light and shadow [entertainment circle]

The Golden Peony Award, the full name of the Golden Peony Award for Chinese Film, is a film award jointly established by the China Film Association, the China Film Critics Association, and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The award cycle is biennial.Since the judging committee of the Golden Peony Award is composed of the most authoritative and professional film industry workers in China, the Golden Peony Award has always had the title of "Expert Award" among the people.As we all know, the so-called experts often like to flaunt that they are not popular and do not follow blindly.Therefore, in the 34 years since the establishment of the Golden Peony Awards, you have often seen those blockbuster movies that are not even well-known, and finally beat the box office hits of the year to win the award.

In the beginning, the style of the Golden Peony Award was obviously criticized and resisted by many film companies.However, the professional level of the members of the Golden Peony Award judging committee is truly unsurpassed, and their in-depth evaluations of the award-winning films from their respective professional fields are also enough to convince the public, so that the capital market only I can't help but sigh.But gradually, with the development of China's economy, the artistic accomplishment of Chinese people has gradually improved. Both audiences and filmmakers have higher artistic pursuits for movies themselves.The Golden Peony Award has won the double affirmation and respect of the audience and filmmakers with its consistent professionalism, impartiality, and disapproval.

It was under such circumstances that Kou Jun and Xia Zhi got the invitation cards of the Golden Peony Awards and competed for the award of Best New Actor in the 18th Golden Peony Awards.

At the beginning of January of the following year, the crew of "Kai Tang" was finally fully completed.Xia Zhi, as the absolute male number one in the series of TV movies "Kai Tang", returned to Jianghai City non-stop without even having time to attend the finale reception to prepare for his final exam at Luming University.Having just passed the torrid exam week, he hurried to Chang'an again to prepare for the Golden Peony Award presentation ceremony.

"I feel that the end of the year is the busiest time of the year, and the final exams must be on the street again..." During the styling tryout, Xia Zhi complained to Kou Jun who was sitting next to him with a look of lovelessness.

Kou Jun also just finished his final exam, so he really felt sorry for Xia Zhi's words. "At the end of the year, it's either dividing the pork or squeezing the schedule. Everyone is busy."

Tang Chi, who was pressing Kou Jun and Xia Zhi to do the styling, twitched his face when he heard their conversation. "Do you dare to say that you are busy? You don't go out to inquire about it. During the New Year, even the starlets on the [-]th line have to catch at least three announcements a day!" He said, throwing a contract into Kou Jun in the arms. "Your contract with Light and Shadow for the next five years, sign it as soon as you see it clearly!"

After more than half a year, Kou Jun finally realized soberly: as long as the Yunchuan series continues to be filmed, it will be extremely difficult for him to get rid of the film company's pursuit and harassment of him.To completely solve this problem, he can only sign a sell-off contract with the film company.The reason why I chose Light and Shadow is of course because Light and Shadow Films can give him the greatest degree of freedom. "It seems that I have to take a good look at it. You Guangying arranged several announcements for me every day." Kou Jun accepted the contract and responded with a smile.

Tang Chi gave him an angry look. "How can there be any announcement arrangement? At least one movie a year, the protagonist and the supporting role are not limited, and the rest is up to you to choose freely. I dare say that there is no contract in the whole of China that can compare with the one you have. The degree of freedom is higher!" Strictly speaking, what Guangying Films and Kou Jun signed is only a manager agreement, not an exclusive artist agreement of Guangying Films.And before Kou Jun, there was only one person who was qualified to sign the agency contract with Guangying Films - Kang Ruonian!

Kou Jun flipped through the contract casually, and quickly signed his name without any objection. "Happy cooperation!" He reached out to Tang Chi.

"Happy cooperation!" Tang Chi shook hands with Kou Jun, and finally couldn't help saying. "Actually, you can sign the contract after the Golden Peony Award ceremony." Although Xia Zhi was also shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award, both Guan Shan and Tang Chi were more optimistic about Kou Jun winning the award.And if an actor can have a prestigious award, the signing price will naturally rise.

Kou Jun is not the Zhang Jun who only cares about small profits.Thinking that he has been dealing with Guangying Films for more than a year, Guangying Films has always treated him with courtesy, whether it is interests or feelings, it is properly in place.Kou Jun believes that in the long run, maintaining a good cooperative relationship and personal friendship with Guangying Films is far more important than worrying about the signing fee.Of course, some words are boring if they are clear, so he just smiled and didn't make a sound.

Tang Chi sighed silently in his heart: This kid has really high EQ!Then, he turned his gaze to Xia Zhi, and sure enough, he found that Xia Zhi looked absent-minded, obviously not understanding anything. "Alas!" Tang Chi sighed, and said to himself: It is indeed right to keep Xia Zhi away from fans!

