Full-time actor

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Applause erupted.

Kang Jianming's words moved everyone present, showing that Chinese cinema, after several years, is clearly developing in a better direction.

Chen Yu looked away.

His gaze fell on where Liu Yifei was.

So far, he has been working towards his goal.

One day, Chinese-language films will amaze the world.

"Chen Yu, we've finally met."

A voice came from behind him. Chen Yu turned his head and saw that Kang Jianming had come down from the stage at some point and was now looking at him with a proud expression.

"Chairman Kang."

Chen Yu nodded, showing no surprise at Kang Jianming's sudden appearance.

As one of the organizers of the Golden Rooster Awards, Kang Jianming certainly needs to communicate well with each guest.

"I went to see 'Joker' in the theater."

The conversation turned.

This prompted Chen Yu and Liu Yifei to look up at Kang Jianming.

The former raised an eyebrow, feeling rather embarrassed for the person in front of him.

After all, at over 50 years old, it's inappropriate for someone to go to the cinema to watch a film that doesn't quite suit their taste.

Chen Yu smiled but didn't reply.

"Putting aside box office revenue, the fact that so many people are willing to go to the cinema is a contribution to Chinese-language films."

Liu Yifei stood beside him.

The whole scene looked exactly like a leader giving a speech.

Chen Yu didn't react much, but Liu Yifei had a real headache.

"Chairman Kang, you flatter me too much."

"I was just doing my job."

Chen Yu wore a polite smile, yet remained humble in his words.

Noticing this, Kang Jianming nodded.

Those who can remain humble and composed like Chen Yu are truly pillars of the nation.

to be frank.

Ultimately, Chen Yu himself was of better character.

If it were anyone else who had reached this position, they would probably have been extremely arrogant by now.

"I came to see you today mainly because there's something I want to discuss with you."

as predicted.

Chen Yu had long anticipated that Kang Jianming's initiative to come looking for him must mean something.

only.

He didn't have any particular thoughts on this.

After all, they hadn't interacted for a long time, so Chen Yu couldn't figure out what they wanted from their sudden visit.

That's right.

"On behalf of the China Film Association, I invite you to join the council."

Ok?
After hearing Kang Jianming's words, Liu Yifei couldn't help but look up.

This matter had already gained some attention two years ago.

Especially when Jin Ji was strongly supporting Chen Yu, he was invited as well.

"This invitation was made after careful consideration by the council."

"I invited you to join, not so that you could just be a figurehead, but so that you could participate in building the Golden Rooster Awards' judging panel."

The intention behind this statement is quite clear.

This is simply telling Chen Yu that they have a say in all the important decisions regarding the Golden Rooster Awards going forward.

In fact.

Joining the council of the China Film Association is no small matter; it proves that Chen Yu will go from being a candidate to a rule-maker.

Liu Yifei remained silent.

She has always respected Chen Yu's choices and will certainly not interfere in any way.

Upon hearing Kang Jianming's words, Chen Yu's expression softened for a moment.

The year before last.

Teacher Chang Li brought up this matter with him on her own initiative.

He had considered it, but at the time he was busy with the pre-production of "Joker" and "Mulan", so he naturally couldn't take it both ways.

Perhaps noticing Chen Yu's hesitation, Kang Jianming looked over.

"You don't need to rush to answer me."

"This is no small matter for any of us, and we definitely need to think it over carefully."

Kang Jianming smiled.

He had a very high opinion of the young man in front of him.

In recent years, it has brought about tremendous changes to Chinese-language films.

Joining the council would certainly drive faster development.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kang Jianming nodded.

"No matter what the final choice is, the Golden Rooster Awards will always support you."

Putting aside everything else, his bold and ambitious words at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony alone were enough to ensure Chen Yu's stability in this life.

Wang Zhonglei stood not far away.

He was gripping the wine glass tightly in his hand. Just today, he felt the importance that the entire Golden Rooster Awards placed on Chen Yu.

“I heard it just now.”

"Chairman Kang's invitation to Chen Yu to participate in the council meeting is truly a great honor."

Wang Zhonglei naturally heard the voices coming from the people around him.

For a moment, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Being invited to join the council is indeed the highest honor bestowed by the Golden Rooster Award.

