Chapter 658: Entering the Golden Rooster
Lin Xiaoguang sent Ma Yili out of the door, and Lin Xiaoguang took out some contract documents from the drawer, ready to study them carefully.
Assistant Xiaolan came to the office and walked over and handed her two copies of the script.
Lin Xiaoguang continued to flip through the documents indifferently.
Xiaolan whispered, "Chairman, can you rest for a while?"
Lin Xiaoguang looked at the document and said casually: "If you have anything, you can say it." ”
"Mr. Liang wants you to read this script, and when you finish reading it, I will give her an answer. ”
Lin Xiaoguang glanced at her, and his tone softened: "Then you wait for me for a while." ”
"Mr. Liang has instructed her, she knows that you are busy, but this script is carefully selected by her, so she hopes you can read it carefully. ”
Lin Xiaoguang sighed: "Okay, I'll watch it now." ”
Subsequently, Lin Xiaoguang flipped through these scripts casually, all of which were TV scripts.
However, among them, the most difficult choice for Lin Xiaoguang is the two dramas "The Pretender" and "Flower Thousand Bone".
The play "The Pretender" is set in the period of the establishment of the Wang puppet regime in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and tells the story of the life-and-death struggle between the Kuomintang, the Communist Party and Japan on the hidden front of Shanghai Tang during the Anti-Japanese War from the perspective of the three sisters and brothers of the Ming family in Shanghai.
And "Flower Thousand Bone" is adapted from the same name of Fresh Guoguo, telling the pure love and sadomasochistic myth about responsibility, growth, and trade-offs between the girl Hua Qiangu and Changliu Shangxian Baizi painting.
In Lin Xiaoguang's view, the two dramas "The Pretender" and "Flower Thousand Bone" are likely to be a big hit, especially "Flower Thousand Bone", which is a phenomenal hit drama.
Just when Lin Xiaoguang was hesitant and didn't know which script to choose, Liang Guoer walked in from outside the door.
"Mr. Liang......"
Xiaolan saw Liang Guo'er and called respectfully.
Liang Guo'er nodded, and said, "Xiaolan, you go down first." ”
"Okay, Mr. Liang. ”
After Xiaolan went out, Liang Guoer walked in front of Lin Xiaoguang.
"How about Xiaoguang, do you like any of these scripts?"
Without waiting for Lin Xiaoguang to answer, Liang Guoer continued: "If you're not interested, I'll push it." ”
Lin Xiaoguang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't be a fruit, I'm having a headache now, you can't have both fish and bear's paws......"
Liang Guoer was puzzled and saw Lin Xiaoguang with a cigarette in his mouth, and the two scripts of "The Pretender" and "Flower Thousand Bone" were placed on the table.
"Xiaoguang, your vision is really poisonous, you just take a look at it, and you have picked these two most brilliant scripts. Liang Guoer said with emotion.
Lin Xiaoguang spat out the smoke ring and smiled: "Guo'er, which script do you think I should choose?"
Liang Guoer sat down and joked with a smile: "One is an idol drama, and the other is a spy war drama." ”
"As for which one you want to choose, it depends on your own inner thoughts, do you want to be a powerful actor who is recognized by others, or do you want to be an idol star who is sought after by thousands of girls?
Hearing Liang Guo'er say this, Lin Xiaoguang stopped talking, and only after smoking a cigarette in his hand did he say quietly: "Then choose "The Pretender"." ”
Liang Guo'er looked at her suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
Lin Xiaoguang extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray before nodding and said, "Well, that's it." ”
After finishing the company's affairs, Lin Xiaoguang signed the contract for the role of "The Pretender" under the urging of Liang Guoer, and he will play the role of agent Ming Lou in the play.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaoguang asked Liang Guoer about the situation after the movie "Dear" applied for the Golden Rooster Awards.
Lin Xiaoguang asked with great interest: "Guo'er, have you received any news recently? My movie has been released for more than a year, do you still have a chance to compete for the Best Director Award this year?"
Liang Guoer said: "Xiaoguang, you have great hopes this time, because your competitors, such as directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kexin, have already won the Golden Rooster once before, and the movie "Dear" you made is still very artistic, different from previous commercial films. ”
Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion: "I hope I can pick up a leak this time and make my dream come true." ”
As we all know, the Golden Horse Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, and Academy Awards, the three most important Chinese film award ceremonies, have always been the most coveted art palaces for Chinese filmmakers.
Lin Xiaoguang is no exception, as a big director of Chinese commercial films, he has never thought of the Oscar, and it doesn't matter if he hasn't been to Cannes or Berlin, but he has never won any award for one of the three golds, for Lin Xiaoguang himself, he still regrets it in his heart.
What's more, it is impossible to win the Academy Awards, it is an exclusive award ceremony for Xiangjiang filmmakers, and it has almost nothing to do with our filmmakers in the mainland entertainment industry, and Lin Xiaoguang himself rarely cooperates with the Xiangjiang crew.
In addition, Lin Xiaoguang previously relied on the movie "Those Years". was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Award for Best Director, but in the end he still failed to win the award, and he didn't even attend the awards ceremony.
The Huaguo Film Golden Rooster Award is a film award that is very professional, has its own unique advantages, and also has serious flaws.
Moreover, the Golden Rooster Awards have been "high and low" for a long time, which has greatly limited its influence in the entertainment industry, but fortunately, in recent years, there has finally been a gratifying change.
First of all, the current selection cycle of the Golden Rooster Award can be said to be very strange compared with the same type of Hong Kong and Taiwan awards such as the Golden Horse Golden Statue.
Such a cycle will inevitably lead to a serious lag in the statute of limitations, and it often happens that when the awards are presented in 13 years, the winners actually win the award with their 11-year works, which is really laughable.
At the same time, it can't have the effect of encouraging new filmmakers at all, because when it is its turn to be selected, it has already been selected by the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards for one or even two rounds.
Secondly, the Golden Rooster Awards has an unwritten default convention, the actor never has two awards, except for Pan Hong, Gong Li, and Song Chunli, the three predecessors with outstanding acting skills in the early years, who won 3, 2, and 2 awards respectively, and never two awards after that.
This rule probably originated from the era of planned economy, everyone should carry forward the spirit of collectivism, and no matter how good a person's acting skills are, they will not be allowed to eat alone.
Therefore, actors who have won awards before, no matter how good their acting skills are in their new works, will almost certainly not win awards again.
A typical example, the 13-year Golden Rooster Award, Zhang Ziyi's "The Grandmaster" Gong Er, as a masterpiece at the level of one in ten years, swept the four awards of Golden Horse, Golden Statue, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao in the Chinese-speaking circle, in addition to similar Asia-Pacific actresses, directors association actresses and other sub-level awards, a total of 12 awards.
only lost at the Golden Rooster Awards, losing to Xiao Song Jia's "Xiao Hong".
And the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director is the same, basically there will be no two awards, which also makes Lin Xiaoguang see a little hope for winning the award.
In fact, Lin Xiaoguang didn't really care about whether he could win the award, he was happy to be able to win it, but it was normal if he couldn't get it.
Moreover, in addition to Lin Xiaoguang being shortlisted for Best Director, Wang Bo and Tao Hong were also shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress respectively for the movie "Dear".
However, the most regrettable thing for Lin Xiaoguang is Hao Lei, she was not shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress, which was really unexpected by him.
