In the evening, outside the Avenue of Fame of the Golden Horse Awards, the crew of "Sleepy Father" was waiting to walk the red carpet, and they would soon arrive.

"It's all your fault!"

Yang Mi's voice was like a mosquito fly, her palm was pinched on Qin Muchu's arm, and she didn't dare to look up at the playful gaze of Gong Li and other elders around her.

"Don't be too arrogant."

Qin Muchu replied in a low voice, in exchange for Yang Mi screwing him.

The reason why Yang Mi is so shy is that Sister May, Zhou Jiaolun's former agent and current artist manager of Jewell Company, came to the hotel to give her a dress, which happened to be seen by Gong Li.

There is nothing about this, the key is that the dress was not sent to Yang Mi's room, but to Qin Muchu's room.

Why did he change his dress temporarily, and the dress was sent to Qin Muchu's room.

They are all people who have come over, and they understand it after a little thought.

It's good to be young.

"I invited the crew of "Father in Time" to walk on the Avenue of Fame."

The voice of the red carpet host rang out.

"Let's go."

Qin Muchu hurriedly said, he was also a little embarrassed.

What does it have to do with me?

It's totally a pot with a bad quality dress!

As we approached December, it was completely dark at seven o'clock, and only the reporters' flashes were unusually bright.

The entry of the crew of "Sleepy Father" caused a burst of cheers, after all, the popularity of Chen Daomin, Gong Li, and Zhang Manyu is within the scope of the entire Celestial Empire.

Moreover, the crew of "Sleepy Father" is the most well-known and the biggest favorite to win the Golden Horse Awards this year.

The red carpet host is a man and a woman, both of whom are locals of Wanwan.

When Qin Muchu and the others approached, he opened his mouth to stop them and conducted interviews as usual.

The first interview was with director Qin Muchu, and the hostess Yang Qianpei praised her handsome dress and said:

"Director Qin, "Father Trapped in Time" is the favorite to win the award tonight, there are a total of eight nominations, so do you have any prospects for tonight's awards?"

After speaking, he handed over the microphone and looked at Qin Muchu expectantly, hoping that he could say the extremely hot words of "I want to take it all".

But Qin Muchu was not stunned, even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say so, and took the microphone:

"It seems that the general award ceremony is very miserable, I hope I don't have that, I can have a chance to go on stage and give an acceptance speech."

Humorous and humble.

Although it doesn't have a strong news effect, it's barely passable.

But the female host passed this level, and the male host asked again:

"Then how many acceptance speeches did Director Qin prepare? You won't just prepare one and rush to the stage like in Venice, right? ”

Qin Muchu smiled.

It's a homework.

But he also cleverly resolved:

"It's okay, the testimonial I prepared this time is very long, I can talk about it in sections, I have to say one paragraph at a time."

That's it, and then ask "how many paragraphs have been prepared", that is, to provoke trouble openly.

The male host reluctantly glanced at the female host.

This kid is too slippery to be out of the trap at all.

asked a few more questions to the rest of the crew and let them go.

This year's Golden Horse Awards was held in the Zhengfu Building in Taipei County, and was broadcast by many TV stations across the Taiwan Strait.

When the crew of "Sleepy Father" entered the venue, there were already many people sitting inside, chatting one after another.

Under the guidance of the staff, Qin Muchu and the others found their location.

I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, and they were arranged with the crew of Huayi's "The Wind".

"Director Qin, long time no see."

Li Shuishui, one of the four Dan Shuangshui, stood up and greeted Qin Muchu politely.

She was nominated for this Golden Horse Award for "The Wind", and it stands to reason that she and Gong Li are still in competition.

But it doesn't exist.

Not to mention that Gong Li's award may not be big, even if the award may be big, she can only smile and have a good relationship.

After all, he is not at the same rank as Gong Li.

No, after saying hello to Qin Muchu, Li Shuishui continued to greet other actors such as Old Man You, Chen Daomin, Gong Li, etc., and even Yang Mi didn't forget it, and shouted "Mimi" affectionately, I don't know how good the relationship between the two is.

