Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow
Chapter 147 Kun Ge's Curse Takes Effect! The youngest Best Actress at the Huading Awards, Cun H
Chapter 147 Kun Ge's Curse Takes Effect! The youngest Best Actress at the Huading Awards, Cun Huang!
"Brother Xiaochuan, the organizers of the Huading Awards are asking if you have time to go and collect your award?"
Just as Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Ruonan were in Montreal, carrying out their grand plan to expand their family line, Wu Jing made an overseas call.
This brought good news to Lu Yunzhou.
"Not interested."
Lu Yunzhou refused without even thinking.
What kind of lousy award is this?
I can't seem to get any rewards.
The system does not recognize these domestic awards at all.
Lu Yunzhou no longer needs awards to enhance his standing in the martial arts world.
"Brother Xiaochuan, I understand your thoughts. However, even if you're not interested in the Best Director award, could you at least think of Liu Haocun for her? The organizers have reserved a Best Actress award for her."
"Best Actress in a Film at the Age of 17"
"Liu Haocun essentially climbed to fame by stepping on Zhang Ziyi. If you help her make a few more movies, she can be nicknamed 'International Liu Haocun' from now on!"
In 1998, Zhang Ziyi won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress for her role as Zhao Di in "My Father and Mother".
In 1999, Zhang Ziyi played Yu Jiaolong in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and she won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress, which established her status as "International Zhang"!
Zhang Ziyi was born in 1979.
In other words, at the age of 20, Zhang Ziyi had already reached the pinnacle of Chinese actresses.
During the golden 20 years of Chinese cinema, no actress in China has been able to reach the heights of Zhang Ziyi in her acting career.
Needless to say, its international reputation is unparalleled.
Now, Lu Yunzhou has personally brought Liu Haocun to prominence.
He helped Liu Haocun win the Huading Award for Best Actress at the age of 17, thus launching her acting career as "Empress Cun"!
This will definitely leave a significant mark on the history of Chinese cinema.
-
It has to be said that Wu Jing understands Lu Yunzhou's mindset very well.
If it were just an ordinary award, Lu Yunzhou might not care much—but this is a record-breaking event, an opportunity to make history, so of course Lu Yunzhou would take it very seriously.
Regardless, Liu Haocun is his little darling.
"Little Boat Bro, what was the name of the movie that won Zhang Ziyi Best Actress back then? 'The Road Home,' and what was the name of the character she played?"
"Zhao Di!"
"What a beautiful blessing!"
Wu Jing knew exactly what Lu Yunzhou cared about most right now.
Status in the industry — Although he didn't win the Golden Rooster Award, Lu Yunzhou didn't care about such a small award.
Wealth — Lu Yunzhou has at least tens of billions, and that's a conservative estimate. If valued like stocks, Lu Yunzhou's family company would be worth at least 500 billion once it goes public.
International renown—the contemporary Leonardo da Vinci; this title alone is enough for Lu Yunzhou to sweep the world.
After all these years, Lu Yunzhou has everything except a son.
"Zhao Di, oh—"
Wu Jing kept repeating the name of the character Zhang Ziyi.
Liu Haocun will soon be able to step on Zhang Ziyi to rise to power, and might even be able to bring Lu Yunzhou a son. What are you waiting for?
"Alright, I'll give you face. Come witness you winning Best Actor."
Lu Yunzhou didn't want to go because, according to the original story, Wu Jing would have won all the major awards with "Wolf Warrior 2".
As for Best Actress, it was awarded to Ruby Lin for her role in "The Devotion of Suspect X"!
But to be fair, Liu Haocun's performance in "Dreston's Fairy Castle" was excellent, much better than Ruby Lin's!
After all, Liu Haocun was his trump card.
Even to avoid ruining his trump card, Lu Yunzhou stubbornly resisted the urge to drink Liu Haocun's tea.
I'm afraid that after Liu Haocun becomes his concubine, her mentality will become completely distorted, she won't want to act properly anymore, and she'll only think about having a son for him all day long, engaging in palace intrigue and suppressing the harem.
This is not what he wanted to see.
Once things turn out that way, finding another actress with Liu Haocun's level of acting skills in a short period of time would be harder than climbing to heaven.
"Xiao Nan, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Macau in a couple of days."
After finishing his call with Wu Jing, Lu Yunzhou looked at Zhang Ruonan apologetically.
Having a child requires the joint effort of both partners.
It was very wrong of him to run away halfway.
