Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

For local residents in Hong Kong, "Half a Century" is still very appealing.It not only gathers movie stars big and small from Hong Kong, but also top young students from mainland China join in. The director is Fan Chu, who has basically never made any bad movies. It is worth watching.

It's just that the promotion of "Half Century" has been going on for so long, and the delay in setting a release date is annoying.

The film side also has its own considerations.

Judging from the popularity, the release of "Half Century" is undoubtedly the best now. The audience is now enthusiastic, and they think they can reap a wave of box office after the release.

But from a long-term perspective, it will be more profitable to wait until "Half Century" is confirmed to win the award before it is released.Once a movie wins an award, even the sale of foreign copyrights can make a fortune.

It's just that it will take at least a month until the movie wins the award.A month later, there will be a new movie released, and the schedule may not be as good as it is now.

The most troublesome point is, what if "Half Century" fails to win the award after a month's delay?

This kind of thing is not unheard of.

As soon as a film was shortlisted for the award-winning unit, it began to publish press releases and wanted to tear up the film, but when the theater let go, the award was not judged, and the last two were lost.

What annoys Director Fan Chu most now is when people call and ask him if he can win an award, when the movie will be released, etc.It's not up to him to decide. Could it be what he says?Even if he can't win the award, he still has confidence in his film.

No, it's better to go abroad as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Fan Chu called a few of the nominated actors and told them to spare their schedules as soon as possible. They should use the excuse of "running the awards" to go abroad early.

Staying in the country will only make yourself more irritable.

Yang Li naturally also received the call, and readily agreed to the director.

Cough, he also hates when reporters ask him if he is confident that he can win the award!Yang Li really didn't have any confidence.

In "Half a Century", there are many supporting roles that he played better than him. I don't understand why he was nominated. It must be because the director edited it well.

Yang Li felt ashamed, and he was really embarrassed to see all kinds of domestic media bragging about his acting skills.He obviously didn't spend any money, why did the reporter praise him so much?

Thinking darkly, maybe my opponent is secretly flattering me to kill me.Praise me to the sky now, and then if I don't win the prize, I will make trouble or something.

"Little Lili, your expression betrays you. You think too darkly." Zhou Cheng felt a headache, and Yang Li has been in a state of confusion ever since he knew that he had been nominated for Best Supporting Actor.Today I asked "Am I dreaming?" Tomorrow I called to harass Zheng Wushu and said "I dreamed that I was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, do you think it's funny?", which made Zhou Cheng miserable. .

Zhou Cheng knew that girls were more irritable during their menstrual period, but what happened to Yang Li's convulsions?Moreover, not only did the convulsion not fade with time, but it became more and more serious.

At this time, the director asked Yang Li to go abroad in advance, and Zhou Cheng agreed with 1 people.

That's the way it should be.

Yang Li can't stay here anymore, if this continues, either Yang Li will go to see a psychiatrist, or he will go to see a psychiatrist!

"Brother Zhou, let's pack up and go abroad. We are going to Tokyo first, right? Let's go. Japanese sake is very famous, and I want to try it as soon as possible. There was also a brewer who made Japanese sake and said he wanted to meet me. On the one hand, I happen to meet you, and of course remember to hire a good translator for me."

Yang Li couldn't wait any longer.

"Don't worry." Zhou Cheng gave Yang Li an "OK" gesture, "Just take a good rest and wait for me to call you when the time comes. Don't you still have a commercial to shoot? I'll call and let you Assistant come up."

"it is good."

After sending Yang Li away, Zhou Cheng locked the door and mustered up the courage to call Zheng Wushu.

This is also the solution that Zhou Cheng thought of for a long time before he came up with it, and he really had no choice.Yang Li is obviously not right, he needs to find foreign aid.

Seeing that it was Zhou Cheng's call, Zheng Wushu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, knowing that there was probably something wrong with Yang Li.

Zhou Cheng was a man who cared very much for Yang Lishang, and he would not have called him if he hadn't really been recruited.In other words, even if Zhou Cheng had something to ask Zheng Wushu, he would call Wang Chuhong first, and then Wang Chuhong would pass it on to Zheng Wushu.

People who make direct calls like this usually have something wrong with Yang Li.

"...That's it, boss, if you have time recently, would you like to come to Tokyo to accompany Xiaoli? He seems to be really nervous, and the psychological pressure is a bit high." Zhou Cheng asked cautiously.

"With Yang Li's personality, he shouldn't be overwhelmed by such a trivial matter." Zheng Wushu is very aware of Yang Li's temperament, and the matter of the previous exchange meeting was even bigger, and he didn't see anything wrong with Yang Li place.

"I think so too." Zhou Cheng sighed, "But there seems to be some other reason, but Xiao Lili has been silent, and I don't know what he is thinking. Except for you, the boss, no one knows what Yang Li is doing now. What do you think?"

