Chapter 591: The Carnival of the Two Guos: Li Ziqi, the New Assistant of the Resurrection
Chapter 591 ① Carnival ② Double Guo ③ New Assistant ④ Resurrected Li Ziqi
This year's Golden Horse Awards, like previous years, was broadcast on the mainland by the movie channel.
And because of the hot spots such as the battle between Xianmi and Fan Bingbing, and the fact that the Cannes masterpiece "Parasite" was nominated for 13 awards, this year's attention was much higher than in previous years, and the ratings created a record high.
However, netizens were also mentally prepared for the unpredictable nature of the Golden Horse Awards, and were worried that Director Quan would return empty-handed again this time, so sensible Wang Quan fans have already started to step on it online.
"What awards or no awards, this thing depends on luck."
"With Director Quan's current record, even if he doesn't win an award, he is still the best in the industry!"
"He has already won the Palme d'Or, so what's the point of the Golden Horse!"
"Director Quan's winning the Golden Horse is not his honor, but the honor of the Golden Horse. I hope the Golden Horse will not be ignorant."
When it was announced that Wang Quan won the Best Director, the trend on the Internet immediately became
"The Golden Horse Awards are indeed the first Chinese film event!"
"The Golden Horse Awards have a good vision!"
"Director Quan's road to the three golds starts from the Golden Horse Awards, looking forward to the Grand Slam!"
"Best Director, he deserves it!"
Beijing, Gulinaza's home.
"Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has just finished filming, and she invited her niece Reba to visit her home and watch the Golden Horse live broadcast together.
When they saw Wang Quan on stage to receive the award, the two girls cheered and hugged happily.
Of course, Nazha must be happier. On impulse, she kissed Reba on the mouth directly to show her irrepressible joy.
Reba wiped her lips with disdain behind Nazha's back, thinking that your mouth might have done something, and you kissed me.
But Reba did envy Nazha's relationship with Wang Quan, which indirectly made her dislike it. If she was asked to do it directly, she might also rush to do it.
After all, she has become so popular thanks to Running Man, but she still has to play a supporting role for Nazha in "Three Lives Three Worlds", which shows the importance of holding a thigh.
Her thigh sister Mi is definitely not as thick as Nazha's thigh director Quan.
~
Yang Chaoyue believes that Yang Mi and Wang Quan are both her thighs, although she has not met Yang Mi yet.
Not long ago, she just went back to her hometown. Because she is under the age of 18, she needs her father to sign a trainee contract with Mi Shi.
Then she will live in Beijing. In fact, she likes Shanghai more and wants to buy a big house in Shanghai.
In Beijing, she was arranged to live in the female artist dormitory of Mi Shi. It is a two-bedroom and one-living room house. She lives with another sister who signed the contract earlier than her.
This sister is called Tian Xiwei. She has a pair of sweet dimples. She is one year older than herself and is from Shancheng.
But she is much better than herself. She is in Beijing to prepare for the Beijing Film Academy art exam next year. After the exam next year, she will return to Shancheng to prepare for the college entrance examination.
Although Yang Chaoyue has a low education, she has rich social experience. Her little mouth makes Tian Xiwei very happy. Tian Xiwei even brings her food after coming back from class.
Their courses are different. Tian Xiwei is preparing for the art exam of the Film Academy, while Yang Chaoyue is preparing to be an idol, mainly singing, dancing, rap, idol etiquette and so on, which has not officially started yet.
The two ate while watching the Golden Horse Awards live broadcast. When they saw Fan Bingbing first won the Best Supporting Actress and then the Best Actress, there was an emotion in their eyes called "the other can replace him".
When they saw Liang Jiahui won the Best Actor, they excitedly shouted "Five!"
This is the fifth award won by "Parasite" tonight.
When Wang Quan won the Best Director award, Tian Xiwei even opened a can of beer and clinked glasses with Yang Chaoyue, boasting: "You may not know that I almost acted in Director Quan's play and spent a month with him day and night."
Yang Chaoyue immediately widened her eyes and asked in a flattering manner: "Sister Tian, you have this background! Tell me in detail~"
Tian Xiwei's face was flushed and she was a little tipsy: "Oh, it's all old news, keep watching, hey, did someone call Director Quan's name on the stage just now?"
"Yes, but it was Lin Zhiling who called it and asked him to guess which movie would win the award."
The last award was given, and Lin Zhiling walked off the stage with the microphone and interacted with Wang Quan.
