Chapter 142: Academy Awards
A Buick car was parked at the door of the hotel, and when he saw He Xin coming out, the window glass was slowly lowered, and Jiang Shan, who was sitting in the cab, beckoned to him: "Xiaohe, I'll take you to the airport." β
He Xin hurriedly said: "No need Sister Shan, it's convenient for me to call a taxi." β
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going home today, just in time to drop you off. β
"Yo, that's a coincidence!"
The cargo hurriedly got into the car.
The two are now very familiar with each other, and he knows that Jiang Shan has to go home every three or five days, mainly because the child is still young, although she has a family with her, she is still not very relieved, and she will go back to see the child when she is free.
After getting along for a long time, he also got to know Jiang Shan a lot. Don't look at Jiang Shandu is already thirty-five, sometimes she is really naΓ―ve, as for her personality, as Shi Zhaoqi said, she is somewhat squeamish.
This probably has something to do with her upbringing, her family is good, her father was the director of the literature department of Beijing Film Studio, you must know that it will be the era of the screenwriter-centered system, as the director of the literature department of the largest film studio in China, her status in the circle is no less than that of the current big director.
was successfully admitted to Chinese opera, and Hu Jun and Xu Fan were classmates, and they were the first to be famous in the class. Soon after graduation, he became popular with half the sky, and then he reaped love very smoothly.
The journey was smooth, she did not encounter any ups and downs, and this divorce from her husband should be the biggest hurdle in her life.
And it's strange that she doesn't have any friends. For example, she knew that He Xin and Hu Jun had collaborated on "Lan Yu", but she had never heard her mention this former classmate. Including Xu Fan, who also went to the Academy Awards ceremony this time, on the way to the airport, she didn't even mention it as if she didn't know.
The two just talked about some trivial things, and what she said the most was her daughter, and only when she talked about her daughter, would she have a real, heartfelt smile on her face.
"Bye-bye, I wish you a prize!" Jiang Shan waved goodbye to him in the car.
"Thank you, you won the award, I invite you to dinner!" He Xin also smiled and waved to her.
Although everyone wished him an award, in fact, he knew in his heart that his chances of winning this time were really small.
Not to mention that he lost to Hu Jun as the vane of the Golden Bauhinia Award of the Academy Awards, let's just say that the five shortlisted candidates this time, Zhou Xingchi, Andy Lau, Brother Xueyou, Hu Jun, and him.
As early as half a month ago, the Hong Kong media began to warm up for the award ceremony of the Academy Awards. Daily headlines, large color photos, in front of and behind the scenes, tidbits and secrets, full of all kinds of newspapers. Especially the prediction of the actor and actress candidates that readers are most concerned about, the firepower of reporters is also focused here.
Andy Lau has the most fans, Zhou Xingchi has the widest audience, and Brother Xueyou is one of the four kings, Hu Jun Golden Bauhinia Award actor.
Although He Xin still has the title of Golden Horse Award actor, it is just a title. In contrast, their homegrown Golden Bauhinia Awards are more popular and favored by local professionals.
And Hu Jun is working hard in Hong Kong at this time, and in the Hong Kong film industry, he can be regarded as half of his own person.
It is said that not long ago, the famous director Chen Kexin was asked by a reporter about this at the Asian Film Exchange Conference, and he said with a big grin: "The performances of Zhou Xingchi and Andy Lau have not surpassed the level of their previous masterpieces, and they are not even as good as before." On the other hand, the performance of the new Golden Bauhinia Award actor Hu Jun is relaxed and wonderful, and he is the most hopeful to win the award!"
As for who He Xin is, there is little mention in the media. If you go to the streets of Hong Kong for interviews, I'm afraid that more than 90% of people will only remember the new brother played by Andy Lau in "Las Vegas Tycoon"!
Even Sister Hong, who has always been optimistic, had to admit on the phone that the awards ceremony was not optimistic not long after she went to Hong Kong. If you want to look forward to an upset like last year's Golden Horse Awards, if you look at the awards of the first 20 Academy Awards, you will find that this probability is almost non-existent.
Because there are very few flights from Shijiazhuang to Hong Kong, only two flights a week, and they are all in the afternoon, He Xin can only fly to Shenzhen first, and then go to Huanggang Port to pass customs.
The road was bumpy, and when he stepped on the land of Hong Kong, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and Sister Hong was waiting anxiously outside.
"Sister Hong, this car is ......"
He Xin couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Sister Hong brought a Mercedes-Benz, and the driver was wearing a straight uniform, wearing a hat, and politely helping you open the door.
