Chapter 53 053 Red Carpet Appearance
Chapter 53
Lin Yuan doesn't stay up late. Sometimes he might stay up late reading scripts or memorizing lines, but once he crosses the 12 o'clock mark, he feels like his brain is a mess, and he consciously rejects the effort itself, so his efficiency naturally drops.
Writing songs is a different story. Lin Yuan had several musical instruments beside him, his computer was on, and his brain was working at lightning speed.
He is an inspiration-driven creator—although he calls himself that, when the inspiration strikes, Lin Yuan will suddenly have a burst of creative desire and write things that he thinks are pretty good.
Lin Yuan didn't even notice the passage of time tonight. By the time he realized it, the clock had already struck two.
Although the creative process was only halfway complete, Lin Yuan had a general idea of what kind of song he wanted to write next.
He then spent another day and night working hard.
On the third day, his agent stopped him: "Are you planning to walk the red carpet with this swollen face?"
Lin Yuan: "That's true."
With the Golden Wing Awards drawing ever closer, Lin Yuan needs to maintain both her figure and a good facial appearance in order to look her best on the red carpet. Before the Golden Wing Awards officially began, Feng had arranged a collaboration with a beauty brand for Lin Yuan.
Collaborating with beauty brands isn't as difficult as collaborating with luxury brands. Lin Yuan will definitely need to wear makeup when walking the red carpet, so it's enough to simply have the brand give her some advertising.
In short, Lin Yuan has recently made a lot of money.
Although Tnz and GVM are more well-known, this beauty brand is more generous in terms of collaboration fees.
...
"Lin Yuan, keep it up!!"
"I'll cheer you on!!"
"..."
Early in the morning, Lin Yuan received several text messages on his phone. It was the day of the Golden Wing Awards ceremony, and the actors and staff from the dramas "Thousand Mountains" and "The Powerful Minister" were all encouraging Lin Yuan in advance.
The cast of "Thousand Mountains" didn't have many nominations this year. Besides Lin Yuan being nominated for Best Supporting Actor, there were also nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actress. In addition, Lin Yuan was also nominated for Best Newcomer.
However, in the predictions before the ceremony, the chances of "Thousand Mountains" winning the award were not high. The reason why "Thousand Mountains" was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay was because the overall quality of adapted screenplays in the film market was mediocre in the year before the Golden Wing Awards.
Among them, "Thousand Mountains" belongs to the category of works that are faithful to the original but also have their own unique characteristics.
Therefore, only Lin Yuan, Hua Lin, and screenwriter Yu Di attended the awards ceremony. Yu Di had no interest in walking the red carpet and only arranged for Hua Lin and Lin Yuan to walk it.
Lin Yuan has the best chance of winning Best Newcomer.
Regarding his nomination for Best Supporting Actor, apart from Geng Yue's fans who are still upset, there isn't much online discussion about it anymore.
However, there have been rumors recently that Lin Yuan won his Best Supporting Actor nomination because of Qin Panyun's influence.
Qin Panyun is a frequent nominee for the Golden Wing Awards. This year, the overall atmosphere of "Thousand Mountains" was too tragic, so it did not receive the favor of the Golden Wing Awards. Given the number of nominations Qin Panyun has received, it would be too much for her to be nominated for Best Director again, so the nomination was given to Lin Yuan.
A blogger claiming to be an "insider" spoke with great conviction, and many netizens believed him.
Besides the claim of "compensating Qin Panyun," there is also the claim of "compensating Li Mobei." In short, both Qin Panyun and Li Mobei were generous and gave up their opportunities to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan and the other two: "..."
"I guess I'm pretty lucky," Hua Lin exclaimed. "I'm actually the only one in our crew who doesn't have to give way?"
"You should really reflect on yourself."
"Reflect on yourself."
"Reflect on your actions."
Hua Lin: "...Stop your envious and jealous faces."