Generally, the host will tease Wang Quan when the best actor and actress are announced, but Wang Quan is treated specially, and his popularity is no less than those best actor and actress.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xianmi was there, Lin Zhiling would have wanted to sit on his lap for an interview.
The award ceremony.
Wang Quan took the microphone and looked at Director Li An who was preparing to present the award on the stage. He had already opened the envelope and was just waiting to read the name. "I saw Director Li An's eyes were full of conviction, so I guess the winner should be a movie he likes very much, but because I am not him, I can't guess which one will win in the end."
Wang Quan wittily threw the question to Li An, who said to the microphone: "Director Wang Quan guessed right, this movie is indeed excellent and convinced me, can I say it now?"
After teasing Wang Quan, Lin Zhiling returned to her hosting position, and then Li An announced: "The winner of the 52nd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for Best Film is... "Parasite", congratulations!"
After hearing this name as he wished, Wang Quan closed his eyes slightly, and then happily pulled Fan Bingbing, Wen Yongshan, Zhou Ye and others to stand up. After hugging, all the crew members went on stage to receive the award!
This is also the seventh award "Parasite" won tonight! "Parasite" has become the well-deserved biggest winner of this year's Golden Horse Awards!
Although it only won about half of the nominations, the Golden Horse Awards has always had a tradition of balancing local films and mainland films, and will give some pork to take care of local films.
Especially "The Assassin" may be Hou Hsiao-hsien's last film, and he has not won the Golden Horse Best Picture so far.
Many industry insiders predict that Hou Hsiao-hsien will win the Best Picture this year, and then let Wang Quan win the Best Director.
Yes, although Hou Hsiao-hsien is the top local director in Taiwan after Edward Yang's death, and is also an internationally renowned film master, who has been nominated for Cannes seven times, but in fact he has not even won the local Golden Horse Best Picture, but has won the Best Director twice.
Edward Yang has won the Best Picture twice, but not the Best Director.
This has to be said to be a regret for the two peerless directors in the Taiwanese director world.
And Wang Quan, who won these two honors at the same time, only added a thin layer of gold to his own gold.
After all, he already has an Oscar and a Palme d'Or in his hands, and he has indeed passed the stage of needing to rely on the three domestic awards to prove himself. It's nothing more than giving fans an additional resume of the three domestic awards when they brag about him.
The camera swept across the faces of Hou Hsiao-hsien, Jia Zhangke and others. Hou Hsiao-hsien couldn't hide the disappointment on his face. At his age, it was hard to say whether his next film would be better than "Nie Yinniang". Perhaps it would be more realistic for him to wait for the Golden Horse Lifetime Achievement Award.
When the award ceremony officially ended, Wang Quan shook hands with the judges one by one.
They must have been under great pressure to be able to award several awards to "Parasite". After all, this might be Hou Hsiao-hsien's last time.
Among them, the quick-talking Peking University professor Dai Jinhua did not hide her appreciation for Wang Quan, and said that she agreed to be a judge just to see the uncut version of "Parasite" in advance.
Especially after watching "Who is He", which has a very high artistic level, she became more curious about "Parasite", which has a higher evaluation.
Professor Dai's favorite Chinese director was Jiang Wen, but "Let the Bullets Fly" disappointed her.
She didn't say the film was bad, but she was disappointed that it was too commercial and could not satisfy people in terms of artistic level, and it did not reach the level of Jiang Wen's previous three films.
Humans are inherently double-standard. Because Jiang Wen's previous works were more literary, she was disappointed when a less literary and more popular film suddenly came out.
Wang Quan's previous works were mainly commercial films, and this time he made a film that won awards, which made her feel like she had found a treasure.
But she was still a little curious: "Parasite is indeed very explicit. I mean it directly faces the pain of class. If it were another director, they might be blocked. With your status, I think the Film Bureau should turn a blind eye. Why hasn't it been released yet?"
Wang Quan said honestly: "The Film Bureau didn't block me. I plan to win an Oscar for this film. If I win, it will be more conducive to domestic publicity, so I thought I'd wait a little longer."
"So that's the case. I understand," Dai Jinhua said again: "In fact, I think you can be bolder. The background of this film is also applicable in the mainland, and the artistic content will be higher."
Wang Quan smiled: "I did consider it, but that might really make it difficult for the Film Bureau, so it's better to put it in Hong Kong. You don't have to be restricted when shooting, you can do whatever you want."
Dai Jinhua heard Wang Quan's explanation and sighed, "I hope to see a day when you can shoot freely in the mainland."
