It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 157: Targeting from the Xiang family!The Academy Awards with a sudden change of painting style!
After standing in the hall for a while and chatting with major film and television companies, directors, actors, etc. from the mainland, Chen Fei finally waited for Zhou Xingchi, who was belatedly arriving.

"Director Zhou, long time no see."

"It's been a long time indeed. I heard you won the Golden Bear. Congratulations."

"Tonight's golden statue..."

The exchange between the two was very brief. Even if Chen Fei wanted to chat more with Zhou Xingchi, he would soon be terminated by the other party.

It's not that he stopped intentionally, it's just that his way of communicating is very special and he doesn't follow the topic of conversation like a normal person.

Helpless, Chen Fei had no choice but to give up.

Ever since "Kung Fu" was released, Chen Fei has rarely heard about Zhou Xingchi.

He seems to have completely disappeared, and there are no longer rumors in the circle that he has any new filming plans, but from time to time he will be photographed hanging out on a bicycle with friends on a street.

Looking at his back walking towards the lounge from a distance, Chen Fei murmured: "I hope you can live a happier life for the rest of your life."

After all, I had fallen in love with him crazily. Even though it was indeed difficult to accept the other person's character after real contact, Chen Fei still chose to respect his behavior.

Everyone has a different way of dealing with society, and this is his personal right.

The organizers are already arranging the red carpet sequence. As the film with the most nominations this year, the crew of "Kung Fu" is scheduled to appear in the finale.

In the evening, Chen Fei and Zhou Xingchi took a car together and arrived at the venue where the award ceremony was held.

Hong Kong Coliseum.

There were already huge crowds of people on both sides of the red carpet. In addition to fans, there were many reporters on both sides.

Chen Fei looked around and even spotted a lot of paparazzi who had been following him around recently.

Today, they all appeared on both sides of the red carpet with cameras!
Paparazzi?reporter?
Silly can't tell!
...

Currently on the red carpet are members of the cast of "Dark Night in Mong Kok".

Er Dongsheng took the lead, followed by Zhang Baizhi, Fang Zhongxin, and Wu Yanzu, who was slightly less handsome than Chen Fei.

Waiting quietly for them to disappear at the entrance of the venue, the business car carrying Chen Fei and Zhou Xingchi picked up and came to the edge of the red carpet.

"The next person to appear is the crew of "Kung Fu". Let us welcome Zhou Xingchi and Golden Bear Award-winning director Chen Fei..."

The moment he heard the introduction, Chen Fei frowned slightly.

Did the host come in through the back door?

Obviously the director is Zhou Xingchi, but why do you want to win a Golden Bear Award for no reason?
If this spreads out, might he be known as disrespectful to "Master Star" and steal the limelight on the red carpet?
Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly felt a little annoyed.

He was certain that the red carpet host did this on purpose!
After staying in Hong Kong Island for nearly a month, he can clearly feel that the situation of seniority in this place is very serious!
Just like making a movie, if it's in the Mainland, it must be the director and producer who have the final say.

But it's different here. If there is a senior actor with very seniority and seniority in a crew, even if he only appears as an actor, he can still lose his temper in the crew and even demand changes to the script!
To survive in such a place, especially as a host, you must know what's right!
But in the introduction just now, it was obvious that the other party was deliberately provoking trouble!

"So, is this guy targeting me? Or is he targeting Zhou Xingchi?"

With doubts in mind, Chen Fei came to the signature wall and took a deep look at the male host.

He had to write this person down and ask Yang Shoucheng to find out what this guy was up to.

Just as I was thinking about it, the host had already started the interview.

What made Chen Fei even more unhappy was that the No. 1 person interviewed by this guy was not Stephen Chow, the director of "Kung Fu", but him!
"Director Chen, I heard that you are currently on the set of "Slaying the Wolf"..."

Before he finished speaking, Stephen Chow, who was standing in front of the signature wall, turned around and left without giving the host any face.

"Brave enough!"

Chen Fei secretly praised him, turned around, and followed closely, but he also didn't give the host a good look.

I don’t care if the demon in the small temple is strong, but do you want to blow it on my buddy?

Do you match?
Seeing that the two main players had left, the others following them subconsciously looked at each other and followed them into the main venue.

