346 [Golden Globe Award Nomination]
After having dinner at Cai's house, Wang Zijun stayed with Cai Anqian, a little girl, for two or three hours before fleeing under the pretext that something happened the next day.
Back at the hotel, Wang Zijun immediately contacted Liu Jiachang and handed over the matter of finding Singaporean actors to him. At this time, there are very few domestic actors in Singapore, but there are not a few Singaporean artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Leaving this matter to Wang's Entertainment Agency can be regarded as the company's first business, and at the same time, it can also exercise their operational ability.
The next morning, the dance team of the concert finally came. The dance team is divided into three teams, one is all men, one is all women, and one is all children.
"Boss, we're all set." The Zhang Renyong brothers came over with someone and said respectfully. After the two brothers went to Japan, because Wang Zijun was looking for someone to help, they were dancing for some little stars at first, and then gradually became famous, and they also accepted a few apprentices.
"According to our arrangement, take someone to the site first." Wang Zijun patted Zhang Renyong on the shoulder, then handed over all the trivial matters to the assistant director, and ran to rest by himself.
Wang Zijun came to the audience under the theater stage, took out a pen and paper and began to design the characters and costumes in "The Legend of the New White Lady". said that it was a design, but in fact, it was more painted according to the appearance of the white lady Xu Xian in his memory.
These costumes must be made to order and must be arranged in advance.
"Big brother, are you painting?". Suddenly, there was a child's voice beside me.
Wang Zijun looked up, but it was a little girl about ten years old, looking at the design in his hand with wide eyes, and said, "This sister is so beautiful." ”
The little girl spoke in Teochew, and Wang Zijun could probably hear what it meant, and asked, "Can you speak Chinese?" ”。
The girl said in a straight voice.
"***, why are you playing here?" Wang Zijun asked.
The little girl said, "Today is a school holiday, my dad works here, so I'll come here." Big brother, are you the star brother who acted in the movie? I've seen movies, and I'm going to be an actor when I grow up. ”
"Haha," Wang Zijun said with a smile, "Okay, when you grow up, I'll ask you to make a movie." What's your name? ”
"My name is Chen Liping." The little girl replied.
Chen Liping? Why is this name so familiar?
Wang Zijun looked at this little girl carefully for a long time, thinking that she should be the first beauty in Singapore in the 80s, Chen Liping. The face is round, and the lips are thick, but it is somewhat similar.
"***, don't you want to be an actor? Shall I ask you to act now? Wang Zijun suddenly thought of a role, the juvenile role of Li Bilian (Xu Shilin's cousin) in "The Legend of the New White Lady", which is just right for her.
There are very few scenes in this role, Wang Zijun originally wanted Xiao Wang Zuxian to play it, but now it is not bad for Chen Liping. Cai Shengyi requires that half of the actors in Singapore in the play must be reached, and this little girl can be used to fill up a number.
"Okay, okay, I'm good at acting, and I can dance." Chen Liping said happily that her father was an employee of the theater, and the little girl ran here when she was fine, and she learned a lot of things under the influence of her ears and eyes.
The staff was testing the lighting and sound system at the scene, and Wang Zijun asked the little girl to take herself to her father.
Chen Liping's father was just an ordinary employee, and when he heard that Wang Zijun wanted to ask his daughter to act, he immediately agreed, but he knew Wang Zijun's name.
………………………………
When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I received a call from Bai Muyang not long after>. As soon as Wang Zijun picked up the microphone and put it to his ear, he heard him roar excitedly: "Boss, the Golden Globe Award nominations have been announced, and your "Ghost Love" has won five nominations."
Nominations for the Golden Globes are usually announced before Christmas, but at this time, the Golden Globes still announce the list of nominees in March and hold an awards party in early April.
Just a few hours ago, the list of nominees for this year's Golden Globe Awards was announced, which immediately caused quite a stir, and "Ghost Love" won five nominations in one fell swoop: Best Film (Drama), Best Director, Best Actress (Drama), Best Supporting Actress (Drama), and Best Screenplay.
It's crazy on the Hollywood side right now, although most people agree with the film and guess that it might win an award. But after actually seeing the list of nominees, the Yankees were still a little surprised. In any case, Wang Zijun is a Chinese, before that, which Chinese can be nominated for Hollywood film awards, and there are five. ,
As soon as the list was announced, some racially inclined people began to protest, claiming that the Golden Globe voting was unfair. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association immediately issued a statement, saying that the selection of the Golden Globe Awards was transparent and fair, and the voting for this year's Golden Globe Awards was completely normal. "Christian Science Monitor" also came out to join in the fun, saying that although the director of the movie "People and Ghosts" is Chinese, the religious view of heaven and hell in the film is completely in line with the views of Westerners, and both the plot, special effects, and music are very perfect, and it is normal to receive five nominations.
A few days after the Golden Globe Awards were awarded, the Oscars were awarded, so the Golden Globes were regarded as the vane of the Oscars, and Wang Zijun was able to get five nominations at the Golden Globes, and suddenly became a popular dark horse for the Oscars.
