Chapter 736 Crowning Him (10400 words)
In addition to these two categories, "Tropical Rainy Season" was also unsurprisingly nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
However, somewhat surprisingly, Qin Shulan, who was highly anticipated by film critics and the media in the early stages, was not nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category.
The PR team was hesitant. Did Qin Shulan have enough competitiveness for the Best Supporting Actress award? Had they made a mistake in their initial assessment? Should they... give up on the PR campaign?
“It’s alright. These are just awards from two film critics, just for reference, not a decisive factor,” Lu Yanhe told Helena Monchi, the film’s PR manager. “The overall critical environment in the early stages was very positive for Mr. Qin. Even if he doesn’t get an Oscar nomination in the end, it will still help Mr. Qin get recognized by Hollywood and the European and American film industry.”
Lu Yanhe didn't want to pin all his current efforts, public relations, and sacrifices on an unknown Oscar nomination.
While that is the primary objective, the most crucial aspect is that during this three-to-four-month public relations process, as a filmmaker, you are mentioned, discussed, praised, and even criticized time and again. Regardless of the reason, your name is heard and remembered by the industry. And, not to mention how many fans or how much fame you gain through this awards season journey, you will definitely leave an impression on the people in the industry who control film and television resources.
Isn't this also a kind of progress and expansion in one's career?
Just like at this year's Oscars, although Demi Moore ultimately couldn't beat Mickey Madison of "Anora," there's no doubt that during the long awards season, she gained tremendous exposure and heated discussions, bringing her career to its peak once again.
She'll definitely have the best window of opportunity to take on roles in Hollywood next.
In Hollywood, Asian women in their fifties and sixties are a rare sight—of course, that's not entirely true, as if there's a high demand and a low supply.
However, a project, a script, or a role, except in specific circumstances, can actually be played by either Europeans or Asians.
If Qin Shulan gains recognition in Hollywood, like Yoon Yeo-jeong from South Korea, she will be involved in one big and good project after another. Although she may not be the lead actress, she will still play an important and key role in the projects.
As an actor, as long as you're on stage, you always have the hope of getting a turning point in your career.
Just like Michelle Yeoh, who played supporting roles in Hollywood for so many years, finally got her big break with "Instant Universe".
Just like Demi Moore, who was almost considered washed up in Hollywood, she finally got her big break with "Something".
Like Brendan Fraser, who has been silent for many years, returning on "Whale".
Lu Yanhe's idea was simple: whether he got a nomination or an award was secondary; the first thing was to get on the table.
Only after you're seated at the table can you say what kind of food you're eating.

On this day, a private cocktail party was held, attended by a galaxy of celebrities. Because it was not open to the public, the celebrities were more relaxed and at ease, and the atmosphere was more comfortable.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi appeared hand in hand.
This is Lu Yanhe's first official appearance after being absent for more than a month during the awards season.
In a territory that wasn't entirely Chinese-owned, Lu Yanhe didn't dare call himself a "rising star."
However, he is now a true superstar in Hollywood.
He is not only a "top contender" in this year's awards season, but also has the blockbuster film series "The Mist" in hand, with the sequel set to be released next year. In addition, he will star in the fantasy blockbuster "Godless" and has several other projects in progress where he is the screenwriter.
In terms of career luck alone, no one in all of Hollywood has had it better than him.
From any perspective, he certainly belongs to the top tier of Hollywood's current generation of young actors.
Such a person, once they appear, will definitely be the center of attention.
Not to mention, there are also people who have their eyes on his projects.
-
Lu Yanhe wasn't even very comfortable in domestic social settings, let alone in unfamiliar places like abroad.
However, while he could manage to get by a little bit in the past, he couldn't do that this year.
This year he must be positive and full of energy.
This is the "unspoken rule" of awards season.
At this time, it's best not to have the rebellious spirit of an artist.
In biographies, defiance is often seen as a virtue, a sign of elegance, and a testament to the muse; but in real life, it is a downer, a repulsive rudeness and rudeness, a condition that at best leads to people keeping their distance and at worst to being universally reviled.
