Chapter 200: You're not thrilled at all
The trip to Xiangjiang was very smooth.
invited the bigwigs of the Xiangjiang film industry to serve as the action director, as well as to play Yan Chixia.
Yuan Hong's box office appeal today may not be as good as when Xiangjiang movies were glorious, but he is very well-known among fans.
Nowadays, most of the main groups who go to the cinema to watch movies grew up watching Yuanhong movies.
His box office appeal is still very high.
Not to mention anything else, whether it is an action director or playing a supporting role, his name will be prominently displayed on the movie poster.
Of course, Zhang Pu invited him, not because of how famous he is, but because among the many action directors, he is good at many styles, and he also has a lot of experience in gods and demons films.
The coordination of action and special effects is not something that any action director can do.
Yuan Hong and his action team are definitely the top in terms of action design in the circle.
The Hong Kong film industry is no longer what it used to be, but it is full of talents. Especially in terms of action design, there are really few people in the mainland who can compare with it.
Those top film and television companies have their own action design teams, but almost all of the main members are from the Xiangjiang Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts.
And among these people, many of them are probably in Yuanhong's team.
The Xiangjiang Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Association was founded by Yuan Hong, and he was also the first president of the association.
Zhang Chu takes the road of action star, so he must have his own action team.
Zhang Pu didn't think about digging Yuanhong's wall, but he could still learn something from his team.
Yuan Hongqi has never cherished himself, if you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach.
Of course, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy.
"I thought you kid forgot what you promised me!"
Zhang Pu met Jiang Yun as soon as he returned to the company.
"Teacher, the first cut of "Farewell My Concubine" has not been completed yet, and the soundtrack is not in a hurry. Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "You don't know how to cut it, let me get on it!"
"As long as you know how to cut, I won't?" Jiang Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Your company's cutters are still at a good level." Orange Entertainment didn't even dig him?"
"I dug it, but the price I gave was not enough, I guess there was my reason!" Zhang Pu said.
Zhang Pu himself can cut, and even won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Cutting nomination with "Crazy Stone", maybe Orange Entertainment feels that digging up the cutter of Oriental DreamWorks has little impact on Zhang Pu, and the price is not high.
Of course, it's a little higher than what Oriental DreamWorks gave before.
People didn't go!
Maybe there is a meaning that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
He is the boss in Oriental DreamWorks, but when he goes to Orange Entertainment, he can only be a little brother.
Of course, he didn't leave, and Xu Jiadong gave him a salary increase when he turned around.
It's a little higher than that of Orange Entertainment.
Those who stay in the company are treated better.
"By the way, did "Nobody" apply for this year's Golden Dragon Award?" Jiang Yun didn't continue the topic, and then asked.
Directors who cut their own are not uncommon in the circle.
It's just that there doesn't seem to be a Golden Dragon Award like Zhang Pu, and that is Zhang Pu's first movie.
This also made Zhang Pu's fame in cutting overshadow the shears of Oriental DreamWorks.
In the eyes of Orange Entertainment, the importance of the cutter of Oriental DreamWorks is not so great.
"Hmm!" Zhang Pu nodded.
There are not so many entry restrictions for the Golden Dragon Award.
Like the Cannes Film Festival, if your film is released, it is not eligible.
However, some film festivals require films after they have been released in order to participate in the selection.
The Golden Dragon Award can be released before and after the release.
As long as it is within the stipulated time frame.
"I don't want to compete with 'Farewell My Concubine' next year. Zhang Pu continued.
In Zhang Pu's view, there are definitely a lot of nominations for the Golden Dragon Award, and the chance of winning the award is very high.
"What about your new film? Aren't you planning to start filming in April or May? Don't you have the confidence to win at next year's Golden Dragon Awards?" Jiang Yun pouted and said.
Zhang Pu was stunned.
Is there a possibility that "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be shortlisted?
Yes!
And it's huge.
The original film has been nominated for several Academy Awards. Zhang Pu didn't think that he would shoot poorly under the situation of the original reference.
Perhaps, the Golden Dragon Award is more difficult, but Zhang Pu doesn't believe that there is no nomination.
If that's the case, it's a failure.
"I don't want my two films to compete at the Golden Dragon Awards!" Zhang Pu smiled and said.
"You're confident. Jiang Yun said, "Aren't you afraid that "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" and "The Nameless" will face off?"
""Loyal Dog Rhubarb" shouldn't have a chance to be shortlisted, right?" Zhang Pu said.
