Chapter 135 is very empty [VIP]

Chapter Summary: Still detached from this world

There are three authoritative film awards in China: the Golden Horn Award, the Golden Crane Award, and the Golden Dragon Award.

The first two awards are held annually, while the Golden Dragon Award is held biennially.

Mu Zhi's film "Countdown" was released in August. The Golden Horn Awards are awards presented in the middle of the year and are not in this year's award period. They are eligible for next year's awards.

The Golden Dragon Awards are held every two years, and the awards will be presented next year.

The Golden Crane Awards releases its nomination list every October, and "Countdown" happens to be in the award period, so as long as the film company registers the actors for the nomination.

Once the nomination list for the Golden Crane Award is released, Mu Zhi will have a chance to be nominated.

Once Minmin started this conversation, the other staff members enthusiastically joined in.

Assistant Xiaoling: "Sister Zhi won the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Horn Awards last year. Romance films, suspense films, and art films are the genres that are easy to win at the Golden Horn Awards, and there are many young actors who are nominated and win awards. We all think that Sister Zhi will win the Best Actress Award again next year for 'Countdown'. The chances are very high."

Makeup artist: "Now that I think about it, maybe I could get a Golden Crane Award nomination first?"

The male assistant nodded in agreement: "Countdown is a road trip romance film, which can also be considered an art film. Art films are more likely to win awards, and Countdown was a box office and critical success."

"It would be perfectly normal for Sister Mu to be nominated for the Golden Crane Award; I think she has a very good chance of winning Best Actress as well."

Several people nodded in agreement, unanimously betting that Mu Zhi would receive a Golden Crane Award nomination for Best Actress.

Minmin: "Sister Zhizhi, what do you think?"

Inside the car, Mu Zhi listened to the staff's chatter: "I think... we'll know once the Golden Crane Award nominations are released."

Others: "......" That makes sense.

A few days later, director Hong Yan's new play "Claws and Teeth" held a script reading session in Beicheng.

Tai Feng, Mu Zhi, and many other familiar faces who have appeared in classic martial arts dramas/movies, including big-name actors who have played roles that audiences still remember vividly, all attended the film's reading session.

Martial arts films are expensive to make, and with the addition of many big names, it's easy to imagine that this movie had a huge budget.

Mu Zhi: ? The two movies you filmed back-to-back both had substantial budgets.

Following the script reading, several big-name actors with action scenes also underwent martial arts training beforehand...

October 22nd is the day the nomination list for the Golden Crane Award is announced.

Mu Zhi arrived at the venue as usual to conduct martial arts training.

There are only 4 days left before filming begins and training ends.

For more than half a month, they trained hard for nearly 10 hours a day.

Under Master Yuanhao's martial arts guidance, Mu Zhi has mastered the moves of several fight scenes, and her fight scenes with other actors and martial arts personnel are becoming more and more impressive.

The main weapon of the character is a sword. Mu Zhi wields the sword with one hand, and can perform beautiful sword tricks with the rotation of her wrist, showing great skill.

There were also several special moves he practiced while suspended by wires in the stadium. At the beginning, he was unsteady and spread his arms like a fleeing goose, repeatedly falling to his knees on the floor, which was extremely embarrassing and left his knees covered in bruises.

Now, a series of wire stunts can be performed with incredible smoothness...

Master Yuanhao and his disciples all praised Muzhi for being intelligent and quick to learn.

Tai Feng had fewer action scenes than Mu Zhi, and he didn't come over every day.

I've had some things to take care of at home these past few days, so Tai Feng's last visit was a few days ago. When he came over today and saw Mu Zhi's training results, which showed great improvement, he couldn't help but show some appreciation in his eyes.

When Mu Zhi puts her whole heart into doing something, she is so focused that she seems to be shining, as if she has become isolated from the outside world.

It also makes people believe that whatever she wants to achieve, she can achieve.

"Teacher Mu, the whole set of moves was correct just now, and the explosive power this time was quite good."

"Take a 10-minute break, then we'll continue."

"Okay, thank you, Master Yuan."

In the first few days of training, Mu Zhi's whole body ached, and she could barely lift her arms. It took even more physical effort than when she practiced dancing for a talent show.

Now, after more than half a month, I've gradually gotten used to this intensity.

However, Mu Zhi didn't sweat much when filming outdoor scenes with Bian Wu in the green screen studio and in the hot and dry desert.

Perhaps it was because of the high intensity of martial arts training, but it was very strenuous to execute the moves, and after practicing for two hours, I was sweating a lot.

As soon as the martial arts instructor let Mu Zhi rest, her assistant quickly and considerately brought her a towel and water.

"Sister Zhizhi, here you go."

"Thanks."

Mu Zhi took the towel first to wipe her sweat, and then took the thermos from her assistant.

Minmin, who had been standing to the side scrolling through her phone, excitedly rushed to Muzhi, swallowed hard, and pointed at her phone with immense joy, saying, "Sister Zhizhi, I won! I really won!"

Tai Feng, who had just unscrewed a mineral water bottle not far away, paused.

Agent Qian Sheng crossed his arms and smacked his lips, saying, "I didn't expect Miss Mu to have a hobby of buying lottery tickets?"

Everyone else present curiously peered in Mu Zhi's direction, wondering: "Why are the staff around her so excited? How many millions did she win in the lottery?"