Of course, Qin Muchu also did not forget to say hello to other directors and actors around him.

For example, Huang Bo who met when he was eating in a restaurant at noon.

"Director Qin, it's too coincidental, I didn't expect to sit behind you." Huang Bo said with a smile.

Qin Muchu also smiled:

"It's quite a coincidence, what about Director Ning Hao?"

Speaking of this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Huang Bo's eyes, but he quickly covered it up:

"Haozi didn't sit with me, I'm in the crew of "Bullfighting" now."

"Oh, that's right."

Qin Muchu said yes.

It is normal for an actor to have multiple films shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards, but there is only one person, and at this time, a crew must be selected.

After a polite exchange, Qin Muchu sat down, next to an acquaintance of the crew of "The Wind" - Huang Daming.

He is now proud, a month ago on the day of Huayi's listing, the stock price soared, reaching a peak of more than 110 yuan per share.

Although it stabilized at more than 90 yuan per share at the end of the day, it also made Huang Daming make a profit.

He bought Huayi shares at a price of 3 yuan per share, more than 30 times the income, and with the Huayi shares he held, once he sold them, he would become a billionaire.

This made the stars who didn't buy or bought less when Huayi subscribed for shares at the beginning regretted it.

Although he had money, Huang Daming didn't dare to his tail in front of Qin Muchu, and he could still clear the gap between hundreds of millions and tens of billions.

He is at home with Qin Muchula at the moment, and the best contact between the two is naturally Teacher Cui.

"Last month, I went back to Yanying to visit Mr. Cui, and saw the auditorium that I donated, which was really magnificent, and made me ashamed as a senior.

Come to think of it, it is time to give back to your alma mater if you have the ability to do so.

But my ability is limited, I can't compare with you, I see that the parking lot of our school is quite broken, even the roof is gone, I plan to donate a parking lot. ”

Huang Daming said to Qin Muchu.

This sentence can be regarded as talking about Qin Muchu's heart, and he nodded again and again:

"I didn't dare to stop when I went there in the summer because I was afraid that the car would be damaged."

Huang Daming smiled when he heard this:

"I heard what Teacher Cui said, and she also said let me leave it alone, when you go to work in the future, you will naturally have to close the parking lot if you want to park."

"No, I can only go to work a few times, and I just want to fix a parking lot just to park those few cars? How resentful am I, my money is not money? ”

"Haha, Teacher Cui said that you have money, a slight leak in your fingers is enough to build another school for us."

Huang Daming laughed, but his heart was a little complicated.

Teacher Cui can also see who spends money in her heart.

Obviously, he is no longer Mr. Cui's favorite treasure.

But in the end, it was a person in his thirties, and after a slight fluctuation in his heart, the matter passed, and he said:

"This time Huayi is listed, Mimi and Xiqian have made a lot of money, right?"

At present, the situation of Huayi is very good, as long as the stars who hold stocks are not stupid, they do not sell their stocks, but try to buy more and wait for appreciation.

Only Yang Mi and Liu Xiqian began to sell their stocks one after another on the second day of listing, cashing out and leaving the market.

"One person is less than 100 million." Qin Muchu didn't hide it either.

In fact, not only Yang Mi and Liu Xiqian, Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin bought Huayi shares under his suggestion, and they all made a lot of money after listing.

It's just that Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin bought relatively little, and the income together can be about 100 million.

It's not that they don't trust Qin Muchu, it's that these two don't have such a high desire for money.

Huang Daming looked at Qin Muchu and said lightly, "One is less than 100 million", which felt as casual as saying a hundred or a thousand, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

The key people are really not pretending, they really have this strength.

A little sour, he asked:

"Then Mimi, are they interested in doing business together, money makes money? Of course, it would be better if you were willing to come along, but we have a small business, I'm afraid you won't like it. ”

Trade?

