Chapter 549 Another Golden Horse Awards

Beijing International Airport.

"Are you back?"

"You've been very popular on the Internet recently."

"Those media paparazzi have followed you from Los Angeles to Hungary. Every day, there are leaked photos and videos about the set of "The Martian" circulating on the Internet."

"How strange. Although you were also very popular before, you were not so popular."

In the VIP room directly connected to the airport VIP channel, Liu Yifei received Wu Yuan, who was returning from Hungary and was exhausted. Her face was full of smiles.

Although she did not follow Wu Yuan to shoot "The Martian" during this period, she has been paying attention to the shooting of "The Martian".

She didn't even need to ask Wu Yuan in person, the media reporters had already followed and recorded the whole process.

Every day when the crew started work, when the actors arrived at the set and the studio, they would be captured by many paparazzi throughout the whole process, even if they were fully armed.

In addition to the paparazzi not being able to sneak into the closed studio shooting area on the set, other staff members were under the gaze of paparazzi cameras every day when they went to and from get off work.

Even what Wu Yuan and Matt Damon had for breakfast every morning and the specifications of the lunch delivered to the crew at noon were clearly recorded by these paparazzi and exposed on the Internet every day.

Well, there is a kind of morbid voyeuristic beauty.

No, this is no longer called voyeurism, it is open surveillance.

Liu Yifei didn't understand, but just thought that Wu Yuan's new movie was very popular and expected, so it was so popular.

Although she felt a little wrong, she was still very happy that her man was so popular and so popular in the international market.

However, Wu Yuan couldn't laugh.

The big capitalists in Hollywood were putting pressure on the acquisition of Light Era, but they kept it very secret, and no media reporter reported it.

It's funny to say that Wu Yuan has been very popular during this period, and Light Era's past resume has been put under a magnifying glass and observed and hyped, and any slight movement will be reported in the newspaper.

But the fact that some capitalists wanted to acquire Guangshidai was not noticed by any media reporter, and not a single word of it was spread.

It is self-evident who is behind the North American News Corporation.

Facing Liu Yifei's excited and proud expression, Wu Yuan did not want her to be too deeply involved in these business troubles and difficulties, and smiled nonchalantly: "Now you know the influence of me as an international director."

"Every move is watched."

"Actually, I don't want to do that either. I still like to keep a low profile, but my fame really doesn't allow me to keep a low profile."

"Well, you will be so proud of me if I praise you a few times." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and scolded, but she couldn't stop smiling.

It's not just because she is happy that Wu Yuan is getting attention from foreign fans and netizens, but also because she is happy for herself.

The reason why Wu Yuan returned to China in the middle of filming "The Martian" is naturally something big.

This year's Taiwan Golden Horse Awards is about to be held. He returned to China to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards with the crew of "Better Days".

Yes, Wu Yuan was also nominated.

Although he was not listed as the producer in "Better Days", his name was listed as the screenwriter of this movie.

And "Better Days" was shortlisted for the Best Original Screenplay Award at this year's Golden Horse Awards, and will compete with "A Simple Life", "Turning Point, Ashin" and "Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang" for this year's Best Original Screenplay Award.

Originally, if there was no "Better Days", the movie "The Piano in a Factory" should have been shortlisted for this award.

This year's Golden Horse Awards, the mainland movie "The Piano in a Factory" is the most eye-catching, and was shortlisted for many awards such as Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.

Except for the Best Feature Film, the nomination list for other awards can only have a maximum of four people.

After "Better Days" made a strong entry into this year's Golden Horse Awards, "The Piano in a Factory" had to be snatched away by "Better Days" for the Best Original Screenplay nomination.

As long as Wu Yuan signs up for the Golden Horse Awards, the Golden Horse Awards will nominate him. I really don't dare to exclude him from the nomination list.

The Golden Horse Awards gave Wu Yuan face, but it doesn't mean that Wu Yuan must accept this face.

If it weren't for this year's Golden Horse Awards, Liu Yifei was also nominated for the Best Actress Award. He would definitely not stop filming "The Martian" and run back to China just to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

You know, once the crew starts working, it will cost millions every day. Even if it stops for a few days, these costs are the same, because the equipment, studio rental, and staff salaries will not be waived just because you stop filming for a few days.

The money has already been paid out. Stopping for one day will waste one more day's money, which will eventually affect the postponement of the completion date. For a large crew like "The Martian", it will definitely lose hundreds of millions of yuan.

When filming Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Wu Yuan wanted to take a leave to attend the Cannes Film Festival. The producer Jerry was very reluctant to let him go because the crew would have to stop working for ten days and lose a lot of money. It was only when Wu Yuan said confidently that he would win an award that Jerry approved his leave.

Although The Martian is a movie produced by his own company and Wu Yuan does not need to rely on the producer, he is reluctant to take a leave just to attend the Golden Horse Awards. He would lose his own money!

But it is worth it to accompany Liu Yifei to attend the Golden Horse Awards.

Although Liu Yifei has been in the industry for many years, she has never won the Best Actress Award due to various coincidences.

When she filmed her first leading actress movie "Your Name", she was still a little immature to win the Best Actress Award. She won many Best Newcomer Awards with this movie.

Later, she filmed several Hollywood movies, but they were all supporting roles, between the second and the first female roles. Of course, she could not be sent to participate in the Best Actress competition.

Finally, she filmed another movie "Those Years" as a leading actress, but as a youth love movie, this movie really does not have much background to support her to launch a charge for the Best Actress Award. Neither the Golden Horse Awards nor the Golden Rooster Awards favored this movie.

Until now, "Better Days" has come out. Although this movie also has love elements, it is not a love movie. It is a semi-commercial and semi-literary movie involving social topics and quite profound. The intention is deep enough, the topic is strong enough, and the actors' acting skills are also excellent. This is the opportunity to really compete for the Best Actress Award.

To be frank, this is the first time that Liu Yifei has been so close to the Best Actress Award since her debut nearly ten years ago.

Wu Yuan, of course, had to return to China to accompany her to the award ceremony.

After dating for so many years, Liu Yifei always accompanied Wu Yuan when he competed for the Best Director Award at home or abroad, and watched him win the Best Film Award at Venice and the Best Director Award at the Golden Horse Awards.

Now, it was Wu Yuan's turn to accompany her.

Although, facing "A Simple Life", Liu Yifei's hope of winning the award was really slim. (End of this chapter)
