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

Chapter 622 A Galaxy of Stars
"Luo Ge."

"Brother Luo, your seat is inside."

As Li Luo's figure drew closer.

Xiong Dailin and Yang Mi moved their legs apart one after the other, allowing him to calmly approach Fan Bingbing.

The more critical the moment, the more calm you need to be.

We can't do it before others have even done anything.

I felt guilty first!

At this moment, one should be open and honest, especially with Huang Baiming, Chen Jiashang, Ye Weixin, Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, and others sitting around, so there is no need to feel nervous at all.

"A Luo~"

Another muffled shout rang out.

"Brother Wen?"

Li Luo looked over and immediately laughed and leaned over to shake hands firmly with Jiang Wen, passing Fan Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Weiqiang, Chen Kexin and others sitting in the front row.

Sitting next to the other person were the main creators of the film "Let the Bullets Fly".

Uncle Ge was among them.

further away.

Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Wang Zhongjun, Lin Yue and others sat together, while Zhao Xuejing sat next to Manager Lin. The two of them were waving their arms at him with great excitement.

As a representative of Xinghuo Films.

Our Manager Lin will naturally attend this industry event to demonstrate her own presence.

Working behind the scenes.

It doesn't mean that you have to stay behind the scenes all the time.

He nodded and smiled at the familiar and unfamiliar guests sitting around him.

A while has passed.

Li Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to sit down.

no way.

You can ignore people who are sitting far away.

However, those who are close by must be greeted properly; that's how you have to be when you're in the world of fame and fortune.

Privately.

You can ignore it.

On scene.

It must be comprehensive in every aspect.

After regaining his composure, Li Luo smiled and looked around.

Yuanyuan, Yiyi, Bingbing, Mimi, and Linlin were all in sight, their noses filled with the alluring scent of perfume, and their various evening gowns and accessories made them look incredibly glamorous.

Such a scene.

It was a truly delightful sight for him.

A smile crept across Li Luo's lips as his elbows casually brushed against each other.

The best defense.

They often take the initiative!

The moment Yang Mi touched the soft flesh of her waist, she tensed up in fright.

Fan Bingbing smiled with pursed lips, but subtly gave him a hard slap. Tonight's Huabiao Awards event was of extremely high caliber, and was being broadcast live in its entirety by CCTV Movie Channel.

People carrying cameras wandered around.

They can be captured on camera at any time.

Even if she had two more lives, she wouldn't dare let Li Luo act recklessly.

Thus.

The ambiguity in the air quickly dissipated.

As for Lynn Hung, who was sitting on the other side, her boyfriend was sitting not far away.

They dared not make any unnecessary movements.

"How about it?"

Just as Li Luo was feeling a sharp pain in his lower back, Huang Baiming excitedly grabbed his shoulder and said, "How good is your chance of winning the award tonight? In my opinion, you still have a very good chance!"

Seeing that Li Luo successfully lost weight.

He was incredibly happy.

Whether or not they can win an award is something that Boss Huang is also extremely concerned about.

If he wins the Best Actor award.

The upcoming filming of "Ip Man: Legend of the Grandmaster" will bring another major piece of news worth promoting.

As soon as these words came out.

Several people nearby looked over excitedly.

If Brother Luo can win the grand prize tonight, it will solidify his position in the industry.

What he currently lacks is a prestigious award to his name. Although he has won many trophies before, he also has the coveted Cannes Golden Camera Award.

It all comes down to it.

Those awards were either not prestigious enough or were only for newcomers.

It was always just a little bit lacking.

Although the Huabiao Award for Best Actor is not on par with the "Three Golden Awards," it is definitely a prestigious award. Holding that Huabiao in one's hand would make up for the last shortcoming of a lack of awards.

"Hard to say."

Li Luo shook his head slightly and casually picked up a promotional leaflet placed next to him: "The Huabiao Awards are still quite official. Sister Ziyi's chances of winning Best Actress are obviously much higher than mine. Her subject matter is too advantageous!"

In the film "Mei Lanfang", Zhang Ziyi plays Meng Xiaodong, a master of Peking Opera.

This subject matter, coupled with the support of a renowned director, makes it a perfect fit.

Although it started strong but ended weakly, it is still a work of high quality, and it is not surprising that it is favored by various award ceremonies.

As for whether I can win an award.

To be honest, Li Luo really wasn't sure.

Although he had a good relationship with Han Sanping and Zuo Shandiao had a great influence on the Huabiao Awards, this place was not a place where the other party could make decisions on his own.

