Chapter 646 Well-deserved and Li Jiahang’s “stupidity”

Golden Horse Awards Backstage

Wei Yang took a photo with Kara Hui, the Best Actress for her role in "The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful", and was interviewed.

Unlike Boss Wei who won three Golden Horse Awards for the first time, Kara Hui is a veteran who has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress three times before. It is worth mentioning that her third Golden Horse Award for Best Actress was won in the first half of this year.

This means that Kara Hui won both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress this year.

However, the two trophies are not for the same movie. The Golden Horse Award is for "Bold, Corrupt, and Beautiful", and the Hong Kong Film Award is for "Lucky Me".

Although she is an old hand, Kara Hui was still very excited as it might be her first time to win a Golden Horse Award. She even shed tears during the interview, which made Boss Wei look so nonchalant.

But everyone still expressed understanding.

Kara Hui is a pure actress, and a not very famous one at that. It is not easy for her to win an award. She is also a relatively emotional woman, so of course she is excited and sentimental.

Boss Wei is different. After all, his identity is there.

Winning the Golden Horse Award was just the icing on the cake for him. He might be happy, but he wasn't excited enough to cry.

If Boss Wei really shed tears, it would seem like an overreaction and a bit fake.

So being a big boss isn’t always good. You have to control yourself and keep your composure.

Even if you don't want to be tense, you have to be tense because others think you are. If you don't, some people may think you are true to your nature, while others may criticize you for being hypocritical, hype-oriented, and acting like a show-off.

Boss Wei has been in the business world for so many years, and he doesn't particularly care about these sour remarks.

But given his personality, this matter wouldn't really excite him too much, especially if he showed it on the surface.

I was happy to win awards in the early days, but I had never seen the world, and I was always criticized for being an idol, so I wanted to prove myself.

Wei Yang's mentality and strength no longer require all these. Let alone the Golden Horse Awards, even if he won the triple gold Grand Slam, he would just celebrate privately with friends and family.

In comparison, it would make Wei Yang happier if his family members, such as Zhao Liying, Liu Shishi or his friend Li Jiahang, won awards.

After all, he has no shortage of awards, but his family and friends do, so the emotional value they gain is different.

This is just like when Boss Wei makes 100 million, he is just a little happy, but opening a bottle of wine to celebrate seems grand.

But if Li Jiahang earns 100 million, he will be really happy and even setting up a banquet for three days would not be too much.

Similarly, if Liu Shishi or Zhao Liying win a Golden Horse or Golden Rooster Best Actress award one day, the scale of the banquet will probably be much larger than the 100 million yuan earned by Li Jiahang.

Speaking of which, in the previous life, Tang Yan from "Fang Hua" failed again. The 85 flower really has no luck in winning awards. It depends on his performance in the future...

...

The Golden Horse Awards ceremony had just ended, and Wei Yang showed up at the celebration party and then left. Many media and variety shows wanted to invite him, but Wei Yang declined.

Under the current situation, cross-strait relations are more complicated and there are many pitfalls. Wei Yang does not want to be involved unless necessary.

Therefore, since coming to Taiwan, I have avoided these interviews. If I really have no choice, I will just say the cliché "the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family". In short, I will not say a word about anything else.

After staying in the hotel for two hours and waiting for the flight to be adjusted, Wei Yang and his group left on a private plane overnight. It was so quick and easy.
There is no way, I always feel a little uneasy in the war zone...

If you don't transfer in Hong Kong, flying directly from Taiwan to Shanghai is very fast. In less than two hours, Wei Yang returned to the familiar Shanghai.

The driver came to pick him up, and on the way back, Wei Yang took a look at the online public opinion.

After several hours of fermentation, the news that Wei Yang won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor has spread throughout the entire Internet and is being hotly discussed on multiple platforms.

Different from Zhao Liying who likes to read the flattery in the super topic, Wei Yang prefers to go to platforms with less influence in the fan circle to read the real comments of passers-by.

[As expected, it was Wei Yang. His performance in "Dying to Survive" is beyond doubt.]

