Full-time actor

The movie is nearing its end.

The whole family was watching Chen Yu and Liu Yifei intently on the big screen.

Liu Xiaoli, in particular, had tears streaming down her face when she saw the wedding scene of the two in the video.

Seeing her daughter in a wedding dress for the first time, even though it was just in a movie, Liu Yifei's joy was palpable.

"Our Sisi is so beautiful!"

Faced with Shen Xiaoqin's praise, Liu Yifei blushed.

Although she often heard such words, she still felt a little embarrassed in front of so many elders.

Liu Yifei's gaze fell on her mother's profile.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the tears streaming down Liu Xiaoli's face.

She could roughly guess her mother's feelings at that moment, and said nothing, but simply held Liu Xiaoli's hand tightly.

As for the latter, a warm palm clasped Liu Yifei's hand.

He then patted her twice as a gesture of comfort.

Chen Yu naturally noticed the interaction between the mother and daughter, and casually took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yifei.

The movie ends.

Compared to the joyful atmosphere when they arrived, the family members present were somewhat somber.

This film, in terms of both color and plot, clearly has a dark humor feel to it, but this feeling isn't very strong.

Especially in every little detail.

They thought Agatha and Zero would end up happily together, but the narration gave them a tragic ending.

Chen Peidong sighed.

Although some plot points are indeed hard to fathom, it's not as bad as some people online say.

That's right.

During this time, my family has also been paying close attention to the release of Chen Yu's new film.

After noticing the online reviews, everyone tried their best not to mention it.

"Son, this movie is so well made!"

Chen Peidong hesitated for a moment before finally managing to utter a sentence.

For a while.

Everyone present couldn't help but laugh, and even the distant relatives gave Chen Yu a thumbs up.

There are indeed parts they don't understand.

But as Chen Peidong said, this movie is indeed of a very high standard.

Chen Yu was naturally happy with his family's encouragement.

However, he wasn't easily offended; the box office performance of a film doesn't measure its worth.

The movie ended.

The family members gradually went outside.

Chen Yu also booked a restaurant, so they naturally planned to have dinner outside.

Just as everyone was about to step out of the theater, a scream suddenly rang in their ears.

In the otherwise somewhat gloomy environment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared.

"Chen Yu! It really is Chen Yu!"

what--

No one had ever seen such a scene before, and a large number of media reporters flocked to the scene.

"Dad, take Mom and the others away first."

After receiving the instructions, Chen Peidong quickly directed everyone to get into their respective vehicles.

Fortunately, their car wasn't far away.

Upon noticing the media reporters approaching, they all drove away.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were quite helpless.

As for these media reporters, they were mainly influenced by the recent front-page headlines.

They naturally wanted to get firsthand information about "Let the Bullets Fly," but Jiang Wen never showed up, so even in the later stages, they had no way to get information.

It was not easy.

Having staked out Chen Yu for so long, they certainly wouldn't let him go so easily now.

Chen Yu looked at the reporters who were swarming towards him.

Their expressions weren't exactly pleasant, but they knew it was their duty.

"Brother Yu, you are already a Grand Slam Best Actor in Chinese-language films, why did you choose to play a supporting role in 'Let the Bullets Fly'?"

"Did you choose to play a supporting role because of the script for 'Let the Bullets Fly' or because of the main character?"

"Can you tell us who the main character is?"

For a while.

The crowd completely cornered Chen Yu at the cinema entrance.

However, people still respected Chen Yu relatively much, and there was no excessive chaos.

Although everyone wanted to ask questions despite the crowd, they all tried to keep their distance as much as possible.

at this point.

This made Chen Yu's displeasure just now disappear.

"In my opinion, there are no minor characters; every character in Director Jiang's works possesses their own personal charm."

"I can learn a lot from working with Director Jiang."

"As for other questions, I have no comment."

Chen Yu nodded, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

As for the media reporters, they obviously didn't want to let the person in front of them off so easily, but given Chen Yu's attitude at the moment, they couldn't continue to ask questions.

Chen Yu pulled Liu Yifei into the car.

They sped away in full view of everyone.

