Chapter 474: Fierce Competition
This battle for the News Group once again made everyone realize that Gu Chen was not easy to mess with, and after the incident, he was silent, not to mention the aggressive accusation against Sky TV for violating privacy, and he didn't even make a public statement, but in such silence, he launched a fierce and swift blow to Murdoch, the initiator of the incident, and almost blinded Murdoch.
In the end, he had to keep surviving, so that he not only got out of the evil in his heart, but also obtained actual economic benefits, so that no one could not help but say: Good job. As for Murdoch? He will have such a fate completely self-inflicted, as the saying goes, it is forgivable to do evil in heaven, and you can't live if you do it. Although many people wonder why Murdoch did such an incredible thing.
There is no doubt that the international repercussions of this scramble were extremely enormous, and it was not until more than a week after the signing of the settlement agreement that the incident gradually subsided. And Gu Chen, the protagonist of the incident, actually doesn't pay much attention to various comments from the outside world.
On this day, Gu Chen returned home from work, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Zhong Chuhong coming out of the mansion: "You're leaving, stay and eat before leaving." β
"No, I'll be a guest another day, bye." Zhong Chuhong waved his hand at Gu Chen in a charming manner, and got into his car and left.
Gu Chen walked into the mansion and came directly to Zhou Huimin's room, although Zhou Huimin is not pot-bellied, but the bulging belly is still obvious, when he walked into the living room, Zhou Huimin was sitting on the sofa, listening to prenatal education music, while flipping through books. This book is all about the precautions for pregnant mothers and newborn babies, and Zhou Huimin has read several such books since she was pregnant.
Seeing Gu Chen come in, Zhou Huimin put down the book. smiled and said, "Come back, what do you want to eat tonight, I'll go and tell the kitchen to make it." β
"Whatever." Saying that, Gu Chen sat next to Zhou Huimin, and gently stroked his bulging belly with his hand: "The baby is okay today." β
Zhou Huimin said a few dishes to the maid next to him, and asked the maid to instruct the kitchen to make them, and then said with a happy face: "I moved quite vigorously in the morning." I had to walk slowly, but in the afternoon I was quite obedient, and my movements were gentle as if I was itching. β
"Huh. This proves that our baby is in good health, and I will listen to see if there is any sound. Gu Chen lay his head on Zhou Huimin's stomach, and after listening to it for a while, his voice was a little bit. I just don't know if it's the voice of the fetus moving: "That's right." I met Honggu at the door just now, she used to come with Sister Mei or Ayu, why is it so rare to come here alone today? β
"She came to find Xiaoxian, and she also came to sit with me for a while, hehe, as for why alone, she didn't tell me, but I guess it should be related to the Academy Awards." Zhou Huimin smiled. went on: "This year's Academy Awards are hosted by the Film Association, and you are the president of the Film Association. Of course she is going to come over to find out the news, although she has been shortlisted for Best Actress a total of three times in the previous sessions, she has never been able to win the award, and this year she was shortlisted again with "Legend of the Night", which is the fourth time, so it's no wonder that she is not in a hurry. β
"Of course, this is just my guess, as for whether it is or not, aren't you going to spend the night at Xiaoxian's tonight, Xiaoxian will probably ask you then."
It's been so long, taking turns to accompany Gu Chen has become a tacit understanding of all the women, or an unwritten rule, who will be the turn tonight and who will be the turn tomorrow night, all the women know in their hearts. As for Gu Chen, he naturally knew it, even if he forgot it, Monica would inform him.
Gu Chen raised his head and kissed Zhou Huimin on the lips, and said teasingly: "I didn't expect that our family Xiaomin hadn't seen her for a day, and she had become a fortune teller." β
"Hmph, you're getting more and more annoying." Zhou Huimin wrinkled her nose cutely: "Of course you, an incompetent singer, will not understand the importance that actors and singers attach to awards, that is an honor and an affirmation of yourself, Sister Hong has missed the award three times, of course she will be in a hurry this time." β
At this time, the servant who went out came back, and Gu Chen said, "Go and ask the third young grandmother if she has eaten, if she hasn't eaten, let her come here to eat." β
"The first few times Honggu didn't win the award was bad luck, especially last year, if it wasn't for Xiaoxian, her chances of winning the award are still very high, this year's shortlisted for Best Actress are her, Lizhi, Sister Mei, Ayu and Gong Li, the competition is even more fierce than last year, and the result is difficult to say."
