Chapter 246: Scene 246 The best film in Asia

Looking at the Hong Kong artists wearing masks next to him, Li Xiaole remembered the situation of the Academy Awards in his memory, and the famous host of Hong Kong that day, Zeng Zhiwei, said sadly at the beginning:

"When I received the list of nominees on the 16th of last month, I was very excited, because the actors and directors of this year are everyone's favorite and favorite.

But in the past two or three weeks, bad news has been coming, first of all, the war in Iraq, and secondly, the virus invasion of Hong Kong...... Our most haode friend in show business left us ......"

After the speech, it was a rare gathering of the four kings of Hong Kong, who sang the sentence of "The Love of the Year": "Laughing softly, sending warmth to me, you inject happiness and strong electricity into me......" The audience burst into tears.

Fortunately, this time Zeng Zhiwei only said the first two bad news after he appeared, and did not mention Zhang Guorong's death, the four heavenly kings did not appear together to sing "The Love of the Year", and Zhang Guorong's brother was still next to him and turned his head to smile at him, which made Li Xiaole feel very good.

Driven by Zeng Zhiwei's ridicule and nostalgia, the award ceremony was a competition between the two masterpieces "Hero" and "Infernal Affairs" from beginning to end, and almost all the actor awards were won by "Infernal Affairs", and the Jishu Awards were all won by "Hero".

When everyone was tired, it was announced that the award presenter of "Best Asian Film" appeared, which made everyone laugh, and the king of comedy Zhou Xingxing had a cold face as soon as he came on the stage, and announced in the tone of the characters in the movie: "I'm going to award two awards that rob us of our jobs, but I want to say to the organizing committee ~ Award ~~~ That's not how it was awarded!" At the very least, I have to be matched with a beautiful partner to express my excitement and admiration for them~"

There was laughter at the scene, and Zhou Xingxing smiled shyly and returned to his identity:

"The first award I presented is the Best New Director Award, and I sincerely hope that more and more people will come to this industry and grab my job, because our Hong Kong film industry really needs more outstanding new directors."

At this time, the TV camera surprisingly did not look at the few Hong Kong newcomer directors who were shortlisted, but locked on Li Xiaole in the mainland, as if to say that he was the "outstanding newcomer director" in Zhou Xingxing's mouth.

In the end, this award was won by Luo Zhiliang of "Different Dimension".

Next is the promulgation of "Asia's Best Movie", as Zhou Xingxing said: "Let's take a look at Asia to grab jobs~" After speaking, the big screen began to play "JSA Safe Zone" South Korea, "Color is Empty" South Korea, "Big Bowl" China, "My Sassy Girlfriend" South Korea, "Crazy Stone" China.

"The last edition was a Japanese movie, this time it looks like South Korea, or the mainland, and there is a movie that I watched and laughed so much that my stomach hurts, let's see if it's it, and the best Asian film this time is ...... Sure enough, it's ~ "Crazy Stone"~! ”

In the enthusiastic screams and cheers of the audience, as well as the helpless expression of South Korean Kim Nan, Li Xiaole pulled the stunned Sun Li and jumped away, walked onto the stage, looking at the enthusiastic applause and screams from the audience, he didn't expect him to be so popular, it seems that Hong Kong has also seen the pirated version of "Crazy Stone".

"Thank you, thank you Xingye, "Crazy Stone" can make you laugh so much that your stomach hurts, I'm really honored." Li Xiaole suppressed his excitement and took the trophy.

"Actually, I laughed so much that my stomach hurt when I watched these five movies." Zhou Xingxing joked, the scene was daxiao, as the representative of the Korean Film Promotion Association, Kim Nam was the most embarrassed, he was a non-war crime, and he lost to the director he promoted, and he would definitely be laughed at this time.

Li Xiaole stuffed the trophy to Sun Li, motioned for her to say a speech, and saw that she was not prepared at all for Sun Li, and took the trophy and said cautiously:

"Thank you...... xiexie ~ very xiexie ~ For this award, I am most grateful to the fans who support me, especially xiexie our director, if it weren't for the director, there would be no "Crazy Stone" at all......"

In the applause and screams of everyone, Li Xiaole and Sun Li stepped down with the trophy, Li Xiaole looked at Sun Li who couldn't breathe nervously and felt funny, leaned over and whispered to her:

"Platoon Commander Sun, how do you feel?" She has always said that "Crazy Stone" is a comedy that cannot be on the stage, and the best Asian film at the Academy Awards, although it is not an award, is indeed selected by people in the industry, which represents at least the quality of "Crazy Stone" in the minds of Hong Kong filmmakers.

"I don't know, the best movie in Asia...... I'm still the heaviest female character, so am I the best movie in Asia...... The heroine is referred to as the Academy Award for Best Actress in Asia. Sun Li lifted the corner of her evening dress and muttered, muttering to herself.

