Chapter 245 Scene 245 Attend the Academy Awards
Looking at Lan Xiaolong's sluggish and angry appearance, Li Xiaole felt extremely satisfied, patted him lightly on the shoulder, turned his head and said to everyone, "Stop!" The start-up ceremony is over, and the meal is open~! ”
With such a sentence, a group of actors on the ground immediately bounced, laughed and made a fuss, one by one holding wine bottles, grabbing barbecue, and returning to the previous loose state.
The soldiers like Lan Xiaolong were confused again, and they were all wondering in their hearts, who are these people!?
The profession of an actor is really terrible......
Different from the monotonous life in the barracks, the shijie in the outside world is constantly changing, almost the outbreak of the US war against Iraq, the whole shijie media overwhelmingly put the photos of Saddam Hussein and Bush as the front page, no one noticed that the "Soldier Assault" crew in the field military region finally started official filming, this is a "real" play, each actor is carrying a heavy real gun, wearing big boots to practice, exposed to the sun all day long, all black like ghosts, Everyone can tear off a piece of skin the size of a palm on their back as a souvenir.
The big guys' days in the military camp are not much better than those in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, if it weren't for Li Xiaole taking them to train in advance, I really don't know if the actors would have survived.
Even Li Xiaole felt that "Soldier Assault" was the easiest and most difficult scene he filmed on Jishu.
Xu Sanduo was in the Seventh Company of Steel, gritted his teeth and turned over more than 100 single rods, Wang Baoqiang didn't use a stand-in in that scene, he did it completely by himself, after the filming, Wang Baoqiang kept vomiting like Xu Sanduo in the script, everyone took his hand and looked at it, he didn't know that there was a piece of meat missing on his thumb. Even Wen Zhang and Tweezers, who usually pay great attention to their image, are also deadly, even Lan Xiaolong calls them crazy, all the dangerous action scenes in the film, he not only wants to come to the real thing, but also to come a few more times, and he must shoot until he is satisfied.
In a few fight scenes, they went into battle in person, and even Li Xiaole couldn't look past it when they reached Zuihou, so they acted as stand-ins for several actors, otherwise he really couldn't guarantee that these people would not have lost arms and legs after filming.
In such a shooting situation, Li Xiaole, who was nominated for the "Best Asian Film" at the Academy Awards, originally did not go to the Hong Kong Film Awards, because he was afraid of affecting the filming and wanted to cancel the event.
However, Han Sanpin called to inform him that the field military region was responsible for the change of guard of the Hong Kong garrison, and on the day of the award, there was a direct plane from the military region, which could be used as a hitchhiker, and he could return the next day, and asked him to cooperate with the propaganda work of the China Film Group in Hong Kong.
So Li Xiaole had no choice but to do so, in order to make himself not seem so lonely, of course he pulled Sun Li, who had the most relationship with him among the actors of "Crazy Stone".
"Director Li, what am I wearing, I haven't walked the red carpet, you weishenme told me to go, I don't look good, I can't be a vase, too, I'm the only woman in our "Stone" drama...... I'm not going, who's going to go. Sun Li, who heard the news on the set, nervously spoke incoherently.
While she and the prop master were frantically looking for evening dresses, Li Xiaole had already changed into a set of spiritual stand-up collar tunics, and after the stylist trimmed his hairstyle, he looked energetic and good-looking, which made everyone on the set who were used to seeing Director Li wearing wide clothes and shrinking on the bench all discussed, and they all felt that this little director seemed to have the potential to become an idol star.
"I didn't expect Director Li to look so chic in formal clothes, and he usually looks like a child." "Yes, the main thing is that he has a good temperament, a bit of a director's college style, and a bit of a military feeling, and it's quite masculine." "If he usually dresses up more carefully, I'm afraid I don't know how many little girls will be killed."
Sun Li finally picked out a black evening dress from the stylist, put it on, walked over and asked Li Xiaole worriedly, "How is it?" Twisting her waist and adjusting the zipper behind her, she turned her head back, revealing a small corner of snow-white breast muscles from the V-neckline, and her snow-white slender legs under the skirt were slender, exuding a youthful and clear charm.
"I don't think it's good...... Li Xiaole frowned and said: "Use this set to choose Miss Hong Kong, I think I can only get second......"
"Director Li~~~ Can you be serious." Sun Li was a little speechless by Li Xiaole's big gasp.
"It's beautiful, really." Li Xiaole looked at her sincerely and praised her, stretching out his thumb.
"You always lie to me, I don't believe you......" Sun Li curled her mouth, but her tears showed a happy look.
Because the filming was really hard, the two people in costume sat on the plane of the field military region to change their guard in Hong Kong, and they fell asleep almost from beginning to end, and they were not woken up until they got off the plane.
Night falls in Hong Kong, at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, the annual Chinese film event, the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony begins.
