“Hahaha, hello everyone, I’m Kirk. It’s my great honor to be here to present awards to the trendsetters in the film industry~” Director Kirk stood on the stage with a smile on his face. Teng Shu was also looking at this famous director who had long retired from the industry. It was obvious that the other party was very respected. As soon as he came on stage, flash lights burst out in a circle.

Teng Shu smacked his lips. This was status. No wonder so many people were fighting for a status. Sometimes it was really good to have a high status.

At this time, clips of these four award-winning movies appeared on the screen, and Teng Shu also took a look at them very considerately. The first one was “Innings 743”. Teng Shu took a look and found that the editing this time was still very selective, and basically picked out some shots that looked pretty good.

“I just wonder if these shots will be all the highlights of this movie.” Teng Shu looked at the screen in front of him, thinking with some amusement.

Although the League Film Festival is the most valuable and relatively fair film festival in the Pokémon League, as long as there are people, it is difficult to avoid PY transactions and other human relationships.

So sometimes there are some movies that are not outstanding in themselves, and they themselves know that they have no chance of winning any awards at film festivals, but they just get a nomination, and as long as they are nominated, they can brag about it.

For example, when a famous bad sci-fi movie goes out and brags to people who don’t know the truth, saying “This movie was once nominated for the Best Science Fiction Film. Its competitors at the time were “Little Big Women” and “Star Trek”. What a pity that a masterpiece can’t beat a masterpiece”, isn’t that also a kind of capital?
In Teng Shu’s opinion, Game 743 has a bit of this meaning. Although Teng Shu has not seen it yet, just looking at the ratings, Teng Shu feels that it is not very good.

“Wow, boss, I didn’t expect that this 743 game could be made. It’s too outrageous. The plot is very stiff and the characters are portrayed very strangely.” Zoroark sat next to Teng Shu and complained crazily, and Damu beside him nodded in agreement.

Teng Shu’s mouth twitched.

“You’ve all seen it?” Teng Shu couldn’t hold it in any longer. What the hell? Why have you all seen it, but I’m the only one who hasn’t?
“I’ve seen it too, boss. The plot of Bureau 743 is really not that good, and the special effects are terrible. I guess they hired a first-class special effects team to save money.” Dam said softly. Teng Shu thought about the strange bird he had seen before, and had to agree that Dam was right. The bird did look very strange.

“The winner of the Best Screenplay award this time is also the investor of my comeback film, and he is Director Teng Shu!” Director Kirk’s voice pulled Teng Shu back, and everyone in the venue was stunned for a moment, the air was quiet for a few seconds, and then there was a huge applause and suppressed discussions.

Teng Shu was a little bit amused, but the camera was pulled over, so he could only straighten his clothes, stand up, and go upstairs to receive the award.

However, at this moment, most people in the venue were still paying attention to Director Kirk. After all, this senior was a veteran and very famous. He had good abilities and had made many excellent films. He was a master director in suspense films. Many film companies wanted to invite the old man to act in movies, but he declined.

Unexpectedly, the old man is going to make a comeback? And it’s invested by director Teng Shu?
“Senior Kirk, what you said will be on the headlines tomorrow.” Teng Shu said with a smile, holding the trophy in his hand.

This trophy is made of crystal, but crystal is not very valuable. The reputation value of this thing is greater than its actual value, but Teng Shu doesn’t care about its actual value.

“Hahaha, Teng Shu, just don’t blame me for stealing your headlines~” The old man laughed heartily. Teng Shu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then he gave a serious speech of thanks for the acceptance, and then left the room amid the discussions in the audience.

The film festival then handed out several awards one after another, but Teng Shu didn’t care much about most of them. He cared more about Best Director, Best Film, and Best Actor.

After all, although Dam successfully became a top star under Teng Shu’s Sherlock Holmes, if he wants to be called the movie emperor in a fair and justifiable way, he still needs the best actor award.

