Chapter 221: The status is a joke

Liu Yifei is sticking with Yang Hao, which makes Liu Xiaoli very unhappy.

But fortunately, her daughter is in good spirits now, with a smile on her face all the time. She is completely different from the depressed look she had some time ago. This makes Liu Xiaoli feel a lot more at ease.

After the crew finished work, Liu Xiaoli followed Liu Yifei back to the crew hotel.

"Mom, I've booked a new room for you next door. You should go back to your room quickly." It was already past nine o'clock, and Liu Yifei urged her mother to leave quickly.

Yang Hao obviously didn't want to marry Liu Yifei. No matter how much his daughter tried to give him money, it was bound to be fruitless. This would not work. Liu Xiaoli planned to sleep with her daughter tonight and then have a good talk with her, but she never expected that her daughter would urge her to leave.

It was so late at night and she was so anxious to urge me to leave. Her intention was very obvious. She must want to fool around with Yang Hao.

She just couldn't understand what was so good about Yang Hao?
Isn't he just a little bit more handsome? Isn't he a little bit more talented? Isn't he a little bit richer?

not just...

amount……

This condition seems to be very attractive to girls. If I were younger, I would probably fall in love with him.

Another week passed, Liu Yifei's weight gradually decreased, and the crew started filming the female lead's scenes again, and everything was back on track.

"Fei Fei, have you really lost weight?" While hugging Liu Yifei, Yang Hao expressed his doubts about her weight loss.

"Why do I feel that your butt is still so big?" She didn't feel that way when she was wearing loose costumes, but at night when she was not wearing clothes, Yang Hao could clearly feel that her butt was comparable to that of the fat fairy in later generations.

"Hmph, it's all your fault that your butt is so big." Upon hearing such teasing, Liu Yifei snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at Yang Hao.

"Haha", Yang Hao laughed out loud when he saw Liu Yifei's reaction.

Although I am the one who does the physical work every night, the other person is also doing squats quite a lot of the time. By doing hundreds of squats every night, my butt gets exercised, so it becomes perky and plump, doesn't it?

The reason why the fat immortals in later generations have such a big butt is probably due to their rich nightlife every night.

"Fei Fei, come here and weigh yourself again."

"Honey, I don't want to move. Come and hug me," Liu Yifei said, opening her arms as if asking for a hug.

Seeing Liu Yifei like this, Yang Hao couldn't help but smile. He had tormented her for several times in a row, which really exhausted her. Yang Hao could understand her, so he just reached out and picked her up by the waist.

Stand on the electronic scale and look down at the display on the scale.

"121.5KG"

Minus Yang Hao's weight of 69 kg, Liu Yifei now weighs 105 catties.

She is still 3 kilograms fatter than before. Looking at Liu Yifei's plump butt, Yang Hao estimates that the kilograms of fat should have grown to her hips.
-
A few days later, Yang Hao, from the crew of Go Away Tumor, found Han Yan and asked for leave.

"Director Han, the Hundred Flowers Awards will be held in two days. I am nominated this time, so I have to leave the crew for a day." Although Yang Hao is the investor of the crew, Han Yan is the director after all, so he should be given due face and the proper procedures for asking for leave must be followed.

"This is serious business, but is one day's vacation enough? If not, how about two days?" Han Yan said enthusiastically for Yang Hao.

"Enough, enough, one day is enough," Yang Hao said, waving his hand.

Although "Knife of the Assassin 1" was nominated for Best Actor this time, Yang Hao was not optimistic about winning the award. The 22-year-old Hundred Flowers Award winner has never appeared in the history of Chinese cinema, and Yang Hao's qualifications are far behind.

The Hundred Flowers Awards are held every two years, and this year's is only the 32nd. That means that since the establishment of this award, there have been more than 30 best actor winners. You can imagine how difficult it is to win this award.

"Yang Hao, when will I get a film award?" Liu Yifei was next to Yang Hao and Han Yan. She heard clearly that Yang Hao asked for leave to attend the Hundred Flowers Awards. She was very envious of Yang Hao for being nominated for the Hundred Flowers Best Actor award at such a young age, and her tone was full of sourness.

Hearing Liu Yifei's words that showed she didn't have a clear understanding of herself, Yang Hao glanced at her.

According to the memory of the previous life, Liu Yifei, Da Mimi, Liu Shishi, and Tangtang, the four great Tang Dynasty poets, had not been nominated for any awards at any well-known film festivals until 2024.

