The journey was very smooth, there were no waves, and I didn't encounter anything else except for a few fans who wanted to sign autographs.

However, Zhang Kui's mood didn't seem to be very good along the way, and he kept drooping his face.

"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong? Aren't you happy that you have been nominated for Best Director again this time?" Cheng Guochao couldn't help it and asked.

Zhang Kui said with a bitter face: "Director Cheng, don't mention it, I feel uncomfortable when I mention this." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Guochao didn't quite understand.

"Hey, I'm sure I don't have any hope of winning the prize this time, but you have a lot of hope this time. Zhang Kui said.

He was nominated for "Hacker" last time, but he didn't win the award in the end, and this time he was nominated for Best Director again, but there is still no hope, after all, the halo of the film's achievements is all shrouded in Xu Shi's body, and it is also true.

Just like when Cheng Guochao filmed "One Man's Martial Arts", the aura was on Xu Shi's side, and his chances of winning the award would naturally decrease.

"Don't be discouraged, there is still hope until it is announced. Cheng Guochao comforted.

However, it is obvious that his comfort effect is not too good, and Zhang Kui still has a bitter face.

But Zhang Kui still thanked: "Thank you Director Cheng, this time I want to congratulate Director Cheng first, you have great hope." ”

"Don't say that, everybody has the same opportunity now. Cheng Guochao said modestly, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was in a very good mood at this time.

Just like Zhang Kui said, the probability of him winning the award this time is very high, first, he has enough qualifications, and secondly, Xu Shi rarely interferes in the movie "The Witch", so it can be regarded as a movie directed by him independently.

In addition, the box office of "The Witch" is here, and the reputation is also very good, so the chance of winning is naturally very high.

"Director Cheng, do you think I want to follow Brother Xu for a while?" asked Zhang Kui.

This is something he has been worrying about recently, and he originally wanted to make a few more movies with Xu Shi to accumulate experience and connections.

But two consecutive Best Director nominations have slowly changed his mentality.

Because such a nomination is just a nomination, other people's nominations may have a chance, but he is the one who accompanies him, he knows this very well.

So now he wants to prove himself more and more, and only by making movies independently can he win the Best Director Award, just like Cheng Guochao.

Cheng Guochao was not surprised by his question at all, he could understand Zhang Kui's mentality.

"This depends on what you think, if you feel that your ability is enough, then mention it to Xu Shi, I believe that Xu Shi will not deliberately suppress your ability, how Xu Shi treats you I believe you know better than me. Cheng Guochao said.

Before Zhang Kui could think in his mind, he continued: "But you also have to think clearly, if you are ready to make a film independently now, Xu Shi will definitely find another director, and at that time, you will have no chance to regret it."

This is a relative choice, if you have confidence and ability, then go and talk to Xu Shiti, if you feel that you are still a little bit of ability, then honestly follow Xu Shi to learn more skills. ”

After Cheng Guochao finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, let Zhang Kui think about it himself.

Zhang Kui was indeed in a state of hesitation, of course Xu Shi treated him very well, and Zhang Kui was also clear about this, so he never thought of really breaking away from Xu Shi.

He wants to shoot movies independently, and he is also shooting for Jingwumen, not breaking away from Jingwumen.

But just like Cheng Guochao said, if he chooses to shoot movies independently this time, it will be difficult to come back in the future, and his position will have been replaced by someone else.

Thinking about it, Zhang Kui fell into deep thought.

...............

The situation on Xu Xiaoxiao and She Yueling's side is the same as Zhang Kui, and She Yueling also knows that she can't compete with Xu Xiaoxiao.

However, She Yueling's mentality is much better than Zhang Kui's, and she has already adjusted her mentality, she came with the mentality of traveling and long-term knowledge at this time, so she seemed very excited along the way.

Lin Yuming followed Xu Shi's side, this time he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and he has great hopes of winning the award, and he is also looking forward to it.

Although the impression of him on the Internet has begun to change now, if you can win an award, then you will be able to prove yourself even more.

