Full-time actor

Amidst the high-pitched screams from both sides, Chen Yu, together with the cast and crew of "Better Days," finally arrived at the end of the red carpet.

"Wow, I finally met my idol!"

"Brother Nie Yun, do you know how excited I am?!"

"I'm so afraid that I'll ask him for his autograph any second now!"

The host, Lu Jiayi, playfully punched Nie Yun beside her, her face already flushed with excitement.

"Even if you're excited, you still have to go through the proper procedures~~"

"When you need an autograph later, remember to get me one."

Nie Yun raised an eyebrow.

As for Lu Jiayi, she had already grabbed the microphone and teleported to Chen Yu's side.

"Hello, Brother Yu!"

"My name is Lu Jiayi, and I am your most loyal fan."

Can I hug you?

"..."

Lu Jiayi makes no attempt to hide her feelings for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was both amused and exasperated. These Taiwanese girls were indeed open-minded, and the Taiwanese girls in the entertainment industry were even bolder than the last.

The problem is, Lu Jiayi is still holding the microphone.

As a result, her words spread to every corner of the Taipei Arena.

At her request, the audience on both sides of the red carpet had already created a frenzy.

If they could hug Chen Yu, in the eyes of some Taiwanese fans, that would be something that would definitely be worthy of a separate page in their family tree.

Seeing that Chen Yu did not refuse, Lu Jiayi was already impatient.

Adhering to the principle of "the more chaos the better," when Lu Jiayi approached Chen Yu, she blinked and first looked at Liu Yifei: "Yifei, you won't mind, will you?"

"do not mind."

Liu Yifei smiled gracefully and shook her head.

Actually, I was internally cursing.

The fact that her husband is so popular proves he's charming, but you, a slutty and shameless woman, are just too shameless.

But what to do?

This is their home turf.

Furthermore, the hosts on the island are generally more lively than those on the mainland, so although Liu Yifei had some complaints in her heart, she didn't actually show any resentment on her face.

main--

She is not a narrow-minded person, so of course she wouldn't fuss over such a small matter.

But I'm sure I'd roll my eyes at the other person in my mind.

"Then I'm going to hug you for a while!"

Lu Jiayi threw herself into Chen Yu's arms.

The unique pine scent emanating from the person in front of her captivated her.

As for Chen Yu...

He deliberately maintained a polite distance to avoid unnecessary physical contact with Lu Jiayi.

The interaction between the two caused a huge uproar in the live broadcast room.

"Let go of that boy, let me go first!"

"Help! This is a perfect example of a fangirl's successful comeback. I'm so envious that I can get so close to Brother Yu."

"I'm asleep, and I can dream about anything."

"Doesn't anyone care about Yifei? Can't this host be a little more distant?"

"Okay?"

Damn, don't you have any sense of boundaries? This is a bit like XSR.

Chen Yu instinctively stepped back.

He hugged Lu Jiayi tighter and tighter, knowing he had to be mindful of his behavior in public.

Furthermore, it's polite to agree to a hug.

His own fiancée was still by his side, yet this woman was still relentless.
Fortunately, the male host had some sense: "Are you done yet? It's my turn!"

"I want to hug my crush too."

"You naughty brat, how can you monopolize it all by yourself?"

Nie Yun forcefully pulled Lu Jiayi away and opened his arms wide with excitement.

This scene left everyone present both amused and exasperated.

The two hugged politely, while Nie Yun looked completely blissful.

"Brother Yu, you smell so good."

"Pfft..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two idiot hosts successfully amused her.

"I made a decision."

"I can't wash these clothes anymore. I'm going to frame them and hang them in the living room."

Nie Yun held the microphone, his shy demeanor as a grown man was almost unbearable to watch.

Even Tang Yan and Luo Jin couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that was just the highlight of my life."

"I have no regrets in this life."

Nie Yun was too lively, making Chen Yu and the others seem like greenhorns.

In fact, there was no need for the two hosts to put in any effort to warm up the atmosphere.

As long as Chen Yu is there, the atmosphere will never get dull.

Finally, it was time for the interview.

Nie Yun and Lu Jiayi, standing before him, finally calmed down.

Holding the microphone in a serious manner, he looked at Chen Yu in front of him and asked, "Brother Yu, how does it feel to be here in Taiwan for the first time?"

This is the basic procedure, so it's not surprising to be asked this question.

Chen Yu had already figured out the answer in his mind.

"It's my first time visiting Taiwan, so of course I'm incredibly excited!"

"For me, it is a great honor to be able to participate."

"Seeing the enthusiastic fans on both sides of the red carpet was particularly moving!"

"..."

Chen Yu's answer was versatile and also seemed quite serious.

“Well said!”

Lu Jiayi was the first to applaud. She had just said that she was a fan of Chen Yu, and it wasn't just for the sake of the show.

