Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Yan Hui finally gave up using English and delivered her acceptance speech in her native language.

“Thank you to the jury, thank you! I am Yan Hui, a director from China. “Silent” is my first short film. I am very happy and honored to receive such a great honor.

Thank you to my mother who has always supported me, and thank you to Director Gao You for supporting this film. Thank you to the twins Lu Xue and Lu Shuang, my two most tacit partners. Thank you again!" Yan Hui said and bowed.

The audience applauded to encourage the young filmmaker.

The twins expressed their gratitude in a concise manner as usual.

In the following award ceremonies, the names of Chinese filmmakers were not announced.

Liang Jiaying couldn't help but feel a little nervous, because the further back in time, the bigger the prize would be.

Even Zhou Can, who was usually calm, became nervous.

Gao You still looked calm, but only she knew what was going on in her heart.

"The winner of the Grand Jury Prize is 'General Mulan' by Gao You, a director from China. Congratulations to her." The award presenter was a very famous local actress. She pronounced Gao You's name very seriously and very standardly.

There was warm applause from the audience for this young filmmaker.

Nowadays, many filmmakers in the audience already know the name Gao You and her works. She is from China and is an excellent director who has produced many excellent works.

Liang Jiaying stood up excitedly and hugged Gao You tightly.

"Congratulations, Director Gao!" Leung Ka Ying's voice was a little choked.

Many Chinese filmmakers who knew Gao You also felt proud and applauded him loudly.

Unprecedented!

No Chinese director has ever won this award. Although it is not the most important gold award in the main competition unit, it is the second largest award after the gold award.

Director Gao You is still very young, not even 22 years old.

The future is unlimited!

Gao You left Liang Jiaying's arms, took a few deep breaths, hugged Zhou Can who was waiting, and hugged Tong Li, Yu Lishu and others one by one, and walked up to the podium with everyone.

The award presenter, Amartya, presented the medal to Gao You with a smile on his face.

"I've read your Cold Dew, and I also like General Mulan." Amadiya said to Gao You in English.

"Thank you." Gao You and Amadea hugged each other gently.

"I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate with each other." Amadiya patted Gao You on the back and encouraged her.

"There must be a chance." Gao You said.

Amartya has previously won the Best Actress Award for Simona and is one of the most famous actors in the country.

It is naturally a great honor to be able to work with her.

Gao You finished chatting with her before giving his acceptance speech: "First of all, I have to thank the jury! I came to Simona twice and they encouraged me both times."

"General Mulan is a representative figure of Chinese heroes and a role model for our generation.

One of the original intentions of making this film was to be able to show her bravery and fearlessness in the film.

I hope this movie can bring some strength to women today.

I would also like to thank Shengxiong Pictures, Yin Shengan, and our producer Liang Jiaying. I would also like to thank our best photographer Zhou Can, the most amazing teacher Qi Fengshou, and all the actors and staff in front of and behind the scenes for their contributions to this film. Thank you. "Gao You bowed to express his gratitude.

There was warm applause from the audience.

Amartya also applauded.

Gao You gestured to Zhou Can, Tong Li and the others to say a few words as well.

Zhou Can just said thank you in Mandarin and that was it.

Tong Li did speak a few words in fluent English, especially thanking director Gao You for choosing her to play Sister Lan.

The final grand prize at the awards ceremony was given to a film from the country.

However, it was a pleasant surprise that Gao You won the Jury Grand Prize this time, and everyone was very satisfied.

Leung Ka-ying was even calculating in her mind how to bargain with the film producers.

It will definitely sell for a good price this time!

The box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian countries will not be bad!

Since they returned to the hotel, Gao You's phone has never been silent.

Li Shengxiong called first and congratulated Gao You.

She was discussing business abroad and had no time difference. When she heard her assistant say Gao You had won the award, she called in person to congratulate him.

In addition to being happy for Gao You, it also means that her investment will have a high return again.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Gao You hung up the phone and received a call from Director Xu.

She had just come out of the set and called to congratulate me when she received the news.

"Thank you, Director Xu." Gao You thanked.

Then some colleagues and teachers called to congratulate Gao You.

Gao You took down the battery to charge it after twelve o'clock and went to bed.

The next day, Leung Ka-ying arranged interviews with several media outlets for Gao You and other actors. In addition to local media, there were also interviews from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan and other regions and countries.

The film is about to premiere in Hong Kong, and now that it has won a big award, it is natural to launch a publicity campaign to build momentum for its future release in other regions.

After "General Mulan" won the award this time, her value has skyrocketed.

Leung Ka-ying bargained with many film producers several times and finally settled on a good price.

Teacher Mo also reaped great rewards. After "Silent Separation" won the Gold Award for Short Film, the adaptation rights doubled.

Gao You paid most of the money for the production of this short film, so she also got a share of the money.

After completing the promotion here, Gao You brought the crew back to Hong Kong to continue the promotional work.

In mid-July, "Mulan General" held its grand premiere.

Gao You specially invited Liu Yue'e, Gao Ping and Gao Shuang to come. In addition to letting them attend the premiere, he also let them come to Hong Kong to have fun and relax.

In the past few years, Liu Yue'e and the other two have been busy and have never had a good vacation to relax.

"Mom, have fun and buy whatever you want." Gao You gave Gao Shuang the credit card that Shengxiong Pictures had issued for her, so that they could enjoy shopping.

"I want to buy an air conditioner. Can I buy it?" Liu Yue'e asked, looking at the shopping card.

Now her income is enough to afford an air conditioner.

Two months ago, with the help of her little daughter, she bought a small courtyard house in Beijing, which has been fully renovated. She took this opportunity to buy some furniture and appliances.

"Sure." Gao You bought himself a camera and a video recorder, as well as several newest computers, which could be used by the company and Xiaofei.

Gao You specially invited the driver Uncle Li to take Liu Yue'e and the others to have a good time in Hong Kong for a few days.

She is also busy with publicity work.

Shengxiong Films and Leung Ka-ying have arranged a number of promotional activities, such as appearing on TV shows, interview programs, newspaper interviews, and photo shoots for film magazines and fashion magazines.

Gao You is now the most famous and popular person in the crew, so all the publicity falls on her.

Tong Li, Yu Lishu and Guan Liping also participated in many promotional activities together, and their fame in Hong Kong soared.
