Chapter 344: Talking about the Golden Rooster
Card, over. ”
The second shot is a little more complicated, and it took three shots in a row to pass.
Hearing the director shouting, Lu Xiao on the side hurriedly took a down jacket to help He Xin put it on, and said, "Brother Xin, Mr. Yu from Bona called just now, so you must call back when you are free." ”
"When did you call?" He Xin was a little surprised, it was almost midnight now.
"About half an hour ago. ”
"Oh!"
It was estimated that Yu Dong was very anxious, he nodded, took the mobile phone and checked the answered phone, and sure enough, Yu Dong's call came at more than eleven twenty o'clock.
He then dialed back.
The phone rang twice, and it was connected.
"Xiaohe, I'm really sorry to disturb you filming. ”
"It's okay, Brother Dong, what do you say? ”
"Xiaohe, it's a bit embarrassing to say this, I just want to ask, when will you arrive in Yinchuan?"
"The plane on the nineteenth will arrive at noon in the morning. ”
"Oh, forget it, I'm sorry to bother you, Xiaohe!"
"It's okay......"
Although the cooperation between the two sides in "Wulin Gaiden" was not successful, Yu Dong was still good, and now everyone is still cooperating on "Green Meadow", He Xin hesitated and asked more.
"Brother Dong, what do you say? ”
"Uh......"
Yu Dong paused slightly on the other end of the phone, and then let out a long sigh before saying what he was embarrassed about.
It turned out that the 24th Golden Rooster Awards, after merging with the Hundred Flowers Award a few years ago, also known as the 13th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, opened in Yinchuan on September 16, that is, tomorrow evening.
At the end of August, the list of nominees was announced, and although Bona's active operation of "Beauty Grass" did not even get a nomination at the previous Huabiao Awards, it still won three nominations including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Recording at the Golden Rooster Awards.
Although with the downturn of the mainland film market in recent years, the Golden Rooster Award has gradually declined, and has even been bombarded by many people for all kinds of opacity, unprofessional judges, double yolk eggs, and even black-box operations, etc., but in the end, it is one of the three golds in Chinese, and he is still very happy to be nominated for Best Actor.
But this time it was really unfortunate that he was filming "Seven Swords", and he really couldn't squeeze out the time to participate in the whole process, so he could only fly over on the day of the closing ceremony and award ceremony, and then fly back early the next morning to continue filming.
As for Yu Dong's embarrassment, Bona, as the mainland distributor, originally planned to promote the upcoming "New Police Story" at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.
But it's really unfortunate, and it's also because the Golden Rooster Awards this year is riddled with all kinds of negative news, and its influence is declining, which leads to many big-name stars being reluctant to attend.
For example, Uncle Long, the absolute protagonist of "New Police Story" this time, is filming his new film "Myth" in India at this time, and he can't get out. And another big name in the film, Xie Qiwang, was also filmed in Beijing, and Wang Jing's "Little Fish and Flowers" was also unavailable. Wu Yanzu couldn't come over from Canada, so Yang Caini was here to shoot "Seven Swords" with He Xin, and there would be only one Cai Yanyan left, and the weight was not enough!
Yu Dong had no choice but to catch strong men all over the world, hoping to help him build momentum at that time, which didn't think of He Xin, after all, he was one of the only two nominees for the actor.
It's just that He Xin's side is also nervous about filming, so he can only rush over on the day of the closing ceremony.
So after listening to Yu Dong's troubles, He Xin could only apologize: "I'm sorry, Brother Dong, I really can't go over here in advance." ”
"It's okay! it's okay!" Yu Dong said on the phone.
As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "If I knew this, I might as well not do this event." ”
Speaking of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, it is really embarrassing, the organizers hyped it before, and even the national teachers, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ziyi, Jiang Wen and other mainland big-name stars in the nomination list have missed their appointments.
may also be because the timing of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is really unfortunate, which happens to conflict with the Venice International Film Festival in Europe and the Toronto Film Festival in North America.
