"Okay, okay, okay—"

"Let's stop drinking here for today, so as not to delay tomorrow's important business."

Jiang Wen had his arm around Chen Yu's shoulder, and it was clear that he was indeed in high spirits.

Tomorrow will be the nominees' award ceremony for the Golden Rooster Awards, so there can be no mistakes.

"These two haven't seen each other in ages."

Zhou Yun followed behind, looking helplessly at Jiang Wen in front of him. After hearing what the person beside her said, Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh.

The group returned to the hotel they had booked.

This is the accommodation prepared by the Golden Rooster Awards organizers for everyone.

In the past two years, the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony has become increasingly larger in scale.

With Chen Yu's influence, many international directors and works are now coming to participate.

on the contrary.

The Golden Horse Awards have seen a steady decline in both popularity and recognition, to the point that they have long since faded into obscurity.

It's likely that once you leave Taiwan, no one will actively attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony anymore.

can only say.

This outcome is undoubtedly a case of reaping what you sow.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei returned to their hotel room, still somewhat tipsy from their few drinks.

In addition, after sitting on a plane for most of the day, I was naturally exhausted.

The two of them collapsed onto the bed.

Before long, he fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was completely dark.

Chen Yu sat up in bed.

When I looked over, Liu Yifei was still fast asleep.

Boom boom boom!
The knocking on the door startled Liu Yifei so much that she opened her eyes.

"husband?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu pulled the person beside him into his arms.

"It should be Sister Yongmei and the others."

Shortly after landing, Jiang Wen picked them up by car and took them directly to the restaurant. Presumably, Yongmei and the others had already seen the news about their landing in Xiamen.

"I'll go open the door."

Chen Yu got out of bed and casually turned on the bedside lamp.

The room lit up instantly.

When Chen Yu opened the door, he noticed Yongmei and Zhang Zifeng standing in the doorway.

"Brother Chen Yu."

The little girl's sweet voice came through the phone, and she had a smile on her face.

"Where is Sister Sisi?"

Yongmei and Chen Yu nodded. All the main creators of "Aftershock" had already arrived, and now only Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were missing.

"Yifei, we just woke up."

"Sister Yongmei, please come in and have a seat."

Yongmei led Zhang Zifeng into the room, where Liu Yifei had already made the bed.

"Sister Yongmei~"

"Long time no see."

Liu Yifei walked over and casually touched Zhang Zifeng's round little face.

"The entire crew has arrived. Everyone thought it would be a good time to get together since we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Upon hearing Yongmei's words, Chen Yu turned to look at Liu Yifei.

Seeing that his girlfriend had already finished getting ready, he nodded to Yongmei.

"Okay, let me pack up."

All things considered.

The cast and crew of "Aftershock" have indeed not met for more than three months. Since its release, "Aftershock" has been the subject of much controversy.

Fortunately, they are very capable.

Even its box office performance was quite good.

The group went to the restaurant again, but this time their companions had changed.

The crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" was replaced by the crew of "Aftershock".

As soon as I pushed open the door to the private room, countless fireworks were already falling in front of me.

"Brother Yu, congratulations!"

"Joker has achieved such high box office results that it has directly entered the charts."

Wang Jingchun held the confetti in her hand and looked at Chen Yu, who appeared before her, with a beaming smile.

He collaborated with Chen Yu on so many films.

Seeing that Chen Yu has achieved such good results, I am truly happy for him.

The entire room was filled with the creators of the Tangshan Earthquake project.

Their feelings for Chen Yu went far beyond mere superficial congratulations; they held him in high esteem.

"Come on! Let's raise a glass to Brother Yu!"

"Celebrating Joker's huge box office success!"

Everyone chimed in, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became cheerful.

Reuniting with them is undoubtedly a fortunate event for them.

***
April 15, 2010, 2 PM.

Today is the day before the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, and also the day to recognize the nominees who have advanced to the awards ceremony.

Relatively speaking, the processes are much the same.

It is very similar to the Oscar nominee recognition ceremony.

The most anticipated part of the entire process was the group photo of all the nominees.

Chen Yu, Liu Yifei, and the others had already changed into their formal attire.

