Chapter 561: Chapter 340: Winning the Documentary Gold Award (Seeking Subscription)_2

"Believe it or not, I do have one."

Ding Yue chuckled and glanced at Su Yangfan, the once-famed director now down on his luck, before saying, "Let’s talk about this later. The documentary gold award is about to be announced."

Despite the intense anticipation surrounding the best actress and actor awards that followed, Ding Yue was not particularly interested.

After several golden awards were presented in succession, it was finally time for the Documentary Gold Award.

Four documentaries were nominated.

Of these, Mist City Arts and Science University’s "A Bite of Xia Country" was one, with the others being broadly themed on history, wildlife, and the earth.

Furthermore, these other three documentaries were directed by renowned filmmakers, posing significant competition for "A Bite of Xia Country".

"Next up, we are going to announce the Gold Award for Documentary at the NTS Gala!"

The host announced with a smile.

At that moment, Ding Yue held his breath.

Whether "A Bite of Xia Country" could win the NTS Gold Award was particularly important for the Film and Television Department of Mist City Arts and Science University.

If they won, it would be a recognition of the department.

If they didn’t, it would be somewhat of a disappointment.

At that moment, tens of thousands of students at Mist City Arts and Science University, like their Principal Ding, held their breath, waiting for the guest announcer to reveal the winner!

In the audience, Wen Ruohan was very nervous. Alongside him, Tang Yuanhua and Shen Ling were also in intense anticipation.

"I hope it’s us!"

"It has to be us!"

Wen Ruohan and Tang Yuanhua muttered, hoping that the Documentary Gold Award would go to their own "A Bite of Xia Country".

Elsewhere, Director Liu Mei of NTS Channel 1 was also quite hopeful.

Because the food documentary "A Bite of Xia Country", which she had discovered and aired on NTS, was also the one she had nominated for the NTS Documentary Gold Award.

"And the NTS Gala Documentary Gold Award winner is... ’A Bite of Xia Country’!"

The guest presenter opened the winner’s envelope and announced loudly.

"Hurray!"

"Great!"

"Us? Is it us?"

"Awesome!"

"Brothers, let’s congratulate Mist City Arts and Science University in the public chat!"

The students watching the live broadcast were immediately abuzz with excitement.

Ding Yue also heaved a sigh of relief, "It did not disappoint me indeed!"

Zhu Youzhao excitedly grabbed Principal Ding’s hands, "Principal Ding, we won. We won!"

"Ahem, Director Zhu!" Ding Yue coughed softly, and Zhu Youzhao quickly let go.

"Congratulations, Principal Ding!" Su Yangfan congratulated him with a smile, seeing that "A Bite of Xia Country" had won.

"Thank you!"

At this time, Ma Wenhai’s face didn’t look too pleased in the audience. He had just told Ding Yue earlier that they couldn’t possibly win the award, but against his prediction, they had actually won. Well...

"I’ve watched this food documentary from Mist City Arts and Science University, it is indeed not bad."

"Yep, I’ve also seen it, very engaging."

"I remember it made me really hungry when I watched it."

"There aren’t many food documentaries around, but ’A Bite of Xia Country’ is not only a food documentary, but also a documentary that integrates Xia Country’s traditional food culture. It is well-deserving of this award!"

The directors, scriptwriters, stars, and actors from various circles started discussing after the award was presented.

"A Bite of Xia Country" was indeed a popular documentary. It was a hit on Bilibili, then NTS picked it to broadcast and expanded the viewer base significantly.

This documentary went beyond the circles of already established documentary viewers and attracted an audience that had never watched a documentary before.

"Director Liu, your vision is really spot on. This was just intended as a stand-in, but it actually won a gold award!"

Director Liu Mei’s colleague couldn’t help but compliment.

A delighted smile crept onto Director Liu Mei’s face. She was thrilled. The award for "A Bite of Xia Country" was undoubtedly an achievement in her career.

"Director Liu, I really like this work. Will there be a second part?"

"Yes, yes, yes, we highly recommend making a sequel."

Her colleagues encouraged enthusiastically.

Liu Mei simply smiled, "I’ll think about it."

After announcing the Documentary Gold Award, Ding Yue stepped up to the stage to collect the award on behalf of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Film and Television Department.

"That must be Principal Ding Yue of Mist City Arts and Science University, right?"

"He is the investor of ’Super Combat Team’ which grossed over 2 billion at the box office."

"He owns a private university too."

"He also participated in the development of the third-generation semiconductor materials?"

"He’s truly a genius!"

"Well, he’s rich."

Many people in the crowd were aware of Ding Yue’s "achievements". After all, everyone in Xia Country’s film and television industry knew about "Super Combat Team" grossing over 20 billion in box office sales, which made many people envious.

"Mr. Ding, are there any thoughts you’d like to share as your school’s ’A Bite of Xia Country’ wins the Documentary Gold Award?"
