The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 88 Participation is important
At this year's Golden Horse Awards, "The Assassin" led with 11 nominations, followed by "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death" with 10 nominations. These two island films are the main hits of this year.

The next film, "Port of Call," which received 9 nominations, is a representative of Hong Kong films.

The mainland film "Mountains May Depart" followed with 7 nominations.

The three places shared the prize. The important awards won by the mainland were the Best Actor award for Feng Xiaogang's "Mr. Six", the Best New Director award for Bi Gan's "Roadside Picnic" and the original screenplay award for Jia Zhangke's "Mountains May Depart".

The Best Actor and Best New Director awards were both given to mainland Chinese.

Among them, three mainland actors and one Hong Kong actor were nominated for the Best Actor Award, and only one actor from Taiwan Province was nominated.

He is Li Hongqi, who was nominated for Best Actor and Best Newcomer for his role in "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death", and is the leading actor in Taiwan Province this year.

The competitors for the Best Newcomer award that Xu Xing was nominated for are so formidable.

Moreover, Xu Xing only debuted through Taiwan's films, while Li Hongqi is a Taiwan-born native. The Golden Horse Awards is said to be a joint event for the Chinese film industry in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, but it is essentially a Taiwan-based award.

This is not to mention that "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death" is a same-sex art film with the right buff, while Xu Xing's "My Girlhood" is just a youth idol film, as well as the real acting gap between the two.

Therefore, Xu Xing did not have the slightest hope of winning the prize.

——In fact, the director of the movie "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death" was accused of sexually assaulting a female screenwriter and is serving a prison sentence. If... It's a pity that the island province did not ban this film.

Xu Xing’s focus is on participation.

Anyway, the Golden Horse Awards can still boast of being the most prestigious Chinese-language film award. Who among the other young actors or so-called top stars can get a nomination?
It's a pity that only the director came to the "Old Cannon" crew. Feng Xiaogang has long been unhappy with the Golden Horse Awards. On the closing day, he will hold a "Old Cannon" concert at the Workers' Stadium with Chris Wu and Li Yifeng to cut fans' leeks. Xu Xing couldn't rely on his unique noble nomination to slap the two top stars on the spot.

——Even so, the Golden Horse Awards will give the Best Actor award to Feng Xiaogang this year, which shows the director's status. The Golden Horse Awards must "admit their mistakes" first, so that Director Feng will attend the Golden Horse Awards for two consecutive years in the next two years.

……

After arriving at the hotel from the airport, Xu Xing first tried on two dresses sent by Prada, and then met up with the crew. It was almost evening.

Xu Xing returned to the hotel again, changed into her first dress, and attended the Golden Horse Awards welcome and nominees reception.

At this nominees reception, in terms of status alone, Xu Xing was just a small fry.

The biggest ones are great directors and seniors like Hou Xiaoxian, Zhang Aijia, Jia Zhangke, Guo Fucheng, Deng Chao, and Guan Hu.

However, when it comes to the number of fans watching outside the stadium, Xu Xing has the most.

Not only have the previous movies accumulated a large number of fans, but "The Beginning" has just recently begun to be broadcast on a radio station in the island province and is currently a hit. The fans' emotions are also high, and the voices shouting Xu Xing's name have never stopped.

This made Aaron Kwok make a joke to the reporters, saying that the real king is Xu Xing.

At the party, Xu Xing chatted politely with others.

For a big director like Hou Zhangjia, all he needs to do is have a simple meeting and show that he is a humble newcomer.

Director Hou, who was 68 years old this year, had actually finished filming his last work, "The Assassin Nie Yinniang". Xu Xing wanted to urge him to start filming "On the Shulan River" as soon as possible, but it was just a thought.

In the previous life, the male lead of "On the Shulan River" was Dong Zijian, who also attended the cocktail party. He was nominated for the Best Newcomer in the previous session and the Best Actor in this session.

Also attending the cocktail party was Ma Sichun, the only member of the "Left Ear" crew brought by director Su Youpeng. Although this youth film had a terrible reputation, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and then won the Best Actress award in the next session.

These are the orthodox resources in the circle, and they are the high-end ones. Xu Xing's background is just some money, which is really not comparable to them. However, they are also the ones who talked the most with Xu Xing at the reception. They are all young people from the mainland, so they have relatively common topics.

Also present was a super newcomer from the mainland, Chunxia. She will win the Best Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Awards next year, so I won’t say much about her.

Another person who chatted with Xu Xingduo for a while was Deng Chao.

The Running Man that he recorded with Lu Han has already started airing. He mentioned Lu Han and also invited Xu Xing to be a guest on Running Man if he has time, and to exchange pleasantries if they have the chance to film a movie together in the future.

"My Girlhood" is just a youth film and "The Beginning" is just a web drama. Xu Xing is totally unworthy of such occasions, no matter how many fans she has outside.

But Xu Taiyu's influence in the island province is real.

So early the next morning, Xu Xing got up and went to find Aunt Lin Zhiling, with whom she had made an appointment in advance.

Lin Chi-ling and Huang Zijiao are the hosts of this year's Golden Horse Awards. They designed an opening method based on "Our Girlhood".

At that time, Lin Chi-ling will appear in a high school girl's uniform and play the role of Lin Zhenxin, riding on the popularity of the movie while hyping up her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Yan Chengxu, who plays the grown-up Xu Taiyu in the movie, for the 10086th time.

The entertainment industry is such an occasion. No matter if it is true or false, if the audience likes to watch it, you can sell it to them.

Xu Xing will go on stage when called upon to help bring out Yan Chengxu on the screen.

The relevant details have been communicated in advance, but they should also be rehearsed first to avoid any accidents.

Age really can’t make up for the difference in appearance.

Aunt Zhiling, 41 years old, was wearing a white T-shirt, a black short skirt, white socks and black shoes, a sloppy bun, and large round-framed glasses. She did not look like a young girl, but she made Xu Xing feel much better than Song Yunhua.

"So handsome! This is the first time I've seen Xu Taiyu up close!"

Aunt Zhiling took the initiative to speak first, and her deliberate cuteness did not disgust Xu Xing. Apart from her poor acting skills, Aunt Zhiling can barely be said to be both virtuous and talented, a very standard vase.

Xu Xing also followed the same sentence pattern.

"So beautiful! This is the first time I've seen Sister Zhiling up close!"

The interaction required was that after Xu Xing came up, she took Xu Xing's hand and turned around in circles, they cooperated and chatted with each other for a few words, and finally asked Xu Xing to sing "Little Lucky".

Originally, Xu Xing suggested that the "original singer" Sun Yanzi should be cueed to sing on stage in the end, as she was filming and had no time to practice. However, the Golden Horse Awards organizers disagreed, saying that all sponsors must let Xu Xing sing or they would withdraw their sponsorship, and that lip-syncing was okay even if she was not in good condition.

Xu Xing kept asking Liu Cheng to negotiate until the end before agreeing, as a way of giving face to the organizer.

So during the last few days of filming, Xu Xing actually had the opportunity to find Reba, but after work every day, she still went to the recording studio to practice hard.

Rehearsed three times.

I feel like Aunt Zhiling may have truly loved Yan Chengxu.

Every time Xu Xing sang "Little Lucky", she would listen beside him and look at Xu Xing in a daze. At the end, she would lower her head.

But the three almost identical reactions made Xu Xing suspect that she had specially designed the reaction.

　I mistook the opening time of the Golden Horse Awards for the closing time, so I modified the Golden Horse Awards-related content in Chapters 82 and 87. Sorry!
