Chapter 411: Tokyo Concert [One Shift]
Wang Guxian won the first actress trophy in his life at the Golden Horse Awards, and he was so excited that he was almost speechless.
Lin Youlun sat in the audience, but he had already guessed the thoughts of the judges of the Golden Horse Awards, Wang Guxian's winning of the award was not so much that her Taiwanese status was dominant, but that the Golden Horse Awards intended to show favor to the Hong Kong film industry.
The Golden Horse Awards also want to attract more attention, but Taiwan's local films have been developing unsatisfactory, and Hong Kong films have performed very eye-catching in both Asia and Europe and the United States in the past two years.
Wang Guxian has been filming in Hong Kong all the year round, and it is rare to return to Taiwan this time, so he is ready to stay with his family to spend the New Year.
Sitting in the car, Lin Youlun spoke first: "Dong Lao personally ran this trip, do you have something to tell me?" ”
Dong Qianli didn't go around the bush, and asked directly: "Is Mr. Lin really ready to reform the Academy Awards?" ”
"I was hesitant to do this before I went to Taiwan again, but now I have decided ......"
Dong Qianli listened to Lin Youlun's words, and his heart sank.
"Chen Baisen told me before that he felt that he was no longer qualified for the position of editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", and his resignation report had been handed to me, and I had been withholding it without approval, and I originally wanted to wait for Mr. Lin to come back before making a decision, but now can I directly agree to him?"
Lin Youlun snorted coldly: "This Chen Baisen, do you want to threaten me with this set?" ”
"Mr. Lin may have misunderstood, and I think he may really feel that he is not up to the current job. Why don't I go back and persuade him again? Dong Qianli heard that Lin Youlun's words did not mean that he really wanted Chen Baisen to resign. I tried to ask.
"Since he came up with it on his own initiative. I'm not reluctant, in the future, the Academy Awards will be officially separated from "Film Fortnightly", and Chen Baisen will only need to be the editor-in-chief of the magazine. ”
Lin Youlun removed Chen Baisen from the Academy Awards Organizing Committee, but continued to keep him as the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", which greatly surprised Dong Qianli's expectations.
"If you don't transfer him to "Ming Pao" to do things, and keep him in "Film Fortnightly", I'm worried that he will make the mistake of stubbornness again." Dong Qianli is very aware of Chen Baisen's character, even if Lin Youlun officially separated the Academy Awards and "Film Fortnightly". There is no guarantee that Chen Baisen will not contradict him in the magazine.
"It's business as usual at the Academy Awards, why does Chen Baisen want to go against me?" Lin Youlun turned his head to look at Dong Qianli, looking puzzled.
Dong Qianli was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he stammered: "Isn't Mr. Lin going to reform the Academy Awards?" How to ......"
"Elder Dong should have misunderstood." Lin Youlun shook his head, "The reform of the Academy Awards will be put aside for the time being, and during this time, I plan to set up a film group, and then take over the hosting rights of the Hong Kong International Film Festival." ”
Just now he was discussing the reform of the Academy Awards, but immediately jumped to the Hong Kong International Film Festival, the span is so large, Dong Qianli only feels that his brain is a little insufficient at this moment.
Lin Youlun explained his thoughts briefly: "I went to Taiwan for two days. I've been thinking that the Academy Awards would only allow Chinese-language films from other regions to participate like the Golden Horse Awards. The steps are still too small, but the steps are bigger, and the platform of the Academy Awards is obviously a little inaccommodating, so I considered making a fuss at the Hong Kong International Film Festival. If the Academy Awards can be the vane of Hong Kong films, the Hong Kong International Film Festival should be the vane of Asian films. ”
——
When I got home and went in to change my shoes, the nanny Wu Ma came over and whispered something to Lin Youlun.
"Xiao Min is here?" Lin Youlun was slightly stunned.
Mother Wu took the coat that Lin Youlun took off, hung it on the hanger, turned around and said, "It was Mrs. Chen who called her over." ”
Lin Youlun nodded, "It's good, I know it." ”
Walking into the living room, Zhou Comin was talking with Chen Huiqing.
Seeing Lin Youlun, Zhou Comin originally wanted to stand up and greet him, but he finally stopped Chen Huiqing.
"Okay, you two have been together since childhood, why did you grow up and become so angry?"
Zhou Yimin's fair-skinned, crystalline, jade-like face was flushed with delicate flowers, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to make eye contact with Lin Youlun. The light shone on her face, soft and serene, like a freshly ripe red apple.
"Okay, you two talk, I'll go see if the soup is cooked in the kitchen." Chen Huiqing patted Zhou Comin's hand, got up from the sofa, and didn't forget to glance at Lin Youlun when she left.
Lin Youlun was a little puzzled by his mother's eyes, he poured himself a glass of water and sat down opposite Zhou Yimin.
