Magic City.
The tenth episode of "Real Challenge" was recorded.
Everyone arrived in the same car. After all, everyone was currently filming a TV series in Han Zhou's crew.
When we were recording variety shows before, everyone was just having fun, but after this period of contact with filming TV dramas... we are having more fun.
The theme of this episode is actually not very interesting, it’s “The Battle for Best Actor”.
Because the Shanghai Film Festival is being held, the theme of this issue is "Battle for Best Actor", and it is a team battle.
At the beginning, Han Zhou, Lu Jin and An Lan were assigned to one group, while Wang Mingyuan, Luo Daming and Rangbing were assigned to another group.
But each group has a mole.
In the end, it turned out that Lu Jin was a traitor in Han Zhou's group. He won the championship despite the pursuit and blockade by Han Zhou and An Lan.
"Lu Jin, you are becoming more and more bad."
"I have grown up!" Lu Jin laughed so hard that he was numb. He finally won a championship. This was the first time Lu Jin won a championship after the championship in "The Long and arduous Road of Life".
The previous championship was worse than not winning it.
However, this episode did not have any special highlights, and it is estimated that it will just maintain the ratings of the previous episode.
After the running-in period of "Real Challenge" was completed, the current viewership rating has soared to 2.9, which is simply terrifying.
It is estimated that the number can exceed three in the last issue.
And everyone wasn't having a particularly great time this time, because the film festival was going on and everyone had more than one thing to do in Shanghai.
Before leaving, several people still surrounded Han Zhou. Lu Jin said, "Brother Han, I have an event in Nanhu Province. Congratulations in advance for winning the Best Actor Award."
Han Zhou laughed: " I haven't received it yet."
Luo Daming: "Oh! I've watched most of the movies that have been nominated, and you have no rivals."
After filming "Real Challenge", Han Zhou didn't even have a rest at night.
I arrived at the advertising photo shoot location overnight and took photos of Longyi Clothing.
Longyi Clothing has planned a new summer clothing plan and has a new promotion. During the spokesperson contract period, Han Zhou can earn one million every time he takes a photo like this, so of course he has to take the photo.
At the shooting location, I took more than a dozen different photos of the same outfit.
The promotional plan only uses one photo, but Longyi Clothing and Han Zhou’s Weibo will both post a nine-grid photo.
And Han Zhou has another big job to do next.
That is wearing a Dragon Wing clothing suit and attending the Magic City Film Festival.
In order to cooperate with this film festival, Longyi Clothing certainly could not give Han Zhou a ready-made suit.
Instead, three sets were cut and made by hand.
In the end, Han Zhou chose a pure black suit.
Then, back at the hotel, Han Zhou began producing songs for the film festival performance.
Busy, I can only say that I'm as busy as a dog.
After finishing "The Voice of Dark Gold", I went to the crew to shoot for two days, and then went to Shanghai to shoot "Real Challenge", and then there was the film festival.
Five days have passed and the first episode of "The Voice of Dark Gold" was broadcast. One day later, we have to prepare for the second episode of "The Voice of Dark Gold".
If the speedrun hadn't collapsed before and Han Zhou hadn't recruited a music production team, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to sleep tonight.
However, this music production team only has a week to produce the soundtrack for the next episode of "The Voice of Dark Gold", so since the film festival invited Han Zhou to perform this time, he had to stay up late to do it himself.
Early in the morning, when Wang Xiya came and knocked on the door, Han Zhou looked very tired and opened the door unsteadily.
Then he fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Han Zhou just felt someone calling him, but he really didn't want to move.
After a while, Han Zhou felt someone raising his hand and raised his head in confusion.
Wang Xiya tied a red rope around Han Zhou's wrist.
Next to him, An Lan was carefully checking whether there was any lint or dust on Han Zhou's suit.
Han Zhou looked at the red string, a little confused: "Huh?"
Wang Xiya: "I heard that your crew was haunted, so I went to Mount Putuo to get two amulets for you and An An."
Han Zhou sat up and rubbed his head: "Amulet? Oh, ah?"
"Our crew is not haunted, it's the hotel that is haunted..."
An Lan turned around and said, "How about we change hotels?"
Han Zhou: "It's very expensive..."
I absolutely cannot change it just for the 40% discount!
Wang Xiya: "The news came from inside that you are all going to win awards today. You look very haggard now..."
