Chapter 259: The Three-Year Agreement Has Come
Han Zhou was blocked.
Stuck in the airport, unable to board the plane.
Han Zhou's fans in the United States frantically blocked the airport and did not give Han Zhou a chance to leave.
Han Zhou looked at An Lan. An Lan said, "Why are you looking at me? I can't write a book."
Han Zhou looked at Darf who came to see him off. Darf shrugged and said, "What are you looking at?"
Han Zhou silently patted Darf and said, "Don't say this when you get to China. Forget about the rest. You'll get beaten if you say this."
To this day, Darf still believes that he is learning standard Mandarin. He also wonders why when he watches Han Zhou's works, only a few people have the same accent as him.
Han Zhou jokingly told him: "Mandarin is too difficult to learn. You have to be extremely gifted to learn it. You are a one in a million genius."
Although Darf didn't understand China, he still felt something was wrong after a long time.
But, the accent cannot be changed.
Effinic told Han Zhou that the fans were all there to ask for books.
"It's been so long since any works have been published."
"God Han, do you know how we have been through these two years?"
Han Zhou smiled: "Play Tanwan Lanyue?"
Effinic: “???”
Han Zhou: "Okay, okay, I get it. There will definitely be literary works published in the near future."
Effinique: "It's not a sonnet, is it?"
Han Zhou laughed awkwardly after being exposed: "How is that possible? Am I that kind of person? It's just a novel after all."
Effinic immediately shouted the news over a loud speaker.
The noise of book lovers exploded.
Han Zhou took the opportunity to slip away.
After getting on the plane, Han Zhou and An Lan sat in the first class cabin and smiled at each other.
The two had just met each other back then, and after every competition, they would take the train to Xiaoxian.
It was a winter.
It's winter again, and we're sitting together again.
But this time, there were no big icicles at the joints.
A journey is about to end, and a new journey has begun.
The young man who had plunged into this circle like a fool at the beginning, his net worth is now difficult to calculate. Sitting in the first-class cabin, several stewardesses are staring at him.
They just hoped that Han Zhou would leave his seat, go to the bathroom, or do something, so that they could take a photo with him.
However, Han Zhou does not have Han Zhou's kidney, which is still brand new and very useful.
Before getting off the plane, the flight attendants found an opportunity to take a photo with Han Zhou.
An Lan and Han Zhou stood in the middle, surrounded by a group of flight attendants.
When signing, a stewardess asked cautiously: "Goddess An, Lao Han, are you really a couple?"
Almost no fans would ask this question.
As their fan base grew, almost all of them were fans of the only one of theirs.
Even though the die-hard fans at the beginning have grown to the current size of six groups of 4,000 people, they are almost invisible after being merged into the overall fan base.
I just met such a person today.
Logically, this question should not be asked, but she asked it anyway.
"I've been a fan of you for three years."
"It has always been rumored that you are a couple, but it has not been made public."
"Yeah?"
An Lan looked at Han Zhou.
She was a college student then, and now, she is already twenty-three.
Han Zhou had just graduated from college and is now twenty-six years old.
It seems that for this entertainment industry, they are still very, very young and are far from the age of getting married.
An Lan suddenly remembered what Han Zhou said three years ago.
Also looked at Han Zhou.
Han Zhou didn't say anything, but drew a heart between An Lan's signature and his own signature in the stewardess's autograph book .
"Ah!" The flight attendants around were very happy.
Although the flight attendant who asked the question did not get an answer, she was very satisfied.
After getting off the plane, An Lan suddenly asked, "Are you going to fulfill your promise?"
Han Zhou looked at An Lan: "Is it time?"
An Lan laughed and put his hands in his trouser pockets out of habit.
It's about to begin.
When the show returned this time, it was already January and the award season had really begun.
The three gold awards, Golden Magnolia, Golden Lily and Golden Image, will be held consecutively.
In addition, the White Snow Film Festival in the Bear Country, the Golden Bear and Palme d'Or in Europe, the Golden Globe and the Oscars in the United States are all coming.
…
Xiamen, after a year and a half, Han Zhou came here again.
The last time was when "The Sun Also Rises" was released.
This time, it is because this year's Golden Lily will be held here.
In the large suite, Wang Xiya was preparing clothes for Han Zhou.
Wang Xiya prepared a dress, and An Lan also prepared a dress.
But the two still gave Han Zhou the right to choose.
Han Zhou can choose between Wang Xiya’s pants or Wang Xiya’s clothes, or An Lan’s pants or An Lan’s clothes.
They are all multiple-choice questions, and after you choose one, you will get the answer to the other one directly.
This time, it was a dark blue top and a pair of dark purple trousers.
To be honest, after putting them on, if you don’t tell me, you can’t tell they are not the same set because the patterns are very similar.
Speaking of this matter, all the major brand-name suits are very uncomfortable every time.
