"What a big loss! What a big loss! All the limelight was stolen by Awen, causing my carefully planned surprise to come to nothing. It's a big loss for me!"
After the awards, after dealing with the reporters who had been waiting for a long time, the organizing committee invited guests to a celebration cocktail party. As the best actor, Chow Yun-fat naturally received congratulations from many friends. Unfortunately, Brother Fat seemed not very satisfied and kept telling everyone that he was embarrassed tonight. Big.
"Fa Zai, at least you still won the prize, but I am empty-handed!" Wu Yusen laughed and scolded: "If you make me angry again, be careful I ask someone to beat you!"
Wu Yusen, who had been silent for many years, originally hoped to win the best director award for "A Better Tomorrow", but he lost to Fang Yuping's "American Heart" in the end. I was feeling depressed when I heard Fa Ge repeatedly saying that he wanted to win the award again. He sent out wedding invitations at the same time, but Zhou Wen rushed to distribute the wedding invitations, which made his joy in vain. Even Wu Yusen, who was a man of few words, was also annoyed.
Xu Ke patted Wu Yusen on the shoulder and comforted him: "Asen, don't be discouraged. We didn't win the best director. We still have a consolation award for the best film. Although I went up to receive the award, "A Better Tomorrow" also has one. A credit to you.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not discouraged, it¡¯s just that Fa Zai is too irritating.¡± Wu Yusen said with a bitter smile.
"Please be considerate, he was nominated for three years, waited for three years, and his acting skills were finally recognized by the judges. If it were me, I would be so excited." Hong Jinbao said with a smile.
Xu Ke said with emotion: "Speaking of which, the real big winner tonight is Awen, who won five awards for "Rivals 2" alone, and the most popular actress, who also won two Best Actor and Best Picture awards. The big prize is also due to him.¡±
A total of 13 awards were set for the 6th session, and Zhou Wen¡¯s camp actually won 7 in one go. He is a well-deserved winner. If someone who doesn¡¯t know about it will definitely think that the Academy Award is given by his family, he will take it as he pleases without being polite at all.
Everyone was moved by Xu Ke's emotions, and everyone was filled with emotion. Five of the seven awards were without any debate. The winner of the Best Actor Award must be decided between Chow Yun-fat and Dilong, but the battle for Best Actress was an upset. It came as a surprise to everyone.
Because the ownership of the actress not only represents the battle between Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Aijia, but also the battle between Zhou Wen and Pan Disheng behind the scenes, not to mention there is a huge gamble as the jackpot. The Academy Award judges finally awarded the Best Actress award to Zhong Chuhong, which really made everyone excited and shocked.
"Sanmao, I'm a little confused. Judging from the news I got and Pan Disheng's performance, at least more than half of the 50 judges were bribed by Debao, but why did the Best Actress crown go to Hong Gu? ?" Xu Ke frowned and asked Hong Jinbao for advice.
"You ask me, who should I ask? Maybe the judges had a conscience and returned the money." Hong Jinbao shook his head and said: "No matter what, the Academy Award can award the Best Actress to Hong Gu. It shows that the organizing committee is still very fair and just." At least it is not influenced by the outside world. This is something worth celebrating."
"Yes, yes, if the award is given to Debao in the end, I would rather not win the prize but scold the judges when I get on stage!" Zhou Runfa said sternly.
"Fa Zai, I can't tell you have a sense of justice!" Zhang Guorong exclaimed.
Zhou Runfa said matter-of-factly: "That's absolutely true. I am the incarnation of Brother Ma. In fact, the surprise I really wanted to give everyone was not to send wedding invitations, but to bombard the organizing committee and protest sternly. As a resulteveryone was happy, and I was in vain. I racked my brains in the audience and came up with a bunch of designed lines but didn¡¯t use them.¡±
"Real or false?" everyone asked in confusion.
"I testify, I testify!" Zhou Cai'er raised her hands and said, "I heard Brother Fa mutter something, and there were also swear words!!"
"Wow, you are indeed Brother Ma, so loyal and courageous! I take back what I just said and sincerely apologize to you!" Wu Yusen bowed deeply. Others were even more moved. They didn't expect that Zhou Runfa would rather give up the title of Best Actor to seek justice for Zhou Wen and Zhong Chuhong. This kind of friendship is better than that of real brothers. It cannot but be said that Zhou Wen's charm is extraordinary.
