For this reason, Director Liang and Director Li almost got into a fight. âKillerâ and â30 Days of Madnessâ were both competitors. Both directors wanted to apply for Yu Yaoyao as the best actress, and also wanted to win the Best Feature Film Award⦠They could not convince each other. Of course, Li Bo also knew that the judges generally didnât like hilarious films with a strong commercial atmosphere, but he also thought that this film was the perfect embodiment of Yu Yaoyaoâs acting skills.
âLiang, Yaoyao is playing two roles in my film. Donât fight with me for the best actress. Iâll give you the best feature film award. How about it? I wonât declare it.â
Li Bo felt that he was being reasonable. But when Director Liang heard it, his face almost turned red.
âOld Li, you are so kind!â he replied sarcastically.
How could he give it to him⦠Li Bo was not even a judge! If Li Bo didnât declare it, did it mean he would definitely win the award!? Wasnât this a trick to deceive children? Shameless!
âHow about this, Old Li? Iâll give you the award for Best Picture. Xiao Yuâs role in âKillerâ has shown a transformation of her mindset, and she showcased a deep interpretation of the character, and the film has educational significance for society. I think this is what only the best actress can do.â
Director Liang was even more shameless. âOh, if you donât think just winning the Best Picture is enough, then Iâll give you the Best Educational Film Award too?â
Li Bo almost vomited blood when he heard it. What he had was a commercial film, why would he apply for an Educational Film Award!? This Xiao Liang was so shameless!
The two snorted at each other and hung up on the phone. They both turned to Yu Yaoyao. But Yu Yaoyao felt that both were not bad. Seeing that the two directors couldnât agree with each other, she simply handed the decision to Shen Yichong, since the topic was supposed to be a headache for the agency.
ââCrazyâ has not been released yet. Although it can be declared, but âKillerâ is definitely more secure.â Shen Yichong was extremely rational and made a decision directly.
âDo you think Director Li will cry?â Yu Yaoyao pursed her lips as she took a bite of a potato chip.
ââ¦In the Q&A session with reporters, you can help promote Director Liâs film,â he replied.
Shen Yichong thought about it and found a way to kill two birds with one stone. Shameless, but effective.
When Li Bo heard it, he agreed immediately. If he had a way to disgust Director Liang, he would already feel very good. But for Yu Yaoyao to win the award, âKillerâ was more secure. After thinking about it, he also became rational.
âXiao Yu, the next time I make a patriotic film, I will invite you to be my heroine.â
The dispute between the two directors finally came to an end.
In August, when it was near the press conference of the Golden Rooster Awards, â30 Days of Madnessâ, directed by Li Bo, was also successfully released. The box office hit 150 million at the premiere. Douban comments were overwhelmed by comments such as âI laughed till my Coke spilledâ, âxswlâ, âcomedy seriesââ¦
Yu Yaoyaoâs first attempt at a humorous role was very successful. Even in several interactions between the male and female protagonists, the sweetness she created with Lu Cheng was quite layered.
[Although the kiss scene is shot in a certain direction to make it real, Yaoyaoâs gaze is so sweet!]
[Lu Cheng feels like heâs going to fall in love with Yaoyao, but Iâm sorry, Yaoyao is mine!]
[Yaoyao is domineering and mighty. Is she even more manly than Lu Cheng??]
[Did Yaoyao learn this standing posture from Mr. Shen! Itâs just⦠Iâm dead! LOL!]
Whether it was the fansâ perception or the follow-up analysis of the film critics, the comments were optimistic. Almost all gave four or five-star praises.
âThe script is filled with hilarious laughter due to the soul-exchange between the male and female protagonists. Although itâs old-fashioned, it still managed to be interesting.â
âYu Yaoyaoâs acting skills have risen to a new level, and she did not disappoint the fans.â
âLu Chengâs performance is also good. He portrays the softness of a woman, and the cuteness of a big man, without being too girly. â
âA person with two personalities was convincingly acted. â
The behind-the-scenes footage was also posted on the Internet. Whether it was the military-like slogan and training in the morning, or Yaoyaoâs terrifying whipping session⦠all of it made the audience go bald with laughter, and they almost couldnât get up from their seats in the theatre. Some even got cramps while laughing at home!
Before the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, fans already felt that their Yaoyao was the uncrowned king. She just did so well no matter what role she played.
On Weibo, everyone quickly saw a post by a long-lost artist.
[Chen Jiao V: Iâve watched â30 Days of Madnessâ. Both the male and female protagonists have excellent acting skills, which also inspired me. Next, I should also go back to the starting point and start working hard again.]
Soon, Chen Jiaoâs studio announced that Chen Jiao would pursue a Masterâs degree in performance. Fans of Chen Jiao were very excited as they finally saw their idol come back on Weibo. They all commented âBrother Jiao, we are waiting for you to come backâ.
Meanwhile, YY fans were all sighing, saying comments like: âGangster Chen has finally grown upâ, âListen to Baby Bunâs words and study hard. Thatâs rightââ¦
There were endless hot topics on the Internet, until finally, the day of the Golden Rooster Award ceremony arrived.
