Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 132: Academy Awards, Stars in the Spotlight
After Liu Sisi and Yang Mi left, Qin Chuan's RV became quiet again, with only Liu Yifei and Wang Tingting left.

In the afternoon, Qin Chuan had just finished filming a scene and before he even got on the RV, he shouted, "Xixi, I found a health store. Let's go wash our feet together after work tonight."

As soon as he stepped into the RV, Qin Chuan saw Liu Xiaoli with a livid face sitting opposite Liu Yifei, and he withdrew one foot in an emergency.

Turn around and leave.

The less trouble, the better.

"Why are you running? Stop right there."

Qin Chuan forced a smile: "Auntie, I remembered that I have something else to do on the set, you guys chat."

"Stop right there whether you have something to do or not. I was wondering why this girl is getting more and more courageous. It turns out that you are the one who bewitched her. Last time she went back, she said she wanted to practice martial arts and horse riding, and she wanted to film a martial arts scene. As a result, she almost died in the water yesterday. She was not like this before."

"Now it's even worse. You're going to take her to wash her feet. Is that a place for girls?"

"Our Xixi turned bad after knowing you."

In Liu Xiaoli's words, Qin Chuan is now a yellow-haired guy who does everything except good things.

Liu Yifei learned bad things because she followed him.

My daughter used to be very obedient and well behaved, but she changed when I started watching The Legend of Sword and Fairy. She started talking back to me, quarreling with me, and not listening to adults.

In The Return of the Condor Heroes, she went even further, insisting on filming the martial arts scenes even though she was told not to.

Why is she learning the role of a female warrior? It's obvious that she was influenced by Qin Chuan.

Her assistant called her yesterday and said, God knows how she felt when Liu Yifei fell into the water.

Put down what you are doing and fly over here right away today.

I had just finished teaching Liu Yifei a lesson and before I could say anything about Qin Chuan, he showed up and asked to take his daughter to wash her feet.

Which good person would wash his feet?

Behind Qin Chuan, Wang Tingting's face changed and she felt sorry for Qin Chuan.

Looking at Qin Chuan again, with an unchanged smile on his face, he turned around, walked up to the RV and said, "Ah, yes, yes, you are right."

Liu Xiaoli was so angry that her lips were shaking.

Liu Yifei said aggrievedly: "Qin Chuan, please don't make my mother angry."

Qin Chuan shrugged without saying anything, poured himself a glass of water, and sat down with his legs crossed.

"Bah."

He also lit a cigarette.

Liu Xiaoli pointed at Qin Chuan with a trembling finger and said to Liu Yifei: "You are still speaking in his favor."

"I didn't. Besides, this time it was all thanks to Qin Chuan. If it weren't for him, I would have been washed away by the water."

"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have learned how to be a female warrior, let alone learn martial arts, and you wouldn't have been able to film martial arts scenes!"

"Six." Qin Chuan smiled and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"What do you mean by six?" Liu Xiaoli asked, "Am I wrong?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

"You, don't repeat the same thing over and over again."

Liu Xiaoli didn't know why, but she felt upset when she heard these words.

"Also, is it appropriate for you to smoke in front of a woman, in the car?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "That makes sense, it is indeed inappropriate."

Half a minute later, Liu Xiaoli was asked to get off the car.

Qin Chuan exhaled smoke and said, "It's all right now."

"You, you, you, do you have any manners at all? Xixi, get down here."

Liu Xiaoli was shouting outside, but Liu Yifei pretended not to hear her and said to Qin Chuan, "Can't you just talk to my mom in a friendly way?"

Qin Chuan was helpless: "How can I be so friendly? Auntie has a prejudice against me, and this inherent impression is hard to break."

"Look, I jumped into the water to rescue you yesterday, but in her eyes, it became my fault."

"I think unless I put the ultrasound results in front of her, she will never say anything good to me in her life."

Liu Yifei didn't understand: "What does the ultrasound report mean?"

Outside the RV, Liu Xiaoli heard the words "ultrasound report" and was already looking for a stone.

In the end I picked up a piece that weighed more than ten kilograms.

There was a lot of noise here, and of course the crew could hear it, but no one dared to come over to persuade them.

Now seeing Liu Xiaoli being kicked out of the car and still looking for Shi Tou, Zhao Jian couldn't sit still anymore.

"Sister Liu, don't be like this, let's talk it over nicely."

"Let's put the stone down first."

"There's no such thing as overnight hatred between mother and daughter. No matter what the matter is, just talk it out."

