Huayu is free to do as you like

On August 7, the 26th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Awards Ceremony was held at the Dongshi Theater in the PD area.

At around 6 p.m., Gu Wei arrived outside the venue by car.

Compared with previous years, this year's Magnolia Awards was much smaller in scale. Not only did the most anticipated red carpet segment not get cancelled, but the number of guests present was also small.

However, there were still many media, especially online media.

Migu Video, Kuaishou, Douyin, Youku, and Tengxun Video, etc. It is easy to distinguish the media from the logos on the microphones and shooting equipment.

In addition to being broadcast on Dragon TV, this year's Magnolia Awards Ceremony will also be broadcast live on various online platforms.

After entering the venue, Gu Wei joined the rest of the crew of [Celebrating Yu Nian].

"Didn't Teacher Daoming come?" He asked Director Sun Hao after greeting everyone separately.

"I contacted him, and Teacher Chen said he had other things to do in Beijing and didn't come."

Gu Wei nodded, not too surprised.

I chatted with Ni Ni last month, and she told him that the filming of "Golden Years" had been completed.

Chen Daoming lives in Beijing, so he will definitely go back after the filming here.

Considering his status, the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Magnolia Awards doesn't seem to be that important, so it's normal that he didn't attend.

In the lounge backstage of the theater, various celebrities arrived one after another. Some directors and celebrities who were familiar with Gu Wei came forward to greet him when they saw him here.

"Gu Wei~"

"Sister Li, long time no see.

Isn't Brother Chao with you?"

Sun Li wore a white silk long skirt and had a neat short hair, looking very capable.

"What is he doing here? He has no works nominated.

Congratulations on being nominated for Best Actor again. [Joy of Life] is so popular, the chances of winning this time are not small."

"Haha, I wish you good luck.

Sister Li has also been nominated for Best Actress. If she wins the award later, it will be the third time that she has won the Magnolia Award. Isn't this the only one in China?"

Sun Li was nominated for Best Actress at this year's Magnolia Awards for her performance in the hit drama [Homecoming] at the beginning of the year.

She has won the Magnolia Award twice before, for [Hot Mom] and [Legend of Miyue], and is a popular candidate for this year's award.

"I would like to, but it depends on whether the teachers of the jury will give me a chance."

Sun Li smiled, obviously looking forward to the award tonight.

It was almost time for the ceremony to start, and all the guests entered and took their seats.

Gu Wei and the crew of [Joy of Life] sat in the front left position in the venue.

Next to him was the crew of [The Longest Day in Chang'an]. Lei Jiayin stood up and greeted Gu Wei when he saw him coming.

"I watched "The Longest Day in Chang'an", the acting was really good."

Gu Wei praised with a smile.

"You're too flattering, Brother Wei. Compared with "Joy of Life", the popularity and broadcast performance are far behind." Lei Jiayin smiled innocently and said modestly.

Lei Jiayin is from Ning Hao's circle, but he has a good relationship with Gu Wei.

The two knew each other as early as 8 years ago. Lei Jiayin played the leader of the robber trio "Brother Bei" in "Detective Chinatown 1" shot by Gu Wei.

At that time, he was still an unknown little actor.

Later, the two collaborated on "Blade of the Assassin 2" and "The Wandering Earth". Although Lei Jiayin played supporting roles, his fame and status have been rising little by little.

Over the years, Lei Jiayin has found a track that suits him very well in the film and television industry - the track of cowards.

Most of the characters he plays are cowardly and bullied, but they are very popular with the audience. He is like a fish in water in this track.

The two chatted for a few words, and the ceremony started soon.

Today's Magnolia Awards Ceremony was very straightforward. There was no performance. The awards were presented right away.

First, the awards with less attention, such as Best Animation, Best Documentary, and Best TV Variety Show, were presented.

After half of the time, the awards that everyone cared about the most, such as Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Actor and Actress, began to be presented.

The Best Supporting Actress was awarded to Tao Hong from "Little Joy", and the Best Supporting Actor went to Tian Yu from the "Celebrating More Than Years" crew.

After hearing the award host announce that he was the winner, Tian Yu stood up excitedly and hugged several people from the crew around him.

Gu Wei stood up and hugged him with a smile: "Congratulations~"

"Thank you~"

After that, he walked all the way to the stage.

Tian Yu graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, but because of his unremarkable appearance, he could only play supporting roles in various film and television dramas for many years after his debut, and he never became popular.

In the early days, everyone was most impressed by Tang Wei's ex-boyfriend.

It was not until he played "Teacher Wang" in "Charlotte's Troubles" that he left some impression on the audience.

The popularity of [Celebrating More Than Years] made his "Wang Qinian" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but this is also because Tian Yu's acting skills are mature. If someone else plays "Wang Qinian", it is likely that he will not be as likable as him. It can be regarded as a mutual complement between the role and the actor.

"Thank you for your love, thank you to the Magnolia jury for giving me this award, thank you to Director Sun, Gu Wei, Teacher Daoming and all the colleagues in the [Celebrating More Than Years] crew."

