Nearly a month ago, Crazy Stone received nominations.

However, at that time, it was the explosive period of the Hua Xiaoyu incident, and almost all the news had to be avoided, so there were not many reports that came out.

This time the awards ceremony is different, there haven't been many major events recently.

Even if there is, in the Chinese entertainment industry, the most influential award ceremony is naturally eye-catching.

Because last year's movie "This Man is from Earth" missed the 42nd shortlist when it was released, Wang Meng did not sign up at that time, resulting in no nomination for "This Man from Earth" in the 43rd this year.

There is only one film nominated by DreamWorks, and that is "Crazy Stone".

Among them, there are many awards, Ning Hao was nominated for the Original Screenwriter Award, the Best Director Award, and two awards.

"Crazy Stone" was also nominated for Best Feature Film, and Du Yuan's for Best Editing.

And Wang Meng was nominated for Best New Actor.

One of DreamWorks' "Crazy Stones" was nominated for five nominations, which is not to be taken lightly.

In this year's Golden Horse Awards, "If-Love" leads the Golden Horse with ten nominations, and it is also the one that everyone pays the most attention to.

Secondly, "Father and Son" ranked second with eight nominations.

As for "Night Banquet", which has been very strong at the box office recently, it has only been nominated for a few technical awards, for which Feng Xiaogang is not satisfied.

The 43rd Golden Horse Awards were held at Taipei Arena on November 25, 2006, and today is November 21, which means that the award ceremony will be officially held four days later.

In fact, Wang Meng was very embarrassed about this award ceremony, as a director, he was nominated for the Best New Actor, which was speechless.

However, this is the case.

It is indeed the first time that Shi Shi has acted as an actor, and the Golden Horse Awards also require that a new actor must be the first time to participate in a film and television drama.

This led to the fact that he was a director, but he had to appear as a rookie actor.

However, this award is good or good, regardless of other Best Actor, Best Director, etc. You can not do it once and continue it a second time, but this best newcomer only has one chance.

It may be underweight, but the meaning is crucial.

Therefore, Wang Meng must participate, not to mention that "Crazy Stone" was shortlisted for the Best Feature Film Award, and he wants to appear as a producer, so he will also appear in order for "You at the Same Table", the new film is already in post-production, and it needs to be promoted.

The publicity at the Golden Horse Awards is definitely a good place to go, so I thought twice that Wang Meng wanted to participate in this award ceremony.

And accompanied by Ning Hao, he is the biggest hero of DreamWorks this time, and he is also the one with the most nominations, and he is indispensable. Editor Du Yuan is also from DreamWorks, who joined with Ning Hao some time ago, and this time she has a nomination for Best Editing.

In addition to the participation of each nominee, there are two invitations to participate for the accompanying person.

Wang Meng decided to bring Tang Yan, the female lead actor of "You at the Same Table", and Zheng Kai on the male side, all of whom are their own artists, which can just expand their popularity.

As for Chen Chichi, Wang Chuanjun, Li Jinming, Bai Baihe, Zhao Liying, and others, they only brought Bai Baihe and Zhao Liying, which is also because of "You at the Same Table".

Wang Meng can be said to have fought hard for publicity, anyway, everyone is the same, he now has a family and a job, and he must consider it in many ways.

When Bai Baihe, Tang Yan, Zheng Kai and others learned that they were going to participate in the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, they were excited. Others are a little grumpy.

are all newcomers, some have debuted for a year, and some new films have not yet been released, although Wang Meng's relationship, these people are very lucky.

However, luck is the biggest unlucky, and you can't just rely on luck to move forward, you have to seize every opportunity.

For example, this Golden Horse Awards ceremony is.

Wang Meng's previous trip to Venice was too high-end, and there were few people involved, but now it is different, there are several invitations, so it is natural to compete for it.

Besides, it's too far to go to Venice, so let's talk about it now.

For this reason, Wang Meng also specially explained to Chen Chichi, Wang Chuanjun and others, saying, for the needs of propaganda, you don't have to care. In addition, you have to prepare, there is a TV series to start filming next year, which is directed by Wang Peng, and you are all starring.

The three of them were happy when they heard it, there had been gossip before, and now it is clear that they can be unhappy.

The day before it was due to leave for Taiwan, DreamWorks held a meeting about it.

"Director Wang, in the future, we will arrange more activities for artists, whether it is an awards ceremony or a music ceremony, as well as some big events, as long as it is conducive to publicity, we must follow up, which is conducive to the popularity of our artists. Wu Juan said, who experienced the artist department.

Wang Meng nodded and said: "We had no experience before, but we didn't expect that such a Golden Horse Awards ceremony would let everyone compete, it seems that it was a mistake for us not to pay attention to the previous Huabiao awards." This point needs to be taken seriously, and in the future, whenever there is an opportunity, it will be seized. ”

In the end, Wang Meng said: "By the way, I don't need to arrange it, I don't like to participate in these unnecessary activities, it's not enough to worry about it." ”

After that......

Everyone looked at Wang Meng with disdain.

"Why, I really don't want to participate in such an event, you see this time give me a nomination for a rookie actor, I'm a director, give this, I don't know what they think. The three major international film festivals, and the Oscar-level I can go to participate. Wang Meng muttered.