The nominee recognition ceremony at the Golden Rooster Awards was not overly complicated; it was more like a large dinner party.

"How are you? Ready?"

Chen Yu looked at his girlfriend.

The moon-white evening gown made her look even more elegant.

"Everything is ready, I'll follow my husband's instructions."

Liu Yifei made a small gesture, making her look quite playful.

In this regard.

Chen Yu was somewhat charmed by his cuteness.

"OK."

"Then let's go and meet up with Sister Yongmei and the others."

The makeup and styling are done; now all that's left is to head to the Strait Grand Theatre.

We come here once a year.

Chen Yu was already very familiar with the process.

With the arrival of the crowd, the Strait Grand Theater was already packed with people.

Many works participated in the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony this year.

As for the most popular candidate, it is naturally Chen Yu's "Tangshan Earthquake".

Besides that, there's "If You Are the One".

Both "The Message" and "Painted Skin" have garnered significant attention.

As for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Although they came to attend the nominee award ceremony, they were just using this platform to release trailers.

"Brother Yu!"

A shout came from the crowd.

When Liu Yifei and the others looked over, they noticed that Liao Fan and the others were already at the banquet hall.

As soon as they spoke, everyone present turned to look at them.

In an instant.

Chen Yu undoubtedly became the focus of the entire event.

“Brother Yu, I noticed you were back in Xiamen when I saw the news yesterday.”

"I was thinking of going to your room to chat with you."

The crowd began to walk towards Chen Yu.

"Our Brother Yu is truly extraordinary now."

"The entire internet is reporting on the box office success of 'Joker,' which is a great source of pride for China."

Those present praised him enthusiastically, each offering their own comments.

Who doesn't know Chen Yu's power now? He's so powerful that he can make the entertainment industry tremble with just a wave of his hand.

Seeing everyone flattering Chen Yu.

Wang Zhonglei, who was not far away, was furious.

Why does this guy have so much support? He's just trying to get attention.

The more Wang Zhonglei thought about it, the more he clenched his fists.

Huayi hasn't even gone bankrupt yet, and these guys are already fawning over Chen Yu.

"Brother Yu, long time no see." "How have you been?"

what--

Wang Zhonglei frowned and looked over, staring at his older brother with disbelief.

What's going on?
Wang Zhongjun would not normally attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

But this time, she specially came to the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony with him, was it just for this scene?
In a short time.

Everyone turned to look at Wang Zhongjun.

Everyone naturally knows the current relationship between Hua Yi and Yu Xin.

Since being thoroughly outmatched by Yu Xin in many ways, Huayi's reputation is no longer what it once was.

According to online reports, Chen Yu and the Wang brothers, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, are now estranged and have never spoken to each other again.

Wang Zhongjun actually took the initiative to greet Chen Yu?

as predicted.

Faced with absolute power, everyone must bow down.

Wang Zhonglei stood behind him, his gaze fixed on the direction where his older brother and Chen Yu were, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Mr. Wang, it's been a long time."

The audience included not only industry professionals, but also media reporters from various sectors.

Even if they are secretly at odds, they must still maintain a friendly facade on the surface.

"I haven't had a chance to congratulate Brother Yu yet, but the success of 'Joker' is truly admirable."

Wang Zhonglei strolled over to Wang Zhongjun's side.

He intended to signal Wang Zhongjun to leave this hellish situation as soon as possible.

He didn't want his brother to swallow his pride and befriend this guy; there was absolutely no need for it.

"Thank you."

"I watched 'Detective Dee,' and the underwater 3D technology this time is really amazing."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Wang Zhongjun was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly smiled at Chen Yu.

"Brother Xiaoyu".

It wasn't until someone behind him greeted Chen Yu that he nodded and left.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Wang Zhonglei felt the fire in his chest had been completely ignited.

In front of the media, they took the initiative to curry favor with Chen Yu, which was a complete humiliation of Huayi's reputation.

Upon hearing Wang Zhonglei's question, Wang Zhongjun then looked over.

Everywhere the eye can see.

Many people had already gathered around Chen Yu.

This person is truly a prodigy.

