Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

I confirmed again and again that he really did have a seaside villa and a private beach.

Xie Jin is now emotional. She finally understands Teacher Pan's feelings when he sees Ga Zi making money.

"Listen to me, Jielun, let's sell the house. This water is too dangerous for you to handle. Your house is by the sea, what if a typhoon comes and blows it away? What if a shark comes up and bites your basket?"

Jelun shook his head: "No, I bought the land and built it myself. It has typhoon protection facilities and shark nets."

Xie Jin was green with envy: "Just listen to me and sell it. I can't stand having you living here."

"The thought of you waking up to a beach, a shore, sunshine, and the chance to play video games is so appealing."

"The moment I woke up, my manager's old face was urging me to get to work. I felt like dying."

The little princess said with a smug look, "Oh~ since you've said that... I definitely can't sell it. I still want to buy the one next door. Actually, I also have a boat, and I can go fishing at sea."

"You son of a bitch!! You deserve to die!! You deserve to die!!"

.......

.......

Like Xie Jin now, Andy Lau is also not very happy.

Cai Kangyong seems to have his eye on him; for some reason, he keeps making things difficult for him.

With only two awards left to be decided at the Golden Horse Awards, Tsai Kang-yung seemed to have heard the news.

Xie Jin patted Jie Lun on the shoulder; a memorable scene was about to unfold.

Andy Lau and the Golden Horse Awards feud begins at this moment [Search for the short video: 40th Golden Horse Awards, Andy Lau]

·······

The nominees for Best Actor are Leung Chiu-wai (Infernal Affairs), Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs), Simon Yam (PTU), Daniel Wu (The Night of the Demon), and Xie Jin (When a Man Falls in Love).

Apart from Xie Jin, it's basically a power struggle within the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Cai Kangyong stepped down from the stage, this time deliberately avoiding Xie Jin's position, clearly not wanting to deal with this jinx.

A dog that bites doesn't bark, but this mainland guy looks like the kind that bites...

.........

A smile spread across Cai Kangyong's face as he coughed lightly.

"All I hear from everyone is Andy Lau, Andy Lau. Where are the other nominees? Is there any respect for them?"

This statement, seemingly defending the other contestants, was actually intended to put Andy Lau in an awkward position, putting him in a difficult situation.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Kangyong put the microphone to Wu Yanzu's mouth and asked, "Do you think you can beat Andy Lau?"

They've stopped pretending and are just openly provoking trouble.

Yanzu awkwardly repeated, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say, I don't know, I don't know, let's wait and see." He kept repeating these few sentences, making him seem like the foolish son of a landlord.

Andy Lau sat there with a smile on his face, but he was actually very uncomfortable. Cai Kangyong's words were tantamount to praising him to death and humiliating him in public.

  

Cai Kangyong asked Yanzu repeatedly, but he couldn't get any more information out of him by pretending to be stupid.

He then placed the microphone next to Ren Dahua's mouth.

"Mr. Simon Yam, who do you think will win Best Actor? Is it you? Will you beat Andy Lau?"

This guy is a master of playing dumb!

"It doesn't matter, I'm playing a cop anyway, so even if I don't win an award, I won't arrest them."

Cai Kangyong was never satisfied with this answer and wasn't about to let him off the hook, pressing him relentlessly: "Then can you defeat him? Defeat Andy Lau?"

As the saying goes, "Old people are cunning, and old horses are slippery," and Ren Dahua is the most slippery of all.

He immediately started rambling, replying randomly after reading the message: "I'm two years older than him, I'm two years older than him."

"The ceremony was very well done, very well done."

The old-fashioned ideas are still too abstract.

You say your piece, I'll say mine, but don't try to trick me into jumping into a pit if you're not going to take the bait.

Cai Kangyong gripped the microphone tightly, one pretending to be stupid while the other replied randomly after reading the message. How come this is different from his own variety show appearances?

Just because someone makes a couple of comments doesn't mean they should start arguing!

Leung Chiu-wai didn't come, and of the nominated candidates, Hsieh Chin was the only one who hadn't been asked.

Cai Kangyong was about to hand the microphone to Xie Jin's mouth.

Xie Jin gave him a displeased look, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Cai Kangyong's face turned pale. This mad dog was about to bite! Instinctively, he put the microphone away.

That plague god...

·······

·······

Cai Kangyong was absolutely certain that he could flatter Andy Lau to the point of exhaustion, leaving the latter helpless.

Continuing to tease him, they walked directly to Andy Lau's side.

"Oh my, it must be so hard for Andy Lau to come every year, year after year."

"Brother Hua, what do you think? Was it tough? Do you think you could win an award?"

This time, Cai Kangyong directly shoved the microphone into Andy Lau's mouth.

Looking at Andy Lau's embarrassed face, she said, "Every year I thought it would be me... I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cai Kangyong snatched the microphone away, not allowing him to finish his sentence.