“Then next is the award for Best Actor. Let us welcome President Leiden to present the award!” Soon, it was the award that Teng Shu was more concerned about. Dam, who had been very casual at the side, actually sat up straight, which made Teng Shu want to laugh.

“The nominees for this year’s Best Actor are Dam in Buried Alive, Fu Rong in Bureau 743, Rocco in Legend of Mir , and Teng Kong Wanli in the feature film!” President Leiden was a straightforward person. He just said the names directly without any intention of creating suspense, but Teng Shu still liked this kind of personality.

This kind of personality is better than the kind that takes several minutes to say a word.

“No doubt 743 is a runner-up. If he can win the Best Actor award like this, then the fairness of this film festival will become a joke.” Teng Shu shook his head. There was no doubt that 743 was a runner-up. The other party was just trying to gain fame.

“I’m the legendary Rocco. I know him. He’s my college classmate and his acting skills are very good.” Dam was a little nervous. He clenched his hands as he watched the wonderful scenes of the male protagonists playing on the screen.

Teng Shu glanced at the screen. Teng Shu had also seen I Am Legend. Although he was busy filming movies and company affairs recently, Teng Shu would also watch movies in his spare time. This I Am Legend is a classic story of a rookie trainer who becomes a champion step by step, but this time the champion is the league champion, which is a bit outrageous.

But this movie is a biographical film, and it is said that the prototype is Emperor Dan, so it is not too outrageous.

“The feature film is quite interesting, although the name is a bit strange.” Zoroark also added that since it followed Teng Shu as a secretary, it has gradually come into contact with these movies, and has watched quite a few movies now.

Teng Shu seemed to be thinking about something. Although there was one movie that was a runner-up, the other two were still quite competitive. However, as the screens were fixed, Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Because what appeared on the screen was the scene of Dam being buried alive, screaming in despair, then feeling relieved, breathing a sigh of relief, and facing death calmly.

“The winner is Dam, the leading actor in Buried Alive! A movie with only one leading actor, but he completely won the hearts of other audiences and buried the audience alive!” As the presenter spoke, Dam walked up happily, and Teng Shu also applauded from behind.

Dam’s acting is really good. This man who was suppressed and almost crushed by life in the past finally made it through and has come to where he is today. Teng Shu looks at Dam and feels quite emotional inside.

It is said that it was Teng Shu who gave Damm the opportunity to take off, but the fundamental reason was Damm’s unwillingness to give up and his persistence. If it were not for Damm’s persistence and the training of his acting skills, he would not have been able to wait for this opportunity.

However, Teng Shu’s choice of Damu as the leading actor was indeed an important reason for Damu to stand out.

“It’s not easy for Damu either.” Looking at Damu standing on the stage, his eyes red with excitement, and constantly thanking him, Teng Shu shook his head. It was really not easy for Damu, and Zoroark on the side also clapped happily.

Then came the awards for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, but Teng Shu was not very concerned about these awards, after all, he was not nominated for any of them. Finally, it was the Best Director award, and Teng Shu sat up straight.

If he can win the Best Director award, Teng Shu will be able to avoid being attacked by cyber trolls for not having any actual honors. Otherwise, it will be really troublesome.

As for the person presenting the award this time, Teng Shu was a little surprised.

“Me? I’m presenting the awards?” Teng Shu was a little confused, and the people around him were also confused. However, after learning that this idea was the original award presenter Yin Carrie, everyone was relieved.

Yin Carrey is well-known for his love of pranks and is an excellent comedian. However, when Teng Shu went on stage, he still felt a little emotional when he looked at the bearded comedian in front of him.

Famous comedians seem to be prone to depression. This is true for the mime master and Yin Carrie. Although they are smiling, Teng Shu can see a hint of fatigue in their eyes.

“I’m very grateful to be able to come up and present the award this time. Although I previously thought that I just needed to sit down there with my heart pounding.” Teng Shu smiled and took out the envelope containing the Best Director award.

