Chapter 496 Gong Li
The flashing lights, the long red carpet, the luxury cars that can only be seen on TV, and the collective appearance of handsome men and beautiful women gathered a large number of people at the entrance of the film festival. Many people in the crowd held signs to support their idols.
It is said that the star-chasing in the future is crazy, but the degree of craziness of fans now is no less than that in the future. Every time a star gets out of the car, it will cause a burst of screams, which makes the security guards in front of the fans feel a lot of pressure. There were several times when they were almost broken by the crazy fans.
After entering the venue, the stars did not take their seats immediately, but gathered in groups of three or two to discuss in a low voice, and looked at the gate from time to time as if they were waiting for something.
When a Rolls-Royce stopped at the end of the red carpet, the people in the hall were startled. Then they saw a strange but extremely elegant young man getting out of the car, which surprised many people.
However, when the man bent down to help a woman out of the car, the scene suddenly broke out with cheers that seemed to overturn the sky.
This is their princess, the princess of South Korea, the last and most beautiful princess today. As for who the man with the princess' arm is? We'll discuss this later, let's cheer for the princess first.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Kaixuan, who was standing at the side of the hall and followed the people around him, asked when he saw that the heroine next to him looked a little strange.
"I'm not sure about the woman, but the man is my brother's friend." Gong Li hesitated and said.
In addition to Farewell My Concubine, Gong Li has also participated in many other movies in Hong Kong. Although she was not signed by Haina, she is friends with many Hong Kong artists. For example, in addition to cooperating with her brother Leslie Cheung, she also had a good relationship with Stephen Chow in "Flirting Scholar" released last year.
So the outside world may not know much about who is the boss behind Haina. But Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow must know, and after several collaborations, and Haina also has a movie with Lao Mouzi, she also knows a little about Yang Dongxu's identity.
"Friends of Leslie, Hong Kong people?" Cheng Kaixuan was stunned.
Judging from the current situation, these two people are definitely the absolute protagonists today. Even if they are not big bosses like the organizer, their identities are definitely not simple. So this surprised him a little. How could a foreigner appear as the finale in the Korean film industry?
"No, he is from the mainland." Gong Li said.
"The mainland?" Cheng Kaixuan's face was even more surprised. He has made a lot of movies in the past few years, especially after Farewell My Concubine swept major domestic and foreign awards in the past two years, the level of everything he has come into contact with has been greatly improved.
So now he is no longer the unknown director before. The people he can know and the capital he can get in touch with are not the best in the country, but at least in the upper class. But he, who has already spread out his network of contacts, didn't know this young man, which made him even more curious.
"That... It's a bit hard to say. If there is a chance later, I will go over to say hello and get to know him." Gong Li hesitated and still didn't explain Yang Dongxu's identity.
When filming with her brother or Stephen Chow, she often heard the two people admire Yang Dongxu while complaining that he was too lazy. She has more or less figured out Yang Dongxu's character after hearing so much.
This is a very low-key person who doesn't like to show off. His background and capital are definitely not simple. He belongs to the kind of big shark hidden in deep water. So it's better not to reveal his identity to the outside world casually.
Later, as a compatriot, I will go up to say hello. If he is willing to say it, then Director Cheng will know. If he is unwilling to say it, then don't say it yourself. Although she is now a relatively good star in the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan, with the power of Haina, if Yang Dongxu is angry that she is too talkative. Then her career will come to an end.
"It's hard to say." Seeing Gong Li hesitate, Cheng Kaixuan frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with Gong Li's concealment, but he didn't ask much. He guessed in his heart which family this young man in front of him was from, and his identity was so mysterious that he was qualified to appear as the finale guest of the Korean film industry.
"You have to be more restrained in the newspaper reports tomorrow. I don't want to be blocked from entering Korea in the future, saying that I kidnapped their princess." After entering the award ceremony hall, Yang Dongxu and Li Fuzhen sat down in the main seat in the front row. Yang Dongxu leaned close to Li Fuzhen's ear and teased.
In fact, it is nothing for Li Fuzhen to attend this kind of film festival as the finale guest, but it is a bit too high-profile to walk the red carpet with Yang Dongxu as a male companion. After all, her identity is very important in South Korea.
But Li Fuzhen may have been stimulated by her first love ex-boyfriend. Not only did she dress Yang Dongxu handsomely, but she also took her hand to walk the red carpet together, making his face feel stiff with laughter all the way.
"Are you sure you want to kidnap their princess?" Li Fuzhen's face suddenly turned red, and she said subconsciously, but she regretted it after she said it. The hint of this sentence is undoubtedly too obvious.
"What did you say?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment. After teasing Li Fuzhen just now, he turned his head to observe the people around him to see if there were any familiar faces in the future, and then let Haina sign it. In addition, there were too many people in the award hall and the sound was a bit noisy, so he didn't hear what Li Fuzhen said clearly.
