Chapter 295 of the text After the Hundred Flowers

Next chapter

After returning from Los Angeles, Zhang Ran devoted all his energy to the preparation of the new film. ~, scouting, discussing special effects, redrawing storyboards, and being very busy.

Although it was very hard, Zhang Ran was busy in an almost excited state, and the whole person was full of passion. After waiting for more than ten years and brewing for more than ten years, I can finally start filming the story I want to shoot the most.

However, when the time was approaching November, Zhang Ran had to temporarily stop the work at hand and rush to Jiaxing, because the Hundred Flowers Award was about to start.

The Hundred Flowers Award represents the audience's views and evaluations of the film, and the award is voted for by the audience, which is the audience award. This award is the audience's affirmation of himself, Zhang Ran can't help but give the audience face, so he must receive it. There are a total of five awards at the Hundred Flowers Awards, Best Feature Film, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress. "Burst Drummer" was nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

In fact, Zhang Jingchu has very few roles in "Bursting Drummer", and her role is pitifully thin, but Zhang Jingchu is more popular and has more fans, and her fans specially launched a voting campaign, so she unexpectedly won the nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

On the evening of November 1st, Zhang Ran walked on the red carpet with the crew of "Bursting Drummer", this time "Bursting Drummer" was fully dispatched, and the main actors, including Jay Chou, were all present.

After entering the scene of the award ceremony, Zhang Ran was in a happy mood, and Zhang Ran was laughing with Jay Chou and Zhang Jingchu while waiting for the lottery. However, Zhang Jingchu seemed a little absent-minded, although she followed Zhang Ran to participate in many film festivals and attended many award ceremonies, but the awards have never had anything to do with her, and now it is easy to be nominated, and she is naturally nervous and looking forward to it.

The first award was the Best Supporting Actor Award, and Feng Yuanyi won this award without surprise.

Feng Yuanyi stood on the stage and smiled: "It's really unexpected to get this award, I thought it would be lucky that the audience didn't prick my bicycle tires and didn't beat me, but I didn't expect everyone to vote for me." I would like to express my gratitude to all the viewers who supported this film and supported me!

The audience applauded like thunder. The audience at the scene expressed their support with applause.

Wang Zhiwen, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "With You", shook his head helplessly while applauding. The role of the teacher of "Burst Drummer" was originally his, but unfortunately he chose the more famous Zhang Zhiliang when the crew was in turmoil. The result was a fulfillment of Feng Yuanyi. It's really a fate!

The next award was the Best Supporting Actress, and the award presenter Da Tao Hong walked onto the stage with an envelope.

Zhang Jingchu exhaled and sat up straight. Zhang Ran felt her nervousness and said with a smile: "No, it's just a Hundred Flowers Award actress." It's so nervous!"

Zhang Jingchu defended with insufficient confidence: "I'm not nervous. ”

Zhang Ran held Jing Chu's hand, felt that her palms were full of sweat, and comforted: "Relax, it's okay!"

Da Tao Hong on the stage had already opened the list of winners, looked at the names inside, and said with a smile: "The winner of the Best Supporting Actress at the 26th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award is ......"

Zhang Ran felt Zhang Jingchu's hand clenched, and even his breathing was a little short.

The award presenter read out the name: "Zhang Jingchu, "Bursting Drummer"!"

The applause and cheers at the scene were thunderous, and Zhang Jingchu's popularity was undoubtedly highlighted. At this time, Zhang Jingchu, who was sitting in the audience, stood up and hugged Zhang Ran excitedly. "Is it really me?" he shouted, "Did I hear me right?"

Zhang Ran smiled and patted Zhang Jingchudi on the back: "That's right, everyone likes you, go on stage!"

Zhang Jingchu can be regarded as having seen a big face, and by the time she came on stage, she had calmed down: "Thank you to all the audience who supported "Burst Drummer", thank you to everyone who voted for me. Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Wait until Zhang Jingchu comes down from the stage. Zhang Ran took the trophy from her hand and said with a smile: "You have won the award, your award can be said to be the most supporting actress in history!"

Zhang Jingchu gave Zhang Ran a look and said angrily: "I hate it! The Hundred Flowers Award is the audience award, whoever has more votes wins." I don't accept it!"

Zhang Ran laughed softly: "This is really a husband and a wife." Your shameless Cheng dù is about to catch up with me!"

Zhang Jingchu protested: "There are few scenes in the first place, and you also cut out one of the third." The beautiful name is that the heroine is actually a trick, and there is no room to play, how can you show your acting skills?

Zhang Ran raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, it's all my fault, you must have more scenes in the next play." When I cut the film, I cut other people's shots, so I don't have to cut yours, okay?"

Zhang Jingchu smiled: "It's pretty much the same!

The Best Actor Award was won by Lu Qi, the star of "Deng Xiaoping", and the crown of Best Actress fell to Xu Jinglei. Then came the final award, Best Feature Film.

Award presenter Zhang Guoli announced loudly on the stage: "The best feature film that won the 27th Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films is "Hero", "Out of the Amazon", and "Bursting Drummer"!"

Since the third Hundred Flowers Award, the Best Feature Film Award has always been three, and it was not changed to one until 2006, so when he heard that three films had won the award, Zhang Ran didn't feel strange and got up on stage to accept the award.

After receiving the trophy from the hands of the award presenters, Zhang Ran looked at the audience and smiled: "I am really grateful to the friends who supported this movie, it was your support that made "Burst Drummer" a box office success, and now you have sent me to the podium again! Thank you very much! Now Chinese films are in a difficult situation, and there are still many shortcomings, but I really hope that everyone will not be disappointed in Chinese films and pay more attention to domestic films." I believe that as long as we all work together, Chinese films will get better and better, thank you!"

