China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 1085 Governor Zhou's Frenzy Over the Golden Horse
Oh no, retreat quickly!
On the red carpet, Li Yifeng and Yang Yang, along with other popular young actors, suddenly quickened their pace.

They even forgot about the carefully planned poses for cool photos.

The memories of the dead still haunt them.

Whenever the Grand Commander of Jiangdong was encountered, whoever was slow to run would end up as a background figure.

Zhou Yutang was already used to such scenes.

He had one hand in his suit trouser pocket, chatting casually with Liu Shishi beside him.

This year's top female star wasn't actually nominated; she only attended as an award presenter.

She just stood there naturally next to Zhou Yutang, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

On the other side was Teacher Fan, wearing a velvet deep V fishtail dress. While waving to the fans on both sides of the red carpet, she secretly glanced at Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi out of the corner of her eye.

One is gentle and refined, the other is stunningly beautiful.

Two top female celebrities from the Chinese entertainment industry, accompanying Governor Zhou, resembled a meticulously crafted world-famous painting.

As a true man, this is what you should do!

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream were in an uproar.

Zhou Yutang deliberately lingered for an extra fifteen seconds before accepting the interview from host Lin Chiling. "Mr. Zhou, 'Dying to Survive' swept six nominations tonight. How are you feeling right now?"

"I've been to Jinma many times, but I don't have any particular feelings about it."

"Then I wish Mr. Zhou a successful start to the night, with many surprises to come!"

Lin Chi-ling, with a cheerful smile and her signature gentle, soft voice, then turned to ask Teacher Fan:

"Congratulations to Binbin on bringing home the Golden Lion from Venice! He also has a good chance of challenging for the Golden Horse Award tonight. Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?"

"Thank you for your support. I hope I can live up to your expectations tonight."

You know what, Lin Chi-ling is not only tall, beautiful, and has a sweet voice, but she's also quite capable in her work.

The impromptu red carpet host was surprisingly competent, managing the pace of the questions perfectly. Teacher Fan also gave him a lot of face and cooperated very well.

Just as the interview was ending, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the end of the red carpet: "Tang poetry is eternal, your beauty is breathtaking! Wishing you a baby soon!"

"."

That shout was incredibly penetrating, delivering what could be described as real damage.

Ms. Fan stumbled, nearly twisting her ankle in her high heels on the red carpet, and her delicate face instantly darkened.

Zhou Yutang and Liu Shishi rose to fame with "You Are the Apple of My Eye," and their work resonated with countless people, even in Taiwan.

They subsequently collaborated frequently, becoming entangled with each other, essentially reaching a semi-sudden confrontation.

This "Tang Poetry CP" is also the largest CP fan group in the Chinese entertainment industry, apart from the "Fairy Couple".

The name "Tang" was taken from Zhou Yutang's name, and "Shi" from Liu Shishi's name. When combined, the name is easy to pronounce.

Teacher Fan's smile shifted to Liu Shishi on the other side.

Well done! If you're so good at talking, then say more!
She waved to the female fan whose voice was so loud it sounded like she'd practiced a lion's roar, and gave her a warm, spring-like smile.

If the staff hadn't already signaled for entry, the overjoyed fan would have loved to take a photo with that thoughtful fan and chat for a while.

Guided by the staff, we entered the venue and settled into our seats in the front row, where we had the best view.

The organizing committee made a good arrangement, putting the crews of several popular films from the Jiangdong region, such as "Shadow," "How Long Will I Love U," "She Killed," and "Dying to Survive," together.

Not long after we sat down, a scene similar to the private banquet last night played out again.

People came one after another to greet and exchange pleasantries with the Grand Commander.

Meanwhile, many of the beautifully dressed actresses in the room were glancing at Liu Shishi and Teacher Fan from time to time.

The envy, jealousy, and even a barely perceptible longing contained in those eyes surged like a tidal wave.

"You're Wang Yuwen?"

Zhou Yutang's gaze swept across the room and landed on the young girl who had come forward with Peng Yuchang to make her face known.

"what?"

Wang Yuwen was clearly surprised that Zhou Yutang knew her. She was slightly taken aback, then felt flattered and flattered. "Yes, it's me, President Zhou!"

"It seems like it was signed with Guo Tingting's side?"

"It was Bozhongxinghe, and Mr. Guo signed me."

"Ah."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and said calmly, "I've seen your film 'An Elephant Sitting Still' with Xiao Peng. It's of good quality. It's a pity about Director Hu."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Director Hu will be very happy if he knows your evaluation."

"You have great potential, keep up the good work."

It was just a few simple polite words and reminders, but Wang Yuwen felt instantly overwhelmed with pressure.

Teacher Fan on the left was sharp as a knife, and Sister Yi on the right had a sharp, arrow-like gaze that turned towards them simultaneously.

