Chapter 718 I Want to Stand and Make Money!

After the shortlist was announced, it immediately became a hot search.

When fans saw that their idols were nominated, they also tried their best to promote them online.

In a hotel in Shanghai, Lin Shuo was using a small account to browse Weibo.

This time, he was selected for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actor. He had already won this award once, so it didn't matter.

Anyway, he has already established good relationships with the backstage, and a movie starring him will be released this year. Anyway, no matter how he performs, he must get a nomination for Best Actor.

As for whether he can get the Best Actor in the end, it depends on his strength.

Even if the Golden Dragon Award is divided again, it is impossible for an actor who performs very poorly to win the award.

Lin Shuo glanced at the shortlist and laughed out loud.

"The Best Actor was nominated, but the Best Film and Best Director were not nominated. It's what he deserves!"

Lin Shuo has always been unhappy with Xu Ye, and this time he finally saw Xu Ye fall.

The Best Film Award and the Best Director Award are also very important to Xu Ye. The former is a recognition of the movie, and the latter is a recognition of his identity as a director.

Obviously, the judges of the Golden Dragon Awards allowed Xu Ye to be nominated for Best Actor for the sake of the data, but they would not allow Xu Ye to be nominated for Best Film and Best Director.

Naturally, some people on the Internet asked why Xu Ye's film was not nominated for these two awards, and the Golden Dragon Awards officials quickly responded.

"The shortlist was carefully checked and selected by the 50 judges of the Golden Dragon Awards according to the selection rules. We have to consider many factors when selecting a film, and box office and voting are only one of them."

The official reply was a bunch of nonsense, as if it said everything, and it seemed to say nothing.

After seeing this result, the patients didn't care.

"A three-minute silence for the Golden Dragon Award!"

"The Huayin Award is still fresh in my mind, and I want to try the Golden Dragon Award as well."

"If it's not my friend, why do you bother him for no reason?"

"After doing this process, I really can't find any faults. It depends on whether the dean will go."

"I just want to watch the fun!"

Lin Shuo flipped through the online discussions and said disdainfully in his heart: "The film industry is different from the music industry!"

The film industry is complicated and the interests involved are not comparable to the music industry.

A song can be written by one person, but a movie involves multiple interest links from project establishment to final release.

Xu Ye can offend the Huayin Award, but he absolutely dare not offend the Golden Dragon Award!

He has to come to this awards ceremony even if he doesn't want to!

After all, Xu Ye is still a newcomer in the film industry.

The Golden Dragon Award jury's idea is also very simple. When the Golden Dragon Award was held before, Xu Ye came once, which can be regarded as a connection. You must come this second time.

After the shortlist was announced, the Golden Dragon Award sent Xu Ye an invitation to the film festival, and even posted a picture of the invitation on its official Weibo account.

The Golden Dragon Award has learned to be smart, and they are also afraid of making a mistake.

When Xu Ye received the invitation from the Golden Dragon Award, he received a call from Hu Jinping.

"Xu Ye, if you just say you won't go, I won't go either. This award is clearly a plan to divide the cake." Hu Jinping said angrily.

The general audience will not pay attention to some details in the awards, but just glance at who has been nominated for a single award.

Hu Jinping knows the tricks here, and his solution is also very simple. He puts all the awards out and marks the names of the movies.

Then you will find that the nominated movies are very evenly distributed, every movie has won an award, and most of the actors have won awards or nominations, and everyone is happy.

As for Xu Ye, he is likely to be a runner-up in the end.

What he said is also reasonable. The nomination for Best Actor is also an award, not that there is no award.

Among other awards, Xu Ye's film will most likely be given a separate award to balance it out.

If Xu Ye really wants to be awarded, there is no need to force the Best Film and Best Director awards.

Hu Jinping believes that Xu Ye can also see this point. Even if he doesn't see it, someone will tell Xu Ye.

Hu Jinping has encountered this kind of thing before, and he doesn't plan to go this time anyway.