Wang Quan felt that it was unlikely that Teacher Dai would see that day, but he might still have hope.
Here, "Parasite" is preparing to hold a celebration banquet in the hotel, and many filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong are invited to attend. Over there, the hot search list on Weibo has been dominated by the Golden Horse Awards.
The first hot search is "Fan Bingbing Golden Horse Awards!" The photo of Pang Bing holding a Golden Horse in each hand quickly spread all over the Internet.
Ping Ping Shi Shi: Won the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the same session, my Bing is so amazing!
Bored and reading a book: My Bing should be the top of the four Dan and Shuang Bing, beautiful and strong!
Mi Fu: The key is that Bing Bing is still a post-80s, only a few years older than Xian Mi!
Lance Xiaoqiang: Won two acting awards in one session, this should be the first time at the Golden Horse Awards!
丶人鸟死了: Although I prefer Pang Xian's performance, congratulations to Pang Bing, she is really a good actor.
New Director v587: Humph, let's see who says that our Bing Bing only has beauty but no acting skills!
At this moment, Zhang Ziyi, who was pregnant at home, saw the first hot search on Weibo and looked unbelievable. She actually won two awards!
Humph, you got the chance to market it, didn't you? Even the popularity of the terms "Parasite swept the Golden Horse Awards!" and "Director Wang Quan won the Best Director and Best Film!" was suppressed.
It has to be said that top female stars are top stars. In recent years, the only one who can compete with Xianmi is Fan Bingbing.
What's more, this time Fan Bingbing defeated Xianmi, who gained weight and shaved her head, and also won the Best Supporting Actress.
In fact, Fan Bingbing's publicity team has not yet made any efforts. Bingcheng Entertainment only made marketing plans for winning the Best Supporting Actress or Best Actress in advance. Unexpectedly, she won two awards, so many pre-written press releases had to be revised.
And those press releases were hot searches before they came out.
Competing female stars like Zhang Ziyi who are unhappy with Fan Bingbing can now buy popularity for Wang Quan, Parasite, and Liang Jiahui, hoping to surpass Fan Bingbing's popularity.
Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing's first opponent in the eyes of the public, was the first to express congratulations on Weibo.
After all, the two of them have fought together too many times and have feelings for each other.
The scene of the hotel celebration banquet.
Lin Zhiling shook her phone and smiled at Fan Bingbing: "It's amazing, it has suppressed the enthusiasm for royal power."
Fan Bingbing shook the red wine glass: "The worst that can happen is that he will be on top of me tonight."
Lin Zhiling invited: "Why don't you come to my house tonight and I will provide a venue for you."
Fan Bingbing: "Humph, I think you want to participate too~"
Pang Bing had already finished filming "Unnatural Death" in Wanwan. During the filming period, she frequently went to Lin Chiling's house, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
~
Wang Quan is discussing the introduction of "Parasite" with the Wanwan Film Authority.
Because Golden Harvest is the producer behind "Parasite", there is no need to draw lots like other mainland movies and it can be released directly in Wanwan. This is also one of the meanings of Golden Harvest's existence.
However, the Wanwan market is too small, and Wang Quan doesn't care that much. It would be unsightly if pirated copies were leaked in advance, so it will probably be released simultaneously with the mainland next year.
Only in North America, specifically in Los Angeles, will there be a few small-scale screenings in advance to meet the Oscar nomination conditions.
While they were chatting, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi ran over.
It turned out that Sissi’s friend Chen Yanxi was going to take them out to eat some local food.
In fact, it is mainly to relax. The two of them, especially Sissi, are indeed the most popular this year. Fans have already done marketing for Sissi's Golden Horse title. Who would have thought that the popularity would be overturned.
However, Fan Bingbing is considered the second seed, so losing is not too unfair.
Wang Quan asked: "How about I accompany you guys?"
Liu Yifei: "No, I still need you as the master to take care of me here. Don't worry, there are two shows and three shows."
"All right."
~
When they arrived at Tibei Night Market, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi exchanged glances. They were going to eat openly today!
However, Chen Yanxi brought them out not only to comfort the two of them, but also to do something of her own.
"Qian Qian, you and Chen Xiao should be familiar with each other, right?"
Liu Yifei, who was eating Taiwanese sausage, was stunned for a moment, "Okay, okay, the three of us have acted in "To Youth" together."
"I have also been working with him recently in the drama version of "Zhu Xian"." Chen Yanxi said. In the drama version, Chen Xiao is the male protagonist, and she plays the third female lead, Tian Ling'er, so the two got to know each other.
