Chapter 376 The Relationship Between "The Wandering Earth" and Andy Lau: A "Butterfly Effect"
"Ahhhh, Yang Qianxi!"

"Zhou Dongyu, ahhhhh!"

"Liu Haocun! Liu Haocun!"

Wow, Andy Lau…

Listening to the cheers of the fans outside, the photographers inside the red carpet could roughly tell who would be coming in.

They would adjust their own and the camera's settings based on the demands from the outside, deciding whether to casually film a wide shot of the celebrity entering or a close-up.

These are the people who need to be photographed carefully.

Yang Qianxi received a Best Actor nomination.

Although he is unlikely to win the award directly, he is famous and has a large following.

In comparison, Zhou Dongyu is a strong favorite to win the Best Actress award.

And if she really wins the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, she will become the youngest actress in China to achieve a "triple crown" of film awards.

Currently, there are only two actresses in China who have won the triple crown of the Golden Horse, Golden Rooster, and Golden Horse Awards: Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi.

If Zhou Dongyu could actually achieve this today, the topic would become incredibly popular.

After all, her acting skills, acting style, and overall quality are quite controversial.

However, Liu Haocun, the newly crowned "Zhang Yimou Girl," is also quite controversial.

"One Second," which was just released yesterday, is her first film. Although she is the female lead in Zhang Yimou's big production right from the start, she was not nominated for any Golden Rooster Awards this year due to the release date.

So she came to perform, singing the theme song of the movie, "One Second".

She sang the very first song of the awards ceremony, when everyone was at their most energetic, making it as effective as the "opening song."

It has to be said that the resources are incredible.

Despite having such incredible resources, many people feel that she lacks vocabulary and cultural depth, appears with only one expression and lacks acting skills, and even lacks humility and politeness, which has caused a lot of controversy.

A recent funny thing happened when she was interviewed on the movie channel. The host asked her, "Do you consider yourself a talented actress?"

She tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then smiled dismissively and said, "Hmm~ how can it not count?"

When commenting on seniors, they would say things like "not bad," "very hardworking," "very good," and "it touched me."

Those who know her would think she's talking about her views on her seniors, but those who don't might think she's a mentor on some talent show.

Of course, people now don't know that she will have even more outrageous scandals to come.

Compared to these young people, Andy Lau is relatively "ordinary".

He attended the Golden Rooster Awards not as an actor in "The Wandering Earth 2," but as a presenter and a veteran filmmaker.

He will later present the award for Best Actor as a presenter.

As a veteran filmmaker, he participated in the 2nd Golden Rooster Film Project Pitching Conference a few days ago, serving as the chief judge.

After all, he launched the "Asian New Director Project" a long time ago, using his fame and funds to support six young directors and help them realize their film dreams.

For example, Ning Hao is one of them, which is why the movie "Crazy Stone" came about.

Later, Ning Hao also launched the "72 Transformations Film Project," which is also dedicated to supporting and caring for young directors and filmmakers.

For example, "Dying to Survive" came about in this way.

Ning Hao also provided a lot of help to Guo Fan when he was filming "The Wandering Earth".

Lu Yun knew about this, especially since the help he received in his previous life was immense.

The filming of "The Wandering Earth" in his previous life did not go smoothly, and funding problems soon arose. At that time, Ning Hao was filming the science fiction film "Crazy Alien". In order to save money for the "The Wandering Earth" crew, he lent some of his crew's props and costumes to Guo Fan, and also made a cameo appearance in "The Wandering Earth".

It's fair to say that without Ning Hao's help, "The Wandering Earth" might never have existed.

Or rather, even if it appears, it will be a difficult birth.

Therefore, the end of "The Wandering Earth" includes a credit to Andy Lau, and Guo Fan himself also posted on Weibo to thank Ning Hao.

This is a story about filmmakers appreciating each other. Years ago, the flapping of a butterfly's wings has now created a hurricane in the film industry, and the butterfly in this story is Andy Lau.

Even with Lu Yun's help in this life, the situation of "The Wandering Earth" has improved a lot, especially after he tricked Wu Jing into investing 20 million more. However, Ning Hao's help was still indispensable throughout the filming process.

Therefore, this version of "The Wandering Earth" still includes a credit to Andy Lau at the end.

While the public was still confused, Andy Lau actually participated in the filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" and became one of the two male leads.

Even with the addition of Rowoon, a new butterfly who has lived two lives, it did not stir up any connection between Andy Lau and "The Wandering Earth".

This demonstrates the power of "world line convergence".

Now, the photographers at the Golden Rooster Awards red carpet feel a bit of a pity.

"It's a pity that only Andy Lau from the 'The Wandering Earth' crew came, and he joined later. If Lu Yun, Guo Fan, and Wu Jing had come, the atmosphere on set would have been explosive."

"Indeed, it's not only nominated films that can come. The crews of films like 'Warm Hug,' which will be released next month, and 'Hi, Mom,' which will be released next year, also came. It can be considered as early publicity."

"Hey, the main thing is that the 'Wandering Earth' crew doesn't lack popularity. Right now, Lu Yun's popularity has exploded. When the second movie is released, as a sequel to a super blockbuster movie with a box office of 65 billion, its popularity will definitely be even greater. So it's right for them to go into seclusion now and make the second movie even better."

"Then why does Andy Lau still have time to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards?"

"Isn't this different? As the director, Guo Fan definitely has to fully control the filming of 'The Wandering Earth 2' and can't leave. Lu Yun, on the other hand, has multiple roles and is very busy. He even attended the report meeting on the lunar rocket a few days ago. He has to film more movies to make up for the lost time."

"Actually, Andy Lau and Louis Koo took leave around the same time, but Louis Koo took leave to participate in a space event, while Andy Lau took leave to participate in film and television activities..."

Groups of celebrities and crew members quickly left, and then suddenly more than 40 young actors arrived.

They are all "outstanding young actors" selected by the "Starry Sea" Young Actor Selection Program of the Movie Channel, and this year marks the second edition.

They were all recommended by veteran filmmakers, top universities, and well-known talent agencies, and claimed to be "the future of Chinese-American cinema."

But netizens immediately felt that "the future of movies is doomed."

Can actors like Chen Feiyu, Fan Chengcheng, Liu Haocun, Wang Dalu, and Wang Junkai be considered "the future of film"?
In the eyes of netizens, they are basically all "people with connections".

It's not all of them, because there are indeed a few that are quite capable.

However, most talented young actors are not on this so-called "selection program" list.

So when they lined up and were scanned by the camera, the viewers watching the live stream were stunned.

Who is this? I don't recognize them.

[Can this be considered an excellent young actor?]

[Seriously? Fan Chengcheng is considered a good young actor? He doesn't even have any TV dramas, let alone movies, and the earliest one he'll release is at the end of next year!]

Holy crap, this so-called "preferred selection program" is incredibly good; it's packed with valuable information!

Haha, I was wondering about that before. Thank goodness my favorite young actors weren't on the list.

Hey, my favorite is Rowoon, and he didn't even make this list.

[Haha, thank goodness Lu Yun wasn't there, otherwise Lu Yun would have gotten dirty...]
