Chapter 553: Shining at the Golden Horse Awards (Part 1)

Outside the Hsinchu Cultural Bureau Performance Hall, the red carpet has already been laid out.

Taiwan hosts Yang Qianpei and Lin Yuzhi are at the end of the red carpet of the Avenue of Stars, holding microphones to host the live broadcast for the media reporters and TV stations, introducing each group of guests.

Before that, the crews of movies such as "Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang", "The Piano in a Factory", "Knife of Laughter", "Turning Point! Ashin", "The Best", and "No Longer Alone" have already arrived, and they caused quite a stir when they walked on the red carpet.

However, the real heavyweight crews are still to come.

The crew of "A Simple Life" returned from Venice, the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" with three movie emperors, the crew of "Seediq Bale", the best movie of this year in Taiwan, and the crew of "Better Days", which is temporarily ranked first in the box office of Chinese films this year, are more star-studded than the other.

When Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei's hand and appeared on stage with Li Yang, Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi, Yuan Hong and Sun Honglei, the cheers at the scene reached the peak.

Don't get me wrong, we are not cheering for Wu Yuan, but for Liu Yifei.

Wu Yuan, who had not come to Taiwan with Liu Yifei to attend the Golden Horse Awards for a long time, deeply felt how popular Liu Yifei has been in Taiwan in recent years.

If Liu Yifei, whose works were only "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Your Name" in those days, was more famous in Taiwan because of the attractiveness of her beautiful face.

Now, after the baptism of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" and "Interstellar", Liu Yifei's fan base in Taiwan is really huge, and she has become the most popular female star in Taiwan.

There is no way, the people in Taiwan have a blind worship of Hollywood, after all, this is the most important position for the United States to export culture.

Liu Yifei can star in many blockbusters in Hollywood. Even if she is a mainland actress, her popularity in Taipei is completely unstoppable. She has become a national goddess.

Sister Zhiling, who was once supported by all the capital in Taiwan, has to stand aside in front of her.

In comparison, although Wu Yuan is also a big director in Hollywood, and even Liu Yifei was promoted by him in Hollywood, he is a behind-the-scenes director after all, and he is also a man. In terms of fan influence and appeal, he can't compare with Liu Yifei at all.

"Thank you, thank you for coming to support me!"

"Love you~"

From the moment she walked on the red carpet, the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene ignited Liu Yifei. She ignored the dissuasion of the surrounding security and insisted on walking to the edge of the red carpet, taking the autograph book handed by the fans, signing her name on it, and taking photos with them. It can be said that she is extremely pampering.

It's not easy for Fei fans in Taiwan.

Liu Yifei rarely comes to Taiwan to run notices and appear on TV shows on weekdays.

To be honest, the invitations to those variety shows in Taiwan are really stingy. They learned from Japan. Artists usually only have one travel fee to participate in TV variety shows. The fee is so low that it is outrageous.

Liu Yifei takes one notice in the mainland, and the notice fee is equivalent to taking dozens of notices in Taiwan. If her agent is a little sane, he will not take notices in Taiwan for her, unless there is a movie being released in Taiwan for promotion.

But "Better Days" did not get a spot to be released in Taiwan, and the Hollywood blockbusters she starred in never come to Taiwan for promotion.

The last time Liu Yifei came to Taiwan was when "Those Years" got the qualification to be released in Taiwan. When it was released in Taiwan, she and Zhu Yawen recorded an episode of "Kangxi Is Coming" together.

Well, the money given was not even enough to reimburse the round-trip air tickets from Beijing.

So this time she had the opportunity to interact closely with fans in Taiwan, and Liu Yifei was also very active in meeting their requests for photos and autographs.

For this reason, Wu Yuan and Zhang Yishan had to stay on the red carpet for a while longer to satisfy the photo requests of the media reporters on the scene, and their faces were almost frozen with smiles.

Fortunately, no one urged them at all, and even hoped that they would stay on the red carpet for a while longer. Even the two red carpet hosts were waiting with smiles on their faces.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Liu Yifei returned to the red carpet leisurely and took Wu Yuan's arm again.

"Let's go~"

Wu Yuan smiled dotingly, and was instantly captured by the reporters on the scene. It is estimated that the words about Wu and Liu couple showing off their love will appear on the Internet again.

"Welcome to the crew of "Better Days" from the mainland!"

"Better Days is a story about two teenagers whose fate was changed by a campus accident on the eve of the college entrance examination, and how they protected each other and became the adults they wanted to be."

"The film combines youth films with realistic themes, focusing on hot social topics such as the mainland college entrance examination and family education, aiming to reflect on what can be done for young people from an adult perspective."

"Since its release, "Better Days" has achieved a box office of 678 million yuan in the mainland, and has received very good reviews and box office in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia."

"This time, "Better Days" was nominated for five awards including Best Feature Film, Best Director and Best Actress."

"Look forward to the performance of this movie at this year's Golden Horse Awards!"

With the host's ups and downs and emotional background introduction, Li Yang led the crew to the signature board. After everyone left their names on it, they swaggered into the performance hall.

"Hey, you are finally here, so slow."

As soon as he entered the performance hall, Wu Yuan heard a cheerful and cheerful business.

When he looked up, he saw Qin Hailu, a silly girl from Beijing. She was holding Jiang Wenli's hand and standing not far away, looking at Wu Yuan with a smile.

One of them represented the crew of "The Piano in a Factory" and the other represented the crew of "The Best Love" to attend this year's Golden Horse Awards.

"The Piano in a Factory" was also nominated for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and many other awards. It can be said to be the biggest dark horse of this year's Golden Horse Awards. All the crew members came.

"The Best Love" was not so good. It was only nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award. So except for Jiang Wenli, the supporting actress, neither the leading actress Zhang Ziyi nor the leading actor Aaron Kwok came to attend this year's Golden Horse Awards, and the director Gu Changwei did not attend.

"Sister Hailu, Sister Wenli, I've been waiting for a long time." Wu Yuan smiled and nodded. They had met in the hotel arranged by the organizing committee.

"Let's go, the award ceremony is about to begin."

The "Better Days" crew had arranged the red carpet quite late, so it was the finale. They dragged on the red carpet for another ten minutes, and now the award ceremony was about to begin.

Quickly finding the seats belonging to the "Better Days" crew, Li Yang, Wu Yuan and others quickly sat down according to the nameplates on the seats.

Just as they sat down, the hosts of this year's Golden Horse Awards, Zeng Zhiwei and Zeng Baoyi, father and daughter, walked onto the podium.

"Good evening, all Chinese film practitioners from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong and Taiwan, outstanding directors, actors, and producers!"

"Welcome everyone to the 48th Taiwan Island Film Golden Horse Awards!"

"I am tonight's award host, Zeng Zhiwei!"

"I am tonight's award host, Zeng Baoyi!" (End of this chapter)
