James was also invited onto the stage for a picture because he had won the Fibisi Award.
After the picture, he threw a look at Gu Weiwei, who was holding a trophy in each hand and casually said, “It is the first time I have seen someone winning two awards at a time, after all my years of attending so many film festivals.”
Bach said with a smile, “That is because no one has ever been able to take care of both the directing and starring as an actress. If she can do it, of course she can win two trophies.”
Most of the people who attended the film festival were directors, actors and actresses, some were able to direct and play the lead roles, but few of them were able to be nominated.
Mu Weiwei was the first director and lead actress he had met in years.
She had surpassed many people in both talent and acting skills.
James was speechless and glanced at Ling Yan, who was sitting next to Ke Wei.
He felt that it was too embarrassing to be awarded the Fibisi Award.
Ling Yan was probably even more embarrassed than him.
She, the legendary Movie Queen, had tried her best to make a comeback but she had lost to a young Mu Weiwei.
Also, Mu Weiwei had won the award for Best Actress.
From the moment the Best Actress Award was revealed, she was no longer the legend of the film industry.
She had been in her twenties when she won the award for Dream of a Long Life, but Mu Weiwei had won the Best Female Lead award at the age of 19. She had also directed the movie herself, which was already incredible.
The old legends had passed, and the new ones had just begun.
After everyone had taken a picture together, the ceremony of the Lugano Film Festival officially came to an end and Gu Weiwei was undoubtedly the biggest winner.
After the pictures, James left the stage with Ling Yan and Ke Wei.
Gu Weiwei checked the time and found that she should hurry to return to the airport to return for the promotional event, so she texted Jolin and asked him to pick her up.
She was about to leave when Bach stopped her.
“Mu Weiwei, just a minute.”
“Anything else, Mr. Bach?” Gu Weiwei asked with a smile.
Bach looked at her and asked, “Do you know Mr. Gu Wei?”
“…” Gu Weiwei was startled.
Gu Weiwei did not want the public to know that she was the one who filmed Dream of a Long Life, so she used the name Gu Wei and masqueraded under the identity of a man.
Normally, everyone paid the most attention to the leading roles in a movie, and Ling Yan was undoubtedly the most popular actress in Dream of a Long Life, so very few people paid attention to her fake identity.
Bach expectantly asked, “Do you know him?”
Gu Weiwei shook her head. “No, why does Mr. Bach ask such a question?”
Bach thought for a while and said, “Due to the similarities between Sleepless and Dream of a Long Life, I am curious if you know him and have any experience in directing.”
Since both movies had left a deep impression on him, of course he would try to figure out the connection.
Gu Weiwei chuckled and denied it.
“No, maybe it is just a coincidence.”
Bach sighed in disappointment. “But you are also a unique filmmaker. You are now the Movie Queen of this year.”
When he first heard that Dream of a Long Life 2 was being filmed, he had thought that Ling Yan would be the Movie Queen of this year’s Lugano Film Festival.
Then he went to watch the movie and was deeply disappointed.
It was not until all the judges saw Mu Weiwei’s wonderful performance in Sleepless that his eyes lit up.