For example, the national teacher and Zhang Ziyi took "Ambush on All Sides" to promote it at the Toronto Film Festival, and they couldn't get out at all, while Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan were shouting and selling his new work "No Thieves in the World" in Venice, and they didn't have time to take care of the domestic golden rooster.
Jiang Wen was even more awesome, and the invitation fax sent by the organizer in the past did not even hear back.
As soon as He Xin put down his mobile phone, he heard the assistant director Ah Liang shouting over there: "Ah Xin, it's time to start filming!"
"Okay, here we are. ”
He had to sigh secretly, took off the down jacket he had just warmed up and handed it to Lu Xiao along with his mobile phone, and ran back to the shooting site upside down.
Then I listened to Xu Laowei, who was sitting behind the monitor, and said: "Ah Xin, I found that the angle of the first shot just now was a little off, and we need to do it again." ”
"Uh, OK! But Director, I need a few minutes to adjust. ”
“OK!”
......
"Look, it's He Xin!"
He Xin was carrying a backpack and had just come out of the gate of the airport, and he didn't know who shouted. In an instant, a large group of reporters swarmed up and surrounded him.
"Click, click......"
The flashing lights of the camera kept on, and Rao was still wearing sunglasses, or he was still being shaken a little dazzlingly.
At the same time, one microphone after another was handed to his mouth, and the reporters asked one after another:
"He Xin, who do you think is more actor-like, you or Liu Wei?"
"What do you think of Zhong Chengxiang, director of the Golden Rooster Award jury, about the low style of "Mobile Phone"?"
"He Xin, do you have the confidence to win the award?"
"He Xin......"
There were too many questions, and he really couldn't answer them one by one, so he had to nod his apologies to the reporters under the cover of Lu Xiao, and slowly moved out.
Fortunately, he was tall, and he saw Sister Hong, who came to pick up the airport at a glance, but was crowded in the crowd by reporters, and was worried.
He hurriedly shouted: "Sister Hong!"
Chang Jihong hurriedly gestured to him, signaling him to deal with the reporter a little, and then quickly withdraw.
He had to squeeze out while casually answering the most questions asked by reporters.
"It's satisfying for me to be nominated, you know, it's my first time I've been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, hmm...... This is the greatest Ken for my work. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, you see I just got off the plane. ”
"It's hard to say, but there are only two people nominated, so I have at least 50% hope. ”
"Yes, Mr. Liu Wei is my predecessor and a performing artist, I grew up watching his plays, and I especially like his role as Tang Minghuang!"
"Yes, I have watched "Jasmine Blossom", Sister Ziyi has played three generations in it, the role is easy to shine, and she is originally very strong...... That's right, I think she has every strength to win the Golden Rooster Award!"
"What? Will she come today? I really don't know about this, I heard that she and Director Zhang are both in Canada, and we haven't been in touch recently......
was about to break out of the encirclement in front of him, and at this time, a sturdy buddy blocked the way with a microphone and asked: "Last night, mainland actor Wang Bochao was beaten by Hong Kong actors Zhang Weijian and Xie Tingfeng when he was in Huairou "Little Fish and Flowers", Wang Bochao was injured and hospitalized, what is your comment on this?"
Hearing this question, He Xin was stunned, and there seemed to be a vague impression in his memory, this incident just happened last night, but then it seemed to be quite a big trouble.
But at this time, he didn't have time to think, so he just apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this matter, and I can't comment on it for the time being." But ......"
He paused slightly, and finally added: "No matter what, it's always wrong to hit someone!"
Hearing him say something, there was obviously a hint of joy in the reporter's eyes, and he reciprocated the favor by letting go, and at the same time, he also used his strong body to help him block the reporters who were about to rush up behind him, so that He Xin could smoothly break out of the encirclement, meet Chang Jihong, who was anxiously waiting outside, and then walk quickly towards the door.
After getting into the car, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
He Xin was a little puzzled: "Why are there so many reporters at the airport today?"
