Chapter 372 Temptation Gate
"Fa Ge presented the award, so he probably didn't run away. Congratulations."
Chen Kun looked at the vacant seats in the "Bullet" crew, tilted his head and congratulated Qin Muchu with a smile.
Not only him, but many people around looked at Qin Muchu with smiles on their faces. Even the awkward Yang Mi couldn't help but smile, pinched Qin Muchu secretly, and glared at him again.
I mean it won't be over when I go back tonight.
Qin Muchu chuckled and said, "It won't be over until it's over. I'll have a bed when I go back. He's playing at home, who's afraid of who."
"The organizer asked me to present the award. To be honest, I am very disappointed."
"How can you say this, Brother Fa?"
On the stage, two award-giving guests were already in place.
In addition to Zhou Runfa, there is also Wu Junru.
"Because I don't have a chance to win the prize. I'm also a newcomer."
Zhou Runfa said seriously.
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
The atmosphere of the Academy Awards is not so serious. There are often jokes and jokes on stage, and the scale is usually relatively large.
In recent years, it has become more in line with the mainland and has gradually converged.
But it also divides people.
Just like Wu Junru, she laughed immediately after hearing Zhou Runfa's words:
"Wow, Brother Fa, if you are a newcomer, wouldn't I be a young lady?"
There was another burst of laughter, and the director was very playful and showed Chen Kexin the camera.
He immediately smiled and cupped his hands.
"Okay, I know I'm not."
Wu Junru looked like she was exposed and blew a kiss directly to the audience.
This kind of public display of affection naturally caused a burst of boos in the awards hall.
After a while of fussing, the two returned to the awards themselves.
"The profession of an actor, especially a new actor, is not easy. You have to be careful and please everywhere on the set, for fear of offending others. Brother Fa, do you have any unforgettable experiences of being down and out?"
"Yes, there are too many."
Zhou Runfa responded immediately and then said:
"But I won't say it. If I say it too harshly, it will scare people away from joining our industry. Today, there are two beautiful newcomers here."
Almost everyone turned their attention to the crew of "Bullet", next to Yang Mi.
Even the director cut the scene.
The confused expressions of Nazha and Reba appeared on the big screen.
At first, he was stunned, and soon his face quickly became red due to shyness and excitement.
I was cueed inexplicably!
Zhou Runfa laughed, did not click on them anymore, and continued what he just said:
"No matter what line of work you are in, it is normal to experience some hardships and grievances as a newcomer.
At this time, think more about the sweetness in the future and just persevere..."
A bowl of hot chicken soup was brought to everyone's mouths.
Although these words may sound a bit like standing up and talking without pain, and hypocrisy after success, it is indeed the mentality that should be maintained during the rookie period.
Nazha and Reba looked inspired. Among the people present, there was no one newer than them.
And because they had been cueed before, Zhou Runfa's words seemed to be specially addressed to them, and he wished he could take a note to write down his senior's "heartfelt words".
If Zhou Runfa's words ended here, it would be the advice of a very successful senior to his juniors.
If Nazha and Reba become famous in the future, this matter may be mentioned by the media and become a good story.
But the problem was that he didn't finish what he said, and it was his next words that changed the taste of the previous "advice".
"When you become successful and famous in the future, it will be a good thing. There are still many temptations waiting for you."
Zhou Runfa raised his eyebrows and smiled.
It’s self-evident what these so-called “good things” and “temptations” are.
The transition from "advice" to "driving" only takes a moment, and many people don't even react.
Except for some old drivers.
For example, Wu Junru immediately turned into a paparazzi and asked gossipily:
"Brother Fa, have you ever been tempted?"
At this point, it’s actually a bit off topic.
From "difficulties for newcomers" to "temptations for old people."
The former is somewhat relevant to the upcoming awards, but the latter is completely irrelevant.
But no one noticed, or no one cared.
The topic is even more fascinating.
Wu Junru asked with a gossipy face:
"Brother Fa, have you ever been tempted?"
"A lot. When I was filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there were actresses who wanted to get close to me, but they didn't succeed."
"..."
"Rough" such as Wu Junru was speechless for a while, staring at Chow Yun-fat with a faint smile with wide eyes.
She just asked casually, not expecting to get a reply.
I didn't even expect to get such a specific reply.
Looking at the equally astonished guests in the audience, I only had one thought in my mind.
"Wu Dazui" became "Zhou Dazui".
……
Ten o'clock at night.
As soon as the Academy Awards ceremony ended, overwhelming news spread on the Internet.
However, the news is not about the Academy Awards, but about "Temptation Gate".
