Chapter 686 Young Generation
After walking the red carpet, Gu Wei and Wu Jing stood in front of the autograph board and let the media take pictures for a while, then walked into the lounge.
"You are so decisive about the Golden Horse Awards, leaving no room for maneuver.
But I like it, it’s what a man does, and if you need any help from me in the future, feel free to let me know.”
Wu Jing has a good relationship with Gu Wei, on the one hand because the other party extended a helping hand to him when he was in trouble, and on the other hand because they have similar temperaments.
Gu Wei's style of speaking and doing things is very consistent with his personality.
"It's a small matter, no big deal~" Gu Wei waved his hand and didn't take it to heart.
"If there are no surprises at the Huabiao Awards today, you're almost certain to win the Best Actor award."
Unlike Gu Wei, Wu Jing came today because of a nomination.
He was nominated for Best Actor for his role as Leng Feng in Wolf Warrior 2, competing for the award with Liu Peiqi from Dragon Wars.
There are usually only two nominees for each Huabiao Award. With one of the two to choose from, the chances of winning are very high as long as you are nominated.
Moreover, compared with "Dragon War", the theme of "Wolf Warrior 2" is more popular with the Huabiao Awards.
"No, I feel my acting skills are far inferior to Liu Peiqi's. Even if I win an award, it's just because the jury encourages young actors."
"Haha~Brother Jing, are you considered a young actor?
A young actor who debuted for over 20 years." Gu Wei said with a smile.
"It depends on who you're comparing yourself to. Mr. Liu Peiqi is already over 60, so I'm just a young actor next to him."
Wu Jing had nothing to be embarrassed about and explained seriously.
The two chatted for a while and then greeted their good friends in the venue.
Tonight's Huading Awards was unprecedentedly grand, with almost all of the most famous and high-profile figures in the domestic entertainment industry present. Looking around in the lounge, almost all of them were familiar faces.
Gu Wei chatted with Xu Zheng and Tao Hong for a while, congratulated director Su Lun on the nomination of the "Outstanding Young Creative Film" award for "Time Travel Together", and said hello to Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming.
Finally, when there was no one around, Da Mimi walked over gracefully.
"When did you come back?"
She was wearing a black halter dress, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on her chest, and her long wavy hair draped over her shoulders, making her look sexy and elegant.
"I landed the day before yesterday. Isn't it cold, Sister Mi?"
Gu Wei looked Yang Mi up and down.
It is December now, and the temperature in Beijing has dropped to around 0 degrees. He felt a little cold when he walked on the red carpet in a suit, let alone a skirt like Yang Mi.
"It was a bit cold outside just now, but it's much better now that I'm inside." Yang Mi's voice softened a bit as he spoke. "I'm wearing two layers of long johns underneath, so I can still hold on."
"Sister Mi still has a way~" Gu Wei said with a smile.
"This is the only solution. Female celebrities have to pay attention to their image. If possible, I don't want to wear a skirt this season.
By the way, thank you for Director Lu Yang’s new movie.”
Yang Mi reached out and smoothed her hair.
"Do we still need to be so polite with each other?
Besides, Senior Brother Lu was quite satisfied with you during our last cooperation. He decided to hire you after I mentioned it to him."
Some time ago, Lu Yang was preparing for a new movie [Assassination of Novelist] and immediately contacted Gu Wei, hoping that he could play the leading actor "Lu Kongwen".
That’s right, the protagonist of this movie is the novelist "Lu Kongwen", who was called Jiuzang in Shuang Xuetao’s original novel, but the film version later emphasized the role of "Guan Ning".
If Gu Wei takes on this movie, this version of "Assassination of Novelist" will be different, and "Lu Kongwen" will still be the protagonist.
Unfortunately, Gu Wei did not take this role.
On the one hand, his schedule couldn't be changed, as "Assassination of Novelist" was scheduled to start shooting at the beginning of next year, clashing with "Life Events"; on the other hand, Gu Wei was not very interested in this movie.
[Assassination of Novelist] is a fantasy action-adventure film. The highlights are the imagination and the fantastic and magnificent novel world. Special effects are the most important part of this movie, and the actors have limited room to perform.
However, although he did not accept the role, he still gave Lu Yang some suggestions on casting.
So Da Mimi naturally got this opportunity.
"Are you really not going to think about it anymore?
I've read the script, and it's a really interesting movie."
Yang Mi was about to persuade him again, but Gu Wei shook his head.
“I know, but I really don’t have time.
Next month, my company’s film “Life Events” will start filming. It will take about two months to shoot, and after that I will also be preparing to film “Detective Chinatown 3.”
Yang Mi's eyes turned when he heard what Gu Wei said.
"Has the female lead for [Life Events] been decided? Do you think I'm suitable?"
Gu Wei looked at her with some amusement.
"Putting aside whether it's suitable or not, the two dramas started filming almost at the same time. Are you planning to overlap?"
