In the Chinese film industry, there are three gold medals: the Golden Rooster, the Golden Horse and the Academy Awards, which are also known as the three highest achievements in Chinese films. But if we talk about competition, there is no doubt that the Golden Horse Award is the well-deserved boss.

In the early days, neither mainland China nor Hong Kong Island had similar awards for audio-visual product competitions. The Golden Horse Awards, established in 1962, have directly become the most high-profile film event in the Chinese area. After opening to the mainland a few years ago, its influence has grown.

This time Wu Yuchen came over, and the organizer of the Golden Horse Awards also sent someone to pick him up. He is an international director!

In the car, Wu Yuchen listened to the driver and pick-up candidates vigorously introducing Wanwan to him, while he looked at the scenery along the way.

Director Wu, this subway was just opened in Wanwan the year before last. Isn't it beautiful?

Oh, not bad. Wu Yuchen looked at the driver a little strangely. What could he recommend about a subway?

Director Wu, this is our first subway in Wanwan, the driver said in a show-off manner.

“The first subway?!”

These words really shocked Wu Yuchen. Wanwan has always been known as the Four Asian Tigers and is listed as an economically developed area. But the first subway was just opened the year before last?

Yes, let me tell you, the Alliance Party is really slow in doing things. It took 8 years to repair a subway, and the neon lights are still amazing. I took my family to travel to neon lights the year before last. It was really super prosperous there!

The driver said, and then suddenly asked Wu Yuchen: I wonder if the mainland can only take buses now?

It can be seen that the driver did not mean to show off when he said this. After all, in the eyes of most Bayan people, the impression of mainland China is that of poverty and backwardness.

Our capital had a subway 30 years ago. Wu Yuchen said lightly.

30 years ago?! The driver turned to look at Wu Yuchen in disbelief.

Wu Yuchen hurriedly pointed ahead and signaled him to drive well.

Wu Yuchen's words made the driver less interested in chatting, and he drove with his head down for the rest of the road.

In the hotel room, when Li Xiaoran saw Wu Yuchen, she threw herself into his arms, wrapped her legs around his waist, kissed him deeply, and then asked with a smile: Have you missed me~

Think about it, think about it every day! Think about it every night! Wu Yuchen said, holding her butt like a big doll.

Li Xiaoran had already been here in Wanwan because Peerless Two Prouds was released in Wanwan a while ago. As for Fu Dalong, he didn't come because he was filming with another crew and he wasn't nominated.

Wu Yuchen asked with a smile: You have been here for so long, take me for a walk when the time comes. This is my first time back to Wanwan.

Okay! But don't have your hopes too high. I used to think that Wanwan is so prosperous, but I didn't expect that most of the houses are short and dilapidated. They are no better than us. But there are quite a lot of snacks here. Special, I will take you to eat delicious food then! Li Xiaoran said with a crooked eyebrow and blinked.

Wu Yuchen also discovered on the way here that the level of infrastructure in Wanwan is indeed not good, and it is not worthy of the level of the Four Asian Tigers. It is no wonder that people on Hong Kong Island look down on Wanwan people and regard Wanwan as a country bumpkin.

At present, among the three places across the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong Island is definitely the most prosperous, and Wanwan is slightly ahead of the mainland. But let alone 10 years, the infrastructure level of many mainland capital cities will catch up with Wanwan in 5 years, and 20 years from now If you travel to Wanwan again, you will feel like you are visiting a third-tier small city.

Wu Yuchen was taken by Li Xiaoran to eat, drink and play for two days. He found that it was one thing that the infrastructure here was not good. In other aspects, the educational resources, medical resources and other aspects of Baywan were pretty good, and prices were not too expensive compared to wages. , the overall happiness index is quite high, and the overall pace of life is not too fast.

Of course, in the past two days, Wu Yuchen has also paid attention to a lot of information about the upcoming 35th Golden Horse Awards. At this Golden Horse Awards, there are five films with the most nominations and the most attention.

