Full-time actor

2007 12 Month 3 Day.

The plane slowly landed at Beijing Capital International Airport, and Liu Yifei's mood had reached its peak.

"Honey, we're finally back in China!"

Perhaps influenced by Liu Yifei's emotions, Chen Yu was also moved by the scene before him.

Budapest may be beautiful, but it can never compare to home.

After getting off the plane, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei dragged their luggage out.

Reporters from major media outlets had been waiting for a long time.

With the Golden Horse Awards approaching, they naturally paid close attention to Chen Yu's whereabouts.

As the two walked out of the airport, cameras and microphones were immediately pointed at them, and flashes went off incessantly.

"Brother Yu! Qianqian!"

"Welcome back to China."

Chen Yu couldn't help but rub his forehead; their whereabouts could never escape the eyes of these reporters.

However, this time he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Seeing that Chen Yu had stopped, reporters from various media outlets rushed over.

"Brother Yu, did you specifically return to China from Budapest to attend the Golden Horse Awards?"

How is the filming of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" progressing?

"Have you seen the Golden Horse nominations? Do you have anything to say about this year's awards?"

"..."

A barrage of questions came crashing down on us.

Seeing that Chen Yu had no intention of leaving, the reporters from various media outlets breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Catching Chen Yu wasn't easy, so we finally cooperated with them this time.

"of course."

"The main reason for returning to China this time is to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony."

Chen Yu answered the questions very seriously.

Having learned from his past life, he approached all his work with great rigor and focus.

"With 11 Golden Horse nominations for 'Better Days,' are you confident of winning this time?"

11 items?
Chen Yu was satisfied with the result.

"Have confidence."

"I believe that this Golden Horse Awards ceremony will achieve great results."

The nomination list for the Golden Horse Awards was released several days ago.

However, Chen Yu and the others were busy with various matters and had not yet had time to look at it.

Despite his lofty ambitions, he doesn't come across as exaggerating.

After all, at Chen Yu's age, most people are still in the early stages of learning and struggling.

However, the person in front of me has already made a qualitative leap.

"What are your thoughts on director Zhang Yimou's absence from the Golden Horse Awards this year, Brother Yu?"

Faced with the question from the person in front of him, Chen Yu smiled and looked at everyone.

"Really? I just found out about this myself."

"I believe Director Zhang must have his own ideas."

Chen Yu knew that "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" was not nominated for the Golden Horse Awards in his previous life.

The main markets for this film are China and Japan.

More attention is being paid to other international film festivals and Asian film awards.

After asking a few more questions, the major media outlets finally prepared to let Chen Yu leave.

"Then let's first wish Brother Yu the best of luck in completing the final piece of the Chinese music three-gold medal grand slam."

"Win the Golden Horse Award!"

Everyone offered their congratulations, and Chen Yu nodded.

"thank you all!"

Ji Qiannan had been waiting for a long time.

As Chen Yu's agent, he has a rather leisurely life.

In most cases, you only need to handle company matters.

"Sister Nan~"

Liu Yifei greeted her sweetly.

The two got into the car.

Returning to the city I've been away from for so long, I feel great.

As for Ji Qiannan, she has already begun reporting on her recent work.

"The Golden Horse Executive Committee held a press conference a few days ago to announce the nominees!"

"This is the printed nomination. If it weren't for you, this year's Golden Horse Awards probably wouldn't have generated so much buzz!"

Ji Qiannan handed over the list, and Liu Yifei leaned over to look at it with Chen Yu.

This year's Golden Horse Awards nominations include 11 nominations for "Better Days".

Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best New Performer, Best Original Screenplay, etc... As for Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises," it was equally impressive.

The award was shortlisted for 8 awards.

The two are evenly matched in strength.

Chen Yu's thoughts drifted away.

In his previous life, the most successful work at the Golden Horse Awards was Li An's "Lust, Caution".

Tony Leung won Best Actor for his role in this film.

Li An also won the Best Director award.

The sudden emergence of "Bruce Lee" in this lifetime nipped all of this in the bud.

Chen Yu looked at the Best Actress award first.

"Better Days" - Liu Yifei.

"Intention" - Chen Chong.

"The Ballad of Yunshui" - Li Bingbing.

Kidnapping – Liu Ruoying

"The Sun Also Rises" - Zhou Yun.

The winner of the Best Actress award in the previous life was Chen Chong, the lead actress of "Yi".

This work is a semi-autobiographical film directed by and starring Chen Chong, which tells the story of her mother's personal experiences.

This film portrays a beautiful woman who is overwhelmed by life's pressures and is swallowed up by the times in a foreign land.

