Lu Yihong silently tidied up his clothes, and then looked at himself in the mirror carefully.
Then……
He saw a few gray hairs.
White hair looks glaring.
He was a little dazed and felt a little unreal.
etc!
Before I knew it, I was already thirty-four years old?
The midday sun shone on Lu Yihong's face, making him feel very unhappy.
Many, many past events came to his mind.
He made his debut in Joaquin, and soon became a popular new star. He also won the Golden Bull Award for Best Actor and reached the peak of his life.
A very good start.
Unfortunately, because she was unwilling to accept Joaquin's arrangement to play those so-called "domineering president little girl" idol dramas, she was ignored for several years and her career fell into an unprecedented low.
This made Lu Yihong understand a lot of unspoken rules.
Although newly debuted artists may seem to become popular overnight and have countless fans, in fact, it is only because the company wants you to be popular. If they don’t want you to be popular, then you can only stay put...
Golden Bull Award-winning actor?
This name does seem very intimidating.
It feels very proud to say it out loud.
To be honest, after winning the award, Lu Yihong did feel inflated for a few days, thinking that he would be a rising star of Joaquin in the future.
A future big shot in the entertainment industry.
But later Lu Yihong understood!
It turns out that this award is just to deceive fans and other laymen...
Golden Bull Award?
hehe!
China's so-called Golden Bull Award has long been manipulated by large companies such as Joaquin and Tianyu.
Who will win the Best Actor award, who will win the Best Actress award and so on, these have basically been decided. As for the media reports and boasting, they are basically just there to show support.
At best, this award is just like a variety show.
In fact, it is nothing and has no sense of authority.
During those years of cold treatment, Lu Yihong did not lose heart. He kept honing his acting skills and improving his abilities, always wanting to prove himself.
But……
Unfortunately, at that time no one was willing to give him a chance to make a movie, let alone win an award.
So he could only wait.
until……
He met Lu Yuan.
Then, his career took on a second lease of life!
even……
He felt that he was about to prove himself.
When he first stepped into the Golden Rooster Awards last year and received a nomination for Best Actor, he felt something very unreal, and even felt that it was the first time he had come into such close contact with this authoritative award.
When the award ceremony was about to begin, his heart suddenly started beating inexplicably and many unrealistic thoughts popped up in his mind.
If he can win the Golden Rooster Award, then he has really proved himself!
He really achieved success through his own strength and acting skills.
pity……
He missed the Golden Rooster Award and the award was given to Lu Yuan.
He never expected...
A little disappointed.
Of course, although he felt a little disappointed, he was still happy for Lu Yuan. After all, Lu Yuan's acting skills in "The Wanderer" were obvious to all, and he was also remarkable in "Groundhog Day", while his own "The Man From Earth" did not have much acting skills in it...
So, it's normal to lose.
He did not lose heart and secretly decided to continue coming today!
Then this year's Golden Rooster Awards came again.
When he learned that he was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, he was extremely excited. However, after seeing the words "Lu Yuan", his excitement slowly began to change, and then...
It seemed as if he was shrouded in an indescribable shadow, which made him feel extremely complicated.
The inexplicable aura around Lu Yuan was so strong that no matter what important occasion he was in, Lu Yuan was always so dazzling.
Including the Oscars, including Spain's Goya Awards, including...
Anyway…
Lu Yuan seems to be a born protagonist.
But Lu Yihong and Lu Yuan are just the opposite.
She is the type of person who runs with you...
I was a runner-up last year.
This year……
I……
Should I just run with him?
He suddenly lost confidence again.
After all, A Yuan’s acting in “A Chinese Odyssey” is also very good. At the same time, the influence of “A Chinese Odyssey” is not inferior to “Assembly” at all. In fact, to some extent, “A Chinese Odyssey” is better than “Assembly”…
Moreover, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the first Chinese movie to break the 1 billion box office. In a sense, this really adds points to the Golden Rooster Awards.
The more he thought about it, the less confident Lu Yihong felt. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he would have to run as a runner-up again this year.
He felt very depressed.
"But! It's a good thing that Ayuan can win another award, isn't it? At least, the Best Actor Award is 'remotely' ours!" Lu Yihong clenched his fists tightly and then released them.
In the end, I felt sincerely happy for Lu Yuan.
At least……
This is also a shared honor.
At this moment...
The door opened.
"Not ready yet?"
"I'm ready."