Teng Shu was in a very relaxed mood, he was not very nervous. Although there were many excellent movies among the competitors this time, the envelopes were all there. It was useless for Teng Shu to be nervous. He simply gave up being nervous and chose to lie down.

The screen began to play highlights of the nominated films. Teng Shu directly opened the envelope and took a look at the names on it.

“Then, I declare that the winner of this year’s Best Film Director award goes to…” Teng Shu stretched out his voice, and the crowd below instantly became much quieter, with people listening attentively.

“The winner of this year’s Best Film Director award is Teng Shu, the director of Buried Alive!” Teng Shu said with a smile, and there was a burst of laughter from the audience. Yin Carrey stood by and applauded.

Before Teng Shu went down, he shook hands with Yin Kairui and whispered something. Yin Kairui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

After winning the Best Director award, Teng Shu was no longer so obsessed with the Best Picture award. Moreover, according to an unwritten rule of the film festival, winners of the Best Director award generally would not win the Best Picture award.

And in fact, it is true

“As expected, it’s this one again.” Teng Shu looked at the best film with a look of understanding. When he saw the movie title “Earthquake” in this nomination, Teng Shu knew that he had basically no chance.

So after he went down, he started writing the script, a simple story summary. This was what Teng Shu thought of when he just saw Yin Carrey. Originally, he planned to shoot Manchester by the Sea, but when he saw Yin Carrey, Teng Shu had some other ideas.

“After all, it’s the main theme, and it’s indeed filmed very well.” Zoroark quite agrees. The prototype of this movie is a natural disaster in the history of the Pokémon League, so when it is released, as long as it is not particularly bad, it will basically win.

Teng Shu remained noncommittal. He had also seen it and thought that the film was indeed very touching. It was not a group portrait, but started from a small person, seeing the big picture from the small, which made people cry. As a whole, there was nothing abrupt or forced in the logic, and it was very smooth.

Teng Shu could understand why he won the Best Film award, and this time he also came to the film festival with a shopping cart to purchase goods, which was almost enough.

After leaving the film festival, Teng Shu yawned. This film festival was quite interesting, but it lasted too long. And if Teng Shu hadn’t been a fast runner, he would have been dragged to attend the second show.

“Director Teng Shu.” Just after leaving the venue, Teng Shu saw Yin Kairui. At this moment, Yin Kairui in front of Teng Shu was no longer the smiling face he had in the venue. Instead, he looked a little tired, a little bored, and a little indifferent.

“Yin Kairui, I’m glad you can come.” Teng Shu said while looking at Yin Kairui with a smile, but Yin Kairui shook his head. He pinched his eyebrows with a tired look, then looked at Teng Shu with some apology in his eyes.

“I’m really sorry, Director Teng Shu, I really have no interest in taking on any movies at the moment.” Yin Carrie smiled bitterly.

Teng Shu didn’t say anything, but opened the tablet and showed it to Yin Kairui. Yin Kairui was a little dissatisfied at first and he refused it, but Teng Shu still gave it to him. However, Yin Kairui decided to take a look anyway – out of politeness.

And when he saw this, Yin Carrie paused.

“Truman”

It was a strange name, but it aroused some interest in Yin Carrie. He planned to take a closer look at it, just for one minute.

Yin Carrie read more and more attentively. As an excellent actor, Yin Carrie could naturally tell whether a script was good or bad. He originally rejected Teng Shu because he felt that he was not suitable for Teng Shu’s horror film style, but he did not expect Teng Shu to come up with such a script.

Looking at the guy named Truman in the movie, Yin Carrie suddenly had a strong sense of involvement.

“Boss, are you going to invite Mr. Yin Carrey to star in your movie?” Zoroark was a little curious. Teng Shu nodded. He did plan to invite Yin Carrey to star in the movie “The Truman Show”.

“Director Teng Shu, can I…can I act in it?” Yin Carrie looked at Teng Shu excitedly, and Teng Shu nodded seriously. He prepared this movie specially for this excellent comedy actor.

Now it seems that the preparations are pretty good. (End of this chapter)
