Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 483: The stars are shining brightly, the sky is full of stars
In the following two days, celebrities came to the city of Hefei one after another.

Many fans also came.

This is because this awards ceremony was modeled after the Golden Horse Awards, being held in a venue such as a stadium, and tickets are sold to the public.

There were already a lot of hype surrounding this award ceremony, and the celebrities present were a galaxy of stars.

You don't have to think about it to know that this ticket will sell well.

Not only that, many people who didn’t get tickets also wanted to join in the fun, hoping to maybe run into a celebrity or something.

This is not just wishful thinking.

Just in the hotel where Chen Linfeng was staying, he met many acquaintances.

Coincidentally, Wang Jiawei was in the next room.

At noon on the 21st, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian went out to eat and happened to meet him checking into the hotel.

What’s strange is that this person didn’t wear sunglasses in private, and Chen Linfeng didn’t recognize him at first glance.

It was only when the other party took the initiative to talk that he reacted.

The sunglasses are really made into their original form.

However, although the room was right next door, Chen Linfeng did not have more communication with Wang Jiawei.

They are not directors of the same generation, and it would be difficult to communicate with each other if it weren't for friends' introduction.

Chen Linfeng himself is a screenwriter, and he looks down on the other party's approach of filming first and then completing the script during editing (fog).

In terms of age, region, and shooting concepts, we are not the same, so it is really not easy to talk to each other.

Liu Qianqian is quite interested in Wang Jiawei.

"I heard that if you act under him once, you can go from being a star to an actor. Is that true?"

Chen Linfeng said unhappily, "As long as you are willing to repeat yourself endlessly and not know what role you played after filming, then go and try to take his role."

"That's just like when you were filming My Love from the Star."

Chen Linfeng couldn't help but complain, "My version is a truncated version, this is the real one."

By this time they had walked out of the hotel and got into the car.

Sister Mei heard them bickering again, so she asked with a smile, "What are you arguing about?"

Liu Qianqian was full of joy, "Haha, I just met Director Wang Jiawei, and I pretended that I wanted to take over Director Wang's role, but Xiaofeng got jealous.

It seems that Director Chen still can't do without me as the leading actress."

"Don't talk nonsense," Chen Linfeng glared, "I didn't stop you from going."

Liu Qianqian snorted and didn't say much.

Sister Mei shook her head helplessly, "You two are already husband and wife, why are you still bickering with each other all the time?"

Liu Qianqian immediately complained, "He is the one who always starts the trouble. Sister Mei, you know I am always the one who gets bullied."

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to him for you later."

Liu Qianqian then winked at Chen Linfeng proudly.

Chen Linfeng pretended not to see anything, so you can only show off at this time.

It was the morning of the 22nd, and there was still half a day before the awards ceremony in the evening.

They will go to the place set up in advance by the organizing committee, where they will put on makeup and make preparations.

Halfway through the journey, they met two cars, and soon Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang got in.

The two cars followed behind the convoy.

They had made an appointment to go to the scene together.

As soon as he got in the car, Shi Xiaolong looked at the road full of luxury cars with Yanjing license plates and couldn't help but sigh.

"This year's Golden Rooster Awards is really a big deal. In the past few years, few people were willing to participate."

Shu Chang sneered and said, "If we only give out the Golden Rooster Award, I guess there won't be many people participating."

This is about the announcement of the nomination list for the Golden Rooster Awards.

Among them, the more noteworthy ones are "Your Name" and "Aftershock", which were nominated for 9 awards respectively.

Then there are "The Whistleblower" and "The Siege of the City" with two nominations, and "The Founding of a Republic" with one nomination.

Gone.

That’s right, among the 50 nominated films, only these 5 films are relatively well-known to the public.

The rest are all movies whose names I have never heard of.

Even "The Ugly Duckling", which was so popular among students and parents at the time, failed to be shortlisted.

Therefore, some time ago, the Golden Rooster Awards was directly criticized and became a hot topic.

The list of the 100-year classics in film history will be announced at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony and will be listed as the biggest news at the time.

Shi Xiaolong couldn't help but say, "I don't know what those people in the organizing committee were thinking. For such a grand occasion, they did this. They really don't care at all."

Chen Linfeng said with a strange expression, "I guess they are regretting it now."

The event of "A Century of Film Classics" has only received strong support from the official level in the past two months.

The nomination list was announced on September 9.

Previously, when they were discussing the nominated films, they probably thought that this activity was just a self-entertainment for a small number of people and did not take it seriously.

Afterwards, it was decided to merge it with the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, and then the nomination list was announced at the same time.

It's too late to change it now.

But it can't be the only way.

The journey was not far, and we were having a great time chatting in the car when we arrived.

This place has been surrounded by various media reporters.

