Chapter 400: First on the double list
Wang Tong, chairman of the jury of this year's Golden Horse Awards, told the media: "It's a pity that this kind of thing happened, it's not what we want to see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The INFO Golden Horse Awards value Zhang Ran very much, and this time "The Aviator" won eleven nominations and won the heaviest Best Film Award, which is enough to prove the importance attached to Zhang Ran. But Zhang Ran has said some things, it's better to take them back, the Golden Horse Awards do have things that are not done well, they can be corrected, there is no need to say them to death, isn't it?"
Immediately afterwards, some people related to the Golden Horse Awards began to stand up and respond to the whole incident.
Li Xing, a famous director of Taiwan, publicly said: "The Golden Horse Awards have existed for 41 years, and it is not the first time that they have been bombarded. This time the Golden Horse Awards did not do well, but Zhang Ran's reaction was a little excessive. He only came in the 41st year, and it took 40 years of fairness for us to maintain it until now, so when he complains, he shouldn't deny the Golden Horse Award because of his words. ”
Wu Nianzhen, who has been a judge of the Golden Horse Awards, also said: "The Golden Horse has gone through 41 years of ups and downs and has a good reputation in the industry. The influence of the Golden Horse Awards will not be erased because of Zhang Ran's remarks. Zhang Ran obviously lost his words this time, and Jinma still walked for 41 years without Zhang Ran. The earth doesn't turn the same way without anyone!"
Dai Liren, who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, stood up: "The professionalism, fairness and freedom of the Golden Horse Awards are in the hearts of the people and cannot be slandered, and the support of countless filmmakers strongly illustrates this." ”
Xiangjiang film critic Su Qi had a verbal fight with Zhang Ran, and this time it was a judge of the Golden Horse Awards, and he criticized Zhang Ran in an interview with Xiangjiang media: "Ang Lee won the Golden Bear twice at the Berlin Film Festival and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. "The Aviator" was able to win the award entirely out of encouragement for newcomers. The Golden Horse Awards have gone through 41 years, and it is not your turn to question the professionalism. Don't think that if you win the Golden Lion Award, you think you are invincible in the world, you can only say that you are a frog at the bottom of a well!"
Zhang Ran only sneered after seeing the response of the Golden Horse Awards, although the other party admitted that there was a problem with the Golden Horse Awards, but did not apologize, but was full of accusations.
If this matter was aimed at Zhang Ran, then he might forget it, but his daughter-in-law was slandered, and the other party still had this attitude, he was a little angry: "I said directly, the Golden Horse Award is very amateurish, and the reason why it is amateur is that there are too many amateurs in it." If you move Ang Lee out, what if Ang Lee has won more awards? That can only mean that Ang Lee's level is high, what does it have to do with the unprofessionalism of the Golden Horse Awards? If according to your logic, Martin Scorsese and Coppola in the United States are higher than you, I will talk and laugh with him. As a film critic, it's important to improve your knowledge, otherwise it's a joke, and I'm worried about you!"
After Zhang Ran ried back at the Golden Horse Awards, Zhang Ran's fans also lashed out at Su Qi: "What qualifications does a person who acts in a 31-level film have to criticize Zhang Ran?"
"Die, Su San, what are you? I haven't had a good impression of her, I don't know if you've seen her photo album, it's all broken underneath!"
"Impossible, right? I've seen breast-baring photos. Big brother, I want to see it, send me a text message!"
"You scolded the wrong person, this is Suki, it's a man. He is a director and film critic in Hong Kong, and has served as the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly". It has a high status in the circle!"
"I'm not interested in Su Qi, I just want to see Su Qi's photo and send me a text message!"
For a while, Su Qi's nude photos flew around the world, and he lay down with a shot. Of course, it can't be completely said to be a lying gun, Su Qi's original name was Lin Lihui, in the 90s, because Su Qi often accused Wang Jing's movies of being vulgar and of low artistic value, Wang Jing gave Lin Lihui a stage name Su Qi, which was specially used to disgust Su Qi. Don't you call me vulgar, I'll let your name be linked to vulgar movies every day. From this point of view, Su Qi's lying gun is actually an inevitability.
In the next few days, Zhang Ran and the Golden Horse Awards had a scolding battle in the media. A popular director actually had a scolding battle with his peers, and this is a rare good show! The major media and major web portals have carried out overwhelming reports on this as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
At the headquarters of Huayi in Beiping, Feng Xiaogang was drinking tea and chatting with Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei.
"Zhang Ran, this kid is simply too hype!" Looking at today's newspaper, Feng Xiaogang's face was full of depression. The premiere of "No Thieves in the World" is imminent, and there are few reports on "No Thieves in the World" in the media, all of which are reporting on Zhang Ran's verbal battle with the Golden Horse Awards. Now he is really a little worried about the box office of "No Thieves in the World"!
"Yes, if you want to talk about hype, I'm afraid Zhang Weiping can't compare to him!" Wang Zhongjun took a sip of the teacup and said with a solemn expression, "The use of the Golden Horse Awards hype should be temporary, I am thinking that before the release of "The Aviator", Zhang Ran may have a bombshell released!"
Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei's expressions are a little dignified, Feng Xiaogang's directorial fame, Huayi Brothers' public relations ability, plus Andy Lau, Ge You, Liu Ruoying, and other big names and small wrists, even if they bump into Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang is not afraid. But Zhang Ran is the king of the mainland box office, and since the theme song press conference of "The Aviator" in October, with the popularity of "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" all over the country, the audience's expectations for the movie have also reached a peak.
"No Thieves in the World" collides head-on with "The Aviator", and the pressure is very high!
