Chapter 119 Another Turning Point

As an award ceremony for TV dramas and movies in the United States, the Golden Globe Awards is slightly different from the awards ceremony for various domestic film and television awards.

The action here is not a row of movie seats like watching a movie, but the seats are placed around round tables one after another, as if everyone is enjoying a sumptuous feast.

Jiang Xing's film that was shortlisted for the Golden Globe was "Sunset". After he came here, he sat with the crew of "Sunset"; Lu Yunkai's seat was a little far away from Jiang Xing. People from all walks of life sit together, male and female leading actors, directors, all sit at this table.

It has been more than half a year since the filming of this film. In the past six months, foreign directors who have worked with Lu Yunkai called Lu Yunkai more than once, or invited Lu Yunkai to join a new play, or wanted to introduce Lu Yunkai offered directors he knew, but without exception, Lu Yunkai politely rejected them all.

While refusing on the phone, Lu Yunkai has also stayed in China and has never met with these directors before. Now the members of the crew are meeting at the Golden Globe awards ceremony. The previous director is half smiling and half blaming: "Lu, I haven't heard from you for so long, I thought you were going to launch the film industry."

… He had indeed had such a thought, just less than a week ago.

The smile on Lu Yunkai's face was mixed with some complicated emotions.

He didn't hold back and glanced back at where Jiang Xing was, and found that Jiang Xing was talking to the people beside him. Then, he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or he felt his gaze, and Jiang Xing, who was talking to the crew, quickly turned around. Come over.

The eyes of the two met.

The distance and light made it difficult for them to accurately detect each other's expressions.

But smiles appeared on both faces at the same time.

They can feel each other's smile at the same time without using their eyes.

Lu Yunkai turned his gaze back.

He said frankly to the director: "Mr. Beaufort, I am not planning to quit acting, but I was troubled by illness before, and I couldn't get out of the role for a while, the role I played in your movie before , left too much influence on me..."

Return your gaze to where Jiang Xing is for the time being.

Now there is still a short period of time before the official start of the party, Yu Kexin was bored and knocked on the melon seeds, and asked Jiang Xing: "How are you practicing in British drama recently?"

Jiang Xing was about to answer, but this sentence was not the point of Yu Kexin at all!So before Jiang Xing could really speak up, Yu Kexin asked, "When are you going to go back to China and make another movie?"

Jiang Xing: "..."

He had to sort out the language he was about to say, dumbfounded, and then said, "Is there any film Director Yu wants to make recently?"

The domestic entertainment industry still values ​​human relations very much, after all, China is originally a society of human relations.

The "Sunset" filmed by Jiang Xing last year is still continuing his way to win awards even now, from the Palm Film Festival, to the Golden Tiger Award in China, and now to participate in the Golden Globe Awards, and will come in April this year Golden Bauhinia Award - no matter what Jiang Xing's own strength is, Yu Kexin's "Sunset" is a turning point that brought him to where he is today. , as long as it's not really terrible, Jiang Xing has no reason to refuse.

Now he has figured out the habit of Yu Kexin, so he said very calmly: "When director Yu wants to shoot a movie, just let me know. As long as it doesn't conflict with the schedule of the movie I have already accepted, I will go."

What Yu Ke wanted was almost the same answer, he nodded in satisfaction, and continued to smash melon seeds!

Just at this time, the award ceremony of the Golden Globe Awards has officially started, and the two beautiful hosts all came on stage, already saying: "Goodevening! Ladies and gentlemen——"

The lively atmosphere was ignited at this moment, and all the people present were ready to laugh all the way!

Whether it's the comparison with previous episodes or the teasing of every big star present, people can't help but smile knowingly.

The hosts in red dresses and blue skirts sang together and pointed out many stars present one by one, and the camera faithfully followed the host's words and moved.

The reactions of the stars in front of the camera were as funny as the hosts, although most of them—including when they accepted the award—had been laughing and a little nervous, but there were also a few mavericks, such as a certain star Wearing sunglasses and smoking all the time, he looks particularly smoky; another example is that a certain big and big guy improvised an expression in front of the camera of a character he has played all his life.

