Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 192 Uncle Long
……

……

Gu Qing could feel Liu Shishi's body trembling slightly, her teeth chattering as if in the cold wind, but she was just forcing herself to maintain a smile.

He tightened his grip on her arm, giving Liu Shishi more leverage to steady herself, and then, turning his head slightly, whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Go inside. It's okay if you take a couple fewer photos."

Liu Shishi felt the support from the arms and the genuine care, and her heart warmed.

But then I heard the second half of the sentence: "Anyway, they're all filming me, so there's no point in you trying to pose."

That fleeting warmth was instantly dispelled by a mix of exasperation and amusement. Her perfect composure nearly crumbled on the spot. Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, she forced out through gritted teeth, "Can't you be a little less cheeky?"

"be honest."

Gu Qing looked innocent and half-supported, half-led her as she quickly walked through the end of the red carpet.

Stepping into the warm and bright meeting room,
Liu Shishi felt her almost frozen skin finally come back to life, greedily absorbing the warmth in the air.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if her soul had returned to its place.

"We have a good seat, in the third row."

Lu Yang looked around at the people he had admired before he started making movies, and now he was among them, a satisfied smile on his face.

Given the prestige of the Golden Horse Awards, the third row is definitely considered a relatively front-row seat.

Before "Brotherhood of Blades" became a hit, he never imagined that he could sit in such a prominent position with the lead actors.

Only very senior directors and business tycoons could sit and chat together in the first row of the venue.

"Brother Lu, are you really satisfied with this?"

Gu Qing found the seat with her name tag on it and subconsciously wanted to tear it off.

Fortunately, after hearing Lu Yang's words,
He turned his head, his face full of "sorrow," and said, "Can't you try a little harder so that my younger brother can benefit from your success?"

Lu Yang was taken aback by his expression: "Huh? W-what's wrong?"

Gu Qing raised her chin, gestured towards a spot not far ahead, and complained in a teasing tone, "Look at the cast of 'Mr. Six,' even Chris Wu and Li Yifeng managed to get into the second row with Director Feng."

He sighed sadly and said, "Now that I've been relegated to the third row, my rivals will definitely be trending on social media after the awards ceremony—"

I've already thought of the trending topics.
#Top star Gu Qing sat on the bench at the Golden Horse Awards, his status seems to be declining#
...Tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel depressed.

The joy on Lu Yang's face faded slightly. He actually thought about it for a moment, following Gu Qing's words, and a strange sense of guilt and "I'm the one who's holding everyone back" rose in his heart.

It then transformed into a fighting spirit of never giving up.

He puffed out his chest and solemnly assured Gu Qing, "Brother, don't worry, when I reach Director Feng's level in the future, I'll definitely make you proud! At that time, I'll arrange for you not only the second row, but also the center seat in the first row!"

Gu Qing chuckled dryly, "Then I'll just hope I can become an international superstar."

This unexpected twist in the witty remark hit Zhang Zheng and Liu Shishi, who were sitting next to him, with a perfect punchline.

Zhang Zheng had just picked up his bottle of mineral water to take a sip when he heard this, and almost choked, so he quickly put the cup down.

Liu Shishi couldn't help herself and quickly covered her mouth with the back of her hand, her jade shoulders shrugging to keep the laughter from spilling out.

Lu Yang was speechless, half of his earlier enthusiasm vanished, and he was heartbroken. "Brother, I finally managed to ignite some ambition, can you please stop telling me the truth and hurting my feelings? Can't you give me some encouragement?"

"Good, good, good, that's encouraging."

Gu Qing patted Lu Yang's shoulder heavily, saying earnestly, "Go, Brother Lu! You'll be my second Xu Ke!"

The atmosphere here was exceptionally harmonious and joyful thanks to Gu Qing's witty remarks.

The group settled into chairs labeled with their names, relaxed, and temporarily shed the tension of the red carpet. They chatted and laughed in hushed tones, waiting for the awards ceremony of this grand event in the Chinese film industry to officially begin.

But suddenly,
The originally noisy discussions in the meeting room suddenly rose a notch, as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake!

Immediately afterwards, as if commanded by an invisible order, except for a very few artists who were unable to arrive in time due to being in the backstage rest area,

Throughout the venue—whether it was the seasoned directors and top producers sitting in the front row, or the up-and-coming actors and behind-the-scenes workers in the back row—almost all the artists and directors stood up!
"Big brother!"