Qin Muchu did not reply immediately.

It is very common for celebrities to do business, some lose and some earn, and most of them basically make money.

There is a word called "star effect", using one's own fame as a signboard, basically as long as you are not too stupid, you will not lose money.

But in the same way, once something happens to the company, the star will also be counterattacked, and it is possible to terminate his acting career at least or send himself in.

Seeing that Qin Muchu didn't speak, Huang Daming could probably guess his concerns, but he didn't force it.

He proposed to partner with Yang Mi and a few people to do business, which was completely Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong.

It is best to cooperate with Qin Muchu, and the relationship with Qin Muchu is deeper.

It doesn't matter if you can't cooperate, the goodwill has been reached.

So he immediately laughed and said:

"I'll just say that, it still depends on Mimi's own thoughts, let's talk about it later."

……

The stars in the audience were chatting quietly, and as the red carpet of the Avenue of Stars gradually emptied, the Golden Horse Awards ceremony also kicked off.

"Thank you for coming to Taipei County ......"

First of all, the leaders of Taipei County took the stage to deliver speeches.

It is estimated that few people in the audience listened to the cliché official words, but they all applauded their face.

"Thank you for your speeches......"

Tao Jingying, the host of the award ceremony, summed up her gratitude.

She wore a white gown, and her voice had a unique tone of Wanwan:

"Next, welcome the judges of this year's Golden Horse Awards, they are ......"

Everyone sat down, but only a group of judges stood up from the audience and smiled and waved to the audience.

"That Hou Dao doesn't seem to be very happy." Yang Mi said in Qin Muchu's ear.

All the judges were smiling, but only Hou Xiaoxian, the chairman of the jury, had a serious face.

"Maybe people don't like to laugh."

Qin Muchu also saw Hou Xiaoxian's appearance, but he didn't feel unhappy.

This Director Hou is older than Zhang Yimou, and he also has many honors, and the three major European ones have won the Venice Golden Lion, the Cannes Jury Prize, and the Cannes Best Director.

Old-timers, it's normal to be serious.

After the presentation of the jury, the award ceremony officially began.

The first are informal competition awards and special awards, such as the Audience Choice for Best Film and the Lifetime Achievement Award.

After these awards, it will be time for tonight's highlights, individual awards and film awards.

The first awards were given to the individual awards in the technical category, best sound, and best original film music.

"Sleepy Father" was nominated for Best Editing, Tao Jingying reported for this award, the presenter came to the stage, and Qin Muchu sat up a little straighter.

"The nominees for best cinematography this time are Dai Liren's "Can't Do Without You", Kong Jinlei's "Bullfighting", Zhang Yifan, Du Yuan, Tang Hua's "Crazy Racing" and Qin Muchu's "Father Trapped in Time".

The award-giver reads the cards on the stage, and each time he reads one, the corresponding character screen will appear on the big screen.

The crew of "Racing" is the most popular among the four nominated movies, and the camera frames three people at once, so there is no way to be so right, and half of the body of the person next to him was photographed.

Huang Bo saw the figure lying on his side leaning on the chair, and although he didn't take a picture of his face, he still recognized it as Ning Hao at a glance.

I can't help but slap my head.

Don't drink so much at noon, you have to drink, and you're still dazed.

"The one who won the best editing was Qin Muchu, "Father Trapped in Time", congratulations!"

It's just a technical award, and the presenter didn't sell anything, and directly said the result.

Suddenly, only Qin Muchu was left on the four pictures on the big screen.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

A sound of congratulations sounded around Qin Muchu, it was not a grand prize, there was no need to hug and cry bitterly, nodded slightly to thank him, and walked up to the stage to accept the award.

"Congratulations, Director Qin."

"Thank you."

After the presenter gave the trophy to Qin Muchu, he stepped aside.

Qin Muchu held the trophy and looked down.

A leaping golden horse.

This is also his first film award in China.