The order of awarding the Golden Globes starts with Best Supporting Actress in a Movie, and Jiang Xing, like everyone else, was applauding the award-winning actors when he suddenly heard that the winner of the Best Supporting Actor in a Movie was——Lu Yunkai, "Intothedark"!

This is the second person of Chinese descent to win the Golden Globe in history!

When the awards were announced, the sound of the music played in the banquet hall suddenly changed again, and it belonged to the deep, melodious and beautiful sound of the cello.

When Jiang Xing turned his head to look at Lu Yunkai's position because of his surprise, Lu Yunkai didn't seem to have reacted yet, still sitting in his position without any special expression, but the people around him had already turned their faces and acted towards Lu Yunkai. congratulations!

A beam of light projected from the ceiling hit Lu Yunkai following the confirmation of the award. In front of the camera and in the banquet hall, Lu Yunkai slowly came back to his senses, and the expression on his face began to change—if we say that at the very beginning, If he just smiled politely, then now, he first showed a little bewilderment, and then naturally burst into joy. Two equally strong emotions intertwined on his face, which made him show an expression similar to that of many award-winning stars——

But it doesn't stop there.

Lu Yunkai walked up to the awards platform and took the golden ball with a base representing honor from the award presenters.

He looked around the scene, with some indescribable expressions other than surprise on his face.

That is probably the relief and piety after being recognized.

He didn't expect to win the award at all, and he was never ready to accept the award on stage. He stood on the stage, and after a brief moment of speechlessness, he looked down at the award in his hand. After receiving the trophy, he raised his head again: "Thank you to the judges for awarding me the award this time. I did not expect such a result, whether it was during or after the shooting... A lot of things have happened recently... I want to present my The trophy in my hand is dedicated to those who love me... and those I love..."

His eyes were on a certain place in the banquet hall, as if he was just touching water.

He quickly moved his gaze away, and with the deflection of his gaze, the almost uncontrollable gushing emotion also subsided.

The smile on his face became bigger, and he spoke the award lines more smoothly. After about two or three minutes, after he finished talking, Lu Yunkai walked off the podium and returned to his original seat to sit down.

The Golden Globe awards ceremony was broadcast in real time around the world. As early as when Lu Yunkai won the Best Supporting Actor Award, the news spread back to China. Of course, the public opinion in the domestic entertainment industry was in an uproar. This was still without any company or individual pushing In the case of hype, one can think of why the stars made every effort to black Lu Yunkai that day.

No one expected that Lu Yunkai won the award.

Chen Liang in China, like everyone else, only found out when the news arrived, but at this time his professional quality was revealed: he immediately put all the evidence collected during this period of time to refute the previous black material. On the Internet, at the same time, there was a lot of hype about "the second Chinese winner of the Golden Globe Award in history", and by the way, while everyone's attention was being attracted, he helped Lu Yunkai brush up on "artistic genius, interpersonal fool" This TAG, in response to all kinds of black materials before, only publicly stated that all the black materials of Lu Yunkai before were fabricated by Lu Yunkai's company for retaliation!

This time everything is ready and the wind is gathered. The Internet people are absolutely keen on this kind of annual drama. In fact, the truth is not important at this time. After experiencing such a large-scale black water action, it is Lu Yunkai's fan. Anyway, I don't care what black material Lu Yunkai has; if it is Lu Yunkai who is black, he won't turn against him because of a little explanation now, and the rest of the passers-by, it all depends on which side sings beautifully or who arouses sympathy , Just standing there waving the flag and shouting, there is no moral integrity!

But even before, domestic public opinion could not influence Lu Yunkai by virtue of public opinion itself, and now of course it cannot affect Lu Yunkai who is far away from a continent.

At the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, Lu Yunkai won the Best Supporting Actor Award, while Jiang Xing's Sunset unfortunately missed out on the Best Foreign Language Film award, and the final award was won by the British film "Mysterious Dead".

When the Golden Globe Awards ceremony and the red carpet later came to an end, Jiang Xing and Lu Yunkai also returned to the UK. Lu Yunkai continued to pour paint and paint or make desserts, while Jiang Xing continued to focus on the rehearsal of new dramas.

In the first few days of February, there is still half a month before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and half a month and four days before the Oscar Awards Ceremony.

