Chapter 500: Red Carpet Debut [Second Update]
"The Academy Awards only stipulate that actors can only be shortlisted for Best Newcomer for the first time in a movie, but there is no rule that they can't win awards for the first time as a director?" On the way to the award ceremony, Chen Kexin heard the reason why Wu Junru had to win the award, and felt very helpless.
"Anyway, if I don't win the prize this time, you must not win the prize!" Wu Junru hugged Chen Kexin's arm and said.
Chen Ke smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't even matter if Mr. Lin says whether to win the award or not, what can I do?" ”
Wu Junru sat up straight, pointed at Chen Kexin with his finger and said, "Oh, so you think you will definitely win the award this year?" ”
"I didn't say that." Chen Kexin hurriedly denied it.
"Come on, I think you won a few awards overseas, and you were touted by the Hong Kong media for two sentences, and then you can't find the north, right?"
Wu Junru did guess part of the reason correctly, but Chen Kexin would definitely not admit it in front of her.
Wu Junru pouted and said: "The Academy Awards have always had the saying that 'the big hit must die', I think this time except for Honggu, the other awards are still unknown, don't be happy too early, save me when you don't get the award." ”
"Okay, as long as you're on the red carpet, you don't have to hold my arm so tightly...... Anyway, you are also a person who has been here once, and you are still so nervous, you will be laughed at when you are photographed by the media. Chen Kexin changed the subject.
"Who says I'm nervous?" Wu Junru was said to be in her heart, but she was still stubborn.
Chen Kexin didn't argue with her, but patiently instructed: "Take it easy, I can walk with you on the red carpet." But if you do win the prize. I can't accompany you on stage to accept the award. What will you do then? ”
Just when Wu Junru was worried about this issue, the first batch of guests who arrived at the awards ceremony had already walked the red carpet.
According to the practice of the Academy Awards, the emcee of the award ceremony is the first to appear on the red carpet, and the hosts in charge of this award ceremony are Chen Xinjian and Shum Jianxun.
For the first time, there was no female host at the Academy Awards ceremony, which surprised the reporters on both sides of the red carpet, Chen Xinjian and Cen Jianxun walked off the red carpet, facing the live TV broadcast, and took the initiative to explain what the two of them would host this year.
Chen Xinjian joked with Cen Jianxun at the beginning: "I used to say that I was a guest host. I didn't dare to say that this year, because Manager Cen was standing next to me. ”
"I have also played a policeman in movies before, but in front of Chen Sir, a real police officer, I don't dare to say that I have played a policeman, for fear of being recognized by you." Cen Jianxun immediately replied.
"Speaking of acting, in fact, I would like to ask Manager Cen, since you became the general manager of Jiayi Cinema Line, how long has it been since you acted in a movie again? Are you playing big names with the audience? Chen Xinjian asked deliberately.
"No, no, the main thing is that the work is too busy. I really can't spare time, and the other is that I look really sorry for the audience. So I won't come out to compete with young people for jobs anymore. Shum explained.
"But everyone misses the roles you played before, and someone on the red carpet just now was still calling your name!"
"So hosting the Academy Awards today can be regarded as meeting you in this way."
"You mean I'm not handsome, and you'll be less stressed when you work with me?" Chen Xinjian suddenly came up with such a sentence.
Cen Jianxun was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "So are we here to compare ugliness today?" ”
The two laughed together, then ended their small talk and cut to the chase.
"It is said that last year's Academy Awards ceremony was the one with the most stars, but I think this year's awards ceremony is heavier in terms of award nominees and award presenters." Chen Xinjian compared this year's award ceremony with last year's.
Cen Jianxun nodded, "That's right, all the big names are here, and they are all familiar faces." ”
"Say the big name, the big name is coming, this is the big name among the directors, welcome Mr. Xu Ke, the rotating chairman of this year's Academy Awards!" Chen Xinjian saw Xu Ke on the red carpet getting out of the car with a black briefcase containing the envelope of the award results, and then introduced it to the media and the audience at the scene.