For a moment, the media reporters were somewhat disappointed, but they also understood that it was already quite an achievement that Chen Yu had just responded to them.

even so.

Even from just a few words, people were still able to guess some of the details.

The script for "Let the Bullets Fly" must be exceptionally good, otherwise Chen Yu wouldn't have been willing to play a supporting role.

Inside the speeding car.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her phone every now and then.

His expression carried a hint of worry, wondering if his daughter and Chen Yu had escaped the media reporters' pursuit.

buzzing-

As the phone rang, Liu Xiaoli answered it without hesitation.

Hearing the voice coming from the other end of the microphone, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"How did it go? Did you get on the bus?"

After explaining the general situation to Liu Xiaoli, she finally felt relieved.

The two groups then met at the restaurant that Chen Yu had booked.

As for the internet right now.

Because of the little incident just now, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Let the Bullets Fly" have once again topped the front page of major portal websites.

[Chen Yu is suspected of taking his family to see "The Grand Budapest Hotel"!]

[Sailing for a good script! Grand Slam Best Actor Chen Yu and Jiang Wen become friends through acting!]

[Chen Yu: A good script is the primary criterion; lead and supporting roles are irrelevant!]

【…】

The moment Liu Yifei handed the phone to Chen Yu, the latter was somewhat puzzled.

Did he say these words?

To be fair, these media reporters really do have incredibly wild imaginations.

They can even write all sorts of press releases based on one person's response.

Actually.

With their abilities, they can succeed at anything.

Chen Yu placed the peeled crab meat in front of Liu Yifei, then shook his head helplessly.

He was already used to these kinds of comments.

Fortunately, the media reporters were very well-mannered and did not pursue the matter relentlessly.

As for Jiang Wen, she naturally noticed this news online.

As expected, choosing Chen Yu was definitely the wisest choice, not to mention his wealth and ability to control all the funding.

His popularity and influence alone are more impressive than those of others.

So much so.

Everyone's attention is now focused on Chen Yu.

obviously.

He has already done the first step correctly.

Jiang Wen is incredibly beautiful now, and "Let the Bullets Fly" has been a resounding success.

What followed was a steady rise in rank.

Netizens on the internet naturally noticed this issue and joined the discussion.

After all, although his two previous films were box office failures, Chen Yu's talent remains. Even though everyone says he lacks star power, no one criticizes his acting skills.

This time.

The collaboration between Chen Yu and Jiang Wen has undoubtedly ignited the expectations of fans of both artists.

"That's what a real actor is! He only looks at the role and the script."

"Brother Yu has such good taste."

“Jiang Wen’s films need to be studied in depth, and our Yu Ge is the most suitable actor for them.”

"But those promotional photos are too rough, they look like bandits."

"I can't even imagine how amazing the results 'Let the Bullets Fly' will be."

Netizens discussed the film extensively, which only increased everyone's anticipation for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei finished their meal and drinks.

At this moment, they were completely separated from the main group and prepared to walk back to their lodgings.

For so many years.

The two rarely have such leisure time as they do now, to walk along the roadside, feel the breeze, and relax.

It's actually quite a pleasant thing.

Jingle Bell--

However, this pleasant moment was soon interrupted.

"Teacher Chang?"

Since the two held a screening of "Better Days", they have been going to various award ceremonies and film sets.

There is very little time left to contact the school's teachers and principal.

Aside from the congratulatory text messages from teachers each time I won an award, there was basically no other communication.

This phone call must mean there's something wrong.

After I pressed the answer button, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Teacher Chang, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other."

"Hehe, Chen Yu, what have you been busy with lately?"

Faced with the teacher's question, Chen Yu naturally answered truthfully.

She is naturally not as busy as her students, but sometimes she really is overwhelmed.

Where is Yifei?

"It feels like it's been so long since I've seen you all."

Upon hearing Chang Li's question, Liu Yifei quickly responded.

"Teacher Chang, I'm with Chen Yu."

"Have you missed me?"

The three exchanged a few pleasantries over the phone, and Chang Li explained her purpose for coming.

It's actually not a big deal.

In recent years, teachers at the Central Academy of Drama have taken the initiative to contact outstanding students who have achieved remarkable success in the industry and invite them back to the school to give lectures or teach courses.