On the red carpet, Hou Hsiao-hsien took the lead, followed by the pair of Tony Leung and Carina Lau, as well as the beautifully dressed beauty Li Jiaxin, which aroused bursts of cheers from both sides of the red carpet. Flowers of the Sea is directed by a great local director from Wanwan and has a luxurious cast, so it naturally attracted much attention.

Later, milk tea girl Liu Ruoying was seen walking on the red carpet among the crew of Marriage Announcement, showing a sweet and milky smile to greet the audience on both sides. This local film in Bay Area was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, etc. Nominations are also popular.

Then there is the Hong Kong movie City of Glass. The husband-and-wife team of Wanting Zhang and Luo Qirui, especially the leading actor Li Ming, caused a lot of girls to scream as soon as they walked on the red carpet.

Li Xiaoran couldn't help but said to Wu Yuchen: Ling Ming, you are so handsome!

Wu Yuchen looked towards Li Ming. He was dressed in a white suit and looked like a handsome young man. His slight smile was really charming. The most handsome one is Li Ming!

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, in terms of appearance alone, the other three are indeed not as good as Lai Ming. Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok are both on the shorter side, and Lai Lai is the best in height and appearance.

Wu Yuchen looked at Shu Qi, who was holding arms with Li Ming. Although he tried his best to greet the audience with a bright smile, people on both sides of the red carpet ignored her.

Now these movie fans, as well as Li Ming's fans, never thought that Li Ming would fall in love with Shu Qi, because they are completely unworthy! How could a person with a background in acting in Category III movies be worthy of our brother!

They only thought that the relationship between the two heroes and heroines in the movie City of Glass would lead to Li Ming holding Shu Qi's arm.

After City of Glass, the crew of Tianba walked on the red carpet, led by Chen Chong. She won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in 1994 with Red Rose and White Rose, and she is still somewhat famous. . But this time she walked on the red carpet as a director, and the real heroine was Li Xiaolu beside her, who was a little timid at this time.

She didn't think she would win the award before she came. After receiving a call from Chen Chong, she bought two sets of clothes from the carpet on Xiushui Street in Beijing and came wearing a baseball cap. She just wanted to see the world, but Chen Chong couldn't stand it and gave it to her. Purchased a new dress.

Everyone should know the movie Tianba, Yan Geling's scar literature, which tells the story of a female educated youth who repeatedly exchanged her body for the opportunity to return to the city, and finally committed suicide. These days, all the major film festivals are following this trend, so even though it is a new director and actor, it has a high reputation for winning awards and has been nominated for many awards.

Wu Yuchen looked at the crew of Tianba who were walking on the red carpet and the fans' response was not very enthusiastic. In his past life, this movie was the big winner this year, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, almost He swept this year’s awards.

But this time, with him, Wu Yuchen, involved, the results may be very different. When Wu Yuchen walked onto the red carpet with Li Xiaoran on his arm, warm cheers immediately erupted from both sides.

At this time, the red carpet host of the Golden Horse Awards, Ren Xianqi, said into the microphone:

Wow, the person walking on the red carpet now is amazing. He is our Chinese international director Wu Yuchen!

Ren Xianqi worked as a host in the early days. He was the host of the red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards Avenue of Stars in 1996, and he was invited again this year.

The female host next to her also cooperated and introduced: The films made by our director Wu Yuchen are all very popular. They have not only won international awards, but are also widely sought after in Europe and the United States! His Black Hole Frequency and Sniper Phone Booth It has exceeded 100 million in the United States one after another, which is very, very impressive!

Last year, Run Lola Run helped Wu Yuchen win the Berlin Best Director and the Jury Prize. It caused quite a stir in the world of film circles as soon as it was released. Young people are very fond of this movie, and many movie lovers They also watched it many times to learn and observe the filming techniques of the movie.

Then as Wu Yuchen became famous in the United States, and now If Love Is God's Will is still hanging in the Wanwan Cinema, movie fans naturally gave Wu Yuchen the warmest welcome!

