Chapter 132: The Golden Statue Award, all the stars support the moon
After Liu Sisi and Yang Mi left, Qin Chuan’s RV calmed down again, leaving only Liu Yifei and Wang Tingting.
In the afternoon, Qin Chuan had just finished filming a scene. Before he got into the RV, he shouted: "Xixi, I found a health store. Let's finish work in the evening and wash our feet together."
As soon as he stepped onto the RV, he saw a livid Liu Xiaoli sitting opposite Liu Yifei. Qin Chuan withdrew one foot in an emergency.
Turn around and leave.
It is better to do less than to do more.
"Why are you running? Stop right there."
Qin Chuan forced a smile: "Auntie, I remember there is something else going on on the set. You guys can talk about it."
"If there's anything wrong, please stop here. I asked you why this girl is getting more and more courageous. It turns out she was all fooled by you. Last time she went back, she said she wanted to practice martial arts and horseback riding. She said she wanted to film a martial arts scene. But she almost fell into the water yesterday. No, she wasn’t like this before.”
"Now it's even more outrageous. You have to take her to wash her feet. Is that a place where girls should go?"
"Our Xixi became evil just because she got to know you."
In Liu Xiaoli's words, Qin Chuan is just a scumbag now, and does everything except good things.
Liu Yifei learned bad things just by following him.
My daughter used to be very obedient and well-behaved, but Xianjian started to change. She talked back to herself, quarreled, and didn't listen to adults.
Shen Diao went even further and asked her not to do a martial arts scene but she insisted on doing one.
If you are good enough, you still need to learn how to be a swordsman. This is because you are influenced by Qin Chuan.
God knows how she felt when her assistant called her yesterday and told her that Liu Yifei had fallen into the water.
Put down what you are doing and fly over today.
Just after teaching Liu Yifei a lesson, Qin Chuan came to his door before he even talked about it, and he opened his mouth to take his daughter to wash her feet.
Who is a good person who would wash feet?
Behind Qin Chuan, Wang Tingting's expression changed, feeling aggrieved for Qin Chuan.
Looking at Qin Chuan again, the smile on his face remained unchanged, he turned his head, walked up to the RV and said, "Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right."
Liu Xiaoli was so angry that her lips trembled.
Liu Yifei said aggrievedly: "Qin Chuan, please don't be angry with my mother."
Qin Chuan shrugged and said nothing, poured a glass of water, and sat down with his legs crossed.
"Bata."
And lit a cigarette.
Liu Xiaoli pointed at Qin Chuan with trembling fingers and said to Liu Yifei: "You are still talking to him."
"I didn't. Besides, it was all thanks to Qin Chuan this time. If it weren't for him, I would have been washed away by the water."
"If it weren't for him, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to learn swordsmanship, let alone martial arts, and you wouldn't be able to film martial arts scenes!"
"Six." Qin Chuan smiled and blew out the smoke.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Xiaoli said, "Am I wrong?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"You, don't keep saying this over and over again."
Liu Xiaoli didn't know why, but she felt upset when she heard these words.
"Also, is it appropriate for you to smoke in the car in front of women?"
Qin Chuan nodded: "That makes sense, but it's indeed inappropriate."
Half a minute later, Liu Xiaoli was asked to get out of the car.
Qin Chuan puffed out smoke and said, "It'll be fine now."
"You, you, you, do you still have some quality? Xixi, come down here."
Liu Xiaoli shouted outside, but Liu Yifei pretended not to hear, and said to Qin Chuan: "Can't you talk to my mother in a friendly manner?"
Qin Chuan was helpless: "How can you be so nice? My aunt is prejudiced against me. This inherent impression is difficult to break."
"Look, I fished you out of the water yesterday, and in her eyes, you became something other than mine."
"I think unless I put the B-ultrasound sheet in front of her, she won't have anything good to say about me in this life."
Liu Yifei didn't understand: "What does B-ultrasound scan mean?"
Outside the RV, Liu Xiaoli was already looking for stones when she heard the words B-ultrasound.
In the end, I picked up a piece weighing more than ten kilograms.
There was a lot of commotion here, and of course the crew could hear it, but no one dared to come over to dissuade them.
Now seeing Liu Xiaoli being kicked out of the car and looking for rocks, Zhao Jian couldn't sit still.
"Sister Liu, don't be like this. If you have something to say, please speak it up."
"Let's put the stone down first."