He must have his own exceptional qualities to be appreciated by so many people.

There's no need to adopt a "I'm the only one who's sober when everyone else is drunk" attitude.

"Look at him now."

Wang Zhongjun paused for a moment, and then Wang Zhonglei looked in the direction he was looking.

Nearly half of the people in the room surrounded Chen Yu.

Their faces were all adorned with fake smiles.

Most of the comments were praising the achievements of "Joker".

In fact, even Wang Zhonglei was already extremely envious.

The combined box office revenue of "Joker" at home and abroad has already exceeded $15 billion.

It has now clearly reached a point where no one can rival it.

“There is no benefit in continuing to fight against him.”

"The Chinese entertainment industry has changed drastically. Do you want to end up being acquired as well?"

Upon hearing Wang Zhongjun's question, Wang Zhonglei fell silent.

He didn't continue speaking.

In fact.

As a leading enterprise in China's entertainment industry, he naturally understands the rules involved after so many years.

What he found hard to accept was that Chen Yu, a mere young man, had risen to his current position in just eight years, even single-handedly bringing together major Hollywood companies like Disney and Warner Bros.

Ultimately, it's just a matter of being unwilling to accept defeat.

But after hearing his older brother's words, he finally understood.

The rules of the entertainment industry are no longer in their hands. If they still want to survive, they must find another way.

Thinking this way.

Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

He never imagined that after so many years in the entertainment industry, his Huayi Brothers would be defeated by a newcomer.

As for now.

News of Huayi Brothers' chairman taking the initiative to seek peace with Chen Yu had already spread far and wide.

With the added amplification by media reporters, this matter became news that garnered widespread attention.

【…】

In a short time.

The entire internet is paying attention to this news.

"The older generation, who have stood straight all their lives, have finally bent over."

"I think the Huayi Brothers are flexible and adaptable."

"It should have been done a long time ago. Look at how much our Brother Yu has been dedicated to bringing Chinese-language films to the world."

"Our Brother Yu has a better vision."

Netizens were discussing it animatedly.

I can say that I have a lot of curiosity about what happened today.

Liu Yifei took Chen Yu's arm and entered the inner area.

His expression carried a hint of melancholy.

Why that expression?

Seeing her boyfriend's question, Liu Yifei shook her head helplessly.

"I just find it a bit unbelievable."

The problems between Hua Yi and Yu Xin have been brewing for quite some time.

Wang Zhonglei, in particular, has been openly and secretly causing trouble for Yu Xin.

When the previous movies were released, although they didn't openly use underhanded tactics, they always did some shady things.

Especially during the period of "Tangshan Earthquake", Huayi Brothers repeatedly took the lead in promoting the idea that Chen Yu was "profiteering from the national disaster".

These events are still vivid in my mind.

Even if Liu Yifei and the others don't dwell on it, what has happened cannot be changed.

You'll get used to it.

"That's how the entertainment industry is; there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.

A hint of unease appeared on his face.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for many years, she is already used to these kinds of things.

As for now.

She had only one thought: to fulfill her promise to Chen Yu.

"Distinguished guests, fellow colleagues from China Film Group."

Good evening, everyone!

As the voice came from the stage, everyone's eyes turned to the stage.

Kang Jianming, the resident vice chairman of the China Film Association, appeared on the stage.

His hair was already gray, but he still looked radiant.

"It is a great pleasure to gather here with everyone to witness the nomination ceremony for the 28th China Golden Rooster Awards."

"I think everyone has a question."

Why hold a special recognition ceremony for the nominees?

All eyes in the audience fell on Kang Jianming, their expressions serious.

In fact.

Everyone can understand the significance of the Golden Rooster Awards doing this.

Since the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was held in Xiamen, it has shown the utmost respect to the nominees and winners in both its procedures and ceremonies.

"Today, I will tell you all."

"The reason for holding the nominee recognition ceremony is simply to give recognition to every participating work and filmmaker at the Golden Rooster Awards."

Chen Yu held a wine glass in his hand and stood below the stage with Liu Yifei.

The golden rooster crows at dawn.

Chinese films will reach an even bigger stage! (End of Chapter)