Wow, Director Wu is so handsome in person, even better than in the photos!

So talented and handsome, I will be Wu Yuchen's die-hard fan from now on!

Wu Yuchen, I love you!

Lola! Li Xiaoran!

Director Wu, Xiaoran, look over here!

Reporters on both sides of the red carpet kept taking photos of the two people walking on the red carpet.

Wu Yuchen has even participated in the Oscars, and Li Xiaoran has also participated in the Berlin Film Festival. It is easy to deal with it. He walks neither fast nor slow, greets both sides of the red carpet appropriately, and Li Xiaoran will pause at the right time to cooperate. Let the media take some photos.

After the two approached, Ren Xianqi and his female partner came over and said, Director Wu, Xiao Ran, welcome to the Golden Horse Awards! This is the first time for you two to attend our Golden Horse Awards. How do you feel?

Wu Yuchen smiled: Taipei is a very beautiful city, the citizens are very enthusiastic, and the Golden Horse Awards are also very open~

Li Xiaoran smiled cutely and added: The scenery here is very good, and the snacks are also delicious~

The female host asked: Director Wu, I saw media reports that you were working with the big star Bruce Willis in the United States. Can you tell us about your new movie?

Wu Yuchen laughed and said: This is a warm movie about communication between people.

The female host immediately asked: So you have worked with such big stars as Stallone, Leonardo and Bruce Willis. Do you have any different feelings?

Obviously, she knows what the audience in front of the TV wants to see.

Wu Yuchen said calmly: There is no difference. They are just like the actors I have worked with, they are all good actors.

Ren Xianqi saw that Wu Yuchen didn't want to say more about this, so he smiled and said: Thank you, Director Wu and Xiaoran!

After entering the venue, people kept saying hello or nodding to Wu Yuchen. Many people wanted to make friends with this fast-rising director who can make both literary and commercial films.

The red carpet host outside is Ren Xianqi, and the award stage host is also familiar, the current variety show king Wu Zongxian.

Welcome everyone to the 35th Golden Horse Awards, where stars gather today...

Wu Yuchen smiled and looked at Wu Zongxian, who was always humorous and funny on the stage. He had a few brushes, which made the atmosphere very relaxed. But what he was more interested in was whether his assistant Jay Chou came with him at this time. Go backstage.

The Golden Horse Awards are actually modeled after the Oscars, so naturally the awards process is similar. First, a slightly more important award for Best Supporting Actor or Best Supporting Actress will be given to arouse everyone's attention.

Best Supporting Actress...The Thirteen Sisters of Hongxing, Shu Qi!

At the moment of the announcement, Shu Qi was so surprised that she covered her big mouth. When she went on stage to receive the award, she was already crying. She was born in a Category III film. In the past two years, she has successively won the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards for Supporting Actress, which made her I have truly entered the mainstream, been recognized by mainstream awards, and my identity has changed, and I can't help but be excited.

Seeing her crying non-stop, Liang Jiahui, who presented her with the award, thoughtfully handed her a handkerchief. Shu Qi then kept the handkerchief for 7 years. In 2005, she won the Golden Horse Award and even took it out to thank Liang Jiahui.

Wu Yuchen admired Shu Qi when he looked at her. It is indeed inspiring from experience, but it would be wrong to think that the clothes he took off with this award can be put back on again. He has had several boyfriends in succession, including the parents of Li Ming, Wang Leehom and Zhang Zhen. All were met with strong opposition and ended in nothing.

Although many people think she is a bit ugly, the fact that she can win male idols one after another shows that Shu Qi is quite attractive. And there is a saying that is widely circulated in Hong Kong: Shu Qi’s mouth, Wan Qiwen’s legs.

The following technical awards such as Best Music and Best Art were also divided among several popular movies.

Best Editing...Run Lola Run, Justin Wu!