For a moment, the flashing lights on both sides of the red carpet were as bright as day.

Excited expressions appeared on the faces of reporters and paparazzi. They never expected that this was just a red carpet ceremony and that such a big fuss would occur!

Some reporters have even written the headlines for tomorrow's newspapers.

[During the Hong Kong Film Awards red carpet interview, Zhou Xingchi refused to be interviewed, his face darkened, and he walked away, leaving the mainland director alone with an embarrassed and overwhelmed face. 】

...

Quickly catching up with Zhou Xingchi, Chen Fei was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by the other party, "I'm sorry for causing trouble for you. This is all for me."

"Ok?"

"I turned down many people's investment in "Kung Fu"."

In an instant, Chen Fei suddenly realized.

No wonder!It turns out someone has pinkeye!
"Xiang Huaqiang? Yongsheng Film Company?"

"Um???"

Zhou Xingchi, who was striding ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around with a shocked look on his face, "Be careful what you say and do!!!"

When he said this, his eyes kept glancing around.

Chen Fei didn't lower his voice when he spoke just now. It is estimated that many people heard it.

Zhou Xingchi frowned, secretly worried about Chen Fei.

The Xiang family has huge power in Hong Kong Island, and he can barely withstand it, but Chen Fei...

"Ha ha!"

The sudden laughter made Zhou Xingchi's face startled.

He turned his head subconsciously and saw the young man in front of him smiling happily.

Before he could recover, he heard Chen Fei say word by word: "Master Xing, I'm from the mainland. No matter how long his hands are, he can't reach my head."

To be honest, the conflict between Xiang Jia and Zhou Xingchi actually had nothing to do with him at all.

But Xiang Jiaqian should not have done anything wrong. He actually wanted to use Chen Fei's name on the red carpet to suppress Zhou Xingchi!
Is Yongsheng a piece of shit?
Even if your Xiangjia covers the sky with one hand on Hong Kong Island, is it possible that you can still reach into the mainland?

So what if it reaches inland?

At this time, Chen Fei was no longer the stupid young man on the set of "Hero".

...

Zhou Xingchi opened his mouth subconsciously, as if he wanted to say something, but Chen Fei stepped forward and hugged his shoulders.

"Let's go and collect the award first."

Under the guidance of the staff, the two people quickly arrived at the third row in the middle of the auditorium.

Tonight's host is also a man and a woman.

Zheng Yuling, Zheng Danrui.

They are all seasoned in the Hong Kong film and television industry. All kinds of jokes and jokes come out of their mouths, and from time to time they will pop out a couple of dirty jokes.

Chen Fei keenly noticed that many people frequently looked at him and Zhou Xingchi.

What happened on the red carpet cannot be concealed, and even the words he just said appeared word for word in the ears of many people.

"Ding dong... ding dong... ding dong..."

The text messages kept ringing.

"White Dragon Horse" is not well-known, and it is difficult to find his place after being wronged, but who is Chen Fei?
Golden Bear Award director, Golden Horse director, Hundred Flowers Best Actor, billionaire commercial film director...

Standing behind him was not just one company, but all the film and television companies in the entire mainland!

……

After a flurry of gags, the awards ceremony officially began.

That is to say, Chen Fei specially invited them, otherwise Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun might not come over.

When Hong Kong movies were popular, the gold content of the Academy Awards was quite high, and the quality of the films was rising every year.

But with the subsequent development, many mainland film and television companies and actors gradually discovered that the Hong Kong Film and Television Awards are just for the Hong Kong film and television industry's own entertainment.

If you go to the Golden Horse Awards, you might win a few consolation prizes, but if you come to the Academy Awards, you will definitely get nothing!

Instead of being a companion, it would be better to stay at home and sleep with your wife in your arms.

However, this year seems to be a little special!
After the awards for Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Film Song, and Best Costume Design were announced, Zheng Yuling took advantage of the situation and began to announce the next award.

"What will be announced next is the Best Action Design Award..."

coming!

Chen Fei straightened up slightly, with a trace of expectation on his face.

There were four people competing with him on the same stage.

