Rebirth Turn

The box office of "The Legend of Wang Xuance" in the mainland was finally fixed at 870 million, which is the consistent level of Chen Li's films. Compared with the billions of "Can't Help", it is not enough, but the super high box office of "Can't Help" has its external factors, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a phenomenon. Of course, this does not mean that "Can't Help" is not a good movie. The fact that it has been shortlisted for the best picture at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards is enough to prove that it is a good enough and highly recognized movie.

The selection of the Hong Kong Film Awards has certain regional restrictions. Only Hong Kong films that have been publicly screened in Hong Kong in the first round can automatically participate in the selection, and at least two of the three conditions for becoming a Hong Kong film must be met. The director must be a Hong Kong film holder. Hong Kong residents with permanent resident identity cards: The production company must have a company legally registered in Hong Kong; and the staff members who have at least one work item in the video are Hong Kong residents. These restrictions have hindered some Chinese-language films with good box office and reputation to a certain extent, so compared with the more comprehensive Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, the influence of the Golden Horse Awards will be slightly smaller. But in any case, the Hong Kong Film Awards, together with the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and the Mainland's Golden Bull Awards, are called the three awards for the highest achievements of Chinese-language films.

Wang Yi, the director of "Can't Help", is a Hong Konger himself, and "Can't Help" is actually a joint venture, so naturally there is no problem of lack of qualifications.

In the shortlist of the Academy Awards announced in early February, "Can't Help" was nominated for a total of seven awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography. There are two nominations for Best Actor.

It's not uncommon for a movie to be nominated for two Best Actor or Best Actress, but it's not uncommon. However, "Can't Help" is a bit special. Because of the subject matter, it is destined to miss the award for Best Actress, and the wonderful performances of the two male protagonists are also worthy of this simultaneous nomination.

Before the awards ceremony, Phoenix Entertainment had an exclusive interview with the two male protagonists of "Can't Help": Han Yuan and Lu Yan.

In the interview room, Han Yuan and Lu Yan dressed very formally, but their postures were very relaxed and casual, and there was no nervousness of "quasi-actor". Han Yuan has always been a frequent visitor to the Academy Awards, and his ease and ease is understandable; as an actor who can be called a "rookie" for three or four years after his debut, this calmness is quite rare. But although he debuted not long ago, after all, he is a Cannes actor with a "Golden Palme" in his hand, so it's not surprising to think about it.

After the final promotion of "Can't Help" was completed, this was the first time that Han Yuan and Lu Yan met. Before the exclusive interview, the two had already chatted, asked each other about each other's current situation, talked about their recent plans, After a few jokes, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The reporters from Han Yuan and Phoenix Entertainment are already old acquaintances, and the exclusive interview has been done for several issues, so this time the reporter focused on Lu Yan.

After the photographer fiddled with it, the reporter began to ask questions.

Reporter: First of all, congratulations to the two Best Actor nominees for the Academy Awards. According to anecdotal predictions, the two are the finalists with the most chance to win. How do you feel before the awards?

Han Yuan answered first, still a little nervous. This is the first time I have tried such a theme, and being able to get the nomination shows that everyone has recognized it, which also shows that my attempt was successful. In this way, I am already very happy. As for whether I can win the award or not, it still depends on fate.

Reporter: If I remember correctly, this is the eleventh time that Mr. Han has been nominated for the Academy Award. He has also won five or six awards before.

Han Yuan: Five times.

Reporter: The percentage of winners is very high. No wonder Mr. Han is so calm. So Mr. Lu, how do you feel now?

Lu Yan: I like the industry of actors very much. Every time I take a film and a role, I will try to figure it out and study it very carefully. The same is true for "Can't Help". You have to ask me if I want to win the award, I really want to. But it doesn't matter if I can't get it, I'm still young, and I have opportunities. If I can't get it this time, I'll do it next time. Although I am happy to get it, I have tried my best to not get it, so I will not be unhappy.

Reporter: Who do you think has a higher chance of winning?

Lu Yan said first, I hope we can win together.

Lu Yan and Han Yuan looked at each other and smiled. The Academy Awards allow double yellows, and I have had such experiences, but very few.

Reporter: "Can't Help" is a very good movie. I also watched it when it was released, watched it two or three times, and bought a DVD for my collection. I like it very much.

Han Yuan & Lu Yan: Thank you for your support.

Reporter: You are a couple in the movie. I remember Mr. Han said that he would not make **** movies because he was afraid of being affected. How do you feel now after the filming?