"I understand." Zheng Wushu nodded, "I originally planned to accompany him, but I didn't expect his journey to be faster than I thought. Thank you, because you are by Xiaoli's side, so I can feel at ease. Abroad."

"Where." Zhou Cheng smiled, "Isn't it the salary you paid me, the boss? Besides, the red envelope you gave me as a matchmaker is not low. I can't just take money and do nothing."

Zheng Wushu laughed a few times.

Money is money, mind is mind, the two cannot be put together.

When Yang Li arrived in Tokyo, he immediately contacted the master of Japanese sake brewing, got the master's home address, and went to visit with his own wine.

The courtyard of this Japanese master's home is quite Japanese and huge. It is said that the sake industry has been passed down for dozens of generations. It is a real "famous family" and is very respected locally.Many younger generations of brewers had to make an appointment to line up to see him, but Yang Li could see him as soon as he could imagine.

The translator next to Yang Li was full of praise for this master.

"Before I came here, I made up some knowledge of Japanese sake. I was afraid that I would not translate well if there were any professional vocabulary." The translator is a very cute girl who is studying at the University of Tokyo. She is also from the province of C, almost a fellow villager. up.

"My professor likes to have a drink or two when he has nothing to do, and he knows a little bit about this industry. He was very envious when he heard that I was going to meet this mountain master."

"Hey, so powerful." Yang Li didn't know that well, he just heard that this master Gaoshan was very good at brewing wine.

"Yes, he is already the No.15 generation, and has a long history. Currently, five of the presidents of the top ten sake production companies in Japan are said to be friends with this master Takayama and want to accept his advice. Woolen cloth!"

so smart?

Yang Li couldn't help feeling a little emotional, the status of winemakers in Japan is really high.

Speaking of which, Japanese sake was actually developed by referring to the brewing method of rice wine in their country.However, in the following 1000 years, after various changes, sake has also been divided into different types and tastes, and now it is one of the quintessence of Japan, with an extraordinary status.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this alpine master is really powerful.

Yang Li blinked his eyes, feeling that the wine he brought seemed a bit unhandy.

Cough, but the master also said that he wanted to taste his wine, and Yang Li had no choice.

"Is it Mr. Yang?"

Yang Li had just arrived at the door with an interpreter when he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a butler greet him, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

The translator girl also quickly went up to greet the housekeeper, and they began to chat smoothly with each other.

The butler was also a little surprised when he saw Yang Li's appearance.Although he heard from the host that the guest who came today is a winemaker and an entertainer at the same time, the butler thought that the "entertainer" in the host's mouth was the kind of person who often appeared on variety shows as a winemaker.

But after seeing Yang Li clearly, the butler realized that the other party might really be an entertainer, or the very popular one.

Because the manners and smiles of artists have been trained, ordinary people have no way to compare.

Yang Li and the translator girl just followed the housekeeper into the courtyard.

To be honest, if someone hadn't led the way, Yang Li really felt that he would get lost inside.

This Japanese style is too obvious, and each building has a similar style, which is no different from a maze.This scene is enough to make a movie directly.

"Master is here." The housekeeper brought Yang Li to a room, "He has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Excuse me." Yang Li thanked the housekeeper in not-so-fluent Japanese.

Master Gao Shan should be about 70 years old this year, but he still looks in good spirits, and his hands don't look like the hands of an old man, and they seem to be well maintained.

"Hello." Yang Li has always respected this kind of old man, especially the other party is a famous master in the wine making industry.

"Hello, please sit down." Master Gao Shan said with a smile.

Yang Li originally thought that he would sit on his knees like in Japanese TV dramas, but he didn't expect that the other party thoughtfully prepared a chair for him.

"Foreign young people are not used to our culture. We may have to talk for a long time, so for the sake of convenience, it is the most comfortable to sit." Master Gao Shan's attitude is very friendly, "This is what Mr. Yang brought. wine?"

"Don't call me Mr. Yang, just call me Yang Li." Yang Li shyly put his wine on the table, "I can't say it's very good, if there is anything wrong, please give me your advice. "

"I had a conversation with Mr. Weldon before." Master Gao Shan did not rush to drink, but chatted slowly with Yang Li, "He admired you very much and said that although your brewing skills are not at the top for the time being, Being able to place one's emotions on wine is already an amazing talent."

The translator girl translated Master Gao Shan's words truthfully, but Yang Li felt a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a feeling." Yang Li felt ashamed, "I wanted to give him the best gift at the time, but apart from making wine, I really couldn't come up with anything decent. Said To be honest, even now, I’m a little confused.”

"confused?"

"Yes." Yang Li scratched his head embarrassingly, "Probably the goal has almost been achieved, so I can't find anything new to do now. But there are too many praises from the outside world, and I feel very scared. I didn’t do many great things, I just did what I wanted to do, and everyone seemed to regard me as some kind of great person. Sometimes I also think, is it really good to be so smooth?”