Yuan Kui's "The Great War in Huadu", Qian Jiale's "Mongkok Night", Yuan Bin's "Judo Dragon and Tiger List", and Li Zhongzhi's "New Police Story".

These people are all powerful, and they can be regarded as the best group of people active in the martial arts instructor field in Hong Kong Island today.It's a pity that what they met was "Kung Fu", Chen Fei, and the Emperor!

Zheng Yuling's face remained unchanged on the stage, and she announced with a smile: "Let us congratulate Chen Fei for winning the Best Action Design Award at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards."

Nothing changes in the results.

Standing up with a smile, Chen Fei first hugged Zhou Xingchi, who had a complicated expression next to him, and then gently hugged him again when he passed by Yang Shoucheng.

At this moment, at least two-thirds of the people in the audience changed their expressions.

The best action design award went to Chen Fei?A mainland director?

What does this mean?
The Academy Awards are about to change!

"Thanks to "Kung Fu" and director Zhou Xingchi. In fact, martial arts coaching is the stepping stone for me to enter the film and television industry, but I didn't expect that I have only been recognized so far..."

The acceptance speech was quite satisfactory and contained no personal information.

When he came off the stage, Chen Fei keenly noticed a sharp look coming from the right side of the auditorium.

He subconsciously looked sideways and saw brothers Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, the two founders of Yongsheng Film Company, looking at him with a hint of coldness.

Chen Fei didn't pay attention at all, he just smiled at the two of them and went straight back to the auditorium.

He was somewhat looking forward to it. Could the two Xiang brothers prevent him from leaving Hong Kong?

...

Soon, with the announcement of the Best Action Design Award, the tense and exciting award phase officially entered.

As soon as he returned to his seat, Chen Fei didn't even cover his stool when he heard a powerful voice coming from the stereo.

"Best Actress, Zhang Ziyi in "2046"!"

Huh?
After being stunned for a moment, he turned his head to look to the right with curiosity on his face.

I saw Zhang Baizhi, who was nominated for Best Actress for "Mongkok Night", with a look of astonishment on her face.

She even raised her butt halfway, waiting to receive the award, but she didn't expect that this would happen in the end!

Although "2046" is also a Hong Kong film, Zhang Ziyi is a mainland actress. Is there no reason to award the Best Actress Award to her?
What happened at the Academy Awards tonight?
Could it be that the weather just changed from sunny to thundery showers?

At the same time, as the winner of Best Actress, Zhang Ziyi herself was a little stunned!

who am I?
where am I?
what happened?

To be honest, before she came to participate in the Academy Awards, she had no idea that she would win the award. She just came here to increase her reputation.

After all, it is what everyone considers an "international chapter". It must bloom in the three places across the Taiwan Strait and abroad.

But this best actress...

It came so unexpectedly!
However, Zhang Ziyi reacted quickly. Since they were willing to award the award, she would go up and receive it.

Who would think there are too many awards?
So, under the eyes of many people who couldn't believe it, Zhang Ziyi gracefully stepped onto the podium and took over the gold statue trophy from the judges.

"Thank you to the judges of the Academy Awards, director Wang Jiawei, and the crew of "2046"..."

On the stage, Zhang Ziyi said a speech of thanks that she thought of at the last minute, while off the stage, Chen Fei couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face.

He finally saw that he really couldn't handle the Academy Awards!
The decline of Hong Kong films is obvious to all. If the Hong Kong Film Awards continue to rest on its laurels, it won’t be long before there will be very few big names participating.

If we don’t embrace the mainland quickly at this time, it will really be ruined!

...

The awards are still going on.

In the Best Actor award, professional actor Tony Leung Chiu-wai defeated Zhou Xingchi, Fang Zhongxin, Wu Yanzu, and Chen Lung to win the award again.

Seeing many people around him giving him warm applause, Chen Fei was filled with emotion.

"The road is far away to know the horse power, and the time is to see the people's hearts. Whether the butt is sitting crookedly or not, time will naturally prove everything."

With Tony Leung Chiu-wei stepping down, the two final categories of Best Director and Best Film have come to be announced.

"The winner of the Best Director Award at the 24th Academy Awards is Er Dongsheng's "Mongkok Night"!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Er Dongsheng, but Chen Fei focused on Zhou Xingchi beside him.

