China Entertainment's whatever you want

Xiamen is located on the southeast coast and has a southern subtropical marine monsoon climate. It has neither severe cold in winter nor scorching heat in summer. It is a famous tourist city in China.

Because of its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, it has also become a filming location for many film and television dramas.

The film "Left Ear" that Gu Wei and Alec Su collaborated on was filmed in Xiamen, and the film "The Beginning" which will be released soon was also shot here.

The organizer of the Golden Rooster Awards should have reached some cooperation agreement with the Xiamen Municipal Government, and this year has been the third consecutive year that the awards have been held in Xiamen.

At around 12 p.m. on December 30, the Straits Theatre was already surrounded by media and audiences.

Under the introduction of the off-site host, one after another, celebrity artists who are rarely seen in normal times walked onto the red carpet of the Golden Rooster Awards.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the "Above the Cliff" team led by Zhang Yimou had just finished walking, and the atmosphere around the red carpet suddenly became heated.

"Gu Wei is here! Ahhh!"

"Look here! Gu Wei, look here!

"Brother, you're so handsome!!"

"."

Accompanied by the screams of fans and the flashing of camera flashes, the crew of "Send You a Little Red Flower" walked onto the red carpet.

Director Han Yan was in the middle, with Gu Wei in a dark blue slim suit and Liu Haocun in a white swan dress on both sides. There were also several other staff members from the "Little Red Flower" crew beside them.

“.The crew of Send You a Little Red Flower is coming towards us now.

This movie, which was released last year and focuses on cancer patients, achieved remarkable box office results with its excellent quality and was loved by the audience.

Director Han Yan and the actors who played the male and female protagonists in the play, Gu Wei and Liu Haocun, were nominated for the Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress at this year's Golden Rooster Awards respectively.

The crew walked along the red carpet amid the host's introduction and the cheers of the fans, and stood on the stage at the finish line.

Several people signed their names on the autograph board, and two beautifully dressed female hosts came up to them and began to interview the crew of "Send You a Little Red Flower".

First, he asked director Han Yan a question, and then the host's attention turned to Gu Wei.

"Everyone knows that Gu Wei was the winner of the last Golden Rooster Award.

How do you feel about being nominated for Best Actor again this year? Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

Gu Wei took the microphone and said, “I’m sure you’re very happy.

I am very grateful to the Golden Rooster Awards for recognizing me and allowing me to be nominated for Best Actor again after a year.

This year, I am more relaxed than before when participating in the Golden Rooster Awards. Winning an award would be the best, but if I don’t, there is no pressure either.”

"Hao Cun, this is your first time to be nominated for the Best Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards. How do you feel about coming here today?"

Liu Haocun was standing on the other side of the director. His attention was on Gu Wei when he was speaking just now, and he was stunned when he was asked by the host.

"I'm very excited. I don't think it matters whether I can win an award or not. Just being nominated is a huge encouragement to me."

After answering the questions, everyone stood and took some photos for the media and walked into the venue along the red carpet.

"I feel like you've matured a lot after not seeing you for a while, Haocun"

After walking down the red carpet, Gu Wei smiled and said to Liu Haocun beside him.

"is it?"

Liu Haocun blinked his big deer-like eyes, obviously very happy about Gu Wei's compliment.

"Brother Wei, you are still so handsome. No matter where you go, you have the aura of a superstar!"

"Hey, I was right about you being mature. Now you've learned how to compliment others."

When Gu Wei and Liu Haocun first met, his initial impression of her was that she was naive and unworldly. Perhaps because she was always praised by people around her, the girl showed to the outside world that she had low emotional intelligence and was blindly confident.

Now it has been almost two years since the filming of "Send You a Little Red Flower". After such a long time in the entertainment industry, the other party has obviously matured a lot.

In the waiting lounge, guests who have just walked the red carpet take a break. They either sit in groups or chat with familiar friends. Usually, such occasions are a good opportunity for socializing within the circle.

The [Little Red Flower] crew was almost the last to come in, but due to Gu Wei's presence, they became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as they came in, and many familiar friends came forward to say hello.

"elder brother!"

Just as Gu Wei was chatting with a middle-aged man of short stature and plain appearance, Zhang Zifeng, wearing a black dress, came over with a smile on her face.

"Zi Feng!"

Gu Wei turned around when he heard the voice, and the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, please think about it again. I will have someone send the script to your company.

Mr. Wang will probably contact you too."

He glanced at Zhang Zifeng and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. We'll contact each other later."

Gu Wei nodded and waved to the middle-aged man.

Zhang Zifeng looked at the middle-aged man who was leaving and said, "Is this Director Tian Yusheng?

Brother, am I disturbing your business conversation?

Gu Wei looked at her with a smile: "It's okay, Director Tian just wanted to chat with me for a few minutes, it's nothing serious."

"But I heard him talking about the script and Mr. Wang before he left."