"Ahem......"

"That, Director Wang, we can't think like that, they are different from you. Just like this Golden Horse Awards, even if you are not nominated, they will also let you be the guest of honor, you go to drive popularity, and our company's artists are famous, which is different. After all, your positioning is too high, isn't it?" Zhang Lantian said speechlessly.

Although Wang Meng is telling the truth, he really doesn't care about such an award ceremony, but he needs it as an artist.

Everyone thinks that it is obvious that Wang Meng dislikes such nominations.

"What positioning is high, what is high, I know my own weight, at best, there are many things I have encountered recently, and the hype is still far behind. I'm not saying that I look down on these award ceremonies, I want me to go to the status of the best director nomination, at least the best actor. Wang Mengdao.

I know that these people have misunderstood, although I have some of that meaning, but I know my own positioning, and I can't reach that level.

Don't say you can't reach it, but you still have to participate when you reach it.

Otherwise, why would Ang Lee, the national teacher and others often participate?

This is not only a reputation, but also a kind of integration. I don't dare to say that the torch is so great, but it is the obligation of a Chinese entertainment director.

Now I am still a young person and a newcomer. But a few years later, as the position was solidified, not to mention the award ceremony, various directorial seminars were a hurdle that could not be escaped.

There must be new actors to guide new actors and promote new directors.

People can be good alone, or they can help the world, the key depends on what kind of identity.

"Director Wang, isn't there still a nomination for the Best Feature Film Award? This is the highest award, so it doesn't hinder your identity?" Zhao Jisen said.

"Hey!" Wang Meng sighed and said, "You still don't understand, what I'm talking about is pure, what is my position? I'm not a boss, not a producer, not an actor, I'm a director." I just want to be pure, Venice I'm a producer, and now I'm a producer, what do you think? I'm a good producer, not a good director! I see, I just want to be pure now, and I prefer to be a director, you know?"

The crowd was stunned.

Only Ning Hao understood and said: "Director Wang is right, first of all, Director Wang's definition is a director, you look at Director Wang's reputation recently, it is either framed by others, or the face slapping incident in Venice, which almost has nothing to do with proving that he is a director." I think everyone who really loves the director industry doesn't like this, in fact, you can see the purity of Director Wang's words as love. ”

"Because I love the position of director, I disdain other ways to become famous, and the only way for a good director to prove himself is the work, not the hype. ”

When Ning Hao said this, everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that his positioning was wrong, and they all thought that Wang Meng could do anything. But Wang Meng's psychological first love is still the director.

This is admired by everyone, people sometimes love a little, and it is indeed great to be pure. Even if it may be fake.

Zhao Jisen, who suddenly realized, said: "Director Wang, I understand, in the future, regarding your news and publicity, we will only focus on your works and your other news. ”

"Hehe......"

Wang Meng smiled: "That's right, pay attention to my news in the future, I went to the school to see Director Lu the day before yesterday." Do you know the first thing Director Lu said to me when we met?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this.

Wang Meng said: "Director Lu said, yo, the big star is here, the big star has been really popular recently." ”

After Wang Meng finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a wry smile.

"Got it?"

Zhao Jisen was stunned and nodded, this is obviously Director Lu reprimanding Wang Meng, although Wang Meng didn't mean to, but it's really passed recently, and a director has become more and more powerful by relying on scandals.

"I knew that in the early stage, we at DreamWorks had to put out a sign, and that signboard was me. But we have to change, we can't just rely on me, I have to calm down and think about it myself. ”

Wang Meng said this, everyone understands that DreamWorks is growing, but the danger of growth.

Wang Meng has always been the leader alone, which is not a good phenomenon, but now that I think about it, it is really true.

That day, Jiang Shuying said that Lao Lu asked him to go to his place, and Wang Menghui met Director Lao Lu after meeting the demon capital, and he was reprimanded.

Wang Mengxun woke up, and in retrospect, it was indeed over, especially the recent series of events.

Fortunately, this old man sees himself like a child, even if others know, they won't say it, right?

"It's not to criticize everyone, I just hope that everyone will change their thinking, we have reached a turning point, we can't rely on myself, we have to make progress in all aspects. I'm sure of your efforts over the past year, you've done a great job, and it's not too late for us to make the switch. Wang Meng also affirmed everyone's achievements.

It's not easy to be a boss, not only to be a leader, but also to point out the direction and learn a lot.

For Wang Meng's praise, everyone is very satisfied, at least they know what they have done, and they also know their own hard work, Wang Meng's must be an appreciation.

"Therefore, Liu Zhiyuan, Wang Peng, and Ning Hao of the photography group will have works to shoot next year, and our task next year is still arduous, and I hope everyone will grit their teeth and fight for a year. Wang Meng continued.

It just so happened that Wang Meng took this opportunity to talk about the direction of next year and be prepared.

"As for the acquisition of websites and newspapers and weekly magazines, I will contact Marvel, and after the release of "You at the Same Table", we will have a comprehensive discussion meeting, now I will talk about it first, you can prepare. At the end of the year, we have to make a series of plans and not fight uncertain battles. ”

Wang Meng said again.

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.

An unfulfilled memory is over.

Three days later, Wang Meng and his party rushed to Taipei......
