The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 718 I want to stand and make money!

After the shortlist was announced, it immediately became a hot topic.

As soon as fans saw that their idols were nominated, they started promoting them online.

In a hotel in Shanghai, Lin Shuo was browsing Weibo with his secondary account.

This time, he was nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actor. He had already won this award once, so it didn't matter to him.

Anyway, he has already established good connections behind the scenes, and a movie starring him will be released this year. No matter how he performs, he must get a nomination for Best Actor.

As for whether he can win the Best Actor award in the end, it depends on his ability.

Even if the Golden Dragon Award pie is divided up again, it is impossible for an actor with a very poor performance to win the award.

Lin Shuo glanced at the shortlist and laughed out loud.

"He was nominated for Best Actor, but not for Best Film or Best Director. He deserves it!"

Lin Shuo has always been unhappy with Xu Ye, and this time he finally saw Xu Ye fall.

The Best Film Award and the Best Director Award are also very important to Xu Ye. The former is a recognition of the film, and the latter is a recognition of his identity as a director.

Obviously, the judges of the Golden Dragon Awards may allow Xu Ye to be nominated for Best Actor based on the data, but will not allow Xu Ye to be nominated for Best Film and Director.

Naturally, some people on the Internet asked why Xu Ye’s film was not shortlisted for these two awards, and the Golden Dragon Award officials quickly responded.

"The shortlist was carefully selected by the 50 judges of the Golden Dragon Awards according to the selection rules. We have to consider many factors in the selection of films, and box office and voting are only one of them."

The official response is a bunch of nonsense. It seems to have said everything, but also seems to have said nothing.

After seeing this result, the patients didn't care.

"Three minutes of silence for the Golden Dragon Award!"

"The Huayin Award is still fresh in my mind, and I want to try for the Golden Dragon Award as well."

"No buddy, why are you messing with him for no reason?"

"After following this process, I really can't find any fault with it. It just depends on whether the dean will go or not."

"I just want to watch the fun!"

Lin Shuo was browsing the online discussions and said disdainfully, "The film industry and the music industry are very different!"

The film industry is extremely complex and the interests involved are far beyond what you can compare to the music industry.

A song can be written by one person, but a movie involves multiple interests from project establishment to final release.

Xu Ye may offend the Huayin Award, but he absolutely dare not offend the Golden Dragon Award!
He has to come to this award ceremony even if he doesn't want to!

After all, Xu Ye is still a newcomer in the film industry.

The idea of ​​the Golden Dragon Award jury is also very simple. Xu Ye came once when the Golden Dragon Awards was held before, so this can be considered a connection. You must come the second time as well.

After the shortlist was announced, the Golden Dragon Award sent Xu Ye an invitation to the film festival and even posted a picture of the invitation on its official Weibo account.

The Golden Dragon Award has also learned its lesson. They are also afraid that there will be some misunderstandings at that time.

When Xu Ye received the invitation letter for the Golden Dragon Award, he received a call from Hu Jinping.

"Xu Ye, if you just say you won't go, I won't go either. It's obvious that you're planning to share the award." Hu Jinping said angrily.

The average audience will not pay attention to some of the details in the awards, but will just glance at who is nominated for each individual award.

Hu Jinping knew the ins and outs of this, and his solution was very simple: just put all the awards out there and mark the names of the movies.

Then you will find that the nominated films are distributed very evenly, every movie has won an award, and most of the actors have also won awards or been nominated, and everyone is happy.

As for Xu Ye, there is a high probability that he will be a runner-up in the end.

What he said is reasonable. The nomination for Best Actor is also an award, not that there is no award.

Among other awards, Xu Ye’s film will most likely be given a separate award to balance it out.

If Xu Ye really wanted to win an award, there was no need to forcibly take away the Best Film and Best Director awards.

Hu Jinping believed that Xu Ye could also see this trick. Even if he didn't, someone would tell Xu Ye.