Han Yuan made a joke, if I were a teenager, I might really be affected. When I was young, it was easy to get too involved in dramas, and I almost got depressed and had to see a psychiatrist. Now that I have acted for so many years, I already know how to get out of the role. But I like the feeling of being immersed in the drama, and I am very happy to have this try.

Han Yuan has been famous for a long time, and his status in the entertainment industry is now unshakable by the usual scandals and rumors, so he can speak his mind more directly. In addition, the report of Phoenix Entertainment is still very restored, and will not deliberately distort or take it out of context to gain attention. If the paparazzi of the third-rate tabloids were replaced, maybe the headline the next day would be "Han Yuan claims to be in love with Lu Yan, and he falls into the role and cannot extricate himself". Of course, ordinary third-rate tabloids have no chance to interview Han Yuan now.

Reporter: What about Mr. Lu?

Lu Yan smiled and said lightly, I will not change my sexuality because of a movie.

This is a sentence he once said to Qin Feng, and it is also a fact. If this reporter is sharp enough, he will find that Lu Yan's sentence is somewhat problematic, because the answer of ordinary people should be that I will not become **** because of a movie. But obviously, the reporter was not so keen, or did not care, so he did not continue to ask, but changed the subject.

Reporter: I heard that there is a **** favorite male star on the Internet, and Mr. Lu is at the top of the list, far ahead of the second. What are your thoughts on this, Mr. Lu?

Lu Yan: Thank you very much for your love and support. This shows that my performance has been recognized and affirmed by everyone. I will continue to work hard and repay everyone with better works.

Reporter: Now it is rumored that Mr. Han has several plans, one is for Huang Zhen to cooperate with Hong Qisheng in the film, and the other is to cooperate with Shen Feng in the film of Qi Bai. Are you sure which one it is?

Han Yuan: Nothing has been decided yet. Hong Qisheng's final script has not been finalized yet, and it is still a prototype at this stage. The same goes for Qi Bai. We all have to read the script to make a decision.

Reporter: What about Mr. Lu? I heard that your studio is preparing to invest in a film of its own, can you tell me what kind of film it is?

Lu Yan: The preparatory work for the film has been basically completed, and the official casting will begin in a while, and we will know when the time comes.

Reporter: Is Mr. Lu the default male protagonist?

Lu Yan: Basically yes.

Reporter: Have you considered being a director yourself?

Lu Yan: Not yet. I still play the role of an actor first, of course, and now I have added a producer. As for the director, I might try it in the future when I have the chance, but it's not the time yet.

Reporter: Then finally, can you ask the two of you to evaluate each other?

Han Yuan: Lu Yan is a very good actor. The two films he has worked with are very good. He is talented and willing to work hard. What I admire most about him is that he can enter the play quickly and play well, and he is born to be an actor. In time, he will surely become the best movie star.

Lu Yan: Han Yuan is one of my most admired actors. I am very honored to be able to work with him. I have learned a lot from him. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

On the day of the Academy Awards ceremony, Su Mo took a day to fly to Hong Kong. Lu Yan dressed up and went to the airport to pick him up. The weather in April has begun to get hot, and the coat and hat are too ostentatious, so basically I just wear a pair of large sunglasses as a cover. Although Hong Kong is a small place, there are a lot of celebrities. Every day you see celebrities wearing big sunglasses shopping. Citizens are not surprised, except for a few young boys and girls who dare to ask for autographs, basically nothing. resistance.

After receiving the person, the two casually strolled around Kowloon. Usually, they basically don't have the opportunity to go shopping together. It's either time or identity. However, the two big men were not interested in shopping. So the two just walked around the new and old towns in casual clothes, tasted the local delicacies, and felt whether the local people's livelihood was like the one shot in the Hong Kong movie. For them, it was quite a novel experience.

There were also several groups of fans who recognized Lu Yanlai and asked for autographs. At this time, Su Mo stood a little further away and waited quietly. Originally, when fans saw such a handsome guy next to Lu Yan, they were desperately trying to recall whether it was a not-so-famous star, but after thinking about it for a long time to no avail, they had to believe that the other party was not a star, otherwise such a face value It is impossible to forget the aura once you have seen it.

There were also fans who boldly asked who Lu Yan was. Lu Yan smiled lightly and replied "family". The fans took it for granted that they were brothers. Although they didn't look alike, they were handsome enough. It must be because of good genes. There were fans who wanted to take a group photo, but Lu Yan shook his head and refused, and the fans could only leave in disappointment.