"Director Qin, I won the award for the first nomination tonight, it's off to a good start, what do you want to say now?" Tao Jingying asked on the side of the hosting platform.

Qin Muchu retracted his gaze and talked about the prepared acceptance speech:

"First of all, I would like to thank Director Hou for inviting me to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, and then thank the judges of the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this honor.

Then I would like to thank Mr. You, Mr. Chen Daomin, and Mr. Gong Li of the crew...... the editing of "Sleepy Father" is cut while shooting, relying on the wonderful performances of the teachers, I am very comfortable editing to win this award, thank you. ”

Decent acceptance speech, after finishing speaking, Qin Muchu stepped down in applause.

"Sleepy Father" has not yet been released, so no one present has seen this film except for the judges.

I only know that this film is very dick, because Venice gave three awards for the first time in history.

Now that it has made a good start, the rest of the crews nominated for the same award as "Sleepy Father" have already shown bitter faces.

I feel that I have little chance of winning the award.

So when the name of the winner of the best art design was "Li Tianjue, "Face", the winner himself couldn't believe it.

After reacting, he was pleasantly surprised and hugged the people around him.

"Lao Liu, are you disappointed?"

Qin Muchu turned his head to look at the art design director of the crew, a man in his thirties.

"Hey, sort of, but it's okay." Lao Liu scratched his head.

Seeing that Lao Liu didn't have too much frustration, Qin Muchu nodded and said:

"The nomination reward is 50,000 yuan, and I will go back to the company to receive it."

Sure enough, Lao Liu's frustration when he heard this disappeared completely.

He didn't think about the nomination of 50,000 yuan, how much the award should be.

The money was not available before, and now it is clearly said to comfort him.

When people learned that they were satisfied, they immediately smiled and thanked them again and again.

Gong Li, Chen Daomin and other actors all had smiles in their eyes.

This is also one of the things they like about Qin Muchu.

Human.

The award ceremony continued, and the technical awards were quickly completed.

When it came to the best adapted screenplay, this award was awarded to Guan Hu's "Bullfight".

The moment the name was spoken, Qin Muchu was cheering behind him, and he also turned around to send his blessings.

"Thank you, thank you, it's time for you to take the stage for the next award." Guan Hu was very happy and sent his blessings.

It's not a sycophant, it's everyone's default.

Venice recognized the best screenplay, isn't it a hand to win the best original script at the Golden Horse Awards?

"The nominees for the Golden Horse Best Original Screenplay include Dai Liren and Chen Wenbin "Can't Do Without You", Cui Siwei, Xing Aina, Wang Hongwei ...... "Crazy Racing", Zheng Wentang, Zheng Jingfen, Zhang Yifeng "Tears", Qin Muchu "Father Trapped in Time".

When the awarders announced the nominations, there was silence at the scene, and they all looked at Qin Muchu.

This is probably the least suspenseful award.

Including the award presenter, he thinks so, if it is not necessary to open the envelope to see the list of winners, he wants to announce it directly.

"The winner is ......"

There was an eerie pause in the voice.

Either the sound is deliberately dragged out to create suspense, or it stops suddenly, as if choked.

"Dai Liren, Chen Wenbin, "Can't Do Without You"."

The awarders announced the winners with a strange expression.

And there is more than one person with the same expression as him, and almost the entire audience has this expression.

Deathly silence.

Hou Xiaoxian, chairman of the jury, saw this scene, frowned and closed his eyes.

He had anticipated this when the winners came out in the afternoon, but he was powerless to change it.

Unlike the three European ones, the president of the jury has a lot of power and can almost decide in a word.

Golden Horse Award ...... It's democratic.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

It took about two or three seconds for the applause to begin to erupt.

"This "Can't Do Without You", have you seen it?"

Gong Li glanced at Qin Muchu, who was applauding, and frowned and asked Chen Daomin next to him.

"Nope." Chen Daomin shook his head.

Gong Li looked at Zhang Manyu again.

She shook her head too.