After finishing speaking, Yang Li realized that he shouldn't have said these things: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao Shan, I seem to have said too many strange things."

Yang Li also wanted to say these words to Zheng Wushu, but because the distance was too close, he didn't know where to start.

Yang Li didn't want to become so dependent on Zheng Wushu.

Even if you are in a relationship and you have to go for a lifetime, you can't entrust everything about yourself to another person, which is also a burden for the other person.

If possible, Yang Li hoped that Zheng Wushu could rely on him a little more, instead of going to Zheng Wushu whenever he had something to do.

If you let yourself go on like this, there will be a day when both of you will be overwhelmed.

Yang Li has received too many compliments recently.

The success of the exchange meeting was beyond Yang Li's imagination, and the follow-up external media almost all had positive voices for this exchange meeting, and there were even special reporters from abroad to report the event.

As far as Yang Li knows, the next exchange meeting will become an international event, and it is said that some outstanding winemakers from Asian countries will be invited to come.We will not consider Europe and the United States until Asia is done, step by step.

Of course, the support provided by the government will become more, but it will not be too deeply involved.The government will be more willing to support rather than handle everything by itself. For professional issues like this, it is still necessary to let professional people do it.

After the next exchange meeting was confirmed, Yang Li received many, many invitations.

Those veterans who didn't have much idea about the exchange meeting, as well as those investors, are almost all interested in the next exchange meeting.

Some invited Yang Li to the reception, some invited Yang Li to his house as a guest, and some gave Yang Li expensive gifts. There is nothing Yang Li can't think of, only others can't do.

Finally, some critical voices disappeared without a trace after it was reported that "Half Century" Yang Li was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Tokyo Film Festival.

Yang Li was immediately promoted to the altar and became the "only one" entertainer in the entertainment circle, and his status quickly rose. Even the entertainment journalists in Hong Kong were polite to Yang Li, not as "bold" as before.

Yes, this feeling is good.

But Yang Li couldn't stand it after enjoying the atmosphere for just one day.

He did not organize the exchange meeting by himself, and the nomination of supporting actor also owes a lot to the director, but everyone seems to put these things on his head.

Yang Li felt panicked.

I feel like I'm wearing a crown that doesn't belong to me at all, and I don't know when it will crush me.

If you talk to Zhou Cheng, you will definitely be laughed at by Brother Zhou.

Yang Li has always been synonymous with thick nerves, when did he become so slender?

"No, there is no such thing." Master Gao Shan understood Yang Li's words very well, "I have had a similar time, but I was almost fifty when I thought this way, I didn't expect you to think about such things at such a young age. Generally speaking, young people your age are more confident and receptive to compliments."

But more people will lose themselves in this kind of praise from the outside world, and there are very few people who stay awake like Yang Li.

Gao Shan thought, he probably understood why Weldon was so happy to talk to him about Yang Li.

Probably for the current Huaxia winemaking industry, with young people like Yang Li, it is more feasible to re-develop it.

"Have you considered talking to your close people about these things?" Master Gao Shan asked back.

"Not yet." Yang Li shook his head, "I think this is my own problem, and I can't rely too much on others."

"Well, can I have a taste of your wine?"

"Of course." Yang Li immediately opened the Fengchun he brought.

I also poured a glass for the translation girl.

Master Gao Shan took a sip slowly, with a contented look on his face, Yang Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Great.

It seems that Master Alpine doesn't hate my wine.

"How about trying to talk to this person who you specially brew wine for?" Master Gao Shan said, "No matter how much I say about these things, it probably won't be as useful as someone else's one word."

"But I don't want to be too dependent..."

"Why can't you rely on it?" Master Gao Shan asked back, "Although it's easy for me to understand myself, sometimes I can't see clearly, but it's not as good as those close to me. Since you can brew such delicious wine for him, Why can't I be weaker in front of him? Even I, every time I brew wine, I will keep asking my wife, 'Is it really good?' 'What if it doesn't taste good' .”

Hey?

Is it possible?

In fact, there was a voice in Yang Li's heart that kept saying this, but it was always overwhelmed by other voices.

From a man's little self-esteem.

"At your age, it's easy to think too much. People often say that you stand at [-], which is not a lie. Because even if you are mentally mature, you are still young, and the thinking of young people is different from that of older people. Master Gao Shan looked at Yang Li with a smile, "Your wine is very beautiful, and I am looking forward to your next work."

When Yang Li returned to the hotel, he immediately saw Zheng Wushu sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Wu, Wushu, why are you here? I haven't received any news, Brother Zhou must have deliberately concealed it from me." Yang Li wondered if the surprise came a little too soon.

