Verse 98: A play
(The editor-in-charge is finally at work, and it will be on the shelves this Friday, so it won't be wrong again this time)
Standing on the stage, facing thousands of film and television elites from all over the country and even all over the world, saying acceptance speeches, thanking this and thanking that, feeling the gaze of thousands of people on him, watching the reporters in the aisle holding their cameras and constantly filming him, and even imagining that hundreds of millions of viewers around the world are sitting in front of the TV and watching him, Duane is in a trance while mechanically giving a speech.
He was not in a trance to get the best screenwriter, but he was lamented by the unpredictability of fate.
Just a year ago, he was just a supermarket meat seller, with a salary of 650 a month, racking his brains about how to increase the box office of "Chainsaw", but now a year later, he has stood in the hall of the highest honor of Chinese films, holding a trophy symbolizing honor - although only the best screenwriter.
The unpredictability of fate lies in this.
Du An's eyesight is good, so he saw Liu Dehua sitting in the middle of the pre-exam position in the front 2 districts of the audience. When "Saw Horror" was released, "The Big Man" starring him was also being released, and he still remembered that in the lobby of the Lumière International Studios, the "Big Man" promotional poster was placed in front of the "Chainsaw" poster, and this time the Best Screenplay nomination included "The Big Man".
The script of "The Big Man" is very good in Duane's opinion, full of a Buddhist Zen beauty with Chinese characteristics, and it is meaningful, and every nomination for the Huabiao Award for Best Screenplay is really not an ordinary person, but in the end, it was his own "Chainsaw", which was previously considered the most unpromising script by Duane himself, to win the best screenplay.
Du An's even saw Wei Jiahui, who was sitting three seats on Lau's left-hand side, smiling, but the loneliness on his face was overflowing - he was one of the screenwriters of "The Big Man".
He had to sigh once again that the level of the jury was indeed not something that he could speculate as a newcomer who had been in the industry for more than a year.
There are no words but to thank you once again.
“…… Finally, thank you once again to the jury for awarding this award to me. ”
After finishing the acceptance speech, the venue rang out with applause as usual.
Holding the trophy and coming back to his seat, Duane still couldn't understand how he had won the award.
"Congratulations, Director Du. ”
Zhu Qian smiled brightly and was genuinely happy for him.
Duane said politely: "It's a best screenplay, and it's not a big deal." ”
He is really not too excited: the Huabiao Award for Best Screenplay may be a great honor for screenwriters, but he is a director, and he really doesn't feel good about winning this award, especially when this award is a little inexplicable.
But something is better than nothing, so he still rubbed the Huabiao Award trophy in his hand over and over again.
"It's a clear signal,"
Zhang Jiayi said in a low voice on the side.
Du An and Zhu Qian glanced at each other and found that they didn't quite understand Zhang Jiayi's words, so they looked at Zhang Jiayi together.
Seeing that these two people didn't quite understand, Zhang Jiayi thought about it, and finally said: "Director Du, look, your two films have been nominated for Best Screenplay and Actress respectively, among them, "Chainsaw" is a bit close to the Huabiao Award, and "Pretty Woman" is not a good match at all. Now the jury has given you the best screenplay, which means that the actress is gone, this is balance. After a pause, he added: "Moreover, "Chainsaw" has depth of thought, and they give you this award, which is also to encourage you to make more movies like this in the future. ”
Du An somewhat understood what Zhang Jiayi meant.
The setting of various awards such as the Huabiao Award has somewhat guided the development trend of the film industry, and it has indeed played an outstanding role: under the guidance of a series of professional awards such as the Huabiao Award Hundred Flowers Award, which focuses on the connotation of the film, the current mainstream aesthetic of Chinese films is "a thought-provoking film is a good movie", and filmmakers also regard it as the truth, so even if it is like "Hero" The pinnacle of such a commercial film also has to add ideas such as harmony and the world, and it seems that a pure commercial film without any artistic ideas is a bad movie.
"Pretty Woman" is this kind of pure hormonal movie that does not conform to the aesthetics of the Huabiao Awards, except for the things he is talking about, there is no artistry in it, so he himself thinks that there is no controversy about "Pretty Woman" not being nominated for Best Picture, but the actress is different.
In Du An's view, the competition for the personal ability of an actor like the actress should be taken out separately, what does it have to do with the theme of the film?
And soon, it was time for the award of Best Actress.
“…… The nominees are, "Can't Forget", Zhang Baizhi...... "Once Upon a Time in Taiwan", Jiang Wenli...... "Mobile Phone", and Zhu Bingbing ......"
Every time Jing Wei reports a name, a screenshot of the relevant film will appear on the big screen, and after the three names are reported, the last name is reached.
...... "Pretty Woman", Zhu Qian. ”
Duane looked at the big screen, only to see a close-up of Zhu Qian's side appearing on it, she was holding her forehead, speechless: "What else? Will you leave me some money at the bedside?"
In fact, Duane prefers the bathroom scene.
Looking sideways, I saw Zhu Qian's expressionless face, but upon closer inspection, I could find that her little hands were clenched.
Although she has listened to Zhang Jiayi's analysis, she also understands that she has little hope, but as long as the award has not been announced, there is still hope.
And as she herself said, she has played her best in "Fengyue", if she doesn't win this award this time, she doesn't know when it will be next time, so she can't help but be nervous.
"The winner of the Best Actress at the 37th Huabiao Awards is ......"
The guest of honor for this award is Wang Jiawei, who still wears a pair of big sunglasses in a very personal style even at the Huabiao Award ceremony.
Looking down at the paper in his hand, he slowly reported the name, "Movie "Mobile Phone", Zhu Bingbing. ”
Du An's eyes widened, and there was only one thought left in his mind: What the hell?! In the ranking order drawn up by Du Anxin, Zhu Qian is the most likely to win, followed by Jiang Wenli, Zhang Baizhi, and finally Zhu Bingbing, but the thoughts of the judges of the Huabiao Award are indeed not something he can speculate, so he can't be a judge.
He turned his head to look again, only to see Zhu Qian's hand clenched into a fist gradually loosened, and his body slowly relaxed, and a free and easy smile cast after sensing his gaze.
"Look. ”
Zhang Jiayi said something on the side.
This qiē was the same as he had just predicted.
Watching Zhu Bingbing staggering onto the stage, receiving the trophy with infinite surprise, looking so excited that he almost cried, looking at the people around him applauding warmly, and then looking at Zhu Qian next to him with a hint of unwilling smile, Du An was a little in a trance.
It's like a scene......
He wanted to do something.
"Brother Zhang,"
He suddenly turned his head to face Zhang Jiayi next to him, "Do you still have a schedule this year?"
When he saw Zhang Jiayi, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with surprise, and he said "Yes, yes, yes".
"I probably have a movie to make, the protagonist won't be you, but I can give you a supporting role, and there are a lot of scenes, I don't know if you want to come?"
Supporting roles...... Zhang Jiayi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is the protagonist?"
Duane can see that he is probably scared of the "Terminator", afraid that he will make a pure rookie actor to take the lead.
"It's not decided yet," Duane really didn't think about who to find to play the main character.
Zhang Jiayi hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Director Du will call me at that time." ”
Duane nodded, didn't say any more, retracted his gaze, looked around the theater, and finally looked at the big Huabiao on the stage, and put down the Huabiao trophy in his hand.
Probably growing up in the countryside and getting used to it, he was not so easy to be recruited, and the next move he was going to do was probably more like the thorn in this scene.
I just don't know if next year's Huabiao Awards will have the courage to look directly at this movie.
It must have been a wonderful scene. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