"Well, I'm just asking."
Gu Wei didn't talk with Yang Mi for too long. Wu Jing came over and dragged Gu Wei to meet some seniors in the circle, such as Chen Daoming.
This person is considered to be the top actor in the domestic film and television industry. Da Mimi has always pursued the goal of becoming a performing artist, and she is one, and an outstanding film performing artist awarded by the Radio, Film and Television.
In addition, Chen Daoming is also a member of the National People's Congress, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and vice chairman of the China Film Association.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be elected chairman of the Film Association when Mr. Li Xuejian retires at the end of this month.
This was not the first time Gu Wei and Chen Daoming met.
He is also a member of the Film Association and a member of the board of directors. The two of them had already known each other at a previous meeting of the association.
"Gu Wei is good. I've watched all the movies he made in the last two years. Operation Mekong and Wolf Warrior 2 are both very good. It's a shame he wasn't nominated for the Huabiao Awards this year."
Chen Daoming praised with a smile on his face.
Although Gu Wei has not been in the film industry for a long time, his growth in recent years is obvious to all. He is very optimistic about this young actor who is becoming very popular.
"Brother Daoming, you're picking me. Wolf Warrior 2 has two male leads. When I submitted the award, I also submitted it for Gu Wei. This nomination was also chosen by you."
Before Gu Wei could say anything, Wu Jingxian started to complain.
"I nominated you because the movie is called 'Wolf Warrior'. If it was called a different movie with you two as the male lead, I would have nominated Xiao Gu instead.
You’ve been directing and making movies in recent years, so your acting skills must also be improved.”
"Okay." Wu Jing is a big director and a big star outside, but he doesn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Chen Daoming.
"I'm still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future~" Gu Wei said with a smile.
Chen Daoming nodded.
“It’s great to be young. Youth is the greatest asset and it has infinite possibilities!
You can take on fewer TV dramas and more movies in the future, so that you have a chance to win awards."
"must."
Chen Daoming is very optimistic about Wu Jing and Gu Wei.
In his opinion, Wu Jing represents the middle-aged generation of domestic filmmakers and is the backbone, while Gu Wei represents the young generation and is the hope and future.
After chatting for a while, the award ceremony was about to begin and everyone entered and took their seats.
"I heard there will be a change of leadership at the end of the month. Did you nominate a vice chairman?"
Walking into the venue, Gu Wei asked in a low voice beside Wu Jing.
He only remembered it when he saw Chen Daoming.
"That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be one of the next vice presidents of the Film Association."
Wu Jing's lips curled up slightly.
The Film Association has one chairman and twelve vice-chairmen, with a term of five years.
For an actor, becoming vice chairman means he is at the top of the domestic film and television industry.
"Your disadvantage is that you're too young, but since you weren't nominated this time, you shouldn't have any problems next time."
Gu Wei nodded. He is 26 years old, Wu Jing is 44 years old, and Teacher Chen Daoming is 63 years old.
in the country, age and experience are often still very important.
Gu Wei had two jobs at the Huabiao Awards. One was to be a guest performer and sing the song [Flowers All the Way].
The second is to serve as the award presenter and present awards to the winners of the Outstanding Film Music Award.
There were so many stars attending the Huabiao Awards this year that the organizers deliberately adopted a double set of guests for the opening ceremony and presenting awards.
As the award presenter, Gu Wei can save some trouble. He doesn't need to go on stage to say anything. He can just wait for the winner to come on stage and then present the award.
After singing [Flowers All the Way], Gu Wei did not return to the audience seats, but waited backstage because it was soon his turn to present the award.
"Sweet~"
There are two presenters for each award, and the one presenting this award together with Gu Wei is Da Tiantian.
"Brother Wei, has your previous drama finished filming?"
Jing Tian was wearing a light green women's suit. Her fair face had delicate features and her watery eyes looked at Gu Wei with joy.
“It just wrapped a few days ago.”
"I haven't congratulated you on becoming the Hundred Flowers Award Winner yet~"
"Haha, thank you. It's a pity that I wasn't shortlisted for the Huabiao Awards, but being an award presenter wouldn't be bad either."
"It's been so long since [Si Teng] finished filming, and you never came to see me. We only had the chance to meet at the Huabiao Awards ceremony~"
Jingtian looked at Gu Wei with some resentment in his eyes.
"Um~ My work schedule is too full, there's nothing I can do."
Gu Wei touched his nose and said awkwardly.
“I know you’re busy, so I don’t blame you.”
"By the way, the post-production of our [Sito] has been completed, and we are negotiating with several video platforms about its broadcast." Gu Wei quickly changed the subject.
"Really? That's great!
When will it be broadcast?" Jing Tian asked in surprise.
"Either Valentine's Day next year or Women's Day."
"That's great. I'm really looking forward to seeing how [Si Teng] will perform after it's aired."