"The car is rented by the hotel, hurry up. β
Sister Hong and the others were anxious, and they inevitably spoke with a little anger, and after getting in the car, they were still talking to him: "The next time you encounter this situation, you must arrive early, otherwise the time is too tight, I am really afraid that the flight will be delayed and the business will be delayed." β
In the first few years, the punctuality rate of flights was very low, and today He Xin was lucky, and the flight took off less than half an hour later. If he was a little nervous when he participated in the Golden Horse Awards last time, this time his mind is completely relaxed.
On the one hand, Sister Hong fed back the news after arriving in Hong Kong, and felt that her hope of winning the award was very slim; on the other hand, he checked on the Internet, and among the winners of the first 20 awards and actresses, only the fourth actress was won by Grandma Siqin Gaowa of "My Filial Piety", and the rest were all locals.
So he didn't dare to have any illusions, he just came to join in the fun, in Sister Hong's words, he was familiar with his face and raised his value.
"Where are we staying?"
The Mercedes-Benz was very spacious, He Xin leaned comfortably on the back of the leather seat, took the water handed over by Sister Hong, took a sip and asked casually.
"The Peninsula. β
"Wow, such a luxury!" The thing suddenly looked surprised, and there was a faint pain.
Chang Jihong looked at his expression and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the company will reimburse you this time." The peninsula is right on the edge of the cultural center, just a few steps away. β
"I'm not considered a member of the company, am I?"
Chang Jihong now has five or six artists under his hands, but only Jiang Wenli has signed a personal contract with him, strictly speaking, he has nothing to do with Haiyu Company.
"But after all, you are still representing the company this time, Mr. Liu is not a stingy person. β
Sister Hong means that Haiyu Company also wants to take this opportunity to rub a hot spot or something, so as to expand the company's popularity.
He Xin has no opinion on this, after all, Haiyu Company takes care of him, and he can save money.
"Sister Hong, find a place for me to eat something first. β
He had eaten something on the plane, and he was already hungry.
Chang Jihong raised his wrist and looked at the time, frowned, and said, "You can bear with it again, let's eat it again at the hotel." β
It took almost an hour to get from Huanggang Port to The Peninsula in Tsim Sha Tsui, and it was only two hours before the red carpet for the awards ceremony at 7pm.
This time, the company was very generous, and arranged a sea-view suite at the Peninsula Hotel, with a huge glass window outside Victoria Bay and a high-rise Hong Kong Island opposite.
"Wow! that's beautiful!" he sighed looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, "I really want to stay here for a few more days." β
Chang Jihong heard his emotion, and while helping him pack the dress he brought over, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's okay to stay for a few more days, but do you have time?"
"Uh......"
"Don't grind, you go take a shower first, and I'll help you get something up." β
There was a la carte menu in the room, He Xin flipped through it, and the prices on it were staggeringly expensive, just a bowl of beef noodles cost more than 200 Hong Kong dollars.
Although he could be reimbursed, he was too embarrassed to go too far, so he ordered a bowl of beef noodles.
......
"Hey, the guy is so handsome today!"
As soon as they met, Hu Jun shouted.
Although the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, where the awards ceremony was held, was just one street away from the Peninsula Hotel, and the fans gathered on both sides of the street below could be seen through the windows of his room, as a crew, he still had to go with the crew.
Guan Jinpeng specially rented an extended luxury car, and there was more than enough space for five people to sit in the car.
Lao Guan, Hu Jun, and producer Daniel Zhang, who also came from the mainland this time, all wore traditional black dresses and black bow ties. And He Xin's navy blue suit is particularly different.
And because of his recent weight gain, his figure is much burder than before, coupled with his flat head, the whole person looks quite imposing.
"Hey, Su Jin, you will go with Ah Xin later, and the three of us will follow. Guan Jinpeng also joined in the fun.
The old concern is very pleasant, "Lan Yu" has received ten nominations, and tonight is enough to make people look forward to the results.
"That's right, you two are wearing the right ones today, and we all wear black suits, so we'll follow you as bodyguards. Hu Jun laughed.
Su Jin's clothes today are matched by Zhang Shuping, a white bandeau dress. She was originally a model, she was very tall, and this dress was worn on her body, which made her more slender and dignified.
Su Jin deliberately held He Xin's arm and said with a smile: "I also think Ah Xin is very handsome today!"
She was six years older than He Xin, and she was married early, without any twisting or embarrassment.
The car turned a corner along Salisbury Road and slowly entered the square in front of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
In any case, the Academy Awards do have its pride, there is no Hualien Golden Horse cottage here, the Golden Bauhinia is deserted, and the scene is extremely lively.
