Chapter 1011: What cannot be avoided will come.
Ms. Wu is not the only one thinking about the Beijing Film Festival.

In South Korea, Lee Boo-jin and her cousin are also discussing attending the film festival as guests thousands of miles away.

However, on Xiangyang's side, the topic has shifted to other places.

Asian Film Awards.

This Asian film award, hosted by the Hong Kong International Film Festival, was far from having the momentum it later created in conjunction with the Busan and Tokyo Film Festivals.

To the extent that Xiangyang was very confused when he heard it.

There is only one Academy Awards in Hong Kong, so how come Asia pops up again?

Fortunately, Liu Qianqian next to me is very familiar with this award.

Not only does she understand it, actors Huang Bo, Wang Baobao and Xu Guangtou also know a lot about the Asian Film Awards.

Although this award is not very valuable.

But the prefix "Asia" adds a lot of points.

The films competing for awards this year are all excellent films released in 2010.

"Earthquake" and "Under the Hawthorn Tree" have been shortlisted for some awards.

"The Orphan of Zhao", which had unsatisfactory box office performance, also received two nominations.

"Let the Bullets Fly", "Ip Man 2" and "Mystery of the Phantom Flame" belong to the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

As for Korean and Japanese films, they were also regular participants in the three major European awards last year.

"Hearing what you said, it seems that Hong Kong movies don't have much advantage." Xiang Yang couldn't help but comment after listening to several actors talk about the nominated films.

Apart from a few co-productions with the mainland, only two films that truly represent Hong Kong Island were shortlisted this time.

One is "The Informer" and the other is "Time and Tide".

The only nominees were for Best Cinematography and Best New Actor.

Looking at this report card, we can only say that Hong Kong Island's films are really nothing to brag about.

However, Xiang Yang has some impression of the movie "Time Thieves", it seems to be directed by Simon Yam.

A very artistic movie.

Both the content of the story and the way it is presented are very delicate.

On this point, even Xiang Yang, who is not very fond of Hong Kong films, admits that it is a very touching movie.

Worth a look.

"Are you also invited to participate?" Xiangyang asked.

"No, we don't have any works shortlisted, so we won't join in the fun." It was Huang Bo who answered Xiang Yang's question.

He doesn't mind the Asian Film Awards.

But this time, the film was not shortlisted.

Moreover, shortly after this award is over, the 30th anniversary of the Academy Awards will be held. As actors in the circle, most of them will choose to participate in the latter.

But when it comes to the shortlist for this year's Academy Awards announced in February, it can really be described as just for self-entertainment.

Just look at the most valuable nominations, such as Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

It’s not an exaggeration to say “it doesn’t matter whether you go or not”.

"Haha, then don't go. Time is precious." Xiangyang was not joking.

He felt there was no need to go to the Academy Awards.

A movie like "The King's Avatar" which sells sentiments but whose artistic level is not as good as "Time and Tide" and whose box office is negligible can be nominated for Best Picture.

And there's that movie called "The Informer".

The chef's acting is so awkward, he was just forcing it, but he was still nominated for the best actor
It's really a bit funny.

However, the fact that these films were nominated and had a much higher chance of winning than the co-production "Detective Dee" also shows that they have made a clear statement:
The Academy Awards belong to Hong Kong Island!
Everyone is having fun like this, why are you rushing to join in the fun?

The spirit of the game is not used in this kind of place.

Some people don't even need to give face.

But he is not interested in the Academy Awards and doesn't care about it at all.

What Huang Bo, Wang Baobao and Xu Guangtou think is their business.

There is no need to ask others to offend the Hong Kong circle if he doesn't like something. After all, they make a living from this.

However, Liu Qianqian, who also has no works shortlisted, will not attend these two awards.

Similarly, John Little, CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company, has received invitations to two awards, but he is not very interested in going.

He is different from Xiangyang.

Although he likes to show his face, going to a film festival does allow him to show his face, but it costs money.

It's not an comfortable feeling to be surrounded by film producers.

In Hong Kong Island, the number of screenings of "Time and Space" after its release was not much different from that of "Bullets Fly", and the box office performance trends were also similar.

However, Minions sold well.

The filmmakers in Hong Kong invited him simply for this reason.

These people didn't just want him to invest.

He also hopes to sell the film's disc rights to CC Pictures or ask him to act as a go-between to attract Hollywood funding for Hong Kong films.

He won't do this losing business.

Seeing that the topic was gradually going off track when mentioning Hong Kong movies, Wang Changtian took the initiative to change the subject.

We are out here to "play" today, so we won't talk about "work".

His proposal was immediately supported by everyone except Xiangyang and Little John.

In fact, Xiangyang and Xiaoyuehan didn't want to waste time on Hong Kong movies, they just came to the point of talking about this.

However, once the conversation starts, it is not easy to turn it around.

The mainland has its own movies, Hong Kong has its own movies, and Thailand has its own movies.

Since she had taken the initiative to book the entire theater, Ms. Wu also asked a few people about their opinions on Thai movies.

It is certain that Thai stars will be invited to support the event.

Best of all, we could try to let Xiangyang and his friends watch a Thai movie at the same time.

"Are there any horror movies?"

When she heard that there was still time to watch a Thai movie, Liu Xixi's voice became a little more lively.