If the Best Actress lands at Debao Company, and Chow Run-fat takes to the stage to speak out and righteously criticizes the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee, one can imagine the seriousness of the incident. "The incident has left an indelible shadow in the minds of the majority of film workers. Not only has it lost everyone's support and love, but it will also be spurned and protested by millions of citizens. The Academy Awards are over."
"You guys are so bold! It's so crazy!" Li Xiuxian didn't come back to his senses for a long time after hearing this. He really couldn't imagine that Zhou Runfa would be so generous and would rather give up a prize than lose a breath.
"Zhiwei, before you joked about deliberately pronouncing Hong Gu's name wrong, do you already know the result?" Hong Jinbao suddenly asked Zeng Zhiwei.
Zeng Zhiwei shook his head vigorously and said: "I don't know, except for a few core judges,No one knows the final result. I was really joking with Hong Gu at the time. "
"That's weird" Everyone was confused.
"I said let's stop guessing and ask the person involved directly. Maybe Awen got the news in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have made a bet with Pan Disheng." Xu Ke suggested.
"Yes, but what about the Awen people?" Zhou Runfa suddenly realized.
"Maybe let's hang out with Hong Gu again" After Zhang Guorong finished speaking, he immediately pointed to the distance and said, "No, Hong Gu is chatting with other people over there, and Zhou Wen is no longer nearby."
"Hey, Honggu, have you seen Awen?" Zhou Runfa ran over to ask.
Zhong Chuhong was communicating with actresses such as Wang Zuxian and Pan Hong. After hearing Fa Ge's inquiry, he shook his head in confusion and said, "No, I just saw him chatting with a few judges."
¡¡Dividing line¡¡
In the bathroom of the hotel, Pan was pacing back and forth smoking a cigar. Judging from the unhappy expression and anger on his face, he seemed to be very, very dissatisfied with today's results. However, it was a done deal, and the sure winner was finally defeated by Zhou Wen. Taking it away, even if he Pan Di Sheng is not short of money, will still be a bit painful after all.
That was not a toy car mentioned casually, it was a specially customized sports car worth less than five million US dollars. He had gone through a lot of trouble to get the reservation, and he had to give it away before he even saw the shadow of the car. . How can you make Pan's flute happy?
But he cares more about reputation than losing money. He lost his wife and lost his army tonight. Thinking of this, Pan Disheng's mood became even worse. He threw his cigar to the ground and stepped on it hard.
It was not long before someone walked into the bathroom. When Pan Disheng saw the person, he immediately rushed over with a ferocious expression. Pointing at the other person, he said: "***, what happened tonight? You made me lose face. Do you know?"
"Mr. Pan, please don't get excited yet." The visitor tried to calm down and said, "Actually, I don't know where the problem lies. I will investigate and give you a result as soon as possible."
The more Pan Disheng spoke, the more excited he became: "There is no point in investigating now. I only know that I have lost both my life and money, and you bastards took my money and didn't help me get anything done!"
"Mr. Pan, if you say that. I can only say sorry. There is absolutely no problem on my side. You can spend money to buy 25 judges. Can't Zhou Wen spend money to buy another 25 judges? Not to mention the Thirteen Standing Committee Association The lyrics, composers, and Shenlong special effects team are all on Zhou Wen¡¯s side, 25:25, plus a few Zhou Wen¡¯s supporters, the final result is that you lose!¡±
"***! You said you could help me get it done, but you're just telling me this now!" Pan Di punched the mirror angrily.
Seeing the commotion, the visitor hurriedly looked outside and worriedly opened all the toilet doors to check. He breathed a sigh of relief after making sure no one was there.
"Mr. Pan someone is coming!" The bribed judge hurried into the toilet.
As the footsteps gradually approached, Pan adjusted his mood with the sound of the flute, turned on the faucet and washed the blood stains on his hands, pretending that it was nothing to do with him, but the person who came in didn't seem to intend to let him go, because he came The person he hates the most and the person he least wants to see is Zhou Wen.