Suddenly, the audience burst into warm applause, and Wu Yuchen also stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face.

One of the most praised highlights of the movie Run Lola Run is its unconventional editing technique. This best editing is undoubtedly the best.

Congratulations, Director Wu! The award presenter handed the award to Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen smiled and thanked him, and then said: I came to the Golden Horse Awards today because I specially prepared my lines!

Everyone in the audience focused their attention on Wu Yuchen, wanting to see what speech of thanks he had prepared.

But I won't say it now. I will wait until I get the award later to say it!

Everyone in the audience was stunned by Wu Yuchen's turn, and then they all laughed again.

It seems that Director Wu is very confident in himself, so let's give Director Wu another round of applause! After Wu Zongxian finished speaking, everyone else laughed and applauded.

After Wu Yuchen walked off the stage, Li Xiaoran asked curiously: What speech did you prepare?

Wu Yuchen didn't look sideways and said with a soft smile: I'm not prepared!

Best Cinematography for City of Glass, Best Supporting Actor for The Happier, More Depraved by Eric Tsang, Best Adapted Screenplay for Tianba...

Finally, when it came to the Best Actress award, Li Xiaoran next to Wu Yuchen suddenly became nervous.

There are only four Best Actor and Best Actress nominees for the Golden Horse Awards. In addition to Li Xiaoran, the other three are Li Xiaolu from Tianba, milk tea girl Liu Ruoying from The Marriage Announcement, and Sandra Ng from The Thirteen Sisters.

Among the four candidates this time, except for Sandra Ng, the other three are not experienced in the film industry. Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaolu can even be said to be newcomers, so Sandra Ng is considered to be the most likely to win.

Under Sandra Ng's expectant eyes, the award-giving guest on the stage took out the note in the envelope:

This year's Golden Horse Awards, the best actress is...

As a result, the old actor on the stage suddenly took out his glasses from his pocket: Sorry, wait a minute, I can't see clearly with presbyopia!

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and the camera was focused on several candidates. Among them, Liu Ruoying took deep breaths repeatedly. At this time, Wu Sandra did not look like the comedian in the past, and kept staring at the stage. Wu Yuchen also felt Li Xiaoran's nervousness and gently squeezed Li Xiaoran's hand under the seat.

After the old actor put on his reading glasses, he held up the note again and said loudly:

Best Actress...Run Lola Run, Li Xiaoran!

Ahhhhhhh! Li Xiaoran screamed excitedly, and then hugged Wu Yuchen beside him excitedly.

Wu Yuchen is also happy for her. After all, this is currently the most influential Golden Horse in Chinese. Winning the Golden Horse Best Actress will be enough for her to brag for a lifetime!

At this time, the camera also showed the other three women who were unsuccessful. Sandra Ng squeezed a forced smile on her face, and then applauded; Liu Ruoying did not hide it, looking disappointed; and Li Xiaolu did not react much, and smiled and gave Li Xiaoran a gift. She received applause. After all, she had no hope of winning the award and had no idea what she was missing.

Wu Yuchen patted Li Xiaoran on the back and said: Sister Ran Ran, it's okay, don't hold me all the time, the live broadcast is going on~

Li Xiaoran also reacted and quickly let go of Wu Yuchen, then hugged the person on the other side and walked onto the podium with a bright smile on his face.

Thank you to the Golden Horse Awards for recognizing me, and thank you to director Wu Yuchen for teaching me a lot in all aspects...

Wu Yuchen was sitting below, listening to the all aspects she said. He didn't know if she meant anything, but looking at Li Xiaoran's smiling face on the stage, he must have been overthinking it.

It's not surprising that Run Lola Run won the best actress this time. This movie itself is a movie with a female protagonist, and it is also a feminist movie. It has become one of the representative movies for independent women. In addition, Li Xiaoran played a brilliant role in it. Eyes, naturally received a lot of votes.

Best Actor...Heavenly Bath, Lausanne Qunpei!

