Another blockbuster hit for the Spring Festival film season!

"Chen Yu's 'Bruce Lee' Movie Set for Spring Festival Release, Paying Tribute to the Legend!"

"A Battle of Titans: Who Will Reign Supreme in the Age of Kung Fu?"

Chen Yu vs. Jackie Chan: A Global Kung Fu Craze Ignites During the Lunar New Year!

Li An and Chen Yu collaborate on a masterpiece, "Bruce Lee"—stay tuned!

……

Early in the morning.

Following Li An's announcement, reports about the release date of "Bruce Lee" flooded the entire internet.

Major media outlets are discussing this extensively.

This caused a sensation in mainland China.

After all, with films like "The Forbidden Kingdom" scheduled for release during the Spring Festival, countless eyes are now focused on "Bruce Lee".

As one of the world's most influential IPs, it has always been a source of great enthusiasm.

Furthermore, the fact that Chen Yu is playing the role has greatly increased everyone's expectations.

With various powerful companies setting their release dates for the Spring Festival, it's clear that a decisive battle has begun.

Bruce Lee VS The Forbidden Kingdom.

CJ7 vs. Kung Fu Dunk.

Who will be the kung fu champion?
The Spring Festival film season is clearly in complete chaos; it remains to be seen who can lead the way.

"This year's Spring Festival is going to be interesting!"

"Chen Yu, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Stephen Chow, and Zhou Jielun, it's simply a battle of gods!"

"The fighting is so fierce, I don't even know who to support."

"At present, aren't all of these people prominent figures?"

"The first on-screen showdown between Jet Li and Jackie Chan is definitely a hot topic."

"I think Yu Ge's 'Bruce Lee' is more sentimental, and I will definitely watch it this time."

"..."

Netizens are discussing the situation animatedly, and they can't help but worry about the box office prospects during the Spring Festival.

Putting everything else aside, the dates for the two Js (Jay and J) have already been confirmed.

If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't choose to confront it head-on, otherwise it would be a disastrous start.

Perhaps only Chen Yu could be completely unafraid.

However, what they like to see most is a diverse range of works, because only in this way can they see more good works.

***
at the same time.

Huayi Brothers' office.

Wang Zhonglei stared intently at the computer screen in front of him, his brows furrowed deeply.

It's clear that the air pressure is extremely low.

"really--"

Wang Zhonglei snorted and took off his glasses.

She gently rubbed her temples.

At this moment, his temples were throbbing with pain, and he was truly at his wit's end.

"As expected of the Spring Festival film season, Chen Yu is very confident this time!"

"Do you dare to confront us head-on?"

"They've really grown too big for their britches; they don't take us seriously at all..."

Wang Zhonglei gritted his teeth, trying his best to calm himself down.

The matter is settled, and no amount of dissatisfaction can change it.

"Of course I'm confident."

"Chen Yu has such strong box office appeal, he must want a piece of the pie."

Wang Zhongjun suppressed his displeasure.

"However, it's not certain who will win or lose yet; our strength this time is not to be underestimated!"

"A Hollywood blockbuster, and the first on-screen showdown between Jackie Chan and Jet Li."

"This gimmick alone is enough to attract a large following and evoke nostalgia among viewers!"

After rationally analyzing the situation, Wang Zhongjun didn't think they were at fault.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Even though Chen Yu's influence is now immeasurable, it may not be able to rival the collaboration between Jack and J.

Hearing his older brother's words, Wang Zhonglei's mood visibly improved.

"Furthermore, there's Stephen Chow and Zhou Jielun."

"The bi-weekly showdown will also spark heated discussions among viewers; the Spring Festival period is just too brutal."

"However, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

"Right!"

Wang Zhongjun's analysis inevitably made Wang Zhonglei suspicious.

The greater the competition, the easier it is to become marginalized.

In the end, who knows what the final outcome will be?

"Just think about it, so many blockbusters are released in the same period."

"The level of popularity is absolutely unprecedented!"

"The greater the popularity, the more people will discuss it."

"Only in this way will more people go to the cinema."

That's the correct answer.

But there will still be deviations in the end.

In the fierce competition among various forces, there will inevitably be those who become cannon fodder.

"I wonder if any of them will be withdrawn?"

Wang Zhonglei sighed; he had been overwhelmed with problems lately.

The results, instead of bringing him relief, have exacerbated his anxieties.

Perhaps it was Chen Yu's overwhelming strength that instilled fear in him.

Such words should not be spoken openly, otherwise one would surely become a laughingstock.

However, Wang Zhonglei was not exaggerating; Chen Yu put much more pressure on him than on his other two works.

"Withdrawal?"

"Would you have backed down if you were in my shoes?"

Faced with Wang Zhongjun's question, Wang Zhonglei pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

"will not."

I definitely have to give it a try, no matter what.

This time the hype is unprecedented. The news has already been released, so there's no reason to back down.

Furthermore, they are not the only ones who are worried.

Taking a risky move in chess.

It might have a positive effect on them.

