Chapter 118: He's a promising actor

In the post-production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Leru strives for excellence as if shooting. This film carries his ambitions, his ambitions for various awards. With references to the original and a lot of effort spent on filming, post-production was relatively easy.

Not long after returning from my hometown, the film came out.

The film was completed, but the list of nominees for this year's Golden Dragon Awards came out.

did not surprise Zhang Le, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" hung a duck egg and did not have any nominations. However, Zhang Le himself has a nomination, and the demand is still very high.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in "No Way Back". And there is no way back, in addition to the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, there is also Best Action Design, Best Screenplay. Counting it, Zhang Le's Best Supporting Actor nomination is heavier.

"Wouldn't it be ironic if you won this award?" Yang Xin'er asked with a smile.

"Why do you ask?" Zhang Le asked suspiciously.

"You won two Golden Dragon Awards, but they were both Best Original Movie Song. It should be said that this is a musical award, not a movie. You're a director, and "Crazy Stone" was nominated for several important awards, only to come home empty-handed. But don't you think it's ironic that the first film award you won now was Best Supporting Actor? Even if it is a film technology award, it is better than this acting award! Yang Xin'er smiled and said.

"When you say that, it seems to be the same." Zhang Le was stunned for a moment, and then said.

Don't really say it, I heard Yang Xin'er say this. He seemed to be looking forward to not winning this award.

Looking forward to not winning this award, maybe Zhang Le is the first filmmaker who doesn't want to win the Golden Dragon Award. The Golden Dragon Award, after all, is the highest award for Chinese films.

"Hehe, cameos don't count, your first time in a movie role, if you win the Best Supporting Actor award, will those media be like everyone else, write: He is a promising actor." Yang Xin'er teased with a smile.

An actor with a very premise?

Zhang Le smiled and said, "That is, when the movie was released, didn't some media say that I would become a new generation of kung fu superstars?" Still, how do I feel like you're gloating! ”

"Why! I'm happy for you. Nominated for the Golden Dragon Award, this is something that many actors dream of. Yang Xin'er said with a smile.

"Young man, win Best Supporting Actor, you are qualified to play with the Umbra." Yang Xin'er patted Zhang Le's shoulder and said in an old-fashioned tone.

"You say, if I am nominated for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" again, or even win Best Supporting Actor, will someone invite me to play a role?" Zhang Le shook his head and asked with a smile.

"Oh!" Yang Xin'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Apart from Miss Ben, who is still worthy of your director Zhang Da's play?" However, if you really won two Best Supporting Actor in a row, it is estimated that many actors will say that you are stealing their jobs. ”

Yang Xin'er knows Zhang Le's temperament, and in addition to returning Zhou Run's favors, he took "No Way Back" to a large extent because he wanted to learn something from Director Chen.

Now that the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been completed, Zhang Le's level of director has changed qualitatively, and there is no need to learn as before. Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhang Le doesn't need to study. It's just that the way of learning is different. If you still observe other directors, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing.

There is no great director who does not have his own style.

What's more, after Zhang Le finished filming "No Way Back", he said that he would not take on actors' scenes again, unless he directed it himself.

As a director, when working with other directors as an actor, I am afraid it will inevitably be awkward. And this kind of awkwardness is unpleasant for any director.

Directors have a natural desire to control movies. When there are different opinions from the directors who cooperate with them, they still have to shoot and act according to the other party's opinions. You can imagine what that taste like.

"Did you plan to shoot "Kung Fu" before the next movie was made, or did you give me that some time ago?" Yang Xin'er suddenly asked.

"I asked people to sign up for this year's Cannes Film Festival. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" I plan to premiere in Cannes. Zhang Le said, "If the international response of this film is okay, "Kung Fu" will be slow, and we will shoot the scene that was given to you before." ”

"Looks like you're really going on the international route?" Yang Xin'er smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what you said before?" ”

"What did I say?" Zhang Le asked suspiciously.

"If you take too big a step, it's easy to talk nonsense!" Yang Xin'er laughed and said. Then he teased Zhang Le's lower body with his hand.

When Zhang Le heard this, his forehead was suddenly covered with black lines.

"Okay, no kidding you. I'm sure you can do it! What's more, we are all young and not afraid of failure. Yang Xin'er said seriously.

"You're right. We are young, and failure can come again! Zhang Le nodded.

Yang Xin'er has no confidence, and he actually doesn't have much confidence. Although he doesn't think that his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is worse than the original, and even better in terms of details, at least there are no goofs.

But after all, the world is different, and the timing is different. Who can guarantee that they will not come across something better and more attractive to the jury?

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is definitely an amazing movie, and although many people don't like it, it is definitely a work that should not be ignored in film history.

Zhang Le doesn't plan to make such a film again, it's too tiring and too torturous. Even, Zhang Le has no confidence to make a better movie than it.

Of course, it is not difficult to shoot a box office that surpasses it. But many times, movies are not measurable at the box office.

At the beginning of March, the Golden Dragon Award arrived as scheduled. Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er joined hands to participate.

"Director Zhang, how do you feel about this nomination for Best Supporting Actor? Do you have the confidence to take it? Many people say that you will become a new generation of kung fu superstars, do you have any intention of making kung fu movies or action movies? ”

"Director Zhang, when will your new film be released? What is the expected box office? ”

"Director Zhang, when will you release a new song, do you have any plans to make an album for Miss Yang Xin'er this year, and do you two have any plans to hold a concert?"

"Director Zhang"

Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er walked on the red carpet, and many media on the side were overwhelmingly asking questions, if it weren't for the guardrails, I am afraid they would have been surrounded a long time ago.

Zhang Le immersed himself in the production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" during this time, and rarely appeared in front of the media. And "Where Has Time Gone" he sang on the Spring Festival Gala is still hot, and the nomination for Best Supporting Actor adds to the fire. Nowadays, too many media outlets want to interview but can't.

Zhang Le smiled and waved his hand, allowing those media to ask, but did not answer. It's not that there are too many questions and I don't know which one to answer, but if I stop and answer reporters' questions, it's obviously inappropriate. After all, it was on the red carpet, not his press conference.

"Ah, this way!"

As soon as Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er entered the venue, Chen Ke beckoned him over and asked, "I heard that the post-production of your new film has been completed?" When are you going to release it, and are you planning to have a premiere or something this time? ”

"It is planned to be released in the summer of this year, and as for the premiere or something, there are no plans yet." Zhang Le smiled and said, "It shouldn't collide with Director Chen's new film, right?" ”