Both of them were discreetly observing who this person was.

Even Peng Yuchang, who was standing next to him, was drenched in sweat.

Wow, Sister Wang, you're really something!

You don't usually show off, so do you want to improve yourself?

It seems that Wang Yuwen once let slip during a variety show interview that she had once performed a dance for the Grand Commander.
Peng Yuchang, deeply disturbed by the thought, increasingly felt that the relationship between the two was not simple. Returning to his seat in the back, he couldn't help but probe:
"Sister Wang, I didn't expect you and President Zhou to be so close. You'll have to mentor me!"

"Brother, we really have nothing to do with each other."

Wang Yuwen said dejectedly, "I haven't even spoken to him yet!"

"This newcomer is quite promising."

Teacher Fan glanced back at Wang Yuwen in the back row, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"Just ask if you want to."

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly, "This is a promising newcomer from Jiangdong's artist database, who has been signed by Guo Tingting and Pang Liwei."

Liu Shishi, pretending not to care, was adjusting her skirt, but in reality, her ears were already perked up.

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember that when Bozhongxinghe opened, I had Lanlan send a flower basket."

Fan Bingbing suddenly realized, "It seems that business has been developing quite well this year."

In other words, Huang Xiaoming's former agent, Guo Tingting, teamed up with Pang Liwei to create a business focused on artist management.

The two leading actresses now are Liu Haocun and Wang Yuwen.

It also has talented actors like Qin Hailu and Liao Fan, and is considered one of the fastest-rising film and television companies in the industry recently.

As for "An Elephant Sitting Still," which was shown at the Berlin Film Festival and received much praise from the industry, it was directed by Hu Bo, a junior of Zhou Yutang from the Beijing Film Academy.

This person and the Grand Commander were both born in 88, and their birthdays are only 8 days apart. He is also a very talented young director in the mainland film and television industry in recent years.

Sadly, he passed away last year due to depression.

Today, Hu Bo's mother came to the Golden Horse Awards with the main creators of "Elephant".

As the awards ceremony began and the pre-performance activities commenced, Liu Shishi quietly leaned close to Zhou Yutang's ear and whispered, "You called yesterday about this."

"Shhh."

Zhou Yutang grasped the eldest sister's slender hand, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"What are you talking about? Count me in."

"You'll find out later."

Zhou Yutang looked up at her and smiled mysteriously.

"Humph!"

Thinking about Zhou Yutang being with Sister Yi last night, Teacher Fan gritted her teeth secretly.

Those long legs subtly brushed against Zhou Yutang's calf. The Grand Commander remained unmoved, and she dared not make any further moves, so she reluctantly gave up.

If it weren't for so many cameras pointing at her, which could easily cause a live broadcast accident, she would definitely have used her long legs to crush this biased bastard to death.

However, she didn't have to wait long before she understood Zhou Yutang's intentions.

The winner of the Best New Director award at the 55th Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards is Hu Bo, for "An Elephant Sitting Still".

Not long after the awards ceremony began, the presenter opened the envelope and read out the winner's name, causing an uproar in the audience.

Before this, Liu Naicha, who was considered the most promising candidate by the outside world, also gave a wry smile and then clapped lightly.

This year's directorial debut, "Us and Them," despite allegations of box office fraud, still grossed nearly a billion yuan, making it a phenomenal hit.

Peng Yuchang accepted the award on Hu Bo's behalf and brought the trophy back to Hu Bo's mother, who burst into tears.

The awards ceremony continued, and the subsequent awards proceeded relatively smoothly.

"Kowloon Walled City" won Best Action Choreography for its exciting fight scenes, while Han Jia Nu won Best Original Screenplay for "Dying to Survive".

As for the Best New Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress awards, unsurprisingly, they all went to Taiwanese actors.

It's understandable that these are all areas reserved for people with Taiwanese household registration.

However, just as the Golden Horse Awards ceremony was presenting the Best Documentary award, the woman with the lip pencil suddenly appeared.

The words that came out of her mouth immediately plunged the once bustling venue into a deathly silence.

Some people gaped in shock, while others clenched their fists in anger.

Some people whispered among themselves, while others were secretly excited, as if they wanted to stir up trouble.

The myriad aspects of sentient beings are too numerous to mention.

After she stepped down, things ultimately changed.

The atmosphere at the awards ceremony completely veered off course and could never return to its previous peaceful state.

Organizing committee chairman Li An looked grim, his brows furrowed.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Zhou Yutang.

The Grand Commander, who had been sitting casually, straightened his back a few degrees in an instant.

His once gentle gaze turned sharp as a knife, and his entire being exuded an unsettling chill, as aloof and elegant as a white crane.

Oh no, he's up to no good!
Li An had a strong premonition.

For a moment, his mind raced, and the Oscar-winning director felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, as if he had a thorn in his side.

