My Hidden Wife is Sweet Chapter 694 - The Legendary Movie Queen (4)

Chapter 694: The Legendary Movie Queen (4)

As night fell, the ceremony of the Lugano Film Festival started.

The hosts were two famous hosts from Switzerland. The male host was humorous and handsome, and the female host was beautiful and witty. The two of them looked very beautiful together, as they walked onto the stage.

The filmmakers below the stage clapped enthusiastically.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the host introduced the 18 nominated movies and some specially invited movie critics.

After a short round of jokes, the host introduced two filmmakers to the stage, as the guest presenters.

Most of the prizes that were revealed at the beginning were not very well received, and the biggest award was usually kept until the end.

The first prize winner to be revealed was a German film.

The director of the movie went on stage to receive the award and gave a brief acceptance speech.

The second prize was the movie The Christian Human Spirit, an American film about faith and belief.

The third award was jointly accepted by two movies, one Spanish and one French.

After the two directors went onto the stage, they congratulated each other in good humour after winning the award. The two of them talked as if they were doing a talk show and each of them gave their own individual acceptance speech.

The fourth prize was the audience selection award. It was a light comedy film from the United States, it had performed well in the European and American box office this year.

After the award was given, it was time for the Best Newcomer Award.

The award was given to some young directors, who directed a movie for the first time, as a form of encouragement.

Hearing the host announcing the award, Ling Yan subconsciously glanced at Gu Weiwei.

With her qualifications, she should have won this award.

The award was announced by a senior filmmaker on the stage. The filmmaker, Bach, had curly golden hair and a full beard. He spoke fluent English and praised the winner.

“I think that this winner must be G.o.d’s favorite. She is very pretty, talented and cute. I wanted to give her all of the trophies today.”

“Actually, if she had not been so young, I would have given her the Best Director Award. But after I selected her, some people lost the award, so we had to give her the Best Newcomer Award.”

After a long speech, Bach smiled mysteriously and opened the card with the winner’s name.

“It seems that everyone is tired of listening to me. Then let’s invite our lovely winner up onto the stage to receive her award.”

“Let’s welcome our lovely Weiwei.”

Gu Weiwei stood up amidst the applause and walked towards the stage with a smile.

After she went on stage, she gave Bach a polite hug.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Bach gave her the trophy and said to the audience, “Sleepless is an excellent movie and Miss. Mu Weiwei is an excellent and dedicated filmmaker.”

“There is a saying in Hua Land that says ‘the new generation surpa.s.ses the old’. So I tell you now, if you don’t work hard, you will be overtaken by her.”

The audience burst into laughter.

Bach was an internationally-renowned filmmaker. After he stopped directing movies, he often became the judge at the International Film Festival.

Although he was humorous, he had always been strict when judging the films.

It was Dream of a Long Life, starring Ling Yan, that he had praised so highly a few years ago.
