Full-time actor

"haven't seen you for a long time--"

Nolan and Bell had just stepped out of the airport terminal when they saw Chen Yu.

Even when fully armed, this young Grand Slam Best Actor is extremely eye-catching.

"Haha, this time I'll stay in the capital for a few more days."

"I'll show you around."

That's right.

Nolan and Bell arrived in the capital.

This time, however, it was an experience unlike anything I'd ever had before.

That's right.

They were invited to attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

Perhaps because it was the first time the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was held, this year's ceremony adopted a voting system.

The most popular overseas directors and leading actors were all selected through online voting.

Fairness and impartiality are absolutely guaranteed.

As for Nolan, he was one of the candidates with the highest number of votes.

Bale was essentially accompanying them this time, but their film "The Dark Knight" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.

Even if it's just for Chen Yu, they definitely have to make this trip.

Several people got in the car.

To be precise, most people came this time specifically to see Chen Yu.

Whether it's Anne Hathaway, or the crews of "The Dark Knight" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel," they were all basically invited by Chen Yu to come to China.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

Who wouldn't want to get along with Chen Yu these days?

Having just acquired a stake in Disney, it can be said to be a hot commodity right now.

"Hey, darling."

"Please forgive my bluntness, but I'm genuinely curious about how you managed to get that old stubborn Robert Iger to agree."

The day the news broke.

The entire US internet is probably in a state of collapse.

It's important to understand that Disney places great importance on internal control and never allows others to interfere.

Chen Yu's appearance undoubtedly broke this principle.

"Perhaps we complement each other."

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter.

The two did not press the matter further. If Chen Yu wanted to answer, he naturally wouldn't have asked anyone a second time.

The car came to a smooth stop at the 1949 Club.

This restaurant emphasizes privacy; regardless of who you are, you need to make a reservation in advance.

You can't order food yourself yet.

We eat whatever the restaurant serves.

However, it is precisely for this reason that people in the industry have become regulars here.

Guided by the greeter, Chen Yu and his group arrived at the innermost private room.

The moment I pushed the door open and went in.

Liu Yifei and Anne Hathaway had already looked up, and the entire crew of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" had also arrived.

In recent days, countless people have come to see Chen Yu.

These are the things for today.

However, this is only a small part, after all, Chen Yu has worked with quite a few overseas actors over the years.

"OMG!"

"Nolan, it's really nice to see you here."

Anne Hathaway was the first to stand up and then greeted Nolan.

As for the others present, even if they hadn't collaborated, they were all very good friends in private.

Now that we're all together, there's absolutely no restraint.

With less than a week to go before the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, I can take a stroll around Beijing and then make my way to Xiamen.

"Cheers to our friendship!"

Nolan's emotions were undoubtedly ignited.

Compared to the cutthroat world of entertainment, having a few close friends over drinks and chatting is a much better option.

Everyone remained silent about Chen Yu's acquisition of Disney.

Although they were both somewhat curious.

However, this involves some industry issues, and if they get too involved, it might not be good for anyone.

The atmosphere throughout the dinner was quite harmonious and lively.

Everyone is quite familiar with them.

It's naturally easier to start a conversation.

After a satisfying meal, everyone returned to their lodgings.

Over the next few days, Chen Yu naturally fulfilled his duties as host.

……

On October 14, 2009, the 27th China Golden Rooster Film Festival officially opened.

Chen Yu, Liu Yifei, and others had arrived in Xiamen two days earlier.

This time.

Their lineup can be described as quite strong.

In addition to all the main creators of "The Grand Budapest Hotel", there are also many Hollywood stars.

Arriving here reminded everyone of last year's final showdown with the Golden Horse Awards, which ended in a complete defeat for the Golden Horse.

This time.

The Golden Rooster Awards were celebrated with great fanfare.

This is not only the first time that foreign language films have been added, but also the first year that the Golden Rooster Awards have been held in Xiamen.