"You can't go on stage like this."
Han Zhou got up and said, "I'm going to go exercise."
Han Zhou finally had a chance to rest, and he sweated in the gym.
There is no way. If I sleep for a whole morning, coupled with the recent fatigue, my eye bags will be very big and my face will be swollen.
Exercise is better for adjusting the body than sleeping.
Although ordinary people would definitely choose to sleep instead of exercising, for artists, there is no way around it.
In the afternoon, Han Zhou and the other two arrived at the film festival and walked the red carpet.
Wang Xiya was not going to walk the red carpet, so An Lan and Han Zhou walked the red carpet together.
A large number of reporters flashed their cameras.
"An Lan, did you participate in "The Voice of Dark Gold"? "
"Goddess Ann, is your first album ready?"
"An Lan, there is news that you are working with Han Zhou again and participating in the filming of the TV series "The World's Number One"? "
A lot of questions were asked, but An Lan smiled and did not respond.
Han Zhou thought that no one would ask him questions if he stood next to An Lan, but some people still asked him questions.
"Han Zhou, you won the Best Actor award at the Snow White Film Festival, but failed in New York. Are you confident that you can win the Best Actor award at the Shanghai Film Festival this time?"
Han Zhou was not being polite: "Of course I hope to win the Best Actor award, and I also hope that An Lan will win the Best Actress award. After all, this is an award at the Art Film Festival, and there are fewer competitors."
A reporter held out the microphone and asked: "Han Zhou, are you participating in "The Voice of Dark Gold"? There is a debate online that your singing skills are not good enough to participate in "The Voice of Dark Gold", but some people think that your singing skills are good enough to participate in "The Voice of Dark Gold"."
Han Zhou smiled and didn't reply.
An Lan: "After the song "The Moon Causes Trouble", Han Zhou's singing ability has been determined. Han Zhou's singing ability can participate in any singer variety show, but he probably didn't go? We are filming in Tang City."
This is a side answer to the rumors about "The World's Number One".
The reporter immediately changed the subject: "Is it the best in the world? There is a table online saying that Lu Jin, Tang Zhou, Ye Manyi, Yang Jun, and Zhao Ziyu have all joined the crew. Is this a costume idol drama?"
Han Zhou poked his head in: "This is a costume martial arts drama."
The reporter asked again: "So are you guys really playing a couple?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "No."
An Lan smiled: "We are not a couple, we are playing a couple."
The reporter caught Han Zhou and An Lan and questioned them for a long time.
Later someone else walked onto the red carpet.
Han Zhou looked back and didn't recognize him.
At this time, several reporters came over and squeezed aside the reporters who were asking questions to Han Zhou and An Lan, and started taking pictures of the of stars.
An Lan looked back and lowered her voice: "The male and female protagonists of "February", Li Haoyong and Chen Cheng."
Han Zhou was a little surprised: "Direct competitor? Wait, Li Haoyong, awesome..."
"Great Bang Country."
It seems to be Lu Jin and Chen Yin’s former teammate.
Han Zhou smiled and said, "Let's go and leave it to others to take the photos."
As soon as Han Zhou and An Lan left, reporters followed them to the front of the red carpet.
Li Haoyong's side was empty.
You are looking at the scenery in front of the window, and the people looking at the scenery are looking at you on the bridge.
Li Haoyong's publicity team originally wanted to shoot a scene where a large number of media surrounded and filmed Li Haoyong.
I never expected it to fail.
Chen Cheng whispered, "That girl is the daughter of An Shengnan, the leader of Global China, and Liu Jianxi, the president of Mailang. Her grandmother is Huang Yi, a famous composer who specializes in writing revolutionary songs and receives government subsidies."
Li Haoyong seemed to be thinking: "I have heard of An Lan's name. They should be making a country movie this time, right?"
Chen Cheng: "That's not called a country movie, it's called a local movie."
At this time, Han Zhou and An Lan had already entered the venue.
Someone led the two to the sixth row.
Han Zhou was a little confused. The sixth row?
An Lan wanted to take a seat, but Han Zhou smiled and said, "Sixth row."
At this time, Wang Mingyuan, who was sitting in the first row, saw Han Zhou and greeted him from a distance.
Han Zhou took a look and saw a new person he didn't recognize sitting behind Wang Mingyuan.