Although I am currently powerful, my foundation is not particularly deep.

In the industry.

They belong to the rising stars.

Therefore, there are some things he can't bring himself to ask.

However, Zhang Guoli recently indicated that he was trying to help him make arrangements, and what that guy said was also very clever.

The Golden Horse Awards are biased, and the Hong Kong Film Awards are protective of their own.

Since everyone's playing this way, we do have a home-field advantage.

A few simple words and the other party's meaningful smile made Li Luo feel a bit hopeful tonight. Sometimes, external forces are also a very important factor in whether or not he can win a major award.

When playing away from home.

I've suffered quite a bit of losses.

It remains to be seen whether returning to their home ground will bring any unexpected surprises.

"Do not say that."

Sitting on the other side of Fan Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi turned to look at her, clenched her fist and encouraged her, "Your performance in 'Painted Skin' was very good. I think you still have a very good chance."

"Yeah."

"Keep it up, you'll definitely be fine."

"Go, Luo Ge!"

Led by Boss Zhang, a cheer erupted from all around.

Although everyone kept their voices down.

The scene was chaotic.

However, Li Luo still waved his hand to suppress the commotion. If he really won the award later, that would be fine, but now that he's set such a high bar, wouldn't it be a laughing stock if he went home empty-handed?

Li Luo shook the promotional leaflet and stared at it intently.

The reason I'm unsure is...

It's related to the underlying nature of this award.

At least half of the nominated films, just the names alone made his eyes twitch slightly.

"I Am Fertilizer Under the Flowers", "Lang Lang's Song: Dedicated to 2008", "Rural Domestic Sewage Treatment", "Maimaiti's 2008", "New Environmentally Friendly Pig Farming Method Using Fermentation Beds", "Freshwater Crayfish Farming".

I didn't misread it.

These are the nominated films for tonight.

As an official award, the Huabiao Awards are no longer solely focused on entertainment.

Significance for science and education.

That's also something they value.

Therefore, a certain percentage of the awards must be allocated to films with a patriotic theme, which is why the Huabiao Awards frequently award two films to each other.

Because of this.

Some awards are so obvious that it's easy to tell who the real winner is.

The runner-up.

Of course, it's also very clear at a glance.

As far as I can remember, it will be a few more years before the Huabiao Awards abolish these ridiculous awards.

In addition, there is another awkward aspect to the Huabiao Awards.

Perhaps out of caution in choosing words, the award names are not titled "Best" like other award ceremonies, but instead use the word "Excellent". For example, Li Luo was nominated for the Outstanding Actor Award.

In addition, in order to strengthen cooperation among Chinese-language filmmakers.

The 13th Huabiao Film Awards also added three new awards: Outstanding Overseas Chinese Actress, Outstanding Overseas Chinese Actor, and Outstanding Overseas Chinese Director.

After Li Luo finished reading the relevant information...

Tonight's awards ceremony officially began amidst thunderous applause.

It coincides with the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The entire gala was designed as a hall of honor for the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, full of ceremony and prestige. It featured a giant 18-meter LED screen as the main backdrop, with six openable and foldable screens forming the gate of honor in front.

The stage setup exudes grandeur and magnificence.

Amidst enthusiastic applause.

Our hosting team will be making a dazzling appearance tonight.

The 13th China Film Huabiao Awards were officially launched, hosted by Jing Wei, a host from the Movie Channel, together with renowned actor Pu Cunxin, and representatives from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Hendrik Willem Van Loon and Vivian Hsu.

During the opening remarks.

Producer Zhang had already disappeared from his seat.

After Hendrik Willem Van Loon and others finished their opening remarks, she joined Chen Kaige and three veteran filmmakers on stage to represent three generations of filmmakers and review the 60-year journey of Chinese cinema.

Set the tone.

After the opening song and dance performance ended.

Zhao Wei, Wu Peici, and Karen Mok walked onto the stage together in black evening gowns. The actresses from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong were the first group of award presenters to announce the Outstanding Children's Film Award.

Next.

Xia Yu, Huang Xiaoming, and Lu Yi, three handsome men, also appeared on stage.

The event started as a warm-up, with trophies for newcomers, children, documentaries, educational films, opera films, and feature films being awarded one after another.

Compared to the winners.

Actually, the opening and award presenters are more interesting to watch.

This is no way.

If many of the award-winning films hadn't been shown on stage, probably over 90% of the guests present wouldn't have known such films existed.

Let alone word-of-mouth and box office, most of these films never even made it to theaters.

Just like the Shanghai International Film Festival.