“We worked together on Ex 3 before, and now Huayi is preparing for the fourth installment and invited me to continue to star in it.

The project has just started preparations, and Director Tian happened to mention it to me when he met me today."

Zhang Zifeng suddenly realized: "The [Ex-Files] series is going to have a fourth installment!
The first two films in this series had mediocre performance and average reputation, until you, brother, participated in the third film, and then it took off. Now this IP should be one of the most profitable film series in the circle!
Do you want to continue filming?

I guess many viewers are waiting to see what new stories will happen to Meng Yun in the future."

Gu Wei shook his head: "I don't have much time, and I have no interest in continuing to shoot this series of movies.

I have just told Tian Yusheng about this."

"No wonder Director Tian asked you to reconsider it. Neither he nor the film's producers will give up easily. After all, you are the guarantee of the box office success of this series of films!"

Gu Wei smiled and said, "That can't be helped. The crew and the actors have a two-way choice. If I don't want to shoot, they can't force me to shoot, right?"

Zhang Zifeng nodded: "But if you don't act, the box office of the fourth part will probably drop significantly.

After all, when Ex 3 was released, many viewers went to the cinema because of your reputation."

Gu Wei smiled and patted Zhang Zifeng's head: "It's not as exaggerated as you say. For a movie, no actor is indispensable. The final result depends on how the filming is done.

By the way, Zifeng, I haven't congratulated you on winning the Golden Deer Award for Best Actress yet, and today you have the chance to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress again!"

At the Golden Deer Awards ceremony held in Changchun on the 25th of this month, Zhang Zifeng won the Best Actress award for her outstanding performance in My Sister. She is also a nominee for Best Actress at today's Golden Rooster Awards.

Hearing Gu Wei's praise, Zhang Zifeng smiled very happily, her eyes turned into crescent shapes, but she was still modest, "I'm just lucky.

I don’t dare to think about the Golden Rooster Award anymore. I won it last year, so the chances of me winning it again this year are too small!”

"Haha, you thought the same as I did.

I also think that being nominated this year is good enough, but it is basically impossible for me to win the award! "Gu Wei and Zhang Zifeng, the winners of last year's Golden Rooster Awards, were both nominated again this year, which sparked a lot of discussion online, with many netizens speculating whether the two could win the award again.

Of course, most netizens are not optimistic about this.

However, being nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards again is also a recognition of their abilities.

Gu Wei was chatting with Zhang Zifeng, and many people in the lounge were looking at him.

【1921】The crew's resting place.

"Sister Ni Ni, Brother Wei is here, aren't you going to say hello?"

Zhou Ye, wearing a white slim dress and looking like a little white flower, looked eager to try in the direction of Gu Wei not far away.

She was also shortlisted for this year's Golden Rooster Awards and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Yang Kaihui in 1921.

Ni Ni is the heroine of [1921]. Although she was not nominated for an award, she was invited to be the award presenter of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

Ni Ni looked at the people coming and going around Gu Wei, including actors and directors. While they were talking, Zhang Yi walked over, said a few words to Gu Wei, then dragged him in front of Zhang Yimou, and the few of them chatted with smiles.

"Forget it. Your boss is too popular in this kind of situation. I'll just go over and say hello, but I'll just interrupt their conversation."

Zhou Ye saw the situation over there and nodded.

"Brother Wei has been too busy lately, and I've also been filming a lot, so it feels like we haven't seen each other for a while.

I will definitely drag him out for dinner after today’s award ceremony.”

After saying that, she turned to look at Nini: "Sister Nini, if Brother Wei has time, you can come too."

When Nini heard the invitation, she was stunned for a moment, then she agreed with a smile.

Zhou Ye is a new female star who became famous in the circle after "Better Days". Ni Ni knew that she was an artist under Gu Wei, so she took better care of her during the filming of "1921" and the two had a good relationship.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards is actually a very special one. It has been exactly 1981 years since this award was established in 40. This year is also the 40th anniversary of the Golden Rooster Awards.

At the opening of the award ceremony, director Zhang Yimou stood on the stage and gave a speech titled "No Confusion at 40".

It tells the story of the bumpy journey of Chinese films over the past 40 years, its sad past, its current prosperous development, and its foreseeable bright future.

Afterwards, the four hosts, Lan Yu, Li Bingbing, Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming, came on stage and announced the official start of this year's Golden Rooster Awards Gala.

Because of the 40th anniversary, this year's Golden Rooster Awards was held with great fanfare, and many big stars attended, but the process remained the same, with the awards ceremony and star performances still taking place.

Liu Haocun took the stage shortly after the show started and sang the theme song of the movie "Send You a Little Red Flower" with new singer Shan Yichun.

“Not bad singing”

"Well, the sound quality is okay. The person next to her is a professional singer. The effect is so good because of their help."

In the middle of the first row of the audience, Gu Wei and Zhang Yi chatted quietly while watching Liu Haocun singing on the stage.