Although the Academy Awards are film awards selected by professionals, and films are rarely judged by commercial standards, this Academy Awards is indeed a real "blockbuster year".
"Hero" and "Infernal Affairs", two works that have been hailed as milestones in Chinese films, appeared in the same year, which made filmmakers extremely excited.
You must know that this year, director Chen Kexin's "Three Watches: Coming Home" was selected for a total of 11 nominations, which is already a super strong film in other years, but compared with "Hero", which was selected for 14 nominations, and "Infernal Affairs", which was selected for 16 out of a total of 18 nominations, and "Infernal Affairs", which was recorded by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it is a small thing.
The Academy Awards has always been a festival for Hong Kong filmmakers, and the guests who attended were dressed up very grandly, but the difference this time is that many people, including Karen Mok, who was in the limelight on the red carpet, sat in the audience wearing masks.
Before entering the awards hall, Li Xiaole and Sun Li were in front of the Haode photography background board and under the flash lights of the reporters for people to take pictures, and then they had a chat with Kim Nam, who had not seen him for a long time, on behalf of the Korean Film Association "Color is Empty", and then he saw Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei and others......
When the photo shoot was done, he was pressed against the microphones of many reporters and forced to answer some questions: "Of course I hope to win the award, but the nomination is already an affirmation of "Crazy Stone." ”
An obscene-looking male reporter asked in Cantonese Mandarin: "Director Li, some people say that you have actually taken a Korean passport and are no longer Chinese, are you going to make Korean films or Chinese films in the future?"
Looking at the 7 or 8 reporters who were all interested, Li Xiaole was certainly not fooled, and said with a smile: "Of course I am Chinese, as for what to shoot, I can only say that it is a movie, and there are no Korean films and Chinese films in these works on TV, everyone can cooperate, and I may cooperate with Americans in the future." ”
The reporter who was about to stir up trouble bypassed him after seeing a Tai Chi meal, and was unwilling to ask a question, Zhang Rongguo, who was wearing a white suit, stood not far away, walked over and smiled at the reporters: "I'm sorry, I still have something to do with Director Li, please let me take him away~"
This Hong Kong actor, known as "brother", is an enthusiastic person produced in the entertainment industry, and he likes to support juniors and help newcomers very much, which is recognized in the industry, even the four heavenly kings have to call "brother" respectfully when they look at Zhang Guorong, how dare these little reporters speak.
"Director Li, we can finally talk, the "Crazy Stone" you filmed is really funny, I laughed so much that my stomach hurts." Zhang Guorong wore his signature faint smile, and he didn't seem to see the slightest shadow of depression, but Li Xiaole knew that he was the kind of person who would face it alone no matter how painful he was.
"Brother, you won the award, how did you think about what I asked Producer Lei to tell you?" When Li Xiaole saw Zhang Guorong himself for the first time, he still felt a little nervous, looking at this peerless actor, he was worried that he would not want to jump off the building.
"I also have to think about it, I've been doing a lot lately, and besides, you should show me the script first, are you right?" Zhang Guorong smiled softly and did not answer directly.
Li Xiaole was really moved, he didn't know that Zhang Guorong weishenme committed suicide, but it must be something that couldn't be passed, in this case, he wanted Lei Ting to stalk, Zhang Guorong should be angry according to reason, but he still took care of himself, this elegant mind is really like a spring breeze, the word "brother", Li Xiaole also felt logical when he called out, and he didn't feel any flesh and blood at all.
"I'll give you the script within half a month, I promise you will definitely be satisfied, this role belongs to you, brother, I really need you to play him." Li Xiaole grabbed Zhang Guorong's shoulder, for fear that he would not be able to think of it and suddenly do something stupid again.
The intimate behavior of the two finally attracted the attention of reporters, it seems that Zhang Guorong has a relationship with this little mainland director? They all walked over with their cameras in their hands.
Li Xiaole and Zhang Guorong exchanged glances with a tacit understanding, which meant "talk later" and then walked into the award hall from different entrances, without giving reporters a chance to figure out right and wrong.
The auditorium of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre is decorated with fancy and lively decorations, with lights of various colors flashing alternately from time to time, and the seats are full, with fans in the back, and in front of them are the guests in attendance, Lau Tak Wah, Hung Jinbao, Huang Qiusheng, Koo Tianle, Chen Yixun......
and so on or have award nominations or not, celebrities; Li Xiaole sat with Sun Li on behalf of actors Zhang Guorong, Lin Jiaxin, and director Luo Zhiliang on behalf of "Crazy Stone" and "Different Space"; Not far away is Liang Chaowei of the "Infernal Affairs" crew and his girlfriend Liu Jialin and others.
Now that all the stars of Hong Kong are gathered, Li Xiaole looked at the people around him who could only be seen in the videotapes when he was a child, and he couldn't help but be excited, he never thought that he could sit at the Academy Awards with the most glorious golden generation of Chinese films, and today he is also one of the protagonists......
