Wang Jiawei stood in front of the newsstand and helped his sunglasses.

"Boss, is there the latest issue of "Film Fortnightly"?"

The boss took out the magazine Wang Jiawei wanted from the bookstall and handed it over.

"You're so lucky, this is the last book!"

Wang Jiawei took out his wallet and was about to pay, and asked curiously: "When did this magazine become so popular?" ”

The boss glanced at Wang Jiawei, "It seems that you are also a knowledgeable person!" ”

Wang Jiawei laughed, "Where did you see this?" ”

The boss shrugged, "This magazine is usually not bought by anyone, and it is already good to sell 4 or 5 copies per issue, and generally only people in the film industry will buy it." ”

Wang Jiawei handed the money to the boss to buy the magazine, and then took the copy of "Film Fortnightly" from the other party's hand.

"You're not going to just get this one into my hand, are you?"

"No, I bought 20 copies in this issue, and they have all been sold out!"

The boss's answer surprised Wang Jiawei.

"20 copies, didn't you just say that the sales of this magazine are average in every issue?"

"This issue is an exception."

"For what?"

"Don't you know the way?" The boss glanced at Wang Jiawei strangely, "Every year, this issue of the magazine will announce the list of nominations for the Academy Awards, and only this issue of the magazine is the best selling in a year." ”

Wang Jiawei suddenly realized, no wonder this issue of the magazine sold so quickly, it turned out to be because of the shortlist of Academy Award nominations.

While the two were talking, a man in a baseball cap walked over.

"Boss, get me a copy of Movie Fortnightly."

"The last one. It has just been sold to him. The boss pointed to Wang Jiawei, who was standing aside and had not left.

"Friends. Can you pass me on this magazine? Or lend me ......"

The man in the baseball cap looked in the direction of the boss's finger, and before he could finish his words, he froze there.

"How are you?"

Seeing the surprised expression on the other party's face, Wang Jiawei couldn't help laughing.

"Why can't it be me?"

This man is none other than Liu Zhenwei.

"I'm unlucky to meet you when I go out!" Liu Zhenwei dropped such a sentence, and then turned around and left.

Wang Jiawei hurriedly chased after him.

"Haven't you read this magazine?"

"When I see you, how can I still be in the mood to read a magazine?"

Wang Jiawei ran in front of Liu Zhenwei in three steps and two steps, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"I'm really in trouble this time. You're not going to sit idly by, are you? ”

Liu Zhenwei glared at Wang Jiawei angrily, "What's wrong with standing by and watching?" I also want to move a small bench and buy soda melon seeds to sit and watch the excitement! ”

"After knowing each other for so many years, you won't be so ruthless, right?" Although he was begging for someone, Wang Jiawei still had a smile on his face.

"Don't come to this set, I've been cheated by you several times, and I won't be fooled if I say anything this time." Liu Zhenwei shook his head categorically.

"Lin Jianyue didn't know what happened recently, and suddenly remembered that I was making that movie, and then asked Huang Baiming to urge me that it must be filmed within three months. But you also know that I never get up fast in filming. Don't talk about three months, even if you give me another three months, you won't be able to shoot. Wang Jiawei didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, and first told the troubles he encountered.

"What does this have to do with me?" Liu Zhenwei looked at Wang Jiawei with a vigilant expression, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"At that time, I told Huang Baiming about the situation, and he said that it was okay to postpone, but I had to give them another movie, and I didn't feel at ease with the others, and only you could help me when I thought about it." Wang Jiawei shrugged.

"Didn't I help you as much as I used to? Back then, I kindly introduced you to Mr. Lin and asked you to film "The Legend of Wukong", you dragged on that drama for more than three years, and I didn't help you wipe your ass afterwards, can you continue filming in Hong Kong now? Liu Zhenwei glanced at Wang Jiawei, extremely depressed, how could he make such a superb friend in the first place.

"Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, you can help me this time, okay?" Wang Jiawei looked at Liu Zhenwei with a pleading face, and seeing that the other party's expression still did not change, he had to raise his hand and promise: "The last time, I swear that I will never trouble you again in the future!" ”

Liu Zhenwei originally planned to leave with his face, but when he heard Wang Jiawei's words, he immediately hesitated again.

"Really?"

Wang Jiawei saw that Liu Zhenwei's attitude was relaxed, and immediately nodded.

"This is only one time, not the next one!"

Liu Zhenwei raised his hand, and Wang Jiawei looked dazed.

"What for?"

"High-five as an oath, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future!" Liu Zhenwei said seriously.

"It doesn't have to be like this, right?"

Before Wang Jiawei had time to bargain, Liu Zhenwei immediately turned his head and wanted to leave, but Wang Jiawei hurriedly pulled him again.

"Okay, okay, high-five, high-five!"

After high-five, Liu Zhenwei snatched the magazine in Wang Jiawei's hand.