The fan turned around and posted a message on Weibo, "I'm so lucky, I went to Hong Kong to play today and saw the male **** Lu Yan near Hung Hom. I asked for an autograph, but unfortunately I didn't take a group photo #grievance". PS: The brother of the male **** is also very handsome." Soon, the Weibo was reposted by a large number of comments, and everyone's focus was different.

"What? The male **** is near Hung Hom, I was there just now, why didn't I meet it, bad!"

"What? When did the male **** go to Hong Kong? How come I don't know."

"Otto is on the right. Today is the award ceremony of the Hong Kong Film Awards. The male **** Ji You has been nominated for the best actor. Now, of course, it is in Hong Kong."

"What? Lu Yan has a brother, never heard of it!"

"23333, I only noticed that he is also very handsome, these words. If the appearance can reach the level of a male god, it is definitely a good family gene."

"Well, although the temperament is different, but the appearance is definitely not worse than the male god. To be honest, I prefer the brother's style. It looks like the cool president's style, but unfortunately I didn't hear the sound. The kind that makes people's ears pregnant like a subwoofer is perfect. Ah ah ah, no, if I continue to make up my mind, I will betray the male god."

"No pictures, no truth, just talk shit."

…

Before the awards ceremony started, Su Mo entered the venue.

Lu Yan walked with Han Yuan on the red carpet. When the two male gods appeared on the red carpet, the fans crowded on both sides almost broke their throats. In addition to calling "Han Yuan" and "Lu Yan", there were also others. The ones called "Mr. Zhuang" and "Ji You", but later, only the voices of "together, together" are left.

The reporters on both sides kept waving to the two of them, "Look here, look here", "Lu Yan, Han Yuan, stop here for a while", "Here, here, take a photo together."

After walking through the red carpet and reaching the signature wall, various media are still waiting for interviews there. One of the reporters asked with a smile, "Do you two dress like this today as a couple?"

Tonight Lu Yan was wearing a white suit with a black bow tie on the white shirt, looking young and elegant. Han Yuan was in a black suit, looking calm and restrained. Thinking of the characters and images in their movies, it really has a little taste of lovers' outfits.

Han Yuan and Lu Yan smiled at each other, and answered tacitly, "It's just a coincidence."

After entering the venue, Lu Yan's eyes circled around the audience for a while, and soon he saw Su Mo sitting quietly there. Su Mo obviously sensed his gaze and raised his head to look in his direction. The eyes of the two met in the air, lingering for a while, Lu Yan gently bent the corner of his eyes, Su Mo couldn't help lowering his eyelashes, and when he raised his eyes again, Lu Yan's eyes were still watching him tenderly.

In the end, Lu Yan sat with the entire crew and didn't go to Su Mo's side. His position was further forward than Su Mo's. Although it was inconvenient to turn around frequently, he could always feel the gaze of the other party, and he felt very stable.

The best actor award is relatively low. In the previous awards, "Can't Help" only won one best supporting actress. The winner is Li Xue, who plays Chen Yao, which she won in major film festivals. For the first award, I was so excited that I burst into tears on the spot. Lu Yan looked at Li Xue and smiled slightly, and couldn't help but think of the first time he won the award, but it was a pity that the Best Supporting Actor at the Hundred Herbs Festival was the first award in his life, but it was a pity that at that time his The mentality is no longer young, nor can I experience that pure excitement. The actor who won in Cannes two years ago was also in his expectations, so he also dilutes the joy of winning the award. Lu Yan does not deny that he has a deep desire for this golden actor tonight, as if this is the first affirmation for him in two lifetimes. However, as he said in the exclusive interview, it is gratifying to get it, and it is not sad to miss it. He is still young, and he still has a lot of opportunities.

Immersed in his own thoughts, he applauded with the applause of the crowd, and he was not excited until the best actor presenter came to the stage.

The best actor presenter was Di Hong, one of Hong Kong's most famous actresses and a two-time Academy Award winner for best actress. She is the queen of comedy in Hong Kong, and her famous and representative works are comedy movies. When it is generally believed that the gold content of comedians is not as good as that in dramas, she was able to win the actress twice by virtue of her performance in comedy movies, which shows that her acting skills are very good.

One of Di Hong's hallmarks is her laugh, which looks particularly joyous and has a talent for comedy, but it is said that this is the result of her many years of practice. Although she always shows people in various bad images in the movies, she is actually a beauty even in the showbiz full of beautiful women.

Di Hong was wearing a long black evening dress tonight, with her hair rolled up in a high bun showing her snow-white neck, which made her skin white and beautiful against the background of the long black dress.

Di Hong walked to the front of the stage with a smile, chatted a few words with the master of ceremonies to lighten up the atmosphere, and then began to announce the shortlist. Although the finalists knew that they were shortlisted as early as early February, the real complete list was only announced at this time.

