Chapter 117 Repeated Strikes
After stepping down, Li Xiaoshan realized that Li Yangzhong had just met Li Xiaoshan, and then he had the idea and offered to present him an award. Of course, it was before the ceremony, and the trophy was not yet determined, so no matter who won the Best New Actor Award, the award presenter would be Li Yangzhong. Fortunately, Li Xiaoshan really won the trophy.
The more prominent the award presenter, the more face the winner will naturally be. Even if Li Yang is not the biggest among all the guests present, there are only a handful of big names with prestige beyond him. So he can be regarded as giving Li Xiaoshan a great face today.
After each award was awarded, guests performed singing and dancing as usual. Li Xiaohu had never visited concerts much in his past and present life, nor had he had close contact with celebrities. At this time, he did not have the awareness of being a well-known director at all, and he watched with relish.
The awards of the Hundred Flowers Award are very monotonous, with only eight awards in total. In fact, when the Hundred Flowers Award was just born, there were as many as fifteen awards, but it was interrupted for more than ten years. After the recovery in 1980, the number of awards shrank significantly, and even two sessions reduced to only three awards left.
When the Chinese films emerged in this world, the Hundred Flowers Awards gradually recovered, and have been added to eight awards so far. But some of the strange things are that there are other regular film awards, but only the Best Screenwriter Award has never been restored. The lack of this award also indirectly shows that in the Chinese film industry, the screenwriter industry is not valued.
In some early domestic films, the signatures of screenwriters often appear on the first screen, and later the names are slowly moved back. To many films now cannot find the name of screenwriters. Unemployment leads to the loss of screenwriters' talents. In the past, the Chinese film and television industry even had a shortage of dramas because there were too few screenwriters and no one could find good scripts. But even in this case, the screenwriter industry is still not valued.
So many powerful screenwriters simply changed their positions to directors, writing scripts and filming themselves. Therefore, Chinese directors are very good at screenwriters. But in this way, the quality of their works can be imagined.
It took nearly an hour and a half for the eight awards of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards to be awarded. The host announced a break.
The next Golden Rooster Awards will have as many as twenty-three awards, and the time will definitely be longer. If you don’t stop taking a break, you will be afraid that few people can stand it for so long.
Li Xiaohu went to the bathroom, but came out and met Han Xiu, a little white-faced person. Li Xiaohu sometimes felt puzzled. Although there are indeed many handsome men and beautiful girls in the entertainment industry, the chances of being met by him are too high. For example, this guy in front of him is obviously a director, but he doesn't make a living by relying on his face, but he actually has such a white white-faced person.
"Li Xiaohu, please wait a moment," Han Xiu didn't seem to expect to run into Li Xiaohu. He hesitated for a moment before calling him, and said, "We seemed to have some misunderstandings just now. Can we delay you for a while and explain the matter clearly?"
"Oh?" Li Xiaohu held the corner of his mouth, "Actually there is nothing to misunderstand. If you want to invite Lin Yue as your heroine in the movie, just go find her. I will tell you that I am just Lin Yue's suitor, but I have no position to interfere with her decision."
"What? You are not Lin Yue's boyfriend?" Han Xiu exclaimed in amazement.
"Why do I feel a little bit of joy hidden in your eyes?" Li Xiaohu smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. There are more people pursuing Lin Yue, so my buddy won't care about you as a rival as you."
"A beautiful lady, a gentleman, I admit that I do have a good impression of Lin Yue. Although I am not as good as I like her, just by your words, I must catch up with Lin Yue and let you know the price of underestimating me." Han Xiu heard that Li Xiaohu and Lin Yue were not boyfriend and girlfriend, and immediately became confident.
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it," Li Xiaohu suddenly blinked behind Han Xiu and said with a smile: "Let's go back to the award ceremony..."
Han Xiu thought that Li Xiaohu's next words were said to him, and he couldn't help but feel confused, but then he saw Lin Yue coming out of the female bathroom behind him and was stunned.
The men and women's bathrooms were entwined on both sides. Han Xiu was facing away from the women's bathroom. He didn't know when Lin Yue was behind him, and of course he didn't know if she heard what she said just now.
"If Director Han wants to attack Li Xiaohu by pursuing me, then you must be mentally prepared to be hit first," Lin Yue took Li Xiaohu's arm, smiled and threw down a light word, and then walked away with Li Xiaohu.
Han Xiu didn't know when Lin Yue came out, but Li Xiaohu knew very well, so he deliberately induced Han Xiu. In fact, Lin Yue basically heard the conversation between the two of them just now, but she didn't say anything until Li Xiaohu called her and walked out.
This girl has a very special personality. She stood at the door of the bathroom and eavesdropped on two men. She couldn't do such things, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Of course, she was actually not considered eavesdropping, she listened openly.
Although Han Xiu's face was quite thick, it was not as bulletproof as it could be bulletproof. He was exposed in person and was naturally embarrassed and blushed with embarrassment. He just couldn't find a crack in the ground to get in.
"Haha, the cooperation is good, I don't know if that kid will leave psychological trauma," Li Xiaohu said with a smile.
"You are bored, okay? What a group of stupid people on earth... hilarious..." Lin Yue couldn't help but smile sly as she said.
‘Silly Earthlings’ is a line from “Love Apartment”, and it seems that Lin Yue is also a fan of “Love Apartment”.
However, Li Xiaohu still underestimated Han Xiu's thickness. Not long after the two returned to the award ceremony, Han Xiu also came back. The guy walked to Li Xiaohu with a stern face, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth: "Congratulations, Li Xiaohu, you have successfully angered me. We are now officially a competitor. I hope you don't regret your actions today in the future..."
"I said it a long time ago. I have always welcomed competition. As for regret, it is not too late to regret it when I buy the regret medicine," Li Xiaohu smiled heartlessly.
He knew that Han Xiu had made five films that were losing money in succession, but he was able to make a fortune in the circle and must have a strong background. But so what? The Chinese film market is now relatively mature, and no one can do it. Unless the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is the man's private place and can directly extinguish Li Xiaohu's movies in one fell swoop during the censorship stage, Li Xiaohu will not be afraid of anyone based on market competition alone.
In fact, every movie needs to compete with other movies in the same period when it is released. Competition is inevitable. It can be said that all film companies are natural competitors, and it doesn’t matter if there is one more.
The only thing that can hold the producer's neck is the theater chain, but theater chains have always had milk and mothers. As long as the movie quality is up, it can bring box office. No one will keep money out. No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot be overestimated with money, so Li Xiaohu really has nothing to worry about.
"Hmph, how about we bet? I bet you will definitely return empty-handed tonight and you won't get a single prize." Han Xiu probably knew that it was really a difficult thing to make things difficult for Li Xiaohu, so he had to choose the aspects he was good at and attack Li Xiaohu.
"Brother, I only have one nomination. As long as I can't win this award, I will naturally return empty-handed. What's so strange about this?" Li Xiaohu sneered disdainfully and said, "Director Han should take good care of yourself. You guys don't make a living by winning the award, but if you can't win the award tonight, it's embarrassing."
Han Xiu's face changed and he felt very depressed. Who does not pay attention to winning the award? But Li Xiaohu doesn't care whether he wins the award or not, because he basically copied this "Nightclub". Even if he wins the award, it can only be considered stolen and has no glory. Han Xiu wanted to use this to attack Li Xiaohu, but he made a mistake in the plan. Instead, Li Xiaohu made a random counterattack, but instead made him more worried about gains and losses.