"There is no overnight feud between mother and daughter. No matter what happens, just talk about it."
Zhao Jian thought it was Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli who were arguing.
"What's an overnight feud? I'm trying to hurt Qin Chuan. This guy is not a good person. You didn't hear what he said."
Zhao Jian was confused. Qin Chuan had just saved someone yesterday, and he thought Liu Xiaoli came here specifically to thank him.
Why did he want to hit someone?
“What did he say?”
"I, I, I." Liu Xiaoli was embarrassed to talk about the B-ultrasound order.
At this time, Liu Yifei got down from the RV and also persuaded him.
Finally, Liu Xiaoli put the stone down, angrily scolded Liu Yifei, and warned her not to play with Qin Chuan in the future.
After Liu Xiaoli left, Zhao Jian got into the RV.
I laughed immediately.
Qin Chuan is eating now. There are several dishes on the table and a bottle of red wine.
"Director Zhao, would you like some?"
"They were all ordered from the hotel. They were just made this afternoon. They are fresh."
"Can you still eat?" Zhao Jian sat across from Qin Chuan: "What's going on with you? Why did Liu Yifei's mother scold you?"
Qin Chuan slowly repeated Liu Xiaoli's words.
Zhao Jian frowned when he heard this: "This is so unreasonable. It's none of your business that Liu Yifei learns to be a swordsman. It's not her own choice."
Qin Chuan ate without raising his head: "Actually, it's related to something else. It was me who suggested she learn Dao Ma Dan."
Zhao Jian: "..."
"But in the final analysis, filming the martial arts scene was Liu Yifei's insistence. Falling into the water was also an accident. You jumped into the water to save people immediately. It's not too much to say that you are a lifesaver. For her to say that about you is too much."
"Who says it's not the case?" Qin Chuan felt aggrieved.
Zhao Jian felt a little wronged for Qin Chuan, but he could only say that Liu Xiaoli's reasons were too far-fetched.
"Why did she get out of the car again?"
"She said I shouldn't smoke in the car in front of women."
Zhao Jian looked strange: "So, don't tell me that you kicked her out?"
Qin Chuan said seriously: "This is my car, I can't get out of it, right?"
Zhao Jian was speechless: "No wonder she scolded you so harshly."
Who wouldn't scold me?
"I saw her outside just now picking up rocks to throw at you. She said your words were unpleasant. What did you say again?"
"It's nothing, I just made an analogy..."
After hearing this, Zhao Jian also lit a cigarette and said after silence: "Your mouth seems to have been quenched with poison. I wouldn't be surprised if someone put a sack on you and beat you one day while walking on the street."
He finally heard that Qin Chuan did it on purpose.
Not to mention Liu Xiaoli, it was a bit unbearable to put herself in the other party's position.
Where did Huang Mao come from to be so arrogant?
Fortunately, Liu Yifei got out of the car in the end, otherwise Liu Xiaoli would probably blow up the car.
"I don't care about your housework, and I can't control it. Just finish filming the scenes first. After filming is completed, you can quarrel as much as you like."
Fortunately, the next scenes between the two are not together.
We have finished shooting here in Jiuzhaigou and will go to Xiangshan Film and Television Base in a few days.
The next day, Qin Chuan asked for leave.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. Before the Spring Festival, he is going to the Academy Awards.
Before leaving, I sent a text message to Liu Yifei.
Ask her to help pick someone up.
"Hello, I'm from the Chinese Medicine Health Center. Mr. Qin asked me to come over."
Outside the crew cordon, a woman in her thirties stood in front of Liu Yifei carrying a small box.
Liu Yifei said: "Qin Chuan asked for leave and is not here."
"I know, he was the one who asked me to give you a shoulder and neck massage."
"Give me?"
"yes."
Liu Yifei was moved. She had just complained about her heavy hair and cervical discomfort before, but she didn't expect Qin Chuan to still remember it.
No wonder he asked himself to wash his feet yesterday.
As a result, my mother misunderstood me and scolded me for no reason.
Now all the masters are invited to the door.
Five minutes later, Liu Yifei was in the tent.
"ah!"
Under the massage from the staff of the health center, Liu Yifei screamed in pain.
Liu Xiaoli was also worried and said: "Just press it lightly."
"This is not a matter of severity. The pain indicates that her cervical spine is not good. It is quite serious. Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it will be the root cause of the disease in the future."
"It's better to wear your hair as little as possible in the future. It's too heavy. It not only compresses the cervical spine, but also compresses the nerves."