There are five nominations for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, namely, Han Yuan's "Can't Help"; Lu Yan's "Can't Help"; Shen Feng's "Doomsday"; Read "Sunrise".

Before revealing the final answer, Di Hong said a few jokes to several winners, "Han Yuan, we are already old friends, and as an old friend for so many years, I should have hoped for you to win the prize. But you see that you have won so many awards, so you have to give young people a chance. Well, if you win this time, you can invite me to dinner later; if you don't win, then I Just please. Okay?"

Han Yuan, who was sitting under the stage, smiled gently, nodded and said yes amid the roar of laughter at the scene.

Di Hong then smiled at Lu Yan, "Friends who know me well know that I have a problem, that is, I can't walk when I see a handsome guy. Lu Yan is the kind of handsome guy who can make me unable to walk." I really like Ji You very much. I cried when I watched the movie. To be honest, if I were a teenager, maybe I would chase you. So if you win the award tonight , just invite me for a drink."

There was another burst of laughter. Hong Kong is not a big place, and most of the old faces at the annual awards ceremony are familiar with each other. Therefore, compared with the general awards ceremony, the atmosphere is not so serious, and the presenters are also very open, and jokes can be said without any scruples. Lu Yan nodded in agreement with laughter.

Next, Di Hong and Shen Feng, Chi Yuhan and Li Nian also made similar jokes, and the tension at the scene disappeared in the continuous laughter.

After the joke, Di Hong opened the sealed letter in his hand, read the final result, then raised his head and said with a smile, "It seems that someone is going to invite me to drink. Best Actor at the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards. The winner is Lu Yan!"

When the final result was reported, Lu Yan's ears suddenly buzzed, and he couldn't hear it for a while. After the applause sounded, Lu Yan was still sitting, until Han Yuan next to him patted him, and he realized that he had won the award. Lu Yan stood up all of a sudden and shook hands with the nearest Han Yuan. Han Yuan got up and hugged him slightly, and said congratulations to him with a smile.

Lu Yan shook hands and hugged the people who congratulated him, and subconsciously searched for the gaze that had been watching him, and soon saw Su Mo's smile in the crowd.

Su Mo didn't come here on purpose, and he didn't have much reaction on the surface, but his dark and bright eyes seemed to be brighter, and the smile in his eyes seemed to overflow. He opened his mouth slightly and spoke to him silently. "Congratulations".

Lu Yan was so excited that his impetuous heart immediately settled down, returned him a shallow smile, turned and walked towards the stage.

Di Hong waited for Lu Yan to arrive on the stage, hugged him slightly with his arms outstretched, and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

Lu Yan whispered "Thank you".

Di Hong temporarily took the job of the host for a while, and interviewed the newest actor of the Academy Award, "How does it feel to win the award?"

Lu Yan smiled slightly, "Very excited."

Di Hong said with a smile, "But why can't I see that you are excited?"

"Well, it's probably because I'm good at acting. I told myself in my heart, Lu Yan, no matter how excited you are, you have to act as if nothing has happened, and don't be too rude." Lu Yan smiled.

Di Hong said, "Then you did a great job. Next, accept your trophy, and you can start delivering your acceptance speech."

Di Hong smiled and took the trophy of the Golden Statue Award from the box held by the etiquette, and handed it to Lu Yan, who also took it with both hands reverently.

Di Hong made a "please" gesture in the direction of the microphone, and walked off the stage with a smile.

Lu Yan calmed down, held up the microphone, thought about it, and said slowly, "Although I told myself to calm down, I was actually very excited. This is not the first time I have won this award, but every time is a new journey. , every one must have a weight that cannot be ignored. I know that getting this award does not mean that I have done better than others, but because everyone has given me more encouragement, and I will definitely be in this encouragement I will go on seriously and work hard. There are so many people to thank, first of all, the director Mr. Wang Yi and the senior Mr. Han Yuan, thank you for giving me this opportunity, and all the staff of the crew, I am very grateful that we can get along and cooperate together During this period of time, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. I would also like to thank all the friends who voted for me, thank you for your affirmation of me. Finally, the person I want to thank most, I can’t name his name yet , but the name has been engraved in the deepest part of my soul."

There was already a burst of roars of "yoyoyo" at the scene, and the better friends started to shout, "Speak up, speak up, speak up!"

Lu Yan smiled slightly, raised the trophy, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, his eyes crossed the crowd and fell on the man sitting there quietly, his eyes met, so affectionate, one thousand years!