It vividly portrays the struggle for survival and cultural clashes.

But in this life—

The situation is clearly different from the previous one, and "Better Days" should be more favored by the Golden Horse Awards.

This is not Chen Yu trying to pat himself on the back.

The Golden Horse Awards place greater emphasis on artistry and innovation, and the subject matter of "Better Days" is unprecedented.

However, both are positioned as art films.

It's not clear which is stronger or weaker at the moment.

Having already won the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Rooster Awards for Best Actress, Chen Yu would rather see Liu Yifei achieve her wish.

Our gaze sweeps over the best feature film.

Chen Yu frowned slightly; the competition for the awards remained fierce.

"Better Days".

"meaning".

"The Way of Survival When You Have No Choice"

"track".

The Sun Also Rises.

Leaving aside "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Sun Also Rises".

As a Hong Kong crime thriller, "Tracking" was highly anticipated in its time.

Simon Yam plays a calm and experienced inspector in the surveillance team.

As for Tony Leung Ka-fai, the versatile actor, he plays a ruthless and cunning villain in the series.

The two are evenly matched in strength.

It has presented countless classic scenes to everyone.

However, if Chen Yu remembers correctly, this work did not seem to have won an award.

As for the four major awards, there are also Best Director and Best Actor.

The previous life's "Lust, Caution" has been replaced by "Better Days".

This time, Chen Yu will compete for Best Actor alongside Ge Mixing, Zhang Xiaoquan, and Jiang Wen.

As for Best Director—

It will also be selected from these works.

Chen Yu and Jiang Wen are perhaps the most likely to be selected.

After all, these two works are currently highly controversial, and they are also receiving more attention than the other two.

For Chen Yu, besides Jiang Wen, the biggest rival at this year's Golden Horse Awards is "Yi" starring Chen Chong.

His thoughts gradually came back.

There was no suspense regarding this year's Golden Horse Awards.

at the same time.

Major media outlets have begun vying to publish the news.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei quietly return to China to attend the Golden Horse Awards!

"Better Days" tops the list with 11 more nominations!

A Clash of Titans: The Love-Hate Relationship Between Chen Yu and Jiang Wen!

Who will win Best Actress? Find out on December 8th!

The news was met with excitement from netizens.

Chen Yu's fans were quite excited, as their idol's nomination was an honor in itself.

"expect--"

"Our Brother Yu is truly amazing! He's sure to win the Golden Horse Award this time, thus achieving a grand slam of the three major Chinese music awards!"

"It should have been taken a long time ago, but Chen Yu just didn't go for the past few years!"

"Wishing our Sissi a third consecutive Best Actress award!"

"Zhang Yimou didn't participate this time, so the next showdown will be between Chen Yu and Jiang Wen."

"..."

Netizens started discussing it animatedly. Soon, a wave of discussion swept the internet.

Not only the media and netizens, but also major entertainment companies took notice of Chen Yu's interview.

This time, it's truly a triumphant return.

On the other side, the car came to an abrupt stop.

Chen Yu gently woke up the sleeping Liu Yifei. They had returned home and could finally get a good rest for two days.

"Yifei, we're home."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei slowly opened her eyes.

They did not inform Shen Xiaoqin and the others about their return this time.

However, there's already a deluge of news about them online, so their families must already know they've returned.

as predicted.

The two had just gotten out of the car with their luggage when Shen Xiaoqin and Liu Xiaoli appeared at the villa's entrance.

"The timing is perfect; we can have lunch right after getting off the bus."

Liu Yifei quickly ran over and grabbed Shen Xiaoqin and Liu Xiaoli.

"Mom, Auntie."

"I brought you all gifts this time I came back."

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter, who looked much rounder than when she left after not seeing her for half a month.

It seems that Chen Yu took good care of her.

"Come in quickly, we've been waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Shen Xiaoqin came to the car and pulled Ji Qiannan out of the car together.

How can anyone leave hungry?
The dinner table.

The two mothers were the happiest, after all, their precious little ones were back.

Chen Yu wasn't hungry, so he quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then put down his chopsticks.

"I'm stuffed."

After saying that, he grabbed his laptop and hurried upstairs.

There was absolutely no chance for the people at the table to speak.

Chen Yu locked himself in his room again, busy writing the script for "Tangshan Earthquake".

He didn't have much time left, because the earthquake in his previous life happened on May 12, 2008.

It's already December.

He had to work overtime to finish it in just five months.

Then, he announced his plan.

Everyone present was stunned by Chen Yu's hurried departure, especially Shen Xiaoqin.

We finally managed to get together for a meal, what's the rush?