Soon, the entire crew of "Sleepy Father" said that they had not seen this film, and only knew through the host's introduction that it was a Wanwan movie.

The same situation happened not only in the crew of "Sleepy Father", but also in the rest of the mainland crew, the Hong Kong Island crew and even many local crews in Wanwan, who have not seen this movie.

The mainland and Hong Kong Island crews haven't seen it, and the Wanwan crew hasn't seen it either, which is a bit outrageous.

Upset dark horse?

But the appearance of the dark horse is to kill the popular one......

Sure enough, Chen Daomin's nomination for Best Supporting Actor and Gong Li's Best Actress both failed.

But it makes sense.

Chen Daomin lost to Wang Xuejin's "Mei Lanfang", this is also an old drama bone, nearly ten years older than Chen Daomin.

And "Mei Lanfang" is also Chen Kaige's masterpiece.

Both actors and directors are not weaker than "Sleepy Father", so it is reasonable to lose.

Not to mention Gong Li, her heroine nomination is more of the respect given by the Golden Horse Awards, and she didn't think about winning the award from the beginning.

But then the award is important.

Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, also known as Golden Horse Best Actor.

This is the award nominated by Mr. You.

At the beginning in Venice, Mr. You's acting skills conquered filmmakers and audiences from all over the world, and when he won the Venice Best Actor, he applauded for five or six minutes without stopping.

What if you don't win the prize......

Now it is no longer the crew of "Sleepy Father" who is nervous at the scene, but several other actors who have been nominated for actors, Zhang Jiahui, Huang Bo, and Chen Wenbin.

It's not that they're nervous that they won't win the prize, it's that they can win.

Especially Chen Wenbin, he is the starring actor of "Can't Do Without You".

Before "Can't Do Without You" defeated "Sleepy Father" and got the best original screenplay, it was enough to be an upset.

If he defeats the Venice actor again, then ......

This award is hot.

There are two award presenters for the actor, a man and a woman, the female is a Hong Kong Island director, and the male is mainland actor Zhang Hanyu.

"Well, time flies quickly, a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and we have come to this grand gathering of filmmakers from the two sides of the strait today......" Zhang Hanyu said the opening remarks.

Soon talked about the four actors nominated for the best actor, and the cameras were given one by one, except for Old Man You, who smiled kindly and calmly, the other three were very unnatural.

"Okay, without further ado, let's announce tonight's Best Actor winner."

Zhang Hanyu opened the envelope in his hand, and the female director on Hong Kong Island on the side also came over.

"Wow......"

"Oh......"

Two voices of surprise.

"Too ...... Surprised, amazing. ”

Zhang Hanyu spoke into the microphone twice, and the female director on Hong Kong Island had already covered her mouth.

"This is unprecedented in the history of the Golden Horse Awards, and it should even be the first time in the entire Celestial Empire film industry."

The appetite of the audience has been completely hung up.

"The winner of the Golden Horse Award is "Father Trapped in Time", You Benchang, congratulations to the old man!"

As Zhang Hanyu's voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene was relaxed.

Fortunately, the Golden Horse Awards did not go all the way on the road to an upset.

Zhang Jiahui, Huang Bo, and Chen Wenbin were the first to smile, and then applauded.

"Congratulations, old man."

The crew of "Sleepy Father" hugged Old Man You one by one.

In this joyful atmosphere, everyone seemed to have forgotten what the awarder said "never before", "the first time in the Celestial Empire".

Except for the presenters themselves.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's not over yet."

Zhang Hanyu spoke up.

There was a pause in applause.

Not over yet?

What does this mean?

Don't......

"You can read it." Zhang Hanyu said to the female director next to him.

"OK, and "Witness", Zhang Jiahui."

Double yolk eggs?

Zhang Jiahui pointed at himself in disbelief.

"That's right, Jiahui." The female director of Hong Kong Island is sure to be authentic.