"Brother, I heard you all. Let's go get Zhao Di's lucky charm back."
Zhang Ruonan was very supportive of this.
She looked at Lu Yunzhou, then suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "Brother, back then, Mom joked with me, asking what I would do if my first child was a daughter? I said, I would name her Zhaodi."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou frowned and said with disdain, "That name is too rustic. My daughter absolutely cannot have that name. I can't bear the embarrassment."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan laughed and said, "My mother also said it's a bit old-fashioned. It's not common to call someone Zhaodi anymore. She said it would sound better to call her Ziyi."
What?
Ziyi.
At that moment, Lu Yunzhou seemed to understand something.
So, he has to step over Zhang Ziyi to rise to power in order to receive blessings, is that what you mean?
Because, according to his mother's naming method, Zhang Ruonan shouldn't be called Zhang Ruonan; he should be called Zhang Ziyi.
It seemed as if everything was ordained by fate.
Lu Yunzhou felt that he had grasped a key element.
"OK!"
"Then I'll go to Macau and break Zhao Di's record!"
Zhang Ziyi was destined to be called Zhaodi; what a damned, ill-fated relationship.
Lu Yunzhou still believed in this kind of metaphysics, after all, he even had a system within him.
A week later.
Huading Awards Film Awards Ceremony.
There are two Huading Awards this year: a film awards ceremony in the first half of the year and a television drama awards ceremony in the second half.
"The Fairy Castle of Dresden" swept the world at the box office last October, grossing $1 billion and becoming one of the benchmarks for domestic films.
Especially in the category of fantasy visual blockbusters, Lu Yunzhou, through his own efforts, has forcibly elevated this genre to a historic level.
Apart from him, no other director has made a film on this subject.
This makes him stand out so much in the entire Chinese-language film industry.
Macao.
Inside the hotel room.
The awards ceremony is tomorrow night, so Lu Yunzhou is arriving a day early to rest a bit and adjust to the time difference.
Liu Haocun arrived a day earlier than him, coming directly from Yanjing.
"Big brother, you look much better lately, and your smile is more gentle. You don't look like you've lost all your money gambling every day on set."
Liu Haocun, wearing hotel slippers, slid his long legs back and forth in front of Lu Yunzhou like a compass.
"When filming on set, I'm the boss, so of course I have to keep a straight face."
Lu Yunzhou lay on the sofa with his arms outstretched.
Liu Haocun leaned closer, lay down on Lu Yunzhou's left arm, and wrapped his arms around Lu Yunzhou's neck.
"You're holding me so tight, are you trying to strangle me?"
Lu Yunzhou removed Liu Haocun's hand from his neck, turned his head and asked, "Best Actress at the Huading Awards, are you confident?"
It doesn't matter to Lu Yunzhou whether he wins the award or not; he just has to come and witness Liu Haocun receiving the award, to crush Zhang Ziyi, and to bring Zhao Di's good fortune home.
"Brother, you should have said, 'If not me, then who?'"
Liu Haocun snorted, stood up to pour Lu Yunzhou a cup of tea, and asked with a smile, "Brother, if I lose to Lin Xinru, does that prove that this award is also rigged and has no fairness whatsoever?"
The Golden Rooster Awards' decision not to award the prize to Lu Yunzhou last year has already caused a huge controversy—but the Golden Rooster Awards judges also had their own reasons.
"The Speeding Racer" is a racing action movie, and for this kind of movie to win an award goes against the artistic merit of the Golden Rooster Awards.
But now, Wolf Warrior 2 has won a lot of awards.
From a technical and aesthetic point of view, in what way did "Crazy Racing" lose to "Wolf Warrior 2"?
Dresden Fairy Castle is full of artistic flair and has a very distinctive personal style.
Why can't they win an award?
"Big brother, I won Best Actress, which means I can get more endorsement contracts. I estimate I can earn another twenty or thirty million."
"After I go back, I will buy a house in Jinmao Mansion."
"Next time you come to Yanjing, you don't need to stay in a hotel; you can stay at my house."
Liu Haocun speaks without any restraint now, like a starving disaster victim who can't wait to have porridge tonight.
It's all Tian Xiwei's fault. She agreed to fair competition but cheated. Since that's the case, we can't blame her for breaking the rules of the game.
"Xiao Cun, didn't I tell you? Don't buy a house in the next two years, it's easy to get trapped at a high price."