However, Xu Ye said: "Go, why not?"

Hu Jinping was surprised: "Are you sure you want to go?"

"I can go alone, you don't have to go." Xu Ye smiled.

Hu Jinping immediately realized that Xu Ye was going to cause trouble.

Hu Jinping solemnly said: "Xu Ye, don't mess around. It's one thing if you don't go, but it's another thing if you go and make trouble."

Xu Ye asked back: "I'm not going to make trouble, I just want to have fun."

Hu Jinping couldn't persuade Xu Ye.

Xu Ye is a man who dares to do anything, but his opponents can't do anything to him.

Xu Ye also quickly responded to the Golden Dragon Award, saying that he would attend the Golden Dragon Film Festival.

In fact, his main purpose of going to the film festival was to look for actors at the film festival.

When this kind of film festival is held, a large number of actors will gather.

The last movie of the five-year plan needs a few hardcore acting talents to act, and Xu Ye also plans to go to the Golden Dragon Award to see if he can find the right candidates.

The Golden Dragon Award immediately announced the news on Weibo, and specifically mentioned Xu Ye.

With the previous experience of the Huayin Award, the Golden Dragon Award is still very cautious in this regard.

We invited you, and you said you were coming. If you don't come, it's your problem.

"I thought Xu Ye would learn from the Huayin Award and not come, but he came anyway."

"I've said it before, Xu Ye doesn't dare to offend the film industry! Don't dare to offend the Golden Dragon Award!"

"If you want to get involved in the circle, you have to abide by the rules of this circle!"

Some people have already discussed it online.

The patients in Huohua Hospital think there is something wrong here.

Something is wrong.

"Is it too smooth this time?"

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal."

"Dean, have you changed your personality?"

Some patients also commented on Xu Ye's Weibo, but Xu Ye did not respond.

The jury of the Golden Dragon Award was even more proud.

Although this time, no one else came, only Xu Ye came, which was considered a success.

Xu Ye had four films participating in the competition, which gave Xu Ye enough face. It didn't matter whether others came or not, as long as Xu Ye came.

Time soon arrived on the day of the Golden Dragon Film Festival.

Xu Ye also gave the crew two days off to let everyone rest, and he flew to the host city.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Golden Dragon Awards officially began and was broadcast live online.

When it came to the red carpet, Xu Ye, dressed in a suit and with a stern face, walked from the red carpet to the signature board, and the host handed him a pen.

Xu Ye took the pen and wrote a line of words "Xu Ye was here" on the signature board.

After signing, he didn't interact much and walked into the backstage.

In the live broadcast room, netizens were still quite surprised after seeing it.

"Is Xu Ye in a bad mood?"

"Is this still Xu Ye?"

"Don't mention it, Xu Ye still has the temperament of a cool male god."

After entering the backstage, Xu Ye took out the actor search card and started searching.

After searching the search card, only one male actor was found.

This actor is Zhou Kaiwen, who is in his fifties and has won two Golden Dragon Awards and two Wanhua Awards.

Zhou Kaiwen is now in a semi-retired state in the film industry and has not acted in a movie for many years.

Zhou Kaiwen basically comes to every Golden Dragon Award and Wanhua Award.

At his level, he is already a veteran in the film industry, and many activities in the film industry will actively invite him.

Xu Ye was not in a hurry to talk to Zhou Kaiwen.

Zhou Kaiwen has not made a movie for so many years, and it is definitely not something he can get done with a few words.

Xu Ye's method is also very simple. Just look at his character and read the script directly if possible.

He believes that his script will definitely impress Zhou Kaiwen.

Not long after, the Golden Dragon Award ceremony officially began.

Xu Ye's position was arranged among a group of actors, and on his right was the actor named Huang Chuchen.

At this time, Huang Chuchen was still a little nervous.

Sitting next to him is the youngest billion-dollar box office actor and billion-dollar box office director in the film industry.