Until the second before getting out of the car to walk the red carpet, Xia Zhi was still protesting to Li Zhiyi: "It's such a cold day, if I wear a suit, is it going to freeze me to death? It's only 7°C today!" Chang'an is located in the northwest of China In the region, it is still winter in January.Although the Golden Peony Awards have thoughtfully arranged the red carpet time for the sunny morning, the temperature of 7°C is indeed not warm.

Li Zhiyi in the car rolled his eyes and forcibly took off Xia Zhi's down jacket. "Which celebrity have you ever seen wearing a down jacket on the red carpet? Those female celebrities all show their breasts, backs, and thighs. Why aren't they cold? Summer Solstice, be professional! You are a man!"

"My major is acting, not being cold!" Xia Zhi turned a deaf ear, holding onto his down jacket tightly and refusing to let go.

"One more warm baby." Sitting beside him, Kou Jun silently stuck the fifth warm baby on his shirt.

"The red carpet is only 2 or 30 meters away, just hurry up!" In the end, Li Zhiyi snatched the down jacket with the help of his assistant, and handed over two sunglasses. "Put on your sunglasses, it's time to get out of the car."

"Sunglasses can keep out the cold?!" Xia Zhi screamed, angrily opened the car door and jumped down with Kou Jun.

In the next second, screams and flashing lights intertwined.

——It is true that sunglasses cannot keep out the cold, but they can block light.Xia Zhi now understands.He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block the flashing lights, but before he could make a move, Kou Jun held his arm down.

"Keep smiling, hurry up!" The so-called pigs have seen walking without eating pork, Kou Jun has never seen a celebrity walk the red carpet with his eyes covered the whole time.

Although Xia Zhi was walking on the red carpet for the first time, she also knew that she couldn't block her eyes, so she nodded and said in a low voice, "I hope they stop filming after this round."

The summer solstice is too naive.

The Golden Peony Award, as a well-known "high-end" film award, has always acted in a clear and high-level way.When it comes to the specific arrangement of the award ceremony, it is as follows: First, the Golden Peony Award has always only invited relevant filmmakers who are finally nominated and eligible to compete for the award.Second, the Golden Peony Awards does not have an off-site host, and the red carpet time is only half an hour.

I still remember that at the last Golden Peony Awards ceremony, an actor who had a great chance of winning Best Actor was late for 10 minutes in order to grab the finale of the red carpet.Unexpectedly, when he arrived by car, the organizer of the Golden Peony Awards even withdrew the red carpet.The actor's agent negotiated with the organizer several times, but failed to get the organizer to roll back the red carpet.Considering that the Golden Peony Award never awarded to actors who were absent from the awards ceremony, the male star weighed it over and over again, and finally had no choice but to sneak into the Chang'an Grand Theater through the side door in desperation.That year, the best actor award went to another family, but the male star was ridiculed by the public for several months because of this matter.

With such a tragic lesson set before us, most of the actors and actresses nominated this year rushed to the gate of Chang'an Grand Theater early, walked onto the red carpet with smiles on their faces, and moved forward slowly.So much so that the short red carpet of 2 to 30 meters is actually the effect of stepping out of the subway station during peak hours.

With such a big environment, it is obviously a dream for Kou Jun and Xia Zhi to finish walking the red carpet as soon as possible.The two could only wear standard smiles, facing long guns and short guns, and struggled through the crowd.This style is not like a celebrity walking the red carpet, but more like two office workers catching the subway.

But even so, those entertainment journalists were not willing to let the two of them go easily.As last year's box office champions, popular young meat, and award-winning favorites, Kou Jun and Xia Zhi are too low-key.This obviously makes fans resentful.But for Yuji, the more low-key an actor is, the more newsworthy he is.What's more, compared with the male and female celebrities on the red carpet with make-up on the wall, these two newcomers in suits and leather shoes are really handsome.

After walking on the red carpet for 5 minutes, Xia Zhi had just walked a third of the entire red carpet, and his eyes were already shimmering with golden light and then pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly. "I sincerely apologize to all the male celebrities I complained about before. They even wear sunglasses at night, so they are really not pretending!" quickened his pace.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, there was a delicate exclamation from behind him.

"Oops! Who stepped on my skirt?!"

Xia Zhi followed the sound and looked back, only to see a vague black shadow falling towards him.He instinctively took a step forward, put one hand on his shoulder and the other on his waist, and caught it.This is obviously a classic action scene in a standard romance movie, and then the hero and heroine should look at each other affectionately and fall in love at first sight.

The entertainment journalists outside the red carpet smelled the "headline" at the same time, and in an instant, the group of flashing lights exploded in front of everyone's eyes like an atomic bomb.Xia Zhi only felt a huge white light flash by, and finally he couldn't see anything.

