180. The next city first (6400 words per month(1/2)
"Brother Huang, why did you come so early?" Xu Shi and the others saw Huang Bing as soon as they arrived at the booked hotel.
Huang Bing smiled and said, "I arrived yesterday, and I have a few old friends here, so I happened to take this opportunity to meet you."
"Brother Huang's friendship is still vast, and I can't find anyone even if I want to find someone for a meal."
"Haha, you are a hot figure in our circle now. If you want to have dinner with anyone, who dares not give face." Huang Bing joked.
"Brother Huang is laughing at me again, but this time we are opponents. I hope Brother Huang will show mercy."
"I should be saying this. This time I'm just running with you. But you have a lot of hope of winning the award. And I heard that you are not just a nomination. Last time you fired the double shot, but this time you won't have three shots."
This time, Xu Shi and Huang Bing were both nominated for the Best Actor, so they are considered opponents.
Xu Shixiao said, "I am satisfied with getting one of them and I dare not have too many extravagant expectations."
"You are boring, too modest. With the achievements of "Hacker", if the organizer does not award you more than two awards, they will not be able to explain it." Huang Bing said.
What he said was actually from the bottom of his heart. Although many awards do not necessarily depend on box office results, box office is a measure from beginning to end, but the weights occupied are different.
After chatting for a while, Xu Shi said to Huang Bing: "Brother Huang, do you have time to have a meal together in the evening? I would like to thank you very much. If it weren't for your suggestion last time, "Hacker" would definitely not be as successful as it is now."
"You are so proud of me. I just made a small suggestion. It is your own credit to be able to make this."
"That's all, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Xu Shi said directly regardless of Huang Bing's modesty.
"Okay, then I'll beat the rich tonight." Huang Bing said with a smile. Now everyone knows that Xu Shi has made a fortune.
After making an appointment, Xu Shi was not delayed. He went to the room to wash up first, then took a short rest, and at night he came to the private room he had booked.
It was also his first time in Taiwan Province. I don’t know which restaurant was delicious, but he knew that the expensive ones would definitely not be too unpalatable, and he did a good job in privacy.
He is not short of money now, so it is the best place to book a private room. After all, it is a banquet for others. If Xu Shi came to eat it himself, he would never spend so much money to eat it. What he cares most about is the taste, not the service.
Not only Huang Bing came tonight, but also Zhai Meirong and several old friends introduced by Zhai Meirong. Huang Bing also brought a few old friends, and Xu Shi and others seemed quite lively.
"Xu Shi, you are facing Huang Bing this time. How about you? Are you mentally stressed?" Zhai Meirong said with a smile.
Xu Shidao: "Of course there is pressure. I have personally experienced Brother Huang's acting skills. I am still far from it. I am most lucky to be nominated for the best actor this time."
"Haha, don't be too modest. I watched your "Hacker" and I have to say, it's great! Especially the classic rivalry between you and Sister Rong, with this, you are qualified to be the emperor." Cai Xiaoli said.
"Sister Cai praised me, I really don't have confidence."
"I have confidence in you. This time I am basically a runner-up. I have been dumped by you in the box office. You are not bad in terms of acting skills. As for the content, I feel that my movie is not as good as "Hacker".
I really don’t mean to compliment this, it’s all the truth. You have a high chance of winning the award this time.
I have also watched several other nominated movies. Although they are not bad, they are almost the same as mine.
If you want to win the Best Actor this time, you will be the Best Actor 5 billion. Made, why do you feel more sour the more I say?” Huang Bing said and became a little sour.
Yes, how many years have he made the 5 billion actors at that time, how many movies he made, and how much effort he put in?
But what about Xu Shi?
Just two movies are about to achieve such a achievement, how could he not feel sad?
And he really felt that Xu Shi had great hope this time. Not to mention anything else, the box office was already dazzling enough. Coupled with the content and Xu Shi's acting skills in it, it was completely enough to be the emperor.
This is also the reason why he was not in a hurry to come here this time, because he knew that he had little hope.
"Haha, this is a generation of new people to replace old people. Huang Bing, you are already old, it's time to give way to the young people."
"The key is that this guy is too young. If he is older, I will feel less in my heart. I won't say anything. If I drink, the more I say I feel more uncomfortable." Huang Bing shouted.
"Hahaha, drink! I'm going to get Xu Shiqi drunk today."
The few people talked and laughed, but basically didn't talk about other things. They talked about some things in the circle and guessed the next awards, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
This time, a large part of the reason why everyone came here was to make friends with Xu Shi. There was no way. Now Xu Shi wants money and people, and he is another rising star, so he naturally wants to make friends with him.
Maybe they will ask Xu Shi at any time, and Xu Shi's freedom is not comparable to them.
As long as Xu Shi wants to shoot a movie, he can shoot it immediately. Many of them must follow the company's arrangements, and at least they must consider the opinions there, but Xu Shi does not need it because he is his boss.
The topic also slowly talked about the TV series that Xu Shi was about to shoot. Cai Xiaoli said to Xu Shi: "I have some connection with the TV station here. If you want to sell the TV series to Taiwan Province, I can help you a little."
She is preparing to sell favors in advance. The development speed of the mainland is far beyond everyone's imagination, and this is even more so in the entertainment industry.
