Chapter 825 This year's awards don't seem very optimistic
"call……"
When he woke up, He Xin raised his wrist and looked at the time, but it was only four o'clock in the afternoon. He sat up to wake up a little, then put on his slippers and walked into the bathroom to take a shower and wash himself.
Then he took care of his hair carefully. The hair he chose was slightly longer and slightly naturally curly. It was more troublesome to take care of it. If he didn't pay attention, it would look messy. This was why he preferred to keep his hair flat in the past.
reason.
But things are different now. We are all fathers, so we have to pay attention to our own image. I blow-dried my hair, put on a little gel water, combed my hair in a regular 37-part hairstyle, and applied some L'Oreal Essence on my face to refresh my skin.
dew.
Finally, he looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. The young man was still quite energetic.
I am used to seeing this face, and it seems to be almost the same as when I just traveled through the world eleven years ago. This face looked old when I was nineteen years old, but now I am thirty years old, and the years have not left many traces on my face, and my eyes are
Still clear, the only obvious change is probably that the temperament seems more calm.
"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang.
"Teacher He, you're up!"
It was Yu Dong's secretary who came, carrying an ironed dress in his hand.
At this year's Golden Horse Film Festival, Bona is also the same as in previous years. Since Dong personally leads the team, the award is not only important, but more importantly, he is interested in this platform and brings several films to be released in the Lunar New Year period to promote.
"Oh, Xiao Wang, thank you."
Although Yu Dong has some disadvantages, he is definitely not the kind of person who "works as a secretary when there is something to do, and when there is nothing to do", the Xiao Wang in front of him is a returnee from an Ivy League university in the United States, and his ability is quite outstanding.
"What are Brother Dong busy with?" He Xin asked casually.
"Director Yu and Vice President Song are having a meeting..."
After saying that, Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Mr. He, some news just came out. It is said that... well, this year's awards seem to be very pessimistic. Director Yu asked me to tell you the latest news."
It’s good to be mentally prepared in advance.”
When He Xin heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Is it possible that the actor himself has no chance? Every time before the award ceremony, all kinds of gossips fly all over the sky. Some of them are purely confusing, but sometimes there are some that are reliable. They can attract Yu Dong's attention.
It is enough to show that it is not groundless.
Although he was slightly disappointed, he still smiled and said: "It seems that Teacher Wang can finally win the award this time."
"October Siege" was a huge success at the Hong Kong Film Awards in the first half of this year, winning the Best Picture and Best Director awards in one fell swoop. However, it lost to Wang Xueqi in the competition for Best Actor.
Yam Dahua in "Thieves of Time" did not win the Best Actor Award.
Although "October Siege" won the award largely because it is a co-production between the Mainland and Hong Kong, and the director Chen Desheng is also a Hong Konger, as a mainland actor Wang Xueqi did not win the award, which seems to be in line with the usual protective attitude of the Academy Awards.
.
But speaking in good conscience, the candidates shortlisted for this Academy Award are: Yam Dahua from "The Thief of Times", Yam Dahua from "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai", Liu Heizi from "The Overheard", including Guo Tianwang from "The Murderer",
They all gave actor-level performances. Lao Wang was defeated this time. It’s hard to say that he has a shady background. Although local protectionism does exist, it seems more justified for Ren Dahua to win the actor.
Compared with this Golden Horse Award nomination, He Xin also thought that if he could not win, then the candidate for Best Actor would undoubtedly be Lao Wang. I have said it many times before, He Xin has always admired Lao Wang's acting skills, and last time he was really
It's because the script of "Wheat Field" is too bad, otherwise he really hopes to cooperate with Lao Wang once.
"Well, Teacher Wang didn't come this time."
Xiao Wang pushed up his glasses again and said hesitantly: "I was supposed to arrive yesterday, but before boarding the plane, Teacher Wang suddenly had something to do and couldn't make it."
Not coming does not mean that you will not win the award. Last year, Lao Wang was also absent because he was busy filming "October Siege", but he still won the Best Supporting Actor.
Seeing Xiao Wang's hesitant expression, He Xin thought that Lao Wang might have been delayed by the divorce lawsuit.
Before the release of "Rye Field" last year, the scandal between Pharaoh Wang and Xiao Fan was once very popular, and Pharaoh even sued some media outlets who wrote very unflattering reports about it.
At that time, the media reported on it, but in terms of the authenticity of the matter itself, they still felt that it was unreliable and more of a hype. After all, there was such a big age difference between Lao Wang and Xiao Fan, and they were even older than Xiao Fan's father.
Lao Fan is still more than ten years older.
However, in the first half of this year, news suddenly came out that Lao Wang and his wife of nearly 40 years were divorced and involved in a lawsuit. As a result, the scandal between Lao Wang and Xiao Fan was once again stirred up.
And the upcoming "The Orphan of Zhao" has contributed a lot of traffic and topics.
Although both parties involved have denied it, and Lao Wang has won the lawsuit against the media for spreading rumors, Lao Wang and Xiao Fan's love affair seems to be over. However, Lao Wang's divorce lawsuit has been stumbling and has not yet been resolved.
