Chapter 73 Have you seen that move of flying fairy from the sky?

“I am grateful to the College Student Film Festival and the college students for allowing me to win this award.”

"My current status is that I am still a college student and will not graduate until June this year."

Hearing this, applause broke out again, and many people suddenly realized.

Because Lin Yicheng was so successful before, many people subconsciously forgot the fact that he had not yet graduated.

"So, I think my winning the award this time is in line with the theme of the College Student Film Festival - filmed by college students, reviewed by college students." Almost everyone present understood the deep meaning of Lin Yicheng's words.

But no one could find any fault with him. He was a college student, made a movie, and then won an award from college students.

"So, once again, I would like to express my sincere thanks." Lin Yicheng bowed again.

"I have always said that I am just a latecomer in the film and television industry and I have a lot to learn. It is a great honor for me to compete on the same stage with so many seniors this time. And to receive the award makes me a little nervous."

Hearing this, there was laughter from the audience. Lin Yicheng's words sounded very normal, expressing his humble and nervous mentality as a young man.

However, if we consider what happened tonight, we can hear completely different meanings in these words, it all depends on how others understand them.

"Making movies has always been my dream. Today's trophy has illuminated my way forward and made my dream no longer out of reach. Instead, I can feel and touch it." Shaking the trophy in his hand, Lin Yicheng continued:
“Only by keeping in mind your original aspiration can you achieve your goal. This is my motto and I also give it to the college students present here. No matter what major you are studying now or what industry you will work in in the future.”

“Maybe each of us has too many differences, but dreams are equal. We can all have them. We are all dream chasers.”

“Don’t forget your dream. It can give you motivation when you are tired and make you feel warm when you are frustrated.”

"You still have to have dreams. If you work hard, maybe they will come true. Finally, thank you all again." After bowing again, Lin Yicheng walked towards the stage.

In this day and age, chicken soup is still very popular. Lin Yicheng's words drew prolonged applause from the audience.

……

Today's college students are all born in the 80s. For them, the word "dream" undoubtedly touches their hearts.

Never mind whether what Lin Yicheng said was useful or how long they would remember it.

But at least at this moment, he gained the recognition of all the college students.

It’s just because Lin Yicheng’s identity is the same as theirs, both are college students and both are dream chasers.

Now that Lin Yicheng has succeeded, he has also become their role model, inspiring them to achieve their own success.

After returning to his seat, Huang Bo couldn't help but take Lin Yicheng's trophy and looked at it over and over again in his hands.

"That's great." Huang Bo murmured in a low voice.

Hearing this, Lin Yicheng smiled and said, "You will have it in the future, too, and there will be more."

Although Huang Bo's acting career has changed, what remains unchanged is his desire for awards.

In his previous life, Huang Bo was able to win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

I should be able to get it in this life, right?
Lin Yicheng suddenly felt a little uncertain. If Huang Bo's fate changed in this life, he didn't know whether it would be good or bad for him.

However, Lin Yicheng will not do anything on purpose. Everyone has their own destiny. Who knows, after all these twists and turns, Huang Bo will work with Guan Hu again to star in "Bullfighting" and win the Best Actor award?

After all, Guan Hu can be said to be Huang Bo's benefactor. His debut work was Guan Hu's movie "Get on the Bus, Let's Go". He also filmed "Survival of Migrant Workers" with him. The two have a very close relationship.

……

Then, Xia Yu won the Most Popular Actor Award.

Lin Yicheng comforted Huang Bo a little, but Huang Bo had expected this and was not too disappointed. Besides, it was Xia Yu who defeated him.

This guy is a true example of someone who became famous at a young age.

He became the Venice Film Festival Best Actor at the age of 17, and went on to win a series of awards including the Golden Horse Film Award, the Golden Rooster Film Award, the Hundred Flowers Film Award, etc. It seemed like his life was on a roll.

Afterwards, as expected, Zhou Xun won the Most Popular Actress Award.

As soon as Zhou Xun came on stage and opened his mouth, Lin Yicheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

This lady's voice is so unique. You can't reach that level without twenty years of smoking. Compared with her petite figure, it's a pity that such a beautiful woman can actually speak.

