Chapter 221: Taipei

The weather in Beijing has cooled down in November, and it's time to wear a sweater jacket, but Taipei is at the end of summer, and you can go out with short sleeves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The date of stay in Taiwan with an entry permit is 15 days, and the Golden Horse Award ceremony was held on November 22, so Cao Ping chose to set off on the 18th.

When he arrived at Taoyuan Airport, as soon as he got out of the pick-up gate, Liao Fan was fenced off. Before leaving, he and Cao Ping agreed to go together, so he booked a flight with the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife".

At the beginning of the year, after "Fireworks in the Day" won the golden and silver bears of the Berlin Film Festival in one fell swoop, Liao Fan has become popular all over the country. If it is said that in the mainland, he still hides a lot of attention because of his low profile, but in Taiwan Province, his reputation is much bigger. In this year's Golden Horse Awards, "Fireworks in the Day" has a total of eight nominations, including the best film, best director, best male and female lead and other awards with the highest gold content, becoming the favorite to win the award, and Liao Fan, who was the first to appear, suddenly became the news material sought after by Taiwanese reporters.

Lu Yang was also blocked by several reporters handing the microphone for interviews, asking about his expectations for the award of the embroidered spring knife. This time, "Embroidered Spring Knife" also has five nominations, and Lu Yang, as a cutting-edge director, is also very happy to be interviewed.

But Cao Ping himself didn't expect that seven or eight reporters also surrounded him, and the microphone was stuffed in front of him. He originally wanted to get in the car with the crew first and wait for Lu Yang and them to come over, but this situation made him a little stunned, when did he become so well-known in Taiwan? Seeing that Cao Ping was surrounded, the crew stylist Liang Tingting and the two editors got into the car first. Cao Ping only brought Song Xue and Sister Dao this time, and Sister Dao had already stepped forward to separate the reporters, but the reporters still stretched out the microphone from next to Sister Dao's head and under the armpit and put it towards Cao Ping's mouth.

"Mr. Cao Ping, may I ask you ......?"

"Mr. Cao Ping, may I ask you ...... Next Magazine?"

"Mr. Cao Ping......"

Song Xue was still calmer and said loudly: "Please be quiet, can you say hello one by one?"

After maintaining order for a while, and finally quieting down, Song Xue began to ask questions by name.

The scale of Taiwan's entertainment industry is indeed larger than that of the mainland, and a reporter from "Exclusive Report" came up and asked: "Mr. Cao Ping, during the Golden Horse Awards last year, Miss Zhang Ziyi mentioned your name twice in her acceptance speech, what do you think of the rumors that you were in a relationship at that time on the Internet?"

Why do you still remember last year's events? Are these reporters here to ask this kind of question? Cao Ping didn't know about this matter, and many reporters had a vengeance against him in the past when they stayed up late and worked overtime to no avail. Frowning slightly, Cao Ping was a little unhappy, how dare Taiwan's gossip newspapers ask anything? The relationship between Sister Zhang and Wang Feng was made public last month, what do you want to do with this idiot question at this time?

Song Xue had already opened her mouth to answer for him: "You also said that it was a rumor, it is nonsense at all, next one." ā€

The reporter did not give up and interjected: "I am asking Mr. Cao Ping, why do you avoid talking about this issue?

Cao Ping stopped Song Xue and said: "This journalist friend, first of all, it is a very rude question for you to ask me a baseless Internet rumor, what do you mean by repeatedly forcing me to ask? I think this question is ridiculous, and there is no need to answer it at all, but since you have repeatedly asked questions, I will answer you head-on." Miss Zhang Ziyi is a very good actress, and she also made her relationship with Mr. Wang Feng public last month, I wish them well. Then, as for the fact that she mentioned my name twice in her speech at the last Golden Horse Awards, I am also very grateful to her. At that time, I was the martial arts instructor of the crew of "The Grandmaster", and it was a great honor for her to be able to do this. Finally, if you're still asking nonsense questions, I'll contact a lawyer to sue your newspaper. ā€

These reporters are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and when they see that Cao Ping is a new face, they want to induce him to say something that he can't say and make a big news. But I didn't expect Cao Ping's mentality to be so steady, and he answered reporters' questions without leakage, neither humility nor arrogance, and finally scolded "Exclusive Report", which made the newspapers present dare not ask any more blind questions.

Most of the reporters surrounding Cao Ping were reporters from small newspapers and periodicals, and they couldn't grab the position in front of Liao Fan, so they wanted to come to Cao Ping to pick up a leak, but when they saw that there was no cheap advantage, they scattered a few, but there were still a few reporters left in front of Cao Ping, wanting to try their luck.

Song Xue ordered a reporter again, this time it was a relatively large magazine, and the reporter was a little more restrained when he asked a question: "Mr. Cao Ping, do you think there is a chance of winning the Golden Horse Award this time?"

It's much easier to talk about problems like this, and most agencies will deal with situations like artist training. Song Xue also gave Cao Ping something like "Entertainment 500 Questions and Standard Answers" to see, but for this kind of problem, as long as you ensure that you don't offend people, there will basically be no big problems, so there is no difficulty. Cao Ping replied casually: "I already feel very lucky to be shortlisted, after all, there are so many excellent films and filmmakers who can be nominated, which is also the biggest encouragement for me, and I will continue to work hard." Of course, I would be even happier if I won the award. ā€

"Hello, Mr. Cao Ping, I am a reporter from Next Magazine, two weeks ago our magazine interviewed Mr. Jin Shijie about the shortlisting for Best Actor, during the interview he mentioned his recent work, which also includes you, and he praised you as the future of Chinese action movies, what do you think?"

