Chapter 325: Golden Sailing Award (1)
Zhou Linlang mentioned the nomination for Best Supporting Actress on Jinlong Street last time. That was the closest she was to the trophy, but unfortunately, the time was not good. Obviously, she acted better, but the judges let themselves be wronged because of the other party's grievances for many years.
As long as she thought of this, Zhou Linlang wanted to cry aggrievedly.
"Something to say, I'm going to go out soon. You don't have much credibility with me, don't waste any more time. Zhou Linlang said, "By the way, remind you again." I'm on vacation right now, so I don't have to talk about things at work. Today, for the sake of you coming all the way, you can finish your words. After a while when I go out, my work phone will simply turn off. Don't call me unless the sky falls. A work phone doesn't work, and neither does a personal phone!"
Zhou Min rolled his eyes inwardly.
"Got it, little ancestor, you've said this a hundred times, I remember, absolutely, definitely, promise not to disturb your two-person world!"
"Hmph, I hope you do what you say. Zhou Linlang nodded, "Say, what good news." Let's talk about it first, don't sell dog meat on a sheep's head, I don't accept sugar-coated shells. ”
"I swear, it's really good news. ”
"Oh, really?"
"This time I said good news. Zhou Min swore an oath, "Do you remember the literary film you made the year before last?"
"The year before last? You mean "Red"?"
"Red" is a film about the life of an embroidery girl, from a young girl to a drooping old man, red has embroidered a wedding dress for a lifetime, but none of them belong to her. The source of this play is a poem by Qin Taoyu, "I hate to press the gold thread every year and make wedding clothes for others". For this reason, Zhou Linlang also went to learn embroidery, and also embroidered a handkerchief for Ning Yuan, which is also decent.
This is the first time that the director has tried to shoot a literary film with ancient characters as the protagonists, rather than an art film, which is a special attempt. In order to make this movie well, the entire crew has made efforts. In the end, everyone was quite satisfied, and felt that the efforts and desires of the embroidered girl were completely discharged, which was not simply pitiful, but no matter how bitter it was, it would be like the grass that could not be pressed, and strive to grow upward.
At the end of the filming, the director went crazy. He edited three versions by himself, except for him, everyone said it was good, but he couldn't watch any of them. If you change to another crew, the investor can still press the director. But because no one invested in this crew, the director himself smashed the pot and sold iron to become an investor, he was the boss of the crew, he said no, everyone could not do it.
Zhou Linlang thought it was going to be reshot at first, but the director didn't mean that. He asked Zhou Linlang to make up some shots, and then disbanded the crew and directly pressed the movie to the bottom of the box. Zhou Linlang was dumbfounded, although her salary was not less, but her efforts in the past few months were gone, and she was depressed when she thought about it.
Zhou Linlang originally thought that the director would always press "Red" to the bottom of the box, and she would never hear this movie that made her depressed again. Unexpectedly, after almost two years, Zhou Linlang heard this name from Zhou Min's mouth again.
"Yes, it's Red. ”
"It, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, "Red" has been shortlisted for the Golden Sailing Award!"
"What! How is this possible, didn't Director Mo say that this movie was not good?"
Zhou Linlang "sat up in shock in his dying illness", stared at Zhou Min in disbelief, and seriously suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.
"What you said, Mo Fan is a famous director, what he said badly is just that he is not satisfied with his lack of breakthrough, I don't know how many times better than the works of other directors. Moreover, at that time, Mo Fan was just dissatisfied with the finished product after editing, and felt that he did not achieve the feeling he wanted. Zhou Min Zhenzhen analyzed eloquently, "Everyone thought it was good at the time, and now it has been refined by Mo Fan, it must be even better." Otherwise, how can you be shortlisted for the Golden Sailing Award. Mo Fan is not the kind of second-rate director who is not of good level, and the awards he is shortlisted for are generally won, but there is no saying that he will accompany him. So, hehe, congratulations in advance, Linlang, your film is about to win an award, or an international award. ”
Zhou Linlang had a smile on his face, but he said the opposite thing in his mouth: "Don't be too iron-toothed, it's just that you have been shortlisted and haven't won the award yet, who knows if there will be an accident." ”
"There will definitely be no accidents," Zhou Min said proudly, "I just don't know how many trophies I will win now." ”
"How many?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention that "Red" was shortlisted for five awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Costume. So, you're already a reserve for the queen of the Golden Sailing Awards!"
"Ahh
This next week Linlang is really surprised. She never thought that "Red" would be shortlisted for so many awards, especially Best Actress. She always thought that at most it was the best film or the best director, after all, at the Golden Sailing Awards, "Red" is an authentic Huaguo characteristic film, and some foreign judges can't understand what this movie is about. Unexpectedly, she was shortlisted for an international award.