On this day, the French "Cinémathèque" released the top ten films of the year in 2004. The list continues its tradition of focusing on art films, but to the surprise of domestic media and critics, Zhang Ran's "The Aviator" is ranked first, the Thai film "Tropical Disease" is ranked second, and the third place is "Tiexi District" by Chinese director Wang Bing, as well as "Khmer Rouge Killing Machine", "Ghost Village", "Sara Twin Trees", "King and Queen", "Brown Rabbit", "Coffee Time" and "Kill Bill 2".
The influence of the Cinema Handbook on the history of world cinema goes far beyond the confines of a film magazine. has been taking the high-end route, and the forced score is very high, Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou have won numerous awards at the three major film festivals, but they have never been on this list. Chinese directors who can often be on this list are Wang Jiawei, Yang Dechang, and Hou Xiaoxian.
"Film Manual" has always been very cold and repulsive to commercial films, and Zhang Ran has always been a more commercial director, no one expected that Zhang Ran could be shortlisted for the top ten movies of "Film Manual", and ranked first.
Before this, only one Chinese director had won the first place in the "Film Handbook", which was Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Sea Flower". Although Wang Jiawei and Yang Dechang have been shortlisted for the top ten movies many times, they have never won the first place.
Domestic film critics have not yet recovered from the shock, and the authoritative British magazine "Sight and Hearing" has also announced its top ten films. "The Aviator" also ranked first, followed by films such as "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind", "Love at Sunset", and "Million Dollar Baby".
Film critics were dumbfounded, it turned out to be the first on the double list of "Movie Manual" and "Sight and Hearing"!
After Su Qi saw the rankings of the two lists, it was like being slapped twice, and it hurt hotly. His evaluation of "The Aviator" is now a joke!
The difference in taste between "The Movie Handbook" and "Sight & Sound" is a bit big, "The Movie Handbook" is the birthplace of the New Wave and is biased towards authorial films, while "Sight & Sound" is a British magazine with a more Hollywood taste. Because of the big difference in taste, it is extremely rare for a movie to be able to get the first place on both lists. "Hou Hsiao-hsien's" "Flowers of the Sea" won the first place in the "Film Manual" in '98, but only won the third place on the list of "Sight and Sound".
On NetEase's film forum, many film veterans discussed this: "Mr. Zhou, which was the last movie to win the first place on the double list?"
Zhou Liming replied: "It should be '92's "Unforgivable", Clint Eastwood's one. ”
Gu Xiaobei sighed: "It's been twelve years, and it's another double No. 1 movie, and this movie turned out to be a Chinese movie, it's incredible!"
"Yes, Wang Jiawei, Hou Xiaoxian, and Yang Dechang did what they didn't do, Zhang Ran actually did it. He is only twenty-seven years old, and his future achievements are only very amazing, and he is likely to surpass Wang Jiawei and them!"
"Which of you has seen this movie? I remember when I was in Venice, it seemed to be quite controversial, and there were a lot of bad reviews in the media. What the hell is going on?"
"I watched this movie in Venice and liked it very much. As long as you have seen Zhang Ran's use of the camera, you will be amazed that the movie can still be made like this! The whole movie is about dreams and the changes of the times. But unlike Jia Zhangke's movie, the whole movie is very good! I don't know how to describe it, but it is definitely a movie that can go down in history!"
"I'm grass, so awesome, then I must see it then!"
Don't talk about other people, Zhang Ran himself was shocked to be the first on the double list, being able to get the first place on the double list is basically a masterpiece that left a famous film history, although "The Aviator" is good, but it hasn't reached that level, right?
Domestic fans don't know much about "The Film Handbook" and "Sight and Hearing", and they don't understand the significance of being the first on the double list, which has caused no reaction, but it has caused an uproar abroad, the "New York Times" commented on it as "moving towards the master", and the report of "Variety" is "Zhang Ran, the young director who is most likely to become a master".
On December 7th, "There Are No Thieves in the World" premiered in Beiping, which fired the first shot of the Chinese New Year file. "No Thieves in the World" was a big hit on the first day, achieving a box office of 16 million, creating a new high for Feng Xiaogang's box office on the first day.
In the past, Feng Xiaogang's films had a strong regional character, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, and the north of the Yangtze River, everyone was crazy about it, and the south of the Yangtze River was not adapted to the water and soil. However, this time, Feng Xiaogang changed this and achieved both north and south, and the audience gave high praise to the movie.
The double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth made Feng Xiaogang become public, and announced loudly: "This year, I am here for the champion of the Chinese New Year!"
The media felt that Feng Xiaogang was declaring war on Zhang Ran, after all, Zhang Ran is now the box office record holder, but Zhang Ran did not respond. Feng Xiaogang obviously wanted to pull Zhang Ran to hype, so he didn't fall for it.
The premiere of "The Aviator" is scheduled for December 16, and after Zhang Ran returned to Beiping from Nanjing, he has been putting the finishing touches on the premiere of the film.
While Zhang Ran was busy with the premiere of "The Aviator", on December 10, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the list of nominees for the 62nd Golden Globe Awards, with Scorsese's film "The Aviator" leading the way with six nominations, and Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby" followed with five nominations.
This year, Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides" represents China to the Olympics, and the Golden Globe Awards, as one of the three vanes of the Oscars, the performance of "Ambush on All Sides" at the Golden Globe Awards determines the fate of the film at the Oscars.
However, after the reporters watched the list of nominees for the best foreign language film, everyone showed a surprised expression, in addition to Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides", among the five nominated films, there is also Zhang Ran's "Aviator"! )