Hu Jinping had encountered this kind of thing before, and he didn't plan to go this time.

However, Xu Ye said: "Go, why not?"

Hu Jinping was surprised and asked, "Are you sure you want to go?"

"I can go alone, you guys don't have to go." Xu Ye said with a smile.

Hu Jinping immediately realized that Xu Ye was going to cause trouble.

Hu Jinping said solemnly: "Xu Ye, don't mess around. It's one thing if you don't go, but it's another if you go and cause trouble."

Xu Ye asked back: "I didn't go there to cause trouble, I just wanted to have fun."

Hu Jinping was unable to persuade Xu Ye either.

Xu Ye is a man who dares to do anything, but his opponents have no way to deal with him.

Xu Ye also quickly responded to the Golden Dragon Award and said that he would attend the Golden Dragon Film Festival.

In fact, his main purpose of going to the film festival was to look for actors.

When this kind of film festival is held, a large number of actors will gather.

The last movie in the five-year plan needs several hardcore actors to act, and Xu Ye also plans to try his luck at the Golden Dragon Awards to see if he can find suitable candidates.

The Golden Dragon Award immediately announced the news on Weibo and specifically tagged Xu Ye.

With the experience of the Huayin Awards as a precedent, the Golden Dragon Awards are still very cautious in this regard.

We invited you and you said you would come. If you don’t come, then it’s your problem.

"I thought Xu Ye would learn about the Huayin Award and simply not come, but he ended up coming after all."

"I've said it before, Xu Ye doesn't dare to offend the film industry! He doesn't dare to offend the Golden Dragon Award!"

"If you want to stay in this circle, you have to abide by the rules of this circle!"

Some people have already started discussing this online.

The patients in Huohua Hospital felt that there was something wrong here.

Something is wrong.

“Is this going too smoothly?”

"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."

"Dean, have you changed your gender?"

Some patients also commented on Xu Ye’s Weibo, but Xu Ye did not respond.

The Golden Dragon Award judges were even more proud.

Although no one else came this time and only Xu Ye came, it was already considered a success.

Xu Ye has four films nominated, which is enough to give Xu Ye face. It doesn’t matter whether other people come or not, as long as Xu Ye comes.

Time soon arrived and it was time for the Golden Dragon Film Festival.

Xu Ye also happened to give the crew two days off to let everyone rest, and he flew to the host city.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Golden Dragon Awards officially began and was also broadcast live online.

When it came to walking the red carpet, Xu Ye, dressed in a suit and with a stern face, walked from the red carpet to the autograph board, and the host handed him a pen.

Xu Ye took the pen and wrote a line of words "Xu Ye was here" on the signature board.

After signing, he didn't interact much and just walked into the backstage.

In the live broadcast room, netizens were quite surprised after seeing it.

"Is Xu Ye in a bad mood?"

"Is this still Xu Ye?"

"You know what? Xu Ye still has the aura of a cool and handsome man."

After entering the backstage, Xu Ye took out the actor search card and started searching.

After searching the search card, I only found one male actor.

This actor is called Zhou Kevin. He is over 50 years old and has won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor twice and the Wanhua Award for Best Actor twice.

Kevin Chow is now in a semi-retired state in the film industry and has not acted in a movie for many years.

Zhou Kevin attends almost every Golden Dragon Awards and Wanhua Awards ceremony.

At his level, he is already a veteran in the film industry, and many activities in the film industry will actively invite him.

Xu Ye was not in a hurry to talk to Zhou Kevin.

Kevin Chow hasn't made a movie in many years, so it's definitely not something that can be done with just a few words from him.

Xu Ye’s method is also very simple. He just looks at the person’s character and, if possible, just read the script.

He believed that his script would definitely impress Kevin Zhou.

Soon, the Golden Dragon Award ceremony officially began.

Xu Ye was positioned among a group of actors, and to his right was the actor named Huang Chuchen.

At this time, Huang Chuchen was still a little nervous.

