That year Huayu

"You want me to go on a promotional tour with the crew? You really know how to push people to your limits!"

Han Sanping made fun of Lin Nan with a hint of teasing in his tone.

He felt a little aggrieved and upset when he was "forced" to take on a role before, so it would be great to be able to take part in the role.

As for cooperating with publicity? It was impossible to even think about it at that time.

"As I said, you, Director Han, are the leading actor, the most important leading actor, how can you be absent?

The Tong Bureau has already agreed that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will get a release permit before the end of the month, so there will be no problem. When it is released during the Spring Festival, you alone can handle a box office of 300 million! "

Lin Nan flattered her through the phone.

In fact, it’s not flattering, Han Sanping really brought huge topic traffic and attention to the movie.

"Can you pull me down and let me carry 300 million by myself? My reputation has been ruined in your hands.

Jia Nu asks me to watch the news about "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" on the Internet every day, and 30% of them are making fun of me..."

Han Sanping was laughing and scolding, but Lin Nan could tell that he was in a pretty good mood now.

Because although there are many comments online about Han Sanping's role as "Mountain Eagle", most of them are positive and complimentary.

Countless netizens admire him. As the aloof chairman of China Film Group Corporation, he dares to take on the role of "Mountain Eagle" and is able to put down his face and make "sacrifice" for the movie!

Of course, most of them were joking about Lin Nan, saying that he was ruthless enough that not only was he not "killed" by Han Sanping, but he also succeeded in dragging him down.

"Director Han, you have nothing to do when you are free, right?" Lin Nan invited again with a smile.

"Who says I'm idle? I'm still a consultant to the bureau."

"What do you think?"

Han Sanping resisted for a while, but finally agreed "reluctantly". During this period, his mentality changed a lot and he became easier to talk to.

"Okay, let Guo Fan and the others choose some more formal talk shows, movie channels, etc., and I'll follow along."

"Okay, no problem. I'll ask Junior Sister Han to join us. Father and daughter are on the same crew. What a story! Don't you think so? Haha..."

"Uncle, get out of here right now..."

…………

The mainland film industry is not counting on the November schedule at all.

There are more than 30 domestic movies, which are really terrible. Many of them have been in the theater for two or three days before sinking to the bottom.

The eyes of the industry have all turned to the Lunar New Year stalls.

"No Man's Land", "Big Four 2", "Private Order", "The Storm", "New Police Story 2013", etc. They are either big directors or big casts.

Although it has just entered late November, you can already clearly feel the chilling atmosphere of the December Lunar New Year holiday, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

"We all know that you are going to Hollywood to watch "The Invisible Guest" and to participate in the public relations during the awards season, so many invitations for the two of us were sent directly to Red Star Station."

Liu Yifei held a stack of premiere invitations for Lunar New Year movies, shook them in front of Lin Nan, and threw them on the table.

"Then while you are promoting the movie, if you are interested, go and have a look. If you don't want to go, just tell Yue Jun or Jiang Yanrou and let them handle it."

Lin Nan looked through the invitations on the table. All the famous movies were here.

Starting next month, there will be a box office battle between "No Man's Land" and "The Big Four 2." Both movies were released in early October, only three days apart.

"Sissi, help me pack my luggage." Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei's watery eyes and said softly.

"But, after you go to the Golden Horse to present the award, isn't there still nearly a week until next month? Are you really not coming back?"

Liu Yifei pouted, her eyes moving with some reluctance.

"Go there early, get ready early, Leonardo and the others are also urging you." Lin Nan smiled and shook his head gently.

Miss Liu frowned slightly, but she knew that business was important. After a moment, she said in a soft voice:

"Well, well, you come back early. And remember what I say."

"It's natural. I'll go there for a week. If everything goes well, I'll come back in the middle of next month. The rest of the PR receptions and parties will be left to Leon and Tom."

…………

The Golden Horse has been opening for a few days, and with the closing ceremony and awards ceremony approaching, Lin Nan had to set off.

On the morning of the 23rd, he took his two assistants and drove straight to the Capital Airport in a company car.

Liu Yifei did not come to see Lin Nan off in person this time. As the producer of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", she had to meet up with Guo Fan and others. Today's arrangement is to go to the movie channel.

At the airport, reporters accurately targeted Lin Nan, who did not stop and just nodded from a distance.

"The closing ceremony of the 50th Golden Horse Awards will be held tonight. Several mainland filmmakers are the favorites to win the award!"

"Director Lin Nan boarded the plane at about 8 o'clock in the morning and flew to Taipei. He will appear at the Golden Horse Gala as an important award guest."

…

Before getting on the plane, Li An made a phone call to confirm Lin Nan's itinerary.

When he learned that nothing would go wrong, he felt relieved.

The direct flight lasted about three hours, and Lin Nan passed it by reading the script for a while.

