Chapter 519: A Thousand Miles to Deliver Warmth, Taylor Swift Currently Offending

After nearly twenty days of filming, "Flowers and Youth" has reached its final stage.

When the program was first designed, the plan was to arrange visits to famous North American Hollywood landmarks, such as the Walk of Fame, Madame Tussauds, Paramount Pictures, and so on.

But since Wei Jin happened to receive a Golden Globe nomination, the production team made a slight adjustment, planning to let the guests participate in this grand event as tourists.

In addition, they would later visit the set of Wei Jin's new film; after all, the guests this season are all actors, and they have an innate yearning for Hollywood.

Arriving the night before the Golden Globes, the "Flowers and Youth" film crew finally reached Los Angeles, and Wei Jin received them at the Mr. C Hotel in Beverly Hills.

He thought it was a kind gesture, but he didn't expect it to arouse Shu Chang's suspicion.

"Boss Wei, we can't afford such a nice hotel. Could it be that there's some perverted task waiting for us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the guests changed drastically, and even Liu Yifei couldn't help but hold Wei Jin's arm, expressing her worry.

Because "Flowers and Youth" focuses on budget travel, although they had been having a good time, the budget for every place they visited was limited. If they stayed in a five-star hotel tonight, would they have to drink the wind for the next few days? Seeing everyone's reaction, Wei Jin knew that the production team must have pranked them quite a bit during the earlier filming, leaving them with psychological shadows.

So he explained with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm treating you privately today. It doesn't involve the program's filming. Your tasks only start tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Can we eat and drink whatever we want today, and sleep in big beds?"

Wei Jin was between laughter and tears, and could only guarantee with a solemn face: "Yes, tonight, Boss Wei is picking up the tab for everything."

"Yay, long live the boss!"

"Boss Wei is generous."

In a jubilant atmosphere, Wei Jin dined with the 7 guests and several heads of the directing team.

Perhaps because she had already been disciplined once on the plane, Dilraba behaved very obediently tonight, showing no intention of competing for favor, and instead deliberately kept her distance from Wei Jin.

As for Hu Jing, who once had a thing with Wei Jin, as time passed, the ripples had gradually smoothed out, and she could basically manage to get along as a friend.

Yang Xue herself had no particular pursuits; at the table, she only focused on burying her head in her food. In her eyes, the delicious delicacies on the table were far more attractive than Wei Jin, the boss.

Han Dongjun and Wang Yanlin, the two funny guys, were seeing Wei Jin for the first time. Not knowing how to handle the big boss, they didn't dare to actively liven up the atmosphere and appeared quite quiet.

On the contrary, Shu Chang, having spent a long time with Wei Jin, became increasingly natural, and complaints came easily to her lips.

Things like how the production team was inhumane, stingy, how transportation basically relied on walking, and communication basically relied on shouting.

Facing the complaints, Wei Jin didn't pay much attention; this was the program's effect itself.

Seeing Wei Jin unmoved, Shu Chang sighed helplessly, and could only pin her hopes on Liu Yifei using a beauty trap tonight to improve everyone's living conditions.

After the welcome banquet ended, watching Wei Jin and Liu Yifei leave, Shu Chang burped, a motherly smile appearing on her face.

Dilraba, on the other hand, looked very envious. She knew very well in her heart that, let alone compared to the several Jin Girls, even Liu Shishi, or even Wei Jin's several assistants, and even the female artists under Starry Sky Culture, their priority level in this man's heart was probably much higher than hers.

Thinking of this, Dilraba felt it was necessary to seek some changes.

Wei Jin had no time to worry about the thoughts of the North Xinjiang beauty right now. Just after arriving in the hotel room, he was pressed against the entryway by Liu Yifei in a wall-slam.

Her fiery red lips were pressed tightly against Wei Jin's, and her little clove-like tongue kept trying to drill inside.

Facing the girl's passion, Wei Jin naturally wouldn't be as unmoved as he was at the dinner party just now, and immediately responded, his hands also not falling behind.

After about two or three minutes, the girl finally couldn't hold back, and let go of Wei Jin with a flushed face.

"Brother, did you miss me?"

Feeling the girl's body temperature and breathing, Wei Jin's mouth curled up slightly, and he led her slender, delicate hand all the way down.

"Yifei, what do you think?"

Even though there was fabric in between, Liu Yifei still felt Wei Jin's passion, so she bit her red lips and slowly squatted down.