"Hey, what a coincidence. Mr. Pan is here too." Zhou Wen walked to the position next to Pan's flute, caught a glimpse of the cracked mirror surface, smiled, and turned on the faucet. While washing his hands, he said cheerfully: "Mr. Pan, if you plan to forget about tonight's bet, I can pretend that I didn't hear anything."
"It's just a toy car, I can still afford to lose, huh!" Pan snorted coldly.
"Mr. Pan is indeed a gentleman who keeps his word, so thank you very much for Mr. Pan's generosity!" Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"Humph!" Pan fluteed and walked away convinced.
Zhou Wen shrugged, glanced at one of the toilet doors inadvertently, sighed, "Why do you bother!" and then left.
After a long time, the person in the toilet stroked his chest and let out a long sigh of relief
When Zhou Wen returned to the banquet, he saw Fa Ge and others having a heated discussion together, so he asked: "What are everyone talking about? It's so intense!"
"You're finally here!" Hong Jinbao grabbed him, pulled him into the crowd and said, "Awen, tell me honestly, did you use money to bribe some of the judges?"
Not only Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, Huang Baiming, Wang Zuxian and others stretched their necks, but even Zhong Chuhong frowned and stared at him.
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Zhou Wen was a little confused and said, "Isn't it great that Aunt Hong got the award in the end?"
"But I more like know that you haveI haven't done anything behind my back. "Zhong Chuhong said seriously.
Zhou Wen smiled frankly: "No! In fact, Uncle Zhan reminded me very early on that Debao would take some dishonorable measures. Later, Xinli from Debao also reminded me like this. At that time, I knew that Pan Flute must have paid to bribe the judges.¡±
Zhou Runfa said depressedly: "Since you didn't spend any money, why did Honggu still get the prize in the end? It doesn't make sense at all."
"You can win the award, why can't Honggu win the award?" Zhou Wen asked back: "Stop making random guesses and believe in the fairness and impartiality of the judges."
"Damn, you said the judges took money from each other, they are so unfair!" Hong Jinbao laughed and scolded: "Stop beating around the bush, I know you must have done something secretly."
"I really didn't do anything. Compared to Debao, not only did I not do anything, I didn't even have any ideas!" Zhou Wen said frankly again.
"Believe it or not, you're a fool!" Xu Ke shook his head and said, "I heard that several core judges also received money. Besides, previous comments from the outside world said that you openly challenged Director Li Hanxiang if he voted against it at a critical moment. , with his influence"
Zhou Wen burst out laughing and said, "It seems that you have all misunderstood Director Li Hanxiang. Everyone, please sit down and listen to me. The truth is that Director Li Hanxiang not only did not object, he even voted in the affirmative. These are all things I said not long ago." I just found out"
It turns out that Zhou Wen did not know the inside story before, but when he was at the temporary reception desk, he was invited by Yi Xiujia to meet a few old friends, one of whom was Li Hanxiang. In addition, the famous film critic Shi Qi and the heads of several other labor unions were also there.
At first, Zhou Wen thought that Li Hanxiang wanted to use his status as an old-timer to criticize him, but Li Hanxiang smiled and praised Zhou Wen for doing well, praising him for not only his courage but also his talent. He also has the courage and courage to constantly challenge his predecessors, which is very rare in today's film industry.
After some exchanges, Li Hanxiang dropped a sentence: The Academy Awards Organizing Committee has realized the seriousness of the problem and will not give up fairness and justice just because a few judges collect bribes. Let Zhou Wen wait patiently for the final result, and I hope Chow can continue to take the lead, prosper the development of Hong Kong films, and contribute to the Academy Awards.
"In other words, we won in the end because of our relationship. We won because of the appreciation of you by several core judges?" Zhong Chuhong winked and smiled.
"No, tell me if you don't believe it. I think we won fairly." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"But after they collected the money, how could they talk about fairness?" Wang Zuxian said excitedly.
Zhou Wen spread his hands and said: "If it were said that Pan Di Sheng would receive letters of thanks from several orphanages in Hong Kong tomorrow, what do you think he would think?"
"Hahaha, he will definitely be torn into pieces!"
"Hahaha~~ I didn't expect that Pan Disheng spent money to do a great charity. Let's call him Pan Dasheng from now on!"
"I think all the orphans in Hong Kong will sincerely thank Pan Dashan for his kind deeds!"
