Chapter 552 The Golden Horse Awards Begins

The crew of "Better Days" arrived in Taipei at noon on November 25.

They were not given much time to rest and adjust. After meeting with other familiar crews from the mainland in the hotel in the afternoon, everyone went to Hsinchu City on Taiwan Island together.

The Golden Horse Awards, like the Golden Rooster Awards, are not limited to being held in one place, but are held in different cities on the island every year.

However, compared with the vast territory of the mainland, the small island of Taiwan is still very easy to transfer. That night, all the crews from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong who came to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards stayed in the largest luxury hotel in Hsinchu.

In the evening, Wu Yuan also leisurely took Liu Yifei to the night market in Hsinchu and ate some so-called Taiwanese snacks and delicacies.

Of course, inevitably, the two of them also attracted the attention of many local passers-by when they went out on the street.

Wu Yuan may be relatively unknown in Taiwan. The general public in Taiwan knows his reputation, but they don't know what he looks like. Even if he doesn't disguise himself, it's hard to recognize him.

But Liu Yifei is different. Liu Yifei is also very famous in Taiwan.

Fairy sister is not kidding.

Whether it is "The Return of the Condor Heroes" or "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", they were very popular TV series in Taiwan at that time. After all, Mr. Jin Yong has a great influence in Taiwan, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a game made in Taiwan.

In addition, "Your Name" and "Those Years" also triggered a movie-watching craze in Taiwan. These two movies are movies that shocked Asia. They even sold the remake rights in Japan and South Korea, and released Korean and Japanese remakes.

"Those Years" also has a remake version in Taiwan.

Liu Yifei, the heroine, is definitely a household goddess in Taiwan.

Even if she made a simple disguise when going out, she was easily recognized as soon as she went out on the street.

As soon as the two appeared at the night market, a lot of street photos and videos of the two were released on the Internet, and there was even a video of Wu Yuan feeding Liu Yifei fish balls.

[Asian goddess Liu Yifei arrived in Taiwan with a strong momentum, aiming for the Golden Horse Award! ]

[The most competitive Golden Horse Best Actress Award in history, Shu Qi, Deanie Yip, Qin Hailu, Liu Yifei, who will win? ]

That night, the two occupied the front page cover of local entertainment news in Taiwan.

In recent years, the entertainment industry in Taiwan has gradually begun to decline.

Back then, in the first decade of the millennium, starting with Meteor Garden F4, Taiwanese actors can be said to have swept the entire Greater China region and even Southeast Asia.

At that time, actors from Taiwan and Hong Kong almost occupied the ecological upper zone of Chinese actors.

When shooting TV series in the mainland, there are unwritten rules. One of the male and female protagonists must be an actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan to carry the ratings.

Why was "Legend of Sword and Fairy" said to be the most daring TV series back then? It was because this TV series not only boldly used newcomers, but also the male and female protagonists were both mainland actors.

However, even so, apart from the two of them, most of the remaining leading actors were Taiwanese actors, from Tang Yu Xiaobao to Lin Yueru, Liu Jinyuan, Anu, Jiu Jianxian, Baiyue Jiaozhu and other roles, the actors were either from Taiwan or Hong Kong.

Among the mainland actors, only Sun Li played Zhao Linger's mother, and Jiang Xin played Jiang Waner.

At that time, the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan looked down on the mainland entertainment circle. Whether it was a movie or a TV series, their actors had to be used as the male and female protagonists to carry the ratings and box office.

But things change. With the growth and explosion of the mainland entertainment industry in the past ten years, the mainland entertainment industry has become more and more powerful. Both the film and TV drama industries have gradually become independent, getting rid of the influence of the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry and walking their own path.

Although the current Taiwanese actors can still occupy the top of the ecological chain of a part of the idol drama market, it is undeniable that their influence has become less and less, and there are no younger generations worthy of praise to take over.

Both Taiwan and Hong Kong have fallen into an embarrassing situation of a lack of successors. After all, the combined population of these two places is less than 50 million, which is inherently insufficient.

Therefore, even if they tried their best to find ways to save and resist the expansion of domestic entertainment, when Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei arrived in Taiwan, these two world-class directors and actors still attracted the attention of all the media on the island like a crushing blow.

Those big directors and well-known actors on the island who were praised by the island had no ability to compete for the pages in front of them.

Even if Wu Yuan was photographed sneezing on the street, he would make the headlines. However, apart from the master director Wei Desheng, no one else in the local Taiwanese crews of "Turning Point" and "Seediq Bale" who also participated in this year's Golden Horse Awards could get any attention.

"Since the handsome Jin began to reduce production and semi-retire, there has been no new generation of filmmakers in Taiwan who can stand up and lead the Taiwanese film industry."

In the hotel, Wu Yuan happily complained while looking at the photos of himself and Liu Yifei visiting the night market last night in the major entertainment newspapers delivered this morning.

Although the handsome Jin is of Japanese nationality, he has always been regarded as an actor from the Taiwanese film and television industry. In fact, he did make his debut in Taiwan.

However, after filming "Wuxia", Jin Dashuai began to reduce production and stop acting. If nothing unexpected happens, he will not appear again until "The Crossing" in 2014.

But "The Crossing" is also a terrible movie.

After filming "The Crossing", the era of Jin Dashuai is completely over.

Originally, Taiwan was planning to launch Ruan Jingtian, "Taiwan's last movie emperor", to be the leader of Taiwan's film and television industry.

Unfortunately, "Fated to Love You" was stolen by Wu Yuan in this life, and Ruan Jingtian lost the opportunity to become a hit in the mainland.

And because Wu Yuan insisted on using mainland actors as the protagonists and proved that mainland actors can also carry the box office, Taiwan wanted to promote a newcomer like Ruan Jingtian to the position of the male lead in a blockbuster, which is no longer as easy as in the original time and space.

At least the 3D movie "The Guillotines" produced by Chen Kexin and with Huang Xiaoming and Li Yuchun as supporting roles for Ruan Jingtian is gone.

In this co-production between Hong Kong and the mainland, the mainland investment company was extremely reluctant to let Ruan Jingtian, a newcomer from Taiwan, take the lead, and even threatened to cancel the cooperation.

In the end, the Hong Kong production company took a step back and let Huang Xiaoming play the male lead and Ruan Jingtian play the male second villain. The two swapped roles, which satisfied the mainland production company.

This can be regarded as the change in the backbone brought by Wu Yuan's appearance to the domestic entertainment industry. When cooperating with Hong Kong and Taiwan, the mainland production company has become much tougher and dares to fight for its due interests and status.

"Brother, stop reading the newspaper and change into a dress quickly. We should set off for the award ceremony."

At this time, Liu Yifei's voice came from outside the door. Liu Yifei, who changed into a luxurious light yellow tulle dress, wore Burberry jewelry around her neck and a Tissot watch on her hand, and walked into the bedroom.

Wu Yuan smiled and nodded, put down the newspaper in his hand, went into the cloakroom, and changed into a custom suit prepared for him in advance by the brand sponsor.

This is a set of LV high-end suits, which are also carefully prepared, low-key yet luxurious.

Soon, he took care of his clothes, and with the help of Liu Yifei, he adjusted his tie, then took her arm, met with other main creators of the "Better Days" crew in the corridor, went downstairs and got on two courtesy cars to the Hsinchu Cultural Bureau Performance Hall.

The 48th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards was held here.

Taiwan Television Company, Astro AEC, and Sina Video will broadcast the live broadcast. (End of this chapter)