Minmin patted her chest, trying to calm herself down: "I mean we bet right!"

Before she could utter her next sentence, an actor next to her saw the news online and shouted, "Congratulations, Ms. Mu! You've been nominated for the Golden Crane Award for Best Actress!"

Minmin: "Sister Zhizhi got..." The rest of her words were swallowed back down her throat.

Ah, this is so uncomfortable.

Mu Zhi smiled and said to Minmin, "I understood what you meant as soon as you said your first sentence."

Upon hearing this, Minmin's eyes lit up, and she happily handed her phone to Muzhi, "Sister Zhizhi, take a look!"

It's a break time right now.

Mu Zhi took Minmin's phone; the screen displayed the official Weibo homepage of the Golden Crane Awards.

2 minutes ago.

The official Weibo account released the list of nominees for "Best Actress" at the 42nd Golden Crane Film Awards.

Mu Zhi was nominated for "Best Actress" for her role as A-Sang in "Countdown".

Upon opening the comments section, the front row was filled with fans congratulating Mu Zhi on receiving a nomination for "Best Actress" at the Golden Crane Awards.

I swiped the screen to take a look.

Tai Feng was also nominated for "Best Actor" for his role in "Countdown".

The film "Countdown" received nominations for a total of 7 awards, including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Music, and Best Feature Film.

A quick glance at the trending topics list reveals multiple topics related to the nominees for the Golden Crane Film Awards.

Mu Zhi clicked on her trending topic #MuZhiNominatedForBestActressAtGoldenCraneAwards#.

I checked the real-time comments from netizens.

"Congratulations, Mu Zhi. I recently watched two of her movies. Both of them, A-Sang and Zhou Rong, acted very well."

"Mu Zhi's acting in 'Countdown' was superb, and her performance was very moving. Her nomination for Best Actress at the Golden Crane Awards is well-deserved. However, she will most likely win the Golden Horn Award for Best Actress next year, right?"

"If I remember correctly, Mu Zhi won the Best Newcomer Award for her first film, and was nominated for Best Actress for her second film, 'Countdown.' That's amazing! Congratulations! [thumbs up]"

"I'm not surprised that Mu Zhi was nominated for Best Actress. Her performance in 'Countdown' was truly outstanding. I think she even surpassed Tai Feng, the Best Actor winner. I believe she can win Best Actress."

......

Many netizens congratulated Mu Zhi on her Best Actress nomination and expressed their belief that she would win the award.

Some netizens also felt that Mu Zhi was too young and had few film credits, so her chances of winning the Golden Crane Award for Best Actress were slim, and that being nominated was already a great achievement.

After reading through some comments, Mu Zhi had a general idea of ​​what netizens thought about her nomination for Best Actress at the Golden Crane Awards.

He then returned the phone to Minmin.

The other actors and martial arts personnel in the training hall, after congratulating Tai Feng on his Best Actor nomination, also came over to offer their blessings to Mu Zhi...

Tai Feng also walked towards Mu Zhi.

"Congratulations on your nomination, Professor Mu."

Mu Zhi politely replied, "Congratulations to you too, Professor Tai, on your second nomination for Best Actor."

After exchanging congratulations, Mu Zhi noticed that Tai Feng hadn't left immediately, and a look of confusion appeared on her face. She then heard Tai Feng add in a low voice, "Your performance as Sang was quite good."

Is this meant to encourage her to be confident in winning the award?

After training ended in the evening, Mu Zhi returned home.

I received a call from my agent.

"Zhizhi, congratulations on your nomination for Best Actress at the Golden Crane Awards."

"Director Wan Zhou's films have always received good reviews, and he is also known for his skill in training actors."

Therefore, any male or female actor who has worked with him and whose performance in a film is well-received by the audience can easily gain recognition in the industry overnight…

Award nominations are common.

After being nominated, the chances of winning the award are also higher.

After collaborating with renowned director Wan Zhou, Mu Zhi will be working with famous director Hong Yan for the second time.

Its current momentum in the film industry is unstoppable.

Regardless of whether she wins an award for "Countdown" or not, receiving a Best Actress nomination at the Golden Crane Awards demonstrates to some extent that Mu Zhi has become a young actress highly favored by the film industry.

"Zhizhi, I'm quite confident that you'll win Best Actress for 'Countdown.' Even if you don't win the Golden Crane Award, you have a great chance of winning the Golden Horn Award."

After finishing the phone call with the agent.

Mu Zhi sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

In fact, upon learning that she had been nominated for the Golden Crane Award for Best Actress, she did not experience any emotions such as joy, excitement, agitation, or happiness.

Like an outsider.

This is her fourth year living in this world, continuing her beloved acting career, filming one project after another, and experiencing the lives of one character after another.

But her heart still felt empty.

Year after year, Mu Zhi slowly came to accept the fact that she could not return to her original world.

She works and lives as if nothing is wrong every day. She has compatible colleagues, good friends, and a filming environment that is similar to her original world, but she can never truly integrate.

Or perhaps, we remain detached from this world.

She died on her way to the awards ceremony, failing to win the Best Actress award. This was her regret in her previous life, and also a small goal she wanted to achieve in this life.

Will things change once I win the Best Actress award?

As Mu Zhi was lost in thought, the doorbell rang suddenly in the quiet living room.