Any faces that Han Zhou couldn't remember should be newcomers, because Han Zhou would definitely remember them if he had seen them before.
Han Zhou frowned.
An Lan: "My family's business is not in the film industry, so it's normal for them not to give me face."
Han Zhou glanced back and saw Wang Xiya sitting far back.
"Let's just sit over there."
An Lan took a look and said, "Are you sure you don't want to sit in the seat they gave you?"
Han Zhou has not been in the circle for long, but he still knows some of the rules.
The sixth row is basically the marginal row.
Logically, after being nominated for so many awards, even the behind-the-scenes staff like Chen Dayong should sit in this row.
How come the leading actor is sitting in this row?
Han Zhou: "Let's go to the back."
After sitting down next to Wang Xiya, Han Zhou whispered, "What's going on?"
Wang Xiya whispered: "I don't know, someone is causing trouble."
Han Zhou expected that the second row would be the best, the third row would be okay, and the fourth row would be acceptable.
The sixth row is not considered at all.
What do you want in the entertainment industry? It's face and reputation.
"It seems that I, Han, am still a newcomer in the industry."
Han Zhou sat down next to Wang Xiya.
After a while, the staff of the film festival came over after searching for a long time and whispered, "Teacher Han, Teacher , please go sit in the front."
The two of them haven't spoken yet.
Wang Xiya: “Go away.”
The staff of the film festival took one look at Wang Xiya and had no choice but to leave.
Although he was caught in the middle, he was a staff member of the film festival after all.
Han Zhou sat here and soon saw an old acquaintance.
Wei Yuan came over.
Wei Yuan has now been signed to Tianle by Wang Xiya, with a signing fee of up to 10 million.
Although screenwriters are not valued in China, when they reach Wei Yuan's level, they can still make a lot of money by changing their employers.
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Old Han, why are you here?"
Wei Yuan was originally going to make a joke about Wang Xiya and Han Zhou, but when he saw An Lan was there, he didn't say a word.
…
The Shanghai Film Festival is not one of the three major film festivals, nor is it even one of the five major film awards, so not that many stars come.
Some first-line stars and movie kings came just to give face, and more people were selected by the crew.
So the red carpet event didn't last too long.
The venue filled up quickly.
The film festival was not broadcast live on television, only online, and not many people watched it.
After the host teased a few stars to liven up the atmosphere, the first award was the Best New Actress Award.
An Lan was shortlisted.
However, the winner was Chen Cheng from "February".
Several people were not surprised by this award.
Because there are unspoken rules in the industry, those who have won the Best Actor or Best Actress awards cannot win the Best Newcomer award.
In other words, since Chen Cheng won the Best New Actress Award, An Lan has almost secured the Best Actress Award.
It seems that Liu Jianxi did put in some effort, even though he didn't come in person.
Then, something happened that many people at the scene did not expect.
"Best New Actor Award, winner: Han Zhou from "Hello Mr. Tree", character Mr. Tree!"
"Congratulations!"
Congratulations? Winning the Best New Actor award means you'll lose the Best Actor award.
Han Zhou was about to stand up, but Wang Xiya pulled him back and said, "You can turn against me."
Han Zhou smiled and stood up: "No."
To put it bluntly, the Shanghai Film Festival is an art film festival.
Those are the only art films produced last year that are worth watching.
Almost every film has at least three nominations.
"Hello Mr. Tree" was nominated for nine awards, which shows one thing: there were almost no movies that could compete with "Hello Mr. Tree" last year.
But Han Zhou was not surprised that he did not win the Best Actor award.
There are four major awards in a film awards program.
Best Actor, also known as the Best Actor award, and Best Actress, also known as the Best Actress award.
Best Director, Best Film.
Among them, the Best Actor award is the most important, followed by Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress.
The probability of these four awards being given to the same film is not high.
Maybe the film festival wants to give "Hello Mr. Tree" the Best Director Award.
In this case, since he directed and acted in the film himself, it is indeed too much to think about the Best Actor award.
So, it’s not the time to turn against each other.
After he got on the stage, Han Zhou raised the trophy and said, "Thank you...thank you...thank you...have I thanked you all? Oh, by the way, screenwriter Wei Yuan helped a lot with this film, but the screenwriter team was not credited. Thank you! Also, thank you to the producer, thank you to the investors, thank you!"