This drama was cast by The Power World, and Yang Mi naturally knew it. She suddenly reacted: "Yan Xi, ask if he is..."
Chen Yanxi said sheepishly: "Oh, I just wanted to ask how he is. I always think he looks like a playboy."
Liu Yifei: "It's okay. I feel like Chen Xiao is just a literary young man who prefers painting."
Yang Mi revealed some inside information: "He seems to have talked with Zhao Liying from our company."
"What!" Liu Yifei and Chen Yanxi said at the same time in surprise.
Liu Yifei was even more surprised. In addition to being surprised that Yingbao had been in love before, she was also surprised, "So what does our company mean? Now she is no longer in the power world?"
Yang Mi: "Oh, Zhao Liying's contract with Power World has expired and will not be renewed. It will be officially announced later."
"Then where is she now?"
Yang Mi gritted her teeth: "I went to Bingcheng to be the second boss. Fan Bingbing gave her some share options."
Liu Yifei nodded, then she felt relieved.
Then she said to Chen Yanxi: "Don't worry, Zhao Liying is a very professional woman, and the ties will not be broken if we break up."
~
After the celebration banquet was over, Wang Quan drank some wine and was a little tipsy. Lin Zhiling was driving ahead, and Wang Quan and Fan Bingbing started directly in the car.
The car went directly into the underground garage of Lin Chiling's home, and then Lin Chiling climbed into the back.
There was also Xiao Wei's car parked nearby. He had led a team over to inspect the venue in advance.
Although the car was spacious enough, it was not as comfortable as the bed, so they quickly moved the venue.
After all his energy was exhausted, Wang Quan fell asleep directly.
When he woke up the next day, Lin Zhiling brought him breakfast, and Wang Quan rubbed his head.
"When did Bingbing leave last night?"
"After it was over, she took a shower and left." Lin Zhiling began to feed Wang Quan porridge.
Wang Quan: "Then how do I remember that there were two more people dancing on me in the middle of the night?"
Lin Zhiling covered her mouth and smiled: "That's a little surprise arranged for you, do you like it?"
"You made your own decision and deserved a beating!" Wang Quan said with a straight face, grabbed Lin Zhiling into his arms, lifted her up and beat her!
Sister Zhiling quickly begged for mercy, saying that she would never dare to do it again next time, "I also see that you seem to like them."
Wang Quan asked: "Who are they?"
"You have met Guo Biting and Guo Xuefu at Huang Xiaoming's wedding before. Don't worry, there is absolutely no coercion here. They are all voluntary. As long as you can take care of them when they go to the mainland in the future."
"The two of them~" Thinking of Guo Biting, Wang Quan couldn't help but think of Mr. Xiang who insisted on calling him uncle. He didn't expect to try his niece's daughter-in-law in advance.
Wang Quan can understand Guo Xuefu's words. After all, in Wanwan, there is no one who can reach a high level but a low level. With a small sacrifice, he might be able to achieve rapid success.
However, Guo Biting surprised Wang Quan. She has become famous in the mainland through the "Your Yida" and "Little Times" series. Is it necessary?
Sister Zhiling rubbed her buttocks and continued to serve Wang Quan: "What do you know? People are chasing stars. You can understand by imagining yourself as an idol star. If something can happen to you, I will remember it when I get old in the future. What a sense of accomplishment.”
Wang Quan nodded, but it was a pity that he was so dark and a little drunk that he had no memory. All he could remember was that the voices of the two of them were very loud.
Although it is not as loud as Sister Zhiling, the effect of the two-channel superposition is still very memorable.
"Where are they?" Wang Quan asked.
Lin Zhiling smiled slightly: "I'm resting in the next room. It's still early."
Wang Quan stretched his limbs and said, "Then let's do some morning exercises. You can come too."
~
Because he stayed out all night, Wang Quan often received Mimi's eyes when he returned to the hotel.
Considering that he really shouldn't have stayed out last night, Wang Quan, who originally wanted Guo Xuefu to be his assistant, also asked her to come back to the capital to perform her duties after a while and did not take her back this time.
Guo Xuefu is 27 years old this year. She has acted, been in a girl group, and been a model.
You can't become famous at this age, and you won't have any high achievements in the future. You might as well be your assistant, occasionally act in dramas, and do variety shows.
Guo Xuefu agreed without thinking, even without any salary.