Because he wanted to send the award-winning results to the venue in advance, Xu Ke did not stay on the red carpet for too long, but after getting off the red carpet, he was intercepted by Cen Jianxun and Chen Xinjian for two sentences.
"Who is Director Xu most optimistic about winning the award today?"
Chen Xinjian asked, and then Cen Jianxun added: "You can't say Honggu!" ”
Xu Ke thought for a moment, "Wu Yusen and Chen Kexin." ”
This result is very surprising, Chen Kexin can still say, after all, tonight's "Ghost Love" was originally a big hit to win the award, but Xu Ke mentioned Wu Yusen is a little confusing.
"Now a lot of people say you two have fallen out." Chen Xinjian couldn't help but mention this.
"This should be a misunderstanding on everyone's part, we were still on the phone two days ago, but we have our own ideas now, so it's better to be separated."
Xu Ke said so, but whether the real situation is like this or not, only he and Wu Yusen know in their hearts.
After Tsui Hark left, several more groups of guests walked on the red carpet, followed by Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing.
The two appeared in front of the audience and the live broadcast camera with their fingers clasped, and there was a lot of commotion in the crowd on both sides of the red carpet.
This is the first time that Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing have appeared in public after the kidnapping incident, and both of them seem to be in a good mood, smiling and waving to fans on both sides from time to time, but not answering any reporters' questions.
Of course, after getting off the red carpet, when they came to Chen Xinjian and Cen Jianxun, the two of them answered a few questions.
"Everyone has seen it, you have been standing firmly by Jialing's side since the accident, in fact, I know that you are also under a lot of pressure during this time, and then do you have anything special to say?"
Liang Chaowei admitted that what happened some time ago had a very big impact on him and almost made him miss a movie.
Liang Chaowei himself didn't say what the movie was, Cen Jianxun was worried that the audience in front of the TV would not understand, so he specially helped him add: "You are talking about Wang Jiawei's new film, right?" ”
Liang Chaowei nodded. Then he briefly talked about his feelings during this time.
Liang Chaowei developed from the film industry. A lot of movies were made. There are a lot of blockbusters, but in fact, he has never figured out his future development direction, because he is trapped in the plot, characters and roles, and has a tug-of-war in his own mind. At the right time. Wang Jiawei asked him to play a role in the new film. He was naturally very happy to be able to cooperate with Wang Jiawei, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to sweep away the previous haze and regroup, but he never expected that Liu Jialing had an accident at this time, which made him have to give up this opportunity, but Wang Jiawei was very patient and said that he could wait for him.
Facing the live broadcast camera, Liang Chaowei also thanked Wang Jiawei in particular.
Then it was time for Liu Jialing to answer questions. Chen Xinjian said loudly to everyone at the scene: "We support Liu Jialing!" ”
He shouted three times in a row, and Cen Jianxun on the side applauded. Fans on both sides of the red carpet and most of the media reporters also applauded.
Liu Jialing, who was wearing a black sweater, bowed to everyone and thanked all those who supported her, and then took the microphone and said: "On the occasion of today's Academy Awards, I actually want to say the same thing to the people who love me, the people who support me, and some people who want to hurt me: I am stronger than I imagined." If such a sad thing can remind everyone of the importance of the professional ethics of the media to the environment in which we live, then in fact, the harm I have suffered is really nothing. Because of all the distress and anger, I can release. ”
When Liu Jialing said this, she was interrupted by applause several times, and Liang Chaowei stood next to her, clapping while wiping the tears overflowing from her eyes with her hands many times.
It is true that during the period when the situation of the kidnapping incident was not completely clear, the lives of the two were chaotic, especially Liu Jialing's state made him very worried, and he was usually a very active person, but he sat there in a daze all day long. When eating, I put the bowl up, put down the two bites, and often wandered, but fortunately, there was a happy result after the most difficult thing.
At the end of the interview, the host and the audience once again gave applause to the two of them.
Many stars followed, but the scene was not as active as when Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing appeared, until Lin Youlun and Zhong Chuhong appeared hand in hand, and the fans and media reporters on both sides of the red carpet became excited again.