Lu Yunzhou shook his head slightly, seemingly disapproving of Liu Haocun buying a house.
In 2018, housing prices in Yanjing were already very high, and there has been no further increase since then.
Buying a house in this era is like going all in at the peak, losing everything in one go, which can easily distort the mindset of young Liu Haocun.
"Brother, I know that housing prices in Yanjing are a bit inflated. But I want to give you a warm home."
"I don't want you to stay in a cold, impersonal hotel every time you come to Yanjing."
But Liu Haocun didn't care about any of that. In short, he was determined to buy a house, and it had to be a luxury house.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
Lu Yunzhou thought to himself that although buying a house wouldn't make him money, he wouldn't lose much either, especially houses in downtown Yanjing. Even if the price dropped slightly, it would still rise again in the future.
It's better than making random investments.
Since that's the case, I didn't try to persuade you any further. Instead, I turned around and asked, "Do you have enough money? If not, I can lend you some. I won't charge you interest."
"That's enough, that's enough."
Liu Haocun smiled warmly, clearly delighted: "Brother, I've known you for so long, and you never do business at a loss. Now you're even lending me money without interest—you've suppressed your businessman's nature! How can you be so good to me?"
"I'll give you a surprise after I buy a house."
Liu Haocun didn't tell Lu Yunzhou that she had chosen a house in a superb location after much deliberation. It was on the same floor as Yang Mi's house and right across from it.
Yang Mi can see what's going on in Liu Haocun's house as soon as she draws the curtains.
"I don't want surprises. What I fear most right now is surprises."
Lu Yunzhou slowly shook his head.
It's okay this year during the Lunar New Year.
But next year during the Lunar New Year—because of something, I estimate I'll have to stay home and won't be able to go out for a whole month.
With so many people in the family, they'll drive him crazy.
No.
He had to pull back from the brink.
"Knock knock".
"Yunzhou, are you there?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, along with a soft voice.
It sounds very familiar.
Seeing this, Liu Haocun glanced at Lu Yunzhou silently, and then went to open the door.
Outside the door, Nazha, with her hair neatly tied in a bun, perfume on, and wearing high heels that showed off her long legs, was leaning against the doorway with a smile, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand.
"Sixth brother?"
However, when the door opened, she saw Liu Haocun instead of Lu Yunzhou, whom she had imagined. Nazha's smile vanished instantly, and she frowned.
Liu Haocun took a deep breath and retorted, "I'm not 18 yet, I'm not old."
"So, shall I call you Xiao Liu?"
Xiao Liu and Xiao Liu are not much different.
As someone from Northwest China and a member of an ethnic minority, it's normal for Nazha to have a slight accent.
Liu Haocun was too lazy to waste words with Nazha. At this moment, he stood like a super goalkeeper, blocking the entrance. No matter how Nazha dodged left or right, she couldn't get in.
Naza looked at Liu Haocun speechlessly: "Xiao Liu, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Move aside. How am I supposed to get in if you don't move?"
Liu Haocun slowly shook his head and said seriously, "Sister Zha, it's the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone, and you've brought a bottle of wine. Isn't that a bit inconvenient?"
"What's inconvenient?"
Naza gently patted Liu Haocun's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't call me Sister Naza anymore, it's too formal. Just call me Sister Naza."
Big idiot!
She doesn't even know who the fourth sister is, yet she calls herself the fourth sister?
They were completely fooled by Tian Xiwei; it's truly pathetic.
Liu Haocun couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.
"Xiao Cun, stop joking with Nazha, let her in."
Lu Yunzhou was speechless when he saw the two of them chatting right at the door.
Although this hotel is relatively safe, it can still be seen by other people.
At that time, rumors will circulate that Nazha and Liu Hao had a fight in the hotel—as for why they fought?
It's possible that the two had a falling out during the filming of "Fairy Castle 2".
"Yunzhou, you're so biased! You called Lao Liu over to keep you company, but you didn't come to see me?"
After Naza walked in, she glanced at Lu Yunzhou and said with a hint of resentment, "I admit that Lao Liu has some talent, especially in filmmaking, he is indeed better than me. But I made you a lot of money at Milan Fashion Week two months ago."
Naza's subtext was that Lu Yunzhou had to treat everyone equally. Otherwise, she would be unhappy.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou gave Nazha a thumbs up: "As expected of the fashion queen in my heart."
After offering a few words of praise, Lu Yunzhou admitted that he had been somewhat negligent: "Recently, I've been busy with other things. I haven't paid much attention to Kou Rui."