Zhao Jian thought that Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were arguing.

"What overnight grudge? I'm hitting Qin Chuan. This guy is not a good person. You didn't hear what he said."

Zhao Jian was confused. Qin Chuan had just rescued someone yesterday, and he thought Liu Xiaoli came here specially to thank him.

How did it become about hitting people?
"What did he say?"

"I, I, I." Liu Xiaoli was too embarrassed to talk about the ultrasound report.

At this time, Liu Yifei came down from the RV and joined in persuading them.

Finally, Liu Xiaoli put the stone down, angrily scolded Liu Yifei, and warned her not to play with Qin Chuan in the future.

After Liu Xiaoli left, Zhao Jian got into the RV.

I laughed immediately.

Qin Chuan is eating now. There are several dishes and a bottle of red wine on the table.

"Director Zhao, would you like some?"

"They were all ordered by the hotel. They were just made this afternoon. They are fresh."

"Can you still eat?" Zhao Jian sat opposite Qin Chuan: "What's wrong with you? Why did Liu Yifei's mother scold you?"

Qin Chuan slowly repeated Liu Xiaoli's words.

Zhao Jian frowned when he heard this: "This is too unreasonable. What does it have to do with you if Liu Yifei learns to be a female warrior? That's her own choice."

Qin Chuan ate without looking up: "Actually, it's a little bit related. I suggested that she learn the role of a female warrior."

Zhao Jian:"……"

"But in the final analysis, it was Liu Yifei's insistence to film the martial arts scenes, and falling into the water was an accident. You jumped into the water to save him immediately, so it's not an exaggeration to say that you are a lifesaver. But she said that about you, which is too much."

"Who said it wasn't?" Qin Chuan felt wronged.

Zhao Jian felt a little sorry for Qin Chuan and could only say that Liu Xiaoli's reason was too far-fetched.

"Why did she get off the bus again?"

"She said I shouldn't smoke in front of women in the car."

Zhao Jian looked strange: "So, don't tell me you chased her away?"

Qin Chuan said seriously: "This is my car, I can't get off, right?"

Zhao Jian was speechless: "No wonder she scolded you so harshly."

Who wouldn’t curse at this?

"Just now outside I saw her picking up a rock to hit you. She said you said something nasty. What did you say?"

"Nothing, I just made an analogy..."

After listening to this, Zhao Jian also lit a cigarette. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your mouth is like poison. I wouldn't be surprised if someone put a sack on me and beat me up while I'm walking down the street one day."

He finally figured out that Qin Chuan did it on purpose.

Not to mention Liu Xiaoli, even if you put yourself in the other person's shoes, you'd find it a little hard to hold back.

Where did this yellow-haired guy come from? Why is he so arrogant?

Fortunately, Liu Yifei got out of the car in the end, otherwise Liu Xiaoli would probably have blown up the car.

"I don't care about your family affairs, and I can't care about them. Just finish filming your scenes first. After that, you can quarrel as much as you want."

Fortunately, the two of them didn’t have scenes together next.

We have finished filming in Jiuzhaigou and will go to Xiangshan Film and Television Base in a few days.

The next day, Qin Chuan asked for leave.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and before the Spring Festival, he is going to attend the Academy Awards.

Before leaving, I sent a text message to Liu Yifei.

Ask her to help pick someone up.

"Hello, I'm from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Center. Mr. Qin asked me to come over."

Outside the crew's cordon, a woman in her thirties stood in front of Liu Yifei carrying a small box.

Liu Yifei said: "Qin Chuan has asked for leave and is not here."

"I know. He was the one who asked me to give you a shoulder and neck massage."

"Give me?"

"correct."

Liu Yifei was touched. She had only mentioned before that her hair was heavy and her cervical spine was uncomfortable, but she didn't expect Qin Chuan still remembered it.

No wonder he asked me to wash my feet yesterday.

As a result, my mother misunderstood me and scolded me for no reason.

Now we have invited all the masters to come to our door.

Five minutes later, Liu Yifei was in the tent.

"what!"

Liu Yifei screamed in pain under the massage of the health club staff.

Liu Xiaoli was also worried and said, "Press it gently."

"It's not a matter of whether it's mild or not. The pain means that her cervical spine is not in good condition. It's quite serious. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise she would have suffered from the disease in the future."

"Try to wear your hair less often in the future. It's too heavy. It not only puts pressure on your cervical spine, but also on your nerves."

"Also, you have to go to therapy for half an hour every day."

