Full-time actor

Chapter 293 [120] An invitation from the Spring Festival Gala!
"Double Yolk Egg!" Xia Yu and Chen Yu both won the Best Actor Award at the 23rd China Golden Rooster Film Festival! 》

"The youngest Golden Rooster actor in history is born!" 》

"The second best actor trophy of the year, Chen Yu is crowned emperor again!" 》

"Jin Yong hand-picked Chen Yu as the most suitable candidate for Duan Yu in his mind!" 》

……

As soon as the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony ended, countless news media published tonight's big news.

However, Chen Yu, Huo Jianqi and others had just completed exclusive interviews with Sixth Princess and Sina.

"Chen Yu, come here!"

Zhang Yimou suddenly waved to Chen Yu. Chen Yu was slightly stunned, but followed Lao Mouzi to a lounge, where many people were busy.

These are all the staff behind the Golden Rooster Awards.

"Director Jin Yue, do you know him?"

Zhang Yimou pointed at a middle-aged man wearing a hat. Chen Yu thought for a moment and seemed to have some impression, but not much.

"Chief Director of last year's Spring Festival Gala!"

Zhang Yimou reminded him with a smile, and Chen Yu immediately remembered it. He was still thinking about the director of movies and TV series, but he didn't expect that he had a bigger background.

"Hello, Director Jin!"

Chen Yu hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Jin Yue on Zhang Yimou's recommendation. Jin Yue smiled and said, "Hello, Chen Yu!"

"I heard Director Zhang said that you are going to Tokyo tomorrow, so I asked him to call you over!"

Jin Yue didn't waste any time and said: "That's it, Lao Yuan just called me and asked me to ask you if you are free during the Spring Festival Gala and I want you to be on a program!"

"Oh, that's a good thing, I guessed it was this!"

Zhang Yimou patted Chen Yu on the shoulder. Chen Yu didn't expect that the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala would be so casual.
Well, it's really just a phone call, just to ask if you are free. As for whether you can finally get on, that's not necessarily the case.

"Anyway, think about it!"

"Take a note of his phone number and call him back. Lao Yuan is in charge of this year's Spring Festival Gala. He is more pioneering than me. This year he is focusing on rejuvenation and is looking for new people to debut on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Wasn't it his first time in this year? Is it for one use..."

Jin Yue said there and glanced at Zhang Yimou: "Old Zhang, you really don't think about it. Lao Yuan invites you so hard?"

"I really don't have time. If I can go, I will definitely go!"

Currently, Zhang Yimou is probably married in secret and has to spend the Chinese New Year with his wife and children. After all, he has given birth to so many.

It’s just one day off every year during the Chinese New Year, and it doesn’t make sense if I don’t spend time with my family.

"All right!"

"Then let me tell Lao Yuan, as for Chen Yu, you must be fine, and it is also a good thing for you!"

"Spring Festival Gala, how many people are crowded!"

Jin Yue said, and Chen Yu nodded: "I must have wanted to go to the Spring Festival Gala, but I was afraid that I was not qualified enough..."

Of course Chen Yu was speaking modestly.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yue said: "What are you afraid of? Zhou Jielun can't speak clearly. He's going to be admitted this year. Lao Yuan is serious. I admire him very much. It is said that many people in the main station have opinions. He went against all opinions and still gave him Added!"

"That's different. Zhou Jiulun is very popular in the music industry now. I even want to make a movie with him!"

Zhang Yimou was smiling at the side, but Chen Yu was moved in his heart.

Come to think of it, Jay Chou made his first appearance at the Spring Festival Gala in 03 and sang "Dragon Fist", right?

This Yuan Dewang is older than Jin Yue, but unexpectedly he is quite fashionable.

The two are members of the CCTV faction. Although they are openly competitive, and they work hard every year to bid for the director of the Spring Festival Gala, they fight openly and covertly, but in private they actually have a good relationship.

In Chen Yu's previous life, Jin Yue directed a total of 6 Spring Festival Galas, 94, 95, 01, 03, and later 07 and 10, but his reputation was average; he previously served as the director of the CCTV Literature and Art Department and the director of the Science and Education Channel In this position, he even created a program called "Variety Show", which has very popular ratings.

What's even worse now is that he is already the chairman and president of Xinying Group, a subsidiary of CCTV.

Xinying is a professional studio that produces documentary films for CCTV. Documentaries and translated films are all produced by this group, including Lao Mouzi's previous "Alive", which was also produced by this studio and has in-depth cooperation with Bayi.

The reason why he is here is because he is the main director of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

He is also responsible for directing the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

The old Yuan Yuan Dewang he mentioned was an old man from the Spring Festival Gala, more senior than Jin Yue.

The three most famous directors in history in 84, 86 and 87 were all directed by Yuan Dewang, and he discovered Zhao Benshan and Chen Peisi... Later, Guo Degang was able to attend the Spring Festival Gala, and it was also his recommendation.

This year, Yuan Dewang was hand-picked by CCTV to make a comeback, but the ratings were actually getting worse year by year, so he was asked to think of ways to support him.

"Okay, thank you, Director Jin. I'll call Director Yuan back tomorrow morning!"

Chen Yu wrote down Yuan Dewang's cell phone, but Jin Yue smiled and said: "Forget tomorrow, Lao Yuan is not asleep yet, call him now!"

"He's waiting for your reply!"

"All right……"

Chen Yu had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, find a place with few people, and dial out.

A strong voice soon sounded on the other end of the phone: "Hello, who are you?"

"Hello, Director Yuan, I am Chen Yu——"

"Oh, hello, Chen Yu, congratulations, I just saw you win the Golden Rooster Best Actor!"

"Thank you, Director Yuan!"