On Zhang Yi's side were Zhang Yimou, Yu Hewei and other members of the "On the Cliff" crew, while on Gu Wei's side were Zhang Zifeng and Xiao Yang.

Zhang Zifeng was the winner of the Golden Rooster Awards last year, and Xiao Yang has been a top star in the domestic film industry since "Dying to Survive". There will be no problem for the two of them to sit in the front row representing the "My Sister" crew.

Just now, Gu Wei and Xiao Yang chatted for a while in the lounge outside the venue.

He was nominated for this year's Best Supporting Actor for his role as Zhang Zifeng's uncle in My Sister.

In fact, Xiao Yang has not had good luck at the Golden Rooster Awards. In the year when "Dying to Survive" was released, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, but lost the Golden Rooster Award to Wang Jingchun's "So Long, My Son".

There's nothing wrong with this. Although he performed well in "Dying to Survive", Wang Jingchun is also a talented actor. His acting in "So Long, My Son" is fully worthy of a Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.

Last year, he was nominated again for "Manslaughter", but lost to Gu Wei.

He was not nominated for Best Actor this year but for Best Supporting Actor. No matter what it is, he actually wants to win a Golden Rooster Award.

Liu Haocun's performance ended and the awards continued.

After awards such as Best Editing, Best Art Direction, and Best Music were presented, the audience's most anticipated major awards began to appear.

Xiao Yang's luck remained the same at this year's Golden Rooster Awards and he still failed to win an award. The Best Supporting Actor award went to Mr. Fan Que from One Second.

Although it is a bit regrettable, losing to the team is a very normal thing and no one can find fault with it.

The crew of "My Sister" lost in the "Best Supporting Actor" award, but then made a comeback in the "Best Supporting Actress" award. Zhu Yuanyuan won this award for her role as "An Rongrong", Zhang Zifeng's aunt in the movie.

When the award winner was announced, Gu Wei also smiled and clapped. He also worked with Zhu Yuanyuan when filming "Send You a Little Red Flower", and she played his mother.

Zhu Yuanyuan is a national first-class actor and is married to Xin Baiqing.

Her ability is unquestionable, but she acted in more TV dramas in her early years, the most famous of which should be "The Happy Life of Poor Mouth Zhang Damin".

Moreover, she won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress a long time ago and is not short of honors.

While applauding, Gu Wei suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look diagonally behind him.

Zhou Ye was a little depressed when he heard the result of "Best Supporting Actress", but he quickly adjusted his mood and clapped and congratulated Zhu Yuanyuan with a smile on his face.

When she looked forward, she noticed Gu Wei's eyes looking at her. She looked at him and a bright smile appeared on her face.

After a few awards were presented, it was time for star performances.

This time, four beauties, Yao Chen, Tong Liya, Wang Likun and Guan Xiaotong, sang "As Wish" together.

This song became an instant hit after Gu Wei sang it during last year's Spring Festival Gala, and it also became the theme song for the program "My Fathers and I".

"Brother, your version is better. Didn't the organizer invite you to perform?" Zhang Zifeng asked Gu Wei while listening to the song.

"I've been invited, but I don't have time to rehearse. I just arrived in Xia City at noon today to attend the award ceremony."

As the evening progressed, the more than three-hour award ceremony quickly entered its final stage.

The grand prize that everyone is most concerned about was also officially announced.

As Gu Wei expected, neither he nor Zhang Zifeng won consecutive titles.

The Best Actor award went to Zhang Yi for On the Cliff, and the Best Actress award went to Zhang Xiaofei for I Am Not Li, Mom.

"Congratulations, Brother Yi!"

After the award was announced, Gu Wei stood up and hugged the excited Zhang Yi. Yu Hewei, who was also nominated, also hugged him with a smile.

Zhang Yi has a good character and good acting skills, and many people are happy for him for winning the award.

Compared to the open-mindedness of Gu Wei and Yu Hewei, Liu Ye, who was also a nominee, had a slightly complicated mood. Although he was also applauding, he always looked a little unwilling.

Gu Wei was the best actor last year and knew that his chances of winning were slim; Yu Hewei was also nominated for Best Actor for his role in "On the Cliff", but his role in the same movie was not as big as Zhang Yi's, so it was normal that his chances of winning were not as high as his.

But Liu Ye is different. He has high expectations for this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

His performance in "The Island Guardian" was outstanding. With his role as the island guard "Wang Jicai", he won the Best Actor award at the 17th China-US Film Festival last month, the 8th Silk Road International Film Festival this month, and the 16th China Changchun Film Festival.

At the Changchun Film Festival, also known as the Golden Deer Awards, he and Zhang Zifeng won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards respectively.

So Liu Ye was very confident about this year's Golden Rooster Awards. Now that he failed to win the award, he was naturally very disappointed. (End of this chapter)