"After I return from Canada, I'll treat you to a proper meal to thank you for everything you've done for our family."
Hearing Lu Yunzhou's sincere praise, Nazha gently raised her neck, closed her eyes slightly, and thoroughly enjoyed this moment in the spotlight.
However, Nazha was a little unhappy when Lu Yunzhou used the phrase "our family" in his words: "What do you mean I've contributed to your family? I have a share in this family too."
What a big idiot!
Naza is really deluding herself.
Upon hearing this, Liu Haocun, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but want to tell Nazha the truth, to let her know that she had been fooled by Tian Xiwei.
Lu Yunzhou didn't dwell on the topic, and said with a smile, "Nazha, I forgot to congratulate you, didn't you win the Best Improvement Award at the Huading Awards this year?"
Gulnazar has been nominated for Most Breakthrough Actress of the Year!
This kind of award is no different from the Most Improved Person Award. As long as you start from a low point and perform well, you can win it.
Especially in cases like Nazha, who has a high level of national recognition but is generally considered to have very poor acting skills, the judges would give her the award if she played a normal role.
"hey-hey."
Upon hearing this, Nazha immediately laughed and raised an eyebrow at Lu Yunzhou: "Tomorrow night, do you want to walk the red carpet with me? I've seen it all, and I'm the most beautiful and you're the most handsome. We're the perfect couple, and we'll be the grand finale tomorrow night, making the whole audience cheer for us!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Haocun couldn't help but retort: "You two are a perfect couple, so what am I? A carp spirit in the pond of the Purple Bamboo Forest?"
"Thank you for the invitation. However, Nazha, you're already a veteran of award ceremonies, you don't need me to guide you."
"This award is very important to Xiaocun, as she is the female lead in my film. As the director, I have to take full responsibility for her."
If it were any other red carpet ceremony, and Nazha brought it up herself, Lu Yunzhou would definitely give her face.
But this time is different.
This is a milestone night in Liu Haocun's career, and Lu Yunzhou will definitely stay by Liu Haocun's side the whole time; that's the rule in the underworld.
"But I want to walk down the aisle with you, arm in arm, watching the petals fall from the sky—I've heard that the red carpet ceremony tomorrow night will be very beautiful."
Naza wants to experience some open and romantic moments with Lu Yunzhou.
She's actually the kind of person who can't help but want to show off her relationship.
I just want to see the whole internet envying, jealous, and hating her.
"Sister Zha, let's chat for a bit."
Seeing that Nazha still wanted to persuade Lu Yunzhou to change his mind, Liu Haocun stood up, pulled Nazha aside, and played his trump card.
"Sister Zha, do you know Jinmao Mansion? I plan to place an order as soon as I get back after this red carpet ceremony."
"I want to give my older brother a warm home."
"Whether I can earn an extra 2000 million yuan by winning the Best Actress award at the Huading Awards, this red carpet ceremony is definitely a bonus — if you dare to ruin my plans, I'll tell you something that will hurt my feelings."
"It's incredibly heartbreaking. I was afraid you couldn't handle it, so I kept it from you. Please don't force me to take this step."
Naza is still dreaming, thinking she's the fourth child.
After all, Lu Yunzhou had just spent 2 million euros to acquire a stake in Kiko Beauty, becoming its controlling shareholder.
Kiko's official Chinese Weibo account posts pictures of lipsticks daily on their website; their marketing is already very effective. Now we're just waiting for "Queen of Tears."
After the broadcast, Wang Churan was asked to promote the products.
At Tian Xiwei's strong suggestion, Wang Ran has become Kiko's spokesperson.
Because of this, Wang Ran and Tian Xiwei became good friends again.
However, Liu Haocun knew the truth, but Nazha did not.
In Liu Haocun's opinion, Nazha's attentive behavior today was probably because she wanted to ask Lu Yunzhou when she could become Kiko's boss.
After all, this is the rule in Lu Yunzhou's family.
"Something particularly hurtful? Wait, I think I know what you're trying to say. Don't say it."
"I was wrong, Sixth Brother."
"I'll step back and let Yunzhou walk the red carpet with you."
Naza suddenly remembered something very sad.
Although she is beautiful, she is a soulless actress—her acting skills are terrible.
Lu Yunzhou, being a film director, naturally prefers actresses with a natural talent, and Liu Haocun was his muse.
She can't do it.
All I can do is help Lu Yunzhou walk the runway at fashion shows.