"......" Li Xiaole was speechless for a moment, damn, this inference is too god-level, at this time, he was walking in the aisle of the awards backstage, and many of the winners stayed to let the reporter take pictures and answer a few simple questions.

Seeing Li Xiaole and Sun Li coming out with the trophy of "Best Asian Film", reporters all rushed up, took the microphone and put it in front of Sun Li and Li Xiaole's faces and asked: "How do you feel about winning the Asian Best Film Award?" ”

"I ......" Sun Li was in a confused state and did not answer, Li Xiaole was afraid that she would tell the reporter nonsense that she had won the "Best Asian Actress" award, so she hurriedly said to the reporter, "Sorry for the urgency~" and dragged Sun Li out of the trot.

Leaving a group of reporters looking at their backs speechlessly, they scolded indignantly: "Alas, these mainland counterparts are too unprofessional~ I don't cooperate with the interview......"

After a busy day, Li Xiaole sat on the seat of the military region's transport plane back to Chuzhe, waiting for the plane to take off, but his mind was full of thoughts about his promise to Zhang Guorong, in fact, this is also a question he has been thinking about recently.

Now that the filming of "Soldier Assault" has also entered the right track, the rest of the things do not require him to make any directional decisions, and he can think about the next Jihua.

Does he want to make another movie? Of course there is~ He has countless beautiful movies that he wants to make with his own hands, and those greatest actors of this era to create the most fantastical, beautiful, and touching dreams.

Don't think about the distant dream of "Inception" for the time being, just think about the China you are in now, Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Runfa...... Just because these names flowed through his mind, Li Xiaole could hardly suppress his excitement.

Of course, he now wants to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly" the most, but the current conditions for filming to make the bullets fly are not yet mature, even if he doesn't look at the financial problem, Jiang Wen has not finished filming "The Sun Also Rises" to join his team, not to mention Ge You, Zhou Yanfa can have a schedule at the same time.

Thankfully, he has finally been recognized by a great actor, and Zhang Guorong has agreed to consider reading his script.

You must know that among the actors who emerged in Hong Kong's golden age, although the top actors can't be counted on ten fingers, most of them are actors with a strong personal style, often limited to a certain type of role.

For example, Zhou Xingxing specializes in nonsensical style comedy, Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu are good at playing slightly neurotic roles, Liu Dehua is suitable for handsome and hardcore men, and Chen Long is witty and humorous......

There are only three people who can really be like chameleons in different roles and cultures, and have amazing character shaping power, Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong, and the later Liang Dynasty......

In layman's terms, they are actors who can play what they like, not limited to seeking a type of role, and what is even more rare for these three actors is that they can all be literate and martial. This is rarely possible even among shijie-level actors.

For a director, getting one of them, Zhang Guorong, is definitely worth opening champagne to celebrate.

But Zhang Guorong is in his own hands, what can he shoot now? Li Xiaole was looking for a suitable subject in his heart, and the first thing that came to his mind was the dream he had that day, the dream with magical colors, but this thought was just a flash, and he didn't even dare to think about it now.

Let's be realistic.

In the next ten years, what are the themes of Haode movies in China? Li Xiaole of course, the first thing that comes to mind is "Thai Embarrassment", a road comedy that has created a box office of 1.3 billion, this movie is completely controllable by him now, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, are all actors he has worked with, and the investment is also within his ability, so it is not difficult to come out.

But now there is a big problem that the box office of mainland movies has just improved, and the effect of genre films such as "Thai Embarrassment" will definitely not be bad, but it must not achieve the expected effect in the impression.

Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo's current influence is far less than that of "Thai Embarrassment", and now when "Thai Embarrassment" is filmed, there will be a feeling of killing chickens and taking eggs, not to mention that there is no place for Leslie Cheung in Thai Embarrassment.

This movie should be played first, first of all, there must be Zhang Guorong's position.

Li Xiaole kept talking about Zhang Guorong, Zhang Guorong, these three words, Zhang Guorong's life masterpieces are countless, the most classic character image is the handsome son in costume dramas, such as Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story", this role and Xiaoqian Wang Guxian have become a classic image in Hong Kong movies.

In mainland movies, are there any magical stories similar to "A Chinese Ghost Story"? Li Xiaole quickly thought of "Painted Skin", which is also an adaptation of the story of Liaozhai, the story structure of this movie is very simple, but the theme is extremely novel in the mainland, the love of shemales, and the addition of a new movie jishu bring a completely different film style.

The original version got a box office of 200 million in 08 and achieved great success in business, just putting forward the roles in it, whether it is Wang Sheng played by Cheng Kun or Pei Rong played by Zhao Wei, they are far from being brilliant, but Xiao Wei played by Zhou Xun, the best actress in the mainland, is indeed a peerless generation.
