Chapter Seventy-Four: There Is Hope
It is about 20 kilometers from the airport to the city, and it takes less than half an hour to drive. Entering the city, He Xin looked at the shops and residential areas facing the street outside the car window, which seemed to be no different from other small cities in China, and he didn't see the antique houses and small bridges and flowing water houses that he saw on the Internet before.
With this doubt, he asked the driver.
Speaking Mandarin with a local accent, the driver pointed to the east side of the city and said with a smile: "That's the ancient city you're talking about, and it's over there! However, from this year onwards, you will have to charge tickets to enter the ancient city, oh, and it is not a ticket, it is called the ancient city maintenance fee, which costs eighty-one!"
The local dialect of Yun Province has a strong Sichuan accent, which is a bit similar to the Northeast. The three provinces in Northeast China are all big ballast flavors, and as long as they enter the customs, they are all Northeast villagers.
The three southwestern provinces use Sichuan dialect as the official dialect of the southwest, and they all have the flavor of Trump when they speak Mandarin, and they are all southwestern villagers when they go out.
He Xin simply chatted with the driver in Sichuan dialect, and Sister Ma next to him was stunned.
LJ is not a big city, so I turned into the compound of a hotel while talking. When he got out of the car, He Xin was still a little worried, and specially asked Sister Ma if she could bring the dog in here.
Sister Ma said domineeringly: "It's just a small broken hotel, what can't you bring, walk." ”
It is said that the conditions of the hotel where the crew stayed are really not very good, and it is estimated that it is not even a star rating. Think about it, after all, the filming period is so long, and the crew has a budget.
Ding Xiaohei and they haven't come back yet, although the crew arranged a standard room for him, but he lives alone, but he is also comfortable. I put the skewers out of the cage, fed some water and dog food, took a hot shower myself, changed my clothes, and then took the dog son out to greet Lafayette.
Teacher Zhao Minfen, who played the queen mother in "Huanzhu Gege 2,3", and later played Chen Handong's mother in "Lan Yu", this time in "Jade Guanyin", Sun Li's mother-in-law, and the mother of her husband Tie Jun.
Pushing open the old lady's room, I found that the other two actors who stayed at the hotel were gathered at the old lady's side to chatter.
"Old lady, please give you a greeting!"
"Yo, Xiaohe, why do you still have a dog?"
"It's not at home and no one takes care of it, so I can only take it with me. Come, skewers, call grandma!"
The two have worked together in "Lan Yu", and the old lady is very approachable and gets along very happily, so she speaks casually and affectionately.
Hearing the master's instructions, he really shouted at the old lady twice, "Wang!"
"Yo, that's good! Come on, give grandma a hug!"
The old lady has been here for a few days, and it is not easy to come out to film at such an age, especially these days when she is bored in the hotel, and she is very happy to see an obedient puppy.
Then He Xin made time to greet the other two in the room.
"Teacher Du!"
"Senior Brother Fang!"
These two are not the first time they have met, they have all met in Haiyu Company before.
Du Yuan is in his forties, but his waist and face are old, and he looks like a person in his early fifties. In the play, he plays the serious and iron-clad Captain Pan of the anti-drug brigade.
However, when He Xin sees him, he will always think of the various funny fathers he played in many TV series in later generations.
House soldier, graduated from Chinese opera level 95, a Mandarin drama actor, played Sun Li's husband Tie Jun in the play, and finally died at the hands of Mao Jie he played.
After both of them greeted He Xin warmly, they sat down to accompany the old lady to continue chatting.
He Xin joined, so the topic of chatter is naturally inseparable from the news that the hottest "Lan Yu" was shortlisted for ten nominations for the Golden Horse Awards.
The old lady stroked the dog and said to He Xin with a smile: "Xiaohe, is there any hope of winning the award this time?"
"I have no hope. ”
He Xin shook his head and said, "Don't you know that Brother Jun is much better than me." Besides, isn't there Andy Lau and Zheng Yijian, a king, a popular star!"