After speaking, Zhang Ran raised the Hundred Flowers Trophy high and walked off the stage with a smile.

At the end of the award ceremony, the jury announced the list of nominees for the Golden Rooster Award.

"Warm," which won Best Picture and Best Actor at the Tokyo Film Festival in October, received seven nominations, while "Burst Drummer" did not have a single nomination. Of course, it's not that the Golden Rooster Award deliberately embarrassed "Burst Drummer", but that "Burst Drummer" didn't sign up at all.

Zhang Ran has no interest in the Golden Rooster Award, the Golden Rooster Award has a special theme, and he likes to divide pork, which is quite boring. What's more, judges often have preconceptions about films that do well at the box office, and the higher the box office, the less they like them, and in their opinion, business and art are incompatible. They embraced the French New Wave and were full of contempt for Hollywood. And Zhang Ran is playing the Hollywood set, everyone can't pee a pot at all, and he doesn't want to humiliate himself.

The next day, Zhang Ran embarked on a journey back to Beiping with the crew. Airplanes soar in the sky. The news about the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award also seemed to have wings and spread all over the streets and alleys of China, especially on the Internet.

"Whose award is the Golden Rooster Award? "Bursting Drummer" has not been nominated for a single one? Is the Golden Rooster Award higher than the Tokyo Film Festival?"

"The Hundred Flowers Award "Bursting Drummer" won three yuan in a row, but the Golden Rooster Award was empty-handed. Is there really such a big gap between experts and spectators?"

The judges of the Golden Rooster Award are naturally very depressed, we are really lying down and getting shot, people don't sign up, do we still beg them?

Zhang Huijun was a member of the jury of the Golden Rooster Awards, and called Zhang Ran: "You stinky boy, why didn't you sign up? Do you know how much we were scolded because you didn't sign up?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Dean, I didn't know that you were one of the judges, if you had known that I would definitely sign up!"

Zhang Huijun said speechlessly: "Okay, don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and clarify for me!"

After hanging up the phone. Zhang Ran contacted Tang Jia of "Beijing Entertainment News" and asked her to help her make a statement: "I have been busy with "Time and Space Warrior" this year, and I missed the registration time, which is a pity!"

Zhang Ran's statement temporarily calmed the anger of netizens, but after the Golden Rooster Award ceremony, there was another scolding.

"Last year's Golden Rooster Award was questioned by the audience and the media about the fairness of the Golden Rooster Award because of three double yolk eggs in a row, and this year's situation has always been the focus of attention of reporters. Last night, the Golden Rooster bravely and firmly gave birth to two more double yolk eggs, the Best Director Debut 1 Award and the Best Feature Film Award ("Stormy Waves", "Warm"). In this regard, the host Li Yong said. It's not surprising to us, it's quite intriguing!"

"Ge You lost to Xia Yu, Jiang Wenli lost to Yu Nan, and the Golden Rooster Award was a big upset!"

Xia Yu's girlfriend Yuan Quan is a judge of this year's Golden Rooster Awards. Will there be a relationship among them?"

Zhang Ran feels that many of the media's criticisms of the Golden Rooster Award are right, and the Golden Rooster Award is very problematic, full of shady scenes, and black-box operations. However, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Yu Nan winning the award, he has basically watched Yu Nan's movies, including "Shocking", which won the award this time. There is no problem at all after taking the movie.

Yu Nan is Zhang Ran's favorite actor, and she is one of the few actors in China who can insist on experiencing life. She really went to the countryside to experience life in "Shocking", the herdsman who played "Tuya's Marriage" really worked as a herdsman in Inner Mongolia for a few months, and the young lady who played "No Man's Land" also experienced life in the hair salon for a month. Such an actor is very rare!

If Zhang Ran didn't have a girlfriend, he would probably ask Yu Nan to be the heroine of his new film. The heroine of his new play is a worker, Yu Nan once acted in a play called "Fire Phoenix", the role is a textile worker, before acting she entered the textile factory as a "worker", speaking pure Shaanxi dialect, everyone thought she had just come out of the countryside to work.

Of course, now Zhang Jingchu, under the influence of Zhang Ran, will experience life in every play. This time is no exception, she will definitely go to the factory to experience life. I believe that as long as the workers come in two or three months, she will definitely be able to grasp this role.

On the evening of November 12, Zhang Ran received a call from Dean Zhang Huijun, asking him to attend a meeting at the school tomorrow afternoon.

Zhang Ran said lazily: "Dean, I've been busy lately, if it's not an important meeting, forget it!"

Zhang Huijun said: "The leaders of the Film Bureau and the symposium of young directors from all walks of life, many young directors will be present. The leader of the Film Bureau called your name and hoped that you would be there!"

Zhang Ran asked, "The battle is very big, what kind of meeting is it?"

Zhang Huijun said: "It's not the WTO's trouble, according to the WTO's regulations, the number of imported films in the first year is ten, the number of imported films from China is doubled to 20 in the second year, and the number of films imported by China is 50 in the third year. The wolf of Hollywood is really coming, and Chinese films are facing unprecedented challenges. Therefore, the Film Bureau intends to not blame those who have made underground films in the past, and let go of the good news in the future, as long as the script outline is clear under the new commercial film system, they can enter the market. The opinion of the leaders of the Film Bureau is basically to ask Zhao'an to cooperate with everyone to collectively enter the field of commercial films. ”

"The film bureau has a brain in the water! I actually want to recruit those people who play underground movies to make commercial films!" Zhang Ran had heard about this in his previous life, but he didn't expect the film bureau to be this purpose, and his jaw almost didn't drop. (To be continued.) )