Not only did the movies they starred in fail to win any awards, they also never had a big hit at the box office. They either barely broke even their investment or were total flops.

However, these 85 flowers are very awesome in the field of TV dramas. Each of them has won the Best Actress award. Their national popularity is indeed ridiculously high. In the era of traffic, each of them is considered a top star.

"What did you mean by that look just now? Do you think my acting is terrible and I can't win any movie awards?" Liu Yifei saw clearly the look Yang Hao gave her, which greatly hurt her self-esteem.

"No, the look in your eyes tells me that you are so beautiful." After saying this, he silently added in his heart that he also had a beautiful thought.

"Hmph, you're smart," Liu Yifei raised her little fist to protest against Yang Hao.

"If you act well in the movie 'Go Away Tumor', you might win an award."

"Really?" Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes lit up instantly when she heard Yang Hao's words.

Yang Hao's words were not meant to comfort her. In his previous life, "Go Away Tumor King" had won numerous awards, especially in the awards for best actress, including the Huabiao Best Actress Award and the Peking University Shenzhen Film Festival Best Actress Award.

"Go Away Tumor Man" is a movie with a strong female lead, and the image of the female lead is highlighted very much. It is easy to stand out if the performance is good.

However, the female lead Xiong Dun was played by Bai Baihe in the previous life, and now it has been replaced by Liu Yifei. The acting skills of these two people can be said to be a world apart. It is really hard to say whether Liu Yifei can win the award.

Although Yang Hao is a reborn person, he is not omnipotent, which is verified in the movie "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle".

In the previous life of this movie, the heroine was played by Tang Wei, who was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, but now it’s Da Mimi who has taken over, but she didn’t even get a nomination.
-
As time goes by, the biennial Hundred Flowers Awards is held as scheduled. This time, the Hundred Flowers Awards will be held at the Lanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center and will be broadcast live on the film channel.

This was also Yang Hao's first time attending such a heavyweight film award. He arrived at the venue early and, under the arrangement of the staff, went to the rest area, waiting for the red carpet ceremony to begin.

This kind of heavyweight film awards ceremony is definitely attended by many big names, and is totally not on the same level as the National Drama Festival that I attended last year.

Well-known celebrities such as Zhang Ziyi, Brother Long, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Jiahui, Brother Long, Sun Honglei, Xu Zheng, King of Sunglasses, etc. can be seen everywhere.

Yang Hao walked the red carpet with the crew of "The Blade of the Assassin 1".

Da Mimi was more extravagant, walking the red carpet twice.

Both "The Blade of the Assassin 1" and "Bridget Jones in Seattle" were nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards, and both movies starred Da Mimi. So although Da Mimi was not nominated for any awards, there was nothing wrong with her walking the red carpet twice with the crew. Da Mimi also knew that she would be ridiculed again for not winning any awards at the Hundred Flowers Film Festival, but she didn't care.

She is not afraid of negative news at all, she is satisfied to get this wave of traffic.

Would Black Red Honey be afraid of scandals?
"Yang Hao, do you think you have a chance to win the prize?" Da Mimi asked softly as she sat next to Yang Hao.

"Probably not," Yang Hao answered the question after a slight hesitation.

"Then who do you think will win the Best Actor award?" Da Mimi looked at Yang Hao with cunning eyes. People in the circle said that Yang Hao had a good eye for investing in film and television works. She wanted to see if Yang Hao had the same good eye for actors.

"Who will win the Best Actor award?" Hearing Da Mimi's question, Yang Hao frowned and thought carefully.

The nominees for Best Actor at this Hundred Flowers Film Festival include Long Ge for "Chinese Zodiac", Zhang Jiahui for "Drug War", Huang Xiaoming for "Chinese Partners", Xu Guangtou for "Lost in Thailand" and Yang Hao for "Knife of the Assassin".

If I remember correctly, the final winner was Brother Xiao Ming's "Chinese Partners".

"It should be Huang Xiaoming," Yang Hao said to Da Mimi confidently.

And just at this moment, Zhang Ziyi, who was standing on the stage, was opening the envelope and announcing the winner of the Best Actor award.

At this time, the director also turned his camera to Xiang Longge, Zhang Jiahui, Huang Xiaoming, Xu Guangtou and Yang Hao.

Facing the camera, Yang Hao smiled generously, waved, and greeted the audience in front of the camera.