When the plane landed at Taipei Airport, it was just a quarter past eleven in the morning.

"Director Lin, the organizer has a special fleet to pick up the airport." Two assistants pulled the suitcase and reminded Lin Nan.

"Oh, it's true. It's the 50th anniversary, that's a bit generous! We paid for it at our own expense last year, haha..."

Lin Nan joked bluntly, and the two assistants also laughed.

"Director Lin, welcome to Jinma, please..."

The three of them were immediately put into two cars and headed to the reception hotel. In less than ten minutes, Li An and others received news that Lin Nan had arrived.

To be honest, there are not many filmmakers like Lin Nan who were "late in coming" on the day of the awards ceremony.

But in other words, Lin Nan also has this qualification, and he is not in a hurry.

Although the Golden Horse Awards are Chinese-language awards, the filmmakers who can participate are invisibly divided into camps.

Taiwanese mainland, Hong Kong area, Southeast Asia, and the mainland filmmaker team with the largest market.

Lin Nan, by default, is regarded as a representative figure among mainland filmmakers.

The car drove all the way to one of the hotels where the film crews, filmmakers, actors and artists attending the Golden Horse Awards were staying.

As soon as Lin Nan got off the car, he saw acquaintances, Li Xuejian and Jia Zhangke, wearing Chinese tunic suits, walking outside.

"Teacher Li, Director Jia."

"It's Lin Nan. It's just a coincidence that you're here. I was talking about you just now."

Li Xuejian didn't speak quickly, but the smile on his face was warm.

"Just now we were talking about which award you would give out today." Jia Zhangke said with a smile.

"I don't know yet, but I hope to give awards to Director Jia and Teacher Li."

Lin Nan smiled politely, then asked his assistant to take the luggage in and put it away, and he took a walk for a while.

"Why did you come here today with two suitcases?" Li Xuejian asked doubtfully.

"After the awards ceremony, I'm going to fly to Hollywood."

"I just remembered, Director Lin's "The Invisible Guest" is about to be released. This is an Oscar-winning film." Jia Zhangke explained to Li Xuejian.

"Oh, you have to work hard. If you win the prize, your teacher will definitely be very happy."

Li Xuejian also made a joke. He and Tian Zhuangzhuang are cousins ​​who have a very close relationship.

The three of them just walked around talking and laughing outside. From time to time, people from the Hong Kong community passed by and said hello.

Among the Golden Horse nominations, film crews from the Hong Kong industry account for the majority.

…………

This time at noon is the most critical time before the awards ceremony.

Actors, especially young actresses and those who consider themselves young, "shut up" and don't eat while still putting on makeup for hours.

Just for one or two minutes to compete for beauty on the red carpet!

When I followed Li Xuejian and Jia Zhangke into the restaurant, I saw only one familiar face, that was Huang Bo.

This guy is not only the host, but he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

"Director Lin, I look forward to you handing the trophy to me tonight.

"You? I think you're very worried. Teacher Li and Tong Dawei are blocking you in front of you. Besides, I don't necessarily award the Best Supporting Actor."

"Friendship and seniority don't matter on the field, Teacher Xuejian, I won't give in to you." Huang Bo joked with a stern look on his face.

"Easy to say, easy to say, everyone can take it the same." Li Xuejian nodded and smiled.

…

Since one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan has been resting in the room and had a video call with Liu Yifei.

After that, people kept coming to harass me, including mainland actors, Hong Kong actors, and even Taiwanese actors. Actresses always wore cooler clothes.

"Good guys, I came here alone. If I let you in, I don't know what gossip it will become if word spreads."

At almost four o'clock in the afternoon, all the actors in the hotel started to move.

Everyone has to go to the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, where the awards ceremony will be held.

In the season of November, it gets dark relatively early. It is estimated that it will be completely dark when walking on the red carpet at the closing ceremony.

Lin Nan stood in the hotel lobby wearing a neat suit. Many people around him said hello to him.

"Director Lin, would you like to arrange a companion for you?" The staff member ran over and asked.

Hearing this, many actresses nearby lit up.

If Lin Nan is willing, many people should recommend themselves, especially actresses.

But his answer disappointed many people: "No, I can do it alone."

One by one, the crew and actors got into the car and left.

At about 4:30, it was Lin Nan's turn, and he was also one of the filmmakers in the finale.

There were several long lines of convoys converging together, making it even more slow and congested.

Lin Nan sat in the car and simply played with her mobile phone.

Zhu Yawen is a newlywed guy who is too lazy to go on his honeymoon, yet he spreads his dog food among the group every day.

He advised this one to find a partner quickly, and that one to get married quickly, and even teased Luo Jin intentionally or unintentionally. :

"Is there anyone in the bridesmaid group that you like or want to hook up with? I can match you with you, buddy."

This kind of teasing caused everyone in the group to ask questions.