What Zhou Yunfa said on the Hong Kong Film Awards stage was too explosive. Although he didn't name him by name, it wasn't much different.
It's easy to reason out.
In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there are only three actresses who have roles opposite Zhou Runfa, namely Yang Ziqiong, Zheng Peipei and Zhang Ziyi.
Zheng Peipei is an old actor, and she can be ruled out as a grandmother-level character.
And Yang Ziqiong is a famous martial arts actress, her status is no lower than Zhou Runfa, so there is no need to deliberately approach him.
Looking at it this way, the only candidate left was Zhang Ziyi, who was just starting out at the time. As a newcomer, it was most reasonable for him to join Zhou Runfa.
Moreover, she has always had a bad reputation and has various dark histories, so everyone thinks she is the most likely candidate.
But speculation is just speculation, and who it is depends on the real person.
Therefore, after the award ceremony, the media surrounded Zhou Runfa and asked for his name. Even Qin Muchu, who won the "Best Newcomer", was ignored.
On the car ride back to the hotel, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Nazha and Reba saw Qin Muchu frowning and saying nothing, and neither of them dared to speak.
Yang Mi had no scruples and asked directly:
"What, you're not happy about being ignored by the media?"
When Qin Muchu came back to his senses, he subconsciously wanted to say "it's okay" and put his troubles away.
But thinking about Yang Mi getting angry today because she kept it from her, she thought about it and decided to say it:
"Do you think Zhou Runfa did it unintentionally or specifically targeted Zhang Ziyi?"
It's okay to accidentally break the news.
It's just a paparazzi's carnival.
But if it was specifically targeted, could it be at the instruction of someone?
Yang Mi's expression also became serious:
"It must be a coincidence. Didn't Zhou Runfa never get along with Zhang Ziyi before? He had teased her for taking the title a long time ago."
Qin Muchu didn't speak.
The incident where Zhou Runfa mocked Zhang Ziyi for "picking up the title" happened in 01, which was also the Academy Awards ceremony.
The reason was that Anita Mui asked, "Brother Fa, what do you think of mainland female stars?", and then Zhou Runfa replied meaningfully, "Be obedient and willing to do anything. Accept the title."
But the "picking up the grapes" incident is different from this "temptation gate".
First of all, the photos of "picking up the grapes" were exposed by the paparazzi, and they were ridiculed by existing memes.
But this time, it was breaking the news that others didn't know. It was already a bit of a bad rule to talk about things within the circle.
If it was Chen Daomin who said this, then Qin Muchu had no doubt that he wanted to rectify the bad atmosphere in the circle.
But Zhou Runfa...
"If that concubine really chased and beat Zhang Ziyi, would she also do the same to us..."
Before Yang Mi finished speaking, Qin Muchu shook his head:
"She doesn't have that much energy, and it's impossible for the rightful owner to interfere in this matter. Zhang Ziyi had no background in China before, and she had too many flaws, which led to her current situation. If it were Sister Gong Li, who would care about her?
Not to mention us. "
After all, she was just a concubine, and the real master was a romantic master himself. He probably had so many concubines that he could not even count them.
This aunt is special. Mother is more valuable than son.
But it’s also “expensive” in a limited way.
The main palace is still there.
As for being righted through “children”…
impossible.
In such a big family, both husband and wife are not simple roles. How can it be possible for an ordinary person to sit in the main palace position just by virtue of his children.
For the sake of the child, it would be nice to take care of him.
But after all, it is not a glorious thing. If the aunt is ignorant and makes too much fun, the first person to deal with her will be the backer she relies on.
……
The car stopped in front of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Yang Mi, Nazha and Reba got out of the car, but Qin Muchu was not with them.
I stayed up all night last night. It's not appropriate to do this again today.
While waiting for the elevator, Nazha and Reba, who had been silent all the way, started chatting with Yang Mi.
The topic mainly focused on Zhou Runfa and Zhang Ziyi.
"Fortunate" to be a witness to a public controversy, this made the two girls feel that they were also insiders for the first time.
"Don't think that Zhou Runfa is just calm and upright. He is not a good person either. He has been exposed in the past when he took advantage of actresses."
Yang Mi said suddenly.
"what?"
Both girls were surprised.
Fa Ge, whom Zhang Ziyi rejected, could he be the one taking advantage of the actress?
This character is very contradictory.
Moreover, Zhou Runfa is so highly respected and an idol for generations.
“I’m not sure what the real story behind this matter is, but it’s true that Zhou Runfa took advantage of the actress while filming.
So when you enter the circle in the future, if you had any idols before, it’s best to forget them.