"Scared me to death!" The delicate female voice stared at Xia Zhi and said softly.There was no pain in listening to her voice, but she didn't stand up in a hurry, and actually let the flashing lights bombard her wildly, and I felt majestic and still.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but tilt his head, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then set his eyes on his arms.Judging from the outline, it should be a woman. She feels quite thin and doesn't have much weight.With a pointed chin, the specific appearance is still black, wearing a long skirt, red or black. "Miss, are you all right? Can you stand up?"

Only then did the actress support Xia Zhi's arm and slowly stand still, her head was lowered, her cheeks flushed. "Xia Zhi, thank you."

The difference in height made Xia Zhi's gaze easily pass over the actress's head. "It's fine, there are too many people here, be careful." He rubbed his eyes vigorously again, the black spots in front of his eyes turned into white spots again, and he still couldn't see clearly.

"There are quite a lot of people." The actress followed suit, obviously very eager to chat with Xia Zhi.

"So let's retreat quickly!" Kou Jun who was standing aside suddenly interrupted, "Xia Zhi, let's go." Xia Zhi was blinded just now, and couldn't see clearly what happened.Kou Jun was not the case. He clearly saw that the actress was walking in the opposite direction of Xia Zhi, and she fell backwards because Xia Zhi stepped on her skirt. She was slapped on the face of Newton's first law ring.

"Oh, good." Of course Xia Zhi didn't care much about a female star whose face she hadn't seen clearly so far, so she left with Kou Jun. "Brother Jun, I can't see anything!"

Hearing Xia Zhi's complaint, Kou Jun couldn't help but sigh. "Who made you popular?" Although he walked side by side with Xia Zhi the whole time, Kou Jun could clearly feel that the number of shots falling on him was far less than that of Xia Zhi.Therefore, Xia Zhi is completely blind now, but he is still half blind.

"We debuted together, why didn't they take more pictures of you?" Xia Zhi couldn't figure it out, "You have a better chance of winning this newcomer award than me!"

Anyone who said this could be ironic, but only Xia Zhi said it.Therefore, Kou Jun only smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense until the final awards are presented." Seeing that the red carpet was still full of people, and most of them were female stars who came back and forth, Kou Jun couldn't help but look forward to it. . "Lin Mengyao, Wen Jing, Qin Huanhuan...Come whoever you want!" The actresses named are all top actresses under Darui's banner. Kou Jun believes that if one of them can appear in time, he is still staying on the red carpet. Most of the little flowers will disappear immediately.

However, Kou Jun didn't understand: For the healthy and orderly development of the entertainment industry, many things have their own unspoken rules.Even if it's just a 2-30 meter long red carpet, there is a way to know who goes first and who comes later.Taking the Golden Peony Awards as an example, the red carpet time given by the organizer is half an hour, so under normal circumstances, the 16th minute will be used as the watershed to divide the red carpet time into two halves.In the first half, those who walked the red carpet were Xiaoxianrou Xiaohuadan who were still fighting bravely for the top position, giving them a chance to fight for the page.And the second half will be the moment when those first-line superstars come on stage, and the bigger the star, the more finale.Popular actresses such as Lin Mengyao, Wen Jing, Qin Huanhuan, etc., it would be extremely difficult for them to walk the red carpet one step ahead of their fellow actresses, let alone show their faces in the first half, wouldn't it make people laugh?

Therefore, this time, the one who really rescued Kou Jun and the others was Yi Xue, the newcomer that Darui's group is promoting this year.The girl Yi Xue just turned 17 this year. She has an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, and a cherry mouth. She has a slender figure with well-proportioned bumps. She is a pure and gentle little beauty.She just made her debut last year and starred in a movie "Asura" about the ambiguous relationship between teachers and students. In the movie, the smart and charming female student image is really the poison of men, not only fascinated by the male protagonist in the movie, but also captivated many moviegoers.In the end, this low-cost film with an investment of less than 4000 million yuan raked in [-] million yuan at the Qixi festival, and Yi Xue herself was nominated for the Golden Peony Award for Best New Actress.

"Yi Xue! It's Yi Xue! Hurry up!" Seeing Yi Xue, who was wearing a long pink dress, standing timidly and charmingly on the red carpet, the entertainment reporters immediately ran towards her desperately.

Losing the attention of the camera, many actresses on the red carpet retreated one after another.Seeing that the red carpet in front of them suddenly became empty, Kou Jun and Xia Zhi looked at each other, held hands tacitly, and ran wildly!

The author has something to say:

Golden Peony Award: Our award cycle is every two years, and it has been held for 36 years!

Xia Zhi: Don't care about these details!

Golden Peony Award: Hehe!