This is the first time that Tian Yu has won the Magnolia Award, and it is also the first time to be nominated. It is obvious that he is surprised and excited about winning the award.

After the acceptance speech, everyone applauded.

"I watched [Celebrating More Than Years], and Teacher Tian Yu's "Wang Qinian" is particularly good!" Lei Jiayin said to Gu Wei beside him while applauding.

"Old Tian is a rare golden supporting actor in the film and television industry, but he has never had a good opportunity before"

Gu Wei is very optimistic about Tian Yu. During the filming of "Qing Yu Nian", the two of them had the most scenes opposite each other, and he recognized Tian Yu's acting skills very much.

After the awards for supporting actors and actresses, it was the turn of the ceremony for the award for Best Actor and Actor, which received the most attention.

Yan Ni won this year's Magnolia Award for Best Actress for her wonderful performance in "Youth Pi", while the Best Actor was awarded to Mr. Chen Baoguo from "Old Tavern".

When the award was announced, Sun Li couldn't hide her disappointment. Gu Wei was lucky. Neither he nor Lei Jiayin, who was nominated for Best Actor next to him, had any reaction. After all, losing to Mr. Chen Baoguo was not a shame.

The Best Director Award was awarded to Wang Jun, the director of "Little Joy". Not only is this a director, he also likes to play roles in his own dramas.

In "Little Farewell", which was also directed by him, he played the role of Hu Xianxu's father and Chen Xiaoyun's husband.

After the last award was awarded, this year's Magnolia Award Ceremony officially ended. Gu Wei was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Mr. Gu!"

"Mr. Hou?"

The person who came was none other than Hou Hongliang from [Noon Sunshine].

"Do you have time later? Let's have dinner together?" Hou Hongliang invited.

"Mr. Hou came here alone?"

"I'm the only one here this time. [It's all good] I unexpectedly won this year's International Communication Award. I happened to be in Shanghai and came over to receive it."

Gu Wei understood that Hou Hongliang should be looking for him for something, so he smiled and said, "No problem, I haven't seen him for a long time. Let's get together with Mr. Hou."

After leaving the award ceremony venue, the two found a well-decorated restaurant nearby, ordered a few dishes and a bottle of liquor, and chatted while eating.

"It's a pity today. "Celebrating the Year" is a rare good movie, and it is definitely the most popular TV series this year. It makes sense for Magnolia to give you the best actor."

After finishing a small cup of wine, Hou Hongliang poured it over Gu Wei's cup, feeling a little sorry for him.

Gu Wei smiled: "[Qing Yu Nian] Fire is Fire, but it's too commercial, and it's not particularly good in terms of depth and emotion.

It’s normal not to win the award.”

"Recently, the company got a very interesting script, which is currently in the hands of director Sun Molong.

He wanted to invite Mr. Gu to star, and he originally planned to send you the script and invitation later, but he happened to meet me today and told me directly."

"Old Sun, he has gotten better and better in the past two years. I watched the movie [I Am Yu Huanshui] last year and it was very interesting."

The director Sun Molong mentioned by Hou Hongliang is also an old acquaintance of Gu Wei. He is Kong Sheng's royal camera director and has followed Director Kong since the earliest "Qianmenlouzi Jiuzhangjiu" and "Crossing Guandong".

Until the filming of "Nirvana in Fire", he and I were also the photographers on the crew.

In recent years, with the development of "Noon Sunshine", Sun Molong, who specializes in camera work, has also started to work as a director. "I Am Yu Huanshui" is the work he directed.

"This time it is also a short drama. It is estimated to only have more than ten episodes. The rhythm is tight but the content is very gripping."

"What drama?" Gu Wei had a hunch after hearing what Hou Hongliang said.

"It's called [The Beginning], and it's a TV series adapted from the novel of the same name. It tells a story about the cycle of time and space.

I'll have someone send you the script later."

Gu Wei nodded, it was indeed this drama.

He was still very impressed by "The Beginning". The concept of time and space cycle is rarely filmed in the domestic film and television industry, and the original time and space drama was very good.

However, the total number of episodes is only 15 and it is a web drama. This means that even if it is a big hit, the profit of the TV series itself will be extremely limited.

So Gu Wei didn't consider this drama at all when he was choosing the film he wanted to make.

"I just happened to read the original novel, which is similar to [Groundhog Day] and [Source Code]."

"Absolutely, it mainly tells the story of a bus explosion, the protagonist constantly going through time loops, and finally solving the case."

Gu Wei thought for a while: "My schedule is so full that I won't have time to film other movies in the past year."

He is somewhat interested in [The Beginning], but he really doesn't have the time.

Hou Hongliang said with a smile: "It's easy to say about the schedule. [Original] itself is a small production, and the shooting time will not be too long. As long as you can play the role, the crew will definitely use your time as the main one."

"Okay, let's talk about it after I go back and read the script."

The Magnolia Awards Ceremony is over, and the list of winners has sparked a wave of discussion on the Internet. The audience does not have much opinion on this year's results. Several award-winning actors are all capable, and everyone agrees that they can win the award.

