Chapter 247 Extra 5: Lin Huo and Song Han (Part 2)
Lin Huo was alone in the lounge, with his assistants waiting outside.
He also saw this post, read it for a while and found it very interesting, so he refreshed it several times.
There was a knock on the door, and the assistant quietly reminded the makeup artist that she was coming.
This time, not only was there an award ceremony, but he also had to walk the red carpet. He also had to dress appropriately: "Come in."
The makeup artist then came in and began to arrange the cosmetics in order, preparing to apply makeup.
After years of hard work, Lin Huo's artistic temperament has become increasingly apparent. His hair is a bit long, permed into artistic curls. He has a slight stubble on his face, trimmed in an artistic style.
Except when he was working, he spent most of his time feeling like he was keeping strangers away.
Because he was boycotted and attacked right after entering the industry, it really left a deep shadow. Although awards favored him, he rarely participated in directors' gatherings and only attended award ceremonies.
He had heard of Song Han's name a long time ago. He could always be on good terms with the big guys in the circle. To be frank, sometimes he envied him.
His ability to be versatile and skillful in dealing with people is worth learning from.
But he is living a comfortable life now and doesn't want to change.
Recently I heard that the feud between the two over awards was widely circulated on public accounts, and I heard that they have formed a CP combination?
The makeup artist finished. He looked in the mirror. He was handsome, with a touch of melancholy and artistic grace. "Thank you for your hard work," he nodded.
The makeup artist left quickly.
He was soon notified to walk the red carpet.
He arrived late and didn't really like this kind of grand occasion.
But since I'm here, I have to go ahead even if I don't like it.
Because he rarely appears in public, the cameras still favor him. He walked the red carpet quickly and signed autographs in one go.
Everyone in the live broadcast room burst into laughter: "Hahaha."
“This is going too fast.”
"Others take three minutes to walk, but he signs his name in less than 30 seconds."
"You can tell he doesn't like walking the red carpet anymore."
“His stride is even longer than it was last year.”
"When he walked over, the organizers were stunned. The next artist hadn't been scheduled yet."
"Hahahaha. The first funny scene has appeared. I'm already looking forward to the award ceremony later."
This is a broadcast across all platforms, so once you enter the venue you automatically enter the social networking space and can’t just hang out with your phone the whole time.
After sitting down, he greeted everyone.
He just doesn't like it, not that he is not good at it.
Song Han had walked in before him. He strode over, too, "I saw 'Small Town Test-Taker'. It was amazing! You shot it beautifully." That kind of warmth and healing is easy to describe, but it's incredibly difficult to capture with a wealth of visual language.
"Thank you. Your Skyfall is also very good. I watched it twice."
Song Han raised an eyebrow in surprise. They were all in the same circle, so he was naturally familiar with his personality. He didn't expect that he would also be interested in this kind of thing.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries. It was captured by the camera and posted online, and the couple's fans were ecstatic.
It soon entered the selection for the director award that everyone is most concerned about.
"The winner of this year's Golden Bear Award for Best Director is Lin Huo, director of 'Small Town Test-Taker'."
Lin Huo himself hadn't expected to win an award. He stood up, waved to everyone, then went on stage and gave a two-minute speech. Finally, he raised the trophy and waved it toward the camera.
On the big screen, the director cleverly cut to Song Han's face. He kept clapping, showing no sign of disappointment at having his award taken away. He even stood up and applauded after the big screen cut him off.
Song Han’s fans and a large number of netizens online are very dissatisfied.
"No way, you don't comment on what the masses like? You go against the masses every day, why don't you go to heaven?"
"No wonder Teacher Xiao Fen scolded me on stage for 30 minutes. The award was unfair."
"I heard that Skyfall has already started translation and will be released in over 30 countries and regions. This film is very much in line with international aesthetics. If it becomes a hit, how will you handle the Golden Bear?"
"Well... Song Han is such a decent man."
Everyone was outraged that he didn't win the award, and after the awards ceremony, Lin Huo's assistant didn't give him his phone. Lin Huo quickly realized what had happened.
I wanted to leave immediately after the meeting, but someone tripped me.
"Congratulations." The person who came was Song Han.
Although Lin Huo didn't think he had done anything wrong, he still felt a little awkward about winning the award while the other party didn't, and he was afraid that the other party would be unhappy.
Song Han was a shrewd man. He knew exactly what Lin Huo was thinking. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not that fragile." His carefree attitude was 80% genuine. All he cared about was money.
The box office is all that matters. Whether or not there are awards is just a side job.
Song Han naturally put his arm around Lin Huo's shoulder.
Lin Huo was still a little uncomfortable. Since he became a famous director, no one had been so close to him for a long time.
Just when he was focusing all his attention on Song Han's action, he was distracted by Song Han's words: "Everyone outside is hoping that we will fight. Do you think we should do something big?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I have a new project. How about we shoot it together? One part each." Even a director like Song Han needs collaboration to complete the project, which shows how big the pie in his hand is.
"Huh?" Lin Huo was surprised. He had never done this before except for tribute films. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't imagine what the effect would be if he really filmed it.
"I focus on the box office, and you focus on the content. 1+1 is greater than 2. Make a bold attempt. You've already won the award, and I'm not worried about the box office. We're still young, and we can't always be stuck in our comfort zone. Let's give the outside world a little shock. Even if it fails, we won't lose anything." He was coaxing.
Lin Huo knew that he was a person who liked to brag and make empty promises, but he was still shamelessly moved.
Since this film is finished, the next few scripts I've been offered are all similar, so I'm planning to take a long break. However, if there are any collaborative projects, I won't repeat myself.
Lin Or looked at him.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was loosening and seemed to have great hope, Song Han immediately took advantage of the situation and pressed on: "Then it's settled."
Lin He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Song Han was immediately happy.
After Lin Huo returned home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt like he had been tricked. He was about to send a message to politely express his regret, but the moment he picked up his phone, a new message popped up: "Lin Huo and Director Song Han have a film coming out together."
People online were scolding him before. Now, the topic suddenly changed: "Is it true?"
"Damn, the plot line is saved."
"Is this true?"
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
"It's like two celebrity chefs teaming up. Damn, I can't even imagine how good I'll be eating after the movie comes out."
This news was so explosive that reporters were already covering it. Sure enough, after the dinner, Song Han was treated like a celebrity as soon as he left the restaurant. "Director Song, there's talk online about you and Director Lin collaborating. Is that true?"
Song Han said, "First of all, I'd like to congratulate him on winning the Best Director award. In my heart, he's well-deserved. As for our collaboration, I've been planning this for years. We just never had the chance, but now that the opportunity is right, he agreed as soon as I mentioned it. He truly is my best friend in the industry."
Lin Huo, who was watching the live broadcast: ...
How come he doesn’t know that he is Song Han’s best friend in the circle?
Never mind. Since they've said so, let's cooperate.
He didn't have anything he wanted to shoot anyway, so it was okay to try something new!
