Chapter 42: Good News

On November 8, 2001, the 38th Golden Horse Awards announced the list of shortlisted films, and a total of 73 films signed up for the competition, of which 29 films were successfully shortlisted.

Among the many films, "Lan Yu" became the biggest winner, leading the way with 10 nominations, followed by "Durian Piaopiao" with 7 nominations, and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" with 6 nominations.

Baodao's "What Time Is It Over There" won 5 nominations, and also won 5 nominations, as well as "The Legend of Shushan", which is now being sprayed wildly and becoming a classic in later generations!

Chen Hao's "The Night the Comet Commet" also appeared in the list of nominees, and received 2 nominations.

"Great, "Comet" won two nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing!" Hao Yi said excitedly.

"Okay, Haozi, I didn't say it, awesome!" Ning Hao patted Chen Hao's shoulder and said happily.

Everyone knows that the release of "Comet" was blocked, and now that it can be nominated for the Golden Horse Awards, the hope of being released is much greater.

Although Ning Hao himself was a little regretful that he was not nominated for Best Cinematography, he was still happy for Chen Hao.

"Basic operation! Basic operation!" Chen Hao said lightly.

"Okay, you're so happy!" Hao Yi came over and hugged Chen Hao is swaying, obviously the excitement has not passed.

"This way I can make my own films with confidence. Ning Hao said with a smile.

These days, Ning Hao, Xing Aina and Hao Yi are busy preparing for the crew of "Incense", and Ning Hao's second feature film will start filming soon.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, "Comet" was nominated for two Golden Horse Awards, which made Chen Hao's plan initially successful, if he can win the award, then the possibility of film release will become greater.

Looking at his mobile phone, Chen Hao was a little looking forward to when it would ring.

......

Huaying, Distribution Department!

After Xiao Li reported the recent release plan to Mr. Xu, he hesitated and did not leave.

"Is there something wrong?" Mr. Xu asked with his head up.

"There's something. Xiao Li nodded.

"Say it!" Mr. Xu continued to lower his head to deal with the work.

"Mr. Xu, do you still remember the movie "The Night the Comet Comed" introduced by Director Jiang Wen a week ago?" Xiao Li said.

"Hmm, is there a movie?" Mr. Xu thought for a while when he heard this, "Ao, is it the movie that I can't watch?"

"Well, you didn't finish reading it at the time. Xiao Li thought about it and said euphemistically.

"Hehe, what's wrong with this movie?" said Mr. Xu, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The film received two nominations at this year's Golden Horse Awards. Xiao Li cautiously looked at Mr. Xu's face and said.

"What?" Mr. Xu's face stiffened when he heard this, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I looked at the title, the producer and the director, and I shouldn't be wrong. Xiao Li replied, "This director is still waiting for our call, Mr. Xu, you can see ......."

Mr. Xu stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Li and continued, "Okay, I know, you go out first!"

Xiao Li sighed secretly when he heard this, and turned to leave, leaving Mr. Xu with a slightly frowning brow.

......

On the other side, Yu Dong, who had just hung up the phone, looked a little unpleasant, he had just contacted the producer of "The Legend of Tianmai", but the conversation was not good.

The other party knew Yu Dong's purpose, but the other party only asked, what advantages do you have over Huaying that can make us switch to you? Yu Dong withered a little.

Not to mention now, even in the golden age when the number of screens in the mainland increased dramatically, in terms of distribution ability, Huaying is the undisputed first.

Berner is just a small company that has just successfully released a movie, and the size is too different.

Yu Dong, who was depressed, sighed, and accidentally saw that the list of nominees for the Golden Horse Awards was announced, so he immediately took a closer look.

With the blessing of the Golden Horse Awards, if it is released in the mainland, it will still be able to boost the box office, and Yu Dong wants to see if there are any movies worth exploring.

No, the subject matter of this movie is a little too sensitive.

"Durian Piao" is not good, because the content is not sunny enough, this movie cannot be released in the mainland.

Yu Dong knows that this is a literary film, and it does not mean that the box office of a literary film will not be popular, but obviously this movie is not.

I flipped it down again, and suddenly a somewhat familiar name came into view, "The Night the Comet Comed"?

Why is this name so familiar?

Yu Dong thought about it seriously, and suddenly thought of the handsome junior he met on the day he went to Huaying, especially remembering that he said that his film had signed up for the Golden Horse Awards.

At that time, I just thought that this was another newborn calf who thought highly of himself, but I didn't expect it to be shortlisted.

And the two nominees are Chen Hao, this junior can not only direct, but also write and edit?

Thinking of this, Yu Dong became interested in this "Comet", and quickly rummaged through it, ready to take a look.

Fortunately, the movie backup was in the drawer and was found quickly.

Five minutes later, Yu Dong's office began to flicker and darken.

"What is Mr. Yu doing inside?"

"It looks like I'm watching a movie alone!"

......

Chen Hao was naturally happy to receive two nominations for the Golden Horse Awards, and soon told the crew of "Comet" the news, and everyone was naturally very excited and congratulated Chen Hao.

At noon, Chen Hao asked the whole crew to rub it.

Chen Qian didn't come because he took "Balzac and the Little Tailor", and he was already in the land of abundance at this time.

And Deng Chao joined the crew of Yingda's sitcom "Happy Youth", which was filmed in imitation of the American "Friends", but this drama was banned in China because the president of Time Warner News Group bought out the copyright.

"Director, I wish you success!" Yan Danchen's bright eyes looked at Chen Hao and smiled.

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Hao smiled and drank it all.

"Director, I also wish you every shot. Dong Xuan followed eagerly.

Chen Hao almost burst out laughing when he heard this, knowing that Dong Xuan hoped that he could turn the two nominations into awards, but he didn't know why, he always wanted to be a shot into the soul, no, it was a hair into the soul!

Subsequently, Tang Wei, Zhu Yuchen and Zhou Yiwei also toasted one after another, but fortunately, Chen Hao in this life did not drink badly, he did not refuse to come, and he was quite sober at the end of the meal.

After returning to the studio, Chen Hao stared at the landline phone and his mobile phone intentionally or unintentionally, he was nominated, should there be a ring?

It's just that before waiting for the call, Chen Hao fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Hao was a little depressed, because he hadn't received a call from Huaying or Berner until now.

Fortunately, Hao Yi once again brought good news to Chen Hao.

"Hahaha...... Haozi, "Comet" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 6th Busan International Film Festival!" Hao Yi shouted excitedly.
