Chapter 360: Chen Nuo of Beijing Film Academy

The Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award are two major film awards in China, and they both belong to the "China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival."

This film festival is held once a year, and the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award take turns awarding prizes each year.

This year, 2010, it was the turn of the Hundred Flowers Award.

The Hundred Flowers Award was founded in 1962 and has always emphasized "mass choice."

Chen Nuo has participated in quite a few film festivals and award ceremonies, at least he has been to most of the major film festivals in Asia, Europe, and America.

But looking back, he feels that the selection mechanism of the Hundred Flowers Award can be called the most exciting in the world.

The final winners of the Hundred Flowers Award are not decided in advance by professional judges and put into envelopes like Cannes or the Oscars, and then revealed by guests on the night of the awards.

It has no envelopes.

The presenters go on stage just to briefly introduce the nominated films, and the real winners are voted on the spot by 101 on-site judges after the presenter announces the start of voting.

The whole process is like electing a class monitor.

Logically speaking, this mechanism should make the entire award process full of suspense and excitement.

Because these 101 judges are screened layer by layer from the voting fans in more than 20 provinces and cities across the country, their occupations cover students, civil servants, soldiers, etc., and their gender distribution is also uneven, their preferences, emotions, and even their mood that night may affect the results, and their tendencies are completely unpredictable.

For example, Zhao Wei was nominated for Best Actress this time for "Painted Skin" and "Mulan," and might have won 5 million votes out of the 7 million votes in the preliminary selection, with great momentum.

However, who can guarantee that these 101 randomly selected people happen to be her supporters?

101 out of 7 million, the probability is so low that it is almost metaphysical, and the setting of a small sample representing a large population is absolutely full of drama. Until the last vote is cast, no one dares to assert who the winner is.

Likewise, there is absolutely no such thing as a hot or cold favorite, because everything is full of variables, and everything cannot be taken for granted.

Still that sentence.

Logically, it should be like this.

If it were really like this, Liu Yifei would definitely have returned from Japan to sit in the audience, hoping that the first Best Actress crown in her life would fall from the sky.

And Chen Nuo would definitely not walk the red carpet with this kind of mentality.

At least he would still be a little bit nervous.

He wouldn't be walking with tonight's Best Director nominee Zhang Yimou, Best Newcomer nominee Jiang Ruijia, and Best Supporting Actress nominee Professor Xi Meijuan, his state relaxed and comfortable, as if he had returned home.

The thick voice of the local Jiangyin male host spread throughout the audience, "Now getting off the car is the 'Under the Hawthorn Tree' crew, let's welcome Director Zhang Yimou and his party..."

Speaking of which, this was Chen Nuo's first time walking a film festival red carpet in China.

The red carpet, a hundred meters long and five or six meters wide, was separated by iron fences on both sides, each crowded with two or three rows of fans.

Chen Nuo roughly estimated that from the place where he got off the car to the entrance of the Jiangyin Grand Theatre, there were at least one or two thousand people.

Compared with ordinary premieres, whether it was the atmosphere or the anticipation, it was much stronger.

The cheers of fans on both sides of the red carpet came one after another, making his mood, which was already very good because Summit Entertainment softened, even better.

Not only did he wave to both sides frequently, but he was also ready to sign an autograph.

As a result, just as he got closer, that iron fence might not have been tied tightly with the ones on both sides, and it collapsed all of a sudden.

Chen Nuo was also a person who exercised for a long time, at least he could manage basic limb coordination and quick eyes and hands.

He pulled the girl at the very front over, not letting her be pressed to the ground by the people behind, otherwise it would be hard to say if something would happen.

Then, after all, this was in China, and everyone was used to being law-abiding. Except for three or four fanatical female fans who took the opportunity to rush over and hug him without letting go, which took some effort to pull away, the rest of the people immediately returned to their original positions under the urging of the security guards.

In the end, this accident could only be counted as a small episode on the red carpet.

The female host on the scene also asked with a smile during the interview: "Chen Nuo, I saw that your reaction was really fast, were you not scared at the time?"

Chen Nuo certainly wouldn't say that a layer of white goosebumps rose on his back at that moment, and that grabbing that girl from the Jiangyin Vocational School was purely a conditioned reflex.