"The winner of the Best Actor Award at the 32nd Hundred Flowers Awards is..." Zhang Ziyi stretched out her words and paused at the end, leaving the audience in suspense.

Then he said: "Huang Xiaoming, who played Cheng Dongqing in Chinese Partners."

When Huang Xiaoming heard that he had won the award, he immediately stood up happily and walked quickly towards the podium.

"Hey, Yang Hao, you didn't win the prize, how come you don't look disappointed at all?" Da Mimi had been keeping an eye on Yang Hao, and when she saw that his expression didn't change at all, she asked curiously.

If it were her, she would be extremely sad to miss the opportunity to win the award.

"Disappointed? What's there to be disappointed about? Acting is not my main job," Yang Hao said nonchalantly.

Awards? How many people really care about awards?
They all care about the industry attention, fame, and acting offers that the awards can bring.

The interests behind the awards are what they care about most.

Yang Hao's main base is actually investing in movies. Doesn't this make money faster than winning awards?

My original intention of becoming an actor was actually just to increase communication with female stars and enjoy the cheers under the spotlight.

What I want to be is a star, not an actor.

Hearing Yang Hao say "Being an actor is not my main job", Da Mimi suddenly realized that Yang Hao's main job is a film and television investor, and he is one of those people who creates resources. This kind of award is indeed dispensable.

The Best Actress award was then announced, and the winner was Zhang Ziyi, who played the female lead Gong Er in "The Grandmaster".

Zhang Ziyi has been on a smooth sailing since her debut as a "Mou Girl". She has won numerous awards and is one of the most famous actresses in the film industry.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi's brilliance on the stage, Da Mimi felt jealous and very envious. She also wanted to become a people's artist like Zhang Ziyi.

"Don't be envious. Instead of envying others, you can earn more money and become your own boss and capital in the future."
"You should be able to sense that your pay has increased very quickly since this year," Yang Hao said, patting Da Mimi's arm when he saw her envious expression.

Hearing Yang Hao say that he could also become a capital in the future, Da Mimi sneered and didn't quite believe it. She actually only made tens of millions a year now. At this rate of making money, she would not make as much as Yang Hao in one movie in ten years.

However, Yang Hao said that the pay has increased dramatically this year, and Da Mimi can indeed feel it. Last year her pay was actually only around 30 yuan, but this year it has increased to 50 yuan, an increase of almost 50%. By filming a feature-length TV series, she can earn almost half of her salary. This pay increase is indeed outrageous.

"Believe it or not, in a few years, you can earn more than 100 million yuan for a TV series, which is much more than what movie stars make," Yang Hao said confidently.

"More than 100 million?" When Da Mimi heard what Yang Hao said, golden light flashed in her eyes.

"Really?" Da Mimi asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. By that time, movie stars won't make as much money as TV stars." Yang Hao's firm words gave Da Mimi peace of mind. Da Mimi had witnessed Yang Hao's rise in the past two years. Da Mimi believed in Yang Hao's words very much, and her mood became much better because of it.

"However, in terms of status in the circle, TV stars are still better than movie stars. Mimi, do you want to make more money or have a higher status?" After asking this, Yang Hao stared at Mimi, wanting to see what she would choose.

More money? Higher status?

Hearing Yang Hao mention these two options, Da Mimi said without hesitation: "Of course, to make more money."

"Mimi, you are really rational," Yang Hao gave Mimi a thumbs up and praised her.

Da Mimi is truly clear-headed and knows that money is the most real thing, while status is all fake and is promoted by people in the circle.

Save money and lose status, both money and status are saved. Save status and lose money, both money and status are lost. This sentence is absolutely the truth in the entertainment industry.

Many movie stars have turned to acting in TV dramas in order to make money.

How many senior people with both virtue and talent have gone live to sell goods in order to make money.

How many big directors, in order to make money, shot some nonsensical blockbusters in their later years, which eventually suffered a collapse in reputation.

In "Shangyang Fu", 41-year-old Zhang Ziyi plays a 15-year-old girl. Zhang Jizhong and his young wife, who is more than 4500 years younger than him, live broadcast goods. Maotai, which has a market price of 4799 yuan, was sold by Pan Zi for yuan.

In the entertainment industry, status can only be regarded as a joke. The most important thing is still interests and money.

Yang Hao is very clear that the most important reason why he has a high status in the entertainment industry is that his movies can make money. Once he stops making money, all these so-called status will instantly turn to ashes.
