Chapter 396: Golden Horse Award

The most notable part of this year's Golden Horse Awards was the crew of "The Aviator", which received 11 nominations, including almost all the major awards at the Golden Horse Awards. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Second only to "The Aviator" is Wang Jiawei's film "2046", which received 8 nominations, and almost all media believe that "2046" will be the biggest competitor of "The Aviator".

In addition, Lu Chuan's "Ho Ho Xili" is also a major contender for major awards, "Ke Ho Xili" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Tokyo Film Festival in October, and this time it also won five nominations at the Golden Horse Awards, including Best Film and Best Director.

The crew of "The Aviator" is more open to the awards, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to get them, and if they can't get them, they will be treated as free travel. Everyone knows that whether it is a golden horse, a golden statue, or a golden rooster, there are local protection strategies, and there are many shady scenes.

However, the most successful of the three awards in Chinese is the Golden Horse Awards, which accept Hong Kong and mainland films, and are relatively open to all Chinese-language films. The Academy Awards are limited to Xiangjiang films, and when Xiangjiang films were prosperous, they were just fine, but now that Xiangjiang films have obviously declined and are still so closed, the Academy Awards have naturally become the self-entertainment of Xiangjiang films. The biggest problem with the Golden Rooster Award is that many mediocre main theme movies can win the best picture, and there are often double yolk eggs, resulting in a serious shrinkage of the gold content of the award, the best is the best, the best should be the only one, and it is easy for people to despise its weight if there are more double yolk eggs.

The movies "Bursting Drummer" and "Heartbreaker" starring Zhang Jingchu have both been screened in Taiwan Bend, and the box office is also quite good, with a large number of fans. When she and Huang Lei appeared on the red carpet, they were warmly welcomed by the fans, and the whole scene resounded with earth-shattering cheers.

"I didn't expect Zhang Jingchu to have such fans, her popularity is so high! It's a pity that Zhang Ran didn't come, otherwise the scene would definitely be more lively!" a reporter sighed while holding his camera and looking at the photos he had just taken.

"Yes, it's a pity that Zhang Ran didn't come, I really like him!" The reporter next to him looked regretful.

"Maybe I can't look down on the Golden Horse Awards, right? Hey, the person I want to interview the most is him. The female reporter next to her said very regretfully.

At this moment, Zhang Ran was sitting on a chair in a room in the Xiyuan Hotel of Nanjing University, looking out the window. This room is the same room where Zhang Chunru stayed in Nanjing nine years ago. Zhang Ran was thinking about what Zhang Chunru would have thought about during the 20 miles she had in Nanjing, and what changes had she made in her heart.

Under normal circumstances, movies are all about people, and biopics are even more so, but as a movie, it is only good to shoot the transformation and growth of the characters. In Schindler's List, Schindler begins out as a money-hungry, lascivious businessman who has nothing to do with greatness. However, as the film develops, Schindler goes through various events and slowly grows into a hero, and it is with these experiences that the growth and transformation of the characters is even more great and valuable.

Filming Zhang Chunru must also shoot growth and change, if these can't be filmed, this film will inevitably smash the pot.

After walking the red carpet, Zhang Jingchu and the crew walked into the venue and found their seats under the guidance of the staff. Next to it is the crew of "2046", Wang Jiawei, Liang Chaowei, and Zhang Ziyi are all there.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Jingchu greeted with a smile: "Ziyi, long time no see!"

Zhang Ziyi took Zhang Jingchu's hand, as enthusiastic as a good sister: "Jingchu, you are here! this time we are opponents!" As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Jingchu's side and said strangely: "Zhang Ran, why didn't he come?"

Zhang Jingchu lowered her voice and said: "Taiwan is not allowed to see fans, sign autographs, or accept interviews, he is very angry, and he has other things, so he didn't come!"

Zhang Ziyi has more contact with Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has been hacked a lot, nodding slightly: "Some people in Hong Kong and Taiwan don't treat us as a family, but as enemies. Leave them alone, we just do our best. ”

Zhang Jingchu didn't want to continue this topic, and asked: "Ziyi, aren't you filming "Memoirs of a Geisha", it's already finished?"

Zhang Ziyi looked a little proud: "Not yet." Director Rob Marshall's filming has always been meticulous and slow, and it will probably be completed in February next year. How are you? What movies have you been making lately?"

Zhang Jingchu said: "I am filming "The Two of Us", talking about communication and understanding between people, a film directed by Ma Liwen. ”

Zhang Ziyi asked quietly: "What is Zhang Ran's new film going to make? Is it a science fiction film?"

Zhang Jingchu shook her head and said: "It's called "Three Fools", it's about college students and education, and I like this story very much." However, this drama was filmed for the students of their class, and the leading actors were also students of their class. ”

"The students in their class are so happy!" Zhang Ziyi was a little surprised, and said casually, "I still like his sci-fi films, and only he can make good sci-fi blockbusters among domestic directors." Does he have any plans to make science fiction films in the future? Won't he keep making literary movies like "The Aviator," right?"

Zhang Ran told Zhang Jingchu that he would make a big heroine for her after "Three Fools", although Zhang Ran hadn't thought about what to shoot yet, it should be a small-budget movie. Zhang Jingchu said: "He will definitely make science fiction films, he likes science fiction movies, but the next two should be low-budget movies similar to "The Aviator"!"

Zhang Ziyi did not take Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Xu Jinglei in her eyes, nor did she take Cecilia Cheung and Su Qi in her eyes. She has three films released in North America this year, all of which have been box office successes. These three films, especially "Time Warrior", really opened her up in North America and really became an international chapter.

