(The previous text has been revised, and Zhou Jin should be nominated for the Best Newcomer Award and Best Supporting Actor.) ）

Liu Sisi still didn't go to the Academy Awards in the end.

As an artist, especially a female artist, in addition to filming, she also has to give interviews and take photos for various fashion magazines.

Although Liu Sisi didn't care about these at all, it was not good to refuse the job Cai Yirong arranged for her.

So in mid-April, Zhou Jin and the bald brother got their visas and went straight to Xiangjiang.

When they got off the plane, it was already evening, and as soon as they left the airport, they were instantly surrounded by a hot and humid wave.

Zhou Jin wiped the fine sweat on his head, looked at the sweaters on the two of them, and then looked at the thighs and short skirts in the crowd, inexplicably there was a sense of two forced buns entering the city.

"I told you that it's hot here, but you still don't believe it," the bald brother said with his luggage, "Fortunately, I brought summer clothes." ”

Zhou Jin didn't dare to fight back, and silently followed him into a taxi.

No way, who let him go to the southernmost places, which are Zhejiang Province and Shu Province.

As a result, in the eyes of Xiangjiang, Hi (four sounds), all of them are in the north.

The Academy Awards have been held for 30 years at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, and Su Zhaobin booked a hotel nearby.

It didn't take long for the taxi to arrive at the place, and Su Zhaobin excitedly ran out to greet him, "It's been hard all the way, how do you feel?"

Zhou Jin smiled: "It feels like it's so crowded." ”

Xiangjiang is every inch of land, everything is narrow, between the buildings, I can't wait to connect together, people come and go, I feel very crowded.

"Who asked you this, I asked you about winning the award," Su Zhaobin led him to the room, "Do you have confidence this time?"

"What do you say," Zhou Jin said indifferently: "Anyway, I'm here to open my eyes, and I don't have any hope." ”

"Don't be so pessimistic," Su Zhaobin had great hopes.

This time, "Rain of Swords" won a total of 12 nominations, and Su Zhaobin was so excited that he was going crazy.

In the actor awards, only Zhou Jin was nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor, but what really has weight is Best Picture and Best Director.

Su Zhaobin directed for the first time, and he was able to get these two nominations at once, so he couldn't help but be excited.

On April 17, the weather was a bit overcast, and it rained in the evening.

Zhou Jin was dressed in a black suit, standing as tall as an aspen, and walked into the cultural center with Su Zhaobin.

The first thing I saw was a gorgeous red carpet avenue, and there were many small sheds on both sides of the red carpet.

The one on the right takes pictures of the media and reporters, and the one on the left is a huge poster for the guests to sign and be interviewed by the way.

There are no special rules for the red carpet show at the Academy Awards, whoever arrives will come up and go, no need to wait for the crew, and there is no coffee position.

"Now it's Huang Baiming, and Angelababy ......," a hostess introduced in Cantonese.

Zhou Jin was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't understand Cantonese, but Angelababy was very familiar, angel baby.

Could it be that the big baby is also nominated?

"It's our turn," Su Zhaobin touched his arm.

"Oh good," Zhou Jin straightened his suit, took a step, and walked on the red carpet with his head held high.

Su Zhaobin hurriedly trotted to keep up, and his heart was stumped, his legs were amazing?

Magic capital, Cai Yirong's house.

Liu Sisi came back from work in the morning, took a shower and changed into pajamas, sat down in front of the computer, and refreshed Bai Lang's graphic broadcast over and over again.

"Why are you in such a hurry, the award ceremony is going to be in the evening, it's still early," Cai Yirong sucked a bottle of yogurt and swayed it behind her back.

"It's good to watch the red carpet show," Liu Sisi looked up at Cai Yirong's yogurt, a little greedy, "I want to drink it too." ”

"Take it yourself," Cai Yirong patted her.

"Oh," Liu Sisi kicked the cloth slippers and trotted to get the yogurt.

Cai Yirong shook her head helplessly, sat down in front of the computer, and just saw a new picture and text posted.

"Ahhh~" she let out a scream.

"Are you out?

"Not yet, it's Deng Chao now," Cai Yirong continued to snort and suckle on the yogurt.

"Then why are you so excited? Deng Chao is the first time to see her?" Liu Sisi glanced at her and moved another chair over.

"Na, look behind him for yourself," Cai Yirong pointed to the screen and looked at Liu Sisi playfully.

Liu Sisi leaned over to take a look, and only then did he find the familiar figure behind the slippery Deng Chao.

Is he going to sign the poster?

"As long as there is a blank place, you can ......" In front of the red carpet, the hostess saw that Zhou Jin was slow to write, and reminded in Mandarin.

"Oh, okay," Zhou Jin chuckled, took a marker pen on the poster, and signed his name.

He didn't have any scruples, he just wanted to find the autographs of those big names, Fa Ge, Viagra, but unfortunately he didn't see any of them.

"Hey, don't go, don't go," the hostess named Coco stopped Zhou Jin and handed the microphone to Zhou Jin, "It's your first time coming to our Academy Awards, right?

"Uh, I'm very happy, I'm honored," Zhou Jin said briefly.

