Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 603 Perfection
Just walked the red carpet.

Li Luo immediately turned back the way he came.

At first, the reporters were completely bewildered, and some fans' screams stopped abruptly as they stared in disbelief at the guy who was running across the red carpet.

Fortunately, at this time.

The red carpet host quickly realized what was happening.

"Yes!"

"The members of the film crew of the movie 'Painted Skin' will be appearing on the red carpet soon."

"At the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards, the film 'Painted Skin,' directed by Chan Ka-sheung and starring Li Luo, received twelve nominations, including Best Film, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography!"

Qian Jiale's voice.

The cheers of the fans drifted on the wind.

The Taiwanese reporters in the media area had mixed feelings upon hearing this series of nominations.

The same movie.

Their names don't even deserve to appear at the Golden Horse Awards.

However, the Hong Kong Film Awards committee directly awarded twelve nominations.

Regardless of how many awards "Painted Skin" ultimately wins, the twelve award nominations it has received so far have already demonstrated the Hong Kong film industry's recognition of the film's quality.

It cannot be said that the Hong Kong Film Awards judging criteria are poor.

Before this, countless viewers had already voted with their feet, and the box office of 385 million yuan was the strongest asset of the movie "Painted Skin".

Therefore, some time ago...

When the nomination list was freshly released.

The Golden Horse Awards organizing committee has once again been subjected to online abuse and ridicule, severely impacting the fairness of the awards.

What are the Taiwanese media thinking?

Li Luo didn't care about all that.

Amidst the applause and cheers of Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, and several other behind-the-scenes personnel from the "Painted Skin" crew who received award nominations, he smiled and opened his arms to hug them one after another.

A wave of his arm.

He led everyone onto the red carpet once again.

The main reason is that Chen Jiashang simply doesn't have the time right now; otherwise, he wouldn't have had to come back and make that trip again.

He followed beside Li Luo.

Stepping on a thick red carpet.

Yang Mi glanced at the Ip Man team, who were being briefly interviewed by the host, her gaze quickly sweeping over the cameras in the reporters' hands and the excited fans on both sides of the red carpet.

Adrenaline surged, and my back stood incredibly straight.

Despite being a newcomer on the red carpet.

But the inherent spirit of the 85-year-old actress quickly burst forth. Yang Mi showed no stage fright at all, and instead rapidly boosted her momentum.

Compared to Fan Bingbing, who looked radiant on the other side.

It's not much worse.

The combined aura of the two did not suppress Li Luo, who was walking in the middle.

Instead, it made him shine even brighter.

At this moment.

The red carpet reached its most dazzling moment.

Dozens, even hundreds, of reporters unleashed a blinding flash of light from their cameras, sweeping wildly toward the most dazzling group of the night.

"Hello, viewers of the Movie Channel."

"This is a live broadcast of the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards red carpet ceremony. I am your host, Chen Dong. Viewers, you are not mistaken, Li Luo is walking the red carpet once again."

"But this time..."

"He led the team from the movie 'Painted Skin' onto the red carpet."

"Walking beside Li Luo are Fan Bingbing, who plays Xiao Wei, and Yang Mi, who plays Xia Bing. These two outstanding mainland actresses have been nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively."

"As for Li Luo."

"It's a great pity that he missed out on the Best Actor nomination for the film 'Painted Skin'."

"But it may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"Everyone knows that Li Luo was nominated for Best Actor for his role in the film 'Ip Man.' If he receives two nominations, it could very well lead to a split in the votes."

"Xinlang Entertainment, this is Xinlang Entertainment."

"Li Luo walked the red carpet again."

"Wow."

"Perhaps due to filming the sequel to the Hollywood movie 'Twilight,' Li Luo's physique has changed a lot. In fact, it was quite obvious when the press conference for 'Little Big Soldier' ​​was held."

"But seeing it firsthand still surprised the reporters on site."

"Compared to those Hollywood muscle men."

"They are in no way inferior."

"Tencent Entertainment reports."

