This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 169: The Fall of a Superstar
Hao Yun’s alcohol tolerance was OK, but he was not able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, so he did not wake up until noon the next day.

When I woke up, Huang Bo was gone.

Hao Yun could understand his troubles, but he could no longer empathize with him.

There is no scene with Hao Yun during the day today, so it doesn't matter if I'm late or not.

Considering that the main focus of filming was on his scenes from the beginning, Hao Yun’s solo scenes had almost been filmed.

The rest are scenes with my sister Gao Weihong or my brother Gao Weiguo. I can’t concentrate on shooting these scenes and can only do it slowly.

If nothing goes wrong, it should be almost done in another month of shooting.

He brought a pair of frog-eye glasses, which was a prop from the movie. Hao Yun planned to take it away as a souvenir after the filming.

Hao Yun took a stroll to the west end of the town.

There is a large area of ​​peach trees there, and they are in bloom at this time of the year.

Perhaps the locals are used to the sight of clusters of flowers, and the forest is sparsely populated. Hao Yun held his guitar and played the song "Spring Clear Sky" that was rewarded by the system.

We shoot night scenes at night.

As we were filming, someone suddenly shouted:
"Zhang Guorong is dead!"

The emotions that had been brewing with great difficulty were instantly destroyed by this shout.

Gu Changwei was so angry that he couldn't help but yell, "What are you yelling about? Don't you know you have to be quiet when filming?"

The staff member stammered, "Zhang Guorong is dead."

"It's none of your business... How could he die? He's only in his forties..." Gu Changwei and Zhang Guorong knew each other.

When Chen Kaige was filming "Farewell My Concubine", Gu Changwei still acted as the photographer without saying a word. The stunning look of Zhang Guorong in the film was made known to the world through Gu Changwei's lens.

Gu Changwei has praised Zhang Guorong many times in interviews, saying that he is one of the best actors he has ever worked with, with admirable talent and professionalism, and his outstanding performance in "Farewell My Concubine" is unforgettable.

died?

Subconsciously, I feel that it is unlikely.

Hao Yun walked to the side, took the phone from Shi Xiaoqiang, and then made a call.

"Edison, I'm Hao Yun..."

"Zhang Guorong is dead." As if knowing what Hao Yun wanted to ask, Chen Guanxi on the other side gave the answer directly.

Then he talked about the specific situation.

Zhang Guorong committed suicide by jumping off a building at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central in the evening. He was subsequently rushed to Queen Mary Hospital. After failed rescue efforts, he died at 19:06 that evening at the age of 46.

"He's really dead." Hao Yun hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

He had never met Zhang Guorong, even though he had been to Hong Kong several times. However, he was very familiar with Zhang Guorong.

How to describe Zhang Guorong?

He is not just a popular song or a flat face. From music to movies, TV series, commercials and other fields, he is worthy of being a national idol.

Huang Zhan said that if there is anyone in this world who is the elegant and handsome gentleman described by literati, it must be Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong is very much like a precious oil painting from the old times. The more time passes by, the more intoxicating it becomes.

Any shiny, fashionable packaging and colors are redundant for it.

However, such a person committed suicide by jumping off a building.

"Today..." Gu Changwei was stunned for a moment, and announced: "That's it for today. We'll continue shooting tomorrow. Everyone go and have a rest."

Everyone was in a low mood.

Someone suggested going out for a drink at a bar in the city.

"Hao Yun, do you want to go for a drink?"

There were quite a lot of people going there, and someone asked Hao Yun if he wanted to go.

Hao Yun got drunk last night and didn't get up until after ten in the morning. He didn't fully recover until the afternoon.

But he did not refuse and took the crew's minibus with more than a dozen actors and staff to go to the bar for a drink.

Legend has it that there is a kind of wine called "Drunkenness and Dreaming of Death", which can make people forget everything after drinking it.

Too bad such wine doesn't exist.

Perhaps everyone will remember this day for a long time to come.

There was a man who had no attachment to this world anymore and jumped off a tall building.

There was someone singing in the bar. The equipment was not very good and the singing skills were average, but the singer was very devoted.

Life is like a long dream
The wind and frost on the road blow dry

How many directions do beautiful dreams have in this world?
Find the love in the dreamy heart
The road is endless

Life is a dream and aspiration
There are faint tears in the dream

Where to go to find the direction in my heart

The wind seems to sigh in a dream
The roads and people are vast

Happy Youth
The road is rough and the sun is not shining
How many directions does happiness have in the mud?
A touch of dreamy wind and rain

The road is endless

Like a dream, the wind and rain follow the endless road

The biggest trouble for people is that they have a good memory.

If I could forget everything, every day would be a new beginning.

However, someone once said that when you no longer have it, the only thing you can do is to make sure you don’t forget it.

On April 4, the 6nd Hong Kong Film Awards was held.