When they saw Chen Linfeng and the other four getting off the car, the reporters rushed over immediately.

"Many celebrity actors and actresses are here at this year's Golden Rooster Awards. Which of these actors and actresses do you think you would like to work with in the future?"

"It's hard to say. There are so many excellent actors. If I really have to choose, I will definitely be overwhelmed."

"I heard that each of the 100 classic works will select a representative to receive the honor. Director Chen, have you decided who will be the representative for your three works on the list?"

"I'm sure you've thought about it."

"Can you tell me who it is?"

"Don't worry, you'll know in the evening."

"Liu Qianqian, will you go on stage to represent Your Name?"

"It's kept secret for now."

"..."

Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang, who would have been the focus of media attention in other situations, were completely ignored by the media at this time.

This year's selection of centennial classics attracted too much attention.

Now, in this situation, no matter how popular you are, only those who are related to the hundred classic works will be the center of public opinion.

Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang stood aside, watching Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian facing the media with smiles on their faces, and they were extremely envious.

It’s awesome to have a classic work that you can show off.

At this time, both of them set a goal in mind:

In the years to come, there must be a classic like this that can stand the test of time.

Stop being a spectator and become a participant.

Not only them, but all the celebrity actors who arrived at the event around this time secretly swore in their hearts.

Of course, Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang are definitely not the kind of unknown actors.

At first, Chen and Liu had not appeared in public since their marriage, and the reporters were a little too excited.

After the excitement died down, reporters started looking for Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang for interviews.

After finally getting rid of the reporters, Chen Linfeng saw that Shi Xiaolong's expression was not right at all, as if he was gathering strength, so he couldn't help but ask,

"What's going on here?"

Before the other party could answer, he reacted.
“Ha, you are envious, right? I should work hard to be like Van Loong and Jet Li, whose representative works were selected (Shaolin Temple).

As long as I go far enough in my career as an action actor, I will definitely have opportunities in the future."

As he spoke, he patted the other person on the back.

I wanted to rub my head, but when I saw the hairstyle I had decided on, I decided not to do it.

Shi Xiaolong quickly slapped his hand away, "That's enough, stop showing off, I don't need you to comfort and encourage me."

Although he was already used to it, he still couldn't stand it.

I am the brother, okay!

Can you be depressed once or twice and let me comfort you?

But there was no way. It seemed that he had little hope of doing so in the foreseeable future.

Having a genius brother is really too much pressure.

After entering the backstage, they were all given their own dressing rooms, but it was just noon, so they were not busy preparing.

Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang were both chatting in Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian's dressing room. They were assigned to one room, which was also the largest room here.

After a while, there was a sound from the door outside.

Some people in the circle started to visit.

Most of them were acquaintances from the past, including Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Hu Ge, Zhang Junning, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others.

The room gradually became lively.

Originally, this awards ceremony seemed to have nothing to do with them.

There were no works of theirs in the first hundred miles.

However, the second round of selection included 1000 industry judges.

Unlike the two hundred judges in the first round, the requirements were not so strict.

All of them are among the judges for the second round, including Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang.

Chen Linfeng has three movies in the top 100, maybe he has their support.

Anyway, every time they came over, they hinted that they had voted for Director Chen.

Time passed by two or three in the afternoon, and everyone had to go back to prepare for the red carpet in the evening.

Chen Linfeng was ready quickly.

He was always very fast at applying makeup.

There's nothing you can do about it, that's how male actors are.

Based on past experience, the average male actor enters his golden age after he reaches his thirties or forties, when his face starts to show a sense of vicissitudes or maturity.

Before that, he could only play roles that required young faces.

Excluding his role as director and screenwriter, Chen Linfeng also prefers mature and masculine roles in his acting.

Although it’s not as serious as Bai Gu turning into Hei Gu, where he suddenly became a rough man.

Sometimes people don’t pay much attention to maintenance issues.

He is not a traffic star, so he doesn't want to be androgynous and become a young and handsome guy.

But what’s annoying is that his actions seem to be of little use, and he is still as handsome as ever today.

Complaining silently in his heart, Chen Linfeng watched the makeup artist working on Xixi's face for a while and felt a little bored.

Just thinking about having to choose clothes later and being asked by my wife which one looks good is even more torturous.

So he said hello to Sissi and was about to retreat.

"Xixi, I'm going to go out for a walk first."

"Oh, then you go first, I'll call you when I'm done.

Would you like some advice when I change my clothes later?"

Chen Linfeng quickly shook his head, "Forget it. My aesthetic level is not much better than yours. Let the professionals come later."

It’s hard to describe Xixi’s fashion sense in the past, it was all thanks to her good looks.

Afterwards, Chen Linfeng complained several times, and Liu Qianqian spent a lot of money to hire a professional to provide advice to the team.