"Li Luo, Fan Bingbing, and Yang Mi walked the red carpet together. This was their first time appearing together since the huge success of the movie 'Painted Skin.' It's a pity that we didn't see the other female lead, Gao Yuanyuan, make an appearance."

"Fan Bingbing's look is very eye-catching, and she has the air of a red carpet queen."

"Yang Mi, the newest lady, has arrived."

"But she showed no stage fright whatsoever."

"The live photos will be uploaded shortly. Please wait a moment."

Major portal websites.

The relevant television stations broadcast the event live simultaneously.

Tens of millions of viewers focused their attention on the ongoing Hong Kong Film Awards red carpet, watching Li Luo lead two stunningly beautiful women to the autograph wall and smiling as they left their signatures.

"Luo Ge."

"Come over and let's chat for a bit."

"You've got such a great physique now, did you get more action scenes in your Hollywood movies?"

For the sake of viewership ratings, popular celebrities are required to give brief interviews.

Li Luo was no exception.

Qian Jiale quickly threw out the much-anticipated question, deftly handing the microphone to his mouth. Although the question was somewhat inappropriate, Hollywood's influence was no joke.

Even though the Hong Kong entertainment circle is full of hidden talents.

However, very few actors have actually made a name for themselves there.

I'm curious.

This is perfectly normal.

"It has nothing to do with the action."

Li Luo smiled and leaned towards the microphone, nodding in response: "Mainly because I'm playing a werewolf, so I have to find a way to get closer to the character."

Facing the camera.

He smugly bent his arm in front of him.

With this action.

The white shirt underneath quickly swelled up.

It was as if with just a little more effort, the buttons that were struggling to hold on would burst off from the chest muscles.

Such a scene.

Not only the fans watching the live stream on the big screen, but also the millions of households watching the live broadcast were instantly filled with excited screams, and the director of the movie channel hesitated slightly.

I forcibly suppressed the urge to cut the camera away.

Amidst the fans' reluctant screams.

Li Luo laughed and released his grip, quickly responding to the remaining questions.

I am delighted to receive this nomination.

It is an honor to compete with the other candidates.

Have confidence.

But the key is participation.

He also congratulated Hong Kong cinema on its centenary and expressed his hope that the Hong Kong Film Awards would continue to improve. Various polite remarks were thrown into the microphone.

Fan Bingbing followed suit, and Yang Mi kept up with the pace.

The brief interview ended quickly.

The crowd lined up.

They all smiled at the camera.

It left a beautiful scene belonging to "Painted Skin" for audiences across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Keep going.

We soon arrived at the temporary rest area for this trip.

A huge tent was set up between the awards ceremony venue and the red carpet, where most of the celebrities who had just walked the red carpet would rest temporarily in preparation for the next ceremony.

To keep the celebrities entertained, the organizing committee even arranged refreshments and champagne for the guests.

The group had just approached.

Then the host representative arrived.

Although Chen Jiashang's hair was gray, the black Zhongshan suit he was wearing made him look incredibly energetic. Despite the fatigue in his eyes, his expression was quite cheerful.

"Director Chen."

Li Luo strode forward and quickly shook hands with his director.

"Welcome, welcome."

Chen Jiashang shook hands with everyone, praising Fan Bingbing's outfit and giving Yang Mi a thumbs up. Finally, he laughed and led the group into the tent.

"Painted Skin" received many nominations.

However, he was not nominated for either Best Actor or Best Director.

Undeterred by any strange looks, Chen Jiashang openly raised a glass of champagne and laughed and clinked glasses with the members of the "Painted Skin" crew.

Drink a glass of wine.

Our Golden Globe Awards chairman then hurriedly took his leave.

He won't be idle today; his primary task is to smoothly advance all processes.

"Ding~"

Clinking glasses with a beaming Yang Mi, Li Luo looked around with a sigh: "There are quite a few people here today. Look, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are here, tsk tsk tsk, and even Sunglasses King."

"Keep your voice down."

Yang Mi nervously swallowed the champagne.