As for whether this is the case between Lao Wang and Xiao Fan, it’s hard to say. Maybe Xiao Fan wants to change his taste?
Besides, although Lao Wang is a lot older, he is personable and in very good health. Think about it when he was filming "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", Lao Wang was almost sixty, but he was still full of muscles, and he did all the martial arts scenes by himself.
, absolutely getting older and getting stronger.
But as for Lao Wang's divorce, it really has nothing to do with Xiao Fan. He Xin heard a lot from Yu Dong's mouth. Lao Wang's wife was a diplomat who had been working abroad for a long time and had been separated all year round. Even if his wife later
Later, he retired and returned to China and have been separated to this day. The relationship between husband and wife has long existed in name only. As for the divorce, it has been postponed until now because his father-in-law has been sick before and he is afraid of irritating the old man. In this regard, Lao Wang is pretty good.
of.
Seeing that He Xin didn't care, Xiao Wang opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything more. He temporarily changed his words and said: "Teacher He, do you want to eat something later?"
The red carpet starts at seven o'clock and will leave the hotel at six-thirty. It will definitely not be in time for a serious dinner, but it is necessary to make up for it. After all, the award ceremony that starts at eight o'clock often lasts until midnight, and then
The organizers and each company’s own celebration receptions, etc.
"Well……"
He Xin hesitated for a moment, touched his slightly bulging belly, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't eat."
During Cheng Hao's confinement period, in order to ensure adequate nutrition and milk supply, he drank all kinds of soups and liquids, and he also gained several kilograms. It was time to consider losing weight. As an actor, getting fat is a crime, unless it is
Role needs.
Before departure, he put on a black dress and a meticulous bow tie. European red carpets generally emphasize formal attire, but in China, it is more casual, and some informal people often wear casual clothes. The same goes for the Golden Horse Awards.
, although most people are in formal attire, there are also people wearing T-shirts, jackets and jeans, and some even dress up in weird outfits to impress.
But since you are here, you have to respect others. Appropriateness is very important. In a sense, he also represents the image of mainland actors.
When we arrived at the lobby on the ground floor, it was already crowded.
"Congratulations!"
"Hello, Mr. He!"
"Axin, I thought you wouldn't come!"
"Hello!"
"Uh, I just arrived at noon!"
He Xin greeted familiar and unfamiliar people all the way and came to the group where Bona had gathered.
"Brother Dong!"
"Awake?"
Yu Dong smiled and joked with him, but then said with a slightly serious face: "Did Xiao Wang tell you?"
"Yeah, I said it."
He nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay. It doesn't really matter to me whether I win or not. It's not like I haven't won this award anyway."
"That's good if you think so, but if the news this time is really accurate, then they..."
Yu Dong was just halfway through what he said when he saw the previous Best Actor Huang Bo coming over and waving to greet the two of them: "Mr. Yu! Ah Xin!"
Although Bo Ge has turned red and purple in the past year, he is still the same as before, grinning, showing his gums, and his smile is still full of affinity. It is difficult for him to trot even though he is only a few steps away.
Now Bo Ge has also set up his own studio and his own team. Compared to last year's very trendy color-blocking suit, Bo Ge is quite low-key today, wearing a small black suit with a white T-shirt underneath.
There's something casual about it.
As the last Best Actor, his mission today is the same as Li Bailian, which is to serve as an award presenter and present the Best Actress award together with Nick Cheung.
"Xiao Bo, why haven't I seen you in the past two days?" Yu Dong first said hello to Huang Bo.
He and Huang Bo came here on the same flight a few days ago.
Huang Bole said cheerfully: "We went to Sun Moon Lake and the south for a tour, and we just came back this afternoon. It's a rare trip, and I just want to take everyone on a trip."
Speaking of which, Bo Ge has become extremely popular since the release of "Racing", especially last year when he won the Golden Horse Award. He has made eight movies in two years. This time it is rare for him to take a break for himself.
At first glance, Bo Ge's dress today is quite low-key, and he doesn't even do much with his hair. But when he gets closer, he sees that the white T-shirt with folded collar is the new style of Versace this year. Sure enough, my Bo Ge has always walked
Being at the forefront of fashion, He Xin couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, Brother Bo, brand!"
Brother Bo smiled and replied: "I'm not like you, who is born with clothes and can only rely on brands to support my appearance."
See, chatting with Brother Bo makes you feel good.
After a while, the organizer's courtesy cars drove over one by one, taking the guests attending the awards ceremony to the Taoyuan Performance Center.
He Xin and Bo Ge were chatting happily, so they simply squeezed into a car.
"A Xin, you will definitely win the championship again this time, right?" Brother Bo even smiled and congratulated.
"Don't even think about winning the Best Actor Award. I hope I can win the Best Picture Award." He shook his head.
He had heard before that his best actor title might not be in the running, and what he looks forward to most now is for the film to win awards. Although the shortlisted "October Siege" has already won the Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards, the Golden Horse Awards have always supported literary and artistic films.