"Xiao Cun, it's getting late, you should go and get some rest."
Lu Yunzhou didn't know what Liu Haocun said to Nazha. After he finished speaking, Nazha looked completely dejected, like a withered rose that had lost its luster.
"oh."
Liu Haocun glanced at Nazha, smiled gently, and waved to Lu Yunzhou: "Big brother, you should get some rest too."
After saying that, Liu Haocun turned and left.
Only Lu Yunzhou and Nazha remained in the room.
Lu Yunzhou walked over and gently pinched Nazha's cheek: "It's just that I'm not walking the red carpet with you. Is it really that big of a deal that you're giving me attitude? It can't be that bad."
"Actually, I'm not the fourth child, right?"
Naza wasn't completely stupid; she clearly realized something at this moment, and looked at Lu Yunzhou with a wronged expression: "Fourth brother, is it Tian Xiwei? She even changed her WeChat name to 'No Idle Fields Across the Four Seas.' I should have guessed it sooner."
Lu Yunzhou nodded slightly; there was nothing to hide.
Naza will find out sooner or later.
Moreover, the longer she knows, the greater the harm—not just to her physical and mental well-being, but to the humiliating damage to her intelligence.
"I treated Xiaotian like a best friend, but she treated me like a fool and lied to me, saying I was the fourth one. I was happy about it for a long time."
"I even filmed several short videos to share with everyone how good Kiko's mascara and lipstick are."
Looking back now, I realize how ridiculous I was.
"You're all treating me like a fool."
As Nazha spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
It's all my fault for being useless.
"No way! I've never lied to you. But did you really film a lot of short videos? Where are they? I want to go watch them."
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but chuckle as he imagined Nazha's enthusiastic performance ultimately benefiting Tian Xiwei.
At this moment, Lu Yunzhou made a few jokes, but saw that Nazha wouldn't listen at all.
He stepped forward, put his arm around Nazha, and comforted her, saying, "Do you know how risky it is to be my legal representative?"
"In case my business fails and I have to run away, the legal representative has to cover my losses—the beauty business is very difficult, and Kiko is almost losing money in Italy. Otherwise, would the Percassi family have sold it to me?"
"If you're prepared, if my business fails and I choose to run away, are you willing to cover my losses and even earn money yourself to pay off my debts? Think about it, it's very hard. I wouldn't want you to suffer like that."
Lu Yunzhou spoke very eloquently.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Nazha couldn't even transform into an action star, let alone earn money to help him pay off his debts.
After all, Nazha isn't really love-obsessed.
She's actually quite shrewd in this regard; she likes to date rich second-generation heirs.
Lu Yunzhou is simply the most handsome among the rich second-generation heirs. He is also talented and can take Nazha to Milan Fashion Week, bringing her a lot of fashion resources.
It's simply a matter of each getting what they need.
Of all these people, only Zhang Ruonan was mentally prepared.
Wang Churan's family is in business and they are aware of the risks involved, but they are still willing to be Lu Yunzhou's legal representative, which shows that they are well prepared.
These two are completely tied to him.
Therefore, Lu Yunzhou doted on the two of them the most.
Even when Wang Ran occasionally acts willfully, Lu Yunzhou doesn't take it seriously and might even find her adorable.
Tian Xiwei didn't care.
Anyway, she had nothing to lose. Everything she had now was earned for her by Lu Yunzhou.
But Nazha is different.
Before she met Lu Yunzhou, she had everything, so naturally she would weigh the pros and cons in her mind.
Originally, this wasn't really a flaw.
It's only human nature.
However, with Zhang Ruonan, Wang Ran, and Tian Xiwei as comparisons, the gap immediately became apparent.
This is why Nazha is only an outer disciple.
"Yunzhou, actually, I'm willing too."
Naza looked at Lu Yunzhou and said hesitantly, "You're so shrewd, how could the company possibly go bankrupt? Besides, before it went bankrupt, you would definitely have notified me to run away together. Why would you leave me here to take the blame for you? You're not that kind of heartless person."
"You're really smart. I really can't bear to part with it."
Lu Yunzhou laughed and pinched Nazha's cheek.
Naza looked up, kissed Lu Yunzhou, and stopped mentioning the unpleasant things from earlier. Instead, she asked eagerly, "Would you like me to stay with you tonight? You haven't come to see me much in the past six months. I miss you so much."
"There are too many people around, maybe next time."