[Except for Under the Ice which has not been released yet, I have watched several movies. The performances of the other nominated ones are also remarkable, especially Tu Men's performance in Old Beast is very mature. It's a pity that he met Wei Yang who was blessed with Dying to Survive. The latter is a supermodel.]

[It's a pity. In terms of performance, I prefer Tu Men. Of course, Wei Yang is also great, but he is more or less influenced by the role.]

[The movie "Dying to Survive" has, to some extent, promoted society's attention to certain groups of people with medical diseases, and it seems that relevant policies have also been introduced. This is of great significance, and Wei Yang's role is also very well-performed. There is nothing wrong with him winning the award.]

[Wei Yang has performed well in several movies in recent years, especially "Wushuang". It's a pity that he didn't win many awards. "Dying to Survive" can be considered a perfect ending.]

[I won the Golden Horse Award, but I didn’t win the Golden Image Award. Do you think I have a chance to win the Golden Rooster Award next year?]

[The Golden Rooster Awards will be held the year after next. I think there is a good chance, but it’s hard to say. The higher the box office, the less they like the old gang. But there is a good chance for the Hundred Flowers Awards.]

[That’s right, Wei and Fan both performed well in “Wushuang”, but in the end, they were both eliminated. Bai Baihe, who was given a one-finger Zen, didn’t care about her reputation at all]

[They hooked up with Huayi and praised Feng Kuazi and others]

[That can't be said. Deng Chao is more of a Shanghainese. He won the Best Actor Award, and Bai Baihe's performance was indeed good. Putting aside the one-finger Zen incident, he is not much worse than Fan Xiaopang, so it is reasonable for him to win the award.]

[What the hell is going on here? Wei Gou won the Golden Horse Award. Is he the first male actor born in the 80s?]

[It’s okay if you don’t take it, let alone those born in the 80s, even those born in the 70s are not one of them]

[I mean, is he the first actor born in the 80s to win three Golden Globes awards?]

[That’s not the case. I checked and found that Chef Xie in “The Informer” and Ethan Ruan in “The Boat” were both born in the 80s.]

[In Hong Kong and Taiwan, across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong and Macau are all here]

[The two are far apart. One is the Golden Statue and the other is the Golden Horse. Both were strongly promoted by Hong Kong and Taiwan. There were many controversies at the time. Wei Yang's gold content is more sufficient]

[Look at you compared to this guy, are these three on the same level? Just lump them together.]

【…】

Seeing the comments becoming more and more off-topic, Wei Yang chuckled and turned off his phone.

There is no need to look at the rest, it is just the daily competition, and Wei Yang’s fans and supporters usually win.

Because when others bring up artists, they let Wei Yang compete with them in terms of box office and popularity; when they bring up young actors and top idols, they compare their acting skills and honors; when they bring up those with good overall conditions or a group of people, they compare their wealth…

There are certainly many reasons why Boss Wei is hated on the Internet, but this group of people cannot escape blame either.

Boss Wei has already given up on this, but there is nothing he can do. He can’t control what others say no matter how much he controls the world.

As a public figure, if you receive relevant benefits, you have to bear the relevant disadvantages.

Wei Yang didn't pay attention to these. He was more concerned about everyone's feedback on his winning the award, which can be summed up in four words:

Deserved!

Satisfied with putting away his phone, Wei Yang closed his eyes and rested. When he returned home, Zhao Liying and the others were already asleep. Wei Yang did not disturb them and found a guest room to rest.

The next morning, Wei Yang woke up, rubbed his eyes and went to the living room. Zhao Liying was chatting with the confinement nanny. When she saw him come out, she hurriedly took out a firecracker from somewhere, twisted it with her hand, and confetti fell from the sky.

"Congratulations to Mr. Wei, the movie emperor."

"It's all just a bunch of fancy stuff."

Wei Yang said he was disgusted, but he couldn't stop smiling. He even gave Zhao Liying a good morning kiss. But he was hit by Zhao Liying because she complained that he didn't brush his teeth.

"Oh, my good son, daddy hugs you."

After being confronted, Boss Wei "sadly" went to his son for comfort, but unexpectedly, the second young master Wei despised him even more. He turned his head away and ignored him. Instead, he grabbed the "cannon" in Zhao Liying's hand with his little hand.