After saying that, Han Zhou stepped down.
I thanked everyone except the jury.
The next awards were given out in a somewhat strange way.
Logically, the poorly produced "Hello Mr. Tree" should not have the chance to win any small awards, but!
“Best Film Music – “Hello Mr. Tree” and “Train is Leaving” performed by Chen Feng!”
Han Zhou looked around and found that Chen Feng was really there.
After Chen Feng came on stage, he stared at Han Zhou and said, "Han Zhou, thank you!"
Everyone laughed.
Chen Feng laughed: "I actually really like this song 'Train is Leaving'. I didn't expect that everyone likes it too. This song is a breakthrough for me in music. I didn't expect that one day I would win an award at a film festival. Maybe I should release more movie theme songs and interludes in the future."
There are generally two music awards at film festivals, one for soundtrack and one for music.
Soundtracks are usually sent to people, while music is sent to a specific song.
Chen Feng has never won the Best Music Award at a film festival.
After that, there was no more "Hello Mr. Tree".
All the way to the four major awards.
"The Best Actress Award goes to An Lan from Hello Mr. Tree, who gave us a stunning performance in her first film appearance. She won the award for her role as Xiaomei!"
"Congratulations!"
Han Zhou and An Lan looked at each other.
No problem.
Maybe the film festival staff made the wrong arrangements and moved my seat to the sixth row?
An Lan, who was sitting far back, stood up and went on stage under the attention of the whole audience.
“This is the first film award I have ever received in my life.”
"When Han Zhou persuaded me to play the leading female role, I didn't think I could win an award. Later, Han Zhou rewrote the script. After reading the script, I felt that if I could perform one-third of the sincerity of this role, I might win an award."
“I just thought about it, but I didn’t expect to actually win the award.”
"Thanks to the film's producer Wang Xiya, thank you to the director Han Zhou, and thank you to the crew members, thank you!"
Someone at the scene started to make a noise: "Goddess An, stop singing and become an actress in the future!"
An Lan smiled and said: "Singing doesn't affect filming. I will play more good roles for everyone in the future."
Next up, the Best Director Award.
The final winner was Zhou Huayi, director of "Lonely Wind".
When the award was announced, Han Zhou and Wang Xiya both frowned.
No award for Best Actor or Best Director?
Wang Xiya: "I didn't expect the program team to send you a message saying that you won an award, not Best Actor or Best Director, but Best Newcomer."
Han Zhou shook his head: "It seems that I still need to work harder."
Wang Xiya: "I have seen "The Lonely Wind", it is unbearable to watch."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Xiya, and shook his head: "It's a foregone conclusion."
Wang Xiya held on to her hope: "Is there a possibility that the film festival officials will make an exception and allow you to win both the Best Newcomer and Best Actor awards?"
Han Zhou thought about it and realized that you are overthinking it.
Sure enough, it was just as Han Zhou imagined.
"The Best Actor award goes to... Li Haoyong from "February"! The winning character is Wu Han! Congratulations!"
In the front row, Wang Mingyuan turned around and looked at Han Zhou.
Han Zhou was amused by Wang Mingyuan.
It seems that the real film festival is much more complicated than the "dark side" and "struggles" shown in "Real Challenge" and "Protecting the Best Actor Award".
At this time, a staff member from the film festival came over and invited Han Zhou to go backstage to prepare for the performance.
Before the best film is announced, the performance at this time is like a break, and it also sets off the final suspense.
Wang Xiya held Han Zhou's thigh, and An Lan also pulled Han Zhou: "Don't sing."
Han Zhou: "Let go, I'll go sing."
Both women looked at Han Zhou.
The festival staff was also embarrassed.
Before the final award for Best Film, the host chatted with everyone.
Soon, Han Zhou received the signal and went backstage.
So he said: "Now, please invite Han Zhou to perform the song "Magic City Night" for everyone."
At this time, Han Zhou in the backstage said: "Give me a guitar."
Behind the scenes of the film festival, the deputy director of the gala begged and pleaded: "Teacher Han, please don't do it, please don't do it!"
"I know you feel wronged."
"But if it gets to the stage..."
Han Zhou: "Just change the song."
"You can change the winner if you are sure of the award, and I can also change the song I am sure to sing."