"Don't worry, after this drama is broadcast, 'Jingtian that can't be made popular' will become a thing of the past!" Gu Wei is full of confidence in his drama, and he has seen "Sito" edited by Li Muge, and Da Tiantian's cheongsam outfit is really amazing.
"I believe you!" Jingtian nodded with a smile and then invited.
"Would you like to have a midnight snack together after the awards ceremony?"
"No problem," Gu Wei agreed readily.
After presenting the awards with Da Tiantian, Gu Wei returned to his seat in the audience.
As expected, [Time Raiders] won the Outstanding Young Film Creation Award. Su Lun went on stage to receive the award, and it was obvious that she was very excited.
This movie was her debut work, but unexpectedly it was a huge success at the box office and received great reviews, and also won many awards.
For a director, it was a perfect start.
The Outstanding Director Award was won by Lin Chaoxian for "Operation Red Sea", and the Best Actress Award was given to Chen Jin for "Shibadong Village". Following the Hundred Flowers Award, she also won the Huabiao Award.
Wu Jing won the Best Actor award for "Wolf Warrior 2", which was also his first time to win the Best Actor award in a mainstream domestic award.
"Congratulations! It seems that what I said was right!" Gu Wei congratulated Wu Jing while looking at the trophy in his hand.
"Haha, thanks for your good wishes. I'll arrange wine after the ceremony!" Wu Jing couldn't stop smiling. Although he had expected it before, the joy he felt after winning the award was indescribable.
"Um, you're too late. I have an appointment today. I'll come celebrate with you later!" Gu Wei has always valued women over friends, and he had already promised Da Tiantian in advance.
"Okay, when you have time to come home, I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook a few dishes and we'll have a drink together." Wu Jing didn't care, and their relationship was no longer about these things. He immediately changed the appointment to have a family dinner with Gu Wei someday.
"No problem, let's meet again."
While Wu Jing was still immersed in the joy of winning the award, the Huabiao Awards entered the final stage and the Outstanding Feature Film Award was presented.
The guests who announced the finale awards were Chen Daoming and Zhang Ziyi.
After the host announced it, the two walked to the center of the stage together.
"Good evening everyone, I am actor Chen Daoming"
"Dear leaders, seniors, and colleagues in the film industry, good evening. I am actress Zhang Ziyi."
"Ziyi, have you ever won the Huabiao Award?" After introducing himself, Chen Daoming turned the topic to the Huabiao Award.
"Brother Daoming, you might envy me if I tell you this, but I've won the Huabiao Award three times!" Zhang Ziyi looked proud.
This year's Huabiao Awards had no script, and the award presenters were free to speak freely on stage. Zhang Ziyi was very satisfied with the questions raised by Chen Daoming, as it gave her a chance to show off.
"Are you the one who has won the most awards among Chinese actresses?" Chen Daoming was also a little surprised.
"Yes for now~" Zhang Ziyi nodded slightly.
"We all know that there are three major awards in the Chinese film industry, the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and Huabiao. Do you know the difference between these three awards?" Chen Daoming continued to ask.
His meaning was very clear. He wanted to continue the conversation with Zhang Ziyi and popularize these three major awards in the domestic film industry to the general audience.
Unfortunately, it was a good idea, but he chose the wrong person.
Zhang Ziyi widened her eyes when she heard the question, thinking that this question was a bit beyond the scope.
"The Hundred Flowers Award is the audience award, and the Golden Rooster Award is the most professional award."
I racked my brains to think of the general nature of the first two awards, but I really can't think of anything when it comes to the Huabiao Award.
"There's no need to say more about the Huabiao Award."
“No, you have to keep talking.”
"The Huabiao Award is the most powerful award!" As soon as the words fell, the guests sitting in the audience laughed.
"How great is it? What kind of award is it?" Chen Daoming didn't expect Zhang Ziyi to not know about it. After all, she had won the Huabiao Award three times. At this time, he thought Zhang Ziyi was doing it for show effect.
"That has to be said by you," Zhang Ziyi kicked the ball back without changing her expression.
"Don't you know?" Chen Daoming also realized it at this time, but with his status, he didn't need to accommodate Zhang Ziyi.
"I definitely know, Brother Daoming, please stop making things difficult for me. Just tell me quickly." Zhang Ziyi had no choice but to start acting like a spoiled child.
There was laughter from the audience.
"She really doesn't know, right? She won the Huabiao Award three times, and she doesn't know what the Huabiao Award commends for." Gu Wei said to Wu Jing beside him with a smile.
"This shouldn't be the case."
Wu Jing was also a little bit unbelieving.
"Tsk tsk. You're going to film "The Climber" with her soon." Gu Wei looked at Wu Jing with some sympathy.
At this time, Chen Daoming on the stage also let go of Zhang Ziyi and explained to everyone the significance of the Huabiao Award, which is simply a government award.