Have you signed up for "Loyal Dog Rhubarb"?
Of course.
Films with a good reputation will definitely have a better chance of being nominated, so they will naturally sign up.
The two films, which have been signed up one after another, also have a bit of a wide net.
Of course, the reason why "Nobody" signed up before it was released is a bit to avoid "Farewell My Concubine", but there are also reasons for not having confidence in "Loyal Dog Rhubarb".
This year's Golden Dragon Awards, Zhang Pu doesn't want to play soy sauce.
Don't think about the actor awards of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", the protagonist is Rhubarb, and the characters don't have much room to play at all.
Cutting, photography, costumes and props, I guess there is no drama.
The soundtrack, movie songs, and no drama.
Screenwriter, unlikely.
"Not necessarily!" Jiang Yun said with a smile.
"Teacher, do you have any inside information?" Zhang Pu asked with a smile.
He suddenly remembered that his teacher seemed to be a member of the Golden Dragon Award jury!
"Wait a while, and you'll know. Jiang Yun said.
He knew that it was impossible to reveal it to Zhang Pu.
The word "not necessarily" just now already hinted at it.
Zhang Pu didn't ask any more.
As a teacher, I am still very principled.
His word "not necessarily" made Zhang Pu look forward to it.
If "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is shortlisted, I am afraid that the best picture is very likely.
Best Director?
No matter what nomination, as long as there is one, doesn't it mean that both of your films are nominated?
Zhang Pu thought about it, but smiled dumbly.
What if you are shortlisted?
In the case of the original version, how many achievements have been awarded? Not to mention that it is only a nomination.
Zhang Pu quickly put this matter behind, the soundtrack of "Farewell My Concubine" was not in a hurry, and the film began to be cut.
The actors of the three main characters of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen, and Yan Chixia have been confirmed, and Xiahou Swordsman will also be played by Zhang Chu, while the other actors have not yet been decided.
Among them, the villain role of the tree demon still needs to be considered.
As for the other characters, they don't need to bother so much.
"Are the actors of "A Chinese Ghost Story" decided?" Wang Bo looked at Zhang Pu and said, "If it's convenient, can you leave a role for Xue Hui?"
"You kid!"
Zhang Pu pointed at Wang Bo, and didn't know what to say for a while.
He assured that this guy and Xue Hui were not boyfriend and girlfriend, but the two must have a leg.
"Is it inconvenient?" said Wang Bo with a smile.
"Xiaoqing, give her the role!" Zhang Pu sighed.
Xue Hui plays Xiaoqing, and she is still fully competent. There is no need to dilute the relationship between the two for such a small matter.
Zhang Pu didn't have many friends.
I am afraid that Wang Bo is the only one who has a heart-to-heart relationship.
When you were down, people took the trouble to help you. You're developed, you can't even be reluctant to give face to a supporting role, right?
"Then thank you. Wang Bo said, "I know you're interesting enough." ”
"You can't have a good relationship, do you have to make all this mess?" Zhang Pu couldn't help but persuade.
"How can a good boy hang himself on a tree?" Wang Bo said, "Don't you say everything, children make choices, I am an adult, I can't give up the whole forest and choose a tree!"
"What's more, what's the difference between me and Xue Hui and falling in love now?" Wang Bo continued.
"Falling in love and getting married requires loyalty, you two, at most, ......***!" Zhang Pu couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"Is it rare for people in love, splitting legs, stepping on two boats, or even several boats? After getting married, cheating on them, raising three or four children, is it rare?" Wang Bo pouted and said, "Compared to those people, buddies are much more noble." You love me, you are free!"
When Zhang Pu heard this, he was a little speechless.
He really didn't know how to refute it.
Wang Bo seems to be really better than those who split their legs and cheated.
"Forget it, you single dog, little virgin, you don't understand. Wang Bo shook his head and said with a look of disdain.
"You're such a scumbag. Zhang Pu couldn't help but say.
He wondered how he had become friends with the bastard.
"You're no better. Wang Bo pouted and said, "You just have a lustful heart and no lustful guts!"
When Zhang Pu heard this, he was about to refute.
"It's gone, it doesn't affect you. Wang Bo said and fled.
It's not called, it's not called.
Zhang Pu had to swallow back the words that had reached his throat, and finally shook his head.
Am I a scumbag?
I'm a scumbag, and all men in this world are!
But why does Wang Bo always swear that he is a scumbag?
Zhang Pu shook his head, too lazy to think about it.