Lu Yunzhou gently touched Nazha's hair and saw her out.
"All right."
Naza was a little disappointed, feeling as if she had lost something important.
Before parting, Lu Yunzhou thought for a moment and said, "The Cannes Film Festival, did they invite you? At the end of June, I'm a jury member at the Munich Film Festival. Would you like to walk the red carpet again?"
Upon hearing this, Nazha smiled and said, "I never have too many red carpet events. Thank you, my great director!"
Not long after Nazha left, Liu Haocun knocked on the door again.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Yunzhou opened the door and stretched: "Get to the point, I'm about to go to sleep."
Liu Hao circled Lu Yunzhou's room, but didn't find Nazha. He snorted and said, "Big brother, did you give her some kind of pie again?"
"She's a wolf from the Northwest, impossible to tame. When you don't have enough food, she won't wag her tail at you anymore; instead, she'll turn around and bite you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou immediately went up and tapped Liu Haocun on the head: "You still have the nerve to talk about Nazha? I heard your nickname is Northeast Tiger? But I haven't seen you bite me."
"What Siberian tiger?"
Liu Haocun stretched out a small paw and waved it in front of Lu Yunzhou, grinning, "I'm so cute, I'm at most a Northeast Golden Shaded. Even if I bared my teeth and claws, I couldn't hurt anyone. Besides, I'm not a greedy person, I have a small appetite, I'm full after eating just a little bit."
"You're the cutest."
Lu Yunzhou laughed, turned around, stretched, yawned, and said, "Xiao Cun, I'm a little tired."
You should go home and get some rest too. Get plenty of energy so you can wow the Huading Awards tomorrow night and become the youngest Huading Award Best Actress.
After saying this, Lu Yunzhou turned to ask, "Xiao Cun, do you know who the youngest Best Actress in the history of the Huading Awards is?"
Liu Haocun nodded slightly: "She won the Huading Award for Best Actress in a Film at the age of 31."
Winning Best Actress in a film at the age of 31 is already quite an achievement.
"Good to know. You're even more capable than her—your future is limitless."
Lu Yunzhou poured Liu Haocun a glass of milk using the hotel's luxurious glass, and couldn't help but utter that mysterious incantation: "Let's drink from this golden cup together—"
Upon hearing this, Liu Haocun became quite excited, his eyes shining as he looked at Lu Yunzhou, and he said sincerely, "—No mercy will be shown to those with bare hands."
:
After they finished speaking, the two drank the milk together.
It's like swearing a blood oath.
Liu Haocun likes this sense of ritual.
The following evening.
Huading Awards red carpet ceremony.
Lu Yunzhou made a dazzling entrance, arm in arm with Liu Haocun, who was wearing a little black dress by Kou Rui and LDC gold earrings.
The scene was dazzling with flashes from the cameras.
She was twice as bright as when Gulnazar walked the red carpet before.
-
Although Liu Haocun is not as pretty as Gulnazar, when a woman walks the red carpet, the most dazzling thing is not the luxury goods she wears, nor how beautiful she is, but who the man next to her is.
A billion-dollar movie director!
Borsalino, LDC, Kou Rui, and KIKO — the behind-the-scenes owners of four luxury beauty and fashion companies!
Lu Yunzhou has finally become a true luxury man in the Chinese entertainment industry.
A money printing machine that breathes.
When Liu Haocun walked out arm in arm with Lu Yunzhou, almost all the media reporters and guests at the banquet knew that she was the leading lady of the night.
"Big brother, I like this feeling of being the center of attention."
At 17, Liu Haocun, working with Lu Yunzhou, is not yet world-renowned—but at least in China, she has already joined the ranks of top-tier actresses.
So what if she's as beautiful as Gulnazar? She's still shorter than her.
Because Nazha didn't dare to go all in.
Despite Lu Yunzhou giving Nazha several chances, Nazha always hesitated, which greatly disappointed Lu Yunzhou.
Sure enough, older people always look ahead and behind.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl like her is fearless and can utter all sorts of vows, such as sharing life and death or going through fire and water.
Moreover, they are all sincere and without any ulterior motives.
Naza would never say something like that.
"Best Actor in a Film at the 23rd Huading Awards — Wu Jing, *Wolf Warrior 2*!"
"The Best Director of the Film at the 23rd Huading Awards—Lu Yunzhou, for *The Fairy Castle of Dresden*!"
"Best Actress in a Film at the 23rd Huading Awards — Liu Haocun, for *The Fairy Castle of Dresden*!"