The assistant director frowned: "Are you sure you don't want to cause trouble?"
Han Zhou: "Give me the guitar, or..."
As Han Zhou was speaking, he pulled out the USB flash drive that he had brought with him to the organizing committee earlier and broke it.
"If you don't change it, I won't sing."
The assistant director looked up to the sky and sighed: "Give me a guitar. What the hell are you all standing there for? Where's the guitar?!"
Han Zhou went on stage carrying his guitar on his shoulders.
The host felt strange when he saw Han Zhou's appearance, but he had heard about Han Zhou's story. He smiled and said, "Han Zhou, I heard that you composed a song specifically for tonight's party."
"We all know that you have great creative talent. I wonder where the inspiration for this song "Magic City Night" comes from?"
Han Zhou leaned closer to the microphone and said, "I'll sing a song called 'Kill That Changshan Man' for everyone."
The whole scene was awkward.
Someone started to cheer: “Oh!!!!”
Some people even shouted from the audience: "What did we Changshan people do to you...hahahaha!"
The host's mind flashed through all the bad scenes in his entire career, and then flashed back to all the rescue scenes in his life.
Finally I found that I couldn't say anything.
This scene exploded.
In the audience, someone from the organizer took off his glasses, looked very dissatisfied, and asked the staff nearby about something.
Han Zhou was wearing a suit and carrying a guitar: "Shall I start now?"
The host didn't know what to say and just gave up his seat.
Someone hurried up to the stage and whispered, "Teacher Han, we agreed to perform 'Magic City Night'!"
Han Zhou glanced at him and said, "I don't want to sing this song anymore."
The man lowered his voice and covered his mouth: "Teacher Han, there is still a final award, the best film is "Hello Mr. Tree"
Han Zhou: "Whatever you want."
It’s not about awards anymore.
Han Zhou knew that his tree was at least 95% of the original one.
Who is being insulted if he can’t get the Best Actor award?
The one being insulted is... Wang Xiya !
The logic is very complicated. If the award is based on acting skills, Han Zhou knows that he deserves to be elected the best actor in this art film.
If we talk about the power behind it, "Hello Mr. Tree" now belongs to Tianle. With this quality and Tianle's status, this award cannot possibly fall into the hands of others.
So, this matter must be made public.
Don't make a fuss, even if it means you're sorry to Wang Xiya.
Not only Wang Xiya, Han Zhou also stood on the side of Tianle Group this time.
Originally, Wang Xiya wanted to turn hostile, but Han Zhou had to come in person.
Moreover, in addition to these reasons, there is an even more important reason that forced Han Zhou to come on stage and confront the Shanghai Film Festival.
Does anyone here know what it feels like when someone dies?
No one knows except Han Zhou.
“It’s such a pity when someone dies.”
It's a pity that I don't have the courage to do some things.
Regret that some things that should have been done were not done.
Don’t leave any regrets in life, otherwise what’s the point of living again?
Han Zhou sighed: "A Night in the Magic City"? You can sing it anywhere else but not on this stage. Is your film festival worthy of it?
The staff member took a deep breath and walked off the stage.
Han Zhou plucked the strings of the zither.
It doesn’t matter what you sing, what matters is what you don’t sing.
But since it's a song, I still have to take some responsibility towards my fans. After all, it's the stage of an art film festival, so let's sing a song that is extremely artistic, "Kill that Changshan Man".
Aren’t these small film festivals places for literary young people to make trouble?
Playing the guitar, Han Zhou leaned over to the microphone and did not start singing directly. Instead, he said, "I'm sorry to all the Changshan friends present here. I just thought of this suddenly. I have no problem with Changshan."
Who among those present could not hear the voice-over? I have no problem with Changshan, but I have a problem with the Shanghai Film Festival.
Chen Feng was holding the trophy and looking at it. At this time, he put the trophy on the ground at his feet.
The friend next to him laughed: "It's interesting."
Chen Feng: "Listen to some music. If it's good, it won't be a wasted trip."
Friend: "You didn't win the prize, so why did you come here for nothing?"
Chen Feng asked back: "What prize?"
My friend smiled and said, "You're asking even though you already know the answer. Best Music Award at the Shanghai Film Festival."
Chen Feng looked at Han Zhou on the stage seriously, ready to enjoy the performance: "Not even a dog would want this award."
