China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 796 Hundred Flowers Award

The dinner didn't end too late, and everyone had a couple of drinks, not much.

After leaving the hotel, Gu Wei took a car back to Palm Springs International Apartments.

"It's so early today~"

As soon as Gu Wei entered the door, Nazha came to greet him.

She was wearing a black and white plaid pajamas. She had a slim figure and shoulder-length hair. Her pretty face was not made up, but her skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing.

Seeing Gu Weinazha smiled sweetly, she naturally helped him take off his coat and hung it on the hanger beside him, then held his arm and walked towards the living room, like a gentle little wife.

A drama starring Nazha was recently completed in Hengdian, and she just returned to Beijing a few days ago.

Gu Wei told her that he was going out for a drink today, and she thought he would be back very late.

"It's just a few directors in the company. We can just have a simple gathering and it won't be too late. They all have work to do tomorrow."

"Can you rest for a while longer when you come back this time?"

The two walked to the sofa and sat down, and Nazha poured a glass of warm water.

Gu Wei took it and took a sip.

"A few days~
Preparations for [Joy of Life 2] are almost done, and many actors have joined the crew. I will attend the Hundred Flowers Awards in a few days, and then go to Hengdian to join the crew for filming."

Nazha was a little depressed: "You have been too busy this year, with all kinds of dramas and activities since the beginning of the year.

Obviously everyone’s work has been reduced since the epidemic, but it feels like you have more work.”

Gu Wei put down his water cup: "It's normal actually. The cold winter of the film and television industry has made investors afraid to invest in film and television dramas easily, and there are fewer projects in the industry than before.

In order to reduce risks, a large amount of resources will be concentrated on top stars and actors.

I also feel that the number of films that have come to me this year has not decreased, but increased.”

Gu Wei put his arm around Nazha's slender waist, turned around and kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "You think I've been busy filming this year and don't have much time to accompany you, right?"

"It's okay. Actually, I don't really want you to accompany me."

Nazha felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts were guessed.

Gu Wei smiled and held Nazha's soft and fragrant body in his arms.

"Joy of Life 2 will be finished around the end of the year, and then I will shoot Bona's main theme war movie, The Battle at Lake Changjin. I will have about half a month of free time in between, and I will take you out for a vacation then."

"Okay, okay, where are we going?"

Naza looked surprised.

Gu Wei thought for a while and said: "Let's find a beautiful island to stay for a few days. It's a good opportunity to take my yacht out to sea for fun.

You can decide where to go.”

"Forehead
Hawaii? Maldives?

Or the nearby Bali and Boracay are also good.”

Gu Wei placed one hand on Nazha's smooth belly, and with the other hand he climbed up to hold her soft breasts, then lowered his head and gently kissed her fair neck.

"It's up to you to decide. Once you've chosen a place, tell me so I can have someone arrange the itinerary in advance."

There are many beautiful beaches in China, as well as some other scenic places, but Gu Wei's face is too easy to recognize in China, and there are so many people everywhere in China.

"Giggle~ It's so itchy~"

Because of Gu Wei's actions, Nazha smiled and twisted her body.

"Stop messing around. I've run some water for you. Go take a shower first. You smell like alcohol."

"Let's go together~"

“But I have washed them all.”

"It's okay, you can help me wipe my back."

Nazha did not refuse and was carried to the bathroom by Gu Wei.

After a while, in the huge double jacuzzi, the two people had a deep exchange of ideas with each other.

After taking a bath for more than an hour, Nazha felt refreshed inside and out, and her whole body was sore. Finally, Gu Wei carried her from the bathroom to the bedroom.

"I was filming in Hengdian some time ago, and my senior sister came to visit me on set."

On the big bed, Nazha, with a blush on her face, lay in Gu Wei's arms. After recovering some strength, she chatted with him.

"Are you still in touch now?" Gu Wei asked casually while stroking her black hair.

“Of course, I had a good relationship with my senior sister when I was in Tangren.

It was only after I left the company that I had less contact with her.

A few days ago, she went to Hengdian for business and came to see me on the set.

By the way, we talked about you."

"say what?"

"Senior Sister Shi said that she happened to meet you on set when she was filming and chatted with you for a while."

"I passed by Shanghai in June and went to visit the crew of "The Best Years" to meet Mr. Chen Daoming and his team. I happened to meet Liu Shishi and we got to know each other." Gu Wei also remembered.

"Aren't you going to visit Nini on set?"

