It turned out that after Wang Xiaoshuai was approved for release of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" in September, he took the version he directed and sent it to Treasure Island to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

Everyone didn't have much expectations, but they didn't expect that the Golden Horse Award jury didn't know if it was for the purpose of easing the ********, in addition to making "Sunny Day" shortlisted, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was also shortlisted.

At this time, although the ******** was slightly nervous because of the return of Xiangjiang, the normal cultural exchange was not hindered, and a group of main creators of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", Lu Chong, Wang Xiaoshuai, Liu Ye, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Liu Jie and others transferred to Xiangjiang and flew to the capital of Treasure Island.

Baodao's Golden Horse Award and Xiangjiang's Golden Image Awards, the mainland's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award are listed as the three major awards for Chinese films, in this period of 96 years, the Golden Horse Awards have not withered as much as later generations, and it has become the supreme honor in the Chinese entertainment industry to win both the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Image Award, and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" also needs to get some proof.

However, when Lu Chong heard that "Sunny Days" was shortlisted at the same time, he sighed deeply, he really didn't expect it at the time, if he had thought of it earlier, he would have persuaded Wang Xiaoshuai to put this film back for a year before participating.

He said to Wang Xiaoshuai: "Xiaoshuai, let's not expect much, let's go to Treasure Island for a trip!" ”

This shortlisting gave Wang Xiaoshuai a lot of confidence, and he always felt that he could get one or two awards back to prove his ability.

At the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, the stars were glittering, the Four Heavenly Kings, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhang Guorong, Jiang Wen, Ning Jing, Shu Qi, Xia Yu all came, Lu Chong, Wang Xiaoshuai, Liu Ye, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and others all dressed up to attend, although Lu Chong knew that it would not be a good result, but this is a grand event in the Chinese entertainment industry, and it must appear in full spirit.

Lu Chong really wanted to come forward and get to know the Four Heavenly Kings, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhang Guorong, but he was a complete newcomer in the film industry, and his coffee position was too low to talk to others at all, so he sat silently in his place.

He is a bit popular in the mainland, and when he comes to Treasure Island, he basically has no popularity at all, and the "I Love You China" he sang on CCTV was basically not broadcast on Treasure Island and Xiangjiang, Liu Tianwang, Zhang Tianwang, Guo Tianwang, Zhang Guorong and other big names would rather play mahjong together in a group of people than watch the mainland party, so they have no impression of Lu Chong.

Ning Jing, Xia Yu, and Gu Changwei knew Lu Chong, and nodded and smiled at Lu Chong.

Jiang Wen, with a straight face, didn't look at Lu Chong from beginning to end.

Lu Chong knew that Jiang Wen had always been serious, so he didn't take it to heart.

What made Lu Chong quite pleased was that Li Lianjie came over, patted Lu Chong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lu Chong, your song is so good, it made me cry!" Come on, I'm optimistic about you! ”

Li Lianjie began to wander internationally when he was a teenager, and he can be regarded as a wanderer, and his feelings towards the motherland are somewhat complicated, but he also loves the motherland deeply.

Lu Chong admired this kung fu emperor very much and wanted to cooperate with the other party, but he also knew that his current coffee position was too low and he was not worthy of cooperating with others at all, so he could only nod his head and thank him.

However, he is very confident in himself, within three years, his coffee position will rise sharply, and he will play the leading role in a big-budget movie, and a big name like Li Lianjie can only play a supporting role.

Li Tianwang, who had developed from Beiping to Xiangjiang, seemed to know Lu Chong, and nodded and smiled at Lu Chong.

Cheng Long has been willing to cooperate with the mainland over the years, has a better understanding of the mainland market, and also greeted Lu Chong with a smile.

Lu Chong's originally nervous heart calmed down when he felt the kind smiles of the big guys, anyway, he came to see the world today, it doesn't matter.

At the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in 96, there was no Sister Chiling in the host, bad reviews!

Lu Chong suddenly remembered why there is no Sister Zhiling, because Sister Zhiling seems to be still studying in Canada and has not yet entered the entertainment industry.

After one award after another, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was indeed shortlisted for some awards, but the result.

Best Feature Film, the winner was "Sunny Day", "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was shortlisted, accompanied.

The best director is Jiang Wen of "Sunny Days", Wang Xiaoshuai was shortlisted and ran with him.

The best cinematography is Gu Changwei of "Sunny Day", and Liu Jie, the photographer of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", was shortlisted and accompanied.

The best adapted screenplay is Jiang Wen of "Sunny Days", and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is not adapted from a novel.

The best sound effect is Gu Changwei of "Sunny Day", and the sound effect of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was not shortlisted at all.

In addition, "Sunny Day" was also nominated for the Best Actress Award (Ning Jing) and the Best Editing Award (Zhou Ying).

"Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" met "Sunny Day", which can be described as a complete failure.

However, "Sunny Day" is a bit of a win, its shooting cost is nearly 20 million, which is 10 times that of "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", in addition, it was filmed in 93 and released in 95, but it will be placed at the end of 96 to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

The host said kindly: "Originally, "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" was remarkable, with many highlights, but compared with "Sunny Day", it was a little worse, as the saying goes, both Shengyu and He Shengliang ......"

Wang Xiaoshuai looked frustrated, although he admitted that "Sunny Day" was better than "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", but he was crushed like this, and he had no gain at all, and he was extremely depressed.

The faces of the rest of the crew were not good, although they had been vaccinated before, but deep down in their hearts they were still a little lucky, thinking that they could always get an award, but they didn't expect that there would be no awards.

Lu Chong is light-hearted, after all, it is already an unexpected joy to be shortlisted, not to mention the box office, Lu Chong used 2 million investment to get a box office of 50 million, and earned 13 million.

Jiang Wen, the box office of "Sunny Days" also has 50 million, but he invested 2.5 million US dollars, which was equivalent to 20 million yuan at that time, according to the producer's share, Jiang Wen only got back 15 million, and the whole film lost 5 million, which is still a conservative estimate, not a conservative estimate, a loss of 10 million.

Why does "Sunny Day" lose so much, the reason is very simple, Jiang Wen cares too much about the effect when filming, ignores the cost, and makes a youth film, actually using 250,000 feet of film, with a film ratio of 1:15, the average film ratio of domestic films at that time was 1:3, in order to achieve the ideal picture effect, he repainted Ma Xiaojun's chimney entirely, so that the chimney of Prince Gong's Mansion was still half red and half gray later; The director of production arranged 500 extras according to the list under the crew, but Jiang Wen was able to blow people away, paid but did not shoot, so after tossing, the film was indeed shot well, but the cost remained high.

To tell the truth, Lu Chong, as the boss, his first consideration is whether to make money or not, he will support Feng Xiaogang, and even partially support Zhang Yimou, but Jiang Wen and Chen Kaige, while going cool, the master doesn't have so much money to make you miserable, you still have to find those people who have money and believe in fame and maybe even money laundering to invest.

It was the turn to award the best actor, and in order to avoid too much psychological gap between everyone, Lu Chong said to Liu Ye: "Let's not think about it too much, this year's actor should be Xia Yu, the star of "Sunny Days". ”

Unexpectedly, the result surprised them. (To be continued.) )