There were no surprises this time.
Lu Yunzhou won the Best Director award.
Liu Haocun won Best Actress!
-
-
After the awards ceremony, various social media platforms and entertainment gossip bloggers frantically announced the news.
Lu Yunzhou wins Best Director! Well deserved!
Liu Haocun wins Best Actress! At 17, she breaks the age record for Best Actress at the Huading Awards!
Before Liu Haocun, the youngest winner of the Huading Award for Best Actress was Fan, who was 31 years old when she won the award!
Liu Haocun won the award at the age of 17!
As an actor, Liu Haocun's personal achievements, under Lu Yunzhou's guidance, are approaching those of Zhang Ziyi!
Another international award.
Liu Haocun could then refer to himself as Emperor Cun.
Meanwhile, in the final scene of "The Fairy Castle of Dresden," Lu Yunzhou falls off a cliff and automatically chooses to sacrifice himself, sealing the abyss.
The female lead, Liu Haocun, conveyed unparalleled pain, loneliness, heartbreak, and constant reminiscence of the past through her constantly shifting eyes—this 10-second scene was repeatedly edited and circulated online by netizens.
"Save 10 seconds of footage of the Emperor's investiture as a god!"
"She was crowned Empress at 17, unparalleled in the world!"
"A comparison of acting skills between Zhang Ziyi and Liu Haocun in their debut works — After comparison, Liu Haocun is better!"
'
As soon as the idea started to emerge online, Lu Yunzhou's company's publicity department began to frantically stir up trouble, marketing Liu Haocun as having unparalleled acting skills.
With "Dressden: The Fairy Tale Castle" grossing over $10 billion, at least for the past few days, netizens have been unable to question it.
If a movie does well, the actors' performances must be excellent.
In addition, the ending of this movie is truly heartbreaking.
As a behind-the-scenes staff member, Lu Yunzhou would never steal Liu Haocun's spotlight moment—as long as Lu Yunzhou doesn't steal it, this spotlight moment belongs to Liu Haocun!
Even though the Huading Awards isn't particularly well-known among domestic film festivals.
However, thanks to the company's aggressive promotion, Liu Haocun's status rose steadily.
It's only natural for a 40-year-old actress to win Best Actress.
And a 17-year-old rising star actress, who starred in a visually stunning blockbuster, won the Best Actress award—
That was tantamount to dropping a bombshell in the domestic film and television industry.
Even the ripples caused by this depth charge can reach across the ocean.
Not long after the awards ceremony ended.
Liu Haocun's fashion resources began to explode in large numbers.
In the following two months, they directly secured deals with three major international brands.
In May, Liu Haocun even made it into the top 10 of the 2018 Forbes China Celebrity List, the list of female celebrities!
In addition, Liu Haocun was invited to attend the Cannes Film Festival, walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony, and served as Cartier's Asia-Pacific regional ambassador.
Meanwhile, Liu Haocun received the "International Artist of the Year" award from The Hollywood Reporter in Cannes.
In May, someone got into trouble.
The issue of dual contracts—those who know, know.
One stone caused a thousand waves!
The entertainment industry has undergone a major transformation!
The film and television industry has been greatly affected and questioned by the capital market—the chain reaction brought about by this event is greater than anyone imagined.
The valuation of the film and television industry needs to be re-evaluated.
It should be cut in half at least!
[Rival Group]
"I just became the youngest Best Actress at the Huading Awards, and the previous youngest Best Actress award went straight to the ground."
97
"There is no way such a coincidence could happen in the world."
"My older brother must have done it for me!"
Liu Haocun felt a little dizzy at this moment, as if she had eaten honey, so sweet that she lost her senses.
This is love!
The battle between the Northwest Wolf and the Northeast Tiger has come to an end.
The Siberian tiger won decisively!
After all, how can a wolf from the Northwest fight a tiger from the Northeast?
According to a zoologist's verification, in the wild, a wolf pack would have a very difficult time defeating a Siberian tiger. Even disregarding casualties, it would take at least 12 adult wolves to defeat a single adult Siberian tiger!
Liu Haocun felt that as a Siberian tiger, even if he had not yet reached his peak, he was not someone that Nazha, a sickly wolf, could defeat.
Adding Dilraba Dilmurat didn't help.
We need to add a few more.
"Grandma Liu, you're overthinking it, aren't you?"