"Brother Xu, do you think I can win the award this time. Lin Yuming asked expectantly.

Xu Shi replied perfunctorily: "If you can, you can, you can." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to answer Lin Yuming seriously, but Lin Yuming has asked more than a dozen times, which is indeed a little annoying.

Seeing that Lin Yuming still wanted to speak, Xu Shi hurriedly said: "After arriving at the hotel, let's disband it separately, but the mobile phone must be unblocked at any time, and it can't be turned off, and it can't be played without power." ”

"Got it. ”

This time they didn't bring any team, Xu Shi is not used to so many people serving, and he is not missing arms and legs, so he doesn't need to be served.

I only brought two agents and two makeup artists to help deal with the work and the handover with the organizer.

Lin Yuming originally brought a lot of people with Xu Shi when he joined them, but seeing that Xu Shi and their side only brought four people, they immediately let the others go back, leaving only one agent.

After arriving at the hotel, Xu Shiye, like everyone else, went out for a stroll, just by himself, without anyone else, so he seemed very comfortable.

I went to some well-known scenic spots, looked at the scenery, and bought a little snack, and Xu Shi had a good time this afternoon.

This is his rare leisure time, and when this award is over, he will be busy.

In the evening, Xu Shi called everyone back, then dressed up separately, and then went out to eat together.

Tonight, Xu Shi invited some filmmakers from Xiangjiang to dinner, and calling other people was also to let them accumulate more relationships, even Lin Yuming didn't pull him down.

Xu Shi's impression of Lin Yuming has always been very good, although he is a traffic star debut, he is willing to work hard and can endure hardships, which is very good.

There are many people who have given Xu Shi face this time, but there are more than seven well-known directors and screenwriters who are the actor and queen, and there are almost more than 20 people.

Now Xu Shi is different from the past, he has fully proved his strength, although he is still very young and has been in the industry for a short time, but the results are here.

The most important thing is that Xu Shi has not had many people to support him for so long, and everything depends on his own hard work.

If Cheng Guochao is the biggest one who helps Xu Shi in the entertainment industry, the rest of the people are basically exchanging interests.

This also leads to the fact that these old-timers do not have the feeling that the seniors look at the juniors when they face Xu Shi.

At dinner in the evening, everyone didn't talk about any professional topics, basically they were talking about gossip and life.

Just like ordinary people, it's not bad to brag.

This meal is just to get acquainted and lay some foundation for future cooperation.

At this banquet, Xu Shi is a well-deserved protagonist, after all, the action movie market in the mainland is almost monopolized by Xu Shi.

If these people want to enter the market and get a piece of the pie, then they must have a good relationship with Xu Shi.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone gives Xu Shi so much face, now Xu Shi is already a big man on the one hand, at least in action movies, there is no existence that can compete with Xu Shi.

After the guests and hosts had their best, everyone went back to their respective homes.

In the next two days, Xu Shi and the others have been wandering around Xiangjiang, which can be regarded as a good relaxation.

The real awards party began soon, and Xu Shi and the others also cleaned up and put on formal clothes.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Xiaoxiao and She Yueling's costumes are all designed by Gu Youlan, which looks quite eye-catching.

As for Xu Shi, he didn't wear it too eye-catching, it was a black suit, but he looked extremely energetic when he wore it.

The process is still the same, and there's nothing to say, it's just that there are very few fans on their side this time.

Only Xu Xiaoxiao has a little more fans, and many of them came from China to cheer for her, which can be regarded as an iron fan among iron fans.

As for a few fans of Xu Shi, they came by to take a look.

Xu Shi has always disliked what fan base he manages, everything is fate, so the cohesion of fans is naturally a little worse, such as even fewer fans, but everyone still likes Xu Shi's movies very much, there is no doubt about it.

Walk the red carpet, sign autographs, take photos........

After a set of procedures, Xu Shi and several people also sat in the venue.

After sitting down, Xu Shi and they were not idle, many people came to say hello, and Xu Shi and they all had to respond.