"Can we not watch horror movies?!" Xiang Yang was immediately stunned.

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian burst out laughing, she really couldn't help laughing.

"Why don't we watch 'Uncle Bomi's Past and Present Life' together?" Ms. Wu suggested.

This film, which represented Thai films at the Asian Film Awards, Beijing Film Festival and Hong Kong Film Awards, involves elements such as ghosts, past lives and present lives.

But its overall style and atmosphere are not scary, and there are no disgusting scenes.

It is a surreal film that mainly tells the many strange stories of a man with severe kidney disease who spends his last days in the countryside.

Hearing the words "past and present lives", Xiangyang felt a pain in his kidneys.
"I seem to remember this movie." Little John ruffled his hair.

"It participated in Cannes last year and won the Palme d'Or." Liu Qianqian said, with more anticipation on her face.

It’s been a long time since I took Xiangyang to watch a horror movie~
Scared?
Feeling the slight tremor from the hand she was holding, Liu Qianqian smiled and rubbed the back of Xiangyang's hand twice with her thumb.

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

"." Xiangyang couldn't resist her and took a deep breath.

Just watch it.

At worst, when there are offensive scenes and plots, he can just close his eyes and not look at them. He can’t understand Thai anyway.

Just when Xiangyang was helpless, Wang Changtian suddenly said with emotion: "It would be great if we could see "Sandy and Weiner"."

Although the voice was small, Xiangyang seemed to have found a life-saving straw, "What movie is Sandy and Weiner?"

"This is a very legendary movie. I think if Mr. Xiang knew about it, he would be very interested in it," Ms. Wu explained.

It won two awards at the first Asia Pacific Film Festival in Tokyo: Best Photography and Best Art Design.

The first Thai film to be recognized at an international film festival.

It was also featured in Popular Cinema during its release in China decades ago, representing the bridge between Chinese and Thai cultural exchanges.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a "legend".

Moreover, the tragic experience of this movie adds a bit of "legendary" color to it.

Because the original film was damaged when it was shipped from Japan to Europe for screening, it was believed to have been lost.

"That's really a pity." Xiang Yang couldn't help but sigh after hearing the complete explanation.

The little hope that had just been ignited was extinguished just like that.
"Don't worry, 'The Past and Present Life of Uncle Bomi' is also worth appreciating. I have seen it." Seeing his lost expression, Liu Qianqian comforted him.

She swore that she was not kidding.

"Yeah." Xiangyang nodded.

As for what happened next, while shopping, Ms. Wu, Little John, and Wang Changtian discussed inviting those Thai stars to come over and show their support.

Xiangyang, who had lost all interest, was too lazy to join in the topic.

Even Liu Xixi was left to Bi Shafer to take care of.

You can watch horror movies, but you can’t watch them while sitting next to Liu Xixi. Otherwise, if you close your eyes and get caught, the consequences will be terrible.

Having made up his mind, Xiangyang simply went to Huang Bo, Wang Baobao, Xu Guangtou and others to pay attention to the filming of "Lost in Thailand".

Liu Qianqian, who had gotten his promise to watch a horror movie together, was happy to give him some space.

After coming out, I felt greasy all the way and my palms were sweaty.

Besides, she has things to do.
"Hahaha, what's Xixi thinking today? She actually gave her fans scratch tickets?"

"Why does she look so happy? Did she enjoy shopping?"

"How can anyone bear to scrape it off?"

“Does Thailand also have scratch cards?”

"Hahaha, Xixi actually told me that if I win the lottery, I should not forget to give her half. I am dying of laughter!!!"

"."

The scratch tickets with instant prizes were handed out personally by Liu Xixi and were quickly posted on social media by fans who received this unexpected surprise.

They were all basically making fun of Liu Xixi's sudden interaction with fans.

This kind of fan-pampering behavior is rare.

Especially in this funny way.

Why did she do such a "little evil thing"?
I do not know.

"I just heard from the staff of Lost in Thailand that the crew will organize a screening of Time and Space tomorrow. I don't know which cinema it will be held in."

"Haha, I got Huang Bo's autograph."

"Tsk, the baby even took a photo with me."

“When will Lost in Thailand be released? Someone online said Xixi has invested in it. Is that true?”

"Upstairs, your information is too outdated. Xixi has been a capital for a long time. She is a small wealthy woman."

"I really envy you guys who have money and free time. I wish I were in Bangkok."

"Is Time and Space also showing in Thailand? How is the box office performance?"

"It's very popular in Malaysia. We met a fan who flew here from Kuala Lumpur," she said.

"."

It's rare to follow Liu Xixi's latest news without having to worry about time differences, and discussions in various fan groups are extremely lively.

Besides being able to smile happily when receiving the small gift from Liu Xixi.

There were also several fans who took close-up high-definition photos, which made a large number of fans drool.

Of course, the most enviable thing is those who have the courage to ask for a photo.

Don't tell me.

Liu Qianqian, who hadn't taken photos with fans for a long time, was really cooperative. She took the initiative to communicate with the accompanying security personnel and satisfied several lucky ones.

"Strange, why don't you take a photo with Xiangyang and Xixi?"

Seeing the group photo appear in the chat box, someone asked curiously.

"Who's okay? Call him."

"Hahaha, let me show you a photo. Brother Yang saw something and his face froze."