Gu Wei failed to win the title of Magnolia Emperor for the second time, and many fans felt sorry for him.

[What a pity, "Celebrating More Than Years" is so good, why couldn't Gu Wei win the Best Actor award! 】

["Celebrating More Than Years" is the best drama I have watched this year. All the characters in it are very brilliant. Congratulations to Tian Yu for winning the Best Supporting Actor. I feel sorry for Gu Wei]

[Is it possible that Gu Wei failed to win the award because the other characters were too outstanding? "Celebrating More Than Years" gave me the impression that it was more of a group portrait.]

[Limit the subject matter. Although Gu Wei played Fan Xian very well, the TV series and the character itself limited his performance. 】

[Gu Wei did not lose unfairly. Anyone who has watched "Old Tavern" will know how outstanding Mr. Chen Baoguo's performance was. It is normal for him to win the award! 】

[Actually, I think "Celebrating More Than Years" is like a commercial film, with a wide audience and everyone likes to watch it.

Teacher Chen Baoguo's "Old Tavern" is a literary film, with a deeper connotation and greater room for actors to perform.

Obviously this time Magnolia values ​​the latter more.】

[Woo hoo, don’t be sad if you don’t win the award, brother. I bought a movie ticket for "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" and will go to the theater to support you when the movie is released in two days! 】

"There is a lot of discussion on the Internet about your failure to win the Magnolia Award, especially since many of your fans are fighting for you."

On the set the next day, Reba, who was resting aside, checked her cell phone and said.

"Fight for me?" Gu Wei frowned and took out his mobile phone to search for relevant news and discussions.

Then his brows slowly relaxed.

It's okay. Although many fans think it's a pity that he didn't win the award, the words were not too intense and there wasn't much media coverage.

When you are a celebrity, especially a popular celebrity, it is easy to offend many people without knowing anything about it.

For example, if Gu Wei did not win the Magnolia Award this time, if some irrational fans felt that Chen Baoguo had blocked the way of her brother, and thus slandered and abused Chen Baoguo online, once the number of people increased and the matter spread, Gu Wei would not know whether It offended Chen Baoguo even if he was in love, and it would also make many people feel bad about him.

This is how fans pay for their idols.

The more popular you are and the more fans you have, the more likely this situation will occur.

Therefore, traffic has always been a double-edged sword. Use it well to get twice the result with half the effort, but use it poorly to hurt others and yourself.

August 10th.

"Is your wife okay?"

"Right now, I'll just put on lipstick later."

Fu Xinbo, who was neatly dressed in the room, urged Ying'er impatiently.

"You started putting on your makeup after dinner, and I've been waiting for you for half an hour.

Nowadays, you wear a mask when you go out, and no one can see you even if you look so good.”

Ying'er finally finished cleaning up and trotted out of the room.

"That's different. I have to put on makeup whenever I go out, otherwise I feel very insecure."

Fu Xinbo was a little helpless and couldn't say anything.

The two of them went down to the underground parking lot of the community and drove out. After a while, they arrived at the shopping mall near their home.

After entering, I didn’t wander around, but went directly to Sparkle Roll International Cinema on the top floor.

"Why don't you buy a later movie ticket? It feels weird to go out to watch a movie in the morning."

After Fu Xinbo returned from exchanging tickets and buying drinks and snacks, Ying'er complained.

“The show at night was so popular that there were no good seats.

Anyway, we have nothing to do during the day, so it’s just right now.”

Ying'er took two movie tickets from Fu Xinbo, raised her phone to take a photo, then pulled her husband over, and the two took a photo.

"what?"

"Post on Weibo~" Ying'er replied without raising her head while pressing her phone.

"Okay, done!"

After finishing it, I looked happy and didn't forget to urge my husband.

"Log in to your own Weibo and post a similar Weibo like me. Just use the same photo as mine."

"You haven't watched the movie yet, and you're anxious to check in?" Fu Xinbo didn't understand. It's normal to check in and post on Weibo after watching a movie, but it's a bit abnormal for his wife to be in such a hurry, not to mention asking herself to do the same.

"My silly husband, do you really not understand or are you just pretending not to understand?

What are we doing out here? "

"Let's watch a movie. Didn't you say you want to watch Gu Wei's new film [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils]?"

“I want to watch a movie, but that’s not the point.

The most important thing today is that we post this on Weibo!

You are going to join the filming of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" next month. Have you forgotten that Jingtian got this role for you from Gu Wei?

Now that Gu Wei's new movie is released, although we are not big stars, we can still help promote it."

"Isn't this a bit too deliberate to please?" Fu Xinbo is a straight man.

"What's the name of flattery? It's not normal for friends to help each other.

You see, after today, there will definitely be many celebrities showing off their movie tickets, just like how everyone helped Gu Wei promote his movie on Weibo a few days ago.

Okay, stop the ink stains, I’ll do it for you.”

With that said, Ying'er took Fu Xinbo's cell phone over politely and started Weibo for him.