Many people are not like that in front of the camera at all, and their character is worrying. If you have the mentality of a fan, you will be very disappointed when you see them in the future. There are very few actors who can be the same on the outside and have both virtue and art. "
Yang Mi made a concluding speech.
Although Nazha and Reba were shocked, they still nodded and digested it silently, reshaping their views on the entertainment industry.
"Mimi, what a coincidence, you also live here." At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind, and the three women turned around together.
"Brother Ming."
Yang Mi smiled and found that he was alone and asked again:
"Where's the baby? Not with you?"
Huang Daming introduced Yang Ying at the Academy Awards, and her beautiful appearance left an impression on her.
Yes, you can enter the harem.
"Baby went up first to guard against paparazzi."
Huang Daming explained, then looked at Reba and Nazha who were standing next to Yang Mi:
"These are my two junior sisters, Teacher Cui has mentioned them to me many times, and I finally met them today. They are the school beauties."
"Hello, Brother Daming."
Reba and Nazha responded quickly.
"Don't be nervous. Leave your contact information later. We are from the same school. If you need anything in the future, just contact me."
Huang Daming said enthusiastically.
However, Nazha and Reba did not reply immediately, but looked at Yang Mi.
The two had just accepted Yang Mi's theory that "many celebrities are not what they appear to be", so they remained wary of the enthusiastic Huang Daming.
Yang Mi noticed the gazes of the two girls and felt very pleased.
This shows that the two women listened to what she said before.
But this is not necessary for Huang Daming.
So he said:
"Nazha, Reba, Brother Daming is not an outsider. You are from the same school. Brother Daming will join our company soon. Don't worry about trouble him. If he dares to go back on his words and not help, you can file a complaint with Teacher Cui."
Huang Daming wants to join the company?
Nazha and Reba were stunned for a moment, they didn't know this.
But with Yang Mi's words, they also knew that Huang Daming should be the kind of person who looks the same on the inside.
He also lowered his guard and responded with a slight bow:
"Thank you, Brother Daming."
"It's okay. I'm afraid you will file a complaint against Teacher Cui."
Huang Daming waved his hand and joked.
The elevator happened to come at this time, and several people walked in.
After the elevator door closed, Yang Mi continued Huang Daming's words and suddenly said something meaningful:
"Brother Daming, you are afraid of filing a lawsuit, but some people don't care at all."
Huang Daming's expression froze.
He knew that Yang Mi was talking about Zhao Yanzi.
Her revelation put Huayi, herself, and Qin Muchu into a very passive situation.
He wanted to cover up a few words for his "Bai Yueguang", but now he didn't know what the situation was.
Agent Huang Bing promised to reply to him in half an hour, but several hours passed and there was no call.
I had no choice but to pretend not to hear and change the topic with a haha.
"Mimi, Teacher Cui asked me if I had time during the summer. He said that my junior brother had an idea. Do you know what it is?"
……
The doorbell rang, and when the baby came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, he found Huang Daming already sitting on the bed.
He leaned over from behind and spoke coquettishly:
"When will we be able to act openly and not hide from reporters?"
one second.
two seconds.
no respond.
Baby raised his eyebrows and looked at Huang Daming.
Only then did I realize that he was frowning in thought.
He immediately hummed and turned his head:
"Forget it, if you don't announce it, you won't announce it. I will be an underground lover for the rest of my life."
Only then did Huang Daming come back to his senses when he heard the noise and looked at the angry baby, a little confused.
"What, I just got distracted..."
"Are you distracted on purpose?"
Huang Daming was a little dumbfounded. He put his arm around the baby's shoulders and turned her around:
"Why are you deliberately distracted? I just met Mimi in the elevator and was thinking about something..."
As he was talking, suddenly the phone rang.
Huang Daming took out his phone and took a look. When he saw the caller ID, his eyes lit up.
I was about to connect, but thinking of the baby beside me, I hesitated.
"You answer it, I'll go to the next room to avoid suspicion. I have something to think about tonight, and I'll think about it all night. You can sleep here."
Baby stood up and was about to walk out of the room.
Huang Daming couldn't tell that his girlfriend was angry, so he quickly held the baby's hand.
"What are you trying to avoid, Huang Bing called."
"You said bad things about me again to make you break up with me?"
Baby stabbed, she knew that Huang Daming's agent never liked her very much.
"No way, the matter about Yanzi that I asked before should have come to fruition."
Huang Daming took the baby and sat down.
"If you want to listen together, can I put it on speakerphone?"
The baby didn't say anything, but he didn't say anything about leaving either.
Huang Daming smiled helplessly, answered the phone, and pressed the speakerphone again.