"No."

"Ah, why? Is it because you often walk the red carpet abroad, so you are already used to such scenes?"

This question was really a bit awkward.

However, sigh, everyone is making a living.

Chen Nuo also understood that this host who was almost as tall as him in high heels was just trying to pluck him twice to increase the TV ratings of this Hundred Flowers Award.

This question was obviously thought of on the spot, so naturally, she couldn't think of a good one.

Chen Nuo also expressed understanding of this.

However, Chen Nuo was not prepared to follow the ladder she handed over to brag about himself, "That's not the case. Contrary to what you said, I'm not afraid because I'm in China. If it were in America, you should see me running from that end to this end."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yimou beside him laughed, and Xi Meijuan laughed. Jiang Ruijia, who came to rub the red carpet again, also laughed.

The female host also laughed very happily, but didn't forget her duty, and continued to ask: "Thank you, Chen Nuo. One last question, I saw that you later signed for the girl you saved, can you reveal what you wrote in her notebook?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said: "It was something like 'study hard and make progress every day'."

"Chen Nuo saves people on the red carpet (Explosive)"

"7.8 magnitude earthquake occurred near Sumatra (New)"

"Chen Nuo says 'Memory of Jiangnan' is a poem (New)"

"The 30th Hundred Flowers Award Jiangyin opening red carpet is in progress"

"iPhone 4 protective case"

"The girl saved by Chen Nuo speaks out (New)"

"RMB maintains exchange rate stability"

"Taylor Swift's new album"

"Zhao Wei's dress is so beautiful"

"Zhou Xun and Chen Kun walk the red carpet hand in hand (New)"

Hearing Tong Liya opened her newly acquired iPhone 4 during the break, while Yang Mi and Zhang Xinyi were chatting beside her.

The play these few days was a play where several leads were together, so the people were quite complete. Several women sat on one side to rest, while male actors like Li Chen and Zhang Yi were chatting and laughing with the director.

Her iPhone 4 didn't have the signal gate problem, and she didn't need any protective case to strengthen the signal.

Just opened the Sina Weibo app on it, and seeing the top ten entries on the trending list, Hearing Tong Liya couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Especially the entry that was currently topped at number one, which was really a bit sensational. Whether it was saving people or being saved, in short, it didn't feel like a good thing.

Her heart suddenly lifted, and she hurriedly clicked in to take a look.

After reading the text news reported by Sina Entertainment, she clicked on the short video attached below the news.

Watching the video, the man grabbed the slightly chubby girl in red clothes and protected her behind him, his movements were fast and extremely clean, and then he took a few steps back facing the crowd, feeling like an action movie.

Once, twice, three times... Hearing Tong Liya repeated that video of less than 20 seconds many times without knowing it.

Looking a bit distracted, so much so that she was a bit imaginative.

Being with him really gave her a sense of security.

It turned out this wasn't an illusion, he really was such a person who would protect the weak in the face of crisis.

She didn't misjudge the person.

It's just why there is a Liu Yifei between him and her... if only there were no Liu Yifei, if only she could have met him earlier.

Sigh.

"Eh? Is this Chen Geshen?"

A voice suddenly popped up from her ear, Hearing Tong Liya's hand shook, and her phone almost fell to the ground.

"Hahahahaha, why are you so nervous, feeling like you did something bad."

Hearing Tong Liya pretended to smile nonchalantly and said: "No, you spoke suddenly, I was startled."

Yang Mi said "oh," curiously: "What are you looking at? Is it Chen Nuo or not?"

"Yes, it's him."

Hearing Tong Liya handed her phone forward, "You look."

"Ah! Handsome."

"Wow, so handsome!"

Yang Mi and Zhang Xinyi finished watching together, and one of them screamed.

Hearing Tong Liya suddenly felt a faint sense of pride in her heart, this is my man.

Yang Mi laughed: "Chen Geshen has to show off even when walking the red carpet, I'm really convinced by him."

Zhang Xinyi followed and said: "He didn't do it on purpose, this counts as seeing righteousness and acting bravely, a hero saving a beauty."

Yang Mi said: "Hi, you don't understand. I know him, this person, if there is a chance to show off, he will never let it go. Think about when I lived with him, he posed in front of me every day, and I was too lazy to ignore him."