It can be seen that he is very interested in this thing that can make sounds and spray out colorful flowers.

Wei Yang kept teasing his son until he was about to cry, then he went to wash up in shame under the condemning eyes of Zhao Liying and the confinement nanny.

When he came out again, he found Zhao Liying gesticulating with his Golden Horse trophy at home.

"what happened?"

"This is your most valuable actor trophy. I have to find a conspicuous place to put it." "We agreed to put it in the company. I promised Lao Xia."

On the one hand, this adds something to the company's honor room, and on the other hand, it prevents several women from competing for the trophy and wanting to put it in "their own home."

"Don't worry, I have already prepared a replica for you."

It was as if Zhao Liying had learned a magic trick today. She took out an identical Golden Horse trophy from somewhere.

"I hired someone to make it specifically. All the details are copied from the original, including the fonts. Anyway, you've already won the award, so it doesn't matter where you put the trophy. No one will care whether it's real or not."

Wei Yang looked at the replica trophy in his hand and wanted to ask Zhao Liying where she ordered it.
If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Shishi will probably ask him for the trophy, and Fan Xiaopang probably won't know what to do.

Although it can be fooled if it is placed in the company, it is more practical to have a trophy.

Maybe, the two of them thought that the trophy was only kept in their own home, and felt that Wei Yang was still closer to them, so they were happy and Boss Wei might give them a small reward or something.

Zhao Liying walked back and forth at home, planning how to place the trophies. Not just one Golden Horse Award, but all the trophies for both of them.

Originally they had a trophy cabinet at home, but they had just moved into a new house, and because she was pregnant and had a child, she had not taken care of it. This time when Wei Yang won the award, Zhao Liying remembered it.

In fact, Xiao Zhao had been planning this for several days, but had not found a suitable place.

The main reason was that she had too high expectations. She wanted the visitors to see the honor of her family at a glance, but she also wanted to show it calmly and not show off deliberately.

To put it bluntly, I want to be cool but also low-key and cool...

While she was busy here, Wei Yang was having brunch in the restaurant. He got up a little late, so he just ate it anyway.

Just as they were eating happily, the doorbell rang. The nanny went to open the door. After a while, Li Jiahang came in hurriedly.

"Old Wei, where's the trophy?"

"How did you know I was here?"

Wei Yang was puzzled. He had more than one home. He almost ran to Liu Shishi's place last night. How could this bastard find his home so accurately?

"I called you but you didn't answer, so I asked my sister-in-law and then came here."

Wei Yang then took out his cell phone. He won the award last night and there were so many people congratulating him that he muted his phone before going to bed. This guy is familiar with Liu and Zhao, so he was able to find out with just one phone call.

Zhao Liying heard the noise, walked over, and handed the trophy in her hand to Li Jiahang, who touched it curiously.

"Tsk tsk, this is the Golden Horse Awards."

"Look at your potential."

Wei Yang curled his lips: "Isn't it just a Golden Horse Award? It's not an Oscar or Cannes, is it that serious?"

"Is it that serious? This is my dream. You know that one of my biggest dreams as an actor is to win a triple gold trophy or a Plum Blossom and Golden Lion Drama Award. I can't get it myself, so I can't just take advantage of yours."

"If you want, take one yourself."

"Come on, I know what I'm doing. Unless I'm lucky enough to get a good role before I'm forty, there's not much hope."

In his previous life, Li Jiahang probably wouldn't have dared to hope for this, but now he is considered a top star and has access to a lot of film resources. Although he can't say what he will achieve in the short term, he still has long-term ambitions.

"You are too pessimistic. I think your movie 'Sewing Machine Band' is pretty good, and 'Ex-Files 3' is also OK."

Zhao Liying is now out of confinement. Although she has not fully returned to work due to pressure from her mother-in-law, she has been involved in some work here and there, so she also understands Li Jiahang's situation.

The title of [Empress Li] is not a joke, and the importance she holds in Blue Whale is enough to make the two beauties in Xinjiang province envious.

