from the stage, Zhang Ran directly snatched the trophy: "You take revenge on your own, as a punishment, I confiscate the trophy!"

After Chen Daoming won the Best Supporting Actor, "Three Fools" seemed to have run out of luck. The next best visual effects, best art guidance, and best photography all failed, which made Jia Niaoliang scold the judge for being incompetent.

Until the Best Screenwriter Award, everyone started to hold their breath again.

"The best original scripts are shortlisted, including "Three Fools", "The Life of Matsuko Despised", "The Color of Basati", Rakesh Omparakash Mehara, "Offside" Jafa Panasi, and Park Zan-yu, "The Kind Gold"..."

"The one who won the best script is Zhang Ran of "Three Fools"!"

Zhang Ran stood up with a smile of applause, hugged Jia Niaoliang and Chen Daoming, and then stepped onto the stage.

"Three Fools" had a very good box office in South Korea, and it caused a strong response after the movie was released. Therefore, when he heard "Three Fools" win the Best Screenwriter Award, the applause was particularly enthusiastic. It was not until Zhang Ran took over the trophy and walked to the microphone to prepare to speak, and the applause stopped temporarily.

Zhang Ran held the trophy and looked at the audience in the audience and said, "I'm very happy to be able to win this award. First of all, I would like to thank Qitan Bahart, the author of the novel "Five Points", for not having his novels. Secondly, I would like to thank all the colleagues in the crew of "Three Fools". Without your efforts, I would not be able to complete this movie. This trophy belongs not only to me, but also to you! Thank you, thank you everyone!"

The speech was very brief, but the response was very warm, and thunderous applause sounded again at the scene.

Next, after several awards were awarded, there were only four most important awards left for the Asian Film Academy Awards, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Film. Everyone present stared at the stage with their eyes lit up.

Liu Hua walked onto the stage and smiled and said a few opening remarks. The big screen behind him began to play the performance footage of the five actresses.

Zhou Xun, the heroine of "If Love", Kim Ya-kin, the heroine of "The Two of Us", Jeon Do-yeon, the heroine of "You Are My Destiny", Lee Young-ae, the heroine of "The Kind Gold", and Miki, the heroine of "The Life of Matsuko Despised", any actor has the ability to win awards, and this award should be the most suspenseful of all awards.

Zhang Ran looked at Chen Daoming and asked, "Who do you think is the actress queen?"

Chen Daoming said: "I just watched "If Love" and "We Both", I don't know."

Zhang Ran asked again: "Zhou Xun or Jin Yaqin, which one do you think is better?"

Chen Daoming said: "I think it's Jin Yaqin, which one do you choose?"

Zhang Ran nodded: "I voted for Jin Yaqin. In the movie, the old lady's eyes were bright and her voice was strong at the beginning; but when the old lady became sick, her whole body's energy was completely closed, and even her eyes became turbid. In that state, there were two people, and she really played the role alive!"

Sure enough, Andy Lau on the stage announced loudly: "The winner of the Best Actress is Jin Yaqin, "The Two of Us"!"

When Jin Yaqin was helping Ma Liwen to take over the trophy and delivered her acceptance speech, Zhang Ran said with some emotion: "Actually, we have many good actors, but unfortunately they have too few opportunities!"

Chen Daoming was also very impressed by Jin Yaqin's acting skills and said with emotion: "Yes, we have many good actors, you directors should give them more opportunities!"

When the award presenter of the Best Actor walked onto the stage, Jia Niaoliang's heart beat sharply and his breathing became a little rapid. Although he knew that he had almost no chance of winning the award, he was still full of desire for this award, looking forward to a miracle.

However, a miracle did not happen. Song Kanghao, the male lead in "Hanjiang Monster", defeated many powerful players and won the trophy of Best Actor.

Seeing that Jia Niaoliang was a little disappointed, Zhang Ran patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Your acting career has just begun. As long as you act well, you will definitely win awards in the future. But there is one thing you should pay attention to, you should pay attention to control when acting. You have a more casual personality and are prone to over-exercising acting. Not every director will stare at you like me and let you accept it. You have to learn to control yourself!"

Jia Niaoliang said with a smile: "Teacher Zhang, you also know that I have a very poor self-control. If I had no control over you, I would be particularly prone to exaggeration in acting, so you should ask me to film more in the future!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and spit out a word: "Get out!"

The award presenter for the Best Director was Lin Quanze, who had just won the Lifetime Achievement Award. After he spoke a few words on stage, five nominated videos began to be played on the big screen.

"Three Fools" Zhang Ran, "Hanjiang Monster" Bong Joon-ho, "The Life of Matsuko Despised", "The Color of Basati", Rakesh Omparakash Mehala, and Park Zan-woo, "The Kind Gold".

When Lin Quanze started to unpack the envelope, the live music turned into a burst of rapid drum beats, and the camera color turned to the five directors. On the big screen of the stage, the expressions of the five directors were divided into five frames and presented to the audience in real time.

Jang Ran and Park Chan-woo are the calmest, after all, they are the people who have won awards at the three major film festivals; Bong Joon-ho is more serious, Nakajima Takashima is also smiling, while Mehara is the most nervous, and her head is sweating.

When the drum beat reached, Lin Quanze finally said the winner's name: "Tehiro Nakajima of "The Life of Matsuko Despised!"

Takashi Nakajima also stood up and waved his fist hard, looking very excited. He didn't expect that he could defeat famous filmmakers such as Zhang Ran, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Park Chan-yu and win the Best Director Award, which was like a dream.

The audience was applauding, and Zhang Ran was applauding. He voted for Best Director for "The Life of Matsuko Despised". This movie has many novel aspects in the language of the movie, and it is reasonable to win the Best Director Award.

Now we can only have the final award, the Best Film Award, which is also the highest honor of the Asian Film Academy Award and a reflection of the comprehensive strength of a film.

The five shortlisted films are the Chinese film "Three Fools", the Korean film "Hanjiang Monster", the Japanese film "The Life of Matsuko Despised", the Indian film "The Color of Basati", and the Chinese Taiwan "The Best Time". None of the five films are the masterpieces that can be famous in film history, but the five films are all very excellent works, which are definitely worthy of the audience and their nomination qualifications.

Amid the anticipated eyes of everyone, the Chairman of the Executive Committee Amaba revealed the final suspense: "The Korean movie "Hanjiang Monster" won the best film at the first Asian Film Academy Awards!

Bong Joon-ho jumped up from the seat like a spring installed on his butt, raising his arms and shouting. He was too excited and didn't know how to express it, so he could only express his inner joy in this way.

The Korean audience stood up, cheering and screaming, as if they had won an Oscar; and the other filmmakers on the scene also stood up and gave their blessings and applause.

Chen Daoming looked at Zhang Ran and clapped, "Three Fools" only won two small prizes, which is a complete defeat. As the director and producer of the movie, what do you think now?"

Zhang Ran smiled brilliantly: "I am very happy. Although I lost, I won the Asian Film Academy Award!"
Chapter completed!
