247【The 11th Golden Horse Awards】
When Wang Zijun returned from the United States, several of Wang's company's dramas were about to be completed and entered the later stage of intense and busy.
At the same time, the shortlist of Taiwan's 11th Golden Horse Awards has also been announced, Wang Zijun's "If the Wine Sells Nothing" won seven nominations including Best Director and Best Screenplay, and Wang's other "Happy Hour" was also nominated for Best Cinematography.
"Happy Hour" is a small budget with an investment of less than one million Taiwan dollars, and the film tells the story of a group of teenagers growing up, which was made by a young director named Meng Zongnan of Wang's company with a few young photographers. At the beginning of the year, kung fu films were in charge, and no one cared about this kind of literary film, and after it was filmed, it was released for a day, and there were few audiences, and there was no return for it.
What is laughable is that this movie actually made the judges of the Golden Horse Awards like it very much.
"Okay, spin it upside down in the air and slap it out with one palm. The pyrotechnic master should pay attention not to bury too much explosives at the explosion point. "In the mountains and forests near Linkou Wang's Cinema, the crew of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is filming a set of scenes of chasing and fighting.
This set of shots is dominated by Boss Gao played by Ding Pei, but those high-rise shots are stand-ins made by Yuan Qiulai.
"Boom" In order to be realistic, the time was directly pinched during shooting, Ding Pei landed on the ground, and Yuan Qiu then flew up under the traction of coercion, and a palm was pushed out in the air, and a burst of smoke exploded in the distance.
This may seem silly to many people in later generations, but the current audience has never seen it.
It's a pity that the explosion time was faster by more than a few dozen seconds, and Yuan Qiu exploded before he could make a palm.
"Repeat the card." Jung Tae shouted.
"Director, I can watch it, just edit it directly after filming." A photographer dissuaded.
The pyrotechnic engineer also said: "Director, this bombing is all money, I'm afraid the budget is not enough." ”
Zheng Tai scratched his forehead and said, "Do it again, if it doesn't work, just edit." ”
Yuan Qiu had to hang it again.
"Hey, isn't that Brother Wang?" Yu Sally pointed into the distance.
Zhao Yazhi and Ding Pei looked at it, but it was Wang Zijun and a group of prop masters who took a group of coolies to move props to the river beach on the other side of the mountain.
There are only narrow paths in this mountain forest, and trucks cannot enter, so they can only be operated manually.
Wang Zijun is also helpless, it's only the end of November now, where to find the peach blossoms that bloom in advance? The only way to find someone to make petals out of red velvet and sew them little by little and put them on the tree. Even the branches of the huge peach tree were made of props.
He just got Han Yucheng, and now Lao Han is busy buying theaters, and he is personally running around the layout of the scene of "Unparalleled in the World".
When they arrived at their destination, everyone quickly took action. First dug a big pit, then assembled the tall prop peach tree one by one, and then planted the peach blossom branches made of pink velvet one by one.
I had been doing these procedures for almost a whole day, and from a distance, a tall peach tree stood there, almost unrealistic.
Before they finished it, Zhao Yazhi's side had already finished, and several women came over to take a look, and Yu Sally said in surprise: "Look, there are peach blossoms blooming over there." ”
"Is it really a peach blossom?" Ding Pei was puzzled, "It's so cold now, where did the peach blossoms come from." ”
When they got closer and saw what the staff were doing on the peach tree, the three girls suddenly reflected that this was a prop.
"It's so pretty, and there's fluff on it." Zhao Yazhi touched the petals of the "peach blossom", and said that she was going to get some down to take a look.
Wang Zijun hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, three aunts and grandmothers, just this peach blossom, I asked more than ten craftsmen to sew it for a whole month, and the labor cost cost tens of thousands." ”
Zhao Yazhi stuck out her tongue and said: "You are really generous, Hong Kong directors make movies, and every penny has to be broken in half." ”…,
Wang Zijun smiled: "If you can do better, why not do a little better." ”
Wang Zijun thought to himself, what is his point, Xie Jin and Jiang Wen, the master and apprentice, is that luxury, one dismantles the entire tower in the town and rebuilds it elsewhere, and the other directly uses the plane to fly the soil.
How many movies can be made in a "Titanic".
Gao Song, the leader of the props group, said with a smile: "Three big stars, there are still a few left, if you like it, you can play with it." ”
Ding Pei and Yu Sally took one of them, saying that they wanted to take it back and insert it into the bottle for decoration.
Zhao Yazhi also carefully picked a branch, and teased: "It's still the senior team leader who is more generous, unlike some people who are stingy." ”
Wang Zijun couldn't cry or laugh, as if the two had known each other since Zhao Yazhi liked to quarrel with him.
Where are you in my impression of the good wife and mother, the gentle, beautiful and generous Zhao Yazhi?
"Say whatever you want. A while ago, you complained that I sent you to Hong Kong, how is it now? Wang Zijun said with a smile.
Zhao Yazhi's face was embarrassed, "Under the Lion Rock" was broadcast on TVB last week, and it was not prime time, and the result quickly caused a sensation. At the request of many citizens in letters, the first episode of "Under the Lion Rock" was broadcast three times in a week. The main actors in the TV film quickly became familiar and liked by the Hong Kong people.