Hua Lin is also an optimistic and cheerful person, but she is usually too busy with her career and works very hard, so she doesn't even have time to go online and chat.
She often goes online after 11 p.m. to reply to a message sent by a group member at 8 a.m.
The key point is that her reply was not perfunctory at all, but very serious, giving people the feeling that "no matter how serious you are, it's useless now that things are already too late".
"...It's expired."
"Let's log on earlier next time."
Hua Lin: "..."
She is very hardworking, but the development of female martial arts stars is not smooth these days. She is already one of the most successful in transitioning to acting. Even so, Hua Lin has really worked hard to find a suitable position for herself in the entertainment industry.
Since the release of "Thousand Mountains", Lin Yuan has not seen Hua Lin again. He only knows that her next movie is an action movie in which Hua Lin plays an assassin.
“I’m on it every day,” she complained. “I fall asleep the moment I hit the bed.”
Hua Lin has already begun to transition her career, but several directors she has worked with still love using her.
Because Hua Lin's fight scenes are all real combat scenes, without any fluff, and she herself is very brave, her movements on camera look much smoother than fancy moves.
“I almost went to Hollywood,” Hua Lin mentioned. “Unfortunately, I got injured at the time, and the opportunity slipped away.”
However, Hua Lin doesn't feel regretful. Even if she can't challenge herself in Hollywood, she can still challenge herself in the film industry she loves.
"Very impressive." Lin Yuan's tone was filled with admiration.
Although Hua Lin encountered many setbacks during her transformation, she is invincible in her field of expertise. Although her physical functions are not as good as before, she is irreplaceable in the eyes of some directors and audiences.
"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear." Hua Lin patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder.
...
The red carpet was already packed with people: film media, fashion media, guests, nominees... The space in front of the venue was not large to begin with, and now it was even more crowded.
"Is it really that bad?" Yan Li glanced at her friend. "I can barely breathe."
The key issue is that it's still winter, not the sweltering summer. Yan Li, wrapped in a thick down jacket, felt like she was about to break out in a sweat. She was standing in the front row, with people constantly pushing and shoving her from all sides. Although there was security to maintain order, it did nothing to change the miserable state of her being squeezed.
She shouldn't have come; she shouldn't have joined in the fun.
Unfortunately, she's naturally a person who loves to join in the fun and doesn't learn her lesson. Even if she regrets it this time, she'll still come next time.
For example, she accompanied her friends to watch the extremely bad movie "The Immortal" last time, and then watched another terribly bad movie during the summer season. Yan Li herself couldn't help but sigh that she and her friends could totally compile a collection of bad movies. If she wrote down her experiences of watching terrible movies, she would definitely get a lot of sympathy votes.
"Has Geng Yue arrived?" Yan Li's friend asked.
"They didn't come, did they?" She shook her head. "I didn't see any members of the crew go by."
Yan Li wasn't a fan of Geng Yue, but her friend had recently become a fan of him. The reason Yan Li couldn't be a fan was that she had accompanied her friend to see "Where the Sun Shines" and witnessed Geng Yue's outstanding performance in it.
While her friends had a fan bias, she didn't. In short, in her opinion, Geng Yue's performance in "Where the Sun Shines" could even be considered one of the film's flaws. He and the other actors in the crew seemed to be on different levels, with a particularly obvious difference.
But fans obviously don't think so.
However, Yan Li admitted that, in terms of looks alone, Geng Yue is quite outstanding among the current top-tier or near-top-tier male actors.
Yan Li has never met Geng Yue in person, but her friends have sent her many photos of him. Geng Yue is of average height and has a good physique. He has the kind of cool and aloof look that makes him seem unapproachable, but perhaps it is this sense of distance that attracts him to a large number of fans.
Occasionally, fans dislike idols who are overly approachable and gentle.
As Yan Li was thinking about Geng Yue, a commotion suddenly arose from ahead of the crowd. Her friend excitedly patted her shoulder: "Is that Geng Yue?"