Jiang Xing has already stepped onto the big stage of British drama, starting his first performance in a new country!

The curved dome is made of white and gold, the rows of chairs are red suede, and the floor under your feet is gray with spots like stars in the sky.

Lu Yunkai sat in the first few rows of the auditorium, watching the drama on the stage very intently.

In this play called "Prince Iante", Jiang Xing is not the number one actor, but only one of the main supporting actors. However, apart from the protagonist, Jiang Xing also appeared quite early, almost before the It showed up in 10 minutes or so.

Appearing with him was the deer that had been living beside them before.

The nimble and streamlined running posture of the stag makes the hunter next to him with a bow and arrow show a kind of coldness unique to the forest.

The stag spotted the prince first.

The hunter who was about to leave was bitten by the hem of his coat by a deer.

This detail was not reflected when Jiang Xing was alone at home with his lines.

Lu Yunkai stared intently.

Time always has no sense of existence when people devote themselves to something.

Around the time when Lu Yunkai was reminiscing about the stag lowering his head and stubbornly biting the corner of the hunter's coat, the plot of the drama had already progressed to the dispute between the hunter and the prince!

This is the climax of Lu Yunkai's confrontation with Jiang Xing before!This is also the first few parts of the whole drama that can best express the tension of the actors!

It wasn't just Lu Yunkai who was paying attention, but most of the audience present were also paying attention, and their attention was completely captured by the performance of the two people on the stage.

Prince's performance was not too similar to Lu Yunkai's previous improvisational performance.

Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, no two actors will perform exactly the same.

Leaving aside those professional drama skills that Lu Yunkai had no training at all and could not match at all——From the performance of the characters, the prince standing on the stage is even more dazzling and energetic!

The designs and frame-ups from the domestic enemies, and the physical injuries obviously did not break the prince's confidence. When the prince stood in front of the hunter and talked about the environment he was familiar with in his country, his eyes were still shining. Among them, is the prince's determination for the future, or the prince's ambition for the future?

Or, determination and ambition are two sides of the same coin?

Not all different performances can be judged simply as good or bad, or better or worse.

Lu Yunkai's eyes quickly shifted from the prince to the hunter.

In all the vigorous momentum that belongs to the prince, the hunter said nothing, but he was like a reef by the sea, like a withered pine on a cliff. In the end, it was as firm and stable as ever.

It was different from the previous time.

Lu Yun thought about it.

When Jiang Xing performed with him before, his emotions were more open and passionate; but now, he is more determined and stubborn.

No matter which one, it is the most suitable response when facing different actors with different performances——

At last after the prince's generosity - the hunter spoke.

His face is like the most stubborn stone in the world.

His tone is like the toughest rope in the world.

He looked at his deer and said, "—but I have my destiny too."

What Jiang Xing and Lu Yunkai have performed has come to an end.

But the prince and the hunter continued.

The prince seemed to be suffocating.

The prince became sad: "My dear friend, you make my heart feel as if it is exposed to the hot sun, as if it is tormented in a frying pan. Have you no mercy for me? Please look into my eyes and tell me personally -"

The hunter looking at the deer slowly turned his gaze to the prince's face.

He was about to open his mouth to speak words that were colder than a blade.But the cold and hard expression on his face was cracked like a spider web before his words came out!

Lu Yunkai took a deep breath, it wasn't him, many viewers took a deep breath!

I felt it again, it was the last time I saw it in China, and it was also such a climax——

This feeling……

This kind of strong urge, such a strong urge, makes me want to go up immediately, take over the opponent's position, take over the opponent's next sentence, and Hunter—and King Ashilius—and Jiang Xing!Come to a head-on and complete duel!

This idea vaguely appeared in Lu Yunkai's mind long ago.

After going through so many things, watching the man who let him enter the entertainment circle step by step to the present, and when his acting skills have reached the peak, he finally got caught up with him one after another just like his feelings for the other party. Cong's silk thread is wrapped around and wrapped, becoming a lingering obsession in my heart.

The play starts at [-]:[-] p.m. and ends at [-]:[-] p.m.

At the end of the curtain call, the audience stood up and applauded the wonderful performance of the actors.

