Huayu: King of Kung Fu

Chapter 147 Leading Two at Once

In December, Lin Hu asked the film crew for leave and went to Taipei to attend the Golden Horse Awards.

It has been four years since Lin Hu burst onto the scene in the Chinese film industry in 1998, and his works have been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards three times.

In 1998, Ong-Bak was nominated for Best Action Choreography, but lost to Chen Lung's Who Am I. However, he did not attend the Golden Horse Awards.

In 1999, "Ong-Bak 2" was nominated for Best Action Choreography, and Lin Hu successfully won the award. However, he still did not attend the Golden Horse Awards this time, and had someone else accept the award on his behalf.

In 2000, due to production issues, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" did not participate in the Golden Horse Awards. Similarly, to avoid a head-to-head competition between Zhou Xun and Zhang Manyu, "Better Days" also did not participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

This year, both films were successfully nominated, and the Golden Horse Awards committee extended a special invitation, leaving Lin Hu with no choice but to attend.

In recent years, both sides of the Taiwan Strait have attached great importance to cultural exchanges, but Lin Hu never goes, which is a disservice to the Taiwanese arts and culture scene.

Moreover, there are quite a few awards nominated this time.

"Better Days" was nominated for ten awards; "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," as an action film, was nominated for Best Action Choreography, as is customary.

Lin Hu flew to Hong Kong alone, avoiding reporters, and first went to the hotel to meet Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin.

Two women are trying on their outfits for the Golden Horse Awards.

Because the mainland's economy is not yet developed, the fashion scene is basically unwatchable. To participate in large-scale events, one can only come to Hong Kong to find designers.

The two women chatted and laughed, and Lin Hu's ex and current girlfriend had a surprisingly good relationship, which made Lin Hu very gratified.

As soon as Fan Binbin saw Lin Hu, she said, "Your dress is ready, try it on."

Lin Hu hummed in agreement, but then asked Zhou Xun, "Where's Xiao Hua?"

"My mom will help look after it for a few days."

Lin Hu calculated the days and said, "By the time we return from Taiwan, it will be Xiao Hua's first birthday."

"You still remember?"

"How could I forget my baby's birthday? I entrusted my sister to arrange Xiaohua's first birthday celebration."

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "You're thoughtful!"

Zhou Xun is quite satisfied with Lin Hu in this respect. Lin Hu really cares about his daughter. Even when he is away from home, he will often call her home to chat with Xiao Hua.

Even though Xiaohua couldn't speak, only babbling, he was very happy to listen.

Zhou Xun sometimes thinks that it's just that they fell in love too early. Lin Hu was only eighteen or nineteen years old, his mind was not settled, and it was inevitable that he would be fickle.

Because of this thought, she forgave Lin Hu.

In addition, Lin Hu was willing to take on the responsibilities of being a father and treated his daughter very well. The two raised the child together, and their relationship became more and more harmonious.

If Lin Hu didn't already have a girlfriend, she would be willing to get back together with him.

Zhou Xun's attitude towards Lin Hu is somewhat similar to Wang Fei's attitude towards Nicholas Tse.

Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong are also a well-known couple with an age gap.

Later, Nicholas Tse cheated on Cecilia Cheung, and Faye Wong chose to break up with him.

But many years later, the two still got together.

The plane flew over a vast sea of ​​clouds, and in the distance, a huge blue island came into view.

Lin Hu asked Xu Yuezhen, "Sister Zhen, that's Taiwan Island, right?"

Xu Yuezhen readily agreed, "Yes!"

Shortly afterward, the plane landed at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport.

Around the turn of the millennium, the Golden Horse Awards were the most prestigious film awards in the Chinese-speaking world.

Every year during the screenings, Chinese-language filmmakers from all over the world gather together, making it a truly grand event.

A large number of reporters and many fans gathered outside Chiang Kai-shek International Airport to greet the celebrities.

The fans were divided into different groups, holding up support signs and banners for their idols, along with slogans.

When they see their idol appear, they shout the idol's name wildly, as if they are competing to see who can shout the loudest.

At present, the fan culture has not yet developed in mainland China, and Fan Binbin was quite surprised when he first saw it.

Suddenly, she saw people in the crowd holding up banners with Lin Hu's name and a welcome message for Lin Hu to Taiwan. She exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Hu, they're welcoming you!"

Lin Hu had already seen it.

He had seen plenty of gossip news about fans greeting people at the airport in his later years, so he wasn't surprised.

Lin Hu calmly replied, "Next time you come to Taiwan, you'll be welcomed!"

Despite saying that, Lin Hu still smiled and waved to his fans.

His behavior is called "being approachable" in Taiwan, and his approachable nature has excited his fans.

Some female fans were shouting his name wildly and loudly declaring "I love you!"

Lin Hu observed carefully and found that his female fans were actually quite good-looking, and none of them were the kind of terrifying dinosaurs.

Lin Hu recognized the female fan in the front row; she looked familiar—was she Chen Qiaoen?

Lin Hu checked carefully, and it really was true.

However, she looks a bit thin now, dressed casually, and isn't the busty woman Lin Hu remembers.

There's a song called "Come to Taipei to See the Rain in Winter".

Due to the windward slope topography created by the Central Mountain Range, the rainy season lasts from October to March of the following year.

On the second day after the group arrived in Taipei, a cold rain began to fall from the sky.

This year's Golden Horse Awards were held in Hualien, and Hualien, having finally had the chance to host a large-scale ceremony, was very well prepared.

The red carpet ceremony was also very grand, even more impressive than the Golden Horse Awards held in Taipei.

However, things didn't go as planned. On the day of the awards ceremony, a torrential downpour hit Hualien, soaking the red carpet-covered Avenue of Stars.

Many celebrities were unable to arrive on time due to flight delays caused by heavy rain.

Some female celebrities who had prepared very grand gowns, such as those with long trains, had to give up walking the red carpet and enter directly through a side door.

As a result, many female celebrities missed the opportunity to compete for attention on the red carpet.

Fan Binbin today is not the "carpet star" she will become in the future, and Lin Hu has always disliked anything too extravagant, so her look on the Golden Horse red carpet for the first time was relatively simple.

Zhou Xun, being petite, isn't suited to overly exaggerated styles, so she naturally opted for a simpler look.

So, while other female stars might find it inconvenient to walk on the red carpet, these two found it very convenient.

"Better Days" has received tremendous attention since its debut as a favorite to win awards at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

As the male and female leads, Lin Hu and Zhou Xun should naturally walk the red carpet together, but Fan Binbin is Lin Hu's current girlfriend, and Lin Hu doesn't want to neglect her.

Thus, a sensational scene unfolded on the Golden Horse red carpet this year.

Lin Hu calmly took Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin's hands and stepped onto the red carpet.

The media reporters present were immediately excited, and they frantically took pictures with all sorts of cameras and microphones.

Seeing this, Peter Chan and the others simply lagged behind and stopped following.

For a moment, only the three of them were on the long red carpet.

The three of them became the focus of everyone's attention.

Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin initially felt a little awkward.

However, the moment Lin Hu led them by the hand onto the red carpet, their hearts suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

They seemed to be competing with each other, each hoping to have a more important place in Lin Hu's heart, and neither seemed willing to lose to the other.

With this peculiar mindset, they all accompanied Lin Hu, walking down the long red carpet under the gaze of hundreds of eyes and the flashing lights of countless cameras.