Because I want to post a picture to brag about myself, I can only brag like this [At this award ceremony, Han Zhou wore the top of our XX suit].
This is very confusing.
If someone asks: "What about pants? Are your pants not good enough?" how should you answer?
So far, their operations have not been figured out.
But this time, Hun was extremely excited because the pants and clothes were both from his family, although they were not the same set.
Han Zhou still walked across the red carpet very quickly, still without stopping for too long.
Although many people wanted to chat with Han Zhou, especially those who stayed on the red carpet for a long time, they were all the hottest stars recently.
But Han Zhou didn't say much.
Because Han Zhou doesn't care about the popularity of others when making friends, because they are definitely not as popular as himself.
After entering the award ceremony, Han Zhou did not sit in the front row, but sat next to Wang Xiya.
This time, An Lan did not attend.
It was not convenient for An Lan to attend either.
She and Wang Xiya had reached a tacit understanding that Wang Xiya would go to film awards, and she would accompany Han Zhou to music awards.
Normally, An Lan would also attend domestic award ceremonies, and the three of them would sit next to each other.
But this time, An Lan didn't come.
Han Zhou knew the reason very well.
I said three years ago that in three years, I would win all the Best Actor awards, achieve the highest position in the entertainment industry, and then publicly date An Lan.
This awards season, every film awards ceremony means that we are getting closer to this goal.
The person accompanying him was Wang Xiya.
Whenever Wang Xiya attends such occasions, she is always calm and never dresses too flashily. She has never been interested in competing with female stars to see who is more beautiful.
Every time, she would sit in the back.
Even though the big bosses of other companies actually sit very close to the front.
Today Wang Xiya still sat very far back.
But after Han Zhou sat over, many cameras were pointed at this side.
Wang Xiya smiled and lowered her voice: "Have you reversed the time difference?"
Han Zhou pulled up his shirt sleeves after taking his seat: "It seems that I don't need to adjust to the time difference. Maybe I'm used to sleeping on an irregular schedule."
If it was at the beginning of last year, Han Zhou really couldn't adapt. Back then in the military camp, he would count the seconds to fall asleep.
A year has passed, some habits remain, some habits cannot be kept.
On the stage, awards were announced one by one.
The host would occasionally joke to liven up the atmosphere and would also mention Han Zhou.
When everyone looked over, Han Zhou smiled.
Finally, some interesting awards started to be announced on stage.
For example, the Best Art Award.
At this time, Aunt Mao was receiving the award on the stage.
There used to be a Best Makeup Award, but later Han Sisheng felt that this award was unnecessary, so he cancelled it.
He certainly could not have imagined that one day he would have a movie that might sweep all the awards. He canceled several awards at the time, resulting in him winning fewer awards today.
Aunt Mao accepted the award on stage, thanking her colleagues in the crew while complaining: "Han Zhou's aesthetic taste is very high when he is making movies, and everyone can see it."
"But his taste in clothes and stuff is also obvious to everyone."
Everyone was laughing. The camera was turned over and Han Zhou also laughed and clapped.
When the camera moved away, Han Zhou's face became calm.
Wang Xiya smiled and said, "Not happy? Why don't you smile when you get the award?"
“Are you worried that you won’t win the most important awards?”
Han Zhou then smiled: "Very happy."
Wang Xiya looked at Aunt Mao who was holding the trophy high on the stage and said softly, "Men must keep their promises."
Han Zhou turned his head and looked straight at Wang Xiya.
Wang Xiya continued to look at the stage with a smile: "It's not what An An said, it's just that this girl is not very good at hiding secrets, I guessed something."
Han Zhou knew that Wang Xiya, who was smiling all the time, was actually feeling very uncomfortable.
Han Zhou also felt uncomfortable.
It is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beautiful woman.
Han Zhou once secretly asked Chen Feng how to deal with this matter.
Chen Feng said: "I can't let her down."
Han Zhou asked: "If you get married, what about Sister Yiling?"
Chen Feng: "I can't let your sister Yi Ling down."
Han Zhou: "Then you said it in vain?"
Chen Feng: "You have to ask."
At this moment, Han Zhou looked at Wang Xiya very seriously: "People like me are commonly known as scumbags on the Internet."
"Does a scumbag also need to keep his promise?"
Wang Xiya patted Han Zhou's knee and said, "This damn scumbag is still a man."
"And you're not."
Wang Xiya was only suffering from one thing, that is, Han Zhou once made a promise to An Lan.
Although Wang Xiya didn't know what it was specifically, she knew that it was a three-year agreement that was related to Han Zhou's career.
This time, looking at Han Zhou's expression, Wang Xiya had already guessed what the promise was.
On stage, another award, Best Cinematography.
It’s still “Farewell My Concubine”.
