This man knows how to hype

Chapter 325: Which road is Infernal Affairs? Is there any traffic jam?

[It is reported that in the just-concluded Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, "Dying to Survive" became the biggest winner, and won multiple Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

Among them, the Golden Rooster Awards won: Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor; the Hundred Flowers Awards won: Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, etc.]

[Dying to Survive made history again, becoming the first film in history to win the most Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers awards at the same time]

[64-year-old veteran actress Zhang Lili won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and burst into tears]

[Lin Xiaoxue won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, causing controversy and was questioned as the "Water Queen"]

In the car on the way back to the hotel from the venue, Lu Qinyao, who was dressed up, watched the news popping up on the Internet. The complex emotions in her heart were really hard to describe.

Although this result had been anticipated, the sense of loss was unavoidable after hope was extinguished.

Xu Xiyu, who was sitting next to him, could only comfort him softly, "It's okay, come next time."

Hearing this, Lu Qinyao smoothed the hem of her dress, shook her head and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, I didn't gain nothing, didn't I even win two awards? If I can't be a double-gold actress, I can be a double-gold producer."

The double gold producer she mentioned refers to the Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Film.

When "Dying to Survive" won these two awards, Xu Xiyu still did not go up to receive the awards, but let the co-producer Lu Qinyao go up to receive it.

Of course, being a double gold producer is just Lu Qinyao’s self-consolation.

After all, she and Yang Xueqing are different. The trophy for the best TV series that "Kuang Biao" won was taken away by Yang Xueqing to Xuejian Media by acting coquettishly.

I heard that she made a super large display cabinet and I hope that one day she can fill it up.

No, it's not just a hope, she has already put it into action. You know, in addition to the three major awards, there are also other award ceremonies for domestic TV dramas.

Yang Xueqing’s greatest pleasure now is to take the main creators of “Storm” to various award ceremonies to win awards.

As for Xu Xiyu, he naturally didn't have the time to follow.

He is very busy. In addition to handling company affairs every day, he also has to find time to write scripts.

"You told Lingyun last time that you wanted to write a healing movie script, right? How is the writing going?" Although Lu Qinyao did not win the award, she also focused on the new script.

"I've already written a rough draft, but it still needs to be revised. I'll show it to you as soon as I'm done."

After saying this, without waiting for Lu Qinyao to reply, Xu Xiyu continued: "I think we have to use a saturation tactic."

"Ah?" Lu Qinyao was startled when she heard this. She didn't understand such a sudden sentence at all. "What? What saturation tactics?"

"I think you can't just focus on one movie, you have to act in more. That way, your chances of winning an award will be greater. Not only that, you can even act in a TV series.

In this way, you might even become the first female artist in history to win both Best Actress and Best Actress in the same year." Xu Xiyu explained with a smile.

After hearing his words, Lu Qinyao's eyes and mouth opened wider and wider. At the end, she even reached out and touched Xu Xiyu's head.

Then he said with a complicated expression: "I don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"How is this nonsense? Do you think you don't have enough time to participate in so many projects?"

"Time is not a problem. Not many actors can only work on one project a year and concentrate on shooting. I can finish a project in a month at most. But the question is, do you know what it means to win the Best Actress and Best Actress awards in the same year?"

"Didn't I just say that we are the first in history?" Xu Xiyu thought about it again and it seemed that no one on Blue Star had achieved this achievement.

"You still know that you are the first in history?" Lv Qinyao said with a smile, "Even for a good movie like 'Dying to Survive', I didn't win an award, and I'm still thinking about winning both Best Actress and Best Actress."

“People should have dreams. What’s the difference between having no dreams and being salted fish?”

“……” Lu Qinyao was speechless.

However, she smiled again soon, and leaned towards Xu Xiyu, hugged Xu Xiyu's arm and said, "Thank you."

“?” Xu Xiyu.

"Thank you for making me happy by saying these words. I think what Zhang Wenyan said when he won the Feitian Award before made sense. People should learn to be content. I am very lucky now."

"Do you think I was teasing you just now?" Xu Xiyu laughed.

"No, how could that be? Of course I believe you have the ability." Lu Qinyao replied quickly.

However, although she said she believed it, the feeling she revealed was still that she didn't believe it. This didn't mean that she didn't believe in Xu Xiyu's ability.

But it was the inertia of thinking in the circle for so many years and her lack of self-confidence that made it impossible for her to imagine that she could win both a Best Actress award and a Best TV Actress award at the same time.

That’s right, even if Lu Qinyao let go of her thoughts under Xu Xiyu’s guidance, she only had one target.

If she knew that Xu Xiyu planned to sweep all the awards in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, she would probably have to touch Xu Xiyu's forehead again to see if he was crazy.

In the car, Lv Qinyao hugged Xu Xiyu's arm and said, "I don't want you to do a new project with the purpose of helping me win an award. We can make a TV series or a movie.

The first thing to consider is quality and being responsible to the audience. I must also be responsible to the investors and colleagues who have worked hard for me. In comparison, whether I win an award or not should be considered last, don’t you think? "

Lv Qinyao's words surprised Xu Xiyu. He thought that Lv Qinyao would be very excited after hearing his plan.

As it turns out, now she neither believes it can be done nor thinks it is a good thing.