"It's so serious." Liu Xiaoli's face changed drastically.

"definitely."

……

Hong Kong Island.

This is not the first time Qin Chuan has come here. He came here for an audition for A Chinese Ghost Story, and some scenes in A Chinese Ghost Story were also shot here.

After he and Wang Tingting found a hotel to stay in, he sent a text message to Zhou Xingchi, telling him that he had arrived.

in the afternoon.

After putting on makeup and a suit, Qin Chuan arrived at the Academy Awards.

When he was auditioning for the role in The Legend of Sword and Fairy last year, he rented an Armani suit.

The set I'm wearing now is the same as the original one, but it's not rented, it's custom-made, and the size is more suitable.

The scene was packed with people, including hundreds of journalists from the media, and well-known artists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong were all there. It was drizzling, so Wang Tingting walked beside him and held an umbrella for him.

Qin Chuan glanced at her shoulders that were almost soaked and said, "Give me another umbrella."

Wang Tingting shook her head: "How many celebrities have you seen holding their own umbrellas? It's cool, you know?"

Qin Chuan smiled. He really didn’t quite understand.

For example, at the scene, guests have to sign in, line up to walk the red carpet, and sign on the autograph wall.

With so many people, this will have to wait until the end of time.

Hundreds of artists waited in the rain just to walk on the red carpet for a few seconds. Is it worth it?
More than an hour later, the host called Qin Chuan's name.

After adjusting his suit, Qin Chuan put one hand in his pocket and stepped onto the red carpet.

"Click."

"Click."

"Click."

Hundreds of camera flashes flashing one after another can blind people's eyes.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan had practiced Peking Opera, so keeping his eyes focused and not blinking for several minutes was a basic skill.

The red carpet is only two meters wide and dozens of meters long, but when you walk on it, you feel like you have arrived at the center of the world.

Countless people's eyes were focused on him.

Qin Chuan felt as if he was surrounded by the world.

This is what it feels like to be the center of attention.

This one hour wait was definitely worth it.

On the signature wall, Qin Chuan held a marker in his hand and left his name at the Academy Awards for the first time.

The two words "Qinchuan" were written three or four times larger than others, and were very eye-catching.

Some of the artists who saw it laughed, while others cursed him in their hearts as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Qin Chuan returned the pen to the etiquette lady and strode into the inner court.

There are fewer media reporters here, but more bigwigs in the circle.

In the first row, Qin Chuan saw Liu Dehua, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Brother Hua."

"Qin Chuan, we meet again."

"Yes, we'll see you in two days."

"How's the song going? My hometown is in that village."

Afraid that Qin Chuan would forget, Liu Dehua reminded him.

"No problem, I've almost finished writing it. It should be finished by the time of the Spring Festival Gala."

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. Take your time to write. I saw on the nomination list that you are the best supporting actor tonight. Congratulations."

Qin Chuan said modestly: "There are too many outstanding predecessors, I am just going through the motions."

Liu Dehua said meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true."

After greeting Liu Dehua, Qin Chuan found his seat. The entire Kung Fu crew was together, and his seat was in the middle of the audience seats, the position most easily captured by the camera, which was the C position.

"Sister Qiu, long time no see."

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

"Hello, Brother Wang."

"Master Ba, you are in good health."

They were all people from the Kung Fu crew, Qin Chuan knew them all, and he greeted them one by one.

This time, Kung Fu was nominated for sixteen categories, including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Martial Arts Coordinator, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction... too many.

At this year's Academy Awards, Kung Fu is definitely the most dazzling presence.

The global box office myth of 800 million also made the three words "Zhou Xingchi" stand at the pinnacle of Chinese-language films.

Not long after Qin Chuan sat down, Zhou Xingchi arrived. Starting from the gate, wherever he went, everyone stood up to greet him, some shook hands, some greeted them, and those who didn't say hello didn't dare to sit down.

"This is real strength." Qin Chuan clapped his hands and said enviously.

This is what a man should do!
That one can be replaced...this one is a bit irreplaceable.

There is one best actor every year, and there is one Stephen Chow in a century. I am not exaggerating.

It has been 1901 years since the first cinema, Hi-Land Cinema, was opened in Hong Kong in .

Among Hong Kong's local films, Kung Fu has the highest box office.

Many box office champions are the result of Zhou Xingchi constantly breaking through himself.

There are only two or three people who can fight with him.

In the past ten years, only Cheng Long could compete with him.