Even Daniel Day-Lewis has to be a regular at awards season, and his PR team needs to portray him as an "artist" and use various "artist" stories to increase his bargaining power during awards season.
There are very few actors who can still gain recognition without participating in awards season, such as Judi Dench.
However, that happened after he became a "leading figure".
In the later stages, it was less about her competing for the Oscars and public relations efforts, and more about the film company and PR team working towards the success of the film and their own operations. Judi Dench was simply a (very useful) prop in their PR efforts with the Oscars.
They didn't even attend the Oscars ceremony.
During the long awards season, Lu Yanhe needs to follow a strategy: he cannot throw all his chips at once.
To extend the campaign, we need to have new points of interest at each crucial stage to reignite public attention.
Helena Monchi's PR team has already planned out what kind of publicity to release at several key moments.
Within this framework, Lu Yanhe mostly just cooperates.
-
On December 4, the Gotham Independent Film Awards announced its winners, with Ueber Clarke taking home another Best Supporting Actor award.
On the same day, the Washington Film Critics Circle Awards were announced, with Javier Maxwell winning Best Supporting Actor for "Belfast".
However, the good news is that Qin Shulan has finally entered the field of the Best Supporting Actress category and has won her first nomination.
The Washington Film Critics Circle clearly loved "Tropical Rainy Season," even putting it on the shortlist for Best Picture.
On December 5th, the American Film Institute (AFI) announced its top ten films of the year, and "Tropical Rainy Season" was among them.
Everyone was very nervous that day.
The Golden Globe nominations will be announced on December 6th.
As one of the biggest indicators of the Oscars, it truly has a significant impact on the Oscars.
(Note: In the 2025 Oscar Best Actress category, Fernanda Torres, the lead actress in the Brazilian film "I Am Still Here," had virtually no prior announcement. Despite not receiving nominations at the Screen Actors Guild Awards or the British Academy Film Awards, she unexpectedly won Best Actress in a Drama at the Golden Globes, beating out another strong contender, and then made a strong entry into the Oscar Best Actress nomination list.)
Lu Yanhe was confident about his and Huang Feng's nominations. Although he hadn't won a Best Supporting Actor award yet, he was consistently a top contender, and a nomination shouldn't be a problem.
As for Best Actor, the Golden Globes usually divide films into drama and musical/comedy categories, so there are as many as ten nominees. Given Huang Feng's previous performances, he should have been nominated nominated.
In the Best Foreign Language Film category, if "Tropical Rainy Season" fails to be nominated given its current momentum, it would be a major upset, drawing considerable criticism.
The only factors that will determine whether "Tropical Rainy Season" is a "big force" or a "small force" in this year's awards season are Qin Shulan's Best Supporting Actress award, and whether "Tropical Rainy Season" can secure a spot in the Best Picture nomination list in addition to winning Best Foreign Language Film.
-
The Golden Globe nominations are announced live.
Lu Yanhe and the others sat together specifically to watch this live stream.
Helena Monchi, along with her PR team, occupied most of the room.
Some people were also filming footage on site, ready to release it as promotional material.
Chen Siqi ordered pizza, juice, coffee, and desserts for everyone, taking on the logistical support.
Even Darren Wilson came.
He didn't actually need to come.
It can only be said that he values Lu Yanhe's performance in this awards season, so he also had to be by Lu Yanhe's side when the Golden Globe nominations were announced.
More than just being there, it's an attitude.
Qin Shulan's expression betrayed her barely suppressed tension.
She estimated that she was under the most pressure among everyone present.
At this point, the first nominations were announced, starting with the TV series category.
This is also related to Lu Yanhe.
This year, both the second season of "The Seventeen Floors" and the second season of "Friends" were nominated for awards.
Maxine also did some public relations work for both shows.
After all, both shows made it into the top ten of Maxine's global TV show viewership rankings this year.