Before coming, almost everyone thought that the three major prizes, or to be more precise, the four major prizes, would never be given to other films, and should have been monopolized by "Farewell My Concubine".
But I understand it now.
If you can't handle the committee well, then you're all in.
But no one can feel dissatisfied.
The most we can complain about is that the meat has been eaten, the soup has been drunk, and there is not even a lick of the plate left for us?
But, I never got the chance to lick it.
This year, the first heavyweight awards announced were Best New Actor and Best New Actress.
These two awards, including the Best New Actor Award, were given to Zheng Xiaolong.
No one expected this award.
Because Zheng Xiaolong has been famous for two years.
But if you think about it carefully, Zheng Xiaolong became famous because of the TV series, and the reason why he became famous is entirely because the TV series is too perverted.
On the big screen, Zheng Xiaolong is truly a newcomer and is qualified to receive this award.
After all, Zheng Xiaolong was originally famous for his martial arts. This time, he unexpectedly played the role of Xiao Douzi, the teenage version of Cheng Dieyi. His delicate and self-centered performance surprised many people.
The Best New Actress award went to Yan Hong.
A new actor under New World, this is his first film appearance after graduating from drama school.
She plays the role of Xiaodouzi's mother, the female character Yanhong.
When the wonderful scenes were played back on the screen, it was the scene where Yanhong was kneeling on the ground.
The expressions were captured so accurately that many veteran actors were stunned when they saw it for the first time.
It's the kind of performance where a woman wants to flatter a man, ask for something, and has no dignity at all.
Let me put it this way, anyone who has been a mistress for ten years wouldn’t be able to act like this.
Combined with her already outstanding appearance, it is absolutely undisputed.
Many men watching this scene were wondering which service industry venue there really was such a person. Even if it cost them six figures, they would go and give it a try.
They also knew very well that this was definitely not her inherent talent and spirituality. If this were the case, she should have gotten the opportunity and become famous while still in college.
Therefore, all this is because Han Sisheng or Han Zhou is good at training actors. It doesn’t really matter who it is.
The important thing is that this actress has taken off and her future is limitless.
The awards were presented one by one, until the most important award of all, Best Screenwriter, when Han Zhou appeared in person.
The applause at the scene also became several levels louder.
Han Zhou thanked many people on the stage, even including his partners, just to thank Wang Xiya.
Han Zhou was far away and didn't see it, but when he mentioned Wang Xiya's name, Wang Xiya broke down in tears.
The tears kept flowing like a faucet being turned on.
When Han Zhou came back with the award, he found that Wang Xiya's eyes were a little red, but he didn't realize that Wang Xiya had cried.
Wang Xiya didn't dress up much today and just came here.
Han Zhou thought that if it was Wang Xiya three years ago, without makeup, she would definitely shock the whole audience. That kind of pure temperament like the school beauty with the highest standards was only covered up by Wang Xiya's very sexy and exaggerated outfits.
Now, after a few years, that pure temperament has become more beautiful.
Not so shocking anymore.
But the closer you get, the more fascinating it becomes.
If it were fine on normal days, at this moment, Wang Xiya, who had just cried, looked pitiful.
Han Zhou placed the trophy in her hand and then was in a daze.
On the stage, there was another heavyweight award, Best Director.
This time, it was Han Sisheng who took the stage.
When Han Sisheng received the award, the applause from the audience was like thunder, not just a description.
"I have to thank Han Zhou for this award. Actually, I only shot half of the movie. The other half was shot by Han Zhou. He also had more ideas on how to shoot it. So I guess I got this award from Han Zhou."
"Thank you for your support, thank you."
Han Sisheng said this calmly, but Han Zhou in the audience actually looked even uglier, as he was getting closer and closer to the prize.
When the Best Actress award was won by Zhao Ziyu who played Juxian.
Han Zhou's expression showed his unhappiness clearly.
Life is really painful.
Three years ago, I was penniless but vowed to win all the Best Actor awards.
Today, it's all coming.
Han Zhou didn't want it anymore.
But, I have to take it.
"Next, here are the Best Actor nominees!"
"Cheng Dieyi and Han Zhou from Farewell My Concubine."
Amidst the applause, the host said: "Farewell My Concubine, Duan Xiaolou, Wu Li."
There was laughter at the scene.
The host continued: "Xin Xiaofeng and Tang Zhou from "The Burning Sun"."
Many people at the scene changed their expressions.
If the two protagonists of Farewell My Concubine were selected, it would be unexpected, but it is very reasonable.
When the name "Burning Sun" came out, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
This is also a movie by Han Zhou and also a movie by New World.
Are you planning to take up all the finalists?
In fact, it is unlikely that Xin Xiaofeng will win the Golden Lily for his role, but he may win another award.
If there really is a competition, then Yi Guchun and Zhang Ceyong will be selected.
"The Khans of the Past - Madhokhan Singh."