"You have to behave well today. I have arranged Qin Ya to accompany you on the red carpet, okay? You should make your presence felt at that time. Although you have a certain status in the circle now, it never hurts to make your presence felt. At the same time, you have to help Qin Ya. Although Qin Ya is quite famous now, she still needs your guidance..." Xia Hong was arranging clothes for Lu Yihong. She looked very gentle, just like a wife advising her husband.
"Um...by the way, Xia Hong..." Lu Yihong's throat moved slightly, and he looked at Xia Hong with complicated expressions.
This woman has been with him since Joaquin.
them……
There was an agreement.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I think...if..." Lu Yihong suddenly wanted to say something.
"Don't say anything. I can't change what I said." Xia Hong looked at Lu Yihong, and her gentle expression disappeared in an instant: "You want to win the Best Actor award. This is just what you look forward to!"
"But this year's Best Actor nominee also has..."
"You've always wanted to prove yourself, and you've been working very hard. No matter who your opponent is, this is not your excuse, and you have no way out..." Xia Hong looked at Lu Yihong, her voice seemed very faint, as if all the tenderness just now was just an illusion.
"Yeah." Lu Yihong nodded. "What if I didn't..."
"No ifs!" Xia Hong stopped Lu Yihong from saying, "Okay, I still have things to do, I'm leaving first!"
"oh."
Lu Yihong silently looked at Xia Hong's back.
Then he continued to look at himself in the mirror.
I saw a few more white hairs.
Am I...
Are you really old?
Xia Hong paused for a moment as she walked out of Lu Yihong's office, a complex look flashing across her eyes.
She hopes that Lu Yihong's story has a happy ending.
This award is so important!
This is what he has wanted for so many years.
I dream about it.
The competition this year is indeed very fierce, but she doesn't want Lu Yihong to have any way out.
After giving so much, how can I give up halfway?
How can there be a way out?
Confidence can be lost, but fighting spirit must never be lost.
We must burn our boats and leave no room for retreat!
This is Lu Yihong’s obsession, and also Xia Hong’s obsession!
They all want to prove something.
…
In the dressing room.
Wu Tingting helped Fatty Wei dress up like a decent man and also helped Fatty Wei to have a slicked back hair.
Fatty Wei looked pretty good in the mirror.
June 5th was a very important moment for Fatty Wei.
Fatty Wei felt that this was a battle that must be won!
"You Are the One" naturally cannot compare with "Assembly" in terms of box office, and it is also not as popular as "Assembly" in all aspects.
But……
He doesn't think he is much worse than his father.
This time at the Golden Rooster Awards, he felt that he and his father were competing on the same level!
Moreover, this was the only time that he was able to defeat his father head-on!
If you fail this time, you will never have another chance.
after all……
"Assembly" may be my father's last work.
In the future, even if my box office is awesome and I surpass "Assembly", I won't be able to stand on the stage and compete with my father for the title of Best Director...
This is very realistic.
So he just wants to win!
Lu Yihong is obsessed with the best actor award, and similarly, Fatty Wei also has his own obsession.
Similarly, there is another person who wants to win, that is Shen Lianjie!
As for Shen Lianjie, he should not be underestimated!
After experiencing a low point, Shen Lianjie has regained his new life!
Although "Dream Travelers" has suffered a lot of criticism for inflating box office data and has not broken 1 billion, it has to be admitted that this "Dream Travelers" is not badly made and the data in many aspects have been carefully collected.
so……
Likewise, Shen Lianjie is also one of the strongest contenders for the Best Director award this time...
Of course, this is not the main reason. The most important reason why he wants to beat Shen Lianjie is that Shen Lianjie will bring his fiancée Liu Tingting to attend the awards ceremony.
Shen Lianjie's fiancée?
Yes!
She was the girl who abandoned Fatty Wei and ran away with Shen Lianjie.
Her name is Liu Tingting!
The only difference between her and Wu Tingting is their surname.
I have to say, this fate is really amazing.
When thinking of this, Wei Wuji was silent for a while, looking at Wu Tingting, who now looked less fat and more beautiful.
He smiled, very satisfied.
During the past six months, Fatty Wei is still as fat as ever, but Wu Tingting has lost 15 kilograms.
Wu Tingting used to look like a mountain of flesh, but now...
All right.
Although he looked a bit fat, he couldn't be described as a mountain of flesh...
Perhaps, the word plump is appropriate.
“Tingting…”
"What's wrong?"
"Please sit next to me at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony."
"Why?"
"I...I want to win!"
"To win?"
"Yes! This time, I want to win everything, and win back what I have lost, and what I have been unwilling to accept and resigned to all these years!" Fatty Wei held Wu Tingting's hand solemnly.