The results were outstanding.
There will be a sequel.
A good performance at the Golden Globe Awards would benefit the entire series.
Lu Yanhe didn't know if the second season of "Friends" would perform well this year. He remembered that apart from a few nominations for the first season, the original show didn't do very well in terms of awards afterward. It was quite different from "The Big Bang Theory."
And Lu Yanhe's premonition came true.
The second season of Friends was not nominated for any acting awards, but was nominated for Best Writing and Best Musical/Comedy Series.
In the second season of "The Seventeen Floors", only Chen Bige won the Best Actress award in a drama series.
Another tradition of the Golden Globes is to favor big-name stars who have won major performance awards, especially by including some big-name stars from outside the United States on the list. If you look at the list, you'll find that this is the case every year without exception.
Last year, Chen Bige received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in "Love Letter," and this year she received another nomination for Best Actress in a Television Series for the second season of "The 17th Floor"—Lu Yanhe would never believe that this wasn't due to Chen Bige's two Best Actress wins at the four major international film festivals.
Of course, regardless of the circumstances, this was truly a pleasant surprise.
Chen Bige has once again been nominated for a Golden Globe Award without any public relations efforts.
Lu Yanhe could imagine how happy Beijing and Taiwan were.
Her career has indeed been going well in recent years.
He was fortunate to have several scripts tailored to him by Lu Yanhe, and also benefited from the explosion of streaming media for the drama series he starred in, which was promoted by the platform.
Lu Yanhe sent a message in the six-person group chat of "Friends" saying "Let's keep up the good work next year!" and sent a congratulatory text message to Chen Bige before turning his attention back to the live stream.
Finally, we arrived at the movie part.
First, let's talk about the supporting roles.
The first nominees for Best Supporting Actor, Lu Yanhe, were unsurprisingly on the list. Then came the nominees for Best Supporting Actress, with Qin Shulan's name being the last to be announced. When it was announced, the entire audience let out a long sigh of relief and cheers.
A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Shulan's face.
After that, the nominees for each award were announced. Best Original Score: No film in Tropical Rainy Season; Best Screenplay: No film in Tropical Rainy Season; Best Foreign Language Film: No film in Tropical Rainy Season.
When all five names were read out for Best Actor in a Drama Film, Huang Feng was not among them, leaving everyone stunned.
What's going on?
Everyone's first reaction was, in fact, to look at each other in bewilderment.
I doubted that I had misheard.
It's worth noting that Huang Feng's performance at the outpost was even more consistent than Lu Yanhe's.
His momentum is somewhat similar to the year Jennifer Lawrence won the award for "Silver Linings Playbook"—the little girl in "Beasts of the Southern Wild" had no chance of winning, but a nomination was a sure thing.
Subsequently, the nominees for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical category were announced, and Huang Feng was not among them.
They were indeed eliminated in a shocking upset.
After that, "Tropical Rainy Season" was not nominated for either Best Picture in a Drama or Best Picture in a Musical or Comedy.
Three nominations.
Not few, but definitely not many either. The key point is that none of the four major awards were nominated, so this year's awards season can only be described as "less prominent".
"It's already a very good result." To everyone's surprise, Huang Tianlin was the first to stand up and cheer everyone on.
Lu Yanhe was surprised.
Huang Tianlin knew best just how "troublesome" his personality was.
Huang Tianlin hugged Qin Shulan and Lu Yanhe to express his congratulations and blessings.
Everyone else realized what was happening and started clapping and cheering.
Lu Yanhe knew that now was definitely not the time to spoil the mood.
So he quickly composed himself, smiled, hugged Qin Shulan, and then made a fist-pumping gesture to encourage her.
With the release of the Golden Globe nominations, the competitive landscape of this awards season is beginning to emerge.
Of course, this is still just the beginning, and there are still several key indicators yet to emerge.
In the following days, the Sunset Critics Association Awards, the British Independent Film Awards, the Atlanta Film Critics Association Awards, and the Las Vegas Film Critics Association Awards were announced one after another.