He is also called a legal but sick star by everyone.

This person's martial arts value is still very high.

Huang Chuchen was really afraid that Xu Ye would do something to embarrass him.

At this time, Huang Chuchen saw Xu Ye take out a handful of melon seeds from his trouser pocket.

"Sure enough, Xu Ye likes to eat melon seeds during meetings." Huang Chuchen said in his heart.

As if noticing his gaze, Xu Ye handed over the melon seeds in his hand and said, "Do you want to eat?"

Huang Chuchen wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about it, he realized that his popularity was not as good as Xu Ye's. He could take this opportunity to take advantage of Xu Ye's popularity and let the team buy a hot search.

Huang Chuchen stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you."

Xu Ye poured all the melon seeds in his hand directly into Huang Chuchen's hand.

It was too late for Huang Chuchen to say no, as he had already poured them into his hand.

Xu Ye took out another handful of melon seeds at this time and started to eat them, and reminded him, "Don't throw the melon seed shells around."

Huang Chuchen had no choice but to pick up a melon seed and put it in his mouth and eat it.

However, when the melon seed entered his mouth, he noticed that the taste was a bit wrong.

Until he had eaten all the melon seeds, a sense of stimulation rushed straight to the top of his head.

"Xu Ye hurt me, these melon seeds are mustard-flavored!" Huang Chuchen thought to himself when he closed his eyes.

When he recovered, tears had already flowed out.

The mustard flavor of these melon seeds was obviously aggravated.

Huang Chuchen felt that Xu Ye was cheating him, but there was no evidence.

Because Xu Ye was eating melon seeds next to him and it was fragrant.

How come these mustard-flavored melon seeds are so fragrant?

Huang Chuchen didn't dare to ask or say anything. He couldn't eat the melon seeds in his hand, and he couldn't not eat them.

At this time, Xu Ye asked: "Why don't you eat them?"

The melon seeds in his hand were not mustard-flavored, but the five-spice melon seeds he took out from another pocket.

Huang Chuchen opened his mouth and picked up a melon seed and ate it.

For tomorrow's hot search, he endured it!

But after eating a few, Huang Chuchen couldn't stand it anymore.

He stuffed the melon seeds into his pocket and gave up completely.

The award ceremony was still going on.

As the awards were handed out one by one, there were some that were related to Xu Ye, but they were all small and insignificant awards. Xu Ye didn't win any of the big awards.

When it came to the individual awards, the best supporting actor and best supporting actress were actors from other movies.

The winner of Best Actor is Huang Chuchen.

For a moment, a string of question marks floated over the barrage in the live broadcast room.

"Is that correct? Xu Ye is not the best actor?"

"Huang Chuchen's performance in "Mountain Residence 207" was not as good as Xu Ye's, right?"

"Golden Dragon Award Cow, your skills in dividing cakes are getting better and better."

In the live broadcast room, some patients who came to watch the fun had already begun to complain.

When Huang Chuchen came on stage, his eyes were still a little red.

His fans thought he was excited, but Huang Chuchen understood that he was eating mustard-flavored melon seeds.

The red eyes were nothing but a minor matter. The problem was that his nose almost ran down, and he only said a few words in his final acceptance speech before quickly leaving the stage.

Huang Chuchen also understands that his award is a bit hot.

Later, another award was announced.

"The director who won this year's Directory Debut Award is Xu Ye!"

This time, the camera fell on Xu Ye's face, and the poster for "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance" also appeared on the big screen.

Many celebrities were looking at Xu Ye, trying to see something on Xu Ye's face, but unfortunately they couldn't.

Xu Ye's face was very calm.

He slowly walked to the stage and took the trophy.

After he received the trophy, the judges of the Golden Dragon Awards breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he can receive the trophy, it means that Xu Ye has recognized it.

This directorial debut award is a balanced award given to Xu Ye by these judges.