Sitting next to him are the youngest billion-dollar box office actor and billion-dollar box office director in the film industry.

He is even called a legal but sick star.

This person's fighting power is still very high.

Huang Chuchen was really afraid that Xu Ye would do something to embarrass him.

At this time, Huang Chuchen saw out of the corner of his eye that Xu Ye took out a handful of melon seeds from his trouser pocket.

"Sure enough, Xu Ye likes to eat melon seeds during meetings." Huang Chuchen said in his heart.

As if noticing his gaze, Xu Ye handed over the melon seeds in his hand and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Huang Chuchen wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about it, he realized that his popularity was not as high as Xu Ye's. He could take this opportunity to take advantage of Xu Ye's popularity and ask his team to buy a hot search.

Huang Chuchen stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you."

Xu Ye poured all the melon seeds in his hand directly into Huang Chuchen's hands.

Huang Chuchen said it was too late to refuse, as it was already in his hands.

Xu Ye then took out a handful of melon seeds and started to eat them, reminding them: "Don't throw the melon seed shells around."

Huang Chuchen had no choice but to pick up a melon seed and put it in his mouth and eat it.

However, when the melon seeds entered his mouth, he noticed that the taste was a little wrong.

Not until he had eaten all the melon seeds into his mouth did he feel a surge of stimulation rushing to the top of his head.

"Xu Ye is harming me, these melon seeds taste like mustard!" Huang Chuchen thought to himself when he closed his eyes.

By the time he recovered, tears were already flowing.

The mustard flavor of these melon seeds is obviously stronger.

Huang Chuchen felt that Xu Ye was trying to trick him, but he had no evidence.

Because Xu Ye was right next to him, eating melon seeds with great relish.

How come these mustard-flavored melon seeds taste so good when you eat them?

Huang Chuchen didn't dare to ask or say anything. He didn't know whether to eat the melon seeds in his hand or not.

At this time, Xu Ye asked: "Why don't you eat?"

The melon seeds in his hand were not mustard-flavored, but five-spice melon seeds that he took out from another pocket.

Huang Chuchen opened his mouth and picked up a melon seed and put it into his mouth.

For the sake of tomorrow’s hot searches, I’ll bear with it!

But after eating a few, Huang Chuchen couldn't stand it anymore. He stuffed the melon seeds into his pocket and gave up completely.

The award ceremony is still going on.

As the awards were presented one by one, there were some that were related to Xu Ye, but they were all small and insignificant awards. Xu Ye did not win any of the big awards.

When it comes to individual awards, the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress winners are both actors from other movies.

The winner of the Best Actor award is Huang Chuchen.

For a moment, a string of question marks floated across the barrage in the live broadcast room.

"Are you sure? Xu Ye is not the best actor?"

"Huang Chuchen's performance in 'Mountain Dwelling 207' is not as good as Xu Ye's?"

"Golden Dragon Award is awesome. Your cake-splitting skills are getting better and better."

In the live broadcast room, some patients who came to watch the fun have already started complaining.

When Huang Chuchen came on stage, his eyes were still a little red.

His fans thought he was excited, but Huang Chuchen understood that he was just eating mustard-flavored melon seeds.

Red eyes were no big deal, the problem was that his nose was almost running, and he only said a few simple words in his acceptance speech before quickly leaving the stage.

Huang Chuchen also understood that this award was a bit hot.

Later, another award was presented.

"The director who won this year's Best Directorial Debut Award is Xu Ye!"

This time, the camera fell on Xu Ye's face, and the poster of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" appeared on the big screen.

Many stars were looking at Xu Ye, trying to see something from his face, but unfortunately they couldn't.

Xu Ye's face was very calm.

He walked slowly onto the stage and took the trophy.

After he received the trophy, the judges of the Golden Dragon Award breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he can receive the trophy, it means Xu Ye has accepted it.

This directorial debut award is a balanced award given to Xu Ye by the judges.