Lu Yanhe finally won two Best Supporting Actor awards, one from the British Independent Film Awards and the other from the Las Vegas Film Awards. This finally prevented him from ending up with zero awards in the preliminary statistics.
Whether it was due to the influence of the Golden Globe Awards or not, Qin Shulan has finally started to frequently appear on the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actress.
However, even though Huang Feng did not receive a Golden Globe nomination, he was still firmly among the nominees for Best Actor in the subsequent awards.
Why Huang Feng didn't receive a Golden Globe nomination remains a mystery and is quite puzzling.
In awards season, talent and a good performance are merely tickets to the competition; everyone has a good performance. The significance of public relations lies in its ability to argue from various angles and value perspectives why this year's winner/nominated candidate should be that person.
After obtaining Lu Yanhe's attitude and consent, Helena Monchi published an article for Huang Feng in The Washington Post, stating that "Hollywood has not recognized outstanding performances by underage actors for ten consecutive years."
This tricky theme was the work of Helena Rubinstein.
Instead of discussing how good or well-received Huang Feng's performance was, she argued from an industry perspective what the significance of recognizing Huang Feng's performance this year was.
This is strikingly similar to the public relations strategy Meryl Streep employed when she won her third Academy Award for Best Actress for "The Iron Lady." However, her strategy back then leaned more towards focusing on her own performance—
It's been 29 years since Meryl Streep last won an Oscar! Her performance in "The Iron Lady" rightfully earned her another one!
This statement permeated Meryl Streep's public relations efforts throughout that year.
The reason for emphasizing this point is that Meryl Streep has already won two Oscars. Winning three Oscars is extremely difficult, and winning four is a rare feat in history.
Therefore, her PR team used the phrase "not having won an award in 29 years" to offset the judges' concerns about the "three-time award" when voting, thus persuading the judges to vote again.
Helena Monchi's gesture actually earned Lu Yanhe's great appreciation.
They used an unexpected tactic.
Just like when Michelle Yeoh won Best Actress, she faced the rising star Cate Blanchett. Ultimately, she relied on saying, "I am the first Asian woman to have a chance to win Best Actress. I hope that my winning the award can inspire all Asian women and tell everyone that no one in this world can tell you the word 'impossible'." She directly waged a "moral battle" and a "battle of industry significance" from an industry perspective, laying a solid foundation for her eventual win of the Best Actress award.
Public Relations —
In a way, it's also a debate, a speech, and each side presenting their own arguments.
Helena Monchi said that Green Valley's PR team has been fully mobilized, accompanying celebrities and voting members of the Academy to watch "Tropical Rainy Season" and building up their base vote by vote.
These are all public relations tactics within the rules.
You can't give gifts, you can't bribe, you can't send emails saying don't vote for others... but there's still a lot you can do.
Helena Monchi said, "I've read many of your acceptance speeches, and that's your biggest strength because they're so inspiring. So I hope to create more opportunities for you to give acceptance speeches, which will greatly increase people's goodwill towards you."
The United States is truly a country that values "speech" very much.
Presidential campaigns also involve speeches.
Lu Yanhe also knew that what Helena Monchi said was indeed true.
Demi Moore was considered the number one seed for the 2025 Oscars before Mickey Madison ultimately won, based on her Golden Globe acceptance speech. Prior to that, various predictions suggested that she, Mickey Madison, and Cara Sofia Gascoigne were neck and neck in a "three-way battle" with little chance of winning.
This also shows how important a good acceptance speech is during awards season.
Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "This isn't something I can just have whenever I want to have the opportunity to publish and win an award."
-
On the 15th, the nominations for the second major indicator of market trends, the Critics' Choice Awards, were announced.
Huang Feng has returned to the Best Actor nomination list, Lu Yanhe is firmly in the Best Supporting Actor nomination list, and both films have secured a Best Foreign Language Film nomination. However, Qin Shulan is not on the Best Supporting Actress list, while Huang Tianlin unexpectedly made it onto the Best Director nomination list.