Even Chow Yun-fa is not very capable.

Director Wang Jin of later generations once said that Zhou Xingchi was the best actor, and it was unlikely that anyone would be able to surpass him in the next fifty years.

Many people label Zhou Xingchi as a genius and a freak.

Some foreign media even commented that he is the Chaplin of the East.

Qin Chuan doesn’t think that he will never be able to reach Zhou Xingchi’s level in box office in this lifetime, nor does he think that he will not win as many awards as him in the future.

Rather, it is the times that make heroes.

There are only one or two master-level entertainment celebrities in an era, and they cannot be replicated.

"Master Xing!"

"Master Xing!"

"Director Zhou!"

It was just a matter of a few steps, and it took Zhou Xingchi more than ten minutes to get to his seat and sit down, as there were so many people looking for him to say hello.

I picked a few of my more familiar friends and chatted with the boss, and he ignored all the others.

What best actor, best actress, king of pop, they just hung their hands in the air, smiled bitterly and put them back awkwardly.

After sitting down, Zhou Xingchi said to Qin Chuan: "I heard that you are going to be on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"lucky."

"You are really lucky. You won a prize tonight."

"Thank you, Ji Yan."

After not seeing each other for more than a year, Qin Chuan found that Zhou Xingchi had aged a little.

His hair was grey and he had a stubbled beard.

He's only in his forties, but looks like he's in his sixties.

But today he was wearing a black suit, a white shirt and a black bow tie, just like the gambling saint Axing back then.

Half an hour later, the Academy Awards began.

Qin Chuan didn't pay much attention to the opening remarks and the song and dance performance. He just noticed that Zhou Xingchi was very happy today and was chatting with the people around him.

This was the day he smiled the most since he met Zhou Xingchi.

Soon, the first award was presented.

Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu were the award presenters.

Liang Chaowei first glanced at the award card and smiled: "The 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the best film is..."

"Kung Fu!" Zhang Manyu continued the second half of the sentence.

Zhou Xingchi smiled, stood up, waved towards the camera, and hugged Qin Chuan and others around him.

Walking onto the stage, Zhou Xingchi took the trophy from Liang Chaowei.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

The two are old rivals and old acquaintances.

Many people don’t know that they were childhood friends.

We were good friends before debuting.

Liang Chaowei was happy for him when he won the award this time.

"Thank you to the National Film Administration, thank you to Columbia Pictures, thank you to the conference..." Zhou Xingchi raised the trophy in his hand.

It was a good start right from the start, and Zhou Xingchi was a little excited.

After his acceptance speech, there was another round of singing and dancing, and then the new award presenter came on stage.

The second award is Best Director.

Having been in the industry for many years, Stephen Chow has directed countless films, many of which have been box office champions.

What’s surprising is that, over the years, only Shaolin Soccer won the Best Director award a few years ago.

This time, the global total box office reached 800 million yuan. Zhou Xingchi felt that this result should be able to shut up the judges.

"The 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the Best Director is "One Nite in Mongkok"."

Zhou Xingchi's smile froze, and countless people cast meaningful glances at him.

The winner, Derek Yee, was a little surprised that he won the award.

In just two seconds, Zhou Xingchi's smile returned to normal and he applauded and congratulated his colleagues.

The Kung Fu crew was silent and no one dared to speak.

The next award is Best Actor.

Zhou Xingchi is also one of the nominees.

From the first nomination for Best Actor in 1990 to now, in the past 15 years, he has been nominated eight times in total.

Zhou Xingchi won once, in the last Shaolin Soccer competition.

This time, he didn't think his performance was worse than last time.

It’s time for him to be the best actor.

Beside him, Qin Chuan sighed inwardly. As someone who had experienced it, he knew the ending too well, and he also knew how deep Zhou Xingchi's obsession with the Academy Awards was.

Before A Chinese Odyssey, the judges did not give him the Best Actor award, saying that he had no acting skills.

So he blasted the judges and showed off his acting skills in A Chinese Odyssey, changing five or six expressions in a few seconds.

In the end, the judges still did not give him the Best Actor award.

In today's session, according to historical trajectory, Zhou Xingchi still did not win.

"The 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the Best Actor is Leung Chiu Wai."

On the stage, when the presenter read out Liang Chaowei's name, Zhou Xingchi could no longer hold back.

He put away his smile and looked lonely.

Qin Chuan looked at him without saying a word.

He knew that after this session, Stephen Chow would never come to the Academy Awards again, and he didn't want to play anymore.