"Magazines stay, you can go!"

"I'm at your door, aren't you going to invite me to sit down?" Wang Jiawei followed Liu Zhenwei into the building with a dead face, "Besides, I just bought this magazine, and I haven't read it yet!" ”

"If you have time to care about this, you might as well think about how to make your movie quickly!" Liu Zhenwei ignored Wang Jiawei and walked into the elevator, and Wang Jiawei also followed.

"I don't care about anything else in the magazine, I just want to see the shortlist of nominees for today's Academy Awards."

Liu Zhenwei tucked the magazine under his arm and glanced at Wang Jiawei: "What does the nomination list have to do with you, you didn't have any movies released last year." ”

"How can I say that this is also a major event in the Hong Kong film industry, isn't it strange that I care about it?" Wang Jiawei shrugged, "Besides, you didn't make several movies last year, I care if your work is shortlisted." ”

"So I should thank you?"

The elevator reached the floor where Liu Zhenwei lived, and as soon as the door opened, he walked out.

When he arrived at Liu Zhenwei's house, Wang Jiawei consciously sat down on the sofa in the living room, Liu Zhenwei's wife came in with two glasses of water, and Wang Jiawei chatted with her.

Liu Zhenwei sat down and opened the book of "Film Fortnightly" by himself, and easily found the page containing the list of nominees for the 12th Academy Awards.

Seeing this, Wang Jiawei also turned his head over, and Liu Zhenwei had no choice but to move the magazine in front of him.

Wang Jiawei went through the entire list, and then patted Liu Zhenwei on the shoulder and said: "Congratulations, "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose" has been shortlisted for 7 items, and it is definitely a big hit to win the award this year!" ”

Liu Zhenwei himself didn't feel anything, "Don't you know that death is one of the laws of the Academy Awards?" ”

Wang Jiawei shook his head, disagreeing with this view.

"It was the first few sessions, and everyone couldn't figure out the taste of the judges, so I thought that some films that would win awards were the last to win awards, but now it's different, basically which movies have the possibility of winning awards, and which movies can just get a nomination, it's easy to guess."

"You said it was so easy, so you should tell me that this year's movie is most likely to win the Best Film Award?"

In front of Liu Zhenwei, Wang Jiawei did not shy away from saying: "Zhang Zhiliang's "Caged People" and Guan Jinpeng's "Ruan Lingyu", the best movie will only be produced in these two, as for your "92 Black Rose to Black Rose", as well as Chen Jiashang's "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" and Xu Ke's "Huang Feihong 3", these three movies are basically accompanied. ”

Regarding Wang Jiawei's analysis, Liu Zhenwei agrees, because the Best Film Award at the Academy Awards has always favored literary films, and it is rare for commercial films to win awards.

"What about the best director?" Liu Zhenwei then asked again.

"Neither is yours." Wang Jiawei pursed his lips and said regretfully.

The Best Director Award has always been regarded as the vane of the Best Film Award, and if you win the Best Director, the Best Film will be won by the same film nine times out of ten, and the shortlist for this year's Best Director Award is exactly the same as the shortlist for the Best Film Award, so of course, the two films "Ruan Lingyu" and "Caged People" are the most likely to win.

Although he didn't expect too much from "92 Black Rose to Black Rose" before, Wang Jiawei's analysis still made Liu Zhenwei a little disappointed.

"So I don't have to go to the awards ceremony on the night of the ceremony?"

"Is there a difference between you going and not going?" Wang Jiawei asked rhetorically.

Liu Zhenwei was stunned, and he didn't understand what Wang Jiawei meant.

Wang Jiawei then asked again: "You filmed "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose", the director and screenwriter used pseudonyms, even if you won the award, would you go on stage to accept the award in person?" ”

Liu Zhenwei shook his head.

Wang Jiawei put his hand on Liu Zhenwei's shoulder and comforted him: "So, although this year's Academy Awards are lively, it really doesn't have much to do with you." ”

Liu Zhenwei pushed Wang Jiawei's hand away, and said with a depressed face: "Then you congratulated me just now?" It's sarcastic about me, right? got 7 nominations, but didn't get a single award in the end! ”

"Don't say that, although "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose" didn't have a chance to win the best director and best picture, several other awards are still very promising, such as this Best Supporting Actress Award, among the 5 finalists, "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose" accounted for three, and it was easy to win the award."

Liu Zhenwei smiled bitterly, "92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose" directly gave up the Best Actress Award when he signed up, and specialized in the Best Supporting Actress Award, so he got three nominations in one go.

If you can't win the prize in this way, then luck is really back home!

Wang Jiawei pouted, "Actually, you're okay, the four shortlisted for the Best Actor Award this year are really lucky, I guess they must be scolding their mothers in their hearts when they see this list!" ”