Zhong Chuhong coiled up elegantly, with a pair of big silver earrings on her ears, a fat powder on her plump face, and a tight-fitting red dress and long skirt showing her soul-destroying curves. Under the skirt that reaches the knee slit, beautiful legs in strappy stilettos are hidden from time to time. Coupled with her graceful steps, on the red carpet, she is like a red lotus out of the water.
Lin Youlun is still in a simple slim suit, leather shoes, and he didn't take off his sunglasses on the red carpet, without saying a word throughout the whole process, and he is very conscious of making Zhong Chuhong a background.
After getting off the red carpet and being interviewed by Cen Jianxun and Chen Xinjian, he took off his sunglasses.
Chen Xinjian knew that Lin Youlun was Cen Jianxun's boss, and it was not convenient for Cen Jianxun to ask Lin Youlun questions, so he took the initiative to take on the main task of asking questions in this interview.
"Did Mr. Lin ever think that he would win the award today?"
"Which one are you referring to?" Lin Youlun was shortlisted for two awards this time, so he asked.
Chen Xinjian added: "Of course it's the Best Actor, this time Honggu was also shortlisted for the Best Actress, and you are acting in the same movie and winning the award together, so it will definitely be a good story in the future." ”
"If everything in reality could be turned into a good story, the screenwriter would definitely be the first to lose his job." Lin Youlun made an interesting analogy, in fact, he wanted to say that the truth is not as good as he thought.
Chen Xinjian heard that Lin Youlun was not interested in this question, and then changed the question.
"And what about the best screenplay?"
Lin Youlun nodded, "I'm looking forward to this." ”
"But overseas, "Ghost Love" has also won several screenwriting awards, and Mr. Lin doesn't seem to have been to the scene to accept the award." Chen Xinjian was a little embarrassed by Lin Youlun.
"This is different, the Academy Awards are my own activities, whether it is as the chairman of the Academy Awards or as a member of the Hong Kong screenwriters, I should support it."
"Many people think that Mr. Lin should have won this award a long time ago, but why did Mr. Lin have this idea until now?"
"I thought about it for a long time, but the judges didn't think so, and it wasn't until this year that they finally changed their minds, so I'm glad I waited." Lin Youlun said jokingly.
"But how did I hear that Mr. Lin himself refused to accept the award?" Chen Xinjian then asked.
"There are indeed once or twice, the work can actually be shortlisted, but the timing is not right, after all, I am also the chairman of the Academy Awards, and then the few times I can be shortlisted, it is not long after I took over the hosting rights of the Academy Awards, I feel strange to give myself awards, first of all, I have not passed that hurdle in my heart, and then I am afraid of others gossiping, so I communicated with the judges and pressed down the nomination...... Of course, I want to state that I can discuss with the judges in this way, it is entirely because it involves my personal works, they are willing to respect my opinions, and I can't suppress other people's works. Lin Youlun explained.
"So does Mr. Lin think Honggu can win the prize tonight?" Chen Xinjian turned the topic to Zhong Chuhong.
"There should be no problem, that's everyone's opinion, and then I see it that way, but I don't know what kind of decision the judges will make." Lin Youlun wanted to push the matter on everyone, and then he admitted it.
"If you win the award tonight, you will become the first actress in the history of the Academy Awards to reach the top of the film twice, I really want to know what you think now?" Chen Xinjian asked Zhong Chuhong a question this time.
"Okay, this award will indeed be very meaningful to me, but the other shortlisted actresses are very strong, Zhang Manyu is my good friend, and then Liu Jialing just experienced that kind of thing, and Zhang Aijia, I just saw her coming, and then it is very difficult to hold a big belly, and then I am very conflicted now, no matter who wins the award, it means that someone will be disappointed, and then I hope that each of them can win the award, what should I do?"
Zhong Chuhong asked a question that Chen Xinjian didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Cen Jianxun rescued the scene in time and said: "Aunt Hong, you are asking the wrong person this question, you should ask Mr. Lin!" ”
Lin Youlun didn't expect the ball to be kicked to his side again, so he had to say: "Actually, there is nothing to be disappointed, the Academy Awards are held every year, and I didn't win the award this year, so there will always be opportunities in the future." (To be continued......)
