China Entertainment Anchor

Zhang Yang gestured for them to come in and led the mainlanders out.

"Director Zhang, I wonder if you can take me with you." Kara Hui walked over to them with a smile. She had worked with Zhang Yang on "The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful", which won her the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

She will also star in next year's tribute film "My Motherland and I", so she still needs to take the right stance.

"And me."
Liu Jialing, Liu Dehua, Luo Jiaying and other older generation Hong Kong actors took the lead and followed.

Some Hong Kong actors who came later may not necessarily want to come over, but since all these seniors have come over, it would seem abnormal if they didn’t come over, and they would easily be remembered by others.

"Then let's go together." Zhang Yang waved his hand, and a group of people walked out of the memorial hall.

The media had been waiting for the gossip for a long time. When they saw Zhang Yang and others walking out, they followed them to conduct an interview.

"Director Zhang Yang, what are you going to do with the Golden Horse Award you've won?"

"Director Zhang Yang, aren't you going to attend the Golden Horse Awards Thanksgiving Banquet?"

"Director Zhang Yimou, you..."

"Huang Bo..."

Zhang Yang looked at the group of media reporters, stopped and said indifferently: "It is better for movies to be pure." After he said that, he ignored the group of reporters and walked towards his car.

……

"Aren't you going to try to persuade them?" Zhang Zhen in the memorial hall looked at Zhang Yang and the others from afar, left without giving them any face, and asked Li An.

Now people from the mainland and Hong Kong refuse to take group photos or participate in thank-you banquets, leaving them wondering how the film festival will end.

"Do you think I can persuade Zhang Yang?" Li An smiled bitterly. He patted Zhang Zhen's shoulder and was about to walk towards the banquet hall.

"Director Li, what do you think of what happened at the Golden Horse Awards today?"

"Director Li, what do you want to say about the mainland and Hong Kong not attending the thank-you banquet?"

"What do you think about Zhang Yang snatching the trophy from the female director?"

Even at this moment, Li An still kept a smile on his face: "I still ask everyone to respect filmmakers. Movies are very pure things. It's a good thing... I'll think about the rest next year."

Zhang Zhen and others looked at Li An's expression. He was obviously very embarrassed, but he still had to smile.

But his smile at this moment was uglier than crying, and it made people feel distressed.

Think about it, Li An was asked by Zhang Aijia and others to be the chairman of the executive committee.
He was very dedicated in his first year in office and invited Zhang Yang, the popular movie emperor, to be the chairman of the jury, but ended up with this outcome.

"Director, are you worried about next year's Golden Horse Awards?" The reporters saw Li An's expression but did not feel sorry for him. They just tried their best to take pictures of him. This was all news.

"I... I will try my best to be a good host next year... Thank you all for loving the Golden Horse Awards. Can we stop here today?" The chairman of the Golden Horse Executive Committee usually serves two four-year terms. This is his first year. What should he do with the remaining three years? He has a headache.

The reporters became even more excited when they saw Li An speaking in a pleading tone. They were about to ask more questions, but Zhang Zhen and others couldn't stand it anymore. These media people were really going too far.

They looked at each other, and surrounded Li An as they walked towards the banquet hall. The media reporters wanted to chase them, but the security guards of the memorial hall stepped forward to stop them.

With the help of several people, Li An escaped from the media. He suddenly remembered something after a few steps: "Where is the female director?"

The female director was "helped" by Zhang Yang's bodyguard to go backstage, and has not been seen since.

The others were reminded by Li An and they also remembered the psychopath. They quickly called the staff to ask him.

"She's sitting backstage." The staff said and took them to the female director.

The female director saw a group of people coming over but didn't say anything. She knew she was in trouble.

"Are you okay?" Li An looked at her with a complicated expression, but he still cared about her physical condition first.

"I don't know where the bodyguard touched me. I have no strength left in my body." The female director said with a sad face.

"It's not that magical. He pressed your XX and the lack of strength is only temporary. Try moving again." Zhang Zhen rolled his eyes at her. He was half a martial artist and knew a lot about these things.

The female director raised her arms and found that they could move. She stood up happily.

"My prize..."

"Your trophy was taken away by Director Zhang. I want to go to Caesar Hotel to find him." The new Golden Horse Film Queen Xie Yingxuan said in a bad tone.

It was because of her that everyone else who received awards today felt extremely embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

"Okay, let's go to the banquet hall. The dishes are ready and can't be wasted." Li laughed at himself. As for the female director, he didn't want to argue with her too much.

The female director looked at the group of people in front of her, she just thought...

The group headed by Li An walked into the banquet hall. Everyone looked at the hall that was supposed to accommodate dozens of tables, but now even ten tables might not be full.

"When I invited Zhang Yang to be the chairman of the jury, I told him that our Golden Horse Awards is the number one Chinese film festival, and even the number one film festival in Asia.
He couldn't refute what I said, he just asked me how I got the first place, I said it didn't matter,

Now look, it is still important. "Li An looked around and sighed to the people around him.

Most of these people have witnessed the lively and cheerful scenes at thank-you banquets in previous years, and now they are comparing the two...

"He has already vented his anger today, so there will be no problem next year." Xie Yingxuan said words that she herself did not believe, and comforted Li An.

……

Caesar Hotel, banquet hall.

People from the mainland and Hong Kong were toasting each other.

