Chapter 108 International Superstar!
No one expected that such explosive news would come out on New Year's Day.
It was as if no one had ever imagined that the amateur who didn't even dare to look at the camera and couldn't even speak Mandarin could withstand the pressure and travel 2,000 kilometers. In the face of doubts, he still firmly said: "I want to act!"
Then climb up here step by step.
Half of the top trending searches are about Shu Ming’s name.
#Shumingold nomination#
#Youngest Chinese-speaking actor nominated for Gold
Of course, some confused passersby asked, "It's just a nomination, not an award. Why are you so happy?"
As for, why not?
Those who know a little bit more are almost going crazy with anxiety, just about grabbing their collars and shoving the popular science in their faces - do you know when was the last time a Chinese actor was nominated for a Gold Award?
It was thirty years ago!!
Do you know what thirty years means?
Countless actors have no choice but to let their youth slip away, countless famous directors have been rejected by the international market, and film practitioners have been replaced one after another, but they can only "sigh in despair."
Regardless of whether Shu Ming wins the award or not, it is equivalent to setting a precedent for all Chinese-speaking actors at Gold Award, and everyone will have an easier time in the future.
"This is a bit scary because of its high gold content..."
"I can't imagine how happy Shu fans are. If I were you, I'd probably be dead. From now on, you can walk around with your death-proof golden medal in your hand."
"Where are the first generation of stock buyers? Did you ever think there would be such a day?"
"The first generation of fans are here. Back then, I just hoped that my child would not quit the circle. I accepted whatever happened to him, but I never thought that my child would be so successful."
"My eyes are already wrinkled early in the morning..."
"Some people, at twenty, are the staring, gaping male leads in cheesy period dramas, or the hilarious clowns on popular variety shows, constantly needing fans to clean up their messes. Others, at twenty, have received Best Actor nominations at the top three film festivals..."
"Stop cursing! I'm just shedding humble tears..."
"Does anyone still remember the JG Awards? You weren't even willing to give the Best Newcomer award to S. Now, there are plenty of people vying for the award you didn't give it to."
"Garbage Golden Osmanthus, no one cares"
“No one cares…”
“No one cares +1”
"Oh my god, someone please check out Jingui's official Weibo account. Just to give you some information, they're having a seminar lately, and normally, they have a scheduled Weibo post every morning at 10 a.m. But they were silent today... Such an eerie silence... Please don't be so silent, brother. Please post something and open a comment section!"
…
There are constant disturbances on the Internet, but that is Guan Xianyi's concern.
The cell phone in Shu Ming's hand was vibrating.
If a small number of people sent him messages on the night of Jingui's defeat, then the number of messages now is doubled, doubled, and doubled again.
He was so stuck that he couldn't open any software at all. In the end, he simply turned off his phone to have some peace and quiet.
The wheels rolled over the cement road, asphalt road, and dirt road in the countryside... and finally stopped steadily in front of a familiar red courtyard gate.
The double door was half open. Zhuang Yan exhaled a breath of misty air and stood outside the door looking into the distance.
Shu Ming leaned against the car window and fluttered his eyelashes.
In just a moment, tears rolled down my cheeks.
**
In early January, Shu Ming finalized the donation to Wenhe City.
He did not publicize this matter, but rushed back to Hong Kong overnight to continue reading.
The main character was so low-key, and the online public opinion gradually cooled down. Then, the filming of "Far Away" was transferred to S City, and Shu fans also began to shift the battlefield and do their best to help lay the groundwork for publicity.
Shu Ming wasn't the only one to have learned his lesson after winning the Golden Osmanthus Award. His fans, too, have learned their lesson, repeatedly encouraging one another: "This kind of international award is already difficult to win, and for a child to be nominated is an honor that comes only once in decades. Don't put too much pressure on him."
Every day, fans send me emails, saying, "Don't be too stressed. We are already very proud of you!"
So Shu Ming and Qiao Minxue talked about this matter, and their mentality was very calm: "Actually... I think the chances of getting it are not very high."
The reason he was nominated this time was entirely due to O'Gilman's halo.
O'Gilman was originally a frequent visitor of Gold's. Although this film was not intended to win awards, the director's skills are there.
In addition, he worked hard and the entire film was written in the native language of country S - if the entire film was in Chinese, he might not have had a chance.
All I can say is that it was luck that gave him such a halo. Even if he didn't win any award, he could actually accept it.
After all, this is a completely different situation from Jingui's.
Qiao Minxue sighed.
Alas, his original intention of talking to Shu Ming was to let this kid be humble and proceed step by step...but he was too cautious!
Giving you this international nomination is not for you to be so self-deprecating!
Is this what you should be thinking at your age?
He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just patted Shu Ming on the shoulder and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Shu Ming is going to attend the Gold Film Festival in early February. This is something everyone knows and it is not a secret.
"Isn't New Year's Eve next week? I'll go home for two days, then leave on the second day of the Lunar New Year. I'll just be back to work when Gold finishes."
Ha, no need to ask for a day off, even Chen Mi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Shu Ming was a little emotional when he talked about this. He stayed at home for the entire Spring Festival last year, and this year he almost couldn't even go home for New Year's Eve.
However, even without the Gold Film Festival, Shu Ming couldn't go back. After all, there was still a movie called "Chang'an Embers" that was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, right?
It can only be said that it is a one-for-one exchange. It seems that he is destined to spend this year's Spring Festival with the company of movies... Liang Ruwen is very happy because he thought he would not be able to see his lover during the entire Spring Festival. Now, he will accompany her the whole time!
This is what Liang Ruowen thought, and of course, this is what he proposed.
At that time, the young couple in the sweltering love were enjoying their precious time alone. Shu Ming relaxed and became more willful in front of people he trusted. After two glasses of sweet wine, his cheeks immediately flushed and his eyes sparkled.