"Ni Ni, Mr. Chen, Tian Yu and Wang Yao, they are all in the crew of "The Best of Times". It doesn't matter who we go to see, we are all friends."

Gu Wei laughed it off. It seemed that Liu Shishi had said a lot.

"Hehe." Nazha knew Gu Wei very well and didn't care too much about these things, but she would occasionally feel a little jealous.

She didn't dwell on this question and continued, "Senior Sister talked to me a lot, from work to life. She asked me what's going on between me and you now?"

"What did you say?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

"I think it's still the same as before. I'll just follow you. Anyway, with you around, I don't have to worry about work or life."

"You are quite honest," Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Senior Sister is not an outsider. She has known about our relationship for a long time, so there is no need to talk to her in official language.

I haven't seen her for a long time. This time I saw her and she looked very tired. She had lost her vitality and agility."

"She is now a wife and a mother, she is definitely not the little girl she was back then"

"No, it feels like she has a lot of things to worry about every day and is tired and exhausted. I can feel that from chatting with her."

Gu Wei thought for a moment and said, "She has indeed fallen behind in her career over the years. She may have devoted most of her energy to her family. You can't have your cake and eat it too~
But the drama "The Best of Times" that she filmed this year is pretty good, and it should help her recover some money after it airs."

Marriage has a really big impact on Liu Shishi’s career.

Liu Shishi entered the entertainment industry in 07 and became the top star of Tangren Film and Television as soon as she signed the contract. She was then strongly supported by Cai Yinong.

In 2011, she became famous for her role in "Startling by Each Step", and won many awards, including the Most Popular Actress in the Internet Audience Voting of the Magnolia Awards, the Most Popular Actress in the Media of the Huading Awards, and the Mainland Actress of the Year in the 6th Tencent Star Awards. Her fans were known as the "Million-strong Army" at that time, and they were well-known for their solidarity and ability to fight in the domestic entertainment industry.

In 2012, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi competed for the "Golden Eagle Goddess" award. When Yang Mi herself had little hope, she turned to support her best friend Tang Yan. As a result, the combined number of their fans could not surpass that of the "little lions".

Unfortunately, these die-hard fans collectively broke down and stopped following Liu Shishi after she announced her marriage.

After Liu Shishi's wedding in 15, her career went downhill and never recovered.

Now she has basically become the bottom of the 85 flowers.

On September 9, the 26th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards was held in Zhengzhou, Henan.

Adhering to the principle of audience choice, the nominees for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards are still films that have achieved impressive box office and popularity in the past two years.

Films such as "Better Days", "My People, My Country", "The Bravest", "The Accidental Detective", "The Captain", and "The Climbers" have been nominated for multiple awards and are the favorites for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.

Among them, "Better Days" was nominated for six major awards including Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. It is the film with the most nominations for the Hundred Flowers Awards this year.

【Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils】There is no nomination.

It’s not because of lack of qualifications. On the contrary, "Zhou Chu" is actually better than "Better Days" in terms of quality and popularity.

It’s just that the movie was released too late, and the selection and evaluation of the Hundred Flowers Awards were completed in early August.

Although I failed to be nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards, I will not miss the Golden Rooster Awards in November for [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils].

Compared with the Hundred Flowers Awards chosen by the audience, the Golden Rooster Awards have higher gold content in the industry.

On the 26th, Gu Wei arrived in Zhengzhou and met with the crew of "Better Days".

"Brother, we are all shortlisted again this time!"

Zhang Zifeng was very happy to see Gu Wei and greeted him excitedly.

The little girl was wearing a long black suspender dress, and she looked much more mature at first glance.

“Yes, I feel that Zifeng, you can win the Best Actress award this time~” Gu Wei said with a smile.

"It's not that easy, but I think you should have no problem winning the Best Actor award, after all, the Academy Awards have already given it to you."

At the Hong Kong Film Awards at the beginning of the year, Gu Wei and Zhang Zifeng were both nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, but Gu Wei won while Zhang Zifeng lost.

To be honest, Zhang Zifeng’s failure to win the award was actually related to Gu Wei.

In the original version of "Better Days" starring Kong Sizi and Zhou Dongyu, Zhou Dongyu won the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards, and Kong Sizi won the Best Newcomer Award.

The reason Zhou Dongyu was able to win the award is, firstly, that her acting skills are indeed excellent, and secondly, that she has close ties with Hong Kong Island and the people behind her gave her a lot of support.