Most of the people who went to Hong Kong fled to the past, and everyone lived a hard life, and when they were poor, they even had to grab rancid water. The content of "Under the Lion Rock" is based on true deeds, and the interpretation is the hard life of Hong Kong back then, which has made life better now, but Hong Kong citizens who have just experienced the stock market crash are very touched.
What happened in the TV film, as if they had experienced it themselves, resonated like never before.
Zhao Yazhi is well-known in Hong Kong because of "Shanghai Tang", when it was just a star, as soon as "Under the Lion Rock" was broadcast, Zhao Yazhi suddenly became the own person of Hong Kong citizens. It's like a neighbor, it's like a sister, it's like a daughter......
After the important scene of the peach blossom tree was arranged, everyone covered it with a piece of plastic sheeting, for fear of experiencing wind and rain.
As for others, such as horses, swords and other props, Bai Muyang has already prepared them, and the scene in Meilong Town was filmed in the garden of Wang's Cinema, but the palace must be set with props, and the effect of filming is more frustrating.
Everything was ready, and some actors did not arrive because of other scenes, so Wang Zijun began to jump and shoot, and it took two days to shoot the scenes in the reeds.
At this time, the 11th Golden Horse Awards ceremony was also held in the studio hall of China Television, Wang Zijun threw the guide tube and took it to the China Television building.
Through the joint efforts of Taiwan's authorities and non-governmental organizations, the scale and influence of this year's Golden Horse Awards have been greatly enhanced.
"Xiao Wang, I heard that you and Han Yucheng are making a mess of acquiring theaters." Mei Changling saw Wang Zijun and said casually with a smile.
At this time, Wang Zijun and Han Yucheng's acquisition plan had just begun, but they didn't expect Mei Changling to hear the movement.
"Don't you feel that the distribution is inconvenient, so I want to do it myself." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
This Boss Mei is a big figure in Taiwan's film and television industry, not only a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, but also the director of the China Manufacturing Factory, and now the general manager of the China Film Company. Many Taiwanese movies have a symbol of producer Mei Changling, just like Han Sanping and Uncle Han in the mainland in later generations.
Mei Changling smiled: "The young man has a future. ”
Wang Zijun echoed and smiled.
Soon the entrance ceremony will begin, and this year's Golden Horse Awards keep pace with the times and even flutter the red carpet. As a director of Taiwan's infinite scenery, Wang Zijun is one of the first few people to enter. …,
And the female companion arranged for him by the Golden Horse Award preparatory team is an acquaintance - Gui Yalei.
On the screen of later generations, Wang Zijun saw the outfit of Mrs. Gui Yalei, and now he finally saw what he looked like when he was young.
A white dress that looks sexy with a fresh smell.
Compared with the seriousness, Wang Zijun admires the female stars of this era more, and the famous beauties are pleasing to the eye. It's not that the women of this era are more beautiful than later generations, it's purely a matter of Wang Zijun's aesthetic perspective.
The makeup techniques of this era are more backward than those of later generations, but they appear natural and generous. Wang Zijun very much dislikes the style of rubbing a thick foundation on his face and growing false eyelashes that can trap mosquitoes.
"Miss Gui is beautiful tonight." Wang Zijun exclaimed.
"Old woman." Gui Yalei smiled, "Director Wang's charm is amazing, you look at the few actresses over there, their eyes are about to kill me." ”
Gui Yalei is ten years older than Wang Zijun, retired because of giving birth to a child a few years ago, and came back after the birth of her daughter. Although her role was well received, the current society has a lot of discussion about her behavior of getting married and appearing in the entertainment industry. couldn't stand the pressure, Gui Yalei announced her retirement after last year, and this time she came because the movie she made before her retirement was nominated.
Wang Zijun said: "When is Miss Gui going to return to acting?" ”
Gui Yalei thought that Wang Zijun was sarcastic for her disobedience, her face darkened, and she smiled reluctantly: "Let's talk about it when the child grows up, it's good to teach her husband and children at home now." ”
Wang Zijun saw that her face was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Miss Gui, don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else." Actually, I think it's good for women to have their own careers, and it's so boring to stay at home all day. ”
Gui Yalei also sighed in her heart, yes, now she still has children with her, and she won't suffocate her daughter to death when she enters school in a few years?
Wang Zijun took the opportunity to say: "If Miss Gui has plans to make a comeback, the Wang family is welcome at any time." ”
Gui Yalei smiled at this time, it turned out that Wang Zijun was planning to do so.
Gui Yalei used to be a member of Li Hanxiang's Guolian Film Company, but now she is a freelance actress, and she is very famous, and many film companies are staring at her.
Before Gui Yalei could speak, the staff had already urged the two to play.
As soon as Wang Zijun walked on the red carpet with Gui Yalei in his arms, he immediately murdered countless films, which were placed in various POSS for reporters to take pictures on the way.
"Director Wang, I heard that you are about to shoot a new drama in person, can you reveal specific information?"
"All I can tell you now is that this is a Chinese New Year comedy that will be screened during the Spring Festival."
"What is a Chinese New Year card?"
"It's a film specially designed to celebrate the New Year, just to bring joy to everyone, and artistry is secondary."
"In other words, you won't make fans cry red eyes here?"
"Perhaps, everyone will laugh bad this time."