God knows from which nook and cranny the organizers found these films.

Whether it's Chinese or foreign, Li Luo has absolutely no interest in these kinds of films. If it weren't for the glamorous female stars on the awards stage, he would have yawned.

people around me.

They immediately set off for the backstage area.

Ning Hao, Wang Baoqiang, Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Bingbing, and others were all going backstage to prepare for the lottery draw.

With Li Luo's efforts.

Huang Bo also got the opportunity to be an award presenter.

This guy was quite lucky, standing on stage with three beautiful women, Tao Hong, Dong Jie, and Ma Yili, smiling as they announced the winners of the Best Actor and Actress awards for children's films.

He did a good job.

Dong Jie was so nervous that he stammered and even showed signs of forgetting his lines.

Such a stage.

It's a huge pressure for anyone.

"do not do that."

Seeing Yang Mi's envious face, Li Luo gently patted her thigh: "It's just an award ceremony, there's nothing to be envious of. Actually, I was going to arrange it for you too."

"But doing that would be overstepping one's bounds."

"And it won't sound good if it gets out."

It's different from winning an award.

Winning an award is quite easy for Li Luo.

In any case, awarding these minor prizes doesn't involve any significant interests, so the Huabiao Awards organizers wouldn't be so stingy as to deny them even this small favor.

But Yang Mi was never a Xinghuo artist.

Too much interference.

It is easy to attract criticism.

"Hmm~"

Yang Mi glanced nervously at Xiong Dailin, then hurriedly covered the hand on her thigh with her bag. The young woman asked pointedly, "Now you're overstepping your bounds, what about later?"

"after?"

Li Luo thought about it seriously, then, while playing with the smooth thigh, said, "You should reduce your workload in the future and try to take on some good dramas and films."

"Work hard to hone your acting skills."

"You already have plenty of popularity."

"Next, we just need to work steadily and step by step, and one day our Da Mimi will become a heartthrob who drives countless people crazy and makes the stage shine."

The first burst of red and the first burst of fire.

Yang Mi still lacked confidence.

A few soft words were enough to melt her heart.

Her big, alluring eyes glanced over, and the force with which she had been pressing down on the bag dissipated.

Bad senior.

Touch it if you like!

Smiling, Li Luo gently scratched his skin with his fingertips, and couldn't help but recall Yang Mi's career. In his past life, Yang Mi's success and failure both stemmed from her relentless work ethic.

After leaving her current agency, she went to work in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for a while, filming quite a few bad movies.

Yang Mi has established her own film and television company.

In order to fulfill the betting agreement, he took on all sorts of bad movies with an even more frenzied attitude. After successfully winning the capital bet, this guy had to become a wet nurse to support a large number of newcomers under the company.

This leads to the production of more bad movies.

She was only a minor shareholder in the company she had painstakingly built, and in the end, it all turned into a complete mess.

Yang Mi's most criticized aspect is her acting skills.

But at his most outrageous, this guy released more than a dozen films and TV series in a single year, while also running around doing promotions, commercial performances, and shooting commercials. It would be a miracle if the works produced under such circumstances were of any quality.

By slowing down the pace.

Polish the quality of your work carefully.

I believe that the other person can radiate a more dazzling light than in their previous life.

As for the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses who were ahead of Yang Mi), they also have their own shortcomings.

Xu Cai Nu (a talented woman).

She has too much water content.

Li Bingbing doesn't have any particularly outstanding strengths.

Zhang Ziyi lacks national recognition because she hasn't ventured into the television drama market. Zhao Wei is the most formidable among them, excelling in both acting and directing.

However, the other party is embroiled in scandals and lacks fashion resources.

Fan Xiaopang is equally fierce.

At the peak of his career, this guy was a combination of good looks, buzz, top endorsements, and impressive achievements. He was endorsed by various international brands, and his influence was comparable to that of a superstar.

If she hadn't collapsed so suddenly, she would have had the potential to become the top female celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry.

However, Fan Bingbing also has her shortcomings. The most criticized aspect is that she doesn't have any classic roles to her name.

This is the current weakness.

Li Luo slammed it back with "Painted Skin".

The most captivating character in the film that broke box office records, no one can say it's not a classic. Now, when netizens talk about Fan Bingbing, Jin Suo has become a thing of the past, and Xiao Wei has become her synonym.

In this lifetime.

Fan Bingbing will shine even brighter.

The fingers gently traced the outline.

Li Luo withdrew his hand from his thigh and smiled at Fan Xiaopang, who was running back bent over.