This name sounds like an Indian aristocratic name. Even if you don’t know him, you know that he should be the male lead in an Indian movie.
Someone laughed and said, "It seems that the judges feel that if they don't find a few good opponents for Han Zhou, this award won't reflect his status as the best actor."
"Hahaha, that seems to be the case. However, there really wasn't a male lead with outstanding performance in China last year. It's normal to choose one of the foreign language films nominated for the award. Fortunately, there was Farewell My Concubine last year, otherwise this Singh might have won the award."
"Impossible. If it weren't for Singer, maybe Chuck Yong would be nominated for Best Actor."
In fact, what industry insiders discussed is quite correct.
If Farewell My Concubine was not there, the person nominated would definitely not be Xin Xiaofeng but Yi Guchun.
Sitting in his seat, Han Zhou looked at Wang Xiya: "Xia, I don't want this award anymore."
Wang Xiya pinched Han Zhou's thigh and said, "Are you a child? Just say no and that's it."
“That’s not how the game is played.”
Han Zhou was silent.
When Wang Xiya announced it, she whispered, "I will always be with you until you win all the Best Actor awards."
At this moment, the stage was announcing: "The winner of the Golden Lily Best Actor Award is... Cheng Dieyi from Farewell My Concubine, Han Zhou!"
Therefore, only Han Zhou could hear what Wang Xiya said.
But Han Zhou would rather not hear it.
Han Zhou also forgot how he got to where he is today.
For a man, career is really a sharp knife that can cut off everything from the past.
Wang Xiya pushed Han Zhou and said, "Go and claim your award quickly?"
Everyone around turned to look at Han Zhou, laughing and applauding: "Great!"
“Well-deserved.”
Han Zhou had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. Wang Xiya smiled and said, "He himself didn't expect that he could win three gold awards for Best Actor at such a young age."
"I'm so happy I'm stupid."
But everyone is used to it. For Han Zhou, it is not normal for him to look so gloomy after winning the award. After all, it would be abnormal if he were normal.
Amid the clamor of the crowd, Han Zhou stood up, pursed his lips, high-fived and shook hands with those around him who were congratulating him, and then walked up.
Along the way, many old acquaintances reached out their hands and high-fived me one by one.
Standing on the stage, Han Zhou looked down at the audience, then at the trophy in his hand, and finally approached the microphone: "Before, I had rehearsed in my dreams what it would be like when I won the Golden Lily Award for Best Actor."
Everyone laughed.
Han Zhou: "After I got it, I felt lost."
You are such a pretentious guy. You said you lost it after you got it. We will give you what we can. Since you are Han Zhou, we will tolerate it.
Han Zhou did not continue, but raised the trophy : "Thank you to everyone who participated in the filming and release of Farewell My Concubine. Thank you again."
After saying that, he walked off the stage.
The host at the back was still using a particularly exaggerated voice: "The youngest actor in the history of Golden Lily, the benchmark of the new generation of the entertainment industry, let us give Han Zhou a round of applause to bid farewell!"
Returning to his seat, Han Zhou saw that Wang Xiya's eyes had become even redder.
He held out the trophy in his hand: "This is for you."
Wang Xiya looked at the trophy in Han Zhou's hand and shook her head: "Didn't you realize that this was specially made for you by Golden Lily? It's different from previous years."
Han Zhou looked down.
In the past, the Golden Lily and Best Actor awards were like a blooming lily.
This year it is also a blooming lily, but on the front leaf, there is a small boat carved.
It was obviously intentional.
Han Zhou: "That's perfect. I'll give it to you."
Wang Xiya took a deep breath and took the trophy: I can't give you everything. What you take is a thousand times better than what I take.
On the stage, the best film is being announced.
The best screenplay went to "Farewell My Concubine" and the best director went to "Farewell My Concubine". Among all the awards nominated for "Farewell My Concubine", only one best supporting actress award was lost. There was really no third female character in this movie to win this award.
Among all the main awards, only one best debut film, "Farewell My Concubine", was not eligible.
All other awards were won.
Is there any doubt about the best film?
"Best Movie: Farewell My Concubine!"
Han Sisheng stood up and went to receive the award.
Wang Xiya asked: "Are you going to the Golden Bear Awards?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "The schedule conflicts with the program, so I can't go, so Fourth Uncle will go."
Wang Xiya: “Oh.”
Han Zhou: "I will go to the Academy Awards the week after next."
A sweet smile bloomed on Wang Xiya's face.
At the end of the award ceremony, Han Zhou stood up and turned around. He felt someone pulling his suit from behind, and then he felt someone patting his shoulder from the side.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a white and tender hand taking a piece of glitter from somewhere above his head.
Han Zhou suddenly said: "Let's go play."
Wang Xiya thought that she seemed to have seen photos of An Lan and Han Zhou playing in Xia City, so she said, "Okay."
