Chapter 121 Two psychopaths face to face

The topic #白又楼发烟# provided entertainment for the majority of netizens for about two days.

Especially after an "insider" revealed that Bai Youlou got the cigarettes from a big shot in the circle, the fun became even stronger.

As expected, the marketing people at Huaxing really don't miss out on any hot topic.

The so-called "insider" is not Lin Juntao himself. Bai Youlou is doing a handstand while taking a shit.

I guess the new movie project will be announced soon.

It’s a good opportunity to take advantage of this wave of traffic to advertise the new movie.

This level of popularity is just right, not over-promotional, but also allows netizens to have a slight impression.

Sometimes one has to admire the complete configuration of these large companies. This time, Bai Youlou can enjoy what is called the top "publicity service" in the circle from beginning to end.

At the same time, the annual Golden Horse Awards also began.

It is also a major event in the film and television industry, attracting considerable attention and focus every year.

Although Bai Youlou himself did not attend, "Whiplash" is still one of the hot films at this year's Golden Horse Awards. After all, it caused such a big stir in Cannes. The dark horse in Cannes is no longer a dark horse at the Golden Horse Awards, but rather an existence that others need to be wary of.

Also because he himself did not attend, some media also seized on this point to criticize him.

He said he didn't respect the Golden Horse Awards and didn't even go when he had time.
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Then what does the recording of the "Singer" program have to do with you, Bai Youlou?

As a filmmaker, why don’t you attend the Golden Horse Awards and go record a variety show with a girl?
Pooh!
It must be severely condemned.

Some media even directly called on the Golden Horse Awards not to give Bai Youlou any awards, so that he would remember this lesson.

This "threat" had no lethality to Bai Youlou himself because he didn't even see it.

It also helped Zhang Xiaorong gain some fame.

Because many people are quite curious, what kind of girl is this that made Bai Youlou not even attend the Golden Horse Awards and insisted on accompanying her to record the show.

A quick search online revealed that wow, she is such a beauty!

That really can't be blamed on Bai Youlou~
What the hell is the Golden Horse Awards? It’s better to hang out with beautiful ladies.

On that day, the number of searches for Zhang Xiaorong on the Internet increased dramatically. Even her account, which had only posted one Weibo post, gained hundreds of thousands of followers and was about to break five million.

Thanks to this "scandal" with Bai Youlou, she gained a lot of fans and attention.

But like Bai Youlou, Zhang Xiaorong last logged in when she registered this Weibo account.

After completing the real-name authentication, I posted a Weibo post to thank everyone for their attention, and never logged into this account again.

I don't know if she still remembers the password.
"I finally understand. As expected of an artist from Bai Youlou's company, how could she have the same problem as him? Pretty sister, don't you really check your Weibo? You're gaining followers!"

"She is beautiful and has a sweet voice. Xiaorong's looks are really a dimensional strike in the music industry. She will definitely become a big star after this "Singer"."

"She's very talented. I've been following her since she was on The Voice. Go for it, little sister!"

"I just want to know, are she and Bai Youlou a couple? If they are, I'll start to support them! If not, I'll force myself to support them!"

"Xiao Rong is Lu Lu's best friend! Lu Lu fans come to report!"

“I searched for a few short video clips and was instantly attracted to it.”

"."

Bai Youlou doesn't care at all, and Zhang Xiaorong is a fan favorite.

This seems to be all good.

But it just looked like Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang were a little panicked.

Damn, Brother Lou is picking up girls, so they are unlucky?

Could it be that the Golden Horse Awards really don't give out the awards just because he's not around to pick up girls, and instead use them as stepping stones for other films?
With such feelings in mind, the two of them walked onto the red carpet of the awards ceremony.

Not surprisingly, no one paid attention to them.

Since Bai Youlou was not there, the media had no interest in even taking pictures.

I don’t know if it was because he didn’t come, but even Hu Manyin, who “likes” to walk the red carpet, didn’t come this time.