"I didn't even ask for your company phone number. I happened to see you receiving the award, and I thought that Xiao Jin was there. You performed a magic trick before, and it was very popular on the Internet!"

"Can you think of another one? No, other shows will do too!"

Yuan Dewang said on the phone: "The main rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala are about to begin. I have been reviewing the program and confirming some lists recently!"

"Can I do a skit?"

Of course Chen Yu is best at skits, and he has too many programs in his head.

“This year’s language class is full!”

Language programs are the most numerous, and censorship is very strict; and even if they are censored, there is still a risk of being banned.

The main thing is to watch the rehearsal.

"How about you sing a song? You seem to be able to sing too!"

Yuan Dewang mainly wanted to invite Chen Yu to the Spring Festival Gala, but secondarily to perform.

This year's Spring Festival Gala focuses on rejuvenation, and the most suitable one in the country is none other than Chen Yu. He is currently at the forefront of young celebrities and is especially popular this year. The selection of candidates for the Spring Festival Gala must also take into account the popularity within a year.

Zhou Jilun is the best proof. This year he is completely popular in Southeast Asia. Last year, "Eight Dimensions" swept the country. This year's fourth album "Ye Huimei" has exploded in sales.

Yuan Dewang was invited to tender for the director of the 8 Spring Festival Gala at the end of August, and he had already announced in October that Zhou Jielun would definitely be in the role this year.

A group of netizens are extremely supportive and optimistic. This wave can be said to have gained him a lot of favor.

Jin Yue was scolded to death last year.

"Think of a show. It will be reviewed in the past few days. If you want to participate, you have to come!"

"Everything else can be communicated on the phone!"

Yuan Dewang also knew that Chen Yu should be very busy these days: "Do you have time these days?"

Yuan Dewang hoped that Chen Yu would come to the imperial capital and it would be better to have a face-to-face interview.

"Then I'll come tomorrow..."

It’s okay to change my flight ticket. The main event is the Tokyo Film Festival, and the awards ceremony won’t be until the 9th, so there are still 4 days left.

"Okay, then you can come directly to CCTV to see me tomorrow!"

"I've been on stage all this time!"

"it is good!"

Chen Yu hung up the phone and still didn't come to his senses.

You...are going to the Spring Festival Gala?

However, there is still a long distance between being invited and actually being sure of being able to attend; Deng Chao was shot many times for the last Spring Festival Gala, but he had already been invited.

"Well, are you going to have sex?"

Zhang Yimou looked at Chen Yu who was walking over and smiled.

Jin Yue walked away.

"The horoscopes haven't even been written yet. Let me prepare the program and review it first!"

"Hahaha, good thing. The Spring Festival Gala is still very helpful in improving your reputation!"

Zhang Yimou no longer needs to rely on this to increase his exposure, so he declined; but Chen Yu is different. For an actor, reputation is the most important thing, and his work is the second most important thing. Going to the Spring Festival Gala once is comparable to filming Several TV series and movies work well.

"Well, if you want to be able to get on, you must get on!"

Chen Yu nodded, and Zhang Yimou on the side immediately agreed: "Others haven't had this opportunity yet!"

"Ha ha!"

The two people smiled, said something to Jin Yue who was busy there, and left the Grand Theater.

They stayed in the same hotel, the Sheraton next door.

Huo Jianqi and several others had already gone back.

"Are you going to the Golden Horse in December?"

Lao Mouzi asked Chen Yu, and the two of them walked back to the hotel.

"Golden horse?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "I don't know. Is the list out?"

"It came out last night, didn't you watch it?"

Zhang Yimou smiled a little, his wrinkles squeezed together: "Didn't you know that you were shortlisted for Best Actor? Didn't anyone in your company tell you?"

"No……"

Not really, mainly because Chen Yu's schedule is very busy these days, and the Golden Rooster Awards and Tokyo Film Festival are coming together, so Ji Qiannan probably didn't have time to watch it.

"You nominated, "The Blind Shaft"!"

"It's good that your film can be nominated in China, but don't even think about winning; however, the Golden Horse is still a possibility!"

"Did you mention "Hero"?"

Chen Yu asked back.

"Hero" was somewhat neglected this time, but the result was not bad. It won two major awards - Best Cooperative Feature Film and Best Director, and it still gave Lao Mouzi face.

There is indeed no one in the country who can play better than him.

Besides, the meaning of "Hero" is greater than the movie itself, so for this one, I have to give it the golden rooster.

"I didn't report it, so I'll give you newcomers a chance, hahaha!"

Zhang Yimou joked: "I won an Academy Award this year. I'm thinking of filming House of Flying Daggers, but I probably won't have time to do it!"

"..."

How willful!

Probably only Zhang Yimou dared to say this.

Which other director is not looking forward to participating in as many film festivals as possible, wishing he could go to all over the world.

Li Yang is almost done.

"Okay, I won't say any more, No. 10, filming the interior of "House of Flying Daggers"!"

"I have to go to Chongqing to take pictures of the last bamboo forest at the end of the month..."

Zhang Yimou told Chen Yu, and of course Chen Yu did not forget: "Okay, I will return to the team after Tokyo is over!"

"It should be possible to win another award for this movie, Jian Qi!"

Zhang Yimou mainly knows that since his old lover serves as the chairman, it is not a big problem to win an award. As for Chen Yu to win the best actor, it depends on his ability.

"I'll try!"

The two chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms.

Chen Yu turned on his computer and started checking the nominations for this year's Golden Horse Awards.

He was actually shortlisted for another Best Actor?
He picked up his phone and looked at the missed calls and text messages. Ji Qiannan actually called and informed him early in the morning. At that time, Chen Yu had just gotten off the plane and was rushing to Jiaxing.

I forgot about it instantly!
　Just arrived home after a long day's journey! More updates tomorrow! I will try to write another chapter today...