The producer of "Mong Kok Dark Night" is Universal Film Distribution Co., Ltd. It was this company that helped Zhou Xingchi during his most difficult time.

Unfortunately, after "Shaolin Soccer" was released, the two parties started fighting in court again in 03 due to copyright issues.

Former partners eventually became enemies again. How many entanglements are there?
Sure enough, although the expression on Zhou Xingchi's face was very calm, Chen Fei could still see his disappointment from some small movements.

Here in Hong Kong, he has suddenly become the target of exclusion by major film and television companies.

Even though "Kung Fu" was nominated for so many awards, there were only a few real awards.

However, no matter how strong the ostracism is and how much black material there is, the fans and audiences don't pay attention to it.

The word "Master Xing" is an impregnable golden body from beginning to end!

...

Soon, as Er Dongsheng returned to his seat, Liang Chaowei and Zhang Baizhi, who were the presenters on the stage, began to announce the last award:
"The winner of the Best Film Award at the 24th Academy Awards is Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu"!"

clap clap clap!
Thunderous applause instantly resounded throughout the venue, as if it was about to overturn the entire venue!
Chen Fei glanced back. Most of the people applauding were the movie fans. As for the people from the film and television companies, although they also raised their hands, most of them were very perfunctory.

For a moment, four words popped into his mind.

Struggling!

"Director Zhou, congratulations."

"Thank you, you have a part in this."

It's rare. This should be regarded as the only true expression of Zhou Xingchi's true feelings in this Academy Awards ceremony.

"Thank you to the National Film Administration of China... thank you to the conference, thank you!"

The speech was very brief, but it felt deafening in Chen Fei's ears!

Stephen Chow's character may have flaws, but in terms of patriotism, he is definitely No. 1 among Hong Kong actors!

"This may be one of the reasons why he was ostracized."

...

After the awards are over, the next step is the celebration reception.

A staff member came over to invite Chen Fei to the stage, but he refused.

What's so good about wine?The most important thing is to sign the contract first!
Half an hour later, the four parties who had sorted out all the contract documents gathered in a reception room of the Peninsula Hotel.

Han Sanping represents China Film, Ren Zhonglun represents Shanghai Film, Yang Shoucheng represents Emperor, Chen Fei represents Feiyue Film and Television...

Witnessed by their lawyers, the four signed a cooperation share agreement on "Ip Man".

After the contract was signed, Han Sanping suddenly turned around and looked at the lawyer behind Chen Fei who was holding a briefcase.

"Hey? Your leather bag company has finally started hiring?"

Hearing this, Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Stop teasing me. I really don't understand running a company. If it weren't for Su Guohai, I would have to borrow a lawyer from China Film for this contract."

"Hahaha……"

Several people around were laughing.

But then, while several major investors were present, Yang Shoucheng began to confirm issues related to film production.

Director, male and female protagonists, villains, supporting roles...

These all need to be confirmed by several investors.

Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun said nothing, but focused their attention on Chen Fei at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Yang Shoucheng was suddenly surprised!
Good guy, the heads of the two largest and second largest film companies in the Mainland are not even prepared to exercise their right to speak?
However, before he could recover from the shock, he heard Chen Fei say: "First of all, you must not use controversial actors, such as the one named Xie."

"it is good……"

The corner of Yang Shoucheng's mouth twitched, and he felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.

What a great opportunity, but it was abruptly ended by Nicholas Tse himself. He couldn't stay in the film and television industry any longer, so Yang Shoucheng was going to send him to try out in the music industry.

"You can take care of the rest by yourself. Anyway, let's exclude Li Lianjie and Chen Dong as the main actors. These two are too expensive and we can't afford them. I think Donnie Yen is good, you can go find him.

Then the most important point is to invite Ip Man's descendants and assign him any position to prevent subsequent quarrels. "

"Okay." Yang Shoucheng continued to nod.

However, at this moment, Han Sanping on the side suddenly frowned.

Inexplicably, he thought of "Fearless", which was being filmed recently. They had never thought of inviting descendants of the Huo family. Moreover, the movie was already halfway shot, so it seemed too late to invite them.

What's more, whether you invite or not... it shouldn't make any difference, right?