The two women who shared a bed with Governor Zhou were the first to notice the changes in their men.

Two pairs of eyes, one on the left and one on the right, both fell on him.

Teacher Fan reached out and gently tugged at Zhou Yutang's sleeve, a deep worry appearing on her beautiful face.

She usually has a lot of ideas, but when faced with this kind of situation, her first reaction was anger, but she also knew that it involved too much, and she was somewhat frightened and apprehensive.

Just as she was about to ask Zhou Yutang how to handle the situation, Liu Shishi, who usually seemed indifferent to worldly affairs, came over first.

She gently covered her mouth and whispered firmly in Zhou Yutang's ear, "Don't worry about me, and don't have any concerns. No matter what you do next, I will be with you."

"rest assured."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, a strange warmth welling up in his heart, and gently patted the back of her hand.

This is probably the most romantic way a woman can express her love to a man.

Liu Shishi is usually very calm and indifferent, but she unexpectedly showed remarkable composure when faced with a major event, which is quite rare.

Before the commotion at the scene had subsided, Li An, the chairman of the organizing committee, walked onto the stage with a stiff expression and announced the Best Director award.

"Congratulations, Governor Zhou."

"Whoosh!"

Oh wow, it's finally Zhou Yutang's turn.

He calmly rose and steadily ascended the award stage.

He remained as elegant as ever.

He ignored Li An's almost pleading eyes.

After taking the microphone, Zhou Yutang did not speak immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and pretended to press the button in the air.

His calm gaze swept across the entire venue, and wherever his eyes fell, the previously noisy hall seemed to have been paused, miraculously falling silent.

As the helmsman of two major players in China's entertainment industry, the Grand Commander is used to issuing orders, and his inherent authority is on full display at this moment.

The scene was so quiet you could almost hear a pin drop before Zhou Yutang slowly spoke, each word clear: "I am very happy to have come to China Bay Province this time and truly felt the enthusiasm of the local fans."

"But I don't like what that lady said just now."

"In my understanding, the Golden Horse Awards is a platform for filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to exchange art. Film is a pure art form that should not be linked to politics. This is a basic principle that compatriots on both sides of the Strait should adhere to and cherish."

"But there are always some clowns with ulterior motives who want to take this opportunity to cause trouble and expose their shallowness, ignorance and stupidity."

After a slight pause, Zhou Yutang's gaze sharpened, his eyes radiating an air of dominance, and he spoke in a firm and resounding voice:

"Here, I must tell everyone that one China and both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family. This is an unshakable established fact and a historical inevitability. That's all I have to say."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Shishi was the first to applaud from below the stage.

Her beautiful eyes shone with pride.

Immediately afterwards, key members of the Jiangdong faction, including Zhang Yimou, Jin Yukun, Zhang Songwen, and Li Jian, stood up and applauded. Well-known directors and actors such as Section Chief Jia, Xu Guangtou, and Duan Hongyi followed suit.

Led by Huo Wenxi of Yinghuang, a group of film and television people in Hong Kong also stood up and responded.

The applause gradually grew from sparse to dense, resounding throughout the venue.

However, some people scoffed and laughed, as if watching a farce.

Zhou Yutang weighed the trophy in his hand, then gently placed it on the podium without any hesitation, turned around and walked straight off the stage.

"Mr. Zhou, this process isn't finished yet."

Li An, covered in sweat, lifted half of his buttocks, looking astonished, and whispered softly to persuade him.

Zhou Yutang didn't even glance at him and continued walking towards the venue exit.

Zhang Yimou, Zhu Yilong, Jing Tian, ​​Zhang Songwen, and other artists from the Jiangdong faction, along with mainland film and television professionals in the audience, seemed to have received a silent command.

They all stood up and followed suit, leaving their seats.

Subsequently, led by Huo Wenxi of Yinghuang, a group of film and television figures from Hong Kong also left the scene.

Those who make it in the entertainment industry are all shrewd and calculating. Now that it's time to choose sides, no one will hesitate.

In an instant, followers flocked to him.

The entire venue seemed to recede, with large swaths of seats becoming empty.

The banquet hadn't ended yet, but as soon as Zhou Yutang left, it was over prematurely.

The host, Tao Jingying, standing on the stage was completely dumbfounded.

At the massive Golden Horse Awards ceremony, some people took sides and retreated, some observed tactically, and others whispered among themselves.

It was a complete mess.

This question is too difficult; she can't do it.

No matter how eloquent she is, she can't smooth things over.

This kind of unexpected situation has never happened since the Golden Horse Awards were first established.

Everything went smoothly until that idiot caused trouble. I thought I could get away with it.

To everyone's surprise, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong flipped the table.

Most importantly, his influence was so terrifying that he could command a huge following with a single call!