Zhou Linlang couldn't help but fantasize about the moment when he stood on the international stage to receive the award - Zhou Linlang knew that his chances of winning the award were very small, but people always had dreams - under the spotlight, all eyes were on it, like in a dream.
"Is your news confirmed?" Zhou Linlang asked uncertainly.
"Huh?" Zhou Min was stunned for a moment, and said categorically, "Of course! This is official news, which will be announced soon, and the national media will know about it by then." Although it is not the first time that my country's film has been shortlisted for the Golden Sailing Award, the last time it was shortlisted was three years ago, and it was returned empty-handed. This time, "Red" was shortlisted, and it was still five awards, and the media must have gone crazy to report on it. Linlang, we really turned over, see who dares to laugh at you for not having a grand prize. ”
The corners of Zhou Linlang's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.
"I haven't even skimmed this matter, maybe I'm the one who accompanies me. ”
Zhou Min originally wanted to say, "It's okay to run with you", but thinking of Zhou Linlang's regret that she always wanted to win the award but never got it, he changed his words and said: "How can it be a running accompaniment, you acted so well in the movie, and the extremely picky Mo Fan has praised you many times, you can't win the award, who can still win the award." Don't think about it, you go to the contact and lend you the most beautiful shirt, which will definitely amaze you that day. ”
"Buy a new one. ”
"There's no need for that, big-name clothes are expensive. ”
"It's the first time I've been shortlisted for an international award, and I've got a piece of clothing. ”
Zhou Min thought about it, it is difficult to go on the international stage, and it is always not very difficult to borrow clothes.
"Let's ask the designer to make it to order. Zhou Min suddenly had an inspiration, "Find a designer who is good at spending time." "Red" tells the story of the embroidered girl, and the robe should also echo the theme, so that those foreigners can see what the real beauty of the flower is. ”
"This ......"
"By this, this, this...... That and that...... You can rest for three days, and I'll take care of the rest. Wo will definitely make you amaze the world!" After speaking, Zhou Min didn't wait for Zhou Linlang to refuse, and left with his mobile phone. If you don't leave, Ning Yuan will call after a while, he is a "vicious mother-in-law" who disturbs other people's feelings, and he will definitely not survive two episodes.
Zhou Linlang: "......"
Just when Zhou Linlang and Ning Yuan were enjoying the rare world of two, and when Zhou Minman was looking for the best Huaguofeng designers in the world, the shortlisted films for the Golden Sailing Award were announced, and "Red" was on the list.
After three years, Huaguo Film was once again shortlisted for the Golden Sailing Award, the genre is still ancient costumes, or literary films, and it is still an embroidered girl theme that no one has paid attention to. The media were the first to notice the news, and they were surprised and excited at the same time, and they were also curious, eager for the crew of "Red" to appear immediately, let them get to the bottom of the matter, and grab the headlines of the whole network.
But this crew has long been disbanded, and this movie has long been completed, and the crew members have gone their separate ways, I don't know how many new works have been made, they didn't expect this movie to see the light of day again. With Mo Fan's attitude at that time, everyone in the crew thought that this movie would become Mo Fan's private collection and would never be known to the audience. Although it is a pity for everyone, there are countless movies and TV series in the country every year, and their movies are not the first and not the last. Everyone is about to forget about this movie, and it has appeared in everyone's eyes with a special attitude.
It can be said that whether "Red" was pressed to the bottom of the box, or suddenly shortlisted for the Golden Sailing Award, these were all decisions made by Mo Fan alone, and no one in the crew knew before. I have to say that whether it is in the crew or outside the crew, Mo Fan is an out-and-out dictator. However, after being shortlisted, Mo Fan notified the important personnel of the crew as soon as possible. One is to invite them to walk the red carpet on the day of the awards ceremony. The second is to unify the voice with everyone and refuse to visit before the awards ceremony, so as not to affect the reputation of the movie.
With Mo Fan's orders, of course, the silence of the important personnel of the crew is golden, so as not to let media reporters have a chance to break the defense. And some others who are willing to talk about the movie "Red" are just small roles in the crew, and media reporters report that they can't attract the attention of netizens at all, but are just garbage articles that are indiscriminate.
The more the crew of "Red" refuses to accept visits, the more curious netizens are about it, and the more the media want to dig deeper things. Under the watchful eye, the Golden Sailing Award Ceremony was held.
The Golden Sailing Awards have a long history and world-renowned credibility, with judges from all over the world and films from all over the world. The Golden Sailing Awards do not have a foreign language film award, and its founding team said that the Golden Sailing Award is an award for all filmmakers, and no one is a "foreigner".
Because there are so many entries received, and there are so many excellent works, the jury is always in love with them, and there are often one to three winners in each award, but never more than three. Of course, if there is no good work, some awards will also be vacant. But even so, it still does not affect the status of the Golden Sailing Award in the hearts of filmmakers. After all, this is the only platform that competes with the world's filmmakers.