Cao Ping was stunned, how could he not know this news? He glanced at Song Xue, but he was also puzzled when he saw her. As if seeing his doubts, the reporter said: "I'm sorry I didn't bring the magazine, but I should have bought it in the airport bookstore." ā€

If it's a scolding, it's still a fabrication, but if it's a compliment, it's still very possible. Cao Ping himself has a good relationship with Mr. Jin, and it is possible for him to use the media to help him say two good words, but he has to owe him a favor again, and he has to visit him this time to thank him personally.

Cao Ping responded with a smile: "Mr. Jin praised it falsely, there are many excellent action filmmakers in my country, and I am just one of them." Of course, I also hope to make more good-looking movies to give back to the audience and contribute to the Chinese action film industry. I collaborated with Mr. Jin Shijie on a new martial arts movie "Master", which was filmed by director Xu Haofeng and will be released next year. Different from Jin Yong and Gu Long's fantasy martial arts, it is a martial arts movie with a different style, I hope to give the audience a different viewing experience, thank you!"

The answer was still leaky, and a new movie was promoted, Song Xue looked at Cao Ping very happily, and continued to click on the next reporter.

"Mr. Cao Ping, may I ask you ......?"

After working for a long time, I answered several reporters' questions, but some reporters who interviewed Liao Fan and Lu Yang saw that there were people around here, and they also came over, seeing that there were more and more people, and the questions were becoming more and more strange, Cao Ping quickly stopped, ended his answer, and walked outside, where Liao Fan was still surrounded by groups, and Lu Yang had already walked out.

The places to stay are all booked together, seeing that Liao Fan can't get out, Cao Ping and Lu Yang hurriedly got into the car first, and after another half an hour, Liao Fan ran into the car under the escort of the assistant and drove towards the hotel.

Zhang Zhen is very buddy, and sent an assistant to pick them up, and he booked the vehicle and accommodation for the pick-up, and also booked a hotel to pick them up at night.

Sitting in Zhang Zhen's company's car, Liang Tingting was very excited to chat with Zhang Zhen's assistant, and took out her mobile phone from time to time to take a few photos outside.

Cao Ping also looked at the appearance of the outside with curiosity, but it didn't look much different from the mainland, except for the talkative driver's master full of "death" and "Wa Garigon", judging from the streets and buildings, it is not even as prosperous as Xi'an, let alone Beijing. However, the large and small facades on the street and the electric cars speeding by have a familiar atmosphere of market life, which makes people feel that living here is not so unacceptable.

After returning to the hotel, he put down his luggage and took a shower, and Cao Ping sent a WeChat message to Yingbao to report his safety.

Ying Bao will be in the crew, filming a Chinese New Year film shot by Wanda, it seems to be called "Surprise All the Way", and you can tell by looking at the name that it is a road comedy film imitating Thailand. Wanda is rich and rich, and there are a lot of celebrities invited, and Yingbao also went to join in the fun.

She was still busy over there, and without saying a few words, Cao Ping hung up the phone.

Before the time for dinner in the evening, Cao Ping was unfamiliar with life, so he lay on the bed and watched TV. Taiwan's TV programs have really opened Cao Ping's eyes, the atmosphere is quite open, even the news programs are like variety entertainment programs, and all kinds of comments on current affairs are quite daring. This kind of program, put in the mainland, let alone broadcast on TV, I don't even dare to write it in the book, just like the show about *%Ā„%%#%##Ā„*& ļæ„&*#&#...... Have a little fun.

In the evening, Zhang Zhen came over after being busy, so he accompanied everyone to have a meal, and Liao Fan also followed a meal of Taiwanese food. However, everyone didn't eat too much, after all, many people are coming to Taiwan for the first time, and they must have seen Taiwan's night market culture.

After eating something casually, everyone set off together towards the Shilin Night Market to press the road.

Taiwan's entertainment atmosphere is very open, as if it is not strange to artists. As soon as I arrived at the Shilin Night Market, there was a TV program crew filming food programs, and passers-by were all watching and taking pictures, and there was no big commotion.

However, after Zhang Zhen appeared, there were still some crazy situations. The youngest actor of the Golden Horse Awards has accumulated a strong fan base in Taiwan since he was a child, and although he did the covering work, he was still recognized, making a large group of female fans scream and surround him.

It was really impossible to go shopping like this, so Zhang Zhen said hello to everyone apologetically and left first.

After Zhang Zhen left, the pressure suddenly decreased a lot, although Liao Fan is also quite famous in Taiwan, but after all, he became popular overnight, and he is more famous in the industry, and his fan base is still not as good as Zhang Zhen.

The night market can't gather people, and soon, everyone scattered and went shopping, Cao Ping, Song Xue, and Sister Dao walked together, curiously looking at the food stalls full of streets.

Song Xue also came to Taiwan for the first time, and she was very excited to make bold statements, saying that she wanted to eat all the way from this end, but after eating a few stalls, her combat effectiveness decreased significantly, and Sister Dao ate a few relatively novel things without hurry, so she didn't continue, but Cao Ping ate very energetically, and took photos for Yingbao while eating, and Yingbao, who was greedy, could only let Cao Ping eat one for her.
