Chapter 79: Filming a scene with Old Wang's big sunglasses— that's wearing out the old man!

It's like the Hundred Flowers Award, such an important awards ceremony.

The seats in the inner area are fixed, arranged according to one's status in the circle.

Those in the front are basically capital, or like actors with extremely high status in the circle, such as Li Xuejian, Chen Daiming, Chen Baoguo...

For stars with slightly higher stature, the organizers will call their agents in advance, thus also avoiding seating two enemies together.

Actually, these are all fine.

Participating in whatever awards ceremony, activity.

The biggest taboo is sitting in the wrong seat.

There have been cases where a three-character male movie star, by mistake, sat in the wrong seat, resulting in being blacklisted.

However.

Lin Mo is relatively special.

Yes, his seat is in the first row.

Originally, though.

He is a new director in the circle; even if he directed two box-office hit films, he could only sit in the second or third row.

But he is also capital.

So the organizers are not stupid.

This is not.

The live broadcast switched the camera to Lin Mo's side.

When the audience saw him and Jiang Wen, Liu Dehua chatting heatedly.

Good fellow!

They all stared dumbfounded.

"Holy shit!"

"Who is this young person?"

"Hiss.. Is Lin Mo's status in the circle really that high?"

"Joking, he's now capital—his net worth from 《Charlotte's Trouble》 and 《The Richest Man in Xihong City》 probably amounts to several dozen small goals!"

"666!"

"Fun fact, Lin Mo is still a senior in college, and more terrifyingly, he's only 22..."

"Both in our early twenties, why are you so awesome!"

"What a role model for us!"

"......"

In the live stream, the barrage went crazy, filling the screen nonstop.

Lin Mo also didn't expect that the person sitting next to him was Hua Ge.

"Lin Mo, hello hello, I heard this year's Hundred Flowers Award invited you, so I specially asked the organizers to move my seat next to you~" Hua Ge greeted Lin Mo with a smile.

Hearing this.

Lin Mo felt deeply honored and quickly said: "Hua Ge, you are my idol; my mother especially likes you!"

He wasn't lying when he said that.

His mother really is a fan of Hua Ge; whenever Hua Ge appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, she would get the most excited.

Hua Ge laughed and patted Lin Mo's shoulder, not taking it seriously, just thinking Lin Mo was being polite.

The Hundred Flowers Award ceremony hasn't officially started yet.

The seated celebrities were all whispering to each other.

Re Ba, Xiao Tian, and them.

They sat in the back rows.

After all.

They don't have much fame.

Re Ba also enthusiastically introduced Bai Lu to Xiao Tian.

The three girls were all attending such a grand awards ceremony for the first time, and they were quite excited.

Not long after.

Accompanied by a grand, majestic BGM.

The 33rd Popular Hundred Flowers Award officially begins!

Indeed, just as he had guessed.

Of the six awards 《Charlotte's Trouble》 was nominated for, it ended up winning only Best Supporting Actress!

The Best Supporting Actress award went to Wang Zhi.

After she went on stage, she was extremely excited.

This is her first award after so many years in the industry.

"The person I most want to thank is Director Lin!"

"Thank you, Director Lin!"

On stage, Wang Zhi, tears of gratitude, bowed toward Lin Mo's direction.

The director immediately switched the camera to him.

Lin Mo, meanwhile, smiled and nodded.

It's a film awards ceremony.

The highest-value awards are nothing more than these two.

Best Actor, Best Actress, that is, the so-called film emperor and film empress.

As expected, Hua Ge failed to win again.

This year's Best Actor is Deng Chao!

Thanks to his role as Xin Xiaofeng in "The Scorching Sun", he won the Best Actor award!

And the Best Actress is Zhang Ziyi, whose nominated role was Gong Er in "The Grandmaster".

Thinking about the filming duration of that movie, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hua Ge, do you all really like shooting Wang Dao's films that much?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"Before, I wanted to shoot them, but now..." Liu Dehua said, revealing a smile.

Those who understand, understand.

After all, shooting Wong Kar-wai's films is like staying up late for an old man.

Take "The Grandmaster" for example, it was filmed for a full eight years!

A film taking eight years to shoot is basically "Big Sunglasses Wang".

Hua Ge also told him some gossip.

He said that when Liang Chaowei filmed this movie, a smoking action took half a month; he thought it was done, but the next day Wong Kar-wai told him it wasn't okay and he had to reshoot; as for the reason, they simply said the weather wasn't good.

Also, Wong Kar-wai likes to confiscate people's passports when filming, mainly because he's afraid actors will run away mid-shoot.

Lin Mo had heard of this before in his previous life.

In "The Grandmaster", the actor who played Zhang Yongcheng is Bangzi Country actress Song Hye-kyo.

At the time of filming, Song Hye-kyo expressed her dissatisfaction to Wong Kar-wai; as a result, Wong Kar-wai, fearing she might sneak away, specially assigned staff to guard her passport.

There are still many such incidents.

Back when filming "Happy Together", he had already confiscated the passports of Liang Chaowei and Leslie Cheung; for this, Leslie Cheung publicly declared he would never work with Wong Kar-wai again.

Moreover, when Zhang Ziyi gave her acceptance speech on stage, she also threw in a couple of complaints about Wong Kar-wai.

Two hours later.

The Hundred Flowers Award ceremony officially ended!

This trip, although Lin Mo didn't win any award himself,

he still gained a lot.

He met many people.

Backstage.

Lin Mo specially used his phone to make a video call to his mother far away in Chuan Province.

"Hey, son!"

On the other end of the video, his mother was watching TV.

"Mom, look who's beside me!"

Lin Mo said, then shifted the camera to the side.

When his mother saw Hua Ge's true appearance,

she was instantly stunned.

Good heavens!

In the following few minutes,

Lin Mo actually saw his mother become shy.

My goodness!

After hanging up the video call, Lin Mo smiled and turned to Hua Ge, saying: "Hua Ge, look, I told you my mom is your fan, but you didn't believe me~"

Hua Ge happily patted Lin Mo's shoulder and laughed: "Your mom really looks young and beautiful; it seems your fine looks are inherited from her good genes!"

Upon hearing that,

Lin Mo laughed: "Hua Ge, why do you always love speaking the truth~"

"Hahaha, you little rascal!"

Afterwards, the two chatted a few more sentences.

Hua Ge said that if there's a good script in the future, they can come to him.

He also said he hopes they'll have a chance to collaborate.

Lin Mo readily agreed.

Actually,

Hua Ge has filmed quite a few movies in recent years.

However, his luck hasn't been great; the scripts he's gotten aren't very good.

Of course, there are also many worldly matters involved, unavoidable.

Lin Mo then went to chat with Director Jiang and Director Xu for a while.

"Sister Ziyi, congratulations! Best Actress, truly well-deserved!" Lin Mo said with a smiling face.

Zhang Ziyi smiled and waved her hand: "Director Lin, I was just lucky."

"Sister Ziyi, if Director Wang invites you to collaborate again next time, would you still take his film?"

Thinking back to how Zhang Ziyi had just complained about Wong Kar-wai on stage, Lin Mo was very curious.

Upon hearing that, Zhang Ziyi immediately shook her head: "No, I definitely won't take it!"

As soon as she said that, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kai, and the others gathered nearby also burst out laughing.
