Volume 1 A New Song and a Cup of Wine Chapter 253 The parties inquired
The makeup artist was helping Zhou Comin put on makeup, and Lin Xiaoman stood aside as if he couldn't give up.
"Sister Xiaoman, your face is not very good, do you have something on your mind lately?" Zhou Comemin turned his head and asked.
"Is there one?" Lin Xiaoman put his face in front of the mirror and looked at it, and said to himself: "Oops, there is an extra crow's feet in the corner of the eye, and I can't stay up late in the future!" β
Lin Xiaoman was still holding a newspaper in her hand, although the newspaper was rolled up by her, but from the content exposed, it was guessed that the report should be related to this Academy Awards.
"O, Sister Xiaoman is also concerned about the Academy Awards?" Zhou was so curious that he seemed to have discovered a new continent.
A trace of panic flashed in Lin Xiaoman's eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Now the newspaper is talking about this every day, I don't care if I don't care." β
Zhou Comin always felt that Lin Xiaoman smiled a little reluctantly, but the makeup artist was still beside her, so she didn't ask any more.
At the end of the event, Zhou Comin and Lin Xiaoman returned in the nanny car, Lin Xiaoman suddenly solemnly took Zhou Comin's hand and said, "Comamin, Sister Xiaoman, can you ask for one thing?" β
Zhou Comin was a little overwhelmed by Lin Xiaoman's actions, "Sister Xiaoman, if you have anything to say, I will definitely not shirk what I can do." β
"I want you to help ask Mr. Lin from the side, does Zhai Long, who won the Best Actor at the Academy Awards, have any hope of winning the award?" Lin Xiaoman's hands were stirred together, and his knuckles were pinched a little white.
Zhou Yimin is in a dilemma, whether he can win the award or not is decided by the Academy Awards Judging Committee, and it is inconvenient for Lin Youlun to intervene directly in this matter, and why does Lin Xiaoman want to speak for Zhai Long like this?
"My mother is Zhai Long's sister, and Zhai Long is my uncle." Lin Xiaoman told the secret hidden in his heart.
"O!" Zhou Comin was taken aback, she had always thought that Lin Xiaoman was just an ordinary agent, but she didn't expect her to have such a background.
Lin Xiaoman showed a reminiscing expression on his face, "Uncle, he really likes acting, at first he was just playing tricks, and finally he got a line, and then he was so happy that he had to, I was very young at that time, and I heard him read that line over and over thousands of times, and then I still remember it clearly." β
"What's his first line?" Zhou Comin asked curiously.
"You witch!"
Zhou Yanmin was stunned, covering his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, but his eyes had already bent into a beautiful crescent moon.
"Uncle he is now in his early 40s, and he has passed the stage of being in the prime of life, and it is really difficult to continue to maintain such a state in his future career, so this time he was shortlisted for the Academy Awards, probably his last chance, and his family is very helpful to him, although he doesn't say it on the surface, but I know that he still cares about this matter very much in his heart." Lin Xiaoman sighed softly, turned to look at Zhou Comin, and pleaded: "Actually, I just want to know how likely it is that Uncle Lu Dao will win the award this time, even if it is bad news, if I can know Lu Dao as soon as possible, I don't have to suffer from gains and losses like this." β
Zhou Comin thought that at this time, the results of the Academy Awards should have come out, and even if Lin Youlun can't get a complete list of winners, he should be able to inquire about the results of a single award. If Zhai Long really won the award, then the news must be hidden from him, and it will be enough to surprise if it is revealed later; If Zhai Long didn't win the award, he could tell him the result, and he wouldn't be overjoyed.
- Lin Youlun was at Zhong Chuhong's house when he received Zhou Comin's call, he took his eldest brother to the balcony, and estimated that Zhong Chuhong, who was in the living room, would not hear him talking on the phone, so he pressed the answer button.
"So you promised her?" After listening to Zhou Comin's request, Lin Youlun only felt a little headache, this matter is difficult to do, it is difficult to do The rules on how to keep the list of winners confidential were set by him, if he took the lead in violating it, how could he ask other judges to continue to keep it secret? According to normal history, Zhai Long will not win the Best Actor at this Academy Awards, but now history has been changed beyond recognition by Lin Youlun, Lin Youlun said that Zhai Long can't win the award, what if he is the winner of the most popular awards?
Lin Youlun thought for a while and said, "Xiaomin, I'm sorry, I really can't help with this matter." But you can tell Lin Xiaoman that if Zhai Long doesn't win the award this time, I will give him a movie as compensation. β
The idea of finding Zhai Long to act was not improvised by Lin Youlun, he was indeed preparing to make a movie recently, and one of the leading actors had the idea of letting Zhai Long star, and now he can fall in love with it.
Hanging up the phone and returning to the living room, Lin Youlun suddenly found that there was another one more person in the living room.
Zhang Manyu was no longer surprised that Lin Youlun appeared at Zhong Chuhong's house, but Lin Youlun was very surprised, it was only a few minutes before he went out to answer the phone, and Zhang Manyu came here too coincidentally.