Hearing this result, the three Hong Kong actors, Lai Lai, Wong Ai Sang and Tony Leung Chiu Wai, were all disappointed. Among them, Lai Lai was the most eager to win this award. He wanted to prove that he was not only an idol, but also a capable person, but he has not received the award now. You can't show disappointment yet, after all, the character needs to be tight.

Then came the Best Director, and the TV screen showed 4 candidates at the same time, Hou Hsiao-hsien of Flowers of the Sea, Chen Chong of Tianba, Zhang Wanting of City of Glass and Wu Yuchen who smiled lightly.

It's not that Wu Yuchen isn't nervous. The atmosphere has been heightened to this point, and he definitely still wants to win the award in his heart. The current Golden Horse is still quite good. However, after he has experienced many big scenes, he behaves more relaxedly.

The guest presenting the award this time was an old acquaintance of Wu Yuchen, Li An, who had just approached him to solicit investment not long ago.

I am honored to be the presenter to present the Best Director Award this time. The nominees this time are my seniors and my friends, who have inspired and helped me in film. They are all very good directors. It's really It’s hard to decide.”

However, Li An still took out the note from the envelope: Best Director...

Li An raised his head and showed a smile:

Run Laura Run, Justin Wu!

Wu Yuchen, in Run Lola Run, challenged tradition in terms of narrative, composition, casting, and editing, and made groundbreaking contributions to Chinese films and even world films! The official award-winning narration sounded in the hall.

Suddenly, the whole audience burst into warm applause, and Wu Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief. He had won the Berlin Best Director before, but this time he acted more calmly and hugged Li Xiaoran. After a moment, he shook hands with the congratulatory people around him and then walked up to the podium.

After he came on stage, Li An also smiled and congratulated, and then said:

Director Wu, the people in front of me were either so excited that they burst into tears or looked very nervous when they received the award. It was my first time to wait on the podium and I was also very nervous. I see that you look very chic. Don’t you have any good experience to pass on to everyone?”

Unexpectedly, Wu Yuchen didn't give his acceptance speech after taking the stage. Li An, an old boy, asked him such a question, but his mind was spinning rapidly and he said calmly:

Director Li, I'm actually very nervous too, but I think it's normal to be nervous when facing such an important award. What's difficult is to overcome the nervousness, not to act nervous, and to reciprocate when others win. Smiling congratulations.”

Hearing Wu Yuchen's words, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Chen Chong and Zhang Wanting, who did not win the award, laughed and clapped. Other audience members also applauded and congratulated Wu Yuchen again.

Li An stopped joking with Wu Yuchen and said, Director Wu, you just said you had prepared the lines, can you show them now?

Wu Yuchen held the trophy and said to the audience:

I want to share this award with everyone who worked together to produce Lola Run. Thank you for creating an incredible story with me. Thank you Li Xiaoran for your wonderful performance and bringing you a dream journey of Lola. Thanks to Fu Dalong, Ni Dahong, Luo Jiaying, Zhang Jiahui... these actors, you are all part of Laura's life! Thanks to Yindu Pictures and Beijing Film Studio. Without your support and help, it would be difficult for me to complete this film. Thanks to the jury !

Finally, I have just started on the road to film!

After speaking, Wu Yuchen raised the trophy in his hand. Li An, who was beside him, looked at Wu Yuchen and couldn't help but applaud. Naturally, there was also cheers from below.

After Wu Yuchen stepped off the stage, he estimated that the next two awards might have nothing to do with him. This time he had already taken away two awards from Tianyu, and it was impossible to collect all its awards.

Sure enough, the next jury was won by Hou Hsiao-hsien's Flowers of the Sea, and the best film was finally awarded to Heavenly Bath.

Wu Yuchen looked at Chen Chong standing on the podium beaming with joy, becoming the biggest winner with Best Film and Best Actor.

He is not disappointed. He failed to win Run Lola Run. He will come back next year with Donkey Gets Water to conquer this golden horse!