"It's just an award ceremony!"

He shook his head with a smile, then couldn't help but complain, "It's not like it's the first time. Why are you so excited? Why did it take you so long to get back?"

"No."

Fan Bingbing quickly sat down.

He reached out and tugged at his sleeve, then blinked and said, "I met a director I really like backstage and chatted with her for a while. Um, Brother Luo, could you make time to meet her tonight?"

"what?"

Li Luo was bewildered.

What does this have to do with me?

"Oops~"

Little Fatty quickly pouted and shook his arm, saying, "Will you see me or not? Will you see me or not!"

"Good good."

Li Luo chuckled to himself.

Few people could resist Little Fatty's coquettishness.

Of course, I am no exception.

But when asked what it was about, the guy acted all mysterious, leaving him completely baffled.

I'm too lazy to care about that.

Li Luo quickly turned his attention to the stage.

As time went on, prestigious awards began to be presented one after another.

The Outstanding Co-production Award was shared by four films: Ip Man, Red Cliff, Painted Skin, and If You Are the One. This marked a successful start for Xinghuo Films at this year's Huabiao Awards.

Amidst enthusiastic applause.

Huang Baiming, Lin Yue, Wang Zhongjun, and representatives from China Film Group went on stage to receive the trophy.

Seeing Lin Yue standing on the stage looking rather uncomfortable, Li Luo laughed and clapped even louder. Chen Jiashang, Yang Mi, Ye Weixin, Xiong Dailin and others also clapped excitedly.

Although the credit goes to the production company.

But for them, this is also a form of affirmation.

In the Outstanding Overseas Chinese Director Award, both Yip Wai-shun and Chan Ka-sang unfortunately lost to Ng Yu-shin.

Award for Outstanding Overseas Chinese Actress.

The winners were announced by comedians Zhou Xingchi and Ge You.

The two of them stood there.

Nothing was said.

This already drew a burst of laughter from the entire audience.

The successive appearances of various luminaries on stage made this year's Huabiao Awards a truly star-studded event.

At this moment, the viewers in front of the TV were completely engrossed, constantly counting the various celebrities that flashed before their eyes.

It looks incredibly exciting.

Especially veteran stars like Stephen Chow, Zhang Yimou, Hendrik Willem Van Loon, and Jet Li.

On weekdays.

It's truly a rare sight.

On stage, various awards were presented in quick succession, and song and dance performances continued. Hendrik Willem Van Loon excitedly went on stage to sing "A Man Should Be Self-reliant," while the members of the New Seven Little Fortunes showed off their skills around him.

They were dragged onto this stage.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon has spared no effort in promoting him.

After Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige received the Best Director award, only the Best Actor and Best Actress awards remained to be presented at the awards ceremony.

Now we've arrived at this point.

All the guests were energized.

Nobody knows who will win Best Actor and Best Actress tonight.

"Next."

Smiling at the audience, Tu Jingwei stood on the side of the stage with a microphone in hand: "Please welcome the presenters for the Outstanding Actor Award: Zhang Guoli, Chen Hong, and Xu Fan. Let's give them a round of applause."

Upon hearing the name of the next award, the people around Li Luo instantly became excited.

Amidst applause.

Zhang Guoli, holding Xu Fan's hand with his left hand and Chen Hong's hand with his right, strolled with a smile from the side of the stage to the award presentation area.

That golden lottery ticket.

He actually stuffed it directly into his suit pocket.

Such a performance.

This immediately caused a burst of light laughter from the audience.

Who are the nominees?

Yang Mi swallowed hard and asked anxiously.

No answer is needed.

A live video of Li Luo smiling suddenly appeared on the large screen in the center of the stage. Seeing that she was also caught on camera, Yang Mi was startled and hurriedly straightened her posture.

On the other side, Fan Bingbing's face was also partially captured in the photo.

Little Fatty was excited.

But she maintained a calm smile.

"Brother Luo!!!"

"Xiao Wei!"

As the image appeared, the moviegoers at the back of the theater erupted in excited cheers.

This kind of movement.

He rarely appeared during the entire awards ceremony.

The guests sitting in front turned around to look, surprised by Li Luo's current popularity, which was comparable to that of a superstar.

It wasn't just the moviegoers at the scene who were excited; viewers in front of their TVs were so thrilled they stomped their feet, and countless fans of the series were so nervous they clenched their fists and stared intently at the drama.

Followed by.

Zhang Hanyu, who was nominated for her role in "Assembly", appears in the lower left corner of the screen.