Soon, a warm-up operation spanning ten thousand miles began. It sounds a bit unbelievable, but as a bellwether for the Oscars, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is always held before the Oscar nominations.

But this year, the Oscar organizing committee didn't know what kind of madness had taken them, as they actually announced the nominations before the Golden Globe Awards, which made this year's Oscars full of suspense.

The media also had many speculations, wondering if the two had developed a huge deviation in aesthetics.

However, regardless of everything, the Golden Globe Awards, as a highly influential award in North America, still attracted a great deal of attention.

From the morning on, all kinds of media were reporting on Golden Globe news.

The content included major film crews, actors and stars, award venues, the Golden Globe red carpet, numerous crossover celebrities, and most importantly—predictions for the winners of major awards.

Perhaps because "Avatar" was mocked when it won, this year's Golden Globes had the highest buzz for films with a richer artistic temperament.

For example, "Les Misérables", "Argo", and even "Django Unchained" had high buzz.

This made the situation for "Gravity" and "Life of Pi", which had few nominations and won by visual effects, not very optimistic.

Regarding this, Wei Jin was very open-minded and quite calm about the awards ceremony.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei, who was attending the Golden Globes for the first time, appeared very excited. Although she had been whipped several rounds last night, she still got up before the makeup artist arrived in the morning.

For her, who loves to sleep in, this could be called a miracle.

Speaking of which, attending the Golden Globes this time, Liu Yifei's itinerary was very rushed, but the brand was very willing, and in just a few days, they had prepared the haute couture gown and various jewelry.

Taking advantage of the time the little girl was putting on makeup, Wei Jin went to another room to chat with the crew colleagues from the country, as well as Deputy Chairman La of China Film.

This Deputy Chairman was over fifty, had quite rich industry experience, and had extraordinary insight. Wei Jin chatted with him quite congenially.

Subsequently, Wei Jin chatted with Jin Zhiwen again.

As for why he was here, that had to go back to Wei Jin's earlier planning.

Because the status of an Oscar judge is granted by the Academy, usually to those who have been nominated or won major awards.

Therefore, when arranging the post-production of "Gravity", Wei Jin did not take the lead himself, but proposed the direction, and let others be responsible for participating.

The purpose was to make it convenient for these technical personnel to win awards together, paving the way for them to join the Academy. Although this could not 100% guarantee that these people could join the Academy, it was at least a path.

So the candidate for the Best Original Score award nominated at this Golden Globe was Wei Jin and Jin Zhiwen.

Jin Zhiwen could be said to be making a fortune while lying down, and he couldn't be happier. He specially spent a lot of money to customize a haute couture suit. It's just that his slightly short stature looked a bit ridiculous after putting it on, especially after comparing it with Wei Jin's tall stature, it was even more exposed.

After chatting for a while, Wei Jin returned to Liu Yifei's makeup room and saw that the little girl had already finished getting ready.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Wei Jin nodded, very satisfied.

Today's Liu Yifei was in a violet lace dress. Her left leg was completely covered by the long skirt, but her right leg revealed the part above the knee. This asymmetrical design, on the contrary, added a bit of strange beauty.

Paired with a three-color gemstone necklace and platinum diamond earrings, and light-colored makeup, the girl's exquisite face was set off even more beautifully, and her delicate skin also seemed more supple.

With one hand behind his back, Wei Jin leaned forward and extended his other hand to perform a gentleman's salute: "Let's go, my princess."

Liu Yifei smiled lightly: "Mm."

The venue for this year's Golden Globes was still the Hilton International Hotel in Beverly Hills, broadcast live by NBC.

Speaking of which, the Golden Globes had been getting bigger and bigger over the years. Last year's Golden Globe live broadcast had nearly 20 million viewers worldwide watching simultaneously, which could be called an unprecedented grand occasion.

In view of this, this year, with the participation of two Chinese directors, Wei Jin and Li An, the domestic side attached great importance to it and directly bought the broadcast rights, while the online broadcast rights were pocketed by Sina.

Today's awards ceremony started at 8 PM, but from 4 PM, major film crews had already begun to enter the venue one after another, and the red carpet live broadcast also officially began.

Although it was the middle of the night in the country, there were still many netizens waiting in front of the TV or computer screen for the first time, waiting for their favorite stars and artists to appear.

It is worth mentioning that because TV broadcasts were more about listening to the host's introduction and lacked much sense of participation, more viewers chose to watch the online live broadcast.

