Chapter Sixty-Eight: Sycophant, Golden Horse

It is said that it has been popular to change his name in recent years, and Cheng Hao's original roommate Tao Rong has now changed his name to Tao Feifei.

In fact, not only actors love to change their names, but even those who do behind the scenes are also popular to change their names, such as Brother Niu Le, who is sitting next to him now, his original name was Yan Xusheng, and his parents gave him a magnificent name, the rising sun is rising, I don't know what he thinks, I have to change it to a very funny Niu Le.

and Yu Baimei, a science and engineering man I just met a few days ago, was actually changed later.

The last time He Xin was on the phone with Cheng Hao, he talked about Tao Rong's name change, and he joked with Cheng Hao that if Cheng Hao didn't change his stage name, he would be called Cheng Woman, which was special, easy to remember, and had a RB flavor.

"Director, Xiaohe, you don't exclude me like this. Duan Yihong hurriedly waved his hand.

After graduation, he has acted in many dramas and few film and television dramas, and this time he played Wang Xiaoshuai's new movie "Second Brother" for the first time and the only starring role, which made him very flattered, after all, Wang Xiaoshuai's previous film had just won the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival.

At this time, Duan Yihong was still very shy, he didn't talk much, but the amount of alcohol was good, he drank as he said, and most of the time he was listening to the three of them bragging.

At this time, Niu Le was dancing and talking about his anecdotes about his work in the crew of "Looking for a Gun" this spring.

"Looking for a Gun" is a big drama jointly launched by China Film Group and Huayi this year, starring Jiang Wen, and directed by a newcomer named Lu Kuan who has just graduated from Nortel's directing department.

Speaking of this, Niu Le was a little indignant, but there was no way, who let the family have a good father!

It is said that this one is called Lu Chuan, and at the beginning, he was arrogant, like a big director. In fact, he was very tender, he didn't shoot a few scenes, his so-called plot line, storyboard script, and even camera settings were overturned by Jiang Wen.

This Lu Dao also wanted to fight with Jiang Wen, but Jiang Wen was scolded back after a few words, and the other staff on the scene didn't help him say a word at all. So much so that later, the crew was completely controlled by Jiang Wen, and the originally ambitious little Lu Director was completely reduced to an ornament.

Niu Le gloated when talking about this, as the director Wang Xiaoshuai was more sympathetic to Director Xiaolu's experience, threatening that if it was him, he would have stopped doing it in this situation, and at the same time expressed his admiration for Director Xiaolu's young age, but he had the skills of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Although Niu Le didn't dare to choke with the director in person, he said to He Xin in private: "What kind of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, he is reluctant to be famous! Jiang Wen is now in the period of banning directing, and no one can snatch away the director's signature." In the future, if the movie is successful, people will only say that it is the work of Lu Kushi. Don't look at his painful look on the crew, maybe he is still secretly having fun in his heart!"

Well, our brother Niu is purely unable to eat grapes and says that grapes are sour.

However, after listening to this anecdote, Duan Yihong said thoughtfully: "If the plot is unreasonable or the actor feels uncomfortable when acting, I think the actor can ask questions." ”

"Yo, then when you were filming me, why didn't you see any movement?" Wang Xiaoshuai was stunned when he heard this, put down his chopsticks and looked at him.

As a result, Duan Yihong also said with a serious face: "Because I don't think there is anything unreasonable about your script, and I acted smoothly all the way." ”

Ooh!

He Xin was stunned for a moment when he looked at it from the side, what is the highest level of sycophancy, this is it! This kind of thing is said seriously, and the effect is too different from that of a hippie smile.

Sure enough, Wang Xiaoshuai laughed proudly, then looked at Duan Yihong, who was still serious, and then looked at He Xin, and pointed at them with his index finger and said, "I think you two will be difficult masters in the future." ”

said, especially to He Xin: "Especially you kid, when you filmed the first play, you dared to change my words without authorization!"

In this way, on the basis of Lao Duan's ass on the back, Wang Xiaoshuai stubbornly raised himself to a higher level, and at the same time emphasized his broad-mindedness.

Niu Le's eyes were rolling on the side, this thing is actually quite conceited, after experiencing it to the crew of "Looking for a Gun", I feel that my ability is no worse than Lu Chuan, but I don't have a chance, this time Wang Xiaoshuai asked him to serve as the executive director of "Second Brother", which is equivalent to mentioning him again, and he is only one step away from the final director's goal.

Seeing that everyone was praising the director, of course he was unwilling, and decided to change the angle to make a sycophant. So the guy asked with a smile: "Director, the Golden Horse Award nominations are about to be announced, how many nominations do you think we can get?"

Since "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" returned from Berlin, Wang Xiaoshuai has been very proud for almost a year. Hearing Niu Le take the initiative to ask, Director Wang pretended to mutter, and said, "I estimate that there should be no problem with the three nominations." ”

"Which three?"

"The best picture definitely didn't run, and Xiaohe's best newcomer. ”

Wang Xiaoshuai first said the two most certain, both of which were awarded in Berlin, and it is impossible not to nominate them for the Golden Horse Awards.

"Then there is one more item that must be the best director!" Niu Le finally seized the opportunity and hurriedly said.

"Not necessarily. ”

Wang Xiaoshuai waved his hand with a smile, looking very modest, and then said: "I estimate that Liu Jie has a good chance to mention the best photography this time." ”

Liu Jie is Wang Xiaoshuai's royal photographer, and since Wang Xiaoshuai's debut, he has served as the director of photography for almost all his works, including the just-finished "Second Brother", and even served as an executive producer.

Originally, He Xin invited him today, but this guy was in a hurry to go home and didn't come.

"Director, you are too modest! In my opinion, you can get at least four nominations, Best Director, that's a must!" Niu Le patted his thigh with a disapproving expression.

Sometimes sycophants don't necessarily need to be openly praised, and questioning is more effective.

Sure enough, Wang Xiaoshuai looked dark in his heart, and said with a modest smile on the surface: "This is not necessarily, there are many good films signed up this time, and there are many famous directors, such as Director Chen Guo, Director Zhang Zhiliang, Director To Qifeng, and Zhou Xingchi, especially ......"

He may have been a little embarrassed, and turned the topic to He Xin and said: "Especially the last time Xiao He performed "Lan Yu", although I haven't seen it, it is said that the quality is quite good, and it is the favorite of this year's Golden Horse Awards. ”

Wang Xiaoshuai didn't say the best picture, because in his opinion, it doesn't matter whether the best director can win it, the most important thing is the best picture award, which is the heaviest among all the awards. Fortunately, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" won the second prize of the jury at the Berlin Film Festival, and he is determined to win the Golden Horse Award this time.

Saying that, he paused for a moment, smiled at He Xin and said, "Xiao He, you can not only nominate the best newcomer this time, maybe you can also nominate the actor!"

"Director, don't be kidding, I didn't dare to think about the nomination of the actor. He Xin shook his head hurriedly.

As the best newcomer in Berlin, he would not be surprised if he was nominated for the best newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards, or even won the award. But only this actor, he really didn't dare to think about it. The films registered for this year's Golden Horse Awards include not only Zhou Xingchi's "Shaolin Football", Andy Lau's "Thin Men and Women", but also several Wanwan local films, and there are only four nominations in total. Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, if "Lan Yu" can also be shortlisted for the Best Actor selection, he believes that it will not be him, because in his opinion, Hu Jun's performance is much better than him.
