Chapter 644 Golden Horse Awards Night [Part ] (Update)

The next day, when Wei Yang left the hotel and headed for the Golden Horse Awards venue, the police sent a police car to escort him because there were too many reporters and media vehicles following him.

Boss Wei has seen many scenes, big and small, since his debut over the years, but this time he was still eye-opening.

With the escort of the police and bodyguards, Wei Yang was able to stand on the red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards safely.

Walking the red carpet with him were "Dying to Survive" director Wen Muye and main creator Zhang Yu.

These two were also nominated for this year's Golden Horse Awards, one for [Best New Director] and the other for [Best Newcomer]. It's a pity that the highly acclaimed Zhang Ze was not shortlisted.

In addition to the three nominees, there are four other nominations, including [Best Screenplay], [Best Editing], [Best Costume Design] and the most important [Best Feature Film], which is more commonly known as [Best Film].

The number of nominations is still quite large, but "Dying to Survive" is not the film with the most nominations this year.

Ranked first is "The Great Buddha+", which received a total of 10 nominations.

"Dying to Survive", "Love, Corruption" and "The Bold, the Corrupt and the Beautiful" all received seven nominations, ranking second, followed by "The Ferryman" with six nominations.

Although it did not receive the most nominations, Dying to Survive is arguably the most famous film at this year's Golden Horse Awards and also the highest-grossing film in the history of the Golden Horse Awards.

"Dying to Survive", which was released not long ago, finally ranked among the top three in film history with a box office of 35.5 billion.

The two films ahead of it, "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Detective Chinatown 2", did not receive any nominations at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Therefore, although there is a high chance that Boss Wei will win the Best Actor award, it is also a fact that the Golden Horse Awards has placed more emphasis on art films in recent years.

Last year, Wei Yang's "Wushuang" had already failed once. I wonder if Wei Yang will return empty-handed or with a lot of success when he goes to Taiwan in person this year?

At this time, Wei Yang, who was on the red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards, was not only the center of public opinion in Taiwan, but also attracted widespread attention in the mainland.

It can be said that Boss Wei has single-handedly made this year's Golden Horse Awards the most watched one in the past decade.

The fans around the red carpet cheered for Boss Wei at the top of their lungs, and Wei Yang kept waving his hands. Because there were too many people and they were too enthusiastic, Boss Wei's walk on the red carpet was slow.

But the organizing committee and the broadcast director team had no intention of urging him at all. They even hoped that he would go slower. They were all relying on Boss Wei to carry the ratings.

Finally we arrived at the outside interview area. The host in charge of the interview was a girl. I took a look at the brand name and it was Yang Qianpei.

Boss Wei thought about it and decided not to know him!
He has some knowledge of Hong Kong entertainment, but as for Taiwanese entertainment, he basically knows whoever is well-known in mainland China.

Among the hosts from Taiwan, apart from Wu Zhongxian, Ou Di, S, S, Cai Kangyong, and Jay Chou's ex-girlfriend, he is somewhat unfamiliar with even Tao Jingying.

As for those artists whose fame is limited to Taiwan, he knows them neither well nor does he need to know them well.

Wei Yang is well-known for not liking to use Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. On the one hand, it is a personal preference, on the other hand, he has no shortage of people, and on the other hand, Boss Wei has always been worried that the people here are prone to failure.

Later, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists had to submit a pledge of allegiance before going to the north to develop their careers, and they had to express their stance when something happened, which seemed like formalism.

But in fact, for some film and television variety show project leaders, if you don’t pledge your allegiance, it means that you have an ambiguous attitude on matters of principle and are a high-risk person.

Who would dare to employ such a person?
In the entertainment industry, cheating can be salvaged, and committing crimes may help keep the project, but some landmines are really fatal to anyone who touches them...

"Teacher Wei Yang, how do you feel about coming to Taiwan Province this time?"

It's not easy to be a host. Facing a boss of Wei's status, calling him Mr. Wei or Mr. Wei seems too formal. After all, Wei Yang came as an actor, so she should just call him by his name. However, she didn't have the courage to do so, so she simply imitated the mainland's way of calling him.

"I am surprised and moved by the enthusiasm of the Taiwanese people and fans. Of course, it would be better if the enthusiasm of the reporters and media were less."

Wei Yang first thanked those who welcomed him, and then half-jokingly mentioned the paparazzi.

The local paparazzi are so rude!

The host was not Wei Yang, so he did not dare to offend the paparazzi from Taiwan Province. He just laughed it off and then asked Wei Yang about his expectations for this award.

Wei Yang is extremely skilled in this kind of red carpet standard issue. He is humble and praises his competitors. Maybe it is quite conventional, but he will never make mistakes.

However, Boss Wei was very conservative when talking about his award. When talking about Zhang Yu and Wen Muye next to him, his attitude was more open, and he said frankly that he thought the two would win.

The host took Wei Yang and his group to visit for nearly 5 minutes before finally letting them go.