This award is not actually a recognition of Xu Ye’s ability, but it is just out of concern for the bad impact on the Internet.

"It's nice enough to give him an award for his debut directorial work!"

"With those few comedy movies he made, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have won a single award!"

"We've been very good to him!"

These judges, who were invaded by capital, never felt that Xu Ye's films deserved the award.

If Xu Ye's movies hadn't had such high box office and such a huge impact, they wouldn't even have planned to nominate Xu Ye.

At this time, Xu Ye stood in front of the microphone and said slowly: "This place is very beautiful for the Golden Dragon Award ceremony today."

Everyone in the audience smiled. Xu Ye was indeed very sensible.

However, the next second, Xu Ye said, "This kind of place is the best for shitting. The wind full of sweat and odor blows on my butt, the colorful lights illuminate the floor, and there are all kinds of audiences everywhere, which adds a bit of peace of mind to this adventure. After seeing the Golden Dragon Award, I felt like shitting, and I wanted to shit freely on this stage."

After finishing speaking, Xu Ye picked up the trophy in his hand, wiped it on his butt, and then walked off the stage. However, he did not return to the audience seats. Instead, he walked to the trash can next to the venue and threw the trophy directly into the trash can.

The entire venue fell into deathly silence.

Everyone was shocked by Xu Ye's behavior.

Saying that the Golden Dragon Award is suitable for shitting is just an insult!

Later, he even used the trophy to wipe his butt and threw it into the trash can, which was an slap in the face of the Golden Dragon Award judges.

The judges of the Golden Dragon Awards were stunned.

There was one thing on everyone’s mind: How dare you!

In the live broadcast room, the barrage of comments was already boiling.

"The dean is awesome. He's fighting head-on!"

"I'm announcing something. The person standing before you is the lead actor and director of the No. 1 box office hit in Chinese film history, the youngest director and lead actor with a box office of over 10 billion yuan, a top star in the entertainment industry, and a star with positive energy!"

"I knew the dean had bad intentions when he came here today, but I didn't expect him to be even more radical than I thought!"

"I'm so impressed. The dean's mockery of others is unique. What do you mean by this place is suitable for taking a shit?"

At the award ceremony, the process was quickly pushed forward.

Fortunately, the award ceremony was almost over by then, otherwise the awkward moment would have lasted even longer.

After throwing away the trophy, Xu Ye did not return to his seat, but walked directly towards the exit.

When he walked to the exit, two Golden Dragon Award staff members raised their hands and stopped him.

The two staff members didn't know why they stopped Xu Ye, but they subconsciously felt that since Xu Ye had openly broken off relations with the Golden Dragon Award on the spot, they couldn't let Xu Ye just leave like that!

Xu Ye took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and gave one to each of the two staff members.

The two workers were confused.

Good man, you carried red envelopes with you and bribed us in public!

The worker didn't say anything, but he had already put down the hand that was holding Xu Ye.

Xu Ye gave each security guard standing guard at the door a red envelope. After he had distributed all the red envelopes in his hand, he left the venue directly.

After the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony, Xu Ye's performance at the Golden Dragon Awards directly became a hot topic and completely set off the entertainment industry.

Too rigid, too hard!
The Golden Dragon Award even directly posted more than a dozen Weibo posts to denounce Xu Ye's behavior.

No matter what is said in the entertainment industry, there is a chorus of applause on the Internet.

"I'm really impressed. Is your kung fu not worthy of an award?"

"Kung Fu is not only a box office hit, but also a high level of artistry. If this award is not given to Kung Fu, I would be angry too!"

"The Golden Dragon Award has long been unfair and unjust. It's no different from a toilet. You can really shit in it!"

The eyes of the masses are sharp.

When you arrange an award, you can give countless reasons to explain why you arrange this award, and you can find ways to convince everyone and make them feel that it is reasonable.

But the facts are the facts and that can never be changed.