Zhang Manyu and Zhong Chuhong sat together, and Lin Youlun sat down on the sofa opposite, "Ayu, what have you been busy with lately?" Why don't you see you taking on a new film? β
Before Zhang Manyu could speak, Zhong Chuhong preemptively said on the side, "I've been busy falling in love lately, how can I have time to make a movie." β
"Ayudu is in love?" Lin Youlun was stunned at first, patted his head, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am really outdated." β
The two sang and harmonized, which made Zhang Manyu look embarrassed, and explained: "Things are not what you think, I just had orthodontic surgery and extracted two teeth during this time, so it is inconvenient to take on a new play." β
Lin Youlun noticed that the iconic pair of rabbit teeth when Zhang Manyu debuted were gone, and after the teeth were extracted, she looked thinner, but in terms of image, it was more in line with Lin Youlun's impression in later life. Lin Youlun quite agrees with Zhang Manyu's approach, that pair of teeth can only cause her to act in comedy, because the audience wants to laugh when they see that pair of teeth, and after extracting the teeth, Zhang Manyu's future drama path has broadened a lot.
Zhong Chuhong continued to joke: "How did I hear that there is another version of your tooth extraction?" β
"It turns out that there is an insider!" Lin Youlun also coaxed on the side, "You pulled out your teeth, it can't be because of your boyfriend, right?" β
"Correct!" Zhong Chuhong applauded, picked up a washed apple from the fruit bowl, and stuffed it into Lin Youlun's hand, "This is your prize!" β
Lin Youlun ate the apple and asked: "After talking about it for so long, I still don't know who Lu Dao Ayu's boyfriend is, which of you tells me the answer?" β
Zhong Chuhong didn't rush to answer this time, Zhang Manyu lowered her head and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's Xiaobao." β
"Who's Xiaobao?" Lin Youlun didn't react for a while, he only knew that Liang Chaowei had played a version of Wei Xiaobao, but Liang Chaowei didn't seem to have this nickname.
Zhong Chuhong grabbed the pillow and was about to fight, she felt that Lin Youlun was pretending to be stupid, "You don't know who Xiaobao is?" You're really derelict enough to be the chairman of the Academy Awards. β
Lin Youlun spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "There are so many artists in Hong Kong, I can't know them all, right?" β
Zhong Chuhong glanced at him, "Don't tell me you don't even know Er Dongsheng?" β
Lin Youlun suddenly realized and said sorry repeatedly.
Speaking of Er Dongsheng, we have to mention his two half-brothers, Jiang Dawei and Qin Pei.
Compared with the three Xu brothers who knew that Lu Dao was a family when they heard their names, Qin Pei, Jiang Dawei, and Er Dongsheng only heard their names, and it was difficult to make them think that they were brothers of the same mother.
And what's very interesting is that Qin Pei and Jiang Dawei sound very much like real names, but they are actually stage names, but Er Dongsheng, who is the most like a stage name, is his real name. Qin Pei's stage name was taken with the help of the great director Li Hanshen, which means that he works diligently to play a supporting role, and he doesn't want to be a prophecy, so Qin Pei has really been a supporting role for a lifetime. And Jiang Dawei's stage name was taken with the help of director Yue Feng, but it was the great director Zhang Che who really made this name resound in Xiangjiang.
At that time, Zhai Long and Jiang Dawei were the peerless duo under Zhang Che, and they were also the best partners of the same brotherhood, and some media ridiculed the two at that time that their friendship in Zhang Che's movies was really incompatible-either dying together or dying for each other.
is such a pair of tacit partners, who were borrowed by Li Hanxiang to shoot a film, but they were unhappy because of the number of scenes, and then they parted ways and never worked together again.
Later, Chu Yuan filmed Gu Long's "Xiao Li Flying Knife", and it was determined that Zhai Long would play Li Xunhuan, originally the role of Ah Fei was simply tailor-made for Jiang Dawei, but Zhai Long and Jiang Dawei had already fallen out at this time, Chu Yuan had to think of another idea, and then found Jiang Dawei's younger brother Er Dongsheng.
Er Dongsheng was brought up by Jiang Dawei, and he chose to be an actor after graduating from middle school, in fact, because he admired his brother.
Jiang Dawei later moved to Canada and slowly faded out of the Hong Kong film industry, but Er Dongsheng has been smooth sailing and has become a new generation of heroic martial arts students in Hong Kong.
Er Dongsheng didn't want to be regarded as a martial arts student who had always been regarded as "simple-minded and well-developed limbs" in the eyes of the side, so he decided to be a director, this decision was not favored, only the eldest brother Qin Pei strongly supported, and also played a supporting role in his debut film "The True Story of the Crazy Guy".
Er Dongsheng was promoted to the first director's tube, and he showed a shocking director's talent, but the work "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" touched on socially sensitive topics because it was about mental illness, and was once banned by the Hong Kong government, and it was re-approved for release after the implementation of the film classification system, with an investment of more than 2 million and a box office of 10 million, and it is also a literary film, and there has been no doubt about Er Dongsheng's directing ability since then.
Zhang Manyu met Er Dongsheng at last year's birthday party, very clichΓ© love at first sight, although Er Dongsheng was 7 years older than her, but two months later she generously expressed in front of the media that she hoped that this love affair would come to fruition.
When the two were together, because Er Dongsheng often made fun of Zhang Manyu's ugly duckling, she was very puzzled by her winning the runner-up of Sister Hong Kong, Zhang Manyu cared too much about Er Dongsheng's words, so he pulled out two rabbit teeth that hindered the perception.
After knowing this, Lin Youlun was thinking in his heart, Zhang Manyu is coming today, won't he also want to ask him about the Academy Awards?