So Xu Xiyu reached out and rubbed her head. He didn't emphasize what he was going to do. He just replied softly, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

At the same time, Xiangjiang Jiahe.

Cheng Guangzu couldn't sit still any longer after seeing the news that "Dying to Survive" had won a bunch of awards. He asked his secretary to book a ticket for him while calling the company's loyal team to come to a meeting.

Ten minutes later, a bunch of people sat in his office. Cheng Guangzu looked around and said, "Have you heard about the fact that "Dying to Survive" just swept the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other.

Finally, it was the older Jiahe director Liu Yongzhe who spoke up: "Brother Zu, what does this have to do with us?"

"It's a big deal. You guys are aware of my cooperation with Xu Xiyu."

"You invested in "Dying to Survive"? " Liu Yongzhe was surprised when he heard this. Cool, it turns out that his boss had secretly made a big move.

But obviously, he thought too much.

Cheng Guangzu's mouth twitched as he said, "You're crazy. What I meant is that Xu Xiyu is really amazing. We should strike while the iron is hot and quickly get him to approve the project with us. If we delay any further, no one will be able to make it."

The "everyone" he was referring to were the veteran actors who are still supporting Hong Kong films.

Although Hong Kong films have declined, there are still some films produced every year.

These movies are basically played by the same fixed people. After all, they have to rely on these old guys to decorate the facade in order to slightly increase the box office.

Therefore, actors like Blue Star and Louis Yeung have very full schedules every year. If the team is established late, the film will be completed in who knows when.

Of course, you can also choose to use mainland actors to shoot the film.

But the question is, if you look at the movie and see that all the actors are from the mainland, is it still a Hong Kong movie?
Cheng Guangzu and the Queen's Wu Youjin are different.

Wu Youjin was hoping to follow Xu Xiyu and make a big splash with a small budget. It didn't matter whether it was a Hong Kong film or not, as long as he could make money.

And Cheng Guangzu really wants to extend the life of Hong Kong films.

But people in the office had other ideas.

Liu Yongzhe looked at the others again.

Then he said, "Brother Zu, I'm not trying to pour cold water on you, but the project you and Xu Xiyu are collaborating on is a Hong Kong film, and I heard it's a police and gangster film. This is really too nonsensical."

As soon as he finished speaking, a person next to him echoed, "Yes, Zu Ge, we all admit that Xu Xiyu is an excellent film creator, but the situation in the mainland is completely different from that in Hong Kong.

Apart from anything else, I heard from someone that he has never even been to Hong Kong. Does he know what the difference is between the police in Hong Kong and the public security in the mainland?

"Yes, yes." Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly followed suit.

Seeing everyone speaking in opposition to him, the veins on Cheng Guangzu's forehead began to throb.

He raised his hand to interrupt the noise and shouted angrily: "Shut up! If you know this, why don't you make a movie with a box office of 47.7 billion yuan?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yongzhe and others immediately shut up.

Not to mention making a movie with a box office of 47.7 billion, the highest-grossing movie he shot in the past five years is not even a fraction of that.

But after only a short moment, Liu Yongzhe was so angry that he said, "Brother Zu, it's meaningless to say that. Dying to Survive is a good movie, but it's not a Hong Kong movie."

"OKOKOK, I won't argue with you about this. I called you here for one reason. I'm going to Beijing to look for Xu Xiyu soon. The last time I talked to him on the phone, he said he had almost finished writing the script.

I estimate that I will be able to see the complete draft this time. You wait here for news. If I get the script, I will ask you to come over to study and improve it together, and strive to start the project in Beijing first this time."

"Then it will probably take one or two months to change it." Liu Yongzhe added after hearing this.

His words made other people in the office burst into laughter.

The meaning of "revising for one or two months" is very simple, that is, what Xu Xiyu wrote is definitely not good enough, so it is better to say that it is rewritten rather than revised.

Seeing everyone laughing, Cheng Guangzu also put his hands on his hips and started laughing.

He was laughed out of anger.

However, to be honest, deep down, he also had deep doubts.

This was the real reason why he was anxious. He was afraid that after waiting for several months, Xu Xiyu would come up with something “nonsense”, which would be a pure waste of time.

Thinking of this, he put his hands on his waist and smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, stop laughing. Xu Xiyu is a rising star in the mainland entertainment industry. Don't offend him."

"No, when I see him I will be polite and call him Mr. Xu." Liu Yongzhe stopped laughing.

Without waiting for Cheng Guangzu to reply, he continued to ask: "Oh, by the way, Brother Zu, did he tell me what the name of the movie he is writing now is?"

"It's called Infernal Affairs."

"what?"

"Infernal Affairs, are you blind?" Cheng Guangzu emphasized in a bad mood.

As soon as this was said, Liu Yongzhe said happily: "Why not call it Queen's Boulevard? Which road is Infernal Affairs? Is it usually congested?"

"Hahahahahaha." Laughter rang out in the office again.

Seeing them laughing again, Cheng Guangzu became even more helpless.

With this helplessness, three hours later, he embarked on a journey to the capital.

With him are four of his loyal team members, including Liu Yongzhe.

Because, when I called Xu Xiyu just now, he said that the script had been completed. In that case, there was no need to split into two groups.