…………

The sky was getting dark, and Lin Nan's car was approaching its destination.

The music and lights were extraordinarily eye-catching, and there were noisy shouts from a large number of fans.

"Director Lin, we are here."

"good."

When Lin Nan got out of the car, he glanced over and saw a huge sea of ​​people outside the barrier, with various support signs shining brightly. Lin Nan had almost never heard of the names above.

The top star lineup in the waiting area fully reflects the grandeur of the "50th Anniversary of the Golden Horse".

Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Zheng Xiuwen, Liu Jialing, Zhao Wei...

Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chaowei, Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Liu Qingyun, Ti Lung... Zhang Hanyu, Tong Dawei...

"Director Lin." Liu Dehua waved to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan also waved from a distance, but did not go there. The Hong Kong camp was there and he was too lazy to go.

At this time, the jury also came in and the red carpet had already begun.

"Director Lin, after you walk down the red carpet, there will be a staff member to meet you. You will not only present one award tonight. In addition, you have to memorize your lines..."

Listening to the staff's explanation, Lin Nan nodded, he knew all this.

The crews walked out one by one, and the celebrity artists also appeared in groups.

The red carpet is all about looking fancy or wearing fancy clothes.

"Nima, are you really trying to impress people?"

Lin Nan was dumbfounded and a little disgusted. Usually it was actresses who did this to gain prominence and attention!

Nearly forty minutes later, Lin Nan walked onto the red carpet alone and was unexpectedly stopped.

"Director Lin, why did last year's Best Actress let you come alone?"

When the host asked this question, Huang Bo, who had just passed by, turned around and shouted, "Yes, why isn't Yifei here?"

The surrounding audience also joined in the fun and shouted Liu Yifei's name.

"Well, let's make an advertisement. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" directed by me and produced by Liu Yifei will be released during the Spring Festival. She is busy promoting it. I hope everyone can go to the theater to support it. Thanks."

There were two more questions, all of which were bypassed by Lin Nan. The host had no choice but to let him go reluctantly, as it was about to time out.

…………

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the venue, Lin Nan was invited to the backstage.

Li An and other members of the jury are here, as well as other award-giving guests.

"Director Lin, please take a look at the script for the awards. Try to warm up the venue and control the time. As for what awards will be awarded, the staff will invite you over one award in advance."

"good."

Ten minutes later, Lin Nan returned to the venue.

On the left is Feng Xiaogang and on the right is Jia Zhangke. I don’t know who arranged this position. It’s boring.

The awards ceremony begins.

Some small awards took more than an hour.

When it came time for the Best New Actor Award, it became more lively, because this award had many big names.

Lin Nan was also teased by award-winning guest Liu Dehua:

"Ten years ago, it was here that Director Lin Nan won his first actor award and his only actor award, the Best New Actor Award."

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and the camera on the big screen was all about Lin Nan.

Wang Jinghua came to support her son in person, but this was not the Shanghai Film Festival, and Dong Zijian did not win the award.

"Director Lin."

A staff member waved.

"So fast?"

The new actors gave speeches above, while Lin Nan left his seat and walked backstage under the gazes of Feng Xiaogang and Jia Zhangke.

Li An personally handed the card to Lin Nan, "Director Lin, this is specially arranged for you."

"Um?"

Lin Nan tried to open it and take a look. Logically speaking, this was not allowed, but no one stopped him.

Seeing the name inside, Lin Nan nodded with satisfaction.

"...The following is the award ceremony for the Best Supporting Actor. The award guest is Director Lin Nan, a famous director in the Chinese film industry."

Lin Nan walked onto the stage alone and calmly.

Huang Bo pretended to be in a "hurry", made a gesture of invitation, and "hurriedly" gave up the center position.

This joking move was met with ridicule by both male and female people on the side: "Huang Bo, you are too cowardly and have no personality."

Lin Nan glanced at him. Before he could speak, Huang Bo had already spoken:

"Director Lin is my leg. The highest-grossing movie I starred in was "囧" produced by Director Lin's company. He has been a great support to me. Come to think of it, you will never be able to participate in such a high-grossing movie in your life. .”

Huang Bo's words instantly made the audience burst into laughter. On the other hand, the other person covered up his embarrassment with a smile.

Lin Nan didn't say anything, but opened the card and got down to business.

"This is an experienced actor, a real experienced actor. The winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is: Li Xuejian, "1942", congratulations."

Lin Nan's voice spread throughout the audience, and the first important award was won by the mainland.

Huang Bo on the side had already expected that, after all, the type of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" would be impossible to beat "1942" and "Chinese Partners".

After handing the trophy and certificate to Li Xuejian and a hug, Lin Nan gave up the stage.

…

Simply, Lin Nan did not return to his seat because there were still awards to be presented to him later.

Backstage, Lin Nan was chatting with Li An and Li Bingbing, but things were uneasy in the front.