One of her friends was nearsighted and couldn't see clearly in the distance, but Yan Li could see clearly who was walking at the end of the red carpet.
She shook her head: "It shouldn't be, there were only two people."
If nothing unexpected happens, the crew of "Where the Sun Shines" should be a group of people walking together, not just two people.
The two people gradually drew closer.
Yan Li and her friends took a clever spot; although it was a bit crowded, it allowed them to clearly see the faces of the celebrities walking the red carpet.
Although Yan Li doesn't follow celebrities, she still recognizes several currently popular stars. After walking with many celebrities on the red carpet, she discovered that without the misleading effect of retouched photos, many celebrities' real-life appearances are far less attractive than their on-screen looks, while some celebrities are at a disadvantage on camera but are actually stunning beauties in real life.
What appeared before Yan Li was a pair of male and female celebrities who matched her aesthetic standards.
The female celebrity abandoned the off-shoulder dress and chose a black leather jacket. She was slender, but not in an excessively thin way. Her muscles must have been toned, making her legs, encased in jeans, appear even longer. She also had a natural air of heroism between her brows. Although she smiled when greeting the audience on both sides, her coolness was undeniable.
"Sister, marry me!"
"Ahhh, so handsome!!"
Walking beside the female celebrity was a young male actor in a black suit. He had a rather serious expression as he walked, but when he looked at the audience, perhaps someone called his name, he moved closer and a smile appeared on his face.
Yan Li then noticed that the other person had a very well-hidden dimple.
The moment the serious expression disappeared from the person's face, Yan Li realized that the other person had a sunny and cute appearance. Their eyes curved when they smiled, and their bright black pupils radiated a cheerful cuteness. Their eyebrows also gave a very natural feeling.
It was a rainy morning, but when the other person passed by, Yan Li felt as if she had been touched by sunlight.
It was still a very handsome ray of sunshine.
"Who is this?" Yan Li asked curiously.
The other person looked serious: "Hua Lin and Lin Yuan."
As soon as her friend mentioned it, Yan Li immediately understood that it was the actor who had "snatched" Geng Yue's nomination.
"Don't you think he's good-looking?" my friend asked.
You can't lie about aesthetics, Yan Li nodded honestly: "Mm."
From her looks to her figure, she was exactly what Yan Li wanted. From a distance, Yan Li could even see the other woman's slender fingers.
The other person's eyes really looked like glass, without a trace of cloudiness.
"Geng Yue is even better looking than him, don't worry."
Yan Li: "..."
She had no worries from the beginning.
However, it wasn't until her friends started getting excited and the entire red carpet seemed to be buzzing with excitement that Yan Li realized the "Sunny Place" crew had already passed by.
But Geng Yue's face didn't leave any impression on her at all. She only felt that she had seen several beautiful actresses and a row of men, and that the youngest one among them was probably Geng Yue.
But is he handsome?
Yan Li thought about it carefully. She seemed to remember someone passing by, but if the person was really stunningly handsome, she definitely wouldn't have no impression of him at all.
Or perhaps the other person's oil exceeded her limit.
Yan Li refuses to accept any greasy men. She has a greasy man detector. Once the other person's greasiness exceeds a certain limit, the automatic shielding function in Yan Li's brain will activate.
"Ahhhh, Geng Yue is so handsome!!" The friend held up her phone, showing Yan Li the photo she'd just taken. "Isn't he handsome?"
Yan Li: "..."
All she could think about was Lin Yuan's back as he turned away on the red carpet.
Although she felt a little bad for her friends, Lin Yuan was clearly more in line with her aesthetic.
Yan Li suddenly remembered that when she watched "The Immortal", she seemed to have seen a poster for "A Thousand Mountains".
In the poster, Lin Yuan, who plays Gu Yilou, stands in the shadows, his emotions unreadable.
That's why she didn't recognize him at first glance.
The real Lin Yuan and Gu Yilou are too far apart.
