The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 231 Golden Horse Film Festival Opening

In addition, Sun Man told Xu Xing that the Golden Horse Film Festival will open tomorrow.

Xu Xing's "Witness Pursuit" will be the opening film and will be screened to the public for the first time.

Ever since the nomination list came out on October 10, Xu Xing has stolen all the limelight at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

From the media to netizens to fan clubs, everyone is paying attention to one of the leading actors of the new box office champion "Wolf Warrior 2", the best and most popular super star in the past three years, Xu Xing, who was nominated for Best Actor.

The controversy and expectations surrounding Xu Xing made this year's Golden Horse Awards more popular than last year's awards ceremony for the two mainland film queens as soon as the nominations were announced.

It was also because of Xu Xing’s huge traffic that the jury chose "Witness" as the opening film.

Judging from the quality of the films alone, this year's Golden Horse Awards is a big year. "Bold, Corrupt, and Beautiful", "The Great Buddha+" and "Carnival" are all masterpieces of Chinese-language films from the 10s.

In my previous life, the opening film of the Golden Horse Awards that year was "The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful".

But this time, Witness was lucky.

Ever since the nominations came out, fans of Xu Xing from all over the world, whether in the mainland, the island provinces, or Southeast Asia, have all been asking about the screening time of "Witness" at the film festival.

Reporters and film critics from all walks of life also want to see this film first.

As for Xu Xing's team, they had made preparations in advance, and a series of marketing press releases were ready to be released.

Starting tomorrow, the challenge is to "deliver best actor-level acting skills" and be worthy of the nomination.

Xu Xing’s fans will also first bombard the Douban movie page with tens of thousands of five-star reviews.

So, in fact, Xu Xing doesn’t pay much attention to this matter.

The film will be released on December 12st, and that’s when we’ll be able to see the true reviews from fans.

The purpose of taking on this film, to get a nomination for Best Actor, has been achieved.

……

night.

"Through my observations over the past few days, I discovered..."

Meng Ziyi hesitated to speak.

"Say it."

Xu Xing pinched her cheek.

When acting opposite Meng Ziyi this time, Xu Xing could clearly feel that her acting skills had improved a lot compared to her previous performance in "Eternal Love".

It’s not that his acting skills have improved, but at least he acted well and naturally.

She no longer stands in front of the camera and tells others dryly that she is acting.

Xu Xing felt more confident about letting Meng Ziyi play the female lead in "The East Palace", and was very pleased to reward her with her own actions every night.

——Li Yitong has not joined the group yet.

"I found out that you still have a good chance of winning over Sister Xiao Ran."

Meng Ziyi chuckled.

"…What are you worrying about every day?" Xu Xing really found it hard to evaluate her. "She's already married, okay?"

Of course Xu Xing did not deny that he did have some thoughts about it. Something big and white is really pleasing.

But after chatting for a few times and probing with her eyes, Xu Xing had already figured out that the man was not having marital disharmony or was extremely lonely.

Female celebrities in the entertainment industry who get married early may slowly start to travel around the world with their husbands as they become tired of their marriage and passion.

Getting married in your thirties or forties means you are ready to settle down and live a good life.

Like Aunt Zhiling, she can't leave Xu Xing for a long time and hasn't been able to completely change her mind.

Li Xiaoran...the little aunt, has entered the next stage and has settled down.

Xu Xing should respect their determination.

"Ah? Already married?"

Meng Ziyi was shocked.

Then Xu Xing pinched her face again.

"Meng Bao," Xu Xing sighed helplessly, "The studio is now creating a stupid beauty character for you, not asking you to act stupid on purpose, you just need to be more natural."

"Uh...haha~" Meng Ziyi laughed awkwardly, "When I had no movies to shoot recently, I went to chat with her every day. I really felt that there was a chance!"

"..."

Xu Xing was speechless.

However, Meng Ziyi felt that Xu Xing was encouraging her to continue.

"I asked her why she got married, and she said she felt it was time for her to get married, so she got married. She said the other person had been her friend for many years, and it was not easy for him to stay with her all the time. So she didn't get married out of pure love.

"At first, I felt that she was an introvert and passive type, so she liked to stay in her room and play games whether she was resting at home or filming. But gradually, I felt that it might be more because she was bored. For example, I could see that she was sometimes annoyed that I had the nerve to go over to her, but she still liked to chat with me.

"Also, I secretly found an opportunity to try it out and touched her. I felt...she seemed quite sensitive."

Meng Ziyi said this so well that she blushed.

"..."

Xu Xing was really convinced.

The studio has signed a genius.

Meng Ziyi continued speaking reluctantly.

"Also, I feel like she has a good impression of you. She thinks highly of you and says that you seem to be different from other stars. She also teased me that you must be very lucky to have such a young, handsome man and such a good boss. She also joked that if she were my age, she would definitely sign with your studio.

"The point is, when she was saying all this, she had just asked me in a vague way whether I had slept with you. She didn't ask directly, but I could tell that this was what she meant. Didn't she think about it? If she were me - hey, brother, what are you doing?"

Meng Ziyi, who was talking nonstop, stopped with a blushing face.

Because Xu Xing fixed her two hands.

Then he went to get the eye patch and put it on her.

