Chapter 813: Farewell My Concubine

Once uploaded, the song "As Love Becomes the Past" immediately topped the charts on all major music platforms.

This song is the movie theme song for "Farewell My Concubine".

The lyrics and music were created by Li Zongsheng.

On Earth, it was mainly popular in two versions.

One is naturally the version sung by the late Zhang Guorong. The other is the duet version by Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian.

The latter were a married couple, though they later divorced, and when paired with this song title, it carries quite an emotional weight.

Nowadays, many listeners on Blue Star find the lyrics somewhat puzzling when listening to this new song by Luo Mo.

"Some lyrics feel like they shouldn't be sung by a male voice."

"Look at this line of lyrics: 【Do not linger in the years, my unintentional tenderness is manifold.】"

This makes everyone feel that this song should perhaps be sung by a female Singer, or as a duet between a man and a woman.

However, as the creator, Luo Mo certainly knows better than anyone what he is writing.

So, is there... some deeper meaning to the strangeness of the lyrics?

Judging by the current situation, "Farewell My Concubine" is set to be released during the Shuji Dang.

Luo Mo plans to set the release date for July 1st.

The preliminary promotional work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Besides this, he has also finished writing the script for "Incessant" with his team.

This script can be said to have been thoroughly Hollywood-ized while retaining some of the essence of "Infernal Affairs".

As mentioned before, the most classic rooftop scene in "Infernal Affairs" was originally arranged for Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei to have a fight on the rooftop, but it was later felt that this was not good, so it was modified into a god-tier classic sequence.

But these introverted, profound things are not liked by Hollywood.

Therefore, in "Incessant", which won multiple Oscars, the two protagonists in the final rooftop scene not only beat each other until they were bruised and swollen, but in the few minutes of the scene, the two used the word 【F**K】 at least once in every sentence, saying this curse word at least dozens of times.

This made Luo Mo remember it after watching "Incessant" on Earth.

Compared to "Infernal Affairs", "Incessant" is more extroverted in many aspects.

This is caused by differences in culture.

As for him personally, he naturally prefers "Infernal Affairs".

But regardless, the Hollywood localization of "Incessant" can be considered very successful.

One can only say that to each their own.

Director Mark and the company preparing to film "Incessant" were amazed when they received the script.

In their eyes, Luo Mo is simply a fucking genius!

After the script was adapted, there was no sense of incongruity at all; it felt as if it came from the hands of a Hollywood screenwriter.

The two movies have similarities and differences in terms of Drama.

He is now full of confidence in the "Incessant" project!

Director Mark even feels that if this movie is filmed well, it definitely has a chance to win awards!

And he doesn't know yet that regarding the matter of awards, Huaxia has already caused a sensation.

………

……..

Three days ago, Saturday.

Luo Mo took the cast and crew of "Infernal Affairs" and "The Wandering Earth" to attend the Golden Tripod Award ceremony.

At this awards ceremony, he could be said to be the biggest winner of the night.

"The Wandering Earth" took all the major awards for visual effects and also received a Nomination for Best Picture of the year.

As for "Infernal Affairs", it was truly a slaughter!

Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenwriter, Best Director, and Best Picture of the year were all bagged.

Luo Mo and Hua Jiaqun were both nominated for Best Actor!

Two male leads from one movie were actually both nominated for Best Actor!

And in the end, it was Luo Mo who captured this year's Best Actor title, winning this major award based on his god-tier performance as Chen Yongren!

This was the will of the people; it can be said to be an undisputed sweep!

And when the Golden Tripod Award ceremony ended, everyone couldn't help but bring up the new Fan Hua Award ceremony held a month ago to whip the corpse.

"Since 'Infernal Affairs' didn't participate, it lacks a bit of gold content, hahahaha."

"The Fan Hua Award is really getting worse and worse."

"Luo Mo doesn't care about the title of Fan Hua Best Actor anyway."

"It's a bit of a pity, he can't achieve a Grand Slam this way. How about... we just remove the Fan Hua Award from the major awards list!"

"Haha, as long as the whole nation boycotts the Fan Hua Award and makes it disappear, Luo Mo will have a chance at a Grand Slam!"

Fan Hua Award: Are you being polite?

Holy shit, this is the first time I've heard of such a way to get a Grand Slam!

And honestly, we are already a bit inclined to bow our heads to Luo Mo.

If he comes to participate this year, we will definitely crown him Best Actor too!

In the entertainment industry, there are always such scenes of shaking hands and making peace, which repeatedly become beautiful stories and fine tales.

But Luo Mo has no such intention at all.

"What kind of shitty award are you, that you want me to condescend to come and take it?"

All of this made the relationship between Luo Mo and the Fan Hua Award deteriorate further.

Yet, the judges of the Fan Hua Award didn't know how to bash Luo Mo for the time being.

His movies are just Ox in the country.

In the country, he has both box office and critical acclaim.

Among domestic Actors in his age group, his acting skills also crush everyone else.

Eh, wait!

Domestic?

That's right, just domestic!

Many judges began to organize new rhetoric, and one after another began to express to the media: "Whether it is Luo Mo himself or his movies, they all have a major limitation, and that is... he cannot go global!"

His movies only reign supreme in Huaxia.

Outside of Huaxia, he is no good!

What, you say the rights to Infernal Affairs were sold and bought for adaptation?

Save it, let's talk after the movie is released; everything else is just empty talk for now, who knows if it might flop!

Luo Mo only knows how to play the nostalgia card.

Look, the new movie Farewell My Concubine is again playing that nostalgia card of cultural Inheritance, starting to mess around with Peking Opera.

Peking Opera is Ox, who doesn't know that?

But do you have the ability to achieve cultural Output?

Do you have the ability to make this movie reach the world?

In the past, those Peking Opera masters performed overseas, and they were always sold-out shows.

Among the people who came to watch the Opera, there were people of very noble status.

So now that you are making a movie related to Opera, can you make the movie world-renowned? Can you achieve such a grand occasion?

It is completely unrealistic!

A group of Fan Hua Award judges seized upon this point and spouted nonsense in front of various media outlets.

Many netizens scoffed: "It sounds as if you could turn your own crappy award into a world-class one."

"Why don't you few old fossils go abroad yourselves?"

"The trashy Fan Hua Award is already failing in its own little backyard, and you're still here yapping?"

As for Luo Mo, he never gave any response.

He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these clowns Dancing about.

At the same time, he was waiting, waiting for a result.

And just today, he waited for a result.

Farewell My Concubine won the highest award at the French film festival, it won the Palme d'Or!

In an instant, the whole country was in an uproar!

(PS: My son also tested positive today; a 6-month-old baby being sick, it really breaks my heart.)