"Really or fake?"

"Really, is this fake. I lived with him... for three or four months, seeing each other every day."

Hearing Tong Liya smiled without saying a word on the side.

At first, Yang Mi said this, she felt very uncomfortable, but later after asking clearly, the uncomfortable feeling faded a bit.

But there was still a bit.

Mainly because you are an actress, and you talk about living with someone everywhere, and you keep calling him Chen Geshen, Chen Geshen, feeling like you are afraid that others don't know you have a special relationship with him, and you are not comfortable if you can't spread rumors, isn't this too much?

At least Hearing Tong Liya felt that if it were her, she definitely couldn't do this.

Perhaps this is what others call a Beijing girl?

Hehe.

Hearing Tong Liya took back her phone from Yang Mi and started reading again.

She wouldn't look at the comment section of this Weibo, because his fans would say things she could generally guess. It should be similar to Yang Mi and the others' thoughts.

Click on the one that says "Chen Nuo says there is a poem in the Chinese textbook."

Wow, this entry is really too lively.

"Is 'Memory of Jiangnan' a poem? I thought it was a Ci. #Chen Nuo says Memory of Jiangnan is a poem#"

"Brother Nuo's Chinese teacher's coffin lid is about to be unable to be pressed down. #Chen Nuo says Memory of Jiangnan is a poem#"

"I am from Jiangsu, I say Memory of Jiangnan is a poem! #Chen Nuo says Memory of Jiangnan is a poem#"

"Exposed, Brother Nuo, your persona as the first in the Beijing Film Academy entrance exam feels like it's going to collapse. #Chen Nuo says Memory of Jiangnan is a poem#"

"Ci title 'Memory of Jiangnan', author Bai Juyi, primary school third-grade Chinese textbook. Nuomi, what should we do? I want to spray him, but he was indeed very handsome when he saved people just now. #Chen Nuo says Memory of Jiangnan is a poem#" "Sorry, from the moment Chen Nuo recited 'Memory of Jiangnan', it is a poem. I am a Jiangnan person, outsiders shut up."

"Too handsome! Perhaps this is called both literary and martial arts! Martial can save people, literary can recite poems (laughing and crying)."

Watching, Hearing Tong Liya couldn't help but laugh.

Just about to click on the next trending search, to see what the girl he saved said, at this time, Yang Mi suddenly asked again: "Yaya, have you met Chen Nuo recently?"

"Ah?"

Hearing Tong Liya panicked in her heart, pretended to be blank, and looked up: "No. What's wrong?"

Yang Mi laughed: "Didn't he teach you acting? You haven't been in touch since then?"

Hearing Tong Liya shook her head: "No more."

Yang Mi curled her lips and said: "Then next time he comes to Beijing to eat with me, do you want me to call you?"

Hearing Tong Liya hesitated and said: "Would that be not very good?"

"What's wrong with this, you are master and apprentice, you can't not recognize people after filming the play? Forget it, don't push it, he is like this, cold and hot, making people unpredictable, but his heart is not bad. It is estimated that he just forgot you. Alright, that's it, I will contact you then."

Hearing Tong Liya's left hand was placed on the side, desperately pinching her thigh, letting a trace of painful struggle appear on her face, and nodded: "Then... then okay. Thank you."

Yang Mi hehe said: "It's okay. Xinyi, do you want to be together?"

Zhang Xinyi was surprised: "Ah? Can I be together too?"

"Hi, what's this, what's my relationship with him, just say a word, if he hadn't practiced singing with me back then, could he have sung so well on the Spring Festival Gala? Impossible..."

Hearing Tong Liya listened to Yang Mi's words, looking at Zhang Xinyi's excited and happy face.

She didn't think Zhang Xinyi liked him that much, and this face was mostly pretended for Yang Zixi.

But this has nothing to do with her.

She was just a bit annoyed now, no matter how well-informed Weibo was, it couldn't compare to a live broadcast. It's a pity she was filming now, couldn't see the award ceremony, and didn't know what the situation was over there.

His Best Actor, will it really be as he said, in the bag?