I've heard that it has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in terms of scale, specifications, and innovation, and has added a lot of new content.

This year, the film festival will showcase 28 films from 29 countries.

Simultaneously, three major forums were held: the China Film Summit Forum, the Directors Forum, and the New Era China Film Investment and Development Forum.

Even this trophy is a completely new design.

It can be said.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was full of surprises.

As soon as we went downstairs, the designated brand of cars, arranged by the organizers, appeared in front of us.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had already finished their makeup and styling.

now.

A new generation Ford Transit van appeared in front of them.

Everyone got into their respective cars and headed towards the Minnan Grand Theatre.

With the Golden Rooster Awards now based in Xiamen, its important award ceremonies will no longer be held in a single theater.

The film festival's opening ceremony was held at the Minnan Grand Theatre.

The awards ceremony and film festival closing ceremony were held at the Strait Grand Theatre.

As Chen Yu thought this, his gaze fell on the view outside the window.

Although the Golden Rooster Awards have become less prestigious in later years, their value cannot be denied.

after all.

The golden rooster also faces the predicament of having no rice to cook even when one is skilled at cooking.

In the future, there will be fewer and fewer high-quality works that resonate with the public, whether in terms of narrative or formula.

especially.

Over-reliance on IP, remakes, and popular celebrities.

The final result can be imagined.

Once the audience gets bored, they will lose all interest in these works.

Over time, the film market will only become more and more closed off.

Just then, the car came to an abrupt stop.

It has now come to a steady stop in the parking lot of the Minnan Grand Theatre.

The 120-meter-long red carpet stretched to the roadside, and this time it was given a different name.

Golden Rooster Dream Avenue.

The entire piece is in shades of red and gold, making it extremely dazzling.

Looking around, a golden rooster sculpture stands in the very center.

Feathers were placed on both sides of the red carpet, symbolizing the filmmakers' appreciation for art.

Overall, it is indeed magnificent and grand.

"OMG!"

"It was even more shocking than I imagined."

Nolan looked in the direction in front of him.

It's worth noting that the Oscars, as the most influential and commercially valuable film festival in the world, probably can't compete with the Golden Rooster Awards in terms of the sheer extravagance of the festival itself.

Perhaps it's because of their stereotypes.

Most people think of the Golden Rooster Awards as just a small, self-imposed award in China.

As for now.

This clearly gave everyone a new perspective. "It seems that this year's Golden Rooster Awards are quite impressive in terms of both scale and lineup."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer scale of this event is enough to earn a thumbs up.

Just thinking about it.

Screams were already ringing in my ears.

When everyone looked over, they noticed that Zhou Xun had stepped onto the red carpet.

The crew of "The Equation of Love and Death" is now in the public eye.

In comparison, Zhou Xun has now gained international recognition, and even graced the cover of the renowned French news weekly Le Point this year.

so.

Her popularity is quite recognized among foreigners.

This year's red carpet ceremony did not have a host.

Basically, you just need to walk the red carpet in the pre-arranged order.

Chen Yu once again made a grand finale appearance, and it's worth noting that there's probably no one in mainland China who can surpass Chen Yu's popularity right now.

Under the spotlight.

All the main creators of "Assembly" have walked the red carpet.

Together with "Mei Lanfang" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel", it forms a three-way balance.

present.

The popularity of these three works can be described as extremely high.

As for "The Grand Budapest Hotel," its popularity was clearly due to Chen Yu.

"get ready."

"It's our turn to go on stage."

The Golden Rooster Awards organizers arranged for Nolan and his team to walk the red carpet with Chen Yu.

This will undoubtedly cause a great sensation.

The welcoming party had arrived in front of Chen Yu's car, and as the car door was opened, Chen Yu and the others got out of the car one after another.

boom--

In an instant.

Screams erupted from all directions in an instant.

This was absolutely a scene they had never seen before.

Chen Yu, Liu Yifei, Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, Tilda Swinton, and Mr. Gustave of the Grand Budapest Hotel.

At this moment.

