"Monica, phone!" Shouts were heard in a women's dormitory at the University of Perugia.

Soon, a girl with long black hair came out wrapped in a bath towel and asked, "Tracey, is it from the modeling agency?" ”

"I don't know, but he speaks English instead of Italian." Tracey put the microphone on the table and went to read to herself.

"Hey, hello!" Monica picked up the landline phone and lay down on the bed, asking in a lazy voice.

"Hello, may I ask you are Monica. Miss Bellucci? A man's voice came over the phone.

"Yes," Monica said, "may I ask you, sir?" ”

The man on the phone said, "I'm Zachary." Wang, I want to ask you to be the heroine of my movie......"

"Smack!" Monica didn't wait for the other party to finish, and hung up the phone.

"Who called?" Tracey lifted her glasses and asked with a large book of law.

Monica laughed, "An idiot liar who actually claims to be Zachary." Wang, you want to ask me to make a movie. ”

"Idiot enough," chimed Tracey, "he said he was Tindo. Ballas may be more reliable. ”

"How could a liar be so stupid as to claim to be that "seqin" maniac from Baras." Monica was speechless. Dingdu. Barras is a famous Italian director nicknamed "The Emperor of Erotica".

"Jingle bell ......" The two women were joking when the phone rang again.

As soon as Monica picked up the phone and didn't speak, she heard an anxious voice from the microphone: "Miss Monica, please don't hang up the phone, please listen to me finish speaking." ”

"Please." Monica Dow.

The man on the phone continued, "Monica, I'm Zachary. King. I was going to make a movie recently, and I haven't been able to find a heroine, but when I saw your fashion photos in a fashion magazine, I thought you looked very suitable. ”

"Are you finished?" Monica laughed, "You're really outdated when you chase girls with this trick." ”

There was silence on the phone for a long time, and the man sighed: "Please believe me, I got your phone number through Vera magazine, and since you don't have your own agent, I can only contact you directly." Ms. Sabina, the editor-in-chief of Vera magazine, can prove my identity, and you can call Ms. Sabina to confirm. ”

"I'm just an amateur model, how can I have Ms. Sabina's phone?" Monica laughed and said that she was studying law in college, so how could this kind of scam escape her eyes.

The man on the phone said: "Ms. Sabina's number is ......"

"I'm sorry, I'm going to rest." Monica said as she hung up the phone again, muttering to herself, "What a boring man." ”

On the other side of the ocean, Wang Zijun was speechless for a while listening to the busy tones on the phone.

"He's a persistent liar," Tracey commented, "it could be a man who wants to chase you." ”

"Perhaps." Monica said that with a good figure and a beautiful face, she has long been used to being harassed by men.

Monica. Bellucci was born in a small village in Italy, before the age of 19, to a father who was only a clerk for a freight company, and the family's financial situation was not very good. Monica ran to be an amateur model not to be famous, but to raise money for her college tuition.

The "Jingle Bell ......" phone rang for the third time.

"God, I'm going crazy!" Monica grabbed the phone and scolded, "Bastard, you've managed to provoke me." I warn you, call me again, I'll call the police......"

After Monica scolded, a voice came from the phone: "Uh, Monica, I'm Norma." ”

"Ahh I'm sorry, Ms. Norma, I didn't know it was you. Monica was taken aback and apologized. Norma was a good friend of her father's, and Monica was introduced to Vera magazine as a model.

Norma said, "Monica, here's your chance, Zachary." The king wants to ask you to be the heroine of the movie. ”

"Ms. Norma, did the crook call you?" Monica was surprised.

"Liars? So you really took Zachary for a liar. "My little fool, get the formalities of suspension done as soon as possible, I heard that this shooting will take at least half a year." Tomorrow Mr. Wang will ask someone to contact you, so don't hang up on people's phones. ”

The call was over, and Monica stupidly held the phone and said to her roommate, "Tracy, that person seems to be Zachary." Wang, he's looking for me to make a movie. ”

"Won't it?" Tracey closes the book and stares at Monica like an alien.

Monica nodded silently.

"Ahh There was a scream from the dormitory.

While Monica was still applying for a visa, the nominations for the 55th Academy Awards were finally released, with films such as "The Biography of Gandhi", "Mr. Doos" and "The Great Trial" becoming the favorites to win awards, and Wang Zijun's "The Pianist at Sea" was also nominated for Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, and Best Art Direction/Prop Set.

As for Spielberg's "ET", because of Wang Zijun's words many years ago, it has not been filmed for the time being.

The three nominations are very and inconsequential, and Wang Zijun didn't bother to attend the awards ceremony. For the next few days, he worked with a group of film special effects crews on the set props.

On April 11, the Oscars were held as scheduled, and "Gandhi's Biography" won several major awards, while Wang Zijun's "The Pianist of the Sea" only won a pitiful award for best sound editor.