Next, when it was time to present the trophy to Zhou Xun, some clever organizer came up with an idea. Instead of having the award presenter present the trophy, they did something else.

A beautiful angel hanging on a wire with two wings behind her slowly flew towards the stage from the back of the venue holding the trophy.

That's right, it flew over.

Since he had never paid attention to this college student film festival in his previous life, this was the first time that Lin Yicheng saw this kind of award ceremony.

One could not help but laugh.

Fortunately, both the broadcast camera and the audience's attention were focused on the female angel, and no one noticed Lin Yicheng.

"Whose idea was this? This is really..." Old Zhou, who considers himself knowledgeable, was a little speechless and didn't know how to describe it.

"Have you seen Zhou Xingchi's 'Forbidden City Bodyguard'? You must be familiar with Zhou Xingchi's 'Flying Fairy from the Sky' move. Isn't it similar in nature?" Lin Yicheng said in a low voice.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chenggong and Huang Bo both recalled the classic scene in which Zhou Xingchi transformed into a fairy and flew from the sky.

Looking up at the sky again, both of them couldn't bear to look at it.

Huang Bo, in particular, tried hard to hold back his laughter but failed, his teeth were showing.

……

This year's Beijing University Student Film Festival received more attention than previous years due to Lin Yicheng's participation.

With the live broadcast of CCTV Movie Channel and Beijing Satellite TV, everything that happened at the ceremony was clearly seen by countless viewers.

For a time, it caused quite a stir.

College students and many netizens launched an outcry against the film festival through blogs, forums, bulletin boards, and communication groups!
I feel unfair for Lin Yicheng, but I am also speaking up for myself!
This group of people may have experienced setbacks in society or have not been successful in their studies. In short, there are too many unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory aspects in their lives and studies.

This time, they saw their own shadows and experiences in Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng was disliked and suppressed by the film festival, so aren't they the same?

With the title of "Lost Generation", they had to endure strange looks from teachers, colleagues, seniors, and people around them.

Criticism, rebuke, and scolding, these things have always surrounded this group of people born in the 80s.

Can't hide, can't avoid.

They were angry that even a figure like Lin Yicheng, an outstanding representative among them, had suffered such a fate.

I am even more angry at myself for not being appreciated for my talent and not being understood by others...

Naturally, there were also objections from the media. A number of media outlets, represented by Beijing Youth Daily and NetEase News, criticized this college student film festival.

Especially the Southern Metropolis Daily, a media that has always been innovative and dared to speak out and even fire at various social issues, wrote the following headline on the front page:

"Is the College Student Film Festival a false pretense?"

The article wrote:
"Crazy Stone lost at the college student film festival, but a group of unknown films that the audience had never seen or heard of, and even films that had not been released, won awards."

"…If Crazy Stone didn't win an award, those studios and people in the industry who don't want to make progress will have more reasons to make movies that they want to make but the audience doesn't want to see!"

"They would say, look, no matter how good Crazy Stone is at the box office, it is not recognized by the awards!"

"They will find more excuses for their films not being well received in cinemas, thinking that it is not their fault but that there is something wrong with the audience's taste. After all, the awards have recognized them!"

"…As this situation occurs and evolves, there will inevitably be a group of people with lofty ideals who are hesitant and don't know what to do. After all, even if they can make a film that the audience likes, it will not be recognized by awards or the mainstream circle. If this is the case, then why should they make the effort to make it?"

"...and the domestic film market, which is just beginning to develop, will see more model plays! Will this lead to bad money driving out good money?"

"If the audience doesn't want to watch domestic films, they won't go to the cinema. If the audience doesn't go to the cinema, good domestic films will inevitably be affected and production will be reduced. In the end, the cinema screening halls will be occupied by model operas and even some bad films."

"...Under this vicious cycle, cinemas are likely to see the same empty crowds as they did a few years ago. And the domestic film industry, which has just started, will also face a disaster."

"…So, please, let those good domestic films go! Face those good domestic films!"