Although she is just a small assistant, Guo Biting is envious of her. But she is not young, one year older than Wang Quan, and has a certain reputation, so she is really not suitable for this job.
Afterwards, Wang Quan flew to Jinling again, dropped Liu Yifei here, and then returned to the capital with Yang Mi.
Liu Yifei continues to film "July and Ansheng", while Yang Mi is about to start the promotion of "Get Out, Tumor King". She didn't win anything at the Golden Horse Awards. I don't know if it will have an impact on the box office.
This time when she returned to Beijing, Yang Mi met Yang Chaoyue for the first time.
The little girl is indeed very spiritual and has a very lovable personality.
She patted Yang Chaoyue on the shoulder: "Do a good job, I'll take good care of you."
"Thank you Sister Mi, I will definitely not let you down!"
Then a few days later, the teacher who trained Yang Chaoyue told Yang Mi, "She is tone deaf, has no sense of music, and her body is not very coordinated. She has no talent in singing and dancing."
Yang Mi, who had signed with Yang Chaoyue for ten years, was stunned, "Then what can she do?"
If you can't sing and dance, then how can you be an idol?
"She is quite funny and has good looks. Why don't you consider making her an internet celebrity?" the teacher suggested.
Yang Mi held her forehead. Fortunately, the signing fee was not high, and she was in a good mood now, and she had no intention of just throwing Xiao Yang away. That kid was so pitiful. As long as food and housing were included, the basic salary of several thousand yuan a month would be enough. Can be happy.
The box office of "Tumor King" was good after it was released. It exceeded 400 million in the first week. Even if it doesn't reach 1 billion, it still has 890 million. The key word-of-mouth is quite good.
Although Yang Mi did not win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, the highlight clip of her shaved head was widely circulated on the Internet, and some well-known film critics even commented, "The actor Yang Mi is the uncrowned king in my heart, a true actress-level performance!"
So Yang Mi called Jiang Yilei over.
"Mr. Jiang~"
Jiang Yilei, who had just returned from a business trip, smiled and said, "Please call me Mr. PA."
"How is it? Is that person suitable?" Yang Mi asked her.
This time Papi went to Mianyang, Sichuan Province, and signed an internet celebrity named Li Jiajia.
Li Jiajia is a gourmet internet celebrity. She is not very famous now and cannot compare with Papi Jiang.
Nowadays, Papi Jiang has more than 10 million followers on Weibo, and ranks among the top ten followers in Xiaoka Show. She is considered one of the top Internet celebrities today.
And her and Yang Mi's company not only has her as an Internet celebrity, but also plans to create other Internet celebrities. When the time comes, everyone can interact and help each other increase their fans and popularity. This is called a matrix.
When she was browsing online, she discovered Li Jiajia, a small Internet celebrity in rural Sichuan Province. This girl reminded her of Li Ziqi, the famous character played by Liu Yifei in "Human Fireworks".
Li Jiajia's appearance is definitely incomparable to Liu Yifei's, but her video style does have a bit of a human fireworks feel.
After Papi Jiang met her, she also admitted that she consciously imitated Liu Yifei.
Before Papi Jiang signed her contract, she obtained the authorization for "Li Ziqi" from Wang Dao. Wang Dao had already registered this name as a trademark, so not everyone can use it casually.
Then Papi Jiang told Li Jiajia, "Sign a contract with me, and you will be Li Ziqi from now on. There will be a whole team to decide whether you want to do it or not."
After reading the contract, rural girl Li Ziqi finally nodded.
After listening to Papi talk about this trip to Sichuan Province, Yang Mi handed her Yang Chaoyue's information, "Look at this girl and let her follow you. She was originally planned to be an idol, but she ended up doing nothing. No, what you eat is not enough.”
After receiving the information, Papi smiled and said: "Okay, I'll look back and see if I can work harder on the beauty eating and broadcasting area."
After Papi left, Yang Mi called Wang Quan, "Let's finish our work. Let's go to the set."
Now "July and Ansheng" has come to Beijing to film, and at the same time, the male lead Wang Quan will also start filming.
Director Zhang Jingchu also takes care of him, and most of his scenes are in the capital.
Wang Quan closed the computer and took a deep breath, "Let's go."
Yang Mi: "Are you nervous?"
Wang Quan: "Nonsense, the first scene is a passion scene. This is my first time filming such a thing in front of the camera."
Yu Feihong, who was standing next to Wang Quan, raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Well, can you tell me another one?
…
(Please give me the guaranteed monthly ticket for May!)