This time, without waiting for the applause, Zhang Hanyu said again:

And "Bullfighting", Huang Bo! Where is Huang Bo, come up. ”

If the double yolk egg is a surprise, but everyone can barely accept it, the three yolk eggs ......

Scare.

Oppugn.

Four nominations, three actors.

Does this actor still have gold content?

No one applauded, there was a long silence.

The three actors also did not come to the stage.

The two award presenters were also a little embarrassed on stage, and these three yellow eggs were indeed a bit child's play.

But it's not up to them to decide, it's up to the jury to take the blame.

Look to the jury.

Forehead......

If I'm not mistaken, is Chairman Hou asleep?

Hold your chest and close your eyes on the back of the chair.

Stay out of the way, don't disturb everything.

However, the other dozen or so judges all looked as usual, and when they saw the camera shooting, they also smiled and applauded.

When their appearance appeared on the big screen, the scene slowly burst into applause.

"Please move on to the stage."

Although Zhang Hanyu scolded his mother in his heart, he still had to ensure that the award continued.

"Old man You, I'll carry you to the stage." Qin Muchu stood up.

"No, no, I can do it myself."

Old Man You also recovered from the initial shock.

This was also the first time in his decades-long career.

"I'm still hungry for you." Qin Muchu insisted.

This aisle is step by step, if you accidentally fall in order to get a "one-third actor trophy", it is not worth it.

As if he could see that Qin Muchu was emotional, Old Man You smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Doll, the award is the recognition of others for you, but the honor is your own recognition of yourself, and you are in a photo."

Awards, honors, others, yourself......

It's like an initiation.

It is undeniable that the reason why Qin Muchu is annoyed is not only because of the three yellow eggs, but also because of the failure of so many awards before.

After the old man's order, he came to his senses.

Not only him, but Gong Li, Chen Daomin, and Zhang Manyu all thought about it.

"Old man, I have been taught." Qin Muchu said sincerely.

"Haha, okay, I'll go."

Old Man You smiled heartily, and then turned his head to look at Huang Bo standing behind him:

"Doll, you can hold me a little."

Huang Bo was also greatly touched by the old man's words just now, and immediately bowed down and said:

"Hey, okay, wait a minute."

The audience at the scene didn't know what they were talking about except for the people around them, and they only saw Huang Bo trotting and going over to help the old man You.

And the last actor winner, Zhang Jiahui, saw this scene, didn't know what he thought, and immediately trotted over.

"You Lao Department, I'll help you on the street."

When he arrived beside Old Man You, Zhang Jiahui said in half-baked Mandarin.

But Old Man You understood, and said with a smile:

"Okay, then I'll rely on the old and sell the old once."

"No, no, that's what we should do." Huang Bolian said.

Zhang Jiahui is not good at Chinese, and he nodded his head in agreement.

And just like that, a bizarre scene appeared.

There are three actors in total, and the younger two are like personal guards, supporting the old one and slowly walking to the stage.

The applause sounded at some point, like a tide, "waking up" the "sleeping" chairman of the jury, Hou Xiaoxian.

He opened his eyes, and the three people who were walking on the big screen showed a smile for the first time tonight, and the hands holding his chest were put down and applauded.

"At my age, I am honored to receive this award and honor......

Old man You began to say his acceptance speech.

"I've been through difficult times, and I've seen this best era, good directors, good actors, so many that I should have quit early, instead of still occupying a position here."

He looked at the two young actors around him, and there was no resentment in his eyes that he couldn't monopolize the actor, only a little guilt.

Re-visualize the audience:

"Thanks to the tolerance of this era, so that I, an old man who still wants to act and can act, can still stand on the stage I love."

After speaking, the old man took a step back and bowed deeply.

For some reason, Qin Muchu suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist.

This is the most sincere love for this industry that has been honed over the years.

Unconsciously driven, he unconsciously stood up.

Suddenly, I realized that the people around me and the whole audience all stood up.

I would like to pay the highest respect to the old man who bowed deeply on the stage, and to that love.