"Also, you have to treat it for half an hour every day."
"It's so serious." Liu Xiaoli's expression changed drastically.
"Definitely."
…
Hong Kong Island.
This is not the first time Qin Chuan has come here. He came here when he was auditioning for a Chinese Ghost Story, and some scenes for the filming of A Chinese Ghost Story were also shot here.
After finding a hotel to stay with Wang Tingting, he sent a text message to Zhou Xingchi to tell him the news of his arrival.
afternoon.
After putting on makeup and a suit, Qin Chuan arrived at the Academy Awards.
When he was auditioning for Sword and Fairy last year, he rented an Armani set.
The set I am wearing now is the same as the one before, but it is not rented, but custom-made, and the size is more suitable.
The scene was packed with people, including hundreds of media reporters, and well-known artists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It was raining a little, and Wang Tingting walked beside him and held up an umbrella for him.
Qin Chuan turned his head and looked at her shoulders that were almost wet: "Let's get another umbrella."
Wang Tingting shook her head: "Have you seen how many celebrities at the scene hold their own umbrellas? They are so cool, do you understand?"
Qin Chuan smiled, he really didn't understand.
For example, at the scene, guests will sign in, queue up to walk on the red carpet, and sign on the signature wall.
With so many people, this will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Hundreds of artists have to wait in the rain just to step on the red carpet for tens of seconds. Is it worth it?
More than an hour later, the host called Qin Chuan’s name.
After adjusting his suit, Qin Chuan put one hand in his pocket and stepped onto the red carpet.
"Click."
"Click."
"Click."
Hundreds of camera flashes come and go, which can blind people's eyes.
Thanks to Qin Chuan's training in Peking Opera, his ability to keep his eyes focused and not blinking for several minutes is a basic skill.
The red carpet is only two meters wide and dozens of meters long. After walking on it, it feels like you have arrived at the center of the world.
Countless people's eyes were focused on him.
Qin Chuan felt as if he was surrounded by the world.
Stars holding the moon, this is what it feels like.
The wait of more than an hour was indeed well worth the wait.
On the signature wall, Qin Chuan held a marker in his hand, leaving his name on the Academy Awards for the first time.
Qin Chuan, the two characters are written three or four times larger than others, which is very eye-catching.
The artists who saw it smiled, and some of them mentally called him a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Returning the pen to the etiquette lady, Qin Chuan strode into the infield.
There are fewer media reporters here, and more of them are big shots in the industry.
In the first row in front, Qin Chuan saw Liu Dehua, one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Brother Hua."
"Qin Chuan, we meet again."
"Yeah, I'll see you in two days."
"How's the song going? My hometown is in that village."
Afraid that Qin Chuan would forget, Liu Dehua reminded him.
"No problem, it's pretty much written. By the time of the Spring Festival Gala, it should be finished."
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. You write slowly. I see on the nomination list that you are the Best Supporting Actor tonight. Congratulations."
Qin Chuan said modestly: "There are too many outstanding seniors, I'm just going through the motions."
Liu Dehua said meaningfully: "That's not necessarily the case."
After greeting Liu Dehua, Qin Chuan found his position. The entire kung fu crew was together. The position was in the middle of the auditorium. The position that the camera could easily scan was the C position.
"Sister Qiu, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Hello, Brother Wang."
"Baye, you are in good health."
They were all from the Kung Fu crew. Qin Chuan knew them and he greeted them one by one.
This time, Kung Fu was nominated for sixteen categories, including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Martial Arts Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art... too many.
In this year's Academy Awards, kung fu is definitely the most dazzling presence.
The myth of a global box office of 800 million has also made Zhou Xingchi stand at the pinnacle of Chinese movies.
Not long after Qin Chuan sat down, Zhou Xingchi arrived. Starting from the gate, everyone stood up to greet him wherever he went, shaking hands with others, saying hello to others, and those who did not say hello did not dare to sit down.
"This is strength." Qin Chuan clapped his hands and said enviously.
This is what a man should do!
This one can be replaced... This one is a bit immovable.
One actor a year, Zhou Xingchi for a hundred years, these words are really not bragging.
It has been 104 years since 1901, when the first movie theater on Hong Kong Island was built, the Happy Garden.
Kung Fu has the highest box office among local movies in Hong Kong.
Many box office champions are Zhou Xingchi who constantly breaks through himself.