The two continued talking, and the tension from before disappeared.

To be precise, it should be said that they accepted their fate.

Since the situation has already occurred, they have no other option but to promote their work properly.

"We must secure the top screening spot for 'The Forbidden Kingdom' during the Spring Festival!"

"That's the key!"

Wang Zhongjun suddenly spoke up, and Wang Zhonglei didn't hesitate at all: "Yes, I'll find someone to do public relations right now. We have to crack this tough nut of a movie theater chain!"

"The absolute minimum is to be on par with Chen Yu!"

Jackie Chan and Jet Li can't afford to lose face like this.

A highly anticipated action blockbuster featuring two veteran actors has received less screen time in mainland China than a rising Hollywood star.
This is clearly not what Huayi wants to see.

"Okay, understand!"

Wang Zhonglei closed the door and quickly left.

……

Hong Kong, Star Overseas.

"Have you seen today's news?"

When faced with a question from his friend Gordon Chan, Stephen Chow paused.

"You know."

"Unless absolutely necessary, I rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry."

Stephen Chow shrugged.

When he's not filming, he focuses more on his personal life.

Having tea with friends when he has free time is one of his favorite activities.

"You brought this up specifically, so it must be something important?"

There are naturally no taboos between close friends.

Gordon Chan nodded, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Stephen Chow in front of him.

Despite being only in his forties, his temples were already streaked with gray.

It looks rather weathered.

"Bruce Lee Movie Set for Chinese New Year Release!"

"You've run into your former leading man again!"

"Oh?"

Stephen Chow took the phone from Gordon Chan.

The title that appeared above was about Chen Yu.

As he flipped through the pages, the latter showed absolutely no envy.

He worked with Chen Yu.

As the lead actor in "Kung Fu Hustle," Chen Yu was not yet the top Asian actor he is today.

Even domestically, he isn't very well-known.

When the two had just started filming together, he discovered a drive in Chen Yu.

That feeling is still unforgettable to him.

Whether filming or handling work, Chen Yu's enthusiasm always made him feel gratified.

Even now that he has become the box office champion in mainland China, Stephen Chow has never heard of any reports of Chen Yu acting like a diva.

Such quality is truly remarkable.

"Nothing to say about this head-on confrontation?"

Gordon Chan looked at Stephen Chow with a leisurely air.

He knew his friend well; he had poured countless hours of effort into filming "CJ7".

His anticipation for "CJ7" is no less than his commitment to his original creative vision. "I'm really looking forward to it."

Stephen Chow answered the question very seriously.

He was indeed looking forward to Chen Yu's "Bruce Lee".

Compared to the increasingly uneven quality of films in recent years, he hopes that the film industry can be injected with fresh blood.

Moreover, his lifelong idol was Bruce Lee.

Stephen Chow sees Chen Yulai's casting in his autobiography as a kind of preordained inheritance.

He was happy to see this happen.

"When I first worked with Yu-zai, I could tell he was extraordinary!"

Upon hearing his friend's comment, Gordon Chan did not respond further.

Perhaps this head-on confrontation between the two will become a legendary tale.

At this time, Chen Yu was clearly unaware of just how chaotic the outside world was.

It's no exception that it caused a global sensation.

The North American market is also eagerly anticipating this highly anticipated Bruce Lee biopic, given Bruce Lee's already considerable popularity in North America and Europe.

Chen Yu went to bed late yesterday.

When she opened her eyes again, Liu Yifei was snuggled in bed scrolling through her phone.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, and only then did she realize what was happening.

"Look!"

"The whole internet is talking about Bruce Lee."

"This time it really is a case of stumbling into the imperial palace by accident. Everyone is betting on who will stand out in this Spring Festival film season."

Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, Chen Yu looked over.

The internet is abuzz with discussion.

Most people are looking forward to this year's Spring Festival film season.

After all, the combination of so many great works was truly inspiring for them.

This is exactly the outcome Chen Yu wanted to see.

Only in this way can the enthusiasm of all filmmakers be mobilized.

Only then can they face their own work squarely, instead of using some low-quality works to poison the eyes of the audience.

Li An sent a message to Chen Yu.

Besides informing everyone that the release date had been announced, they also expressed their deepest apologies.

With the Golden Horse Awards ceremony just around the corner, everyone is extremely busy.

So much so that there was no way to get away.

Chen Yu could naturally understand this matter.

That's not bad, after all, he and Liu Yifei can finally have some alone time.

The two enjoyed two comfortable days together.

Under these circumstances, the 44th Golden Horse Awards ceremony officially kicked off.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei got up very early.

Today is an important day, and they definitely need to prepare well.

When I opened the hotel room door, someone was already waiting at the door.

"Brother Yu, Yifei."

"I was sent by the organizers to pick you up."

"We can set off now."

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu in front of her. In the end, her husband was really popular. Even a five-minute journey was taken by someone who would come all the way to pick her up.

The two went downstairs directly under the guidance.

We then took a car to the Taipei Arena.