Even though he has reached the position of a top-tier actor, there is no arrogance in him.

On the contrary, they are very sincere in their dealings with others.

Then the two hosts started asking questions of Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, and a few others.

This shows that mainland filmmakers are not well-received in Taiwan.

The welcome for Chen Yu was quite different from what was expected; even for Liu Yifei, there was very little cheering.

It's clear that they like Chen Yu, not the movie "Better Days".

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so cold.

"Is Brother Yu confident he can win Best Picture?"

Nie Yun quickly took over the conversation and chimed in.

After hearing the question from the person in front of him, Chen Yu nodded: "Of course I have confidence, but the opponents are all very strong."

"No matter what the outcome, I will do my best."

Chen Yu had clearly seen what had just happened.

So today—

Besides attending the awards ceremony, he had something even more important to do.

This can also be considered revenge for Liu Yifei's coldness earlier.

"What are your plans for the future, Brother Yu?"

Nie Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at Liu Yifei beside Chen Yu.

The intention is all too obvious.

Chen Yu cleared his throat, as if he hadn't noticed the guy's deliberate gaze, and replied with a slightly calm tone, "Next, we're preparing a commercial film about an earthquake."

"The script is still in the writing stage. I will work hard to improve the storyline and present the best work to everyone."

what?
Did he mean it?

Nie Yun scratched his head, but still looked at the person in front of him seriously.

Chen Yu's answer undoubtedly caused an uproar.

Fans on both sides of the red carpet couldn't help but cheer.

Once these words were spoken, everyone understood.

The script was also written by Chen Yu himself.

Putting that aside, Chen Yu was filming "The Grand Budapest Hotel" not long ago, yet he still had the opportunity to write the script.

After raising this issue, Chen Yu's tone was light and cheerful.

The overall aura is extremely approachable.

"Earthquake-themed? Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

When asked by the host, Chen Yu straightened his expression.

He originally intended to use the Golden Horse Awards interview to bring up this matter.

"In today's world, where natural disasters are frequent, I hope that through my work, people can gain a substantial understanding of earthquakes."

"At the same time, I will personally donate funds to build earthquake-resistant structures in earthquake zones!"

"There will be a press conference later!"

What Chen Yu needs right now is popularity.

The reason for bringing "Aftershock" to the screen ahead of schedule is to let the public know about earthquakes.

This will allow us to implement the next strategy.

In any case, the tragic situation of the previous life must not be repeated.

Cheers erupted from both sides of the red carpet; such high-quality and high-volume performances are few and far between in the entertainment industry.

This is truly a blessing for people.

The topic had clearly veered off course, but who could blame us when Chen Yu was standing on the red carpet?

Because of Chen Yu's popularity, he had the most problems, and naturally, the time required was the longest.

Ideally, one should be able to handle every detail, no matter how small.

Just when Chen Yu thought it was over, the rather annoying female host unexpectedly held the microphone to his lips again. "Actually—"

"Having said all that, neither the awards nor the upcoming work arrangements are the most important things for movie fans!"

"???"

Lu Jiayi's words left Chen Yu and Liu Yifei somewhat puzzled.

What could be more important than these two things?
For a moment, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone was pondering the implied meaning behind the host's words.

"What we fans care about most is when you and Ms. Liu Yifei will get married?"

"Am I right?"

"Yes!"

The audience cheered as Lu Jiayi asked her question.

This matter had already piqued everyone's curiosity when they attended the Venice Film Festival.

After all, the two of them can now be said to have achieved success in both their careers and love lives.

Her status in the entertainment industry has long surpassed that of her peers.

Especially since the two are of marriageable age, good news is naturally on the horizon.

Although we shouldn't pay too much attention to their private lives, everyone just loves them so much.

"So, could you give us a little hint?"

"All the fans are waiting for your good news."

Chen Yu pondered for a long time.

"I won't ask you!"

“Every time I ask this question, the answer is ambiguous.”

Lu Jiayi handed the microphone to Liu Yifei, looking at her expectantly.

The intention is obvious.

Liu Yifei bit her lower lip lightly, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

He glanced sideways at Chen Yu.

Their gazes had already met in the air.

The fans in the live stream naturally noticed this.

It has to be said that after being together for so many years, the two should have started living like an old married couple.

Just looking at their affectionate demeanor, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are a couple deeply in love.

"Stop looking at Brother Yu!"

"Block."

Lu Jiayi stood between the two.

It's clear that we've reached the point where we need to get to the bottom of this.

"almost."

Liu Yifei gave an ambiguous answer, her expression looking quite cute and playful.

It's obvious that they didn't get the answer they wanted.

Lu Jiayi moved closer to Liu Yifei again.

"Soon?"

"When is 'soon'? Is there a specific timeframe?"

Fans on both sides of the red carpet strained their ears, afraid of missing any important information.