So cute.
Liang Ruwen tried to soften her voice, lowered her head, and nuzzled her boyfriend's nose, asking for his opinion: "Is this okay?"
Shu Ming acquiesced.
Country S has some special significance, not to mention that this is his first film nomination. Shu Ming would be very happy if his brother and lover could accompany him to witness this milestone award ceremony.
The team going to Gode was thus decided.
It seems that we don’t need to meet during the entire Spring Festival.
Qiao Minxue had decided to pack up some lucky money for Shu Ming in advance. He truly loved this child, so with a heart full of love and care, he gave Shu Ming many detailed instructions and then asked, "...are you ready for the costumes and everything?"
The Godd Film Festival is not like other film festivals.
Some film festivals have red carpets that anyone can walk on, but Gold’s red carpet is only for members of the nominated film crew, making it one of the most prestigious red carpets.
No matter what the final result is, it is finally possible to have an Asian face appear on the red carpet of Country S. This is a symbol of going abroad, and the proper attention should be given.
There is no doubt that this guy has represented the image of Chinese-speaking actors since the moment he stepped onto the red carpet!
So, every day Guan Xianyi was like choosing a concubine, picking and choosing from the clothes that were sent by various brands, and his eyes were almost dazzled!
In the past, Guan Xianyi used her connections to secure luxury brand endorsements for Shu Ming. To do this, she had to attend countless social events and maintain countless relationships.
Now, she's sitting comfortably at home, while these luxury brands are begging her for a chance to show up.
The reason is simple: if Shu Ming could wear his own clothes to the red carpet of Gold, I can't imagine how much exposure and glory this would bring to the brand.
A sure-win business!
All parties were desperate to win Shu Ming's favor. Endorsement offers came pouring in, but Shu Ming always had his own ideas.
"I was nominated for the role of X, so I should dress in a way that suits the character. Sister Xianyi, can you help me pick out a few retro suits to try on?"
As for the other accessories, he plans to wear the brooch that Leo Leung gave him, and the watch is a brand he has always endorsed.
So be it, no matter what outcome fate gives him, he is ready.
**
February in the southern hemisphere is the end of summer.
After attending the festival in person, Shu Ming discovered that the festival was not as glamorous as outsiders thought - in general, it was a hectic mess.
On the evening of the opening ceremony, the red carpet was on the ground floor. The staff was struggling to maintain some order, but thanks to the presence of Ojiman, a regular customer, nothing went wrong.
The moment I stepped onto the red carpet, I was bombarded with cameras and flashes of light, so bright that I couldn't open my eyes.
And then? And then it was over, just a few minutes.
Shu Ming couldn't care less about all this; he was nearly going crazy with work! Besides, there were still many things to do later:
For example, at the premiere of "Poems of Frederick", he himself had not yet seen the entire film; for example, at the film's press conference, many reporters were already waiting for them.
After the parties left in the country got Shu Mingliang's photos, there was another surge in hot searches, and he managed to break through the siege among the entries related to the Spring Festival Gala.
Everyone was celebrating the festival, all the while thinking about God, and Shu Ming did not disappoint their expectations at all, his performance was too outstanding.
After all, even surrounded by many international superstars, this kid can be considered a shining star!
What is starlight?
Even in the vast crowd, you can only look at him, can only lock onto him at a glance, can only be attracted by his beauty, and have no time to think about anything else!
He is so familiar with the camera that playing with and controlling it has become an instinct in Shu Ming's body.
Whether it is his perfect shoulders and neck that are infinitely tending towards maturity like an ancient Greek sculpture; or his powerful waist and abdomen wrapped tightly by a suit; or his extremely superior bone structure, all of these make Shu Ming stand out even in the descriptions of foreign media.
She is a shining new star on the red carpet!
Chinese actors don't appear in public often, but when they do, they are so stunning. It's really an honor, isn't it?
After this, not to mention the die-hard fans, even the casual fans were about to burst into laughter.
There is nothing we can do. The child is just so competitive and is recognized internationally as handsome and talented. What can we do?
Not satisfied? Ask your brother to go up there too!
Hey, why aren't you replying? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I can't afford to play with you...
The subsequent related information is even more surprising!
There are currently no plans to release "Frederi's Poem" in China - essentially, the Chinese market is not very receptive to this type of film.
So everyone can only wait for the battle reports from the fans who registered for the Gold Film Festival, as well as the press conference interview videos from abroad.
But no one has ever said that Shu Ming not only speaks the official language of country S, but also speaks authentic English!
Shu Ming: Thank you Director Chen Mi for requiring the class to be taught in English.
"But he's really handsome. Speaking other languages gives me a different style. I never knew S's voice could be so magnetic and sexy... The way his chest vibrated when he smiled and replied to the reporter, oh my god, he's so handsome I almost fainted!"
"S has really grown up. In my heart, I always feel like he's still eighteen years old..."
"Actually, S is only twenty years old. He may have experienced a lot, so he matured faster."
Anyway, some random things are reported very diligently.
Okiman said, "Half of the director's credit should go to Shu Ming, and a quarter of the film's storyboards were Shu Ming's ideas." There was also the story about the two of them hugging intimately, indicating a close relationship. There was also the story about the other famous directors extending olive branches to Shu Ming...
Ah, the last one is worth reporting.
But what is the movie about?
This name is so artistic, it doesn't really tell me anything, okay? Can someone help me analyze the chances of winning?
But everyone who saw it was exceptionally silent.
Although there are film reviews online, they are either full of nonsense or very abstract, which makes everyone in China very anxious.
It's okay, it's okay. You get used to it after a while. Just a couple more days of rushing and you can watch the awards ceremony straight away.
hey-hey.
