Chapter 561 [126] The Biggest News! The Top Ten Stars of Chinese Cinema History!
"Shangguan Yunzhu, Sun Daolin, Ruan Lingyu, Zhou Xuan, Hu Die..."

These are all artists who have passed away.

After talking about 30 people, Chen Yu finally heard many actors who were still alive.

Yu Shizhi, the person who just presented him the award, is Shi Hui's nephew, but he is also an outstanding performing artist and the former president of the People's Art Theatre. His role as Wang Lifa, the owner of a teahouse in the drama "Teahouse", is a classic in the history of Chinese drama.

He is the only veteran actor who has become popular through drama.

"Wang Fuli, Gui Yalei, Tian Hua, Liu Xiaoqin, Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Aijia, Bruce Lee..."

"Zhou Runfa, Lin Qingxia, Lang Xiong, Cheng Long..."

Chen Yu has also discovered many of the older generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. This list should be arranged according to age.

First it was 1905 to 1949, then 49-78!

This classification is very meaningful: before liberation, after liberation, and then to reform and opening up!
Most of the outstanding actors born after 78 are seated in this convention and exhibition center, while only a small number of them are present from 49 to 78, as some have passed away.

Anita Mui, Zhang Guorong and others are on this list, as well as Liu Dehua, Ge You, Chen Peisi, Jiang Wen and many more.

Star Master Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi and Liang Jiahui also have it.

To be honest, this list is quite valuable.

There were many actors in the drama, but there were relatively few controversies, except for a few who would later become famous, such as Chen Chong, Lv Liping...until Kang Jianming read out the last person's name.

Chen Yu!

As the youngest among the top 100 actors of the century, Zhang Ziyi should be the second youngest after Chen Yu.

“Congratulations to all the above actors!”

"Let's go on stage together to receive the award!"

After Kang Jianming finished speaking, many people stood up.

For those who have passed away, of course their descendants will collect the money; if there are no descendants, then the unit will collect it.

After that, it was the top 100 directors, and Jiang Wen and Cheng Long were selected again.

After two rounds, when everyone including Chen Yu thought it was time to end, a leader from the Ministry of Culture announced the last award to be given out at this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

Star of the times!

The top ten stars of the Chinese cinema era in the past century.

A total of ten people can obtain it.

wow——

At this moment, many people sitting in the audience started to talk about it.

This award is of such great value.

There is only one person in an era who can get the Star of the Era. For example, from 1905 to 1915, only one person can get it.

“Star of the era from 05 to 15!”

Kang Jianming held a card in his hand and shouted, "Tan Xinpei!"

clap clap clap!
There was thunderous applause from below.

Almost everyone who is in the film industry knows this person.

He was the leading actor in China's first film "Dingjun Mountain" and also the first actor in Chinese history and the master of Peking Opera. Even Mr. Mei Lanfang was inspired and guided by him, and he was a figure as famous as his father.

The two of them have had experience of performing on stage together.

It is the legend of Mei Lanfang's previous generation.

The Imperial Capital Peking Opera Tan family has now developed its own school, which has had a profound influence on later generations. There is a saying in the industry that "one cannot sing without learning Tan's style."

"This first one is so powerful!"

"16-25 years, I don't know who it is, it shouldn't be Shi Hui!"

"Shi Hui was only born in 15, how could it be him?"

Just as everyone was whispering, the Star of the Times from 06 to 25 appeared on the big screen.

Li Minwei!
Many Hong Kong actors clapped their hands.

Many people in the mainland actually know this.

He is the father of Chinese documentaries and the founder of Hong Kong films. He founded Hong Kong's first film production company, "Hua Mei Pictures". Between 1924 and 1925, he went to the front lines to shoot on site. Many important historical facts and materials from the revolutionary war period have been well preserved, and he created a number of extremely precious news documentaries!
His wife was none other than Yan Shanshan, the first actress in China.

“This one is just as important!”

“A lot of the war-time scenes were taken by him!”

“Well, a lot of the war footage used in the movie is from that time!”

As everyone was talking, filmmakers from the 30s and 40s were awarded one by one.

"Movie Queens" Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu, Shi Hui, Shangguan Yunzhu, and Bruce Lee.

Each of them is an extremely brilliant figure in the Chinese star world.

"The winner of the 76-85 Era Star is Cheng Long!"

"The winner of the 86-95 Era Star is Zhang Yimou!"

"The winner of the 96-05 Times Star is——"

When the last name of the Star of the Times was called out, everyone in the audience turned their heads and looked in that direction: "Chen Yu!"

He won the same award as Hu Die, Shi Hui and others.

This award is of great value.

The period from 76 to 85 was indeed the most active period for Jackie Chan, and the period from 86 to 95 was also the most glorious time for Zhang Yimou.

"Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", "To Live", "Not One Less"... each of them has won major international awards.

And Chen Yu was indeed the first person after the new millennium.

He won the Grand Slam title of Best Actor at the three major film festivals, plus the Golden Rooster and Tokyo Film Awards, and was nominated for the Golden Globe and China's three major film awards. Although he is still young, many people in the audience did not feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with his numerous honors.