, the probability of "Steel Piano" winning an award is quite high. After all, regardless of the artistic level and the actors' performances, "Steel Piano" is definitely higher than the other three shortlisted local literary films from Wanwan.
One level.
"The best director may be a bit uncertain, but for best cinematography, best actor and best picture, "The Piano" definitely has hope. Maybe you can win the three Golden Horses tonight!" Bo Ge was obviously more optimistic than him.
He Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head, glanced at the driver in front of him, and lowered his voice: "According to reliable information, I will definitely be out of luck this time as the Best Actor."
"Really?" Brother Bo was stunned for a moment, looking a little incredulous, and then he came over and whispered: "So this time the Best Actor prayed to Wang Xue? No, I didn't see anyone else!"
"No one's here, but we're probably close to each other."
Yu Dong only said half of what he said just now, but he always believed that if he couldn't win the best actor this time, then it would definitely be Lao Wang. The other two...unless there was a shady plot!
"Teacher Wang won the award... well, it is well deserved."
Brother Bo nodded, looked at his face specifically and said with a smile, "You won't be angry if I say that, right?"
He Xin rolled his eyes at him: "Is this the first day you met me?"
Bo Ge suddenly showed his gums again and gestured with his hands: "Actually, I also really like Teacher Wang's performance. Not to mention that our generation grew up watching Teacher Wang's movies, especially "Heaven and Earth"
The Mr. An he played in "Heroes"... Tsk, it's really amazing!"
It is also said that starting from the early 1980s, Lao Wang starred in "Yellow Earth", "Military Parade", "Wanted", "Codename Jaguar", and even "Phoenix Piano" and "Lanling King" in the early 1990s.
"It is almost the memory of a generation.
The co-directors include Director Chen, Guo Shi, Teng Wenji, Huang Jianxin, Mi Jiashan, Jiang Wen, etc. are all famous directors of the generation.
The car stopped and went. After about ten minutes, the car stopped at the waiting area at the entrance of the exhibition center. A long red carpet extended from the entrance of the exhibition center to a temporary arch next to the waiting area.
There is also a small stage and a huge background wall in the middle.
At this time, stars were already stepping onto the red carpet one after another. The presenters were two local variety show hosts and drama actors known as buffoons in Wanwan. One of them, whose stage name is "Natto", congratulated her at the last Golden Horse Awards.
There is still a new connection.
Throughout the 1990s and the first decade of the new century, variety shows in Wanwan were very developed. There is also a saying here that "Wanwan movies are dead, and Wanwan has many variety shows and news and political commentary programs."
"Hello, brother!"
"Director Hong, do you mind if I call you big brother?"
The two most famous brothers from the Seven Little Blessings also came to the Golden Horse Awards ceremony today.
The eldest brother is, of course, the Macrosaurus. He is the presenter today and will present the most important Best Picture Award.
The eldest brother is Hong Jinbao, another man who is said to be related to Fan Xiaopang. As the action director of "Ip Man 2" and "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven", he alone occupies the two best action design spots.
Nominate.
Today, as agreed upon by the two senior fellow apprentices, both are wearing Chinese attire.
Nowadays, a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers are moving north. These two have very close ties with the mainland film industry. Although He Xin has never worked with them, he has met them several times on different occasions and is considered familiar. More importantly, He Xin is not
Not only is he an actor, he is also the boss of a well-known film company. These two people are naturally very enthusiastic about him.
They were also surrounded by the second son of the Huang family, Feng Pengtong, Xu Fan, Li Bailian and other members of the Chinese Art Department.
"Xiao He, after the award ceremony, we have a cocktail party here. You must be rewarded then!"
The second oldest member of the Huang family saw He Xin's enthusiastic invitation and said as if to show off: "The two eldest brothers, as well as Director Li Yu and Director Hou Xiaoxian will all attend!"
"I'm honored, thank you Mr. Huang."
Of course, He Xin couldn't lose face in public, so he accepted it happily without saying anything serious.
Today, Li Bailian and Xu Fan's outfits are eye-catching. Li Bailian's sloping-shoulder blue sequined evening dress will definitely kill a large number of local female stars in the scene; while Xu Fan is wearing a nude deep V dress with a broken
The diamond and ruby necklace looks elegant and luxurious, and she is completely different from the aunt who came on the same flight in the morning.
But really speaking, the aunt is Lu Lipin, one of the finalists for Best Actress. Her pure white dress makes her look even more bloated.
The artistic young woman in "Story of the Editorial Office" back then became an aunt in the blink of an eye. And Uncle Ge, who had a relationship with her but didn't have a relationship with her, is still able to fall in love with a beauty like Shu Qi. It's really a bit mind-boggling to think about it.
Sad.
Her husband had just had a scolding battle with his pants not long ago, but now she and Xu Fan were having a good chat.
It's just that Director Feng, who was in a very happy mood when he came in the morning, now looks a little gloomy.
Just as He Xin was about to step forward to say hello, he heard a voice from behind calling him: "Brother... uh, Brother Xin!"