And there are also a lot of real respected old-timers sitting here, Xu Shi and they also need to go to say hello.

It's hard to survive, and it's only when it's almost at the beginning that it's really easy to get started.

"Whew, I'm finally free, but that's okay, I was a little nervous at first, but now I'm not nervous at all. Cheng Guochao let out a long breath and said.

"Director Cheng is nervous, you must go back with a trophy this time, naturally you are full of confidence. Xu Shi quipped.

"Cut, don't talk about me, what about yourself? No idea, if you win the award this time, you will be a double award-winning actor, at your age, although it is not a record, it is also very rare. Cheng Guochao said.

Of course, these Xu Shi know, and it is basically difficult to break the record in terms of age.

There are ten movies that directly won the double award, and there are also twenty-year-olds, how can they break the record?

"I don't care, that's it anyway. Xu Shi seems to be very relaxed, which is also a true portrayal of him.

After all, he doesn't have too much obsession with movies, and it doesn't matter if he wins the award, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't get it.

And he has already won an actor, and he has satisfied the little vanity in his heart.

Immediately, Xu Shi saw Lin Yuming rubbing his hands constantly, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you? Now the temperature is more than 20 degrees, it's not cold, right?"

Lin Yuming said: "I'm nervous, this award is still more important to me, and I hope to win this award." ”

"Don't be nervous, what should be yours is yours, and with your acting skills in "The God of Medicine", it is likely to be yours. Xu Shi comforted.

Without waiting for Lin Yuming to answer, the award ceremony began, and Lin Yuming immediately stopped, looking at the stage with anticipation, hoping that he could go up to receive the award today.

First the performance, then the host announced the awards.

At the beginning, it will be considered a less important award, or an award that does not attract much attention.

Like Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and so on.

These awards are actually very important in the eyes of many filmmakers, but they are not very important in the eyes of the audience, they only care about the actors' awards, and then the directors, and the rest don't care much at all.

Time passed like this, and the Best Costume Award and the Best Art Award were awarded one by one.

However, to Xu Shi's surprise, the best editing award was won by the editor of "The Witch", which can be regarded as the first shot of their two crews.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Xu Shi, they looked at Liu Tai, who had returned from receiving the award, and applauded.

"Thank you, thank you. Liu Tai was still very excited at the moment, he didn't expect this award, he was very surprised when he was nominated, but he didn't expect it to be awarded to him.

You must know that most of the editing of "The Witch" is staring at by Cheng Guochao, and Xu Shi occasionally intervenes in it, and a lot of his work is just listening to orders.

Lin Yuming looked at the trophy in Liu Tai's hand with some envy, and then his eyes became even hotter when he looked at the stage.

As for Zhang Kui, although he looked very serious, in fact, he had already given up this award.

Now what he thinks about is Cheng Guochao's words, and whether his real ability is enough to make a good movie.

Just when he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Lin Yuming shouting excitedly, and then warm applause came to mind.

Zhang Kui first subconsciously applauded, and then looked at Lin Yuming, who had already stood up at this time, and looked a little excited when he buttoned his suit with both hands.

Zhang Kui immediately understood that this was Lin Yuming's award, the Best Supporting Actor Award!

"Congratulations, congratulations!" When Lin Yuming passed by Zhang Kui, Zhang Kui said heartily.

"Thank you, thank you!" Lin Yuming immediately walked quickly to the podium after thanking him, and took the trophy with both hands.

"I am very happy and excited to receive this award, thank you for the judges' affirmation of me, thank you!"

"I would also like to thank Brother Xu, although when I was filming the movie, Brother Xu was very demanding of me, and sometimes I felt harsh myself, but it was precisely because of this harshness that I won this award.

And when I was making movies with Brother Xu, I also learned a lot of things......."

Lin Yuming is true feelings, and he simply regards Xu Shi as his idol, which makes Xu Shi feel a little panicked below, but Lin Yuming is really a little too much. 8)