"What are you doing? It took you so long to answer the phone. Is it related to that..."
"Cough cough."
Huang Daming quickly interrupted:
"You're still saying that I only called now and it took half an hour?"
As if he had guessed something, Huang Bing did not continue what he had said before, and his tone became serious:
"You really can't blame me for this. If I just check what you said, it's very simple. There was a party last night, and Zhao Yanzi told everyone that you wanted to sign [Yiren] in front of everyone."
"Is there a secret?"
Huang Daming heard that this matter was not simple.
"Well, you haven't thought about this and you didn't tell Zhao Yanzi. Where did she know about it? It couldn't have been the boss who told her, right?"
Don't say it.
Huang Daming really thought about it.
Because it had been a day since Zhao Yanzi told him about his departure from Huayi, Huayi's bosses had not called him.
It stands to reason that if he told Zhao Yanzi about this, he would definitely suspect that he was the one who told Zhao Yanzi and asked him to hold him accountable.
But it didn't.
This made him suspect that it was the big and small kings who told Zhao Yanzi. It was their fault, so naturally they would not hold him accountable.
But now it's obvious that Huang Bing doesn't mean that.
"This matter involves the relationship between you and Hua Yi, so we can't cause anything bad to happen before leaving.
So I went to find Mr. Wang specifically, which wasted time.
This matter is not that simple, as you know about the Splashing Ink Sect, Zhang Ziyi and that Aunt Zhao made the city full of trouble..."
Half an hour later, Huang Daming finally figured out the whole story.
He frowned and sighed in silence for a long time.
Brothers and sisters from the same sect, even if the business doesn't work out, the worst they can do is never interact with each other until death.
But if you do this, if your junior brother knows about it in the future, you will become enemies.
"Da Ming, we also have to consider affiliated with [Yiren]."
Huang Bing's voice came from the phone, bringing Huang Daming back to his senses.
He said puzzledly:
"Consider? Something went wrong with the contract negotiation?"
"That's not true. It went very smoothly. Their contract is very loose and there are basically no restrictions. However, the tax requirements are quite strict and they have to send someone to review the studio's accounts every year."
Huang Daming breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's nothing. It's okay to check it out. And since they have shares in our studio in the future, they should check it out."
Huang Bing said "Yeah", but that wasn't what he wanted to say.
He paused for a few seconds and then said:
"Da Ming, what I mean is that Qin Muchu has offended the concubine now, should we still rely on him?"
Aunt?
Yang Ying blinked.
This word seems to have only been heard in Republican dramas.
Rich families will marry several wives.
But now, shouldn’t we talk about lovers and mistresses?
What kind of family can be so particular?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard my boyfriend’s firm voice:
"You don't have to think about whether you should sign the contract or not. Lao Huang, believe me, my junior brother's background is not small. A concubine can't touch him. We will talk about this in detail later when we meet."
After a few minutes, the phone hung up.
Seeing Huang Daming still frowning, the baby leaned against him and asked curiously:
"What aunt?"
"Oh, it's just..."
Huang Daming explained it, but he was a little absent-minded.
After learning the identity of his aunt, the baby's eyes widened.
Thinking of the title "aunt" again, I suddenly felt that it was extremely appropriate.
While longing arose in my heart, worry and fear arose at the same time.
Can Qin Muchu's background really be greater than others?
Her boyfriend wanted her to sign a contract with [Yiren] before, but now...
Just as she was thinking about how to tactfully tell her boyfriend that she could slow down her contract signing with [Yiren], Huang Daming spoke over there:
"Baby, I'm going to make a phone call. It's about work. You need to rest first."
This time, the baby didn't say anything about "avoiding suspicion". She also wanted to think about "tactful words" alone.
So he nodded obediently:
"Oh, then you should come back early."
Huang Daming originally wanted to explain it hard, but the baby was so reasonable and kissed her on the cheek:
"Don't fall asleep. I'll be back in a moment."
"Humph."
The baby rolled her eyes shyly.
Huang Daming smiled evilly and left the room. He flipped through the address book and found the number with the note "Swallow". His smile gradually faded and turned into a sad look.
When gods fight, why should we mortals get involved?
Do you think that the god you are standing on is sure to win and can protect yourself?
But do you know which god is standing behind them?
Huang Daming remembered the leader who came to inspect when filming the MV for "Welcome to Yanjing". Because Qin Muchu was busy day and night during that time, the leader forced him to take him to eat and rest.
Is this relationship normal?
At that time, everyone called the leader Director Li, but if we meet again now, it is no longer appropriate to call him "Director"...