"Do you have any plans for the New Year?"
"Do you mean New Year's Day?" Zhou Comemin raised his head, under his curved eyebrows, his eyes were gentle as spring, revealing a moving light.
"I mean, if you don't have any work arrangements for this period of time, let's go on vacation to Japan together." Lin Youlun proposed.
"Really?" Zhou Comin's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again, "But I'm going to Tokyo for a concert, and the time is set for New Year's Day." ”
"That's right." Lin Youlun put his left leg on the knee of his right leg, leaned over, and propped his hand on the armrest of the sofa, "It's okay, I'll go with you when the time comes, didn't I say before that no matter where you go to a concert, I will definitely be there?" When you're done with the concert, we'll go on vacation together. ”
"Just the two of us?" Zhou Comin asked hesitantly.
"Do you wish for someone else?" Lin Youlun asked with a smile.
"It's not...... I mean, we're going this way, and it's a little bad for my aunt to be at home alone, okay? Zhou Comin looked at Lin Youlun with sparkling eyes.
Lin Youlun shrugged, "She wishes the two of us were alone, if you want her to go with us, she will definitely not agree." ”
——
A blue spotlight shines on the green carpet stage, and in the pillar of light, a grand piano stands quietly, the open keys are black and bright, like a large mirror, reflecting the contemplative shadow of the girl sitting on the piano bench.
Zhou Yimin's posture was like a beautiful statue, and the enthusiastic fans in the audience couldn't help but start shouting and screaming loudly.
Zhou Yimin turned his head and smiled indifferently at the enthusiastic audience, and then his hands began to fall to the keys.
As soon as she made the move, the scene immediately became very quiet, and a soothing, soft melody slowly flowed from between her, like a clear spring flowing out of a cave, and like a flock of pigeons soaring in the sky.
The audience held their breath and looked at her intently.
After the prelude, Zhou Yimin set up the microphone in front of the piano, his thin lips opened lightly, and his crisp and tactful singing voice made people sound like someone had dropped strings of silver beads from the sky.
Zhou Comin performed the latest English single "Proud-of-You", this song is still written by Lin Youlun, Zhou Comin composed the music according to Lin Youlun's lyrics and rhyme, and the style of the "Girl with Wings" familiar to Lin Youlun in the previous life has changed slightly, but under Zhou Comin's emotional interpretation, it still gives people a pure and soft auditory touch.
After the song was sung, the audience was still so quiet, and after a few seconds, thunderous applause and cheers suddenly sounded.
Zhou stood up from the piano and bowed down to thank the audience for the applause.
At this time, a Japanese girl ran onto the stage with a bouquet of flowers, and after offering flowers, she hugged Zhou Comemin and waved her hand to the audience, and then she got off the stage satisfied.
Zhou Comemin held the flowers, slowly walked towards the front of the stage, picked up the microphone as he walked, and sang the first lyrics: "Later, I finally learned how to love!" ”
Immediately afterwards, she handed the microphone to the front, and the audience in the front row sang the next lyrics in unison very tacitly: "It's a pity that you have already disappeared into the sea of people!" ”
Most of the Japanese fans who sang along with them could not speak Chinese, but they were able to sing this Chinese song clearly, which made Lin Youlun, who was sitting in the audience, feel some emotion in his heart, vaguely remembering where the Cantonese songs flowed into the mainland in later generations, many people could not understand what the lyrics were singing, but it did not prevent everyone from singing these songs in a good way.
The song "Later" sung by Zhou Comin and the fans in the audience is included in her third solo album, and this album is selling extremely well in Japan, and the title song "Later" has also been high on the Japanese radio music charts.
The audience and Zhou Comin sang the front part together, and the musical accompaniment sounded, and Zhou Comin took back the microphone and began to sing emotionally.
The audience did not speak, just listened quietly, although they could not understand the lyrics, they could feel the artistic conception of the song with their hearts.
Lin Youlun sat with his hands crossed and sat in a group of fans who were excitedly waving small flashlights, smiling, and quietly looking at Zhou Comin who was singing on stage.
He knew very well in his heart that in the bright and dark corners of the surroundings, reporters from Hong Kong's gossip media were holding up their cameras, trying to capture the expression on his face at the moment.
As soon as the news came out that Zhou Comin was going to Tokyo for a concert, reporters from all Hong Kong gossip media began to pack up, because they knew that Lin Youlun would inevitably be present in person when Zhou Comin held a concert.
Lin Youlun did not disappoint these people, but at the concert, no one dared to come forward to visit, and the bodyguards hidden around Lin Youlun were enough to discourage these gossipy entertainers.
Over the years, a tacit understanding has been faintly formed between Lin Youlun and the gossip media in Hong Kong, and Lin Youlun does not shy away from the lens of entertainment on some occasions, and in return, entertainment reporters will not get too close and disturb Lin Youlun's normal activities.