When the Best Supporting Actor was awarded, Huang Bo contributed a famous scene.

When the female guest Zheng Yuling accused Huang Bo of disrespecting the golden horse by wearing pajamas, the national costume.

Huang Bo replied wittily: "I always come to the Golden Horse Awards. When I go home, of course I will wear pajamas."

The guests in the audience all applauded and cheered for Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence answer, but some people always felt uncomfortable.

"Isn't the Golden Horse my home? How come it has become your home? Your home is on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, not here. Don't recognize your home casually. We are not the same family..."

This sentence caused the lively scene to cool down in an instant, and many people became serious.

Lin Nan and Li Bingbing, who were backstage, looked at each other. Both of their eyes were a little cold. Li An smiled helplessly on the side.

"If you say this, then I have something to say: I have been a human being for so long, and I have only seen people riding horses, but I have never seen horses riding people. What does that feel like? Can you tell me?"

Isn’t that what Chairman Cai wears? Carrying a horse on her back, she looks like an actress walking on the red carpet, wearing fancy clothes to attract attention.

In addition, "she" is still a "sufferer", isn't this just being ridden?

In an instant, the audience burst into laughter, and it was even more lively than before...

…………

"The one who will present the Best Actress Award is still Director Golden Lion. Director Lin Nan, please."

"Director Lin?" Li Bingbing reminded in a low voice.

"Director Lin." Li An also spoke.

"I'm going up." Lin Nan went up with the card.

Standing on the awards podium, Lin Nan glanced at the two hosts.

He opened the card and said with a serious expression: "I think this notebook is quite normal and not messy! Why are so many people in front of me talking without thinking? Do they have no brains or no butts?"

Lin Nan's speech silenced everyone in the audience and the atmosphere became serious.

Backstage, Li An, Li Bingbing, and several other jury members were already furious. What Lin Nan said was not the script for the "Best Actress Award" at all!

"... When you award an award, award it. Say something related to the award. Don't just talk nonsense all day long. The level is not very good, and you talk a lot. If it doesn't work, just change someone. Huang Bo, you What do you say?"

"I think I'm a little inappropriate." Huang Bo smiled and tried his best to smooth things over.

"Okay, I've said some nonsense, now let's start awarding awards.

The winner of the Best Actress Award is: Zhang Ziyi, "The Grandmaster". Congratulations! "

Only then did the guests react and start applauding.

What just happened is so vivid in my mind that I cannot forget it. This is a big deal! If you don't do it right, it will be very serious!

However, many people looked at Lin Nan with praise, most of them were mainland filmmakers, and a few were Andy Lau, Jackie Chan and others.

There were also many people who looked at Lin Nan with unkind eyes.

On the stage, the other host's face had completely turned into the color of pig liver.

Zhang Ziyi ran up excitedly and took the trophy and certificate from Lin Nan with both hands.

"Thank you, Director Lin, thank you."

Zhang Ziyi bowed, and it was obvious that she was very excited.

"You're welcome, congratulations on your second Grand Slam for Chinese-language films."

Zhang Ziyi is the second actress to win the Mainland Golden Rooster Award, Hong Kong Island Film Award, and Taiwan Golden Horse Award after Zhou Xun!

Lin Nan retreated to the side, and the stage was given to Zhang Ziyi.

Today's Golden Horse Awards ceremony was a bit disappointing.

Backstage, Li An still smiled helplessly.

Li Bingbing walked up to Lin Nan with a smile on his face and whispered: "Director Lin, you are so domineering!"

"Oh, it's a small thing, it's a small thing, some people can't get used to it. But this is a big stage, and you can't just curse directly, haha..."

…………

An award ceremony ended like this.

The media went crazy, writing articles and publishing news all night long.

"At the Golden Horse Awards, Zhang Ziyi was successfully crowned and became the second Chinese-language film Grand Slam Best Actress after Zhou Xun."

"Zhang Ziyi gave her acceptance speech, thanked director Wang Jiawei, and solemnly announced that Wang Feng will be her marriage partner..."

"Li Xuejian won the Best Supporting Actor Award..."

"Huang Bo has repeatedly criticized Taiwanese hosts and actors with high emotional intelligence..."

"When Director Lin Nan presented the award, he made domineering innuendo and scolded Cai Kangyong and others for being brainless and having no butt..."

…

Lying on the hotel bed, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were making videos.

"I saw the awards ceremony broadcast live. You are so awesome! At this moment, the Internet is full of news about Huang Bo and you. Weibo is very lively, haha..."

Liu Yifei's sweet smile and crisp laughter came from the phone.

"I couldn't hold it back, but I couldn't curse directly, so I had to do that. How about it?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

"Yeah, great! Muma, love you!"

"Ha ha."

…………

Chapter 2 (Well, I’ll try my best to write it...at least part of it)
