As soon as the guest responsible for presenting the Best Director Award came out, Li Yi knew that he was safe.
Because the guests responsible for presenting the Best Director Award turned out to be Chen Weijie and Chen Han.
Although many people saw the two of them on stage to present this award, they knew that it was most likely Li Yi.
After all, who doesn’t know about the relationship between Chen Weijie and Li Zhenye? And Chen Weijie is also one of the few Hong Kong superstars who has collaborated with Li Yi.
As for Chen Han, not to mention, in order to invite Li Yi, he personally visited Li Zhenye.
Although Li Yi did not come, Chen Han's position was very obvious.
However, before the final result came out, everyone said they were quite nervous.
Li Yi was actually fine, but Mu Qing in his arms sat up suddenly regardless of his happy couple.
In the camera, although Li Zhenye and Yi Lingling still looked smiling, everyone could feel their tension.
This time, Chen Weijie read the result directly without any pause or any intention of showing off.
"The winner of this year's Academy Award for Best Director is Li Yi's "The Story of Hachiko"!
"boom!"
Suddenly the audience burst into applause.
The results were announced without any suspense.
This is not the first time someone won the Best Director award despite not being present at the awards ceremony.
But this is the most special one, because Li Yi is not yet thirty years old this year.
And such a result can also be said to have eliminated a topic that will be controversial in the future.
What is surprising, but not surprising, is that Li Yi still did not show up, and his father Li Zhenye accepted the award on his behalf.
However, after Li Zhenye took the stage, he did not speak on behalf of Li Yi. Instead, he held the trophy and turned to look at the big screen behind him.
Soon, Li Yi's figure appeared on the big screen.
But behind Li Yi is the background of desert yellow sand.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't attend the ceremony because, as everyone has seen, I am filming in the desert and the distance is too far. I am also filming the most critical scenes, so I cannot attend the award ceremony!"
Then, nothing new, just some more usual acceptance speeches.
It's just that many viewers watching the live broadcast didn't focus on this at all.
On the contrary, they were extremely curious, what kind of film was Li Yi making?
"Here, Director Dog has really changed his temper? Is this a period film?"
"Or filming in the desert?"
"Is the tear-jerking director about to transform?"
"I'm particularly curious, what kind of film will Director Dog make after his transformation?"
"His Weibo seems to be frequently updating some historical stories about Mobei in the Tang Dynasty recently."
"Has this transformation gone too far? Are you actually going to make a historical film?"
"If the dog director can make me cry again this time, I will really be convinced!"
...