As for Chen Yu...

Naturally, it is the top choice among many students.

After hearing Chang Li's words, Chen Yu naturally did not refuse.

He was already familiar with this kind of thing; it was simply a matter of inviting some outstanding students to give lectures in the Art Lecture Series.

It mainly talks about some knowledge about movies.

"correct--"

Which films did you submit for review for this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony?

Chen Yu truthfully informed him that, after all, there was only one film at present, "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

"The judging panel is currently in Suzhou, and they should be conducting the final review!"

Chang Li recounted the situation, and in fact, this inquiry was not a chance occurrence.

The Golden Rooster Awards have always maintained contact with the Central Academy of Drama, so they naturally wanted her to come and sound out the situation.

"Then I wish my two students continued success in the future."

At the last Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, Chen Yu was in the limelight, dominating the trending topics for several days.

This time.

Although The Grand Budapest Hotel did not achieve particularly outstanding results.

However, Chang Li and her group had an organized movie screening.

Chang Li couldn't help but give her students a thumbs up for this film.

How can one word describe it?
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

"Hehe, great lecturer."

"Looking forward to seeing you in person when the new school year starts!"

It has to be said that Liu Yifei looks really irritating.

Chen Yu reached out and tickled Liu Yifei's waist, causing her to beg for mercy repeatedly.

Soon.

The two finally arrived home.

Shen Xiaoqin and Liu Xiaoli were playing mahjong, a leisurely pastime for them.

As for Chen Yu, his thoughts gradually drifted away.

The 2009 Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was arguably the most competitive year yet.

Whether "The Grand Budapest Hotel" will win an award is still uncertain.

after all--

This year's competitors are "Assembly", "Mei Lanfang", "Li Chun" and "College Entrance Examination 1977".

If you look at these names, they might not seem particularly outstanding.

However, the directors behind them are Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Gu Changwei.

As for "Assembly" and "Mei Lanfang", they were definitely the two heroes who dominated the world in the past.

The two widely recognized favorites to win the championship.

In addition, the competition for Best Actor and Best Actress is equally fierce.

Cheng Long, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Jiang Wenli.

Any one of them, if you pick them at random, is a legend in the film industry.

so.

If "The Grand Budapest Hotel" wants to win an award, it will have to overcome many obstacles.

It's not just talk.

The previous life.

Both Best Feature Film and Best Actress were tied for second place.

I wonder how this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony will turn out, given how clearly the previous one involved dividing up the spoils.

He dared not offend anyone, and in the end, he was severely criticized by netizens and fans.

This year, the Golden Rooster Awards added categories for Best Foreign Language Film, Most Popular Overseas Director, and Best Actor and Actress. If the Golden Rooster Awards pulls another stunt like this, it will definitely lower overseas expectations.

Chen Yu thought about it.

He is quite satisfied with the Golden Rooster Awards over the past two years.

Furthermore, the series of events last year, coupled with the fact that the Golden Rooster Awards specifically supported him, were enough to change Chen Yu's opinion of him.

As for the final awards?

That depends on their own choice.

but.

Chen Yu did have his own ideas after all.

Since this is the first time a foreign language award has been added, the international community is probably not very accepting of this news. Perhaps he could invite some friends and directors to participate.

This can be seen as a disguised form of publicity for the Golden Rooster Awards.

That's a good way to think about it!

"Here——"

Chen Yu looked up and noticed that Liu Yifei had handed him the ice cream.

This moment seemed to freeze in time.

All the people he loved were by his side; Liu Yifei's mother was playing mahjong with her parents.

As for Liu Yifei...

His lover was sitting right in front of him.

Everything in the room felt incredibly real, which made him sigh with satisfaction.

In the immediate aftermath of his rebirth, he constantly wondered if he was dreaming.

After he wakes up from the dream, his parents and lover will leave him again.

Until now.

This state finally felt real.

"What are you thinking about? Quickly help me see which of these photos looks better?"

Liu Yifei handed the phone to Chen Yu, her thoughts returning to their own—

The photograph in front of me gradually became three-dimensional. (End of Chapter)