However, Zhang Ziyi is a little afraid of Zhang Jingchu, afraid that Zhang Jingchu will take the international route like herself. Zhang Jingchu is behind Zhang Ran, if Zhang Ran has the heart to let Zhang Jingchu take the international route, making two movies similar to "Time and Space Warrior" can definitely make her popular, and Zhang Ziyi will inevitably be impacted at that time, and her status may be difficult to protect.

Now hearing Zhang Jingchu say this, Zhang Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, making small-budget movies will definitely not pose a threat to herself, if only Zhang Ran would be a literary film director from now on. Of course, these must not be seen on Zhang Ziyi's face, and she and Zhang Jingchu chatted more enthusiastically.

At 7:20 p.m., the Golden Horse Awards ceremony officially began. The award ceremony was co-hosted by Lin Chiling and Cai Kangyong, and Lin Chiling's standard of hosting the show was really low, like a wooden man. However, her forty-two-inch slender and beautiful legs are very eye-catching, and even Huang Lei, a married woman and man, has straight eyes.

The two chatted on stage for a while and began to present the awards, starting with the best art direction. Huo Tingxiao, the artist of "The Aviator", was nominated for this award, and his opponents were Zhang Shuping of "2046", Huang Ruiming of "New Police Story", Hong Donglu of "Bright Song and Dance Troupe", and Lin Zhengsheng of "Under the Moonlight, I Remember".

Zhang Jingchu naturally hoped that Huo Tingxiao would win, but in the end this award was won by Zhang Shuping. In the field of film art, Zhang Shuping is simply invincible, and it is difficult to find a character comparable to him in the Chinese film industry.

The next few awards, such as the Best Styling Award, the Best Sound Award, and the Best Original Music for the Movie, "The Aviator" all missed.

Zhang Jingchu was very depressed, originally thought that "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" would win the best song, but she didn't expect to lose. She was complaining to Huang Lei when suddenly a voice came from the stage: "The winner of the best photography award is Zhao Fei of "The Aviator"!"

Zhang Jingchu jumped up and cheered loudly: "Teacher Zhao Fei, you have won the award!"

Zhao Fei was very calm, coughed after walking on stage, and looked down: "It is very painful to cooperate with Zhang Ran, his ideas are crazy, his requirements are very high, and a shot will be shot and changed repeatedly." However, it is also very fortunate to work with Zhang Ran, without his genius imagination and creativity, there would be no film. Of course, I would not have won this award without you, and I would like to give this award to my family. Thank you!"

The awards ceremony continued, with the Best Editing award taken away by David Richardson of "The Big Event" and Best Supporting Actress won by Bai Ling of "Three Shifts 2". Unexpectedly, the best adapted screenplay also lost to Lin Zhengsheng of "Under the Moonlight, I Remember", Zhang Jingchu shook her head, she thought that Zhang Ran would definitely be able to win this award, but she didn't expect to lose.

In the competition for Best Supporting Actor, Huang Lei lost to Wu Yanzu of "New Police Story", which is not surprising, Huang Lei's role is on the small side, and the space to play is limited, and being nominated is already the biggest affirmation.

The highlight is finally here, and the next award is the Best Director Award.

Ang Lee took the envelope, slowly walked to the square microphone in the center of the stage, and said with a smile: "Someone invited me to the snack bar today, the taste has not changed, some things in Taiwan have not changed, I participated in the Golden Horse Awards, I saw the ups and downs of Taiwanese films, there is one thing that has not changed and will never change, that is, our enthusiasm for Chinese films, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone here, thank you for participating in the Golden Horse Awards here, seeing old friends here, and making new friends, I am very moved." Thank you Golden Horse Award. Here's a look at the shortlist for Best Director at this year's Golden Horse Awards......"

In the magnificent symphony, on the big screen, with the sound of "Du Qifeng of "Big Event", the big screen has been switched to the picture of "Big Event", and on the other side of the sub-screen, it is aimed at the five directors on the scene, Zhang Ran did not show the camera. Every time the voiceover pronounces a name, the actors on the scene spontaneously applaud.

"Three Watches 2" Chen Guo. ”

"Ke Ke Xili" Lu Chuan. ”

"Mong Kok Dark Night" Er Dongsheng.

""Aviator" Zhang Ran!"

Zhang Jingchu sat up straight, waiting with anticipation to reveal the answer, she believed that this award should be Zhang Ran's. Because of the lens of Zhang Ran in this movie, it shows strong creativity in film grammar, and authoritative media such as "Film Handbook" and "Now and Listening" are all praised, and there is no reason to lose.

Er Dongsheng, Chen Guo, and To Qifeng are all directors who have been famous for many years, and they have all won the Best Director Award at the Golden Horse Awards.

This is the first time Lu Chuan has participated in the Golden Horse Awards, and it is also the first time he has confronted Zhang Ran. "Ho Ho Xili" was supposed to participate in the Venice Film Festival, but was not selected, while Zhang Ran's "The Aviator" won in Venice. Whether it is an insider or a fan, everyone thinks that Lu Chuan's level is far from Zhang Ran. Lu Chuan is very unconvinced by this, where am I worse than Zhang Ran? I just don't have him to fool, if I am given 120 million US dollars, I can also shoot "Time and Space Warrior".

Now Lu Chuan finally waited for the opportunity to defeat Zhang Ran, his eyes were glued to the podium, and he stared at the envelope in Li An's hand.

"The winner of the Best Director at the 41st Golden Horse Awards is ......" In a burst of passionate music, Ang Lee opened the envelope and glanced at the list, his expression was a little surprised, and he stopped.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, what was going on? Who is it?

Ang Lee raised his head, looked at the guests in the audience with a smile on his face, and announced, "Johnny To!" (To be continued.) )