"I don't think so. ”
The house soldier on the side suddenly came out and said: "Although I haven't watched "Lan Yu" with you and Brother Jun, I have watched Andy Lau's "Thin Men and Women" and Zheng Yijian's "Hey, Hero" ......."
When He Xin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How are they acting?"
Neither of these two movies has been released in the mainland, and the house soldier said that he had seen it, so he naturally watched pirated discs. In fact, most of the pirated discs sold everywhere outside these years have been seen by He Xin, so he has no interest, so far he doesn't even have a DVD player at home, now looking back and thinking about it, I really want to buy one, I usually look at the disc, revisit the classics of the past, and study the acting skills of other people are also good.
The house soldier smiled at him and said: "Zheng Yijian's acting is actually quite average, with his facial paralysis acting skills, I guess there will definitely be little hope." ”
Speaking of this, his face still showed disdain, and then he muttered: "As for Liu Tianwang, he played a fat man very cute before, but when he became thinner, he returned to the routine of Liu Tianwang that we are familiar with." Of course, the more important thing is that they are all commercial films, and the Golden Horse Awards have always been very uninterested in commercial films, so I think you still have a great chance of being with Brother Jun. ”
He Xin's heart was itchy to hear his words, but he was still modest on the surface and said: "There is a big chance of being a military brother." ”
At this time, the old lady suddenly interjected: "Although Xiaohu acted well, Xiaohe, you didn't act badly." I look at that, you play very seriously, you have the same chance!"
Saying that, the old lady couldn't help but regret it: "It's a pity that I haven't seen the finished film yet." ”
"Old lady, don't worry, I told the director, when we meet in Wanwan, ask him to bring me a few DVDs, and I'll send you one at that time, I haven't seen it yet, and I want to watch it." He Xin said with a smile.
"Hey, I saw news on the Internet two days ago that "Lan Yu" should be released in Hong Kong today. ”
The house soldier's words made He Xin stunned, and recalled carefully that the last time Guan Jinpeng called, it seemed that "Lan Yu" would be released on November 22.
Hey, isn't it the 22nd today!
On November 22, "Lan Yu" was finally released in Hong Kong.
Although it had already premiered in Cannes before, this is an official release.
Before the release, it needs to be submitted to the Hong Kong Electrical Inspection Department for review and grading. The classification system of the Hong Kong Electricity Inspectorate is similar to that of film censorship in other Asian countries.
There are three levels.
Level 1: Suitable for viewing of any age.
Level 2: Not suitable for children.
The second level is divided into two grades, A grade: not suitable for children, and B grade: not suitable for adolescents and children.
Level 3: Only 18 years of age or older are allowed to view.
The third level is commonly known as the third level & film, which includes erotic & erotic films and violent films. When it spread to the mainland, it became synonymous with erotic and erotic films, and of course, there are more exciting *****, which are crowned with the title of top films.
"Lan Yu" is naturally classified as Level 3, and is only allowed to be watched by people aged 18 or above, and if some of the exposed scenes are deleted, it can barely be given a Level 2.
But Guan Jinpeng believes that this kind of picture is completely to promote the development of the plot and create an atmosphere, and it must not be deleted.
Although it caused a sensation in the early stage because of the Golden Horse Awards, after all, it is a marginal theme, and the rating is the third level, and there are not many screens that are released and opened, which attracts the audience is only people who are keen on this way and literary and artistic young people with strange brains, of course, there are also people in the film industry and film critics.
So naturally, the box office would not be high, and it was hurriedly released after two weeks. But the failure of the box office is not the same as the failure of the movie, as various film reviews from film critics have been reported one after another, Hong Kong people suddenly found that there seems to be no suspense in the battle for the best actor in this year's Golden Horse.
Zheng Yijian's shortlisting is purely accidental, and the attributes of the commercial film "Thin Man and Woman" and Liu Tianwang's own performance limitations, compared with the two mainland actors in "Lan Yu", there is really no chance to win the award.
Of course, these are all afterwords!