Hollywood, Frank has begun to make a big fuss about this nomination, hoping to expand the popularity of the company and Wang Zijun. He contacted Wang Zijun as soon as possible, but he couldn't find anyone at all, so he could only call > inform Bai Muyang to tell him.
Wang Zijun said: "Lao Bai, contact the people of the Information Bureau immediately, they should be happy to get such news, and they will automatically help us publicize." When the news heats up, you announce that I'm planning a TV series and a movie. The news of the movie has always maintained a sense of mystery, the name of the TV series is "The Legend of the New White Lady", which is a joint production between Wang's Film Company and Singapore Radio and Television, starring Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia plays Xu Xian, Zhao Yazhi plays Bai Suzhen, and I will be the director myself. ”
"Miss Lin> anti-string Xu Xian? That's fine. Bai Muyang was a little dizzy when he heard this.
"You do it, and I'll have someone bring back some modeling drawings in a few days, and you take it to Hong Xiaoqiao and ask her to perfect it, and then take it to my garment factory in Taipei to order, and I want to get the finished product in April." Wang Zijun said.
"Okay." Bai Muyang said that he still didn't understand in his heart, how could he think of letting Lin Qingxia play Xu Xian.
Will Wang Zijun say that this is a pure spoof?
After Bai Muyang hung up the phone and >, he immediately drove to find Qian Fu, director of the Information Bureau of the Executive Yuan.
Qian Fu already knew that he was leaving his post to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at this time, but when he got the news of Bai Muyang, he immediately paid attention to it.
In the whole of Asia, in addition to the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival, the only film award in the United States is the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.
Now that Wang Zijun's film has won five nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, whether it can win the award in the end or not, this is already worth a special mention. Moreover, Wang Zijun's propaganda is on fire, and he also has his achievements in Qian Fu, which shows that he has done a good job.
Qian Fu immediately asked his subordinates to notify the heads of the major media and spread the news. As a result, newspapers of all sizes on the island of Taiwan were busy, and some of them received the news that it was almost midnight, and the editor-in-chief personally chased them to the printing house to demand that the printing be stopped, and Wang Zijun's headline was OK.
………………………………
Early in the morning, Huang Hanzhuo was stretching his muscles in his garden, and the maid came over with a few newspapers: "Sir, today's morning report has arrived." ”
"Put it down." Huang Hanzhuo bent down and finished the last set of actions before he walked over and picked up the newspaper on the stone table, and the big black headline on the headline suddenly stunned.
"The nominations for the 32nd Golden Globe Awards were announced yesterday, and Chinese director Wang Zijun was nominated for five items".
Because there is not much useful information, the article only briefly said that the Golden Globe nominations were announced, and what awards Wang Zijun's film was nominated for, and then used a lot of space to introduce the importance of the Golden Globe Awards, and finally boasted about the brilliant achievements of Taiwan's cultural circles and film industry, and attached a photo of Wang Zijun's formal wear next to it.
"This kid, five of them are all big prizes, and he can really toss." Huang Hanzhuo said to himself, in addition to a little sour in his heart, he thought more of the positive impact brought by Wang Zijun's limelight this time.
The significance of this kind of Hollywood award is not as simple as it seems, Wang Zijun's background as a Taiwanese director will definitely make some industry insiders in other regions pay attention to Chinese films. It's a great time to pitch our films to the outside world.
Huang Hanzhuo wiped his face with a towel, didn't change his clothes, and went directly to the company by car, asked people to rummage through the warehouse, pick out the high-quality products, and prepare to contact filmmakers in Europe, America, and Japan, and take the opportunity to make a good profit.
Huang Hanzhuo is not the only one who has this idea, but even the Hong Kong filmmakers who received the news are busy. Regardless of the outcome, it's a good opportunity anyway, and how much you can sell depends on luck. ,
In Wang's Cinema, Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi were playing rival plays, when suddenly a person ran in from outside, shouting: "Won the award, the boss won the award"
"What are you doing filming, get out of here," the director said angrily.
"The director, the boss won the award, and was nominated for five awards at the Hollywood Golden Globe Awards. Manager Bai asked me to tell everyone to cheer everyone up and make more good movies. The man said, waving a newspaper.
"Five Golden Globe nominations?" The director had an expression of disbelief, snatched the newspaper with his hand, read the contents, immediately held the newspaper high, and read: "The nominations for the 32nd Golden Globe Awards were announced yesterday, and the Chinese director Wang Zijun won five nominations, and everyone applauded and celebrated for the boss."
The crew applauded loudly, and the company's employees applauded the most enthusiastically, and at the same time proudly guessed how Bai Muyang would celebrate this time, it was best to give bonuses or go to a big meal.
Lin Qingxia ran over in surprise, took the newspaper and read it again.
Zhao Yazhi walked over, leaned on Lin Qingxia's body and said, "Our boss Wang is very powerful this time, five awards at once." ”
"yes, I knew he could do it." Lin Qingxia said with a smile, took the newspaper and read it again and again.