Wei Yang walked into the inner venue and saw that most of the people at the venue were Taiwanese filmmakers. It was unusual that he did not receive the same treatment as in the past where he was greeted by people from all walks of life.

However, this is just an illusion.

Soon, Wei Yang met wave after wave of acquaintances and Taiwanese filmmakers who wanted to get to know him.

Wei Yang's main communication partners are mainland filmmakers, the one he is most familiar with is Huang Bo, who was nominated for Best Actor at this year's Golden Horse Awards for his role in Under the Ice.

At the Shanghai Film Festival in June this year, Wei Yang defeated Huang Bo and Under the Ice with "Wushuang" and won his first authoritative trophy, the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor.

A few months later, the two met again at the Golden Horse Awards.

Considering the outside calls and Wei Yang's ambiguous attitude when he suddenly came to Taiwan, Huang Bo is likely to repeat his runner-up performance in June.

However, Huang Bo himself was still very calm, mainly because he had already won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor before. Winning it twice was certainly gratifying, but he was not too disappointed if he didn't win any.

He had made similar preparations before coming here. Among the five Best Actor nominees, his chances of winning the award were ranked in the lower middle.

This year's Golden Horse Awards' race for Best Actor is almost a foregone conclusion. It's either Boss Wei or a local Taiwanese art film. The chances of anyone else making an upset are slim.

The reason why Huang Bo came here, apart from betting on the possibility of a dark horse, was that he had always had a good relationship with the Golden Horse Awards. In 2012, he even served as the host of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

His early personality of high emotional intelligence, good eloquence and quick-wittedness was well known to the public, which was inseparable from his wonderful performance at the Golden Horse Awards.

With all these connections and the name mentioned, it would be difficult for Huang Bo to shirk the responsibility.

Just like Boss Wei and the Magnolia Award, even if they know they won't win the award, they will still go to support him because of their friendship unless there is a special reason.

In addition to Huang Bo, Fan Wei, Xiao Huangya and Ma Sichun were also at the venue. They were also the best actor and actress in the previous session.

In recent years, the Golden Horse Awards has the habit of inviting winners from the previous year to serve as award presenters.

If Boss Wei wins the Best Actor award this year, he will most likely be invited to present the awards next year, unless there are special circumstances that prevent him from coming. In that case, he will generally be given this honor.

So here today are not only the best actor and actress, but also last year's best director Feng Kuzi.

The latter saw that Huang Bo and Fan Wei were chatting happily, with a changing expression on his face, but he finally came over to say hello.

"President Wei, congratulations."

Wei Yang smiled and said, "The award hasn't been given out yet, Director Feng, congratulations are premature."

Feng Kuazi tried hard not to roll his eyes. He was not a rookie who had never seen the world, so why was he pretending to be a child?

Your boss Wei came here in person and caused such a big commotion. Who would believe you if you said you were unsure? "I'm optimistic about you, Boss Wei. I'm afraid I won't be able to find you after the show. Congratulations in advance."

"Then I have to thank Director Feng for his auspicious words."

Both of them had smiles on their faces, especially Boss Wei, whose smile was particularly kind, but the atmosphere was far from as friendly as it appeared on the surface. Several people nearby keenly noticed that something was wrong and pretended to be wooden.

In terms of status, Feng Kuazi cannot compare with Boss Wei now, but the two sides have already fallen out.

After all, Feng Kuzi is a well-known director in the circle, and he is very proud. He cannot admit defeat in front of so many people.

Of course, he didn't dare to provoke. He just said a few words in a roundabout way, but when he saw that the situation was not right, he took the initiative to stop.

Wei Yang still felt a little regretful. He was actually looking forward to Feng Kuzi provoking him and venting his anger on last year's Fatty Fan.

If this old guy admits his mistake, Boss Wei will not be able to take the initiative to pick a fight with him.

Firstly, Wei Yang is not the type to casually criticize others. Secondly, today is a happy occasion and he doesn't want to ruin the mood. Thirdly, they are really not on the same level and arguing with him would make Boss Wei lose face.

Just like last year when Feng Kuzi questioned Wanda’s film scheduling, it was Wang Dashao who came out to argue with him, and Old Wang didn’t say a word at all.

By the same token, it didn't matter how Fatty Fan and Feng tore their pants, but when Boss Wei left the scene, it was actually a compliment to him.

Boss Wei, whose fortunes have already been established, is about to become the richest man and the most prominent rich man in Asia. Not to mention Feng Pants, even the two brothers from Huayi are now inferior to Wei Yang in level.

If Feng Kuazi hadn't been unavoidable, he would definitely not have come over. He just said hello and wanted to leave.

But the few "Youth" actors who followed him looked at Boss Wei eagerly and had difficulty moving.

He’s a big shot in the entertainment industry. It’s a rare opportunity to show off his face, who would want to miss it?

Although they all starred in "Youth", it does not mean that they are all from Huayi and they may not be unable to get close to Boss Wei.

With the leadership of these people, even those who had signed with Huayi were reluctant to stay.