"My brother did it for me—I'm so sick of the seaweed rice rolls that Big White Goose and I make every day."
"Now that his sister is in trouble, he's like he's been castrated."
-
"It can no longer cause any waves."
Cai Xukun was joking; he just couldn't stand seeing Liu Haocun's love-struck mind acting up.
Lu Yunzhou took it as a joke. How could someone deliberately mess with someone over such a trivial matter?
Besides, the white goose didn't do anything bad except create a CP (couple pairing) with me.
These past few days, Cai Xukun and Meng Ziyi have been whispering to each other, both wanting to ask Fan Chenchen what exactly is going on.
However, such behavior was tantamount to rubbing salt into Fan Chenchen's wounds, and the two of them were still very polite, refraining from asking any questions.
On set, Cai Xukun and Meng Ziyi exchanged cryptic glances every day, unable to discuss this in front of Fan Chenchen, and were nearly driven crazy by their own pent-up frustration!
Just then, Zhang Jingyi messaged Cai Xukun privately: "Brother Kun, your curse is amazing! You cursed her to have her house collapse, and it really did!"
Cai Xukun wondered to himself, when did he learn about curses?
I was just kidding.
Who knew that her luck would be so bad, and something bad happened to her all at once.
Moreover, this time things have gotten quite serious. Fan Chenchen is looking gloomy all day on set and doesn't even have the energy to argue with me anymore.
However, after that incident, the ceiling for female celebrities disappeared.
As for the remaining group, Cai Xukun walked around in a circle —
They have no good looks, no good figure, and no acting skills—it's like everyone becomes a war god after Lu Bu's death.
Before Lü Bu died, no one dared to utter a sound.
This is the current state of female celebrities in the entertainment industry.
"Brother Kun, do you remember—you cursed two people back then? One of them is now crippled. As for the other, keep casting your spells and make her collapse as soon as possible."
Zhang Jingyi kept hinting to Cai Xukun, urging him to continue unleashing the power of his curse.
Dilraba was criticized for looking like a man after filming "The Flame's Daughter," and her acting skills have been ruined, but she is not completely finished yet.
Kun Ge still needs to work harder.
"Jingjing, leave it to me!"
Cai Xukun laughed and joked with Zhang Jingyi, "If I were Dilraba, there would only be one way to prove I'm not a man—that is to get pregnant and create a scandal about running away with the baby."
"Once the fans have been thoroughly annoyed, I'll say that I was filming during that time and that all the online hype was fake."
The two were chatting casually.
Suddenly, Cai Xukun noticed that Lu Yunzhou was sending out red envelopes like crazy in many group chats.
It's not a matter of sending hundreds at a time.
It's ten thousand at a time!
Before long, millions had been spent.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you doing something so irrational? It's pure cash, why are you giving it out to everyone to collect red envelopes?"
In Cai Xukun's eyes, Lu Yunzhou had always been a very rational person.
Even when his movie grossed over 10 billion US dollars, he only gave out a few tens of thousands of yuan in red envelopes. But today, he gave out at least a million yuan in red envelopes.
Send it to every group.
Cai Xukun and Lu Yunzhou were in about five or six groups together. He casually collected a few red envelopes, which added up to almost a thousand yuan.
Lu Yunzhou laughed and quickly replied, "Xiao Nan is pregnant, I'm going to be a dad—you're going to be an uncle too."
"
Even through the phone screen, Cai Xukun could feel how happy Lu Yunzhou was at that moment.
Lu Yunzhou had no reason to hide such a joyous occasion.
He wanted to tell everyone around him.
After helping Liu Haocun win the Best Actress award, and using Zhang Ziyi's role as "Zhao Di" to climb to the top, Zhang Ruonan found out she was pregnant not long after returning home.
Lu Yunzhou was overjoyed and stopped going to work, spending all his time at home with Zhang Ruonan.
Meanwhile, his parents flew to Canada overnight, even bringing their nanny with them, clearly indicating their intention to stay in Canada long-term.
"Congratulations, brother! Congratulations, sister-in-law!"
Zhang Ruonan was his true sister-in-law, helping Lu Yunzhou manage all kinds of businesses in an orderly manner, and Cai Xukun was naturally happy for Zhang Ruonan.
But here's the problem—
How could he help Lu Yunzhou stay calm among the people in the group?
The premise for a game to continue playing is that its balance cannot be broken.
But now, the balance has been broken.
When Wang Ran finds out about this, won't he go crazy on the spot?