The area is a veritable gathering of renowned directors and stars.

One after another, familiar stars appeared before him, and now he was standing on the same stage as these influential figures in the film and music industries.

this kind of thing.

I never even dared to dream of it before.

With her heart pounding, Yang Mi couldn't help but move closer to her senior, only in this way could she calm her nervous and excited feelings a little.

She was nominated for Best Actress twice.

Fan Bingbing, on the other hand, remained much calmer.

However, she keenly noticed Yang Mi's subtle actions and immediately picked up her champagne glass with a smile.

Body movement.

In a flash, her fingertips pinched Li Luo's waist.

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

Li Luo calmly swirled the champagne in his glass and quickly surveyed the situation inside the tent. Most of the guests were with their respective film crew members.

Those with outgoing personalities would wander around with their cups in hand.

Or in groups of three or five.

Or it could be a gathering of more familiar friends, forming circles of varying sizes.

The shifting gaze quickly settled.

A woman in a red dress stood quietly in the corner of the tent, sipping champagne and smiling at the group of Hong Kong and Taiwanese filmmakers, clearly trying her best to blend in.

Yet, there was a feeling of being subtly excluded.

"You know her?"

Grabbing the bald man closer, Zhang Guoli smiled and raised his glass to clink with Li Luo's: "It seems that Tang Wei became a Hong Kong citizen last year. Director Li An has been good to her and has been helping her find roles recently."

"that is."

"do not know."

Raising his eyebrows, Li Luo indicated that he had something to say.

Although Fan Bingbing and Yang Mi looked elsewhere, they secretly pricked up their ears.

"how to say!"

Zhang Guoli shook his head and said casually in a low voice, "I noticed earlier that she didn't speak a word of Mandarin during the interview, completely acting like a Hong Konger."

“During this period, Tang Wei’s team has always portrayed her as someone who has been blacklisted in the news media, complaining about it in various ways.”

"Has it been banned?"

"Actually, everyone knows the truth."

“We can see clearly what kind of plays she acted in.”

"Now it's like they've suffered some injustice. The official cold treatment is already quite polite. Are they going to publicize and encourage this kind of instant fame by stripping?"

"Now they're showing this attitude."

"Just you wait!" Looking at Fan Bingbing and Yang Mi standing beside him, Zhang Guoli lowered his voice even further: "Tonight's Hong Kong Film Awards broadcast will definitely not feature a single shot of her on mainland television."

smiled.

Li Luo took a small sip of champagne.

If you choose to take the shortcut, you must bear the corresponding consequences.

All I want to do is eat meat.

I don't want to smell any fish.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Even Leung Chiu-wai was not spared from the impact. His career seemed to be going as usual, but he has received just as much ridicule since the release of "Lust, Caution".

Hong Kong media are known for their sharp tongues.

How could I possibly miss out on this kind of banter?

As a result, Liu Jialing was also affected by various rumors; otherwise, given Liang Chaowei's personality, how could he have suddenly decided to get married?

I thought of that close friend who had a grand wedding in Bhutan last year.

Li Luo's heart was instantly stirred.

Just look around.

Jialing was not found.

"hello."

As soon as Zhang Guoli finished speaking, another person walked over with a champagne glass in hand and a smile.

Zhang Fengyi, a well-known actor from mainland China.

Thanks to his performance in "Red Cliff", our Camel Xiangzi was successfully nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and he was also dressed up tonight.

"Hello everyone."

High heels approached, and a slightly hoarse voice rang out: "Hello, Teacher Guoli, Teacher Fengyi, Brother Luo, Sister Bingbing, Sister Mi, I am actress Zhang Yuqi, it's nice to meet you all."

"Hello, Yuqi."

Li Luo looked Sister Fish Head Soup up and down, then smiled and handed her the cup: "So, are you confident of winning the prize tonight?"

"I dare not think about that."

Zhang Yuqi's anxious heart immediately relaxed, and she hurriedly clinked glasses with him.

Thank you for this gesture of acceptance.

One by one.