Especially in the film industry, he previously starred in "Detective Chinatown 2", and then got two film resources in a row, including "Ex-Files 3" and "Sewing Machine Band". He also seemed to have taken on a big movie of "Love Apartment".

It is no exaggeration to call Li Jiahang a movie star now!
"Both of these films are comedies, so the chances of them winning awards are too low."

Li Jiahang shook his head, but Wei Yang didn't talk to him about it. Instead, he asked about "Ex-Files 3".

The Lunar New Year holiday season is about to begin, and "Ex-Files 3" is also a key killer for Blue Whale. Wei Yang is also counting on them to help Blue Whale hit an annual box office of 200 billion.

"The publicity has already begun, and many of the early programs have been recorded. We will start participating in the preview roadshow tomorrow."

"Don't worry, this time we have the promotional song written by your boss Wei himself, so the box office will be a piece of cake."

"I didn't write it, it was a joint creation. I just provided some ideas and some inspiration for the lyrics."

Wei Yang emphasized that if he had not been cautious, this would have almost caused a misunderstanding.

The song "Say Goodbye" was released last year, but it didn't become popular. It was later given to Yuan Yawei and became famous with the help of "Ex-Files 3". He always thought that this song was released together with the movie.

The song "Dignity" was actually composed by the crew at their request, but Wei Yang had learned his lesson and did not get involved, but just gave a few suggestions.

Boss Wei, who seldom copied songs in the past two years, is now increasingly "out of ideas". Of course, it can also be said that he is too busy with work and has no interest in music.

"Understand."

Li Jiahang smiled and winked, secretly glancing at Zhao Liying who was not far away.

"I listened to that song. It was about a dignified breakup and crying while singing at the top of one's lungs. If your sisters-in-law heard it, you would have a hard time."

Wei Yang: "..."

This guy still didn't shut up: "But when did you write this song? Could it be that when you broke up with Shi Shi, you were quite calm at the time, and you didn't cry secretly in private, or was it the bad fate before I knew you? You were a teenager, and you remembered it so clearly?"

Wei Yang put down his chopsticks and pointed to the door: "Get lost."

"It's urgent, it's urgent, it's definitely first love."

He laughed and joked for a while until Zhao Liying was alarmed and Wei Yang secretly kicked him. Only then did he behave himself.

After returning to normal, Wei Yang took a sip of the century egg and lean meat porridge, pondered for a moment, and then mentioned the movie "Love Apartment".

"I don't think you need to touch this mud pit."

Compared with the past, the public opinion of "Love Apartment" has changed a long time ago, from the pinnacle of modern sitcoms to a plagiarism of Chinese American TV series.

Especially since Wang Chuanjun had previously become famous for his role as Wang Mojing in "The Ferryman" and then distanced himself from "Love Apartment", this drama was also swept into the spotlight and became even more notorious.

Taking on the "Love Apartment" movie at this time is likely to affect Li Jiahang's good popularity among the public.

Hearing this, Li Jiahang stopped smiling and looked serious.

"I know it's easy to do something thankless, but this drama means something to me after all, and they agreed to go. We are all friends, and if I don't go, they will feel even worse."

Although Li Jiahang's career in this life relies more on Wei Yang, the "Love Apartment" series still has special meaning to him.

The main creators are also very good friends, and director Wei Zheng is his confidant second only to Wei Yang.

Wei Yang sighed, looked at Li Jiahang's determined expression, and stopped persuading him.

In fact, he already knew the answer. He knew Li Jiahang's character and he was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.

The more difficult the situation in "Love Apartment" becomes, the less likely he will back down.

Wang Chuanjun has already been stabbed, Jin Shijia's attitude is ambiguous, and he, who had the best development, broke up with "Love Apartment". This drama has been completely stuck in the mud and can't get out.

So even if others don’t go, he will go, and if others go, he will go even more.

It seems that this approach of gambling with one's own future is not very rational, and even a little stupid.

But sometimes, what Wei Yang appreciates most is this kind of "stupidity".

Li Jiahang can stand by "Love Apartment" today, and if his boss Wei gets into trouble one day in the future, this buddy will not leave him.

Wang and Jin may have done something right, but they are not suitable to be friends...