There are only two or three people who can fight with him, and there are only a handful of them.
In the past ten years, Cheng Long was the only one who could compete with him.
Even Chow Yun-fa can't do it.
Later director Wang Jin once said that Zhou Xingchi is the best actor, and no one may be able to surpass him in the next fifty years.
Many people label Zhou Xingchi as a genius or a geek.
Some foreign media even commented that he is the Chaplin of the East.
It's not that Qin Chuan thinks that he won't be as good as Zhou Xingchi at the box office in this life, nor that he won't be as good as him in terms of awards in the future.
But times make heroes.
There are only one or two such master-level entertainment celebrities in an era and cannot be copied.
"Master Xing!"
"Master Xing!"
"Director Zhou!"
It took Zhou Xingchi more than ten minutes to reach his seat and sit down. There were too many people asking him to say hello.
I chose a few familiar friends to chat with the boss for a few words, but he ignored the rest.
Some movie king, movie queen, or king of movies, he hung his hand in the air, smiled angrily, and then put it back in embarrassment.
After sitting down, Zhou Xingchi said to Qin Chuan, "I heard that you are going to the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Good luck."
"You are indeed lucky, you will win a prize tonight."
"Thank you Ji Yan."
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Qin Chuan found that Zhou Xingchi was a little older.
His hair is gray and he has stubble.
Only in his forties, he looks sixty.
But today he wore a black suit with a white shirt and black tie, just like the gambling saint Ashing back then.
Half an hour later, the Academy Awards began.
Qin Chuan didn't pay much attention to the opening remarks and song and dance performance. He just noticed that Zhou Xingchi was very happy today and was chatting with the people around him.
This is the most smiling day since he met Zhou Xingchi.
Soon, the first awards were announced.
Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu were the award presenters.
Tony Leung first glanced at the award card and smiled: "The 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the best film is..."
"Kung Fu!" Zhang Manyu continued the second half of the sentence.
Zhou Xingchi smiled, stood up, waved to the camera, and hugged Qin Chuan and others around him.
Walking onto the stage, Zhou Xingchi took the trophy from Liang Chaowei.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
The two are old rivals and old acquaintances.
Many people don’t know that they grew up together.
We were good friends before we debuted.
Liang Chaowei was also happy for him when he won the Kung Fu award this time.
"Thank you to the National Film Administration, thank you to Columbia, thank you to the conference..." Zhou Xingchi raised the trophy in his hand.
It was a good start, and Zhou Xingchi was also a little excited.
After his acceptance speech, there was another round of singing and dancing, and then a new presenter took the stage.
The second award is for Best Director.
Having been in the industry for many years, Zhou Xingchi has directed many movies, many of which have topped the box office.
What's interesting is that in all these years, Shaolin Football has only won the Best Director once in the past few years.
This time, the global box office totaled 800 million. Zhou Xingchi felt that this result should be able to silence the judges.
"The 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the best director is, Mongkok Night."
Zhou Xingchi’s smile froze, and countless people cast meaningful glances.
The winner, Er Dongsheng, was a little surprised that he could win the award.
In just two seconds, Zhou Xingchi's smile returned to its original state and he applauded and congratulated his colleagues.
The Kung Fu crew was quiet, no one dared to speak.
The next award is Best Actor.
Zhou Xingchi is also one of the nominees.
From the first time he was nominated for Best Actor in 1990, to now, in the past fifteen years, he has been nominated eight times in total.
Zhou Xingchi has been hit once, in the last Shaolin Football.
This time, he didn't think his performance was any worse than last time.
It's time for him to be the best actor.
Next to him, Qin Chuan sighed inwardly. As someone who has been through this, he knew the ending very well, and he also knew how deep Zhou Xingchi's obsession with winning the Academy Award was.
Before Westward Journey, the judges refused to award him Best Actor, saying he had no acting skills.
So he bombarded the judges and showed off his acting skills in Westward Journey, changing five or six expressions in a few seconds.
In the end, the judges still didn't give him the Best Actor Award.
In today's session, according to historical trajectory, Zhou Xingchi still missed.
"The 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the Best Actor is Tony Leung Chiu-wai."
On the stage, when the presenter read out Liang Chaowei's name, Zhou Xingchi could no longer hold his nerve.
He put away his smile and looked lonely.
Qin Chuan looked at him without saying a word.
He knew that after this one, Zhou Xingchi would never come to the Academy Awards again, and he would not play anymore.