"What does this have to do with me?" Wu Tingting frowned and wanted to let go, but Fatty Wei held it very tightly.
"It does matter. My ex-girlfriend is going to accompany Shen Lianjie to the scene..."
"You want proof?"
"Um."
"Then you should find a younger and prettier girl to be by your side, and then tell Shen Lianjie that you are the winner!"
"Yeah, so, didn't I just look for you?"
“…”
"You are young and beautiful, and you are more capable and charming than my ex-girlfriend. Everything about you is much better than her! I suddenly feel very glad that my ex-girlfriend let me go... otherwise, I wouldn't have met you!" Fatty Wei took a deep breath.
He is no longer the bastard who was extremely poor, angry about his girlfriend being taken away, and who had no other choice but to run to the side of the "Capital City" crew and piss in the wind.
At the same time, he is not that unknown young man who knows nothing!
He is now the best director!
Truly the best director!
He is more awesome than Shen Lianjie and is a better director than him in every aspect.
“…”
Wu Tingting was stunned.
After looking at Fatty Wei's indescribable affectionate gaze, she didn't know what to say.
My nose feels sore.
seem……
Feel like crying?
…
Lu Yuan said he was very troubled.
"This dress doesn't look lively enough. No, let's change into something else..."
“…”
"This dress won't work either, change it."
“…”
"It's not bright enough and doesn't match his temperament. You still have to change it. Change it to something slightly lighter in color. Do you understand?"
“…”
Lu Yuan helplessly watched Wang Jinxue pick clothes for him.
After trying on pieces of clothing one by one, Lu Yuan felt helpless.
It's really troublesome for girls to choose clothes.
He could only sigh about these.
"Jinxue, I think forget it, this one is also pretty good."
"It doesn't count. Today is a day that everyone is paying attention to. You used to dress too casually, but today you can't dress too casually... By the way, Lu Yuan, do you like wearing glasses?"
"It's okay, I don't really like it either."
"Anyway, don't wear those ugly glasses anymore. Come on, try these glasses. I picked them especially for you."
"oh."
“…”
afternoon.
Around two o'clock.
When Lu Yuan walked out after putting on his outfit, he suddenly felt like he didn't recognize himself.
"He's much more handsome than before. Hmm, now he looks a bit like a young hunk." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan all over and nodded with satisfaction.
"Jinxue, what you said is totally wrong. I have always been very handsome, but I was very low-key. Now... I am a little too high-profile. Well, this makes me uncomfortable. After all, I have always been a low-key person." Lu Yuan touched his chin seriously and corrected Wang Jinxue's words.
"You seem to be so shameless and boastful, yet you seem quite high-profile." Wang Jinxue gave Lu Yuan a cold look, thinking that this man was just not a decent person.
"I never brag, really, I dare say that as long as I film a TV series about a domineering CEO and a little girl, the ratings will definitely explode!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Jinxue shook her head. "Get in the car, or it will be late."
"oh."
"Jinxue..."
"What's wrong?"
"I... to be honest, I'm a little nervous right now. I don't know why, but the closer I get to the awards ceremony, the more nervous I get..."
"You've participated in the Oscars, why are you nervous about this?"
"Tell me, what if I, what if..." Lu Yuan suddenly became embarrassed.
"What if? Don't worry, you have so many nominations, you won't return empty-handed."
"Actually, the other nominations don't matter. What if I win the Best Actor award again? I... I'm quite worried..." Lu Yuan's expression became more and more conflicted and embarrassed.
“…”
There was a sudden silence in the car.
Wang Jinxue’s expression froze for a moment.
My mood suddenly became complicated.
She even wanted to comfort Lu Yuan, but suddenly she wanted Lu Yuan to get off the car and walk away by herself.
Although, this sounds right.
but……
I don't know why I want to hit him?
…
June 5th.
The entire Chinese entertainment industry is watching this day.
When Lu Yuan got out of the car, all the reporters rushed over.
The red carpet walk hasn't started yet, but Lu Yuan's side is more lively than the red carpet walk!
After seeing this scene, several artists who had just stepped onto the red carpet had complicated expressions in their eyes.
They felt very uncomfortable.
Despite staying on the red carpet and performing a few moves.
but……
It seems a bit deserted.
I don’t know why…
They inexplicably felt a dark cloud suddenly coming from a distance and covering the sky.
This year's Golden Rooster Awards...
It's a bit cool.
Han Lu is here too.
Although he had few works and City Fortress had made him infamous, he still came.
He looked at Lu Yuan with a more complicated expression.
seem……
Some yearning.