"Why, don't you welcome me?" Zheng Wushu asked back.

"No." Yang Li went up to give him a hug, and buried his head in Zheng Wushu's arms, "I was just thinking, how can you appear when I miss you so properly? Have you learned something? Mind reading or something?"

"If you really have the ability to read minds, I still don't want to know what you think about me." Zheng Wushou hugged Yang Li, "Even couples in love will think about some bad things. I hope I am in your heart It's flawless."

"Pfft, okay." Yang Li didn't know what to say, "I just came back from Mr. Gao Shan, and I want to tell you something."

Yang Li briefly talked about his conversation with Mr. Gao Shan and his recent troubles.

"Do you want me to tell the truth?" Zheng Wushu asked, resting his chin with one hand, and listening to Yang Li's words patiently.

"Of course, do I need to ask you if I'm telling lies?" Yang Li nodded firmly.

"To put it simply, you are just too busy." Zheng Wushu stretched out his hand and poked Yang Li's head, "Because you don't have much pressure now and can't find anything to do, so you're just thinking about it."

"Y-I can't say it's just wishful thinking." Yang Li sighed, "I just feel that I don't seem to work as hard as others think, but I can easily do things that others can't do."

"What's wrong with that?" Zheng Wushu shook his head and said, "You can do it because you want to do it. And from my point of view, you have already worked very hard."

"Is there?"

"Yes." Zheng Wushu was very sure, "At least in the matter of chasing me, you worked hard, I can see that."

Yang Li's face was a little red.

This... this can't be done without hard work.

"I also often think that I was born at a good time." Zheng Wushu continued, "If it was in those years when Hong Kong movies were prosperous, all kinds of top actors would gather together, I might not be able to achieve the same popularity status as I am now. .But I was born at a time when, to use the buzzword, 'no one can beat', that's why I'm held so high."

"In my opinion, you are really powerful, Wushu."

"Then you are the same in other people's eyes." Zheng Wushu took Yang Li's hand, "Don't be confused, and don't feel scared, you just encountered a little thing now, if the things between the two of us accidentally become public... ..."

"Don't say such a horrible thing!" Yang Li couldn't imagine what Zheng Wushu's fans with super fighting power would say about him!Moreover, the Hollywood commercial film that Zheng Wushu acted in was released overseas, and the quality and box office of the film were very good. Once it is released in China, Wushu will definitely gain a lot of fans again!

In other words, there are already many fans overseas.

"Don't worry." Zheng Wushu caressed Yang Li's face seriously, "I will always be with you, whether it's acting, making wine, setbacks, honors, or whether you go the wrong way , being praised so much that you can’t find Bei, I will be responsible for pulling you back.”

"Mr. Zheng, let me call you that again."

"Ok?"

"You really can't be rejected when you talk like that, you know? Do you want to try playing a teacher in your next movie?"

"Haha, I'll think about it."

Tokyo Film Festival.

Zheng Wushu also came to the awards show, um, as a special guest.

That commercial film will be screened simultaneously in various Asian countries, including Japan, and everyone is looking forward to its box office.

Yang Li occupied the position next to Zheng Wushu in an upright manner. He was quite confident and confident, and he was quite proud when facing the camera.

As for whether you can win an award, that is all irrelevant.

In other words, if he doesn't get the award now, Yang Li will be happier.Otherwise, when the time comes to tear up resources, it must be more vigorous than before.

No, I'm still a baby, and I don't want to bear so much for now.

"Best Supporting Actor, "Half a Century", Yang Li, congratulations."

Yang Li was stunned.

No way.

No no no no!

"Go up." Zheng Wushu gave Yang Li a hand, and they both stood up. He gave Yang Li a big hug and sent him to the stage, "Don't be nervous."

Before Yang Li came to the stage, he was in a daze.

Why is it really him?

But standing on the stage, he could see Zheng Wushu's expression clearly, and he gave Yang Li an "OK" from below.

Yang Li's heart instantly calmed down.

what.

He looked at the people in the audience, there were many people he knew, and there were also many people he didn't know.

Was it the first time you won an award at a film festival in a foreign country?

Was the stage really that big?Is the movie he acted in so powerful?

do not know.

Yang Li felt that he had never thought about it.

However, now that he has won this award, it means that on the road of actor, he has already started to move in the direction of Zheng Wushu.

When Yang Li received the trophy, he found that it was not as heavy as he imagined, but it was not light either.

After giving an award acceptance speech that he didn't remember, Yang Li's first thought after stepping down was - to have a drink with Mr. Zheng after returning home, and roll the sheets neatly to celebrate.

It's time to think about the recipe for the next self-brewing wine. Life always has to find some goals for yourself.

Yang Li sat down next to Zheng Wushu again, and said something softly while the camera was pointing at it.

"The next time I make wine, I will let you name it."

The author has something to say:
