The Crown Prince of Huayu!

After returning to China, the first thing Han Jiadong did was to register his child.

The process went smoothly. After presenting the relevant documents, the two children were registered under his and Tong Yi's names.

It wasn't smooth because he was Han Jiadong. In fact, because he was Han Jiadong, the process was a little troublesome. If it were an ordinary person, he would not be examined as carefully as he was.

On the evening after the child’s household registration was completed, Han Sanpin, who had just returned from get off work, called him to the study.

“What do you think of the Hall of Fame members?”

Han Jiadong was surprised: "You haven't decided on the candidate yet, right?"

You know, it has been four months, or more than a hundred days, since the selection of Hall of Fame members began.

Han Sanpin sighed with a headache: "At present, nine places have been confirmed, and the last one has not been confirmed yet."

"Which nine?"

"The first ones confirmed were you, Zhang Yimou, Li An, Zhang Manyu, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xun, and Zhang Ziyi."

"Ah."

Han Jiadong nodded. If he were to choose, these few would be selected without any controversy.

The three people who were selected as directors, myself, Zhang Yimou, and Li An, even if we don't look at domestic awards, just looking at the achievements of the three major European awards and the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, are enough to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The same goes for Zhang Manyu. She won two of the three major European Film Actress awards, plus five Hong Kong Film Awards and four Golden Horse Awards. Even if most of them were won before the millennium, they are enough for her to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Liang Chaowei is similar to Zhang Manyu, having won one Cannes Best Actor award, five Hong Kong Film Awards, and three Golden Horse Awards.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi are the only two who have won three gold medals.

Among them, Zhou Xun is only one step away from completing the double grand slam with a Best Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In the selection criteria, where awards carry the most weight, these seven are indeed the most undisputed.

"Who are the remaining two?"

Han Jiadong asked.

Han Sanpin did not answer but asked, "Who do you think it is?"

Han Jiadong thought for a moment: "Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow?"

These two may lack the honors, but their influence is too great. If they are not selected, the credibility of the Hall of Fame will be questioned.

Han Sanpin nodded, "Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow were both chosen after a long debate, especially Stephen Chow. Jackie Chan has one Golden Rooster Award, two Golden Horse Awards, and he also won the Best Picture Award as a director. Although his honors are far behind you, he has met the minimum standards. His international influence is also the greatest before you. It's okay for him to be selected, but Stephen Chow...

There is definitely no problem with influence and box office, but in terms of awards, as an actor, he only won one Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards after the millennium. As a director, he did win two Best Picture Awards, one Best Director Award at the Academy Awards, one Best Picture Award at the Golden Horse Awards, and one Best Director Award at the Golden Horse Awards, which meets the minimum standards. But compared to you three directors, even compared to Wang Jiawei, he is far behind. In addition, the number of places is getting smaller and smaller, and it took a long time to decide.

Now there is only one spot left, and the candidates include Wang Jiawei, Andy Lau, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhang Hanyu... Oh, by the way, Feng Xiaogang, who just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, now meets the minimum requirements.

If we count by honors, Wang Jiawei is the most outstanding one, but three directors have already been selected, including Stephen Chow, there are four directors, plus there are already four from Hong Kong, so if we choose him..."

Han Sanpin shook his head and continued, "If Wang Jiawei is not chosen, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, and Feng Xiaogang must also be excluded. Andy Lau from Hong Kong must also be postponed. However, after excluding Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, and Feng Xiaogang, the mainland candidates are only Ge You, Liu Ye, and Zhang Hanyu. Among them, Liu Ye and Zhang Hanyu both have one Golden Horse Award and one Golden Rooster Award, which just meet the minimum standard, but have almost no influence. Ge You has one Cannes Award and one Golden Rooster Award before the millennium. Strictly speaking, he does not meet the minimum standard. He has to split the Cannes Award into one and a half and add it to the Golden Rooster Award to get two golds.

So now some people support Jay Chou to be selected as a singer, but if you want to select singers, why not Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Guorong, and Alan Tam?"

Han Sanpin seems to be unable to stop talking about it. It can be seen that he has been troubled by this matter for the past few months.

Han Jiadong was also quite troubled to see him, or rather, the people involved in the selection did not want more people from Hong Kong to be selected than from the mainland.

Because whether it is actors or directors, there is really no one in the mainland who can surpass Andy Lau and Wang Jiawei.

The situation in Taiwan is similar.

After thinking for a long time, he finally set his sights on Han Sanpin.

"What's wrong? Have you thought of a suitable candidate?" Han Sanpin asked curiously.

Han Jiadong shook his head: "You have been choosing for so long and still haven't chosen one, what other suitable candidates can I have?"

After talking with his father, he took the time to call Ren Zhonglun.

"Uncle Ren, I heard that there is still one candidate for your Hall of Fame that has not been decided yet?"

"Yeah! We've been arguing about this for months."

Ren Zhonglun's tone was similar to Han Sanpin's, and he asked again: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Han Jiadong thought about it and said, "How is my dad?"

"Your father?"

Ren Zhonglun was puzzled at first, then he was overjoyed: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it? Since the actors and directors can be selected, why can't Lao Han be selected for his great contribution to the film?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Ren, for this matter."

"What trouble? This is already a headache for us."

……

Results the next day.

"You were the one who gave Lao Ren the idea, right?"

Still in the study, Han Sanpin looked at his son helplessly.

Han Jiadong did not deny it: "I just made a suggestion."

Then he asked curiously, "Has the proposal been passed?"

"Even if I pass, can I still have the nerve to get myself a Hall of Fame?"

Han Sanpin glared at Han Jiadong unhappily.

Han Jiadong wondered: "Why not?"

"I set the standard myself, and then I broke it myself. How can that be?"

Han Sanpin shook his head and asked, "Do you know about the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai?"

"Ah."

"I want to get myself into the Hall of Fame. Those who come after me will also try to get themselves into the Hall of Fame, no matter if they have achievements or not."

After hearing what his father said, Han Jiadong had no choice but to give up.

Later, seeing that his father was still worried about this, he suggested: "Since we really can't find a suitable person and don't want to give another quota to Hong Kong, why not leave the last quota vacant? After all, didn't we say from the beginning that it's better to have nothing than to have something that is not good enough? This can also be regarded as a model for the future. There will be three quotas every year in the future. It was okay in the first few years, and there was no shortage of candidates. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get three people in the future."

Han Sanpin thought about it and sighed: "Alas! This is the only way."

……

……

a few days later.

The first class of inductees into the Hall of Fame has been officially announced.

Han Jiadong, Li An, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Manyu, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow
All the selected candidates put aside their current tasks, attended the press conference, and delivered their acceptance speeches.

Even Zhang Manyu, who has not appeared in public for a long time, is no exception.

However, the authorities did not adopt the excuse of "better to have nothing than to have something unqualified" regarding the fact that there was one less vacancy than the previously agreed ten.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that be equivalent to classifying all those who were not selected as “rotten”?

Moreover, if Wang Jiawei and Andy Lau are selected next year and they don’t win any new awards during this period, wouldn’t that be tantamount to slapping themselves in the face?

That is why the official explanation in the end was that in order to highlight the difficulty of the Hall of Fame and to demonstrate its supreme glory, only nine people were finally chosen.

After the news was announced, it unsurprisingly caused heated discussions online again.

"What's going on? Liu Yifei and Jay Chou weren't selected?"

"It's impossible to be selected!"

"Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi were selected, but Andy Lau and Lin Qingxia were not? Why?"

"He won a Grand Slam, what award did you get?" "Xia Yu and Liao Fan are the three best actor winners in Europe, and they weren't even selected?"

"Go to the front line first and then discuss!"

"Who else could have won Chen Kaige the Palme d'Or and the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film except Han Jiadong? And he was not selected?"

"Don't bring up something that's just from one movie."

"Han Jiadong is awesome!"

"It's quite reasonable. All nine of them were in my predictions. The last one I predicted was Andy Lau, who has won the Hong Kong Film Award three times and the Golden Horse Award twice. His popularity and influence are not weak either. However, he is indeed not as good as the others on the list. It's understandable that he was not selected. He should be selected next year."

"Haha! Finally there's no more traffic."

"When will the exhibition hall be completed? I really want to check in there."

"Deserved!!!"

"Congratulations!!!"

……

……

When Han Jiadong was in China, he spent less time with Tong Yi than when he was abroad.

On the one hand, there are other people in the country to accompany Tong Yi.

On the other hand, Han Jiadong has to accompany other people.

After meeting Tong Liya, Yang Mi and Nazha in the capital, he went to the Magic City.

Liu Yifei is also promoting "A Moment in the Universe" in North America.

The movie has been released for more than a week, with box office revenue of over 40 million in North America and over 20 million overseas.

Among all the movies directed by Han Jiadong, this one is considered to have performed poorly.

But compared to its cost of more than 20 million, it has already paid off.

And the word of mouth is very good, with a Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating of 96%, a popcorn index of 90%, and an IMDB score of 8.8.

In comparison, when "Avatar" was released that year, its Rotten Tomatoes rating was only 83% and its IMBD rating was 7.9.

Obviously, the setting of multiple worlds and multiple clones in "The Blink of an Eye" is not new in fantasy novels, but North American movie fans like it very much and find it full of freshness.

Magic City.

"Youchu, I'm sorry!"

Su Mei clasped her hands together and apologized to Yu Youchu.

Yu Youchu looked at her strangely: "Why apologize?"

Su Mei said with a guilty conscience and a bit of awkwardness: "Well, I agreed to date Lu Jiang."

Yu Youchu was still confused: "What is there to apologize for?"

"We clearly agreed before that we would be single together."

"Is that why?"

"besides……"

Su Mei looked at Yu Youchu and took a deep breath, then said, "I know that Lu Jiang actually likes you, and he was with me just to be close to you, but I still couldn't help but agree to him."

Yu Youchu shook his head: "That's his business. You don't need to apologize to me. Just don't regret it."

“I don’t know if I’ll regret it.”

Su Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head, then looked at Yu Youchu: "Youchu, you are not young anymore, but you still haven't met the right person?"

Yu Youchu immediately thought of Han Jiadong, but quickly shook his head.

Seeing her like this, Su Mei didn't ask any more questions.

Wait until the two separate.

Remembering some information that Liu Sisi had accidentally revealed some time ago, Yu Youchu took out his cell phone and found Liu Sisi's number.

Since meeting Liu Sisi at Han Jiadong's residence last year, the two would occasionally chat on the phone and have dinner together when they have time.

After confirming that Yu Youchu knew Han Jiadong's wife, Liu Sisi even offered to exchange the information she knew about Han Jiadong's other women for the information Yu Youchu knew about Han Jiadong's wife.

Although Yu Youchu refused, she learned from Liu Sisi's words that Han Jiadong had other women besides Tong Yi.

After learning the news, she was initially incredulous. She couldn't imagine that the perfect idol in her friend's mind would actually be...

At that moment, she suddenly felt disappointed with Han Jiadong.

It's obvious that the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

What kind of person Han Jiadong is has nothing to do with her.

Afterwards, the idea of ​​exploring that strange dream came to her mind again.

Before, because she knew that Han Jiadong was Tong Yi's husband, she worked part-time for Tong Yi and became a good friend of Tong Yi.

Even though I really wanted to continue exploring the mystery of that strange dream, I could only suppress some bad thoughts in my heart.

But when she found out that Han Jiadong had other women besides Tong Yi, her thoughts began to stir again.

"Hello, I'm Yu Youchu."

After the call was connected, Yu Youchu introduced himself first.

Liu Sisi was surprised: "It's rare that you would take the initiative to call me."

"Well, I want to ask you about Han Jiadong. Is it convenient for you now?"

Yu Youchu didn't beat around the bush.

Liu Sisi was even more surprised. She glanced at Han Jiadong who was sitting opposite her and smiled even brighter: "It's convenient!"

Then he reported the address to Yu Youchu.

Wait until she hangs up the phone.

"Your friend is coming?"

Han Jiadong could only vaguely hear a woman's voice. He didn't hear clearly what they said, nor could he determine who was calling based on the faint and distorted voice.

Liu Sisi nodded: "Yeah."

Han Jiadong was puzzled now. From what Liu Sisi had just said, the other party almost never took the initiative to contact her, which meant that their relationship was probably not very close.

As a result, I finally got to see her, but she actually allowed someone who was not so close to her to disturb me?

"Do I need to avoid it?"

"Need not."

Liu Sisi's smile was even more malicious.

Han Jiadong asked tentatively: "Do I know the person who is coming?"

"You should know him."

"star?"

"No."