These young actors don't have such strong factional ideas. The conflict between Blue Whale and Huayi does not involve them, and they don't have the so-called idea of ​​avoiding suspicion. There are even many who have their hearts in Cao's camp but not in Han.

If Boss Wei can show sincerity in poaching employees, the success rate will be incredibly high.

Seeing everyone's actions, Feng Kuzi felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to ruin the show, so Huang Xuan stood up.

He and Boss Wei had worked together on "Joy of Life" and they had some friendship, so he briefly introduced a few people to prevent them from staying away.

"This is Miaomiao..."

Wei Yang knew Zheng Kai’s wife in his previous life. She was able to have children, but he didn’t know if they could still be together in this life?

"This is Zhong Chuxi..."

Wei Yang also knows her. She claims that she has a new boyfriend for every drama she films. She is the female version of Boss Wei.

"This is Yang Caiyu..."

This was even more familiar. Boss Wei couldn't help but take a few more glances at Liu Tianxian's godmother. When this official announcement about her relationship with Boss Chen was made, Liu Shishi and Da Mimi were almost delighted to death. They even made a video call in the middle of the night to gloat over her misfortune.

However, Boss Wei still had some respect for this girl. There was a thirty-year age difference between them, yet she could still do such a thing?
But this grievance was not in vain. It was because of her old baby that she was able to star in a famous director's work like "Youth", and also took advantage of Liu Tianxian's popularity and her fame soared.

Speaking of which, Feng Kuzi is quite capable. Although the people in "Youth" didn't become famous later, they all made a name for themselves.
Unfortunately, Feng’s pants fell apart after “Youth”.

Although the Huayi incident and the masks led to a reduction in production, the released films "Only Yun Knows" and "If You Are the One 3" were so popular that even their mothers didn't recognize them.

Turning to online dramas, the performance and reputation of "Nanyuanbeizhe" and "Echo" were also mediocre.

Wei Yang had the impression that he later made an anti-spy film starring Hu Ge and Lei Datou, but he didn't know how it turned out.

After greeting a few people in a friendly and polite manner, the "Youth" group reluctantly left with the gloomy-faced Feng Kuazi.

Boss Wei was really itching to do something. It would be fun to really poach these people.

These people in the mainland are praising Boss Wei, and filmmakers in Taiwan are even more enthusiastic.

Boss Wei is the biggest boss in the mainland's film and television circles, with a large number of film and television projects and PPTV. If these people in Taiwan can cooperate with Boss Wei, they will be holding on to a cash cow.

Especially those female artists. If there weren’t so many people around, Boss Wei would have been so full of small notes that his pockets would be stuffed full.

Even so, there were still several people who were brave enough to slip him little notes, some leaving their phone numbers, some leaving their WeChat addresses, and some even leaving their hotel rooms.

Who do they think he is? Besides, at least leave a photo. He can't match his face to so many people.

Besides, he wouldn't dare to go even if he encountered the enemy. Not to mention the honey trap and hype, there are dozens of paparazzi guarding the door. If he is not careful, the whole island will be broadcast live.

Boss Wei really wants to promote cross-strait harmony, but he is not prepared to sacrifice to this extent...

It is worth mentioning that Boss Wei also met several judges. Although no one said it explicitly, their smiles revealed deep meanings.

Among them, the one who gave the most obvious hint was Qin Hailu. As the winner of the Golden Horse Awards, she is one of the judges of this year.

Interestingly, when Wei Yang won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor last year, she was also one of the judges. Her smile then was no different from the one now, except that it was brighter this time. She almost said that Boss Wei would treat her to dinner that evening.

Wei Yang understood that this person was truly his lucky star and he would have to get closer to him in the future.

Gao Huan's sister Gao Loujin and brother-in-law Wei Jing in "Chi Le Chuan" can be found in her and her husband Wang Xinjun, the latter of whom is Wei Yan in "The New Three Kingdoms".

Qin Hailu is a big star, so she must be a guest star, mainly appearing in the early stages. Wang Xinjun's brother-in-law Wei Jing is an important official, so he does have some plot and can be considered a supporting role.

However, the role is not actually important. What is important is that Boss Wei is trying to show his goodwill and closeness.

Everyone took the opportunity to interact more often, get along well, and become family. From then on, Blue Whale's projects were opened to couples.

He remembered that Wang Xinjun seemed to have moved behind the scenes in the later period. Did that require funding and platform channels? Did he have to establish a good relationship with Boss Wei?

It is no exaggeration to say that there are many people who want to make a "friendly guest appearance" as Boss Wei, but they cannot find a way.

After all the excitement, the time finally came for the award ceremony to begin. Before the ceremony began, there was an opening performance.

The bald man who had come to the airport with Boss Wei earlier was wearing heavy makeup and a red coat and green mink fur.

"The moon is so bright, the wind is so gentle, the leaves cover the curtains, and the crickets are chirping, like the sound of strings on a musical instrument..."

Boss Wei shook his head slightly in the audience. This lullaby might be sung for a child as part of a funeral ceremony if you don't know. But think about it, they are Second Hand Rose.

Well, normal operation...