Like a rollercoaster, it went up and down.
Then, the shortlist for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film (9 films were shortlisted) was announced, and "Tropical Rainy Season" was successfully shortlisted. In the end, 4 films were selected from the 9 shortlisted films to enter the final nomination list.
Then, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The major awards will be announced next January and February.
Lu Yanhe returned to China.
I attended several award ceremonies in China, hosted a private year-end party with my friends in Yuming, got myself completely drunk, and went crazy to vent my frustrations.
Afterwards, he took Chen Yin and others from Linghe, as well as Li Zhibai, to the BiCarlo Film Festival.
There were no public appearances this time; he was simply at the Picardo Film Festival looking for buyers for "Buried".
Film distributors across Asia have received invitations.
Of course, everyone is very interested in this thriller film produced by Parameter, written by Lu Yanhe, and starring Li Zhibai.
Because the main cast and crew are big names, and it's a commercial film, not an art film.
After the initial exchange, the detailed follow-up arrangements were left to Chen Yin.
Before leaving, Lu Yanhe visited the judging panel of the main competition unit, led by Wang Zhong, and treated them to lunch and a group photo.
Since there are no films starring Lu Yanhe this year, there's no need to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Lu Yanhe chatted with everyone openly and generously, and added them as friends.
He then rallied his spirits and flew to the United States.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held on January 8th.
-
In addition to the cast and crew of "Tropical Rainy Season," Chen Bige, Jiang Yuqian, Jiang Jun, Li Zhibai, and members of the "Friends" cast and crew also attended the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
Jiang Yuqian's invitation was obtained by Lü Gu to promote "Red Eye Flight".
Jiang Jun's invitation was obtained by Parameter to promote "Destruction Day".
Li Zhibai's invitation was also obtained by Parameter, in order to promote "Buried Alive".
But in fact, this was partly due to Darren Wilson's extensive lobbying efforts to persuade Parameter to support Lu Yanhe.
Parameter does not intend to publicly support Lu Yanhe, but it would be happy to bring some convenience to Lu Yanhe while advancing its own project.
When announcing the Golden Globe Award presenters, the collaborating media will specifically point out that Jiang Yuqian's attendance is for the promotion of the film "Red Eye Flight," which was written by Lu Yanhe. Following this pattern, there will inevitably be a mention of Lu Yanhe.
This is also crucial.
This sends a signal that Lu Yanhe is seriously planning to make a name for himself in Hollywood.
People in any industry, putting everything else aside, will respect someone who truly loves that industry.
Another signal is that Lu Yanhe's contributions to Hollywood are enough to warrant an Oscar for him.
This also means that the Golden Globe Awards red carpet features a very high number of Chinese actors.
As a result, this year's Golden Globe Awards garnered an unusually high level of attention in China, with three major video platforms joining forces to buy the broadcasting rights—though the broadcast was delayed by five minutes, in case someone at the event went crazy and caused trouble.
With Chinese sponsors paying for the broadcasting rights, the Golden Globes naturally gave more screen time to Chinese stars.
People buy your broadcasting rights just to watch these people.
They know exactly what's going on.
As Chinese celebrities walked the red carpet among stars from other countries, especially with Lu Yanhe holding Chen Siqi's hand, displaying a perfect match like a "golden couple," everyone waited for the awards ceremony to officially begin.
Many people are still waiting for the last Chinese actress to appear.
Chen Bige was nominated for Best Actress this year.
Then, Chen Bige, wearing a very gorgeous dress—or rather, a robe, gracefully walked onto the red carpet.
All fans familiar with Chen Bige were stunned.
This woman dislikes heavy formal dresses the most.
She rarely wears such bulky dresses.
Even at last year's Golden Globe Awards, her outfit wasn't half as formal as it is today.
What's wrong with her today?
The live chat was flooded with comments.
Many people are using the word "Queen" in their posts.