If he didn't win the era from 96 to 05, who else could have won?

"This... is indeed in line with the requirements!"

“But when I get it together with the older generation, I always feel that there is something special…”

"Actually not. Chen Yu is dead now. His achievements are basically on par with Bruce Lee's!"

"Hahahaha, that's true, it's true!"

"The only Grand Slam actor in Asia, he will be deified after his death!"

"But I think it should be Star Lord!"

"I think it's Star Master too!"

"Master Xing's works have enough influence, but in terms of honors, he really can't compare with Chen Yu. Besides, this is held in the mainland, and the organizers must also consider this factor. Several people in Hong Kong have already won it!"

"..."

Many viewers who were watching the live broadcast of the Golden Rooster Awards also started to make fun of it, but no one said that Chen Yu did not deserve the award.

Some people at most think that Stephen Chow can compete with him, but the vast majority actually stand on Chen Yu's side.

He is the one who best fits the situation between 96 and 05.

Accompanied by the warmest applause from the audience standing up, Cheng Long and others held up the trophy, and the 14th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 25th Golden Rooster Awards officially came to a close.

Chen Yu never thought that he would win four awards.

This was something he had never thought of when he first came to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards.

Best Supporting Actor, Filmmaker of the Year, Top 96 Actors of the Century, plus Star of the 05- Era.

These last two trophies were specially made.

The 100 Greatest Actors of the Century is a standing figure, surrounded by films, cameras, etc. The pedestal has the names of the 100 winners, with the winners standing out. It is Chen Yu's trophy, with the two characters Chen Yu in gold. The Star of the Times is similar, with a golden rooster crowing in the morning and the names of the top ten stars of the era below.

Chen Yu is at the bottom row, highlighted in gold.

There are also four shiny red certificates.

"I didn't expect that he would be the person who won the most Golden Rooster Awards this year..."

Where does this make sense? !
Chen Yu smiled and shook her head. Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to her, was holding several of Chen Yu's trophies, and there was an excitement on her face. If it were an ordinary person, there would be a lot of complaints, after all, she was nominated for three awards, but only won the lowest gold content New Actor Award, and she won it together with three other people.

But she has indeed become more and more of a little fan of Chen Yu. Her boyfriend is so outstanding that not only does she feel proud, but she also feels that she has good taste.

Many people may not like the words "XX girlfriend", but Liu Yifei currently obviously enjoys being called "Chen Yu's girlfriend".

"I'm going backstage for an interview!"

"I guess I have to take this trophy too!"

Chen Yu came backstage with four trophies, and many reporters surrounded him immediately.

In fact, this scene was a bit funny. Chen Yu held two trophies in one hand, as if he was showing off. But looking at his appearance, one could not be jealous at all, because he could not hold the trophies with both hands, and they were about to fall.

"Chen Yu you——"

"Excuse me, can I put the trophy aside? I really can't hold it!"

Chen Yu had no choice. If he didn't take four, he would be disrespectful to the organizers and the media because they wanted to take pictures; if he took one, he would feel it was too high-profile since there were so many veteran artists present.

Chen Yu asked other award winners to be interviewed first, and after putting down the trophy, he went to support them. As a junior, he still had to do the work on this occasion.

Don't be too arrogant. This circle looks turbid, and seniority-based promotion is ingrained in people's DNA.

After being busy for a long time, he finally started to accept interviews.

Of course the reporters all saw it, and this actually counts as some plus points; at least you pretend to do it, while some people are too lazy to even pretend.

Cheng Long next to him was also helping others. Sometimes respect really is mutual.

"Congratulations, Chen Yu, for winning four trophies!"

"Did you ever think you could get so much before you came here?"

When the Sina reporter asked, Chen Yu quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, "Not at all. It was really unexpected. I didn't even think I could win an award because the teachers nominated this time were all very strong. But in the end, I was able to win Filmmaker of the Year, 100 Years and 100 Stars, which was really unexpected!"

"I also have to thank the Golden Rooster jury. I am unworthy of this award. Keep up the good work!"

"..."

Chen Yu said some polite words and quickly ended the interview with Jinji.

Obviously, he should be able to grab a few more front-page headlines later; this kind of exposure is already influential enough for Chen Yu. If he were to shoot variety shows or commercials, it would indeed be a bit overexposed.

Apart from global endorsements, Chen Yu is unable to promote his products in China, so many other small advertisements and commercial performances have all been stopped.

At present, there are only a few brands in China that we have cooperated with before, such as Volkswagen, Bird Mobile Phones, and Moutai. In the past two years, we have cooperated with Sina, Metersbonwe, and Pepsi.

After saying hello to Cheng Long, Zhang Yimou and others, Chen Yu walked towards the hotel.

Liu Yifei had already returned early. She originally wanted to wait at the door, but there are still many fans waiting outside. The current domestic entertainment environment, not knowing whether it is because of Chen Yu or the influence of Japanese and Korean trends, has seen the emergence of many star-chasing buds.