It must be said that the hosts from Taiwan really dare to ask questions.

If it were a film festival in mainland China or abroad, they generally wouldn't ask too many questions about this.

"never mind!"

"Let's be generous and decide whether it's the first half or the second half of next year?"

"We need to give our fans some time to adjust."

this--

In fact, even Liu Yifei and Chen Yu haven't decided when yet.

After all, there was a bet between the two.

Only after completion can the final result be determined.

Seeing his fiancée casting a pleading look at him, Chen Yu immediately leaned over and said, "Keep it a secret!"

Everyone's hearts sank instantly.

Lu Jiayi pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Tch~~~"

He still looked at Liu Yifei with unwavering hope, but the latter had already returned to Chen Yu's side.

To be honest, this golden couple is indeed pleasing to the eye.

"Yifei, just tell me."

"Or you can whisper it in my ear and I promise I won't tell anyone."

Lu Jiayi was clearly prepared to get to the bottom of things.

She directly used the charming and coquettish skills of Taiwanese girls.

Liu Yifei, naturally unable to bear this situation, immediately asked, "Isn't the awards ceremony about to begin?"

"Why don't we go in and attend the awards ceremony first?"

"As for our wedding date, we will definitely let everyone know next time. We will announce any news as soon as possible!"

Tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow is so much.

How many next times does life offer?

Lu Jiayi sighed deeply, but in the end, she still couldn't get any information out of her.

As for the fans in the live stream, they were even more disappointed.

However, this is ultimately their private matter, and even if you want to know, you'll have to wait until they're willing to tell you.

"We eagerly await their union and wish them a speedy happy ending!"

"No way, no way, are you planning to be in a relationship forever?"

"How about a wedding of the century? The kind where fans from both sides can participate?"

"That's a good idea, but it definitely won't be adopted."

"We've been waiting forever!"

"Isn't anyone looking forward to Yu Ge's new work?"

The viewers in the live stream chattered amongst themselves.

The long-term relationship between Chen Yu and Liu Yifei has aroused great anticipation among everyone.

However, today's news has given them even more to think about.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the cast and crew of "Better Days" walked towards the awards hall.

Finally escaped.

at the same time.

Those watching the live stream from the mainland already know about Chen Yuxin's new script.

Many directors and screenwriters are under immense pressure.

***
"Wasn't he filming a movie? How come he's writing a script again?"

Huayi office.

Wang Zhonglei had a serious expression, and his aura made him seem unapproachable.

What are you doing?
Chen Yu's ideas are always unpredictable.

Wang Zhonglei was already somewhat unhappy that his previous works had been overshadowed by others.

Now, things are really going well; Chen Yu is creating one masterpiece after another.

It gives the entertainment industry no chance to breathe at all.

"The disaster movie genre is quite novel."

In 2007, the film market was mostly divided into commercial films and art films.

Most of the films produced were period martial arts films, historical epics, comedies, and patriotic films.

Most of them shoot positive and uplifting works.

Few people would create disaster films, since it's not good to reopen old wounds; it only draws attention to the psychological trauma following a disaster.

Chen Yu, however, did the opposite.

Wang Zhongjun had to admire this.

"If this continues, Huayi will be trampled under his feet sooner or later."

Wang Zhonglei was somewhat exasperated.

Is it possible that we've already been trampled underfoot?
After all, he had already tricked us by releasing it during the Spring Festival.

If they continue to be suppressed and beaten like this, how will Huayi ever have a chance to turn things around?

They believed in the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them."

Wang Zhongjun didn't mind; if all else failed, they could just find an opportunity to cooperate with Chen Yu.

The focus shifts back to the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Chen Yu and the cast of "Better Days" arrived at the awards ceremony hall.

The spotlight shone on them, casting a dazzling light.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei walked straight to the second row.

As for Jiang Wen, he had clearly already looked in their direction.

He smiled broadly after noticing Chen Yu's appearance.

Just hearing the screams coming from outside made him feel incredibly proud.

When Chen Yu came to Taiwan, he was practically there to wreak havoc.

Is he going to sweep all the prizes tonight?

In Jiang Wen's opinion, the films nominated for the Golden Horse Awards this year are not as prestigious as the Golden Rooster Awards from mainland China.

In addition, Jinma has no sense of social etiquette.

"Sure, Director Chen."

"His popularity is truly unmatched. I should have followed you earlier."

"Are you saying this to me?"

After hearing Jiang Wen's teasing, Chen Yu shook his head helplessly: "I didn't walk the red carpet with you!"

After all, Chen Yu was also a lead actor in "The Sun".

"No, no, no, how could I dare!"

Jiang Wen laughed heartily.

At this moment, with the final film crew of "Better Days" taking their seats, the 44th Golden Horse Film Awards ceremony officially began! (End of Chapter)