Zhang Yang was the center of the main table, with Zhang Yang on the left, Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao, Sun Li, Wen Muye and others, and Liu Dehua, Liu Jialing, Kara Hui, Chen Yixun... on the right.

Although the meal was lively, it felt unnatural. Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention what happened tonight.

How they will do this will still depend on the unit's decision, so Zhang Yang might know it earlier. "Brother, Makino, how far have you progressed in filming the movie "My Motherland and Me"?" Zhang Yang asked the two.

"All preparations are done, I'll start shooting when I get back." Zhang Yimou laughed.

He has been very busy recently. It has been not long since "Shadow" was released, and now he is busy with "One Second".

"I've finished filming." Wen Muye was very obedient here.

"Has Jiang Wen's segment been filmed?" Zhang Yang looked at Kara Hui again. She was in the segment filmed by Jiang Wen.

Hui Yinghong nodded.

"Do you know what they are filming?" Zhang Yimou asked playfully.

In Jiang Wen's films, there are often scenes where the actors have finished filming and have no idea what they were filming.

"The story is still simple and clear." Kara Hui gave an affirmative answer.

Zhang Yang felt relieved after hearing her say that. It seemed that he did not let himself go this time.

At this time, Zhang Yang's assistant and bodyguard Xiao Zhao suddenly walked up to him.

Many people looked at Xiao Zhao with inquiring eyes. He dragged the female director to the backstage, but the female director did not resist at all. It was obvious that Xiao Zhao was not an ordinary person.

"Boss, a lot of reporters have sneaked into the hotel, and they are looking for the waiter to ask about the situation here."

Caesar Hotel is a Taiwanese hotel, and Zhang Yang made the decision to hold this banquet suddenly. The preparations in all aspects were not sufficient, and it was easy for others to take advantage of loopholes.

"Just ask, is this banquet of ours shameful?" Zhang Yang said nonchalantly. He then instructed bodyguard Xiao Zhao: "Watch out, don't let them secretly take photos of the scene."

Bodyguard Xiao Zhao nodded and immediately walked to the door where the waiters entered and exited. As long as you passed by him, there was no way you could escape his sharp eyes.

"You are no simple bodyguard." Lao Mouzi was a little curious about Xiao Zhao.

"He is a master from the Imperial Palace." Zhang Yang joked half-seriously.

After hearing this, other people began to have wild thoughts, especially the people from Hong Kong. Zhang Yang actually had a master from the Imperial Palace? Was he already so awesome?

The dinner lasted until after eleven o'clock in the evening before everyone left.

Zhang Yang returned to his suite and was about to wash up and go to bed when his assistant hurriedly asked, "Boss, what should we do with that trophy?"

"Didn't I ask you to handle it? Do whatever you want." Zhang Yang waved to his assistant and walked into the bedroom.

After hearing what the boss said, the assistant understood what was going on, and he went back and turned it into ashes.

Zhang Yang also quietly returned to the capital the next morning.

As always, he used a special channel, so basically no media could catch him. If they met him by accident, they would pretend not to see him.

Beijing, Zhang Yang’s courtyard house.

At around eleven in the morning, Mother Liu and Liu Yifei were chatting in the lobby of the West Courtyard.

Zhang Hongyi was fooling around with a wooden sword in his hand.

"Hey, ha, wow." The little guy made strange noises while dancing with his sword.

"Behave yourself." Liu Yifei scolded her son.

Zhang Hongyi glanced at his mother, ignored her, and continued to act like a fool.

At this moment, Zhang Yang walked into the hall dragging his suitcase. When he entered, Zhang Hongyi also danced to the door with a sword in his hand.

He accidentally hit Zhang Yang's suitcase with his sword.

When he looked up and saw the big devil, the little guy was speechless.

He threw away the sword and hugged Zhang Yang's thigh with a smile: "Dad."

"Yeah." Zhang Yang responded and began to observe his son.

"Did you bring me a gift?" The little guy looked up at Zhang Yang and asked expectantly.

"Yes, let's have lunch first, and I'll bring it to you after we're done."

"I want it now." Zhang Hongyi would not be fooled. Last time, his mother took out a bunch of food after dinner, and he couldn't eat anything even if he wanted to.

"Wait." Zhang Yang dragged his suitcase, said hello to Liu's mother and Liu Yifei, and went to the bedroom.

Liu Yifei also stood up and followed in. She wanted to help Zhang Yang pack his suitcase.

After opening the suitcase, Liu Yifei looked up at Zhang Yang and asked in confusion, "Where's the gift?"

There was nothing in the suitcase except his spare clothes.

Zhang Yang walked from the bedroom to the study without saying a word, and soon came out with a copy of Song poetry: "This is the gift."

"If you didn't bring it, then you didn't bring it. Are you lying, kid?" Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yang with contempt.

"The situation this time is special, so I don't have the energy to buy him a gift. Besides, he will have to learn Song poetry sooner or later." Zhang Yang defended himself.

Liu Yifei stood up, took out a rabbit-shaped stuffed doll from the closet, and threw it to Zhang Yang: "Use this to deal with the little guy."

Zhang Yang took the puppet and looked at it: "When did you buy it? How come I didn't know about it?"

"There are so many things you don't know." Liu Yifei said and continued packing her luggage.

Soon the two of them walked out of the bedroom, and Zhang Hongyi received his gift. Although he was not surprised, he was still very happy. Children are so easy to please. (End of this chapter)