"Sisi, what's wrong with Xiaoyu?"

"What's keeping him so busy?"

Faced with Shen Xiaoqin's question, Liu Yifei naturally answered truthfully.

"It seems to be a collaboration with the Tangshan government to write a script about the earthquake."

"I heard it's in a bit of a rush."

"He had already started creating while we were filming."

Everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder, I've been so busy ever since I got back.

They didn't talk much during the meal, presumably because they were thinking about the script.

"Cooperating with the government is something we should definitely take seriously."

Shen Xiaoqin sighed almost imperceptibly.

She was naturally happy to see her son succeed, but ultimately she didn't want him to overwork himself.

Liu Xiaoli seemed to be deep in thought.

"Sisi, you two must take care of each other while you're out and about."

Seeing her mother say this, Liu Yifei nodded while gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Don't worry~"

As for Chen Yu—

Writing the script wasn't difficult for him; the challenge lay in handling the details.

After all, as a plagiarist, most of the script's content was in his head.

All you need to do is write it down.

Recalling the calamities of his past life, Chen Yu's expression turned solemn.

dong dong dong.

A knock sounded at the door, and Liu Yifei peeked in, holding a plate of pre-cut fruit.

"Honey, will this bother you?"

Chen Yu smiled, stood up, and pulled her into his arms.

"will not."

"It's almost finished writing."

"So fast?!"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened, her expression showing considerable shock.

We have to be quick.

In this lifetime, we must take precautions against earthquakes.

only--

I can't explain this situation in detail to Liu Yifei.

The latter went to the computer, glanced at it a couple of times, and then turned his gaze back to Chen Yu.

There was a hint of heartache in her eyes.

"Thank you~"

Liu Yifei put her arms around Chen Yu's neck.

Liu Yifei had seen how hard he had worked these past few days, neglecting sleep and meals.

He often continues to create late into the night.

Chen Yu didn't find it hard; doing these things only brought him a sense of happiness.

After all, even if he had ideas in his previous life, he had no opportunity to use them.

Jingle Bell--

Chen Yu picked up the phone casually.

On the screen, Jiang Wen's name was flashing.

I suppose they've already seen the news online, and this phone call must have been about two things.

"A warm welcome to Director Chen's return to China!"

Jiang Wen's voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Chen Yu and Liu Yifei burst out laughing.

"That's still not as awesome as you, Director Jiang!"

After hearing Chen Yu's response, Jiang Wen calmed down a bit: "When do you plan to set off?"

It's obvious without even guessing that Jiang Wen was asking when to go to Kinmen.

"I booked my flight for the day after tomorrow."

"I just returned from Budapest and was thinking of resting at home for a couple of days."

After hearing Chen Yu's words, Jiang Wen began to ponder.

"Let's arrange a group meeting then."

"Brother has something good to show you."

"..."

Upon hearing Jiang Wen's words, Chen Yu naturally knew what it was about.

I didn't think much about it.

The two discussed the Golden Horse Awards, mainly focusing on who would be lucky enough to win the grand prize.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei lazily leaned on Chen Yu's shoulder.

"what happened?"

He probably sensed Liu Yifei's emotions.

Chen Yu turned around and looked directly at Liu Yifei in front of him.

"I just feel tired for you."

"I was writing a script for a while and didn't even have time to rest. I finally got back to China and had to go to an awards ceremony right away."

People often say...

The highest form of love is to cherish someone.

For Liu Yifei, no amount of honor could compare to Chen Yu being able to get a proper rest.

He pulled the person in front of him into his arms.

"How can you feel tired when you're shining brightly in your favorite field?"

Chen Yu has a goal to achieve even greater heights and go even further.

To make up for the regrets left over from the previous life.

Compared to these issues, Chen Yu is now more concerned about the upcoming Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Are you confident of winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress?

Liu Yifei pursed her lips, her expression becoming thoughtful.

Actually——

Compared to the Golden Rooster Awards, the Golden Horse Awards did not pose as much pressure this time.

Perhaps it was the Golden Rooster Awards that gave her confidence, so Liu Yifei is not as lacking in confidence as before when it comes to the Best Actress award.

"There should be."

After saying that, Liu Yifei laughed shyly.

"I believe you."

"Our Yifei will always shine."

"After all, the sun is supposed to be radiant."

Liu Yifei's smile froze on her face; those words undoubtedly made her heart clench.

Chen Yu said many encouraging words.

This one sentence, for some reason, filled her with power.

The two were finally able to get some rest.

As for whether he would win an award, Chen Yu was actually more concerned with... his Golden Horse Award acceptance speech and the future earthquake! (End of Chapter)