Lu Yunkai has recently carried out the behavior of brushing his face from domestic to foreign countries - he was a big star in China, and he often came to Jiang Xing's rehearsals abroad, and he was familiar with the crew, so he quickly passed the staff here. ——A fellow actor, he found Jiang Xing who was taking off his make-up and changing clothes backstage, but Jiang Xing was changing inside, so the dressing room with the name plate of the other party was closed.

Lu Yunkai waited outside the closed door of the room.

But to his surprise, another foreigner who followed him in before also looked at the house number all the way, then walked all the way here and stopped, making the same "wait here" posture as Lu Yunkai!

The two people waiting in front of the same door looked at each other in surprise.

The foreigner was the first to extend his hand to greet Lu Yunkai, and he said, "If I remember correctly, you are Mr. Lu who won the Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globe Awards before?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Lu Yunkai asked.At this time, he took a formal look at the other party, and found that the other party was a middle-aged man in his 40s—just roughly—because the other party had a big beard on his face, so it was impossible to determine his real age.

"Edmund Wolf." He responded and introduced himself, "A director, are you and Mr. Jiang good friends?"

"Yes, Mr. Wolf. Are you going to find Jiang Xing?" Lu Yunkai asked an obvious question.

Mr. Wolfe was about to answer when the closed locker room door opened, and Jiang Xing, who had washed off his makeup and changed his clothes, came out from inside. He saw two people standing at the door at a glance, and said, "Yunkai... Hello?"

The last two words were obviously aimed at Mr. Wolfe.

The Lord has appeared, and things will be easy to handle.

After the three of them left the theater, they found a nearby coffee shop to sit down. Wolfe introduced himself to Jiang Xing again, a director.

Jiang Xing smiled slightly, and said: "I have watched the British dramas directed by Mr. Wolfe. Personally, my favorite is the "Reflection" series directed by you. It is compact and has a full sense of humor."

The director in his forties had a pair of blue eyes. He was very happy, grinning his cheeks covered by a thick beard, and said to Jiang Xing with a smile: "So are you interested in participating in my new mini-series? There’s an important character—certainly not one that dies in 3 minutes, and the miniseries here don’t need to go to your country to find the box office.” He joked, “Just—an important character. I just watched it Your performance on stage, whether it is English or stage skills, is very sufficient. So if you are also interested, we can talk about the script."

When he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yunkai by the way.

Wolfe was also surprised to meet another Asian member who had just won Best Supporting Actor here.But to be honest, he didn't feel moved by it or thought of changing his decision.Aside from the fact that Jiang Xing has already proved that he can be close to the British show business circle on the big stage of the drama, the new mini-series he is preparing does not really want emotional actors like Lu Yunkai.

That's right, a sensual actor.

He appreciates it more, what his role needs more is a rational actor, just like Jiang Xing.

boom!

It exploded in the sky like a little firework.

Although Jiang Xing didn't have the kind of excitement and excitement of "Wow, what, I won the prize!?" at this time, but the joy still fell from the sky to the heart continuously like spring rain, It's like the pride of the grass seeds and saplings just breaking through the soil and seeing the sun——

He calmed down a bit, it wasn't too difficult, because when he recognized the foreigner who appeared in front of him, and the British director introduced to him "I am a director" solemnly, he had a vague premonition, Now it's just that the premonition has been fulfilled, so although I'm happy, I don't feel a complete surprise.

He settled down for a moment, originally wanted to talk to the director first, ask about the specific situation of the film and the character design of the character he was going to play, but before speaking, there was an inexplicable and gentle force acting on his body , so that he couldn't help turning his face to look at Lu Yunkai who was sitting in another seat.

Lu Yunkai was also looking at him at this time.

Both of them found a deep joy in each other's eyes.

This is for all to see.

And in a place where no one could see, even beyond the two people's own expectations, they just subconsciously stretched out their hands under the table and touched each other's palms.

Then they held it naturally, and held it fiercely and forcefully—as if they wanted to transfer and blend the power in their bodies together!

At the same time, in the big theater, a stranger found one of the directors of the troupe, Mr. Hosea.