"Nothing, I will pay attention to guide the newspaper report tomorrow." Li Fuzhen's face was straight, and the shyness on her face disappeared instantly, and she returned to her normal state. The temperament of a strong woman.
"That's good." Yang Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to search the crowd to see if there were any familiar faces.
Seeing Yang Dongxu actually breathed a sigh of relief, Li Fuzhen glared at him angrily and muttered something in Korean.
But when she saw Yang Dongxu turning his head to look around, she couldn't help but reach out and pat him: "Don't look around, you are sitting in the main seat now, it's a bit rude to chop around like this, many people are paying attention to you."
Yang Dongxu shrugged his shoulders. He didn't feel uncomfortable with no one paying attention to him. But it was a bit rude to look around like a curious baby, so he retracted his gaze.
But when the awards are presented later, the winning stars will go on stage to receive the awards. It's not too late to watch then, and I was sitting in the first row at that time and I could see it clearly.
At this time, the host had already come on stage, and after a very excited introduction and rendering, he received a lot of applause. Although Yang Dongxu didn't understand, he was still polite.
But it wasn't the award ceremony at the beginning, but a song and dance program first, and Yang Dongxu didn't feel much about the song. However, there were a few pretty girls wearing traditional costumes, but no familiar faces. This made him a little disappointed.
It must be said that Yang Dongxu was a bit of a pick-up artist at this time. He always wanted to see a few artists who would be familiar to him in the future, but who were not popular and no one paid attention to, and then let Haina sign and train them, so as to add bricks and tiles to his dominance of the Korean entertainment market in the future.
After the song and dance, the host came up and talked a lot, and then the award ceremony really came. Yang Dongxu didn't care what the first award was. Seeing that the star on the stage was not familiar, he began to wander around in a daze. When he heard someone applauding, he followed the applause and responded politely.
To be honest, although he was not interested in the film industry, he still felt it was quite strange for him to come here for the first time because he had never participated in it. But as time went by, this kind of strangeness became less and less, and he was neither a director nor an actor, so he would not look forward to the next award being his with trepidation, so he began to become extremely bored after he couldn't even find a familiar face.
There were various programs interspersed in the awards ceremony, and the host would talk a lot between each award ceremony to create an atmosphere. The entire awards ceremony lasted nearly three hours. If the awards ceremony was removed, it would be believed that this was a party.
Yang Dongxu finally finished and didn't want to stay for a moment. Even if he stayed in the hotel to read books, it would be more comfortable than keeping a stiff smile on his face.
"Don't go back to the hotel for now." Li Fuzhen said after seeing the awards ceremony.
"What's wrong?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, raised his wrist to check the time: "Isn't it too late to visit your father at this time?"
Although the awards ceremony started not late, it started at six o'clock in the evening. But after a series of links such as walking the red carpet, it is almost ten o'clock in the evening.
"Let's talk about visiting my father tomorrow. How can I let you go so late? There will be a cocktail party later. It's in the hotel next door. I will take you to meet some directors and actors."
"This is unnecessary. If they really have potential, wouldn't you just sign with BS?" Yang Dongxu was not interested at all.
"Besides them, there are many businessmen." Li Fuzhen said lightly.
"It's almost time, let's go now." Yang Dongxu is not interested in knowing actors and directors, especially Korean directors and actors now. But he is still very interested in Korean businessmen. After all, at this time, many Korean companies are indeed much stronger than the mainland. If they can bring back a few projects, they will make money.
"Can you not be so mercenary?" Li Fuzhen glared at Yang Dongxu unhappily.
This guy is really hateful. He always stares at things that are beneficial to him. He is too lazy to pull those things that are beneficial to Korea and harmless to him.
"Let's go. It's very rude to go late." Yang Dongxu said without blushing.
He ignored Li Fuzhen's angry eyes. He is Chinese, not Korean. He came all the way to Korea to make money. He can't even speak Korean. If he actively helps the development of the Korean entertainment industry and says that this is his own feelings, it is hypocritical.
"Hello, Mr. Yang." Just when Li Fuzhen was so angry that he wanted to pinch Yang Dongxu, Gong Li came over with him under Cheng Kaixuan's urging.
"Hello, Miss Gong, congratulations on winning the award." Yang Dongxu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Gong Li.
"These are all the credit of our director." Gong Li smiled modestly and turned sideways to let Cheng Kaixuan out: "This is the director of our award-winning film, Cheng Kaixuan, Director Cheng."
"I know, this is a great director who has brought glory to our countrymen, and he has long been well-known." Yang Dongxu smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand.
In fact, he was still a little embarrassed when facing Cheng Kaixuan, after all, Chen Hong was this guy's wife in the future. But now he is living with Ni Ping and can only be regarded as knowing Chen Hong at most, so Yang Dongxu is not poaching, and his mentality calmed down a lot when he thought of this.