This was 1-2 years earlier than in the previous life, and the overall development of the entertainment industry driven by Chen Yu was indeed a significant factor.

He cannot change this major trend and can only restrain himself and his fans.

Chen Yu was too lazy to use the methods often used in fan circles in later generations; and his agency Chen Yu also clearly stipulated that they were not allowed to support official water armies, brush reviews, buy articles, etc.

This actually already existed in 05 in the previous life, but it has become more severe in this life.

……

"unhappy!"

Inside the hotel, Liu Yifei looked at the four trophies placed in front of her, as well as the New Actor Award that stood alone and looked particularly pitiful next to it.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit together, like a slap in the face.

It feels like the new actor trophy is also being used to collide with others.

"Of these four awards, I will definitely not be able to get two in my lifetime!"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu with some resentment. Chen Yu smiled and said, "You are very self-aware!"

A series of fatal pinches instantly started from Liu Yifei's hands.

Chen Yu quickly covered his waist and handed the 100 Best Actors of the Century and the Star of the Times to Liu Yifei. "Here I give it to you. Actually, these trophies won't have much significance in two years, but the Best Actor and Actress awards will be mentioned year after year as long as there are Golden Rooster Awards and film festivals!"

"That's different, it has a different meaning!"

"It was just a good time. I happened to catch up. I was lucky!"

Although this kind of luck also needs to be obtained through strength.

If you don't have the ability, luck won't favor you.

The two hugged each other tenderly, and soon they both went into the bathroom. Liu Yifei wanted to touch Chen Yu's trophy.

Silent all night.

The next day, all the media in China, without exception, were promoting yesterday's grand Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

"The Centennial Anniversary of Chinese Films: The Golden Rooster Awards Conclude!"

"Cheng Long is crowned the best actor, and the oldest actress in history, Jin Yaqin, is born!"

"Chen Yu unexpectedly won four awards!"

《The list of the top 100 actors and directors of the past 100 years is revealed! 》

"A century of Chinese cinema, ten eras, and stars from each era - the top ten stars of Chinese film history!"

"Chen Yu won the Times Star of 96-05!"

……

After flipping through the news on his phone, Chen Yu said goodbye to Zhang Guorong and others, and then rushed to the airport with Liu Yifei; with the end of the Eastern Film Festival and the Golden Rooster Awards, it was time to return to the crew.

He has to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow night to finish filming "Fast and Furious 3" as soon as possible so that he can return to the Central Academy of Drama to take directing courses.

During this period, when he had nothing to do at night, he would also watch teaching videos.

The next time point is to plan the next film and promote the Lunar New Year film "A World Without Thieves".

At present, the gimmick of Chinese Mr. and Mrs. Smith has been hyped up. This is also the real big screen male and female protagonist couple of Liu Yifei and Chen Yu; many fans are obviously still very much looking forward to it.

After all, Chen Yu only made a cameo appearance in "The Village" and "The Two of Us", and neither of those films were released.

With such publicity, plus the popularity of their official announcement some time ago, as well as the popularity brought about by Chen Yu's Golden Rooster Award and Dongying, "A World Without Thieves" has become a blockbuster work in the Lunar New Year holiday.

Seeing this trend, Huo Yuanjia has also scheduled the film's release date to the end of January.

He didn't want to compete head-on with "A World Without Thieves" and "The Promise" at all. In addition, "King Kong" will be released at the end of the year, and there will be a lot of Hong Kong movies piled up in early January next year, so "Huo Yuanjia" will have no choice.

Throughout the Lunar New Year holiday season, apart from "The Promise", "A World Without Thieves" is the most popular.

Moreover, "A World Without Thieves" was released a week earlier than "The Promise", on December 12th. This made countless people feel that Feng Xiaogang's film should be more afraid of Chen Kaige.

Even though he has a lineup like Chen Yu and Ge You, he still has no confidence when facing Chen Kaige, the top director in China after Zhang Yimou.

Brother Kaizi even made a bold statement that the Lunar New Year box office champion will definitely belong to "The Promise". He is very optimistic about the quality of this film and has great confidence in it. It has even been sold at a sky-high price of 3000 million US dollars abroad, and foreigners have given it thumbs up. How can it not be good?

Therefore, in terms of marketing, Huayi was still weaker than "The Promise" due to the influence of Wang Jinhua's collective job-hopping of artists.

And under such propaganda, Chen Yu boarded a plane to the United States.

It was as if the battle between "A World Without Thieves" and "The Promise" had nothing to do with him.

Indeed, he didn’t take “The Promise” seriously at all, but anyone who has been reborn knows this clearly; Chen Yu will tell the media this before the film is released, let Kaizi break down his defense first, and then give him a big shit.

This time, if I don’t beat him to death in one go, Chen Yu will take his surname!
Oh, Benjia, then Benjia should be beaten even more.

Chen Yuke still has several tricks up his sleeve and is waiting for Chen Kaige's response; if he doesn't speak too much, it would be fine and let netizens take action; if they really regard him as an opponent to gain traffic and do marketing, Chen Yuke obviously won't be polite!