"It's not all kinds of gossip, there were rumors yesterday that the national teacher and Zhang Ziyi were going to charter a plane from Canada to come back from Canada this morning to attend today's award ceremony. Moreover, the organizer also broke out that a mysterious guest who has won the only Hundred Flowers Movie Queen for three consecutive years in the Chinese film industry and has won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers laurel six times will come to the scene to present awards to the winners. In fact, there is no need to say anything about the mysterious guests, except for Liu Xiaoqing, who has won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award six times. In addition, you people said that they all came here today, which is why there are so many reporters guarding the airport. ”
Saying that, Sister Hong also said with a look of annoyance: "Blame me, I didn't expect there to be so many reporters today, otherwise it would have been better to remind you to take the VIP channel earlier." ”
"I said, I see! Actually, I was thinking just now, how could I suddenly be so face-saving?" He Xin wiped the sweat from his head and joked.
Sister Hong also smiled: "If you can win the golden rooster this time, then you will definitely have such a face in the future." If you can win the Academy Awards in the future, then you definitely are this one!"
In the end, Sister Hong also deliberately gave a thumbs up.
It is true that there has never been an actor who has been able to win the so-called Chinese Three Golds in these years. There are two in later generations, Zhang Niangniang and Zhou Gongzi are both actresses with three golds, but the actor has never been there.
He Xin shook his head and said: "If you talk about the golden rooster, I am still confident, even if I can't win the award this time, there will always be a chance in the future." As for the Academy Awards, I don't dare to hope for them. ”
In fact, he has always been resistant to the Academy Awards, in addition to the unpleasant encounter he had when he participated in the Academy Awards for the first time, he was more influenced by later generations.
Although the Academy Awards have always been the fairest award in the Chinese film industry advertised by Hong Kong people, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is just self-entertainment in their small circle of Hong Kong filmmakers, and some people have even publicly threatened that the Academy Awards was originally the Hong Kong Film Awards, and of course the winners should be Hong Kong films.
Okay, that's fine, but please don't call yourself the three golds in Chinese in the future.
Of course, compared with the downfall of the Golden Rooster, the name of the Academy Awards is still very loud. Just as Wen Jun, the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, once threatened when asked about various controversies about the Golden Rooster Awards: The Golden Rooster Awards is a down-and-out chicken! At the same time, he proudly flaunted the Academy Awards as the Oscar of Chinese films.
Although He Xin only came over today, he was still very concerned about some developments on the Internet about this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award two days ago. For example, when Wu Yigong, chairman of the Film Association, responded to various controversies about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, he said loudly: The Huabiao Award is the government award, the Golden Rooster Award is the expert award, and the Hundred Flowers Award is the audience choice award.
It should be said that there is nothing wrong with Chairman Wu's remarks, such as why "Beauty Grass" was not even nominated in the Huabiao Awards, it is very simple, this is a government award, of course, it is impossible to encourage films with special era backgrounds.
It is said that feng shui takes turns, and the economic foundation determines the superstructure. The development of the mainland film market in the next 10 years or so will far exceed almost everyone's imagination, and it will take less than 20 years for the box office to grow from 1 billion to 60 billion.
Originally, the Golden Rooster Award should have become the absolute boss of Chinese films without dispute. It's a pity that the baby is not angry, and the Golden Rooster Award is still full of controversy in the process of growing up, although each session is more and more lively, and the weight of the award is getting heavier and heavier.
The reason for this is nothing more than that the selection criteria are different and the change is too fast.
If the Golden Rooster Award is defined by Chairman Wu as an expert award, since there is nothing wrong with it, it should be insisted on. After all, this is the mainstream of international film awards. All international A-category film festivals, including the Oscars of Lao Mei, are actually expert awards.
It's a pity that the best films of the last two Golden Rooster Awards before He Xin's rebirth were "Operation Mekong" and "The Wandering Earth". And their main competitors are "Sunburn" and "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
How do you say this? Of course, it is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise of the wise.
However, if this logic is followed, then blockbusters like "Star Wars", "Avatar", and even "Vegetarian Chicken" and "Transformers" should all win the Oscar for Best Picture.