The hosts of the 30th Hundred Flowers Award were a very magical combination, one was Tao Jingying from Taiwan, China, and the other was Tu Jingwei from CCTV-6.

Tu Jingwei was an old acquaintance of Chen Nuo, who had even run to his Long'an home to interview him, and later had contact a few times.

Obviously, Tu Jingwei also felt it was quite rare to see him here, and when she and Tao Jingying gave the opening remarks, her eyes glanced at him here several times.

Hmm, it should be looking at him...

It wouldn't be looking at Donnie Yen?

The seats of the Hundred Flowers Award were arranged according to the awards, he was sitting on the left with Donnie Yen, who was competing for Best Actor here for three films "Bodyguards and Assassins", "Ip Man", and "Painted Skin", and on the right was Zhang Guoli, who was nominated for Best Actor for playing Chiang Kai-shek in "The Founding of a Republic".

To be honest, meeting Zhang Guoli was very awkward.

Because of Zhang Mo's matter, although the two still smiled, greeted, shook hands, and nodded after meeting, feeling like nothing happened. However, after sitting down, Zhang Laoshi communicated with Chen Kun on his other side from beginning to end, which showed that this matter was not really over.

Chen Nuo also knew a little bit about the reason.

It seems that in this year, Zhang Mo only appeared in a few small productions, not even a protagonist, it is estimated that being kicked out of the "Let the Bullets Fly" crew had a significant impact on his career.

Also because of this, it seems that the people he didn't get along with in the domestic entertainment industry had added another big shot.

Alright, add more if you want.

Anyway, it's just like that.

Didn't see Han Sanping's smile was cold when he saw him today.

But who can blame this?

Blame him?

Or blame Avatar for selling well, leading everyone to know that 3D is a treasure bowl?

But back then he was considered benevolent and righteous. Han Sanping's belly was like this, and he had no choice.

Plus the Wang brothers of Huayi... tsk tsk, he really felt like he had many opponents in the domestic entertainment industry tonight.

Fuck, having said that, won't the awards tonight have variables?

When the award ceremony started,

The big screen first broadcast a short film paying tribute to the 30-year history of Hundred Flowers, which gathered many big names, such as Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Ge You, etc.

I don't know what the short film meant, anyway, Chen Nuo looked like he understood it half-heartedly, at this time, he heard Donnie Yen beside him say in a very heavy Cantonese accent: "Didn't call you to go?"

Actually, the two met for the first time, and they just shook hands and said hello before, but Donnie Yen's tone, without honorifics or politeness, felt like he had known him for a long time.

Chen Nuo also followed his tone and replied: "No."

"Ah, why?"

Chen Nuo said: "Don't know. But didn't they call you either?"

Donnie Yen hehe said: "I'm in Hong Kong."

Chen Nuo laughed: "Hong Kong is also China."

"Yes, but it's still inconvenient."

"Then I am too, I'm in the countryside of Sichuan, also inconvenient."

Donnie Yen laughed, "Are you learning to speak like me?"

Chen Nuo laughed: "No, I'm going to Hong Kong in a while, adapting in advance."

"Going to see your ex-girlfriend?"

"Brother, you are a bit gossipy."

"Hahahahaha. It's okay, your news, I have to look at it every day, shaking in front of my eyes."

Maybe people and people talk about aura, Chen Nuo's aura didn't match Zhang Guoli, but it matched Donnie Yen quite well.

Two hosts chatting above, they chatting below, even talking more and more deeply.

"... How much did you pay for the expatriation tax at that time?"

"20% something."

"Really black."

"American ZF is like this. Why do you ask this, oh, is your girlfriend also preparing to expatriate?"

Fuck, Chen Nuo was really a bit surprised.

It's not surprising that Donnie Yen knew his girlfriend was Liu Yifei, what's surprising is that he actually knew Liu Yifei was an American.

"There is such a plan."

"Then it's best to be fast, so as not to be more and more popular in the future, earning more and more money, and then really heart-broken to death."

"Um."

Chen Nuo and Donnie Yen were discussing an American tax type that might not be known to many people.

It is when an American gives up American citizenship, if your net assets reach 2 million US dollars or more, then the American ZF will levy 20% of your total assets as a tax for giving up citizenship.

If you have 2 million in net assets, you pay 400,000, and if you have 20 million, you pay 4 million US dollars.