You know what, the effect is much better.

And since I started a Hanfu brand company, I have become even better at matching clothes.

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips, feeling looked down upon, but she didn't know what to say, so she just said "oh".

There's nothing you can do about it. After all, many fans later on really felt that her fashion sense had improved.

Even reporters have asked her how she improved her aesthetic taste.

It’s depressing just thinking about it.

Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, Chen Linfeng hesitated and said, "How about I wait for you a little longer?"

"No, no, just go ahead."

Liu Qianqian waved her hand and told him to do as he wished.

Knowing that he was feeling uncomfortable waiting, I simply agreed out of understanding.

She never liked that kind of little girl behavior.

When a couple lives together, they must always consider each other and not just act on their own temperament.

Liu Qianqian takes their relationship and marriage very seriously and does not want any cracks.

Fortunately, Xiaofeng is a really good person.

Not only does he never give the female fairies any chance outside, which makes her feel very relieved.

And when the two of them were together, he was always able to tolerate her a little.

It would be better if you didn't tease her all the time.

The makeup artist watched their interaction throughout and couldn't help but sigh.

"Director Chen and Sister Xixi, you two are so loving. People watching are so envious."

This makeup artist is the person in the team who specializes in doing Liu Xixi's makeup.

The two have a very good relationship.

Liu Qianqian joked in a joking tone among friends.

"You're so jealous, why don't you find someone quickly? I always hear that someone is pursuing you, but I never see you take any action."

"I'm still young, there's no rush."

"..."

After Chen Linfeng went out, he wandered around.

The artists were all getting ready in their dressing rooms, and the reporter probably went to the red carpet not far from here to get ready.

There weren't too many people outside at this time.

Chen Linfeng had only taken two steps outside when he was stopped by a phone call from the organizing committee.

The party schedule has been reviewed in advance, so there shouldn't be anything else to worry about.

After he answered the phone, he found out that he was asked to be the presenter of the Best Feature Film award.

It was said that the originally scheduled award presenter was not suitable for the current occasion, and after final consideration, it was decided that it would be better to ask Director Chen to present the award.

He complimented her several times in one speech.

Chen Linfeng understood what he meant. This was equivalent to telling him in advance that he would definitely not get the award.

He didn't believe that the Golden Rooster Awards organizing committee would come up with the idea of ​​awarding the award to itself.

This is because I am worried that I will be unhappy at that time, so I clicked it in advance and made a more subtle notification.

Chen Linfeng hung up the phone with a half-smile on his face.

It remains to be seen which work wins this theoretically highest award.

He just felt angry and amused. These people really didn't hide their feelings at all.

You feel confident, right?

But it’s just as well. If we don’t create a big public opinion storm, it will be difficult to move forward with subsequent matters.

Chen Linfeng paced back, thinking about possible subsequent developments.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Liu Qianqian asked curiously, seeing that he seemed a little unhappy.

"I thought about it and decided it would be better for me to come back and give you some advice."

Liu Qianqian's eyes curved. Although she knew he said that on purpose, she was still very happy.

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the outside of the venue was already crowded with people, including not only a large group of media reporters, but also many fans who came to watch the ceremony.

The scene was buzzing with people.

A bunch of little stars just came over, some of them didn’t even have an invitation, they just came to walk the red carpet.

But from now on, they are basically all well-known artists.

People like Zhang Hanyu, Ruan Jingtian, Sun Li, Deng Chao, etc. gradually appeared one by one, attracting cheers from fans.

Afterwards, a number of veteran stars including Andy Lau, Kwok Fook-shing, Li Ming, Louis Koo, and Liang Chiu-wai appeared on the stage.

The fans' voices have reached a new dimension.

Then there are the big directors, such as Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, Wang Jing and others.

Wang Jiawei has become his complete self this time, and once he put on his sunglasses, he instantly looks right.

Chen Linfeng followed him.

When he and Liu Qianqian appeared on stage, the cheers around them were deafening, and the reporters turned on their flashlights so fast that they almost lit up the sky.

……

The inner field was converted from a gymnasium, and the stage and big screen in front were gradually built up a month ago.

The area was filled with people, and many fans were holding glow sticks, making the sky look like the night sky dotted with stars.

When Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian entered the venue, their figures appeared on the big screen.

The entire venue seemed to be shaking.

Many fans shouted in unison and waved glow sticks, it looked like a flowing river of stars, it looked spectacular.

Liu Qianqian was taken aback by the overwhelming enthusiasm.

She maintained a polite smile and waved, whispering, "What an exaggerated scene."

"Haha, yeah, I was almost scared too."

They were not the only ones who were shocked. Other celebrity artists who were already seated were also stunned by the scene.

When other big-name stars entered the venue just now, they saw the reactions of the people around them.