The mainland film and television figures who were present quickly gathered around Li Luo, and bursts of laughter echoed through the tent. The clinking of wine glasses created quite a stir.

despite this.

Tang Wei, however, remained in the corner, drinking alone and showing no intention of joining in the fun.

However, she didn't have those kinds of thoughts.

Others have it.

Li Luo used to sized up others, but others were also sizing him up.

For many people, regional disputes are completely unimportant; what matters most is having the opportunity to make a lot of money.

He laughed heartily.

Zeng Zhiwei, holding a glass of champagne, strode closer.

Under his influence, Hong Kong film and television professionals gathered around with smiles.

Director Lin Chaoxian is involved.

Of course, Hong Tianming and Xie Tianhua were also present. Prince Fang Zuming appeared with Xue Kaiqi. Liao Qizhi, who was passing by, was grabbed by Li Luo. By the time the laughing aunt Wu Junru rushed over.

Laughter was constant.

The commotion left Tang Wei speechless, staring blankly at the circle he had been desperately trying to break into.

And now.

They actually went ahead and integrated themselves into the group.
As time went by, it soon approached 7 p.m.

The red carpet event is over.

The host began to leave the stage.

Rubbing his temples, Qian Jiale hurried into the tent, picked up a glass of champagne, and gulped it down. Under the puzzled gazes of his brothers Hong Tianming, Li Luo, and Xie Tianhua, he strode over.

"I had thought of everything, but I never expected there would be traffic on the road."

"Many guests were unable to make it to the red carpet."

"it's common!"

Hung Tin-ming said that this kind of thing has happened before.

"The others are fine."

Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Qian Jiale shook his head repeatedly and said, "The key issue is that Wei Zai is also stuck in traffic. The centennial lighting ceremony is just around the corner, and the perfect ten is about to become nine-nine!"

Look at each other.

Xie Tianhua smacked his lips, expressing his surprise at the unexpected blunder.

"Let's chat for a bit."

Li Luo blinked, but then quickly thought of something else. He nimbly pulled Da Tou Zai aside and whispered something in his ear while the other looked bewildered.

"Hollywood?"

Swallowing hard, Qian Jiale stared blankly at Li Luo.

I just came in to quench my thirst.

Suddenly, a bombshell piece of news hit him on the head, leaving him feeling extremely dizzy.

"It's Hollywood."

Li Luo nodded in agreement and continued in a low voice, "Don't you want to lead your team out to explore the world, make the Qian family's reputation known, and have more ways to make money in the future!"

"Uh"

Qian Jiale rubbed his temples again.

Action movies have always been a strong suit for Chinese superstars.

Industry insiders are discussing whether Li Luo will take advantage of the situation to film action movies in Hollywood and continue his pursuit of the title of international action star.

However, no one expected to suddenly hear Li Luo make such a remark here.

He also invited his own stunt team to join.

In addition to excitement.

I was still a little apprehensive.

"How about it?"

Li Luo looked at this daring and hardworking stuntman leader and said with a smile, "Don't you know my strength? Don't you have confidence in the action movies I make? Or do you want to spend your whole life working in Hong Kong?"

"Hollywood!"

"This movie is full of gunfights, brawls, car chases, and explosions—we can do whatever we want with it!"

"I guarantee it will be absolutely thrilling."

He flashed his palm, revealing his pearly white teeth to Qian Jiale: "This kind of opportunity doesn't come around every day. Interested in playing with me again?"

"Snapped!"

Qian Jiale swallowed hard and slapped it hard with his palm.

The action choreography teams on Hong Kong Island have diverse styles.

The Jackie Chan Stunt Team is known for its humor and stunts, which are characterized by high difficulty and danger. Nowadays, Hung Kin-po emphasizes hard-hitting and realistic moves, aiming for a visceral impact. The Yuen Clan's moves are graceful and imaginative.

The Zhen family troupe is a distinct school of its own.

It blends modern mixed martial arts techniques and has made a name for itself with its sharp fighting style.