In the hotel, Zhou Kevin was smoking a cigarette while watching the online discussions, and he felt very happy.

He had discovered the problems with the Golden Dragon Award a long time ago, but he had a friend who was one of the organizers and he once owed someone a favor, so he couldn't say anything about many things.

Participating in the Golden Dragon Awards every year is just a way of returning favors.

He really doesn't like the current environment, but he has no choice.

"Xu Ye is crazy? If I had achieved the same success as Xu Ye when I was young, I would be even crazier than him!"

Zhou Kaiwen saw a comment from a netizen and cursed.

At this time, his assistant came in and said, "Teacher Zhou, Xu Ye is looking for you."

Zhou Kevin was startled and sat up from the sofa.

He was tall and strong, and he looked very oppressive when he stood up, which scared his assistant.

"Let him in quickly." Zhou Kevin said.

Soon, Xu Ye walked in from outside.

The two greeted each other, and when shaking hands, Xu Ye used the character checking post to check his character.

Zhou Kevin’s character is 91, which is definitely a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Kevin was not arrogant. He crossed his legs, handed Xu Ye a cigarette, and lit one for himself. He said, "You are awesome, but I don't think it's enough. You should have smashed the trophy!"

Xu Ye asked directly: "Why didn't you say it at that time?"

Zhou Kevin said unhappily: "Who could have reacted to the situation at that time?"

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Ye discovered that Zhou Kevin had a very free and easy personality.

After he explained his purpose, Zhou Kevin shook his head and said, "I don't make movies anymore. If you need actors, I can introduce you, but I can't act myself."

Xu Ye put the script on the table and said, "Teacher Zhou, please take a look at the script first."

Zhou Kevin thought for a moment and said, "Let me take a look first."

Zhou Kevin was still a little tempted. After all, Xu Ye had a brilliant record, and no one could go against good results.

But at his point in life, he won’t just shoot any script. He will only shoot a film if he likes the script.

But nowadays, there are almost no scripts that can impress him.

Zhou Kevin picked up the script, opened the cover, and saw the information inside.

His attention first fell on the title of the movie.

The name of the movie is "Let the Bullets Fly".

Just looking at the title, Kevin Chow thought it was a crime film, or a military film.

He opened the script and read it slowly.

As he watched, he realized something was wrong.

The lines in this movie have a deeper meaning.

When he saw the conversation between the master and Zhang Mazi, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Ye.

"I want to stand and make money!"

Didn’t Xu Ye just make the money while doing it?

If Xu Ye really accepted the Golden Dragon Award trophy, wouldn't he be begging on his knees?

“Knowledge and action are one.”

Zhou Kevin sighed in his heart. He put away the smile on his face and didn't even bother to smoke. Instead, he concentrated on reading the script.

After he saw the final battle between Zhang Mazi and Mr. Huang, Zhou Kevin felt something different.

This movie is a comedy and the lines have deep meanings, but underneath this deep meaning, there seems to be another metaphor hidden.

He was older and knew a little more, and because of that, he found the movie more horrifying.

Zhou Kevin finished reading the script in one breath, and only one idea came to his mind.

"You call that a fucking comedy!"

He looked at Xu Ye who was waiting on the side, and then he was stunned.

Xu Ye was looking at the table. On the table was a small tea bag from the hotel. The bag was torn open, and the tea leaves inside were picked out one by one and placed neatly on the table.

Zhou Kevin couldn't hold it anymore.

There is something wrong with you kid!
Why don't you count the tea leaves for fun?
Zhou Kevin was also really impressed.

He asked, "How many did you count?"

Xu Ye said: "I won't tell you. If you want to know, count it yourself."

Zhou Kevin was speechless for a moment.

He decided not to continue on this topic, as he would never be able to defeat Xu Ye on this topic.

He put the script down and asked, "Are you directing this movie?"

Xu Ye nodded.

Zhou Kevin said directly: "Okay, I'll act!"