Lao Zhou did notify her this time, but she declined on the grounds that she was filming and really couldn't spare the time.

In the end, she can only depend on Long Ziqiang for survival.

"I can now understand how you and Brother Lou felt when you were in Cannes. It was like waiting for trial."

Sitting at the Golden Horse Awards venue, Long Ziqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained.

Lao Zhou spread his hands and said, "Brother Lou didn't panic at the beginning."

"What was he doing?"

What is he doing? He is flirting with the girl and playing with her hands~
They had such a good time! Section Chief Zheng was stunned.

The award ceremony was actually quite star-studded, so before it started, everyone was trying to make friends and expand their network.

Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang were in a more miserable situation. Few people knew them, and the people around them even didn't quite know which crew they were from.

All I could do was sit there and wait for the award ceremony to begin.

But~
Soon, everyone was impressed by these two unprepossessing guys.

"Best New Performer, Whiplash, Long Ziqiang!"

"Best Supporting Actor, Whiplash, Long Ziqiang!"

"Best Original Film Score: Whiplash!"

"Best Original Song from a Movie, Whiplash!"

Long Ziqiang went up twice and Lao Zhou went up twice, which made both of them a little confused.

There are four trophies in total, and each person holds two, like a horse holding a child.

Before they could recover from their dizzy state, the award ceremony for Best Actor began.
The two of them quickly perked up, but they didn't hear Bai Youlou's name. Ah, they didn't get it.

The person who went on stage to receive the award was a local Taiwanese male artist, who was surprisingly about the same age as Bai Youlou.

"The Cannes Best Actor Award winner can't win the Golden Horse Best Actor Award?" Long Ziqiang muttered, standing up for Bai Youlou.

To be honest, if the title of Best Actor was given to a senior or veteran actor, he wouldn't have complained so much.

In the end, it was given to a young man?

Anyway, in Long Ziqiang's opinion, there is no way that anyone from the younger generation in the circle could beat Bai Youlou.

This is definitely using Bai Youlou's Cannes Best Actor award to set off another person.

Damn the shady dealings!
爬！
"That's fine. Brother Lou didn't come, and the Golden Horse Awards have to save face."

Old Zhou calmed down now. "It seems that we have won many awards, but only your two trophies are of some importance. We didn't win any major awards, and Brother Lou didn't win the Best Director award. It was right for him not to come. He might not win even if he came."

Long Ziqiang understood what Lao Zhou said this time, and narrowed his eyes: "Brother Lou didn't come, is it because he thought that others might use him as a stepping stone?"

As a result, Lao Zhou shook his head and said, "He can't possibly think so much, he's just lazy!"

Ah this~
reasonable.

To be honest, the Best Actor winner did surprise many people at the scene.

It's not a huge upset that Bai Youlou didn't win the award, because among the five shortlisted male actors, except for the one who gave the acceptance speech on the stage, the other three are all powerful actors in the industry.

One of them is a veteran actor who is over 60 years old, and the other two are veteran movie stars with both fame and strength. Together with the Cannes Film Festival winner Bai Youlou, these four people actually lost to one person at the same time. What's his name?

".The next story of a young and promising person is already beckoning!"

"grass!"

"Sabi!"

Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang started cursing directly.

Someone imitates my face, and someone imitates my face?

This is a bit shameless! Even Bai Youlou's acceptance speech at Cannes was copied?

The targeting is a bit too obvious!
However, just when they both thought that the story of the night ended here, drama occurred.

"Best movie. Whiplash!"

Lao Zhou, Long Ziqiang: ???
what?
No, what the hell is going on with the Golden Horse Awards?
There was no time for them to think about it, as the camera on the scene was already coming towards them.

Long Ziqiang and Lao Zhou, who were holding four trophies in total, looked a little funny at the moment, but there was no laughter at the scene. Being able to win so many trophies proved their strength!
And in the end the grand prize belongs to someone else, how can we laugh at this?

Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang just looked at each other, then stood up at the same time in tacit understanding, and almost at the same time decided to do something!
Although, neither of them is the type to stir up trouble.