The actor of the Dryad Grandma was quickly determined.
Zheng Hang, an actor who studied dance.
Zhang Pu has seen some of the roles he has played, and there are also anti-string roles.
The reason why he was chosen is nothing more than because some of his characters are bewitching and evil...... It is very in line with the character of the character of the dryad grandmother.
Zheng Hang is just an actor outside the third line, although his acting skills are good, he is not famous, how could he refuse Zhang Pu's invitation.
What's more, it's not an audition, but it's decided directly.
Time is lost in the hustle and bustle.
The impact of new films, "The Nameless" dropped the top of the single-day box office list, and "Family Fun" released during the Spring Festival has already been drawn, and the film schedule of "Black Panther" and "The Thief Doesn't Go Empty" has also been greatly reduced.
In mid-February, the shortlist of the Golden Phoenix Award, the most authoritative comprehensive TV art award, was announced.
"Bright Sword" won several awards such as Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenwriter, and Best TV Series Song.
Moreover, the demand for these awards is extremely high.
This award may not be as influential as the Golden Dragon Award, and it does not include Hong Kong and Taiwan.
However, the influence in the TV circle is still huge.
This can be seen from the announcement of the shortlist, and Gao Wang is in a state of excitement.
Zhang Pu is very indifferent, which is in stark contrast to Gao Wang.
"You're not excited at all?" Xu Jiadong looked at Zhang Pu and said, "Not excited at all?"
"Why get excited, there's nothing to be excited about. Zhang Pu smiled indifferently and said.
He really didn't pretend, but he really didn't feel anything.
"Damn!"
Xu Jiadong couldn't help but scold.
When the shortlist was announced, he couldn't help but be excited, but it wasn't as exaggerated as Gao Wang.
But he didn't expect Zhang Pu, the client, to react.
Big brother, that's the company's first TV series.
The first TV series has achieved such results, you are the majority shareholder of the company, shouldn't you be excited?
What's more, you yourself have been shortlisted for Best Screenplay and Best TV Drama Song!
Your reaction makes us feel as if we don't know anything.
This guy won't treat us like dirt buns, will he?
Well, I'm not!
I hope that guy is.
It's also, it's just a nomination, why are you so excited, at first glance, it's a weak chicken that hasn't been shortlisted.
"I'm not in the TV circle!"
Zhang Pu saw that Xu Jiadong looked at him strangely, and immediately explained.
"Really?"
Xu Jiadong pursed his lips, he vaguely felt that the reason why Zhang Pu didn't react was definitely not this reason.
Perhaps, he doesn't pay much attention to the Golden Phoenix Award.
Can the Golden Dragon Award......
Yes, Golden Dragon Award! I'll take a look, the Golden Dragon Award shortlist is announced, what is your reaction.
Well, wait!
Thinking of this, Xu Jiadong suddenly found a problem.
Oriental DreamWorks shined at the Golden Phoenix Awards with "Bright Sword", and the same would be true for the Golden Dragon Awards.
I'm going to get over it!
I'm afraid those big film and television companies can't do it, right?
In this way, my Oriental DreamWorks seems to be very good!
After Lao Tzu......
It's no wonder that those female stars are much more enthusiastic about themselves than ever.
Ahem!
This has nothing to do with the company, it is completely my Xu Jiadong's personal charm.
"What do you think?"
Zhang Pu saw Xu Jiadong's expression strange there, sometimes surprised, sometimes evil, and sometimes annoyed.
"I'm wondering when your teacher will be announced in the Oriental DreamWorks?" Xu Jiadong said, "Do you want to have a ceremony or something?" ”
"My teacher wasn't that particular. Zhang Pu said, "Forget it, I'd better ask my teacher's opinion!"
Zhang Pu didn't plan to use this matter to promote it.
This matter has not spread yet, but there should be many people in the circle who know about it.
Many old people in Huaying went to Oriental DreamWorks, and this matter had a big impact in the circle.
Orange Entertainment hollowed out Oriental DreamWorks with its front foot, and if this happened to the back foot, you can guess it.
It is impossible for Oriental DreamWorks to dig into the foot of Huaying's wall, and it does not have the guts.
But those people are not the top in the industry, they are also first-class, where are they not popular, why do they run Oriental DreamWorks?
High price?
Some people can solve it if they offer a high price, I am afraid they will leave Huaying a long time ago.
Nine times out of ten, those people went to the Oriental DreamWorks with Jiang Yun.
I have to say that Oriental DreamWorks has picked up a treasure.