Because her outfit today is very similar to the kind of women's dresses worn in medieval European courts.
It was extremely demanding.
When Chen Bige reached about a third of the way down the red carpet, she suddenly stopped.
Her entourage suddenly stepped forward.
Everyone was stunned.
Many people at the scene were stunned.
Chen Bige stretched out her arms gracefully like an actress in "Swan Lake," allowing her entourage to work on her, removing several buttons. Then, the bulky dress was suddenly unfolded, transforming into a floor-length gown.
A scene that shocked everyone present unfolded before their eyes—
When Chen Bige's originally mottled and bulky skirt was unfolded, it revealed embroidery of two figures.
The entire skirt was covered by these two figures.
One is the autistic genius in the second season of "The Seventeenth Floor" who was eager to reach out to Chen Bige.
Another one is the boy in "Tropical Rainy Season" who looks back at his home before leaving.
Two figures, two gazes, looking at each other across her long dress.
At this moment, Chen Bige gracefully and lazily stretched her arms into the air, fully displaying the dress she was wearing.
A gasp of amazement erupted from the crowd, and the flashing of camera lights suddenly transformed the red carpet into a sea of color.
Some people even screamed with excitement, screaming like they were hoarse.
Inside the arena, people who were talking to each other looked up at the gasps of surprise rising and falling around them.
On the screen inside the venue, the camera of the Golden Globe Awards red carpet live broadcast lingered on Chen Bige for nearly thirty seconds.
Close-up, long shot, medium shot, various transitions.
Chen Bige is breathtakingly beautiful.
And the person on her skirt, at that moment, also became art.
Lu Yanhe stared at Chen Bige on the screen, and at his reflection in her dress. At that moment, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief and even covered his mouth.
He was afraid he would lose control of his facial expressions at this moment.
Chen Bige, without telling anyone or giving any warning, pulled off such a big stunt—
In this way, she supported him during her red carpet appearance.
-
Even before the Golden Globe Awards have begun, the most authoritative fashion media outlet, Vogue, has already released the best red carpet looks for the Golden Globes.
Chen Bige's "Lu Yanhe Battle Robe" topped the list.
The sensation caused by Chen Bige's dress, both domestically and internationally, exceeded everyone's expectations.
What surprised everyone even more was that Chen Bige's studio immediately posted a picture of her on the red carpet with her eyes closed, arms elegantly outstretched, and a gorgeous and story-telling dress, like a free bird carrying divine will.
The picture has a line of handwritten text.
It's still in quotation marks.
"My soul is poured into your pen, and your art takes root in me."
Signed: Chen Bige.
-
This news and this statement were seen and widely circulated not only in China, but also around the world through the Golden Globe Awards.
-
An hour and a half later, Lu Yanhe heard his name called from the presenter.
The cheers and applause from the audience seemed to be crowning him.
He walked onto the stage in unbelievable surprise, and then searched for Chen Bige.
"This trophy is just the second incredible gift I received today. The first gift was from my forever Best Actress, Ms. Chen Bige. Thank you for your dress today. You are as beautiful as a goddess. I want to tell you that I will always be your devoted follower. Please always favor the script I present to you. It is a hymn of praise to you written from the depths of my soul."
Lu Yanhe's eyes were red.
Chen Siqi was the first to clap and cheer.
In the hall, almost all the actresses were moved by Lu Yanhe's words at that moment.
Which of them wouldn't want to be the muse of such a talented creator?
Everyone offered a heartfelt round of applause.
"Thank you to the Foreign Press Club for your choice. Otherwise, this would have been a regrettable night, and I would have regretted not being able to express my excitement and gratitude on this stage."
Lu Yanhe smiled and looked away, then turned to Huang Tianlin.
"Huang Tianlin, the director of 'Tropical Rainy Season,' created this unparalleled film precisely because of his capture of the most subtle and complex emotions between people. Huang Feng, Qin Shulan... We actors, in Director Huang Tianlin's cinematic world, reached the truth of emotions and the warmth of memories, and then, we achieved ourselves. Without Director Huang Tianlin, without everyone in this film, I could not have become the person in the film, nor could I have held this trophy."