This undoubtedly proves and acknowledges Chen Yu's influence in the industry.

Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but glance at his older brother.

There was a noticeable increase in frustration in his eyes and brows.

Seeing that Wang Zhongjun showed no change in emotion, Wang Zhonglei became even angrier.

His gaze instantly darkened, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Are the requirements for joining the association so low now? Anyone can get in?"

"Xiao Lei".

Wang Zhongjun interrupted Wang Zhonglei.

This place is a mixed bag, and many media outlets are already digging deep for news. If people hear what Wang Zhonglei said, it could cause them a lot of trouble tomorrow.

Be careful with your words and actions.

Don't be tempted by a quick remark.

After being scolded by his older brother, Wang Zhonglei finally fell silent.

He naturally knew his brother's purpose in attending the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

It was nothing more than reconnecting with Chen Yu, but he scoffed at the idea.

He glanced sideways at the camera not far away.

Wang Zhonglei ultimately suppressed his displeasure and tried to put on a smile.

Just as his brother said, there are reporters everywhere here, and if they notice anything amiss, it will probably cause a lot of trouble.

Seeing Kang Jianming walk away, Liu Yifei then looked at her boyfriend.

"Honey, what do you think?"

Liu Yifei asked instinctively.

Putting everything else aside, being invited to the council of the China Film Association is indeed a great honor in the industry.

so far.

The council of the China Film Association is basically composed of highly respected figures such as Zhang Yimou, Li Xuejian, or Xi Meijuan.

Chen Yu's invitation this time also made everyone feel his influence on the Chinese film industry.

"I can consider it."

"However, it can only be done after everything is settled."

That's right.

Chen Yu's main tasks now are "Joker" and "Mulan," so he naturally has no time to attend to anything else.

Good evening, fellow filmmakers!

"Next, it will be our moment to witness honors, which is also the final step in the Golden Rooster Awards nomination ceremony."

A sound came from beside my ear.

When I looked over, Jingwei was already on the stage.

As a regular host of the Golden Rooster Awards, Jingwei's voice is loud and imposing.

"Now."

"We will read out the names of the nominees one by one. Please come up on stage to receive your certificate of honor." As soon as Jingwei said this, the atmosphere in the room clearly reached its peak.

This is undoubtedly the most influential moment of the day.

As Kang Jianming said, regardless of whether they ultimately win or not, today is a feast for the nominees.

Liu Yifei sat next to Chen Yu.

People come and go around me, most of them with smiles on their faces.

The order of the awards presentations at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was the same as the order of the awards themselves, and everyone waited quietly for this process.

"Let us congratulate the five directors, Chen Yu, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Jia, Chen Guofu, and Chen Desen, on being nominated for the Best Director Award."

As soon as Jingwei spoke, Chen Yu and the others stood up from their seats and walked towards the stage.

The media reporters in the audience were filled with excitement when they noticed this.

Putting other things aside for now.

The previous incident between Feng Xiaogang and Chen Yu alone has already drawn criticism.

Now that both of them have been nominated for Best Director, it's clearly a battle without bloodshed.

Feng Xiaogang had already gotten up from his seat and walked towards the front, clearly not stopping at all as he passed Chen Yu.

It would be a lie to say that he had no fear of Chen Yu.

only.

He was defeated by Chen Yu several times in a row.

Let alone Huayi Brothers, even Feng Xiaogang himself couldn't swallow this insult.

Furthermore,

When Chen Yu first entered the entertainment industry, he had to treat him with utmost respect.

Eight years!
In just eight years, a qualitative leap has already occurred.

Now the entire industry probably has to bow and scrape to him.

Just thinking about this made Feng Xiaogang scoff.

At this moment, everyone had arrived on the stage.

After the certificates are awarded, a group photo will be taken.

This process is also inspired by the Oscars, simply to symbolize that the contestants should keep up their efforts.

Feng Xiaogang gestured for Wang Jia to stand between him and Chen Yu.

Normally speaking.

The positions of the people are all prescribed.

Feng Xiaogang's move clearly disrupted everyone's order.

In general.

This move is really quite disrespectful.

As for the media reporters in the audience, they had clearly noticed the tense atmosphere on stage.