This award is not actually a recognition of Xu Ye's strength, it is just a worry about the bad influence online.

"It's meaningful enough to give him a directorial debut award!"

"Just for those comedy movies of his, it stands to reason that he won't get a single award!"

"We've been pretty good to him!"

These judges, who were invaded by capital, never felt that Xu Ye's film deserved to win the award.

If Xu Ye's movies hadn't had too high a box office and had too great an impact, they wouldn't even have planned to nominate Xu Ye.

At this time, Xu Ye stood in front of the microphone and said slowly: "Today's Golden Dragon Award Ceremony is a beautiful place."

Everyone in the audience smiled. Xu Ye was still very good.

However, the next second, Xu Ye said: "This kind of place is the best for shitting. The wind full of sweat smell blows on the buttocks, the colorful lights shine on the floor, and there are all kinds of spectators everywhere, which adds a bit more to this adventure. Peace of mind, after seeing the Golden Dragon Award, I felt like shitting freely on this stage.”

After finishing speaking, Xu Ye picked up the trophy in his hand and wiped it on the back of his butt, and then walked off the stage. However, he did not return to the audience, but walked to the trash can next to the venue and threw the trophy directly into it. In the trash can.

The entire venue fell into dead silence.

Everyone was shocked by Xu Ye's behavior.

To say that the Golden Dragon Award is suitable for shitting is just insulting!

Later, he wiped his butt with the trophy and threw the trophy into the trash can, which was a slap in the face to the judges of the Golden Dragon Awards.

A group of judges of the Golden Dragon Awards were stunned.

Everyone has one thing in mind, how dare you!

In the live broadcast room, the barrage was already boiling.

"The dean is so awesome, just confront him head-on!"

"I have something to announce. Standing in front of you is the star and director of the top-grossing movie in Chinese film history, the youngest director and star with a box office of tens of billions, a top-notch star in the entertainment industry, and a star with positive energy!"

"I knew the dean had bad intentions when he came today, but I didn't expect the dean to be more radical than I thought!"

"I'm convinced. The dean mocked others for being different. Why do you think this place is suitable for shitting?"

At the award ceremony, the process was quickly pushed forward.

Fortunately, the award ceremony has almost been held at this time, otherwise the awkward time would have been longer.

Xu Ye did not return to his seat after throwing away the trophy, but walked directly towards the exit.

When he walked to the exit, two Golden Dragon Award staff members raised their hands and stopped him.

The two staff members didn't know why they stopped Xu Ye. They just subconsciously felt that Xu Ye was openly at odds with the Golden Dragon Award at the scene, so they couldn't let Xu Ye leave just like that!

Xu Ye took out several red envelopes directly from his pocket and gave one to each of the two staff members.

The two workers were stunned.

Good guy, you carry red envelopes with you and bribe us in public!

The worker didn't say anything, but his hand that stopped Xu Ye had already been put down.

Xu Ye gave each of the security guards standing guard at the door a red envelope. After all the red envelopes in his hands were distributed, he left the venue directly.

After the Golden Dragon Award Ceremony, Xu Ye's performance at the Golden Dragon Award immediately became a hot topic and completely detonated the entertainment industry.

Too rigid, too hard!

The Golden Dragon Award even posted more than a dozen Weibo posts to denounce Xu Ye's behavior.

No matter what the entertainment industry says, the Internet is full of applause.

"I'm really impressed. Don't you deserve a prize for your kung fu?"

"Kung Fu not only has a high box office, but also has high artistic quality. If this award is not given to Kung Fu, I would be angry even if I was spared!"

"The Golden Dragon Award has long been unfair. It is no different from the toilet. You can indeed poop!"

The eyes of the masses are sharp.

When you arrange an award, you can give countless reasons to explain why you arranged this award, and you can think of ways to convince everyone and make everyone feel reasonable.

But the facts are the facts and that can never change.

In the hotel, Zhou Kaiwen was smoking a cigarette and watching the discussions online, feeling very happy.