But after staying with Bai Youlou for a long time, sometimes it’s hard not to go crazy.

It's all his fault.

"I'm very happy to accept this award on behalf of Director Bai. Thank you to the Golden Horse Awards judges. This is indeed the biggest surprise of the night."

The first half of the acceptance speech was pretty standard.

But in the second half, these two guys have to carry forward Bai Youlou's style.

"Before I came here, Brother Lou told me that if I could only win the Best Actor award, he would give me the Best Actor trophy as encouragement. But now..." Long Ziqiang pretended to be helpless and shook his head, "I can only give him this Best Film trophy as encouragement and tell him that if he is not good at it, he should practice more!"

There was a burst of laughter and applause at the scene. Bai Youlou, who was absent, made his presence felt very strongly at this moment.

At this time, Lao Zhou took over the conversation, "You are saying bad things about Brother Lou, right? Spreading rumors? Brother Lou didn't say he would definitely win the Best Actor award. He said that the seniors were much better than him, so it's normal that he couldn't win the Best Actor award. You should win the Best Actor award first. As for the Best New Actor award, no one would win the Best Newcomer award at the age of 30, right? Others won the Best Actor award in their twenties, so the same thing is wrong to you. Just practice more! Hurry up and work hard while you are still young and promising."

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

Niu wow Niu wow~
The two of them sang in unison on the stage, and the sarcastic atmosphere was simply too strong!
This show is the best tonight!
The camera at the scene was also very understanding, and it was directly given to the other three actors nominated for Best Actor. It was found that they were clapping the most happily, which was really supportive.

Of course, there are also some unhappy people who don’t need to be named, everyone knows it.

In fact, today's "Best Actor" was feeling ashamed and angry, and his heart was full of regret.

Why is he pretending to be so arrogant? He should just accept the Best Actor trophy honestly and then go back to issue a press release to brag about it.

I have to copy Bai Youlou's acceptance speech~
He got carried away with his success and the two lunatics on the stage came right up to him and started to attack him.

Suddenly I felt a little relieved.

After all, the first person to become "notorious" as a psychopath in the entertainment industry was Bai Youlou himself.

Everyone around him is so crazy. If Bai Youlou were here today, he wouldn't specifically name and fuck him, right?
be afraid!
Why bother provoking him when you can just provoke anyone else?
Regardless, tonight is over.

Quite a comedic effect.

With the extraordinary performance of Long Ziqiang and Lao Zhou, the title of Best Actor seemed to have become a joke.
At the same time, it also left a deep impression on many people in the circle. Bai Youlou and the people in his company are all a little crazy!
These guys are really brave!

But they were also the biggest winners of the night, taking away five trophies and stealing the show.

"Ah!"

A sneeze woke the kitten up immediately.

Wangcai, who was originally sleeping soundly, raised his head and looked at Bai Youlou in confusion, as if asking: What's wrong?
Bai Youlou quickly touched its round head and said, "Hey, are you having a nightmare? Keep sleeping, keep sleeping, it's okay~"

"Meow~"

After coaxing the cat curled up on his legs to sleep, Bai Youlou muttered to himself: Who is scolding me again?

By the way, I don’t know how Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang performed at the Golden Horse Awards. These two didn’t even send a message. How bold!
Of course, he didn't have time to pay attention to the situation of these two people because he was busy at the moment.

Lin Juntao brought him new troubles.

Role auditions.

When it comes to auditions for roles in the entertainment industry, many of them are just a formality.

If investors, distributors, and producers can use their own people to play the roles, who would be so generous as to promote outside artists?

Unless there is really no suitable candidate for a certain role, in this case, if you have relatively high requirements and expectations for the film and television project, you may hold open auditions for the final effect.

Regarding this point, Bai Youlou's films actually do not have this problem.

So far, his films do not have heavy group scenes.

The main theme of the film is "don't trust others", and most of the scenes are focused on himself.