However, in the current version, Zeng Guoxiang used his connections on Gu Wei in order to please him, so Zhang Zifeng, who had no connection with him, was naturally eliminated.

Zhang Zifeng doesn't have many connections or fame in Hong Kong Island, but it's different in mainland China. From the movie "Detective Chinatown" to the TV series "Little Farewell", Zhang Zifeng is definitely the most anticipated post-00 actress in the domestic entertainment industry and is quite popular.

"Maybe we can both win the prize~"

Gu Wei couldn't help but touch Zhang Zifeng's head.

The other party didn't care and said with a smile: "That would be great."

After entering the backstage with the crew, Gu Wei saw many familiar faces, including Zhang Yi, Zhang Hanyu, and Huang Xiaoming, all of whom were competing with him for the Best Actor award.

Zhang Yi is the star of "My Country, My Parents", Zhang Hanyu is the star of "The Captain of China", and Huang Xiaoming is the star of "The Bravest".

The last nominee for Best Actor is Xiao Yang [Manslaughter].

[Mistakenly Killing] was nominated for four major awards: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Newcomer. However, as a remake, it was not nominated for Best Director, Best Film, etc., so Wen Mu simply did not come. Only Xiao Yang, Tan Chao and two newcomers were present.

After Gu Wei arrived, many celebrity artists who saw him came forward to greet him. This kind of award ceremony itself is also an occasion for celebrities to socialize.

"Gu Wei."

Wu Jing was also present, wearing a black suit and walked up to give Gu Wei a hug.

"How is Brother Jing's leg recovering?"

Wu Jing was not shortlisted this year but was present as a guest at the prize-giving ceremony.

"I'm almost well. I stayed in bed for a month after the surgery and now I've fully recovered."

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and you've only just gotten over it, right?"

"Haha, yes, but this is an old injury. Even if it heals after surgery, it won't be completely healed. Just be careful when filming next time."

Gu Wei shook his head. Given Wu Jing's personality and filming habits, it was impossible for him not to get hurt again.

"The movie you released two months ago, 'Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils', was really good. How did you come up with the idea of ​​making such a movie? It completely subverts your previous screen image. It's really cool!"

Gu Wei smiled and said, “I’ve seen a piece of news before, about Liu Huanrong, the number one killer in Taiwan in the last century.

Although this man is a brutal and ruthless top killer of the gang, he is also a vengeful person who specializes in killing gang bosses.

He also donated the money he earned from killing people to the suffering poor and orphanages, like an ancient knight-errant.

So I used him as the prototype, combined with the story of Zhou Chu eliminating the three evils, and made this movie."

Wu Jing sighed, "When I was in Hong Kong, I made a lot of gangster movies, playing both good guys and bad guys, but none of them was as refreshing and profound as [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils].

If there is a chance, we can write a script and find a Hong Kong director to shoot a similar movie."

Gu Wei smiled and shook his head: “Good scripts are hard to come by, and gangster themes are no longer popular nowadays.

In order to make a good gangster film, in addition to action and gunfights, more emphasis should be placed on brotherhood, similar to "A Better Tomorrow".

However, in the current social environment, the so-called brotherhood among gangs is destined to be swept into the garbage dump of the times.

The focus of my work [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] is also on salvation, fighting evil with evil, and there is no discussion of any righteous brotherhood.

From the perspective of today's values, gangs are bad. No matter how touching the Young and Dangerous movies are, they are now seen as a group of local scoundrels, the so-called evil forces that need to be defeated."

"You're right. The biggest problem with watching Hong Kong movies now is that the scale is too small. Moreover, the social environment is very different from that in the mainland. Their style is no longer applicable."

Wu Jing sighed.

He has been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years and is well aware of the filming habits and methods there.

Many directors in Hong Kong Island are petty no matter what subject they shoot. The most typical example is the "flying saucer hat director" Li Rengang, who films ancient wars like gang fights.

There are very few directors in Hong Kong who can really shoot big scenes like Lin Chaoxian.

"Have you learned about the Changjin Lake area? How are the preparations going?"

“The early preparations are almost done, I heard the actors and everything have been finalized.

Wait until the time comes to start filming."

Gu Wei nodded, then smiled and said, "By the way, do you have any inside information? Can I win the Best Actor award later?"

Wu Jing patted his shoulder and said unhappily, "I am the guest of the prize draw, not a judge, how can I know.

If I were in charge, I would have decided that you would be the best actor by now."