Although the noise was quite loud, it was nothing like this. Everyone was shouting, and it felt like they were going to tear the sky apart.

Is this the most dazzling star in China today?
Horror!
The place was so big and crowded that even though Chen Linfeng had seen his location before, he still found the way with the guidance of the staff.

"Director Chen, your seat is on the left side of the second row, next to Director Wang Jiawei."

"Teacher Liu, you and Director Chen are next to each other."

The staff member gestured with his hands to inform.

"Okay, I understand, thank you." Chen Linfeng said with a smile.

Liu Qianqian also nodded.

When Chen Linfeng was almost there, he took a quick look and felt that it was extraordinary.

Artists such as Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu and Gong Li, who rarely appeared in the past and are almost semi-retired, are also on the list.

Liu Qianqian also saw it, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Sitting next to her idol when she first entered the industry gave her the illusion that her dream had come true.

Although these people are no longer in their prime, one can still vaguely see their glory days.

After Liu Qianqian sat down, she realized that Zhang Manyu seemed to be sitting behind her.

Two seats away from Zhang Manyu is Lin Qingxia.

One seat next to Liu Qianqian in this row is Gong Li.

This made her freeze for a moment.

I really wanted to go back and say hello to Zhang Manyu, as I had already met Gong Li before.

She hasn't communicated with Zhang Manyu yet, but now they are not very familiar with each other, so she feels embarrassed.

Chen Linfeng saw what Xixi was thinking.

He had no psychological burden at all, and turned his head and smiled, "Teacher Zhang, it's rare to see you. I'm Chen Linfeng."

He also put his hand on Xixi's shoulder and patted her, "This is Liu Xixi, you can just call her Xixi, she likes your work very much."

Liu Qianqian instantly turned her head to look at him, her eyes wide open.

Chen Linfeng blinked and said, "Don't thank me."

I thank you a damn!

Zhang Manyu smiled gently, "How could I not know Director Chen's name? I also like Xixi's works. She acted really well in Your Name and My Love from the Star. The Little Dragon Girl was also very good."

Liu Qianqian asked in surprise, "You have also watched My Love from the Star?"

"Yes, Anxi is the most beautiful. I have nothing to do at home, so I can only watch various dramas."

"Wow, I also like your performance in "Sweet Honey", it's so good."

Zhang Manyu actually really wanted to meet Chen Linfeng.

The most popular person in the industry nowadays is Director Chen. Even though she is not active in the circle, she is still well-known.

But after the other party started talking, he stopped talking, which was somewhat regrettable.

But Liu Qianqian is also very nice. Zhang Manyu was really not just being polite when she said that. She has watched "My Love from the Star" and "Your Name".

She even watched The Walking Dead.

In Hong Kong Island, "The Walking Dead" is more popular.

Just like that, one wanted to get to know the other and the other wanted to make friends, and soon they started communicating with each other.

The interaction between the two ended temporarily until the award ceremony was about to begin.

The hosts on the stage are Xiao Sa, Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao.

Next to it is the live broadcast of the Six Princesses and the recorded broadcast of Set 1, which will be edited and played later.

Huazhong Television really attaches great importance to this aspect.

The award ceremony process tonight was very special. First, some of the Golden Rooster Awards were presented, in the middle was a section on the classics of a century of film history, and finally, several important Golden Rooster Awards were handed out.

It is like cutting the Golden Rooster Awards in half and stuffing in a century-old classic in film history.

The first part is really boring.

"Aftershock" won the Best Music and Best Art Direction awards, while "Founding of a Republic" won the Best Recording award.

The rest are less well-known works.

After this segment ended, the whole audience seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere finally became lively.

At this time, three hosts walked onto the stage together.

"Chinese film has been around for a hundred years. From a time perspective, it can be considered an old man."

"But looking at the present, she is always full of new vitality, like a young person in her prime."

"Yes, it is both ancient and young, both steady and tolerant, and yet open and dynamic. Isn't it just like the ancient land under our feet?"

"Indeed, Chinese films are a reflection and a portrayal of this nation and this country."

"..."

The three of them gave their opening remarks, and then Zhu Jun announced,
"China has produced countless excellent works in its 100-year history of film. Today, 100 classic works selected by thousands of outstanding filmmakers will be announced here.

It proclaims the glory of the past and provides guidance for the future.”

The lights in the entire venue suddenly lit up, and then focused on an open space between the stage and the guests.

There was a circular platform there, which had never been illuminated by lights before and had never been noticed by the audience in the distance.

There are many seats arranged on the platform, densely packed in the shape of a five-pointed star.

The seats were empty at this time.

The host had already created a very tense atmosphere through his words. At this time, Zhu Jun looked at the cue card in his hand and said loudly, "The 100th classic in the history of movies is "Sunny Days"!"
