<h1>Takako Tokiwa missed Zhang Guorong on the spot and confessed to Feng Xiaogang of "Old Cannon"</h1>
The first highlight of the night came from the "Queen of Japanese Drama" Takako Tokiwa, as a guest at the Asian Newcomer Awards ceremony, Takako Tokiwa also recalled her first work as a newcomer to the film, "Fairy Tale of the Star Moon". In 1999, Takako Tokiwa worked with Zhang Guorong for the first time in a movie, and she often misses zhang Guorong's help to her when she was filming with her brother. Takako Tokiwa said that when she encountered a bad career so far, she would think: If it was Zhang Guorong, what would he say?
Guan Hu, the director who presented the Best Actor Award with Takako Tokiwa that night, asked her who her favorite mainland actor was, and Takako Tokiwa said that she had seen Guan Hu's work "Old Cannon", and the male actors there were too powerful. Since you like the male actor in "Old Cannon", it must only be the film emperor Feng Xiaogang, I don't know if Guan Hu will really tell Feng Dao this sentence.
<h1>"New Director" Qin Hailu sent a message to the new filmmaker Xu Zheng on the stage to read out the invitation letter</h1>
The award ceremony was star-studded, and actresses such as Jiang Yiyan, Qin Hailu and Xu Weining took the stage as award guests. Qin Hailu, who will direct her first film work, took the stage, but she starred in the film "Durian Fluttering" for the first time that year, and won the Golden Horse Award. This time, Qin Hailu presented awards to the film newcomers, and maybe next year she will also come to the stage as the best director to receive the award.
As the ambassador of the Asian Newcomer Award, Xu Zheng's task on the day was very important, and he read out the invitation letter of the "Belt and Road Film Tour" on the spot, inviting more new filmmakers to join the film tour. Thinking that today's film newcomers may be tomorrow's movie celebrities, today's award ceremony is really meaningful.