"Brother, where is the world's limited edition sports car? Did he default on it?"
Zhou Wen glared at Zhou Cai'er and said, "Pan Di Sheng is not a defaulter, but don't worry about it. It won't be your turn to drive the car even if it's delivered to you!"
"I'm asking you kindly. If Pan Dashan defaults on his debt, I'll help you collect the debt!" Zhou Cai'er made a face.
Everyone burst out laughing after hearing this. This year¡¯s Academy Awards has been full of ups and downs, with gossip flying everywhere. Zhou Wen not only made a lot of money from the awards, but also left a deep impression on everyone.
¡¡Dividing line¡¡
The celebration banquet ended at around four in the morning, and Zhou Wen almost carried Zhong Chuhong home. After learning that she had won the title of Best Actress with her real acting skills, Honggu felt particularly relaxed, relaxed and naturally drank more wine. In the end, he just fell asleep in Zhou Wen's arms.
If Honggu hadn¡¯t been drunk, I¡¯m afraid everyone would still be unwilling to let Zhou Wen go home.
Unexpectedly, after returning home, Zhong Chuhong, who was originally drunk, woke up, which somewhat surprised Zhou Wen.
"You didn't drink too much?"
Zhong Chuhong blinked her charming eyes and said slyly: "Today is a big day in my life. I have never been so happy in my life. I originally wanted to get drunk and rest, but I always feel like there is something unfinished and I don't want to sweep it away." Everyone is interested, so I have to think of ways to pretend to be drunk."
As Hong Gu spoke, she held Zhou Wen's neck, and first gave her a suffocating wet kiss. Then she raised her hand and pushed Zhou Wen to the bed, shyly whispering: "Lie here and don't move. I'll go there." Come."
"What are you doing?" Zhou Wen lay on the bed and wondered.
? ?The time was not big, Zhong Chuhong came back with a tray, and saw many things placed on it, including grapes, strawberries, red wine, foreign wine, and even a few ice cubes.
Seeing these things, Zhou Wen was stunned subconsciously. When he was wondering if the next step was, Hong Gu had already taken off his pants very lightly.
"Hey, Ah Hong, you've never been so open-minded before."
Zhong Chuhong tied up her ponytail with a rubber band, smiled charmingly with spring eyes, picked up an ice cube in her mouth, and answered Zhou Wen directly with practical actions.
¡¡
"Awen, are you comfortable?" Zhong Chuhong asked charmingly.
"Hiss~what a good girl"
"Don't move, it's not over yet!" Honggu held Zhou Wen down, took another mouthful of red wine, and buried it again
¡omit n thousand words¡
The next morning, Zhou Wen rarely went out to practice boxing. Instead, he hugged Hong Gu and slept until the third day of the morning. It was not until the phone in the guest room rang that he got up.
The call was from Shao Hua. During the call, Shao Hua first congratulated Zhou on his big win last night, and then told Zhou Wen tactfully: If Zhou Wen has enough time, "Hong Kong Screening Room" wants to have the biggest impact on this year's Academy Awards. Winner Chow Films conducts an exclusive interview.
Perhaps influenced by Zhou Wen's advanced concepts, Shao Hua is currently extremely sensitive to publicity work. She instinctively felt that she should do a special program on this Academy Awards, but she still needed Zhou Wen's cooperation, and there were other phone calls. One purpose is to hear Zhou Wen¡¯s opinion.
"It's a good idea and very conclusive. You'd better contact the Academy Awards Organizing Committee. If the three companies join forces, the influence will be greater." Zhou Wen replied lazily.
"Really, that's great." Shao Hua said happily: "I will write the plan in half an hour. How about you help me review it?"
"Half an hour? Sister, you are not so impatient, can't you wait until the afternoon?" Zhou Wen said depressedly after hearing this.
"Why is it afternoon? It's already past nine in the morning. You haven't gotten up yet, have you?"
"You're right, I didn't get up, and I'm still naked. Do you want to come over and verify it?" Zhou Wen said with a smile.
¡°Fuck you, you damn gangster, you stinking gangster, I¡¯m too lazy to pay attention to you, the devil wants to see your naked body!¡± Shao Hua hung up the phone angrily.