As for the Qian family troupe...

They also have their own unique style.

Modern gunfights, street chases, car stunts, and so on are all things that Chin Ka-lok's stunt team excels at, and they are also a perfect match for the movie "John Wick".

The importance of stunt teams to action movies.

Li Luo was, of course, fully aware of this.

If you're going to make a film, you should find a way to make it even more exciting than the original.

However, without a good team to help, it would be very difficult to accomplish this on your own.

The Qian Family Troupe.

It's a very suitable team.

As their hands clenched tightly together, it felt like a weight had been lifted from their hearts.

"What should I do?"

The thought of going to Hollywood to make an action movie made Chin Ka-lok's eyes light up with excitement.

It's not just fun and exciting.

If Morocco can maintain its consistent level of performance.

The Qian Family Martial Arts Troupe will soon enjoy great fame and more opportunities to make money. As the head of the Martial Arts Troupe, he couldn't refuse Li Luo's invitation for this reason alone.

"You should practice your English first."

"Further familiarize yourself with modern shooting techniques, various cool gun-handling tricks, and one-hit-kill combat skills."

"This movie is actually very simple in essence."

"It means killing."

"To carry out a frenzied killing spree."

"The project won't start anytime soon. Just know that it's happening. I'll let you know when it's officially in preparation. Remember not to let anyone know."

These words.

Qian Jiale listened, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding excitedly.

Learn foreign languages.

It's almost like taking his life.

But the film style that Li Luo described was the kind of type that he couldn't resist at all. No matter how difficult it was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere. People in the martial arts industry are all competitive and eager to succeed. Who wouldn't want to go to Hollywood and live a glamorous life?

This kind of opportunity.

It is indeed extremely difficult to come across under normal circumstances.

There aren't many stunt teams that can successfully pave their way in Hollywood, and with Luo Ge's influence, he could very well become the next one.

The matter is settled.

The two returned to their original positions.

They continued to join in the bursts of cheerful laughter.

Not long after, the organizing committee members, led by Chen Jiashang, rushed into the tent.

Such a big movement.

This quickly reduced the noise from the guests inside.

"Everyone."

With his hands clasped in front of him, Director Chen forced a warm smile: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Tony Leung was unable to arrive at the venue on time, but our ceremony will proceed as scheduled."

"Please welcome all the nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress."

"Please welcome everyone!"

Following the rhythm of the Hong Kong Film Awards chairman, a burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the large, simple reception.

He tugged at his sleeve.

Gu Tianle stepped out from the crowd.

Encouraged by his wife's words, Zhang Jiahui walked forward, his legs weak.

Put down the cup.

Simon Yam moved on with a cheerful gait.

The other four Best Actress nominees appeared one after another, excitedly welcoming the envious glances from their peers.

Centennial celebration.

The specifications will naturally differ.

Even if we don't win the Hong Kong Film Award in the end.

Everyone can also enjoy their own glory under the spotlight.

As Zhang Guoli, Eric Tsang, Ng Chun-ju, Zhang Fengyi, Yang Mi, Zhang Yuqi, Hung Tin-ming, Chin Ka-lok and others clapped, they all stepped aside.

innermost.

There stood two figures, one black and one white.

They were like a perfect couple.

Li Luo and Fan Bingbing smiled and clapped to express their gratitude, then walked out of the crowd together under envious and jealous gazes.

"Are you cool?"

The questioning gaze fell upon Little Fatty.

"Cool!!!"

With her alluring gaze, Fan Bingbing almost got goosebumps.

Under the envious gazes of celebrities pouring out of the tent, and amidst the frantic clicking of camera shutters by a hundred or so reporters.

Listening to the deafening cheers from the movie fans.

The nine Best Actor and Best Actress nominees, along with the head of the organizing committee, jointly pressed the button standing in front of them, causing the number 100 light board above the cultural center to burst into bright light.

Fireworks soared into the sky.

Use vibrant and colorful hues.

Celebrating the centenary of Hong Kong cinema through countless ups and downs.