No one would have thought that in just over a decade, the original salary of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan could increase to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Everyone was jealous of such a big piece of fat.
But it is impossible to squeeze in rashly. You can only find opportunities through some relationships, and Xu Shi is such an opportunity.
"Then I'll give you a glass to Sister Cai first, thank you Sister Cai." Xu Shi picked up the glass and said, naturally Xu Shi would not refuse such kindness.
The meal was eaten until eleven o'clock in the evening. Cai Xiaoli and several locals were thinking about finding a lively place to play, but they were rejected by everyone.
It was getting late and everyone was a little tired.
Xu Shi did not wander around the next two days, and basically stayed in the hotel to rest. However, Zhang Kui and Wang Feiyun went out to have fun.
On the day of the award ceremony, Xu Shi and a few people came to the scene. The car was found by Cai Xiaoli for help. It was not very luxurious, but it was also good.
Xu Shi didn't pay much attention to this. He originally thought about renting a similar car from a car rental company, but since there was a ready-made one, he would no longer have trouble.
However, what surprised Xu Shi was that he actually saw his fans here, and he didn't know if the organizer found them for money.
But when he got off the car, he knew that these fans were not really found by the organizer, because when he saw him, the fanatical cry could not be fake.
"Xu Shi, sign me a name." A young man squeezed into front and said excitedly.
Xu Shi smiled and nodded and said, "Of course, where can I sign?"
"Just on clothes, your fighting scenes are really handsome. I like your movies very much." The boy pulled Xu Shi's signature on clothes while talking excitedly.
"Thank you for your liking, but your main task now is to learn. It's not too late to chase the star chasing thing until you grow up." Xu Shi said with a smile.
"Xu Shi, why do I feel like you are talking to my mother like this?" The young man was a little unhappy when he heard Xu Shi's talk.
Xu Shi was speechless immediately, and smiled and stopped talking, as if he was indeed a little meddling in other people's business.
Then Xu Shi signed several other fans, and he didn't end until the organizer signaled him to hurry up.
"Xu Shi, you are really amazing. People want someone to chase stars and pursue him. You should just push people out directly. I guess you will lose one fan." Zhai Meirong smiled in a low voice.
After hearing Xu Shi's consolation, the boy was obviously less excited and seemed to not like being preached.
"I'm telling the truth. At such a young age, why are you chasing for a star? Even the correct view has not been fully formed. What if I take it wrong?" Xu Shi felt very innocent, and just told the truth. Why did he lose his fans?
"Haha, you are kind-hearted, you left and went in." Zhai Meirong said.
Xu Shi and she walked into the venue after posing a few shapes on the signature wall. At this time, there were already many people inside.
They appeared relatively late.
As the staff came to their own position together, Xu Shi looked around and found that there were basically few people he knew.
As for Zhang Kui and Wang Feiyun, they all looked around nervously. This was the first time they had participated in such an occasion, so they were naturally a little nervous.
The award ceremony officially began without long. At the beginning, there were some small awards, and not many people followed it.
Of course, Xu Shi’s nomination for Best Action Award is also a small award, so it is also listed here.
"The one I announced that I will win this year's Best Action Award is... "The Matrix: Truman's World"!"
"Congratulations!"
"Haha, you're a good start."
Zhai Meirong and others congratulated each other, Xu Shi also stood up with a smile and signaled, then walked onto the stage.
"Xu Shi, I heard that there are six nominations for "Hacker" this time. How many awards do you think you can win this time?" the host asked with a smile.
"I don't know this, and the organizer didn't tell me in advance. Why don't you ask the organizer for me and I'll make some preparations." Xu Shi said with a smile.
"Haha, I won't tell me if I ask the organizer. I just knew about it."
"Your two films won the Best Action Award, how do you feel about this?" the host asked again.
"I don't have any other feelings, just feel that the gap in the action movie market in China is too serious, otherwise I wouldn't have won two Best Action Awards in a row.
I hope the competition for the best action movies in the future will be more intense. It is best if I nominate for such an award. That is the situation I want to see the most." Xu Shi said this very sincerely, and this is his real idea.
Because this means that China has made very good developments in action movies, and if we want to develop these well, action actors are indispensable. At least, martial arts substitutes and action guidance will have good developments.
This is what Xu Shi wanted to see.
After Xu Shi said this, the host compliments a few more words and then sent him off the stage because this award was originally a small prize and there was not much time for him to give his speech.
When Xu Shi walked to the position with the trophy, Zhang Kui couldn't help but ask for it and carefully stroked the trophy.
"This is the first time I have ever felt a trophy that is part of me since I entered the film industry." Zhang Kui said excitedly.
"Haha, there is the Best Director Award next. Maybe you will have your own trophy at that time." Wang Feiyun said with a smile.
However, the smile on Zhang Kui's face gradually calmed down and he shook his head and said, "It's hard, basically impossible."
This is not a self-deprecating person, but a fact.
After all, everyone knows that the credits of this movie are basically Xu Shi. He is only responsible for some basic functions, so even if the film is well shot, his credits are not that great.
If the works that compete for the Best Director Award this time are not very good, then he still has some hope, but although the competition this time is not very fierce, it should not be underestimated.
So his chances of winning are very small.