Ok.

There was applause.

The cheers had already faded away.

The LED screen flashed again, and the actor that appeared in Li Luo's eyes was none other than Li Dakang. Wu Gang was nominated for the 13th Huabiao Awards for Outstanding Actor for his performance in the movie "Iron Man".

Next up is the male lead in the movie "Yuan Longping".

Actor Guo Jinglin.

The other party fills in the last blank.

All four nominees for this year's Best Actor award appeared on the big screen on stage, and just looking at the list, many people already had a good idea of ​​who was who.

Two mainstream commercial film actors, and two patriotic film actors.

The Best Actor of the Night.

They will choose one from each of them.

At this moment, the vast majority of guests were focused on the live video feeds of actors Li Luo and Zhang Hanyu.

Looking at Li Luo's calm smile and Zhang Hanyu's composed demeanor.

This behavior.

It's not that I disrespect the other two actors.

But everyone knows perfectly well who the real glory belongs to.

The former delivered a brilliant performance in "Painted Skin" and won the box office champion with record-breaking results, while the latter's performance in "Assembly" was impeccable, and he won awards left and right.

Who will win the award?

Both have undeniable advantages.

Who will lose?

It would be extremely regrettable.

"Brother Luo?"

Standing in front of the standing microphone, Zhang Guoli released the hands of the two directors' wives with a displeased expression: "I am clearly Zhang Guoli, okay? Why do you people keep calling me Li Luo?"

"To put it bluntly..."

Patting his chest, Zhang Guoli proudly raised his chin: "I'm way more handsome than Li Luo!!!"

this time.

The audience was silent.

Standing beside her, Chen Hong held her stomach and used all her strength to purse her lips.

We had already agreed on the opening remarks.

But to my surprise, this guy didn't play by the rules.

"Pfft~"

I held it in for a second.

Chen Hong still burst into laughter, her face flushed.

This commotion caused a huge uproar. When Xu Fan turned to the side and covered his mouth, the entire theater burst into laughter. But then Zhang Guoli spread his hands with a blank expression.

The audience was laughing so hard they almost fell over.

Han Sanping wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, feeling both amused and exasperated, while Fang Long slapped his thigh repeatedly with delight.

Even the TV screen trembled at this moment, clearly the cameraman was also amused by Zhang Guoli, which startled the on-site director, who quickly switched to another shot.

Li Luo smiled and clapped his hands at the camera that was pointed at him.

Then he nodded and gave a thumbs up.

Look!

Zhang Guoli chuckled as he pulled out the prize ticket, shrugged, and said, "Even Li Luo admits I'm better looking than him, not to mention Zhang Hanyu, Wu Gang, and Guo Jinglin."

"If you ask me, this award is more suitable for me to receive."

They can joke around freely on this kind of stage.

Not much really.

Zhang Guoli, who is known for his wide circle of friends, is definitely in this category. After all, not many people would dare to walk onto the stage hand in hand with the wives of two famous directors.

Amidst bursts of laughter that filled the hall.

Chen Hong and Xu Fan suppressed their laughter and stepped forward to introduce themselves.

"okay."

Zhang Guoli took the award certificate out of his pocket and handed it to Xu Fan: "Neither Chen Hong nor I have ever won the Huabiao Award, but Xu Fan has won it once. We can't just keep giving out awards without actually winning them."

"You announce the winning numbers!"

"Chen Hong and I will continue to work hard."

"Correct."

Chen Hong smiled broadly and nodded, saying, "Let's keep trying."

He accepted the award certificate with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Xu Fan slowly opened it amidst the watchful eyes of everyone.

The laughter in the room receded like a tide at the same time. Apart from the four nominees who forced themselves to keep smiling, everyone looked at the golden list of winners with great tension and anticipation.

"national power."

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhang Guoli: "I think it would be better if you read it."

This sentence.

This made Li Luo's heart skip a beat.

Her smile froze, and an overwhelming sense of loss swept over Zhang Hanyu.

At this moment, countless burning gazes rushed towards Li Luo in an instant. Everyone present knew that Zhang Guoli and Li Luo were so close that they were practically inseparable!

Look closely.

Zhang Guoli's eyes instantly lit up.

Without any hesitation, he took the prize ticket from Xu Fan's hand.

The 13th China Film Huabiao Awards.

"Best Actor Award"

"Congratulations."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Guoli excitedly raised his fist towards the audience: "We welcome our first post-80s winner, the youngest Huabiao Award Best Actor in history!"

"Li Luo!!!"