There is no need to say much about "Before Sunrise". It is just the scenes of Bai Youlou and An Luning, and the rest are all extras.

"The Dreamers" is not much worse, even worse than "Whiplash". The focus of the movie is on two people.

Therefore, Bai Youlou didn’t have any special requirements for the so-called heroine and other supporting roles.

Apart from helping Long Ziqiang get a role, he gave everything else to Lin Juntao, which could be considered a favor.

At least we have to give some face to the financial sponsor.

Of course, Bai Youlou himself has the "final right of interpretation" and he can replace the actors if he feels it is inappropriate.

As for the heroine, he conceded that it was most likely Qiu Yanran.

His acting skills are okay, he is supported by Huaxing, and his schedule is also suitable.

However, Bai Youlou didn't expect that this matter would cause such trouble.

Why let him audition? Under the pretext of selecting a more suitable actor.

Bai Youlou: ???

When did the entertainment industry become so fair and open?
While he was feeling annoyed about this matter, there was someone else who felt the same way.

Surprisingly, it was Jiang Yuanchu.

After running around for a whole day, I was exhausted. Fortunately, on the way back to the hotel, I could watch Bai Youlou’s latest “cool move” to relieve my boredom.

Although her facial expression was tense, she was very happy in her heart.

What a psycho! He's sending cigarettes to his fans. It's hard to imagine that he was an idol before.

Regarding this hot topic, Jiang Yuanchu naturally skipped the part about Zhang Xiaorong.

I didn’t even open her Weibo post.

It can be said that he has extremely strong self-control.

As long as she doesn't pay attention, no strange thoughts will arise in her mind.

Just like what Bai Youlou had said to her before, use absolute rationality and clarity to suppress the inner desires and impulses.

Jealousy is an emotion that affects one's state too much, Jiang Yuanchu absolutely does not want to be involved in it, including in relationships!
Apart from the RV, she doesn't need anything at all!
But at this moment, the agent sitting in the passenger seat of the car was startled.

"Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan, big news!"

"I saw it~" Jiang Yuanchu originally thought that his agent was talking about Bai Youlou's smoking.

The other party looked puzzled and asked, "Where did you see the news that just came from within the company?"

"Ah? Tell me."

Without paying attention to this little episode, the agent went straight to the point, "Bai Youlou is going to make a new movie, and our company is involved in the investment."

This is big news indeed!
But Jiang Yuanchu thought about it and felt that this seemed to have nothing to do with her since she was not an actor.

"Xiao Yuan, hasn't the company always said that it would try to make you try to transform? I think we should fight for this opportunity!"

"What are you fighting for?"

"The heroine of his new movie! I heard that originally this role was going to be given directly to Huaxing Entertainment, but our boss, Mr. Liu, argued for it, and in the end, we all agreed to nominate our own candidates, and Bai Youlou was allowed to choose his own candidate for the audition. This is our chance!"

"Sister, I have never acted in a play."

"This is Bai Youlou's first movie. He has never acted in any movies before. We watched the movie. The second male lead was also good at acting. You can learn if you don't know how to act!"

To be honest, the field of acting is too unfamiliar to Jiang Yuanchu.

Not only have I never learned it, I have never even come into contact with it.

She also had no idea what the result would be if she were to act.

But after her agent said that, she felt that Bai Youlou was so amazing and a very good teacher. If it was him, maybe he could really
And it’s good for filming!

When filming, you can stay on the set for a long time, and there will be many opportunities.
"What does the company say?"

"What do you mean? You are the company's top artist. Apart from CEO Liu, who can compete with you? I have wanted you to try acting for a long time, but there have never been enough suitable and substantial resources. You must fight for this opportunity. After all, an audition should be no problem, right?"

Makes sense!
Unless Liu Manli personally takes action, Jiang Yuanchu is the biggest artist in the company.

But Jiang Yuanchu spread his hands and said, "I have so many announcements now, do I have time to audition?"

"I'll find a way. I'll squeeze out at least half a day for you!"