This is called expatriation tax.

Black, right?

To put it bluntly, it's knowing that they can't cut your leeks anymore, and you have no value to America, so they come for a ruthless cut at the end.

It can be seen that America is really a lighthouse.

Doing things, really have to learn more from others, don't be soft-hearted, to do big things.

However, Chen Nuo didn't talk because Donnie Yen expatriated and returned in 2005, and now everyone has the same nationality. He and his girlfriend have different nationalities, aren't they sleeping on the same bed?

The first is the personality reason.

And there is the life background of the two, which is quite similar.

Donnie Yen lived in the US when he was a child, and lived in China when he was an adult. And Chen Nuo in his previous life, basically can be said to be the other way around.

So, the two really have a lot to talk about, and even kept talking, kept talking,

Talking until Zhang Ziyi finished singing with her hard-to-evaluate voice,

Talking until hosts Tao Jingying and Tu Jingwei appeared together, first interviewed International Zhang, and then started to introduce the various achievements of this Hundred Flowers Award.

Talking until Tao Jingying started to insert jokes, a cameraman came to their seat, started to poke his face with a camera,

Chen Nuo and Donnie Yen closed their mouths and didn't speak.

I saw Tao Jingying holding a microphone and came to the seat of the 101 on-site judges this year, and started to interview.

The interview object was a beautiful woman wearing a Uyghur hat.

After checking the household registration, Tao Jingying asked: "Ayiguli, can you roughly reveal to us, who do you prefer for Best Actor tonight?"

Ayiguli said: "I like them all."

In the laughter of the audience, Chen Nuo's whole face appeared on the big screen unexpectedly, along with most of Donnie Yen's face beside him, and one-fifth of Zhang Laoshi Guoli's face.

But immediately switched back, only to see Tao Jingying laugh: "Looks very confidential. Then if someone gives you a flying kiss now, will the votes be better?"

Ayiguli said seriously: "Then I will consider it."

Immediately, Chen Nuo's smile appeared on the big screen again, full of the laptop screen on the desk of bed 4, room 322 of the Beijing Film Academy girls' dormitory.

Yang Zi said: "This is all arranged."

Dilireba was a bit suspicious: "Why do you say that?"

Yang Zi said: "Definitely, otherwise how could the camera happen to be next to him when Taozi asks about male actors?"

Dilireba said "oh," watching the man's smiling face on the screen flash by, and returned to Tao Jingying's side.

Tao Jingying started to walk towards the guest seats, saying as she walked: "Since this is the case, then who should we give the opportunity to? I think, why not give it to a rare guest we rarely see at domestic award ceremonies, Mr. Chen Nuo."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Jingying also walked to the several men of the old, middle-aged, and young generations in the first row.

And the boss of her current brokerage company, the one who played her around, also caused her to be called by the teacher to check every day, and even became a ghostly acting class representative, demonstrating for people every day, the one surnamed Chen, was sitting there, full of smiles.

Dilireba looked at his face, really hating him.

Indeed, she was a frog in the well, she had no knowledge, she was a country girl from Xinjiang, didn't know that there was someone in the world who could make her a campus celebrity surpassing Yang Zi with just one Weibo, making the heat she was worried about become a joke.

However, this doesn't mean he can play her.

What does it mean that she can choose whatever she wants after a week?

After Dean Zhang chatted with her, a few days later, the Acting Academy directly issued a new regulation.

Saying that those who had signed contracts before would not be held accountable and could continue to perform. However, starting from the 2010 class, freshman and sophomore students were not allowed to take on roles outside, nor were they allowed to sign with brokerage companies.

This time, it completely poked a hornet's nest, and everyone in the acting department was complaining.

Likewise, Yang Zi, who knew that this matter was caused by her, didn't speak to her for three full days.

Dilireba looked at the man on the laptop screen, hating him.

All of this was caused by him!

"Chen Nuo of Beijing Film Academy, not Beijing Film Academy's Chen Nuo," it turned out it wasn't really what the seniors on the BBS were saying!

Black, too black.

"Come, Chen Nuo, stand up quickly. Now I'll give you a chance to pull votes for our 101 judges." Tao Jingying said.