If it were said at the time that Feng Xiaogang and Chen Yu were at odds, it might have raised some suspicions, since the two had worked together before and there must have been some semblance of friendship between them.

Who would have thought?

Seeing this today, it's truly quite perplexing.

Chen Yu showed no change in emotion. Ever since Feng Xiaogang lost to Chen Yu last time, the rumors about the two of them on the internet have intensified.

The fact that there was no need to maintain a false facade actually pleased Chen Yu.

Media reporters have found a starting point.

Especially in this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, "Aftershock" is undoubtedly a favorite.

It seems that Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One" will have to admit defeat again.

After the photographer finished taking the photos, Chen Yu walked down to the audience with the certificate in his hand.

As an award ceremony recognizing nominees for the Golden Rooster Awards, this is only the second year it has been held.

On the contrary, it felt quite novel.

Liu Yifei accepted the certificate from Chen Yu.

His eyes were full of smiles.

Congratulations to my husband on his latest honor!

Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile.

In comparison, he no longer had much desire for the Golden Rooster Award.

after all.

Once people reach their peak, they will only want to strive for even greater missions.

"Brother Yu, congratulations!"

"This time, you definitely deserve the Best Director award."

Wang Jingchun looked at Chen Yu, his eyes filled with admiration for the man before him.

Chen Yu's life was truly legendary.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he won a Grand Slam at such a young age is something that others can only dream of.

Tomorrow will be the official opening of the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

The continued voices from the stage undoubtedly ignited everyone's enthusiasm.

***
Saturday, September 2010, 10.

The annual Golden Rooster Awards ceremony has finally begun.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had their makeup and styling done well in advance, and yesterday's nominee commendation ceremony sparked debate among netizens.

Especially Feng Xiaogang's actions on stage at the time.

This immediately sparked a heated discussion among netizens.

"To be honest, Feng Xiaogang's behavior is rather unethical!"

"This is pure jealousy. They are jealous that Chen Yu is currently more popular and has a higher international status than him."

Do you even understand what it means for the younger generation to surpass the older generation?

"You can do whatever you want in private, but this is on stage! You have no manners at all."

In a short time.

The incident involving Feng Xiaogang yesterday has spread across the entire internet.

Everyone naturally knows the real reason he did this: he simply couldn't accept Chen Yu stepping on his head.

Unfortunately.

This is not the reason why he would embarrass others in public.

"How do I look? Do I look good in this outfit?"

Liu Yifei's long hair was loose, and she exuded an ethereal aura.

Especially this dress today, which makes her look radiant and beautiful.

"Pretty!"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.

No wonder she remains a topic of discussion even after decades in the industry. Even though Liu Yifei is no longer young, she is still a goddess in everyone's hearts.

"Let's go then."

Today is undoubtedly a big day for the Tangshan earthquake.

With box office success and widespread recognition already achieved, now is the time to bestow honors upon this work.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei left the room.

As for Yongmei and the others, they had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

What was an award ceremony that Chen Yu had become accustomed to was, for Yongmei and Wang Jingchun, the key to opening the door to a new world.

Even if you don't win an award, attending the event in person is a great option.

The car drove to the Strait Grand Theatre.

Looking around, the area was already completely blocked by media reporters.

Since the Golden Rooster Awards and the Golden Horse Awards went head-to-head, the public's enthusiasm for the Golden Rooster Awards has become incredibly high.

"Honey, look—"

Liu Yifei patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, gesturing for him to look out the window.

Among the media reporters on both sides of the red carpet were some fans holding banners.

The name on it is Chen Yu.

It seems that fan culture has already poisoned the entertainment industry ahead of time; this is truly the first time Chen Yu has ever seen such a situation.

"Our Brother Yu is so popular right now."

"Both sides of this red carpet are basically filled with your fans."

Wang Jingchun also looked out the window. He already knew that Chen Yu was very popular, but when he was actually there, he was still shocked.

"I want to be like Brother Chen Yu when I grow up!"

A childish voice rang out.

Chen Yu reached out and patted Zhang Zifeng's head, but his thoughts drifted away.

"No need to wait until later."

"You just need to keep going down the path you want to take."

As for the result.

Someone will give you the answer. (End of Chapter)