Although I have played this before and was mentally prepared when I saw these props, but... aren't we talking about serious business?
Well, there's no way to talk.

Before the ears were sealed.

Meng Ziyi heard Xu Xing sigh.

"Si Lili, you are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief. I'd better start torturing you as soon as possible so that you can talk nonsense."

"Woooooo~"

Meng Ziyi groaned. Xu Xing thought about it and decided to let her speak.

In fact, Xu Xing doesn't like to use this little prop. Except for Teacher Yang and Aunt Zhiling, and recently a brief try with Teacher Tong, he has hardly used it.

It doesn’t look good when worn and it also affects their favorite activity of kissing.

No need.

Just let go.

"Master Xiao Fan, I am innocent~"

Meng Ziyi said aggrievedly.

The lines are pretty good.

Xu Xing smiled.

Just as I started laughing, the phone rang.

Xu Xing reached out to cover her lips as she was about to continue speaking, and at the same time reached out to pick up the phone and answered it.

"Did you see my USB drive yesterday?"

Li Xiaoran's anxious voice came over.

Xu Xing was about to ask her what the USB drive was.

Then I heard her continue to preach.

"Meng Meng. I think I put it on the bedside, and I forgot to put it away before—"

Uh... I took the wrong phone.

Xu Xing didn't expect that Meng Ziyi actually set the same ringtone as hers.

Fortunately, I didn’t speak first!
Xu Xing hung up the phone directly, took off Meng Ziyi's earphones, and told her what Li Xiaoran asked.

However, Meng Ziyi said that he had never seen any USB flash drive.

Then Xu Xing took the phone and helped Meng Ziyi call Li Xiaoran back.

Meng Ziyi made up an excuse that the signal was bad so she hung up the phone, then asked about Li Xiaoran's situation. She said she hadn't seen him, and then hung up the phone again.

After this little episode, the "torture" of the courtesan Si Lili finally officially began!
This method is really helpful for female celebrities like Meng Ziyi who always have mood problems or other female celebrities who are under great mental pressure.

They can tremble from the beginning to the end and can't stop.

According to them, after amplifying their senses, Xu Xing's kiss felt more gentle.

……

The next day, Li Xiaoran was pulled out of the room by Meng Ziyi. When she was having dinner with the crew, Xu Xing observed her again.

I felt like Meng Ziyi was really talking nonsense last night. Aunt Xiaoran clearly has a fulfilling life and a stable mental state.

The little brain that didn't believe Meng Ziyi was right.

The young aunt's eyes met Xu Xing's, and when she smiled, her eyes looked extremely calm and clear.

Just like Xu Xing’s eyes.

While eating, she said in a joking tone that Mr. Meng's visit to her made her feel a little out of touch with today's young people.

It felt like she was complaining that she lost her USB drive because Meng Ziyi came over.

So after dinner, Xu Xing told Meng Ziyi not to bother others.

But Meng Ziyi said that Li Xiaoran sent her a WeChat message last night saying that the USB flash drive had been found, and she also made an appointment with Li Xiaoran to play "Plants vs. Zombies" together tomorrow.

"Oh brother~ You don't understand women's affairs."

Meng Ziyi blinked.

"..."

Xu Xing didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.

I will give him a severe lesson at night.

While teaching a lesson in the evening, Xu Xing received a call from Qu Mingzhen.

Ms. Qu told Xu Xing that she had just watched the premiere of "Witness" at the Golden Horse Film Festival in Taiwan today, and the film critics at the scene gave it high praise.

They also said that they did not edit the video randomly, and the final version was that Xiao Qi chose to turn himself in after confronting Maggie.

Well, even though they struggled for a long time to get Xu Xing back for the reshoot, director Cheng Weihao finally chose the idea that Xu Xing had suggested at the time and asked Xiao Qi to surrender himself, rather than asking Maggie to report Xiao Qi and Brother Qiu.

The reshoots at that time also retained the footage of Maggie being truly attracted to Xiao Qi, which was to add to Xu Weining's scenes, but also made Xiao Qi's surrender more "shocking."

He didn't want a meteoric rise to the top or the goddess's embrace anymore, he just wanted to atone for what he did nine years ago.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing surfed the Internet again.

The number of ratings on the "Witness" page on Douban has exceeded 30,000, and at a glance, all of them are five stars.

"Masterpiece!"

“The best suspense film of the past decade!”

“Awesome awesome awesome awesome!!!”

"Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Actor!!,"

If you don’t know, you might think that a 30,000-seat stadium was opened at the Golden Horse Film Festival to premiere this movie.

That is, the IP is not displayed yet...

Some people gave it one or two stars, thinking that the movie had too many coincidences, ignored logic in pursuit of a reversal, and finally changed the ending too badly in order to pass the review.

They speak very rationally, but if you click on their Douban personal pages, you can see that the King Oyster Mushrooms are holding a grand funeral for their entire family.

There are also hot search terms on Weibo.

Due to the mindless flattery of some self-media and the mindless excitement of Xu Xing's fans, the rumor that Xu Xing had become the biggest favorite for the Best Actor award became popular.

Quite funny.

……

Then on November 11, Xu Xing left the crew and flew to the island province to attend the most popular Golden Horse Awards ceremony in the past decade.

　I took some time off at noon, so I decided to update first.