I have to say that the atmosphere of the Academy Awards is particularly well rendered.

The solemn music, the filmmakers who came and went, and those enthusiastic reporters all made Zhou Jin, who came to this occasion for the first time, a little excited.

"We know you've got two nominations," Coco said in Mandarin, "one for Best Supporting Actor, one for Best Newcomer, are you confident?"

Zhou Jin took the microphone, "It's okay to play, and it's good to have a long experience." ”

"Really?" Coco was still surprised, "As a newcomer, you played very well in "Rain of Swords", I like that character very much, won't I really want to win the award?"

"Thank you, everyone played very well, I am fortunate to have it, and I have lost my life. ”

"Okay, whether you win the prize or not, I wish you a good night, and of course, I wish you the prize. ”

"Thank you. ”

......

"Happy, are you, satisfied, have you waited for so long," Cai Yirong hugged Liu Sisi from behind, "Hey, when did you two have such a good relationship?"

"No, aren't you happy? That's the Academy Awards," Liu Sisi rolled his eyes and decisively changed the topic, "When you were in Xiangjiang before, did you go to the Academy Awards?"

"I've been, why haven't I been," Cai Yirong was an entertainer when she was in Xiangjiang, and the biggest event in the film industry every year is the Academy Awards.

At that time, the Academy Awards produced 400 movies every year, Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Runfa, Liang Chaowei, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, etc., that was the real star-studded and prosperous.

In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, she is no longer the young little Yuji, and the Academy Awards have begun to grow old.

Thinking of these, Cai Yirong was inexplicably a little melancholy.

Liu Sisi peeked at her expression, and knew that he had successfully changed the topic, so he jumped a little.

She doesn't plan to make Zhou Jin and her public for the time being.

For no particular reason, I don't think it's time.

......

On the other side, after Zhou Jin entered, he followed Su Zhaobin to find a seat for the crew and took a seat directly.

"Rain of Swords" has a total of 12 nominations, like best cinematography and best action design, so a lot of staff came.

In addition to Su Zhaobin, Zhou Jin didn't know them very well, so he played with his mobile phone by himself.

In 11 years, it was the time when "Breaking the Sky" was serialized, although he had given up writing the mind, but it was still possible to pass the time.

After a while, the venue suddenly became agitated, Zhou Jin looked back curiously, it turned out to be Fa Ge and his wife entering the venue, and everyone got up to greet each other.

"I didn't expect that Fa Ge would come in person," Su Zhaobin muttered.

"What's the matter, didn't he get the nomination for the best actor?" Zhou Jin said casually.

Su Zhaobin said: "Everyone knows that it is for Xie Tingfeng, and if Brother Fa can come, he has already given enough face." ”

Zhou Jin shrugged, unconcerned.

After waiting for those veteran stars to take their seats, the Academy Awards can be regarded as the beginning.

After a short video, Guan Shuyi and Xie Anqi stood on the stage with the microphone and sang "Like Water" and "Love of the Year".

On the big screen, we also began to review the award-winning clips of the past years, such as "Infernal Affairs" and "The True Color of Heroes", and also inserted unforgettable moments of the speeches of the previous winners.

There are Maggie Cheung, Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Zhiwei, Hui Yinghong, etc., and even the scene of the deceased Anita Mui laughing.

It's all tinged with a lot of nostalgia.

Zhou Jin turned his head around curiously and found that some older filmmakers had secretly wiped the corners of their eyes.

They are nostalgic for that glorious era.

But nostalgia often means loss.

The Academy Awards are in decline.

In the Chinese film industry, there has always been a saying that the Golden Rooster, the Golden Horse, and the Golden Statue stand on their own, and the most prestigious of them is the Academy Awards.

It's a pity that the Academy Awards, which should embrace the entire Chinese film, stubbornly believe that the Academy Awards are regional awards, rather than a Chinese film festival, and engage in regional protection.

This was okay when Hong Kong films were glorious, but later Hong Kong films gradually declined, and a large number of filmmakers went north to develop and work for the box office.

The so-called Xiangjiang films have also been gradually replaced by joint venture films, and "Sword Rain" and "Tongtian Empire" have also come from this.

So now, who else can the Academy Awards be awarded?

A single "Rain of Swords" has won 12 nominations, not so much how good "Rain of Swords" is, but rather that the Academy Awards can no longer find enough movies to support its influence.

No matter how much nostalgia there is, then sighing, what's the use?

As is customary, the first award to be presented is the Best Newcomer Award, and the guests are Wang Jing and Xu Anhua.

"Hey, hey, it's your turn," Su Zhaobin poked Zhou Jin with his elbow and reminded him to stop playing with his phone.

"Oh," Zhou Jin put away his phone unsatisfactorily and made a serious look.

It's impossible to win the prize, and I can't understand Cantonese, so I have to pass the time.

"Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you don't get it, there will be a chance in the future," Su Zhaobin said with relief.

Zhou Jin smiled at him, where do you see that I'm nervous?

