April 17th.

The 36th Hong Kong International Film Festival officially opened in Hong Kong.

Among them, the 6th Asian Film Awards held an award ceremony on the evening of April 18.

A total of 14 awards were presented at this year's Asian Film Awards, including "My Favourite Actor and Actress" and two special awards.

Before participating in the Asian Film Awards, Lin Xiaoguang's "Thai Embarrassment" had already won a lot of awards, but none of them were awards with high gold content.

Therefore, in some of the award ceremonies for distributing pork, Lin Xiaoguang basically pushed it as much as he could.

This time, at the 6th Asian Film Awards, Lin Xiaoguang not only attended in full costume, but also won the "2011 Highest Box Office Asian Film Award" again without any suspense.

In addition to Lin Xiaoguang's "Embarrassment in Thailand" which won the 2011 highest-grossing Asian Film Award, Lou Ye's "The Mystery of the Floating City" also won three awards for Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best New Actor, while Eddie Garcia and Nora Arnoll from the Philippines won the Best Actor and Actress respectively for "The Strange Old Man and the Princess Dog" and "The Woman Who Sold Her Husband".

After taking the stage, Lin Xiaoguang received the trophy from the hands of award presenters Wang Jing and Li Qiankuan, and joked while looking at Wang Jing: "I know that "Greater Shanghai" directed by Wang Jing is about to be released in the mainland, so I am very grateful to the organizer for giving us this award in a very timely manner before the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" was broken by "Greater Shanghai"."

Lin Xiaoguang's humorous speech not only made director Wang Jing happy on the spot, but also won a round of applause from the audience.

No one believes that "Big Shanghai" can break the box office record of "Thai Embarrassment", the key is Lin Xiaoguang's words, in addition to showing his modest quality, he also praised Wang Jing by the way, and also brought a wave of publicity for "Big Shanghai" by the way.

Of course, this "Greater Shanghai", which Wang Jing has high hopes for, is indeed a very good-looking movie, at least for now, in terms of movie cast, Chow Yun-fat and Sammo Hung, Wang Xiaoming, Wu Zhenyu, Yuan Quan and others in "Greater Shanghai" are not better than the "Three Musketeers of Thailand".

In the movie, Wang Xiaoming and Zou Yun-fat worked together to play the young and middle-aged characters of Du Yuesheng respectively.

Two days ago, Hong Kong's propaganda activities became a hall of apprenticeship, Wang Xiaoming respectfully handed over the apprenticeship post, knelt down on one knee, and took the dragon head stick handed by Fa Ge.

Wang Xiaoming said gratefully: "I...... Someone covered it later".

Zou Yunfa, who has never liked to give face, just like he didn't give Li Yuchun face back then, and he didn't give Wang Xiaoming face, "Such a big person still needs to be covered."

In addition to worshipping the big guy everywhere to be a godfather, like flying thousands of miles to help Sister Kuan in the Taiwan circle settle the bill, Wang Xiaoming has not done much in the past few years since his debut.

is the same as Wang Xiaoming's low-profile life, although Lin Xiaoguang has been successful, he has always remained sober, and even modestly emphasized on the podium: ""Thai Embarrassment" is a very normal movie, and I don't want everyone to look at it by box office results."

After a pause, Lin Xiaoguang said: "In fact, you can also see from "Thai Embarrassment" that the appetite of the mainland film market can be so big, I believe that our movie miracle is created by the theater and all audiences. ”

"I am very happy to be a litmus test, and I also hope that in the future, more other Asian countries can cooperate with Chinese films to make more good films of different genres and different contents, thank you. ”

Even if Lin Xiaoguang has been deliberately keeping a low profile, it cannot be denied that "Thai Embarrassment" is such a phenomenal movie.

"Thai Embarrassment" not only made Lin Xiaoguang gain fame and fortune, but also made the "Thai Iron Triangle" successfully squeeze into the front line, and also made investors make a lot of money, and also drove the development of Thailand's tourism industry.

Now everyone knows that "Thai Embarrassment" is a box office record written and directed by Lin Xiaoguang, and a landmark film in the history of Chinese cinema.

The popularity of Thailand has also brought unprecedented prosperity to Thailand's tourism industry, and many Chinese people have a more formed understanding of Thailand because of "Thai Embarrassment", and they will choose to travel.

In fact, over the years, it has been common for popular movies or TV series to drive tourism in filming locations.

For example, Feng Xiaotank's two "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" have successively driven Hokkaido, Japan, Sanya, Hangzhou and other places in China, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" has also made Jiuzhaigou popular, and "Mission Impossible 4" has aroused the interest of Chinese people in Dubai.

However, the director of a film was received by the top leaders of the government because the film promoted tourism to the filming location, and "Thai Embarrassment" can be said to be a precedent.

The day after the end of the 6th Asian Film Awards, Lin Xiaoguang and the crew of "Thai Embarrassment" took a flight to Thailand.

April 20th.

Lin Xiaoguang and the crew of "Thai Embarrassment", led by Thai Ambassador to China Yau Weiwen, met with Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra at the Thai Prime Minister's Office.

Lin Xiaoguang, as a new generation of domestic film directors, is already a great figure in the film industry, this time he was received by the Thai leader, whether it is public or private, Lin Xiaoguang did not dare to be ambiguous, and deliberately dressed up, after all, at the Hong Kong Film Festival, Lin Xiaoguang dressed so exquisitely.

Subsequently, Yingluck said during the meeting that this legendary Chinese New Year film - "Thai Embarrassment", which has created a low-cost and high-income film industry, not only brought exciting travel visual enjoyment to Chinese movie fans, but also gave Thai fans a taste of Chinese humor!

At the same time, Yingluck also said that she was very happy that "Thai Embarrassment" could achieve such a brilliant box office result, setting a record of 6.2 billion baht at the box office, with a total of 40 million people from all over China going to the cinema to watch the film, and tourists from China also coming to Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai Province.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra thanked "Thai Embarrassment" for its good promotion of Thailand's tourism industry, and warmly invited Chinese filmmakers and directors to come to Thailand for filming and filming, and promised that the Thai government would provide relevant convenience.

Although Lin Xiaoguang does not understand Thai, Yingluck does not know Chinese.

But under the simultaneous translation of translators from both sides, Lin Xiaoguang learned that at the peak of tourism, the number of tourists coming to Chiang Mai, Thailand increased by 5 times compared with last year, and even the crew of "Thai Embarrassment" received a complaint letter, saying that the places filmed in the movie were destroyed because there were too many tourists.

However, Lin Xiaoguang still hopes to have the opportunity to shoot in Thailand in the future.

After just a few minutes of talks, Lin Xiaoguang and Yingluck stood together for a group photo.

Soon, in less than half an hour, the photo of Chinese director Lin Xiaoguang and Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra went viral on major domestic portals, and netizens actively spoke......

"The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful!"

"This photo of Lin Xiaoguang and Yingluck is more compatible than the photo of *** and Yingluck!"

"Together, together!"

“……”

Although Lin Xiaoguang wore a mask and hat after returning from Thailand, he deliberately dressed up in disguise, but when he appeared in a low-key manner from the airport security checkpoint, he was still chased and intercepted by reporters and media who received the news.

The reporter asked Lin Xiaoguang about the meeting with Thai Prime Minister Yingluck, and Lin Xiaoguang emphasized that he did not say too much, and the meeting was only 5 minutes.

Lin Xiaoguang didn't talk much about his impression of Yingluck, but politely said five words: "very young and beautiful".

One has to wonder if Lin Xiaoguang is deliberately avoiding the details of the meeting.