Mr. Hosea had just finished some things in the troupe, and when he turned his head and saw someone coming, he said exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, look at this, a thief, here he is again! He wants to steal from me Steal another beautiful boy! I have to tell him that this time he is delusional! He will never get what he wants!"

Then they laughed, they hugged and greeted familiarly, and then Hosea asked, "Stephen, which one are you looking at this time?"

"Actually, I just bought you a drink." Stephen said dissatisfied.

"Okay," Hosea shrugged, "that's just when I'm done, let's go have a drink together."

The two turned and left together.

Then Stephen's voice floated from the front, and he said: "But after watching today's performance, I am quite interested in your new-faced Asian. He—what's the situation?"

"Drink, drink, don't talk about business."

"Oh, come on, we're just chatting, who's talking to you about business?"

"Then I ask for a change of subject."

"Hey, you have to respect my choice of topic, you made me talk first—"

"Okay, okay, let's go to his business and personal affairs, anyway, how about you tell me about the other party? I have a bottle of [-] red wine in my family, you know."

"I understand. Now let's talk happily about the Asian you like. He is Mr. Jiang, a film and television actor. He has won the Best Actor Award at the Palm Film Festival in important international competitions Awards—"

"There is no need for these one-sided things, more and more important things, such as how is his learning ability, how is his acceptance ability, how is his temper? Can he integrate into your crew? Will there be integration problems with my crew in the future? ?”

"Oh, you know, I'm very busy, and it's easy for me to forget some unimportant things. You have to be considerate of an old man—"

"I still have a bottle of [-]-year-old red wine!" Stephen began to grit his teeth.

"Oh—" Hosea's voice was full of laughter, "Well, I've already remembered!"

×××××

Chen Liang's recent online public opinion has really been a bit dark.

To be honest, this is mainly due to the mentality of the stars who are tirelessly obsessed with Lu Yunkai - Chen Liang is very familiar with this, big companies will always be like this, interests and face are linked together Well, if you lose their face, you will hurt their interests; if you hurt their interests, they will have to kill you.

In the past, there may have been a situation where one company covered the sky with one hand.

But in the current Internet public opinion society——

Chen Liang looked at the flickering fluorescent screen with a mysterious smile on his lips.

Lu Yunkai was still so hacked that it was like carrying a bottle of cuttlefish juice with him, but this is not too important. Now that Lu Yunkai can't be cleaned up, he simply goes to the black and red side-this is also beneficial, he is in acting and awards. No matter what, he can attract a group of fans with an absolute number that is beyond the reach of ordinary stars. In this case, he can use this "absolute fan" to embark on a path that no amount of public opinion can defeat him. of that path.

Thinking about it is also very embarrassing. In the future, reporters who rely on celebrity gossip to eat and use gossip to blackmail celebrities when they meet Lu Yunkai, realize that no matter how hard they try to blackmail the opponent’s fans, it’s like watching a drizzle, and the fans don’t care anymore. Does the star himself care?It must be even more impossible, so don't you want to secretly prepare a pack of blood bags to replenish your blood in time?

Chen Liang laughed when he thought about it.

But these are not the focus now, the focus is still on the present and the issues of the stars.

Now that the stars are still holding on to it, Chen Liang thought calmly, then he can completely retaliate against him in his own way, planting all the recent unlucky things that happened to Lu Yunkai on the stars. Regardless of whether it was done by Zhongxing, Zhongxing is still a regular giant company, and it still pays attention to its image. Under such a situation of being "framed", no matter whether Zhongxing will hit Lu Yunkai again in the performing arts career, anyway, in On the issue of personal safety, the stars did not dare to do anything, maybe they are quite concerned about Lu Yunkai's personal safety.

As for Lu Yunkai's acting career being suppressed... Hehe, if the stars had foreign methods, how could they not be upset that Lu Yunkai left and shamelessly smeared a star who became independent from his own family?

In the middle of the night, his mobile phone on the table rang suddenly.

Chen Liang picked it up casually, said "Hello", and heard Jiang Xing's voice enter his ears.

His eyes froze for a moment, and soon he was surprised and delighted: "What? You said that someone in the UK asked you to make a movie? It's an important role—wait a minute? Still have to choose?"

"A miniseries, a movie?"