Eating spicy chicken feet, while enjoying the stars and artists, and chatting with netizens, wouldn't that be wonderful?

When the figures of Wei Jin and Liu Yifei appeared on the screen, the popularity of the domestic Sina live broadcast room soared instantly, and many netizens started discussions.

"Wow, the Fairy has killed her way from Venice to the Golden Globes. Will the next step be the Oscars? Is the Jin Girl hegemony battle that has been entangled for many years coming to an end?"

"What is the person above thinking? It's just that my Big Li is too Buddhist; otherwise, what business would Liu Yifei have?"

"Superficial, too superficial. A grand event like the Golden Globes, and you're actually discussing women competing for favor..."

"You're noble, you're amazing, go watch the TV broadcast."

"..."

Wei Jin didn't know about the screen in the live broadcast room. At this moment, he was holding the soft little hand of the dressed-up Liu Yifei, slowly walking onto the red carpet.

Handsome men and beautiful women are always easy to attract the attention of the media. As soon as the two stepped onto the red carpet, the flashlights in the hands of the media reporters on both sides kept shining.

Although it was her first time attending a North American grand event, Liu Yifei was not stage-frightened at all, her face filled with a confident smile, waving frequently at the media reporters on both sides of the red carpet.

It was as if she was declaring, Golden Globes, I, Liu Yifei, have arrived.

Walking past the red carpet, Wei Jin and his party entered the venue and found their table.

The scene of the Golden Globes is film crews sitting around a table, eating and drinking, and the atmosphere is relatively casual, not as serious as other awards ceremonies.

Before the awards ceremony officially started, it was a social session, and many people came to greet Wei Jin.

After all, a director who can both win awards and achieve huge commercial success, and who also holds a wealth of resources in both Eastern and Western film circles, is truly rare.

For example, Weinstein's little honey, Big Sister Jennifer Lawrence. When this woman shook hands with Wei Jin, she didn't behave very honestly and scratched his palm.

If she weren't unfamiliar with Wei Jin, she probably would have wanted to come up and give a cheek kiss.

Of course, there were also many among them who were purely because of friendship, such as Taylor Swift, whom he had had a few nights of pleasure with and hadn't seen for a long time.

"Wei, long time no see."

After speaking, Taylor didn't care at all, came up directly and gave Wei Jin a hug, followed by a cheek kiss.

Left cheek, right cheek, making others at the table look strange.

"Taylor, it's really been a long time, you look beautiful today."

Wei Jin praised politely. 24-year-old Taylor, in a black gown tonight, with big golden waves, was indeed full of charm.

"Thank you for your compliment. I am a performance guest tonight. If you have time after the awards ceremony, can you communicate music with me? I am very much looking forward to you bringing me new inspiration."

Taylor's mouth held a smile. Although she had had other partners over the years, compared to Wei Jin, she could deeply feel the gap.

Of course, she also recognized Wei Jin's attainments in music and genuinely wanted to communicate.

"Oh, sorry, Taylor, the time is not very convenient, let's talk about it another time..."

Feeling the pain coming from his waist, Wei Jin refused solemnly.

I have to say, North American women are very open. With so many people here, didn't you see the Fairy's eyes were as big as the same age? This is currently offending!

"Alright, I know you are going to shoot a new film in North America, I will come to visit the set, and we will communicate then..."

Facing Wei Jin's polite refusal, Taylor didn't show the slightest displeasure, looking at him with a smile.

As expected, Wei Jin's waist was attacked again, but he could only smile and nod: "Mm, no problem, my friend."

"Then it's a deal, see you."

Watching Taylor's departing back, Liu Yifei pouted, her tone a bit sour: "Brother, she is so beautiful, especially those fox eyes, really seductive..."

"Cough, Yifei, what are you thinking? Taylor and I are really communicating music, and besides, I often ask her for help..."

Wei Jin felt a bit wronged. Since "Twilight 2", he hadn't had a friendship hookup with Taylor again.

Although they had quite a bit of private contact, that was all for film promotion.

No way, Taylor's development in recent years was really against the sky. Not only did every album sell well, but she was also impeccable in terms of awards.

Since her debut, she had swept more than a dozen major awards such as the Country Music Television Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards, and Grammy Awards in North America.

She could be called a genius monster in the North American music scene, with fans all over the world, red to purple, absolutely the best tool person for film promotion.

"Is that so? But I always feel that her intentions are not pure..."

"Stop with the 'buts', the awards ceremony is about to start."