The shortlist for this year's Best Actress includes Zhong Chuhong in "Legend of the Night", Li Zhi in "Resident Evil", Anita Mui in "Rouge Buckle", Zhang Manyu in "Mong Kok Carmen", and Gong Li in "Myth", each of them is very powerful, not to mention, and their popularity and popularity are very high, all of them are first-line actresses in Hong Kong today, and it is precisely because of this that this year's Best Actress has attracted more attention than last year, because this shortlist is not only full of Hong Kong's first-line actresses, but also two are related to Gu Chen, Lizhi is Gu Chen's rightful woman, she was shortlisted in the last session, but unfortunately she lost to Wang Guxian, and the other is Gu Chen's lover Gong Li, Gong Li's acting skills are internationally recognized, who will win the award this time? You must know that Gu Chen is the president of the Film Association, will he open the back door to his woman? If so, for whom? To the rightful Li Zhikai? Or is it for her lover Gong Li?
This is the most popular topic for most ordinary Hong Kong citizens, and since the day the shortlist was announced, this gossip has been mentioned in various places, and as the night of the Academy Awards gets closer and closer, the enthusiasm for discussion is also getting higher, and some newspapers have done special market research.
selected the best actress in your mind, and as a result, Lizhi had the highest vote rate, followed by Anita Mui, and Gong Li in third. Of course, this is just a means taken by the media to increase the sales of the newspaper, and it can only represent the public's affection for a certain shortlisted actor.
According to Yan SΓΉ's analysis, among the five shortlisted actresses who were shortlisted for their films, "Rouge Buckle" and "Mong Kok Carmen" had a lower box office than many films that were not shortlisted, but they were artistically praised by many professionals in the circle, which is a standard literary film.
"Tales of the Night", "Resident Evil" and "Mythology" are purely commercial films, the films are big hits around the world and are liked by many fans, but the box office does not mean a qiΔ, otherwise there will be no need for a jury, and the award will be awarded directly to the highest box office. It can only be said that both sides have their own advantages, and who wins and who loses will not be revealed until the end, but there is an indisputable fact that the Academy Awards jury prefers literary films, which is a disadvantage for "Tales of the Night", "Resident Evil" and "Mythology".
Zhou Huimin said suspiciously: "Hearing you say this, you don't seem to know the list of winners?" It shouldn't be possible, you must have lied to me. β
Seeing Zhou Huimin staring at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes, Gu Chen felt defeated, and could only say: "Don't look at it like this, okay, I'll tell you, but you just know it yourself, don't talk about it to others, it's ...... who won the award this year."
"I knew you were here for Xiaomin." A voice from the door interrupted Gu Chen's words, and then Wang Guxian walked in.
Gu Chen said three words silently, Zhou Huimin was stunned, and then showed a clear look, she was not surprised by what Gu Chen said about the winner, but the others were about to be disappointed, and from a personal emotional point of view, she also hoped that this person would win the award, but this kind of idea could not let Gu Chen know. She looked up at Wang Guxian and said, "He has just come here for a while, so don't be bored and eat flying vinegar." β
"You're jealous." Wang Guxian sat beside Gu Chen, and hugged Gu Chen's arm: "You have a big belly, of course someone cares about it." β
Gu Chen quickly kissed Wang Guxian on the lips, and said with a smile: "That's all right, as if I don't care about you." β
"It's different." Wang Guxian glanced at Gu Chen coquettishly, and then asked, "Did you meet Sister Hong when you came back?" β
"I just met at the door, what's wrong?" As soon as Gu Chen heard Wang Guxian's question, he knew that Zhou Huimin had guessed correctly, but he just pretended to be confused.
"She came to me in the afternoon, although she didn't say it explicitly, but I know that she wanted me to help her ask for the list of winners of this year's Best Actress, can you reveal a little, don't say you don't know, the final list of winners will definitely be sent to the Film Association."
Gu Chen said angrily: "Lizhi is also shortlisted this year, you don't care about your own sisters, do you think it's appropriate to care about others?" Besides, I didn't even say Lizhi, let alone anyone else, you just told Honggu that the five people who were shortlisted had a chance. β
"People are just asking." Wang Guxian muttered a little aggrieved, but she didn't ask again, Gu Chen was right, she should care about her sisters, after all, Lizhi was shortlisted for the second time this year, and she must be both nervous and full of expectations.
Gu Chenyan said: "Don't ask, you can't even think about it, friends are important, but family is more important, no one is allowed to turn their arms out." β
After speaking, seeing Wang Guxian lowering his head, his expression becoming more and more aggrieved, Gu Chen hesitated, and finally lost the battle, sighed and said: "It's really lost to you, you go and tell Aunt Hong that I will arrange a new film for her in the second half of the year, so that she can take a long-term view." β
The implication is that there is no drama this year, although Wang Guxian felt sorry for Zhong Chuhong when he heard it, his face was still cloudy and sunny in an instant, and then he happily kissed Gu Chen's face: "My husband is really good, but I think it's better to wait for the Academy Awards to tell her about this." β
"You can do it yourself, okay, let's eat." At this time, the maid walked in with a dining cart. (To be continued......)