While the two of them were chatting, Wang Fatzi had already chattered a lot on stage, and finally got to the point, and a review of the nominated movies appeared on the big screen:

"Jing Boran, "The Whole City is in Love"

"Du Yuhang, "Ip Man 2"

“......”

"Zhou Jin, "Rain of Swords"

Then, the grinning Xu Anhua opened the envelope, "Winner, follow ~"

Oh, Zhou Jin took out his phone, lowered his head and continued.

The applause rang out below, and the lens of the camera was also turned over, Su Zhaobin was about to go crazy, and snatched the phone, "You won the award!"

"But she didn't call me by name?" Zhou Jin was still a little confused.

"Damn, people speak Cantonese!"

Zhou Jin came back to his senses, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he smiled embarrassedly, squeezed through the long seat, and walked quickly onto the stage.

"Congratulations," Xu Anhua was a very cute old lady, and after congratulating her in awkward Mandarin, she handed the trophy to Zhou Jin.

"Thank you, thank you," Zhou Jin bowed repeatedly.

After that, Wang Fatzi and Xu Anhua stepped aside, and Zhou Jin took the trophy and suddenly felt a little at a loss in front of the audience.

Damn, I didn't prepare an acceptance speech.

"Uh, thank you," Zhou Jin smiled embarrassedly, and then bowed to the end.

He didn't want to say some clichés, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Actually, I became an actor by mistake, and the main purpose of filming is also to make money, but I really didn't expect to win this award." ”

There was a burst of laughter at the bottom, is this mainland boy so straightforward?

There must be a lot of people who have this kind of idea about him, but Zhou Jin is probably the first one who dares to say it on this stage.

Du Yuhang pouted disdainfully, God knows how much he paid for "Ip Man", and he was happy to get the nomination, but he was robbed by this guy.

Why did the mainland boy win this award?

Deng Chao applauded with interest, in his opinion, among the newcomer nominations, Zhou Jin was really the most top-notch.

Peng Guanqi, Du Yuhang, Chen Hanren, hehehe...... is either facial paralysis or pompous, and the reason why you can get the nomination is because there are no other newcomers at the Academy Awards.

The only thing with a little aura is Jing Boran, but unfortunately he is still a little immature.

Zhou Jin didn't know what other people thought on stage, and continued: "I still want to thank the Academy Awards for recognizing me, which makes me feel that in addition to making money, being an actor may have some unexpected gains." ”

"By the way, make a movie...... Well, it's actually quite an interesting thing, thank you, thank you. ”

In the end, Zhou Jin said it seriously, he was like a budding newcomer, he plunged into the film and television industry, and he didn't love movies, he just thought it was interesting.

However, there are really not many things in this world that can make him find interesting and willing to put his energy into it.

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, there was another round of applause at the bottom, in addition to politeness, there was also a little more sincerity.

Some old actors were in a trance and saw their younger selves.

Liang Chaowei quietly asked the people around him: "What's his name?"

"It seems to be Zhou Jin from the mainland. ”

Liang Chaowei nodded slightly and wrote it down.

......

Zhou Jin won the Best Newcomer Award, and the most excited was not him, but Su Zhaobin.

He felt that Zhou Jin had made a good start to "Rain of Swords".

There are eleven more nominations.

All the results were unsuccessful.

At the end of the award ceremony, Su Zhaobin was confused, and he was paralyzed on the chair and couldn't walk.

Zhou Jin finally helped him up, "Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if you don't get it, there will be a chance in the future." ”

Okay, what Su Zhaobin said to him was returned intact.

"Thank you...... Thank you. Su Zhaobin smiled reluctantly and was helped out by Zhou Jin.

No one expected that only one of the 12 nominations for "Rain of Swords" was won, and it was the most invaluable one.

(In real time and space, "Rain of Swords" has 11 nominations, all of which hit the streets.) ）

The best action design was given to Hong Jinbao, and Su Zhaobin recognized.

The best director was given to Xu Laowei, and Su Zhaobin was served.

Can the best picture be given to "Fighting in the Ring" by Mao?

Is it just because it's nostalgic?

"What bullshit reason," Su Zhaobin scolded, broke free of Zhou Jin, and ran away by himself.

"Congratulations," Tang Wei, who was dressed in an evening dress, came out just in time to see Zhou Jin and waved his hand at him.

"Thank you," Zhou Jin thanked with a smile.

Tonight, there are not many mainland actors who have been nominated, and Tang Wei is also one of them, she was nominated for Best Actress, but in the end she lost to Liu Jialing.

Liu Jialing's acting skills are needless to say, but she really doesn't have many roles in "Tongtian Empire".

- The reason for winning the award is self-evident.

In other words, Zhou Jin was the only one who stood on the stage and said his acceptance speech in Mandarin.

The more than three hours of the Academy Awards finally ended, the rain did not stop, and the originally hot Xiangjiang was actually a little cold at this time.

Just like this long rainy night, after 30 years of Xiangjiang Films, I am afraid it will be difficult to regain the glory of the past.

So it can only be crazy nostalgia.

But for the entire Chinese movie, everything is in the ascendant.

Zhou Jin tightened his clothes, sandwiched the last afterglow of the Academy Awards, and walked towards a new beginning.