"Big brother is here!"

Respectful, even excited, greetings rose and fell, creating a wave of enthusiasm.

A true international superstar has emerged!

At the entrance of the venue, the appearance of a figure instantly ignited the entire venue from the orderly warm-up before the awards ceremony into a boiling celebration!
In the entire Chinese-language film and television industry, only one person can achieve this level of success, and that person is:

'Chen Long'!
He wasn't particularly tall, and he was wearing a very simple black Zhongshan suit.

Without elaborate embroidery or sparkling embellishments, it features a classic stand-up collar, concealed buttons, a well-fitting cut, and clean lines.

This outfit stands out as exceptionally understated, even plain, among the elaborately designed gowns and haute couture suits.

"Sit, sit, sit."

Brother Chen Long has a signature, infectious smile on his face, full of energy and radiant, but he can't hide the signs of aging.

He doesn't need any external embellishments.

His name is the most dazzling medal; the path he walked is the most awe-inspiring chapter.

Every step I take,
Chen Long's figure naturally became the absolute focus of the entire event, and he greeted every artist team that passed by in a friendly manner.

That black Zhongshan suit seemed to carry the glory and struggle of Chinese-language cinema over the past decades, exuding a heavy weight on him.

He is an undisputed international superstar, a living legend.

At the turn of the millennium,
His achievements have transcended national borders.

Chen Long is also the only remaining superstar in the world after Michael Jackson who is recognized globally as having epoch-making significance and terrifying global influence.

Only one person!
His action-comedy films are a passport across languages ​​and cultures.

Even in the most remote and poorest tribes in the Philippines, as long as you can find even a dilapidated VCD player, you can almost always find his movie discs.

The children there may not know who the president is, but they will definitely recognize Jackie Chan and imitate his signature gestures and smile.

You may not like him.
But your favorite idol definitely likes him.

He is an object of respect and admiration for adult movie fans.
same,
He is also a hero in the eyes of children.

Amidst the calls of "Big Brother",
"Uncle Long?!"

For the first time, Gu Qing's mind went blank.

Compared to the huge fame of the Police Story series and Project A series.

Every child who grew up watching children's channels will be familiar with this phrase:

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Chen Long cried out in panic as he fled.

"And one more thing."

"Demons and monsters, leave quickly! Demons and monsters, leave quickly!" said the old man, holding a dried pufferfish to exorcise evil spirits.

"The crow flies an airplane!" Afu's ultimate move.

And... Xiaoyu's words:

"Hi, Uncle Long."

This childhood hero descended the mountain amidst applause.

They naturally arrived at the location of Gu Qing and the others.

"Brother Chen Long!"

Lu Yang was so excited he was at a loss for words, his hands trembling uncontrollably. "I'm Lu Yang, the director of 'Brotherhood of Blades,' and you're my idol!!"

Even the usually aloof Zhang Zheng and Wang Qianyuan were now as reserved as children, standing there with expressions of admiration as they greeted them.

This is an 'Ancient True God'!

From eighty-year-old grandfathers to teenagers, who hasn't seen his films?

"Brotherhood of Blades? Oh, so you directed it. I've seen it; it's very good."

Uncle Long was surprised, but then smiled and shook Lu Yang's hand, patting him on the shoulder with satisfaction. "Not only is the fighting exciting, but it also promotes traditional culture. It's very well done. Our country's things are no worse than those foreign things."

"Blindly pursuing and pandering to Western-style films doesn't make a good film. Only the martial arts films you make are something that truly belongs to us and can reach the world!"

He spent countless years working to revive kung fu movies, making them the only Chinese-language film to face the world.

Unfortunately, there was no one to carry on the tradition.

"Brother Chen Long, I will definitely continue to work hard!"

Lu Yang's eyes reddened; he couldn't contain his excitement at his idol's encouragement.

"I remember the person who went to CCTV for promotion last time wasn't a young person?"

"Is he here?"

Uncle Long suddenly asked.

"Here they come, here they are."

"Little brother, your older brother is looking for you."

Lu Yang, Zhang Zheng, and the others quickly moved aside.

"Young man..."

Uncle Long was about to greet him with a smile when he suddenly noticed Gu Qing's unusual Zhongshan suit. He paused, looked her up and down, and his smile deepened.
"Young man, what's your name?"