The group of people had already appeared before them.

This scene was enough to make everyone scream.

"Chen Yu!"

"Nolan, Bell!"

The constant screams brought the "Assembly" film crew, who had been walking ahead, to a halt.

His gaze fell on the location of the person behind him.

Zhang Hanyu froze on the spot. This time, he truly felt the real influence of this young Grand Slam Best Actor.

As for Wang Zhonglei...

Then, looking at the person behind him, a hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes.

In particular, one notices the people following him.

obviously.

Chen Yu went to great lengths to boost the morale of the Golden Rooster this time.

bluff.

Wang Zhonglei glanced at the person in front of him before turning around and walking inside.

"Chen Yu—"

"Brother Yu!!!"

At this moment.

Nolan has witnessed Chen Yu's strength both at home and abroad. He is no longer just famous. Chen Yu's existence is like a thrilling story.

The group walked towards the location ahead.

The cheers and calls from both sides of the red carpet have grown increasingly louder.

"Chen Yu, look this way."

The media reporters started snapping photos like crazy, especially since Chen Yu had brought his foreign friends with him this time.

Who else could have such influence besides him?

"Chen Yu, what message do you hope to send by organizing international friends to attend the Golden Rooster Awards this time?"

"Director Nolan, how was your first time walking the red carpet at the Golden Rooster Awards?"

"Mr. Ralph Fiennes, are you confident of winning the Most Popular Actor Overseas award this time?"

Media reporters rushed forward.

This was absolutely a unique moment; when has such a large number of international artists ever appeared on the Golden Rooster Awards red carpet?

Moreover, they are all award-winning actors and actresses.

Nolan smiled at the camera.

"Speaking of my first time walking the red carpet at the Golden Rooster Awards, it was a truly magical experience."

"Being able to work alongside so many outstanding filmmakers is a precious celebration for me."

This answer can be described as very tactful.

Nolan didn't elaborate on other issues, relying solely on his intuition.

The two sides of the red carpet at this moment.

They had already become ruthless and forgotten all feelings.

Media reporters have already begun writing press releases.

Actually.

Everyone shared the same idea: this was the first time the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony had included an overseas award.

They had thought no one would come, but Chen Yu's ability to attract people surprised them.

Most of the people present had worked with Chen Yu before.

If they didn't have a very close relationship, why would they come to participate?
For a while.

News is flying everywhere online.

【…】

It caused a sensation across the internet.

At this moment, those watching the live stream wished they could rush to the scene directly.

Major international stars gathered here.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a magical scene.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei stood in the middle of the red carpet, unable to refuse the enthusiasm of the media reporters.

Even Nolan had to give it a thumbs up.

I finally have a real understanding of Chen Yu's soaring popularity.

This Chinese superstar is more popular in China than any Hollywood star is in North America.

Even Leonardo DiCaprio can't compare.

After a lengthy red carpet ceremony, the group was finally allowed to leave by the media.

They then continued walking forward.

Next came the autograph session.

Nolan had already arrived beside Chen Yu, his expression showing some shock.

"Unbelievable".

"This is probably the longest I've ever walked a red carpet."

Nolan shrugged.

Viewers naturally noticed this scene, and the entire live stream chat erupted into a heated discussion.

"This is what it means to promote the culture of our great China."

"Brother Yu is awesome!"

"My God, this is Nolan!"

"It feels like the pink fairy tale of 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' has been brought to life right before my eyes."

"It all comes down to my brother Yu's connections!"

Netizens are all praising Chen Yu.

First, they secured Disney's involvement, and now they've brought international stars to the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

There are such artists in China's entertainment industry.

There's no need to worry about future development.

Chen Yu led everyone into the theater, where the seating arrangement was just as perfect as before.

Several overseas filmmakers were arranged to sit beside Chen Yu.

Everyone walked to their respective positions.

Upon seeing Chen Yu approach, Wang Zhonglei's expression changed slightly once again—(End of Chapter)