The roadside was already packed with people, who were shouting excitedly; the scene was even more bustling than the Golden Rooster Awards a few days ago.

As Chen Yu's first time participating in the Golden Horse Awards, it was enough to excite many people.

Most importantly, Taiwan's entertainment industry has always been much more developed than that of the mainland. The prevalence of fan culture has led many young girls in the area to become crazy fans of celebrities.

It will take another 5-6 years for mainland China's fan culture to surpass that of Taiwan and Hong Kong, becoming the most distorted phenomenon in Southeast Asia.

Right now, things are actually fine.

This year's Golden Horse Awards saw representatives from both Taiwan and mainland China, in addition to local Taiwanese film stars.

Soon everyone arrived at their respective dressing rooms and began getting their makeup done for the Golden Horse Awards that evening.

This time.

The Taipei Arena was packed with stars.

Zhou Jielun was about to enter the dressing room to talk to Chen Yu when someone pulled her back.

"Yayonara".

When Zhou Jielun turned around, he noticed Chen Jianzhou, a black man, appearing behind him.

As the host of this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony, the person in front of me was already fully prepared, with a well-tailored suit and makeup.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

The two had contacted each other recently, but Zhou Jielun did not publicly state that he would attend the Golden Horse Awards.

Actually——

One of the reasons for the sudden change of mind was Chen Yu.

Chen Yu has never attended the Golden Horse Awards ceremony before.

Little did they know, this time it would be completely unexpected.

Seeing that Zhou Jielun didn't seem inclined to answer the question, Chen Jianzhou naturally didn't press the matter further.

But he's more curious about something else now.

Did you know that Chen Yu's "Bruce Lee" is scheduled for release during the Spring Festival?

In response to Chen Jianzhou's question, Zhou Jielun nodded: "I know!"

"It just so happens that Brother Yu is here to attend the Golden Horse Awards. After we walk the red carpet, we can find an opportunity to have a good chat with him."

"what?"

After hearing Zhou Jielun's words, Chen Jianzhou couldn't help but have some doubts.

The two works were released during the Spring Festival.

That would absolutely be a fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jielun did not show any emotion.

Could it be that they've already given up?
It is important to understand that Chen Yu's influence is undeniable.

Any work would be utterly crushed if it were compared to his.

Compared to Chen Jianzhou's thoughts, Zhou Jielun did not have any such concerns.

He had a very good relationship with Chen Yu.

The two can be considered close friends.

We've finally waited for Chen Yu to come to Taiwan, so we'll definitely have a good chat later.

Naturally, they wouldn't bother with trivial matters.

Zhou Jielun truly values ​​his work.

But that was Chen Yu!
He won the Grand Slam in just two years.

This level of skill is something no one else in the entertainment industry could achieve.

In Zhou Jielun's view.

Even if he were to lose to Chen Yu, he wouldn't have any complaints; after all, movies aren't his home turf, his home turf is music.

The movie was just a hobby.

……

6 pm.

The Taipei Arena is already bustling with activity.

The stadium is adorned with sculptures symbolizing the Golden Horse on both sides, making it absolutely dazzling.

In the very center, there is a red carpet that leads directly to the stadium.

Next, a host of celebrities and actors will walk the red carpet to celebrate their moment of glory.

The red carpet was already surrounded by media reporters and spectators.

At the far end, there was a huge autograph board with the logos of all the sponsors on it.

Compared to the mainland, the Formosa Film Festival is not overly extravagant in its format.

As for other details, they are basically the same.

The area was surrounded by long guns and short cannons.

They were all looking forward to capturing the firsthand news of the day.

Simultaneously.

Sina Entertainment, Phoenix TV, Star Media, Tomato.com, and other major websites will all be broadcasting the entire red carpet and gala tonight.

The red carpet ceremony was hosted by veteran Taiwanese hosts Nie Yun and Lu Jiayi.

The two have hosted many variety shows and are known for their humor.

"Hello everyone!"

"You are now watching the 44th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, the red carpet event."

"I am the host, Nie Yun."

"Hello everyone, I am your host, Lu Jiayi."

The two were dressed in evening gowns, their elegant faces adorned with perfectly timed smiles.

As the two introduced themselves, enthusiastic cheers erupted from all around.

After the warm-up act.

The camera panned to the entrance of the red carpet, where a line of Lexus vehicles, in partnership with the official agency, were parked at the starting point.

With this, the Golden Horse Awards red carpet ceremony officially began.

"It's begun! It's begun!"

"Next, we'll see Brother Yu."

"Our Jielun is actually participating! We're really excited!"

"Of course! His movie 'Secret' is a huge hit in Taiwan, isn't it?"

"..."

As soon as the live stream started, netizens flocked to it.

After all, it was the Golden Horse Awards ceremony that they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Those who stay in the live stream are true fans.

The rules are basically the same; it's just a matter of walking the red carpet and then having an awards ceremony.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the first car slowly drove up.

Everyone began to eagerly await it.

Each person speculated whether the first one to appear would be their crush! (End of Chapter)