Hao Yun also received an invitation. Although he was not nominated, the movie "Infernal Affairs" in which he starred received 16 nominations and was destined to be the big winner of this year's Academy Awards.

However, he did not attend.

The boiling point is getting more and more serious. Going to the worst-hit areas at this time and then going back to the crew to film would be disrespectful to the lives and health of other people.

Zhang Guorong is gone, but his shadow was everywhere at the Academy Awards ceremony that night.

Every year, the Avenue of Stars at the Hong Kong Film Awards is a stage for stars to compete in their outfits. However, this year, the Avenue of Stars was cancelled in memory of Zhang Guorong and replaced with the Avenue of Love to promote healthy stars.

The guests had no intention of dressing up. Out of respect for Zhang Guorong, the men wore black suits and the actresses wore black long skirts. Some even just walked in directly.

The most special ones were Liang Chaowei and Wu Junru, who arrived late. They were wearing a white suit and a white short skirt respectively.

The emcee Zeng Zhiwei put aside his usual comedic style and solemnly expressed his nostalgia for Zhang Guorong, setting a sad atmosphere for the ceremony.

The entire audience stood up, bowed and observed a minute of silence.

Liu Furong, Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming and Guo Fucheng sang Zhang Guorong's song "The Love of Those Days"

In addition to Zhang Guorong, there was also a boiling point, and "Salute to all medical staff" became the most frequently used language at the award ceremony.

The competition for Best Actor at this year's Academy Awards is the most intense in history.

Although Zhang Guorong passed away suddenly on the eve of the award ceremony, in the eyes of many websites and citizens, he is the only choice for Best Actor. Even many artists such as Liang Chaowei suggested that the Best Actor award should be given to Zhang Guorong directly without any further voting.

However, the Academy Awards did not give Zhang Guorong the title of Best Actor, which was disappointing.

In an interview, Zhang Tongzu, chairman of the Academy Awards, said that as a professional award with a long history, this choice was made out of respect for the rules rather than being influenced by emotions.

Some people also think that even if there is no Best Actor award, there should be another consolation award.

The Academy Awards should not ignore public opinion.

Finally, all the major awards have been decided.

Although "Infernal Affairs" and "Hero" each won 7 awards, it seems to be a tie on the surface.

But in fact, the most important award won by "Hero" was only the Best Cinematography Award.

Apart from that, both the Best Action Design and Best Visual Effects awards are at best second-class awards.

Although the trophy is the same, its weight is much lighter.

Some say that the overwhelming success of Infernal Affairs was a boring, expected result.

The competition for Best Actress was equally boring, and it also proved that the so-called respect for the rules by Academy Awards Chairman Anthony Wong was a joke.

Before the awards ceremony, Junru Wu was the preferred choice for Best Actress.

This female movie star, who has been active in the Hong Kong film industry for many years, has given an impeccable performance in "Golden Rooster".

In the end, the Best Actress award was given to the little girl Li Xinjie.

The reason is simple. Li Xinjie is the most popular actress in Hong Kong's film and television industry this year. Although Wu Junru is still strong, she is old after all. Moreover, Wu Junru has already won several Hong Kong Film Awards. It is better to let the little girl get the capital for future development.

For the same reason.

The first award presented at this year's Academy Awards was actually the "Best Newcomer Award" - Yuan Liqi in "Homecoming". This unusual practice may just express the judges' expectations for the new generation of film industry.

This year's Hong Kong Film Awards finally came to an end under the dual shadow and pressure of masks and jumping from buildings.

Behind the turbulent right and wrong in the entertainment industry, some people are excited about the Academy Awards, while some people don't care much.

One indisputable fact is becoming increasingly apparent, and that is the overall decline of Hong Kong films.

Then, there is the lack of successors to the new generation.

However, this does not prevent the Hong Kong Film Awards from becoming complacent. Since its establishment 22 years ago, it has never awarded the title of Best Actor to any mainland actor.

Hao Yun didn't have much expectations for the Academy Awards.

Because he knows that even if his acting skills are amazing and his works are invincible in the future, the Hong Kong Film Awards will not make an exception for him.

Unless he completely integrates into the Hong Kong entertainment circle and regards himself as a member of the Hong Kong circle.

However, Hao Yun will not be polite when it comes to the money he deserves.

For example, he was paid 20 yuan for "Infernal Affairs 2".

By early May, he had finished filming his scenes in Peacock. Because of the boiling point, he no longer returned to the capital, but flew directly to Hong Kong to participate in the filming of Infernal Affairs 2.

He didn't even bring Shi Xiaoqiang with him and refused Shi Xiaoqiang's permission to follow him.

Because it is too dangerous.

At this time, the number of people who died from boiling point in Hong Kong ranked first in the world, with a cumulative number of 133 people.

This departure is quite tragic and heroic, like “the wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold”.