Huang Tianlin's eyes even welled up with tears.
Lu Yanhe laughed incredulously, "He's actually about to cry. I've never seen his eyes so wet before."
The entire audience burst into laughter and looked at Huang Tianlin.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and said, "This is a wonderful night, Siqi, the love of my life. How lucky I am to be able to hold your hand and walk into this hall, and then feel this excitement and thrill under your gaze."
"And so many friends, I am truly grateful. You are all here tonight. Because of this industry, I've come to know you all; because of you, I love this industry even more. I so hope that one day in the future, when I stand on this stage again, I'll realize that I've collaborated with everyone in this audience. Of course, I know that's wishful thinking, but each and every one of you is so talented, shining as brightly as the world before me right now. I can't help but imagine how wonderful it would be to work with you all. We Chinese like to say something at the end, and I hope to say it here too: Friends, we have a long future ahead of us!"
Lu Yanhe blew a kiss to everyone in the audience, turned around and hugged his award presenter again, clenched his fist excitedly, and went down with him.
The cheers and applause from the audience were deafening.
Helena Monchi also clenched her fist excitedly.
"I knew it! I knew it!"
As for what she meant by "I knew," no one knows except herself.
-
The first indicator is a resounding success.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.
Later, "Tropical Rainy Season" won the Best Foreign Language Film award.
Huang Tianlin was stunned and exclaimed incredulously, "Really?"
"Tropical Rainy Season" has always been a strong contender for nominations, but not a strong contender for the award.
He never expected that "Tropical Rainy Season" would win an award.
Helena Monchi said "I knew it!" twice more.
When Huang Tianlin went on stage, his eyes were really red with excitement.
Lu Yanhe and the rest of the "Tropical Rainy Season" crew all stood up and cheered and applauded.
Who would have thought?
Huang Tianlin took several deep breaths to control his emotions.
As a result, his first words were: "Back then, my producer Yuan Hai told me that working with Lu Yanhe would make me known all over the world. At the time, I thought, what a load of rubbish! Who would have thought that working with Lu Yanhe would actually make this unknown little director known all over the world!"
Lu Yanhe looked at Huang Tianlin in disbelief.
How could he say such a thing?
All around, people were laughing and clapping, while also glancing at Lu Yanhe.
Who among us hasn't gone through a period of obscurity and obscurity?
Such stories always evoke deep emotions and bring tears to our eyes.
Lu Yanhe waved his hand, indicating that this had nothing to do with him.
Huang Tianlin: "My God, this is the first Malaysian film to win Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards. It actually happened to me. If my mother knew, she would hug me with joy."
When he said his last words, he suddenly choked up and tears welled up in his eyes.
Lu Yanhe was also inexplicably moved, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"Thank you, Yuan Hai. Without you, I would never have been able to enter the dreamlike world of film. Thank you to everyone in the crew. If you hadn't believed in me and helped me complete this film, I would never have known that I, and a film as insignificant as 'Tropical Rainy Season,' could be seen by the world."
"Malaysia is a very beautiful country. I put all my love for it into this movie, and I hope that you will come to love this place through this movie."
"Thanks."
"Also, Huang Feng, remember, your uncle loves you."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Lu Yanhe could no longer hold back and finally broke down in tears, quickly wiping them away.
Grass.
Dry.
day.
This is what happened.
-
Subsequent awards had nothing to do with "Tropical Rainy Season".
Although Ms. Qin Shulan did not win an award, winning two out of three nominations was already an unexpected surprise and a pleasant surprise.
Everyone went to the party after the Golden Globe Awards.
Lu Yanhe finally had a chance to have a proper chat with Chen Bige.
“You really… gave me a completely unexpected surprise,” Lu Yanhe said to her.
Chen Bige said with a smile, "I can't let you write so many scripts for me for nothing."
Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his head.
"You'd better keep your word and continue writing scripts for me."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"knew."
Chen Bige patted Lu Yanhe's head. "Don't keep chatting with me tonight. I'm going to have a drink. Go find someone else."
After saying that, she happily took her wine glass and left.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
The persona of someone who loves to drink is truly timeless for Chen Bige.
At the scene, people came one after another to congratulate Lu Yanhe on winning the award.
Lu Yanhe thanked them one by one and then they talked.
Many people are very interested in his later projects and are asking him questions indirectly.
Amidst the clinking of glasses and the fleeting glimpses of the scenery, the atmosphere was lively and relaxed.
It was late at night when Lu Yanhe and his men finally withdrew.
After they were taken down, there was a second stall.
Their own little stall.
In the house that Hua Ruzhen rented.
Hua Ruzhen and Muken Sorge were waiting for them in the house.
They arrived one after another, along with their respective teams, making up dozens of people.
Fortunately, the house that Hua Ruzhen and her family rented was big enough.
As soon as Hua Ruzhen saw Lu Yanhe, she cupped his face in her hands, rubbed and pinched it, her eyes sparkling, her face filled with pride and joy, and said with delight, "Little Lu, you're amazing, you're so amazing!"
Lu Yanhe was already a little tipsy.
He hugged Hua Ruzhen tightly and said, "Sister, I know that you and Mu Ken have helped a lot. Thank you."
"And you're still saying all this."
"It's so good to have you all."
After Lu Yanhe finished speaking, he let go, and in a daze, he turned his head and clung to Li Zhibai again.
"Ugh, I feel like I'm going to throw up."
Li Zhibai jumped up and shoved Lu Yanhe into Yan Liang's arms.
"Spit on him!"
Yan Liang caught it with lightning speed, otherwise Lu Yanhe would have fallen to the ground.
He rolled his eyes at Li Zhibai, "You're really something else."
Yan Liang patted Lu Yanhe on the back, "Are you alright?"
Lu Yanhe clung to Yan Liang like a sloth, saying, "Great, really great."
Chen Siqi stood beside Lin Yu, watching this scene, and shook her head.
Lin Yu smiled: "Who do you think is the love of his life, you or Yan Liang?"
Chen Siqi: "Let him be. When you talk about the love of your life with a drunk man, you think you can hear the truth, but you can only hear the mindless words of a lunatic."
Lin Yu smiled.
She gently nudged Chen Siqi with her shoulder.
"Then tell me the truth, when Chen Bige walked down the red carpet in that dress today, weren't you even a little bit jealous?"
Chen Siqi's gaze fell on the female celebrity who had found a corner and was holding a cup in her left hand and a bottle in her right.
"My emotional side is a little jealous, my rational side is a little envious, but my true self tells me that jealousy is jealousy, and envy is envy. She is her, and I am me."
"What I care about is the version of myself in Lu Yanhe's heart."
Lin Yu looked at Chen Siqi in surprise.
She had never shown such deep respect for Chen Siqi before.
Then, a steaming figure came over.
It was like a tiger climbing on a lamb.
Lu Yanhe hugged Chen Siqi from behind.
"What are you whispering about?" His drunken words were barely audible.
Chen Siqi's eyes instantly crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, shimmering with a bright, clear light.
Lin Yu watched them quietly at this moment.
In the bustling, familiar, and relaxed crowd, this is them at this moment.
His girlfriend, her boyfriend, and their partners.
Meanwhile, Chen Bige, seemingly suddenly emboldened by the alcohol, abruptly stepped onto the sofa, raised his glass, and loudly proclaimed to everyone in the room: "My friends, our little boat is about to set sail tonight! Let's raise our glasses and cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, beaming with smiles, and shouted, "Cheers!"
-
I got carried away writing.
Cheers to tonight!
I'm going to find some wine to drink.
I recommend the old book, "I Became the Scandalous Woman Overnight".
Good night, see you tomorrow.