His tone was utterly sarcastic: "You think it's you again this year?"

Andy Lau's hands unconsciously kept fastening the buttons on his inner shirt, not knowing where to put them.

The intense heat emanating from the lamplight on him at that moment felt as unbearable as the gazes of those around him.

Xie Jin did find it rather disgusting; such a despicable person's attitude of praising one and belittling the other was truly vile.

Cai Kangyong clearly has no intention of letting Andy Lau off the hook.

"Since Mr. Andy Lau is so confident in winning the grand prize, let's announce it then."

·······

·······

"The winner of the Best Actor award at the 40th Golden Horse Film Festival is... *Infernal Affairs*."

He stopped there.

Xie Jin, Simon Yam, and Daniel Wu also stopped struggling.

Now it's up to Andy Lau or Tony Leung...

"Infernal Affairs"...........

The silence that lasted a few seconds was deafening, and Cai Kangyong looked at Andy Lau with such a mocking gaze.

Andy Lau had a smile on his face, but the veins on his temples were throbbing a few times.

"Leung Chiu-wai from 'Infernal Affairs'!"

Tony Leung was not there, so the camera focused on the empty seat next to Andy Lau, who looked uneasy and forced a smile.

Finally, Liu Weiqiang went on stage to accept the award on behalf of Liang Chaowei.

·······

·······

Xie Jin's film was not nominated for Best Feature Film at the end of the awards ceremony.

As expected, "Infernal Affairs" won Best Feature Film.

The film festival ended shortly afterward, and the buffet began.

The celebrities chatted in small groups, and without the cameras and entertainment reporters watching, everyone was much more relaxed.

The hamster was absolutely dazzling today, looking ethereal in her white dress, with a slightly aloof expression—simply perfect.

Her shoulders were fair with a rosy glow, and faintly sheened with a pearly sheen; she must have secretly scrubbed herself in the bath yesterday...

The two kept exchanging pleasantries with the guests who came to greet them, and soon a small stack of business cards appeared in their pockets.

The big hamster sucked on its belly and gently pulled Xie Jin toward the pastry section: "Xie Jin, peek inside, I don't have a belly, do I?"

"A little bit."

"I'll inhale!"

The hamster sucked in its stomach and let out a long breath: "Phew, Xie Jin, I think I've developed anorexia lately. I feel like swallowing everything I see that looks delicious."

"...That should be called gluttony disorder, a type of overeating disorder."

The hamster narrowed its eyes: "Oh~ you found out. Then hurry up and arrest that chestnut cake, I need to interrogate it."

"I'm not going."

"Then you keep watch for me, I'll do it myself. I've been eyeing that little cake for ages."

"...I really overestimated you..."

"Mmm...it's delicious...mmm, do you want some?"

........

........

Congratulations, Director Xie!

"Congratulations, Brother"

Xie Jin turned around and saw Li Yang and Baoqiang. Baoqiang even handed Xie Jin two cups of passion fruit drinks. The big hamster was startled and almost choked.

"Brother, your drink tastes so sweet."

"Thank you, Baoqiang."

Baoqiang turned his head and grinned sheepishly, handing over another cup: "Hello, sister, you should drink this too, it's very sweet."

Liu Yifei paused for a second, "Sister? Who's older between us?"

He nodded stiffly. "Okay."

"Brother Li, you truly deserved to win Best Adapted Screenplay. Baoqiang's performance was also excellent."

Li Yang held Xie Jin's hand and whispered, "Junior Brother Xie gave us a boost today! Baoqiang is a promising talent, it's a pity I'm banned from directing. If you have the chance, you really should give him a try."

"Does he own a company?"

Li Yang was somewhat surprised. "No, I don't even have a job!"

Xie Jin shoved a business card into Baoqiang's arms: "Baoqiang, would you like to work for my company?"

Baoqiang, looking rather naive, asked Xie Jin, "Can I, brother? I'm willing, but... but I'm afraid I'll hold you back."

Xie Jin understood why both Cao Cao and Liu Bang preferred fools.

Who wouldn't adore Baoqiang, who's so innocent and naive?

"Forget it, it's pointless to ask you. Just come with me in a bit, and we'll take our time when we get back to Beijing."

Baoqiang, don't worry. I've already saved Jia Nailiang, so I won't abandon you either.

I'll make sure you never see those people surnamed Ma or Song again in this lifetime.

Actually, after signing Baoqiang, you could try contacting Director Kang and Lan Xiaolong.

The current version of "Soldiers' Assault" should still be called "Erna Assault". The script should have been completed in 01, but no one submitted it.

A film without a female lead would be a guaranteed money-loser in today's terms.

The script sat untouched for five years, and it seems that Director Kang didn't find funding until two years later.