Wang Zijun was glad that he was not embarrassed, and after a few days of preparation for the new film, he stepped on the plane back to Hong Kong and went to attend the first Hong Kong Film Awards.

The Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Center was crowded with celebrities, movie fans, and media on this day.

As it was the first time that the awards ceremony was being held, the preparatory team of the Hong Kong Film Awards made a lot of jokes due to their lack of experience. For example, the red carpet show is about to start, and everyone is just a short red carpet, so they have to run to buy carpets in a hurry; Another example is forgetting to place a barrier, fans flock in to ask for autographs, huddle with the stars, and reporters have no place to stand.

"Xia Meng, Xia Meng is here!" An elderly fan shouted excitedly.

This time the scene was a sensation, whether it was reporters or even some celebrities.

Known as the "Audrey of the East." Hepburn's Xia Meng has not appeared in public for more than ten years, not to mention that this time the "Running to the Angry Sea" she supervised is still a big favorite to win the award, how can reporters not be excited.

"Ms. Xia Meng, is it a precursor to your comeback to the film industry this time that you are supervising "Running to the Angry Sea"?" A reporter asked anxiously.

Xia Meng smiled: "Let young people act in the movie, I'm in my fifties, I don't want to be embarrassed." ”

"Sister Xia Meng, who do you like the most about the younger generation of actors?" Another reporter asked.

"There are many excellent young actors, and the future of Chinese films will definitely get better and better." Xia Meng played Tai Chi lightly.

Whatever the reporters asked, Xia Meng's answer was slippery, which allowed these young reporters to understand the methods of the first sister of Hong Kong leftist filmmakers.

Wang Zijun was extremely low-key this time, anyway, he didn't have to walk the red carpet, he simply entered directly through the side door, avoiding the eyes and ears of reporters, and ran inside early to sit and rest.

The number of people in the award hall gradually increased, Mai Jia, Tsui Hark, Zhang Aijia and a group of people came over to say hello to Wang Zijun, and the call for "Best Partner" in New Art City to win the award was also very high.

"Hello Mr. Wang!" As soon as Mai Jia and the others left, Leslie Cheung came over to greet Wang Zijun again.

"Well done." Wang Zijun praised.

After Leslie Cheung was brought out by Tsui Hark, he has now begun to make movies, and his main "Youth on Fire" won seven nominations in one fell swoop.

"It's all up to Mr. Wang." Leslie Cheung said with a smile on his face, he was not patting on the back, he really remembered Wang Zijun's good. Leslie Cheung has always thought in his heart that if Wang Zijun hadn't asked Tsui Hark to find him as the leading actor, he would still be able to mix on the small screen of Lishi.

As soon as Leslie Cheung left, two more girls immediately ran over, took out their notebooks and said, "Mr. Wang, can you sign for us." ”

Wang Zijun looked up and saw that these two girls, one was Wen Bixia, and the other was Lin Biqi, the youngest actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

"I've seen your "Pretty Girl." Wang Zijun said with a smile while signing.

"Really?" Wen Bixia looked at Wang Zijun with wide eyes, her face excited.

Lin Biqi was much more reserved, asking, "Did I act well?" ”

"You've all done a great job, keep up the good work." Wang Zijun said and began to flicker again, "If you have a chance, you can go to Xinyi City to make a movie." That's my company, and I promise not to let you suffer. ”

The two girls were soon dazzled by Wang Zijun, and Wen Bixia even planned to go to Xinyi City tomorrow.

After Wen Bixia and Lin Biqi left, Wang Zijun came to Wang Zijun with several groups of people before he finally stopped. He glanced back down the hall and noticed a lot of familiar faces. Zeng Zhiwei and Sammo Hung don't talk about these, just say that those who have just become famous in the past one or two years include Andy Lau , Zhong Chuhong , Ye Tong , Tang Zhenye and others.

However, there are few Taiwanese actors on the scene, because the selected works of the Hong Kong Film Awards must have more than six Hong Kong actors to star. This is to support local film works, but in this way, he can't help but be petty and lowers his own pattern.

In comparison, the Golden Horse Awards are different, as long as it is a film with Chinese dialogue and has been released in Taiwan for a period of time, whether you shoot it in Singapore or Malaysia, you can come to Taiwan to win the award.

The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, and two lights hit the stage, and Zeng Zhiwei and Xiao Fangfang, as the hosts, came out together.

The first Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony has finally begun.

Zeng Zhiwei said in his unique male duck voice: "I'm so excited today, Sister Fangfang, are you excited?" ”

"Of course I'm excited, Hong Kong movies finally have their own awards." Xiao Fangfang said.

"I'm excited to be the host with Sister Fangfang. I've always been a fan of yours, and today I finally had the opportunity to get close to my idol. After Zeng Zhiwei finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the audience.