He had already discovered the problem with the Golden Dragon Award, but he had a friend who was one of the organizers. He once owed a favor, and it was hard to say anything about many things.

Coming to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards every year is just a way of returning a favor.

He didn't like this environment very much, but he had no choice.

"Xu Ye is crazy? If I had achieved Xu Ye's level when I was young, I would be even fucking crazier than him!"

Zhou Kaiwen saw a netizen's comment and cursed.

At this time, his assistant came in and said: "Teacher Zhou, Xu Ye is looking for you."

Zhou Kaiwen was suddenly startled and sat up from the sofa.

He was already tall and burly, and when he stood up, he felt so oppressive that his assistant was startled.

"Let him in quickly." Zhou Kaiwen said.

Soon, Xu Ye walked in from the door.

The two of them said hello, and while shaking hands, Xu Ye checked with the character check sticker.

Zhou Kaiwen's character is 91. This character is definitely a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Kaiwen didn't have any airs. He crossed his legs, handed Xu Ye a cigarette, lit another one for himself, and said, "You are so awesome, I don't think it's enough. You should have just smashed the trophy!"

Xu Ye said directly: "Why didn't you say anything at that time?"

Zhou Kaiwen said angrily: "Who could have reacted to that situation at that time!"

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Ye discovered that Zhou Kaiwen's personality was quite free and easy.

After he explained his purpose, Zhou Kaiwen shook his head and said: "I no longer make movies. If you need actors, I will introduce them to you, but I can't act myself."

Xu Ye put the script on the table: "Teacher Zhou, please take a look at the script first."

Zhou Kaiwen thought for a while and said, "Let me take a look first."

Zhou Kaiwen was still a little tempted. After all, Xu Ye had a brilliant record and no one could get behind his performance.

But when he reaches this stage, he can't just shoot any script. He can only shoot if he likes the script.

But nowadays, there are almost no scripts that can impress him.

Zhou Kaiwen picked up the script, opened the cover, and saw the information inside.

His attention first fell on the movie title.

The name of the movie is "Let the Bullets Fly."

Just looking at the name, Zhou Kaiwen thought it was a crime film or a military film.

He opened the script and read it slowly.

As he looked at it, he noticed something was wrong.

The lines in this movie have a deeper meaning.

When he saw the conversation between Master and Zhang Mazi, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Ye.

"I wanted to stand and make money!"

Xu Ye just stood and made money.

If Xu Ye really accepted the Golden Dragon Award trophy, he would become a beggar on his knees.

"Knowing and doing are one."

Zhou Kaiwen sighed in his heart. He had put away the smile on his face and stopped smoking. Instead, he concentrated on reading the script.

When he saw the showdown between Zhang Mazi and Mr. Huang later, Zhou Kaiwen felt something different.

This movie is a comedy, and the lines have a profound meaning, but underneath this profound meaning, there seems to be another metaphor hidden.

He is older and knows a little more about things, and because of this, he finds this movie even more terrifying.

Zhou Kaiwen read the script in one sitting, and he had just one idea in his mind.

"You fucking call this a comedy!"

He looked at Xu Ye who was waiting aside, and then he was stunned.

Xu Ye was looking at the table. There was a small hotel tea bag on the table. The bag was torn open and the tea leaves inside were picked out one by one and placed neatly on the table.

Zhou Kaiwen suddenly couldn't hold himself any longer.

There is something really wrong with you!

If you're fine, just count the tea leaves and play!

Zhou Kaiwen was really convinced.

He asked: "How many were counted?"

Xu Ye said: "I won't tell you. I want to know and you can count it yourself."

Zhou Kaiwen was speechless for a moment.

He decided not to continue on this topic. He could never defeat Xu Ye on this topic.

He put down the script and asked, "Are you the director of this movie?"

Xu Ye nodded.

Zhou Kaiwen said directly: "Okay, I will act!"
