237. New script
"I'm the best director!" Ye Sumang held the trophy, and the first sentence of his speech was full of the spirit that a young man should have.
At this time, all the cameras were focused on Ye Sumang, who was standing in front of the podium, because tonight he was the most dazzling existence after all, the twenty-one-year-old Best Director at the Academy Awards, he did it.
Ye Sumang's mood at this time had gradually calmed down, and with a slow exhalation, Ye Sumang smiled, aimed at the microphone in front of him, and began his acceptance speech.
"I am honored to receive this award."
"Well, the speech when I won the best screenplay just now was very brief, in fact, you all guessed wrong, I'm not a man of action, I just want to leave that period of time here to talk together, in the end, I think I should belong to the 'talker'." Ye Sumang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Haha-!!
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, no one expected that Ye Sumang would have the idea of misappropriating the time of the award speech, although everyone knew that he was joking, but when he said this, he really felt very funny.
After the joke, Ye Sumang's face gradually became serious.
"Although I am only twenty-one years old this year, in fact, I have been in the industry for three years, as a director, I have also directed four films released nationwide, in the past three years, I have also been questioned a lot, some people question that my films are only for the box office, some people even think that I am a craftsman-type director, and even some directors are insinuating that I am a person who can't win awards, and it will only be like this for a lifetime."
"But -- I never thought so!!" As the frowning between his eyebrows unfolded, Ye Sumang's two sword eyebrows were also like out-of-body swords, piercing the wild words of those who were sarcastic at the beginning.
Ye Sumang's resounding words also made the atmosphere of the scene already solemn. Everyone's eyes were on Ye Sumang, to see what he was going to say.
"I've been looking for breakthroughs since my first film, and I want to incorporate them into my films, whether it's the subject matter, the creativity or the artistry. Just like what Senior Brother Tian Zhuang said just now, I feel that I am the director who wants to integrate the most haode elements into the movie, so today, I finally won this award and became a qualified best director. ”
After Ye Sumang finished speaking with emotion, he shook the trophy in his hand with a relaxed face, and the solemn atmosphere of the scene also dispersed, and at the same time, there was laughter and applause.
Truly. Ye Sumang's progress in the past three years is obvious to all, "What If? Love", a work that combines art and commerce, is the perfect answer to his handing in.
After the applause gradually subsided, Ye Sumang continued his speech.
"Miss Zhang Ziyi said just now that a haode director can stimulate the potential of actors, and I also want to thank all the actors and staff in the crew, your efforts have also stimulated my potential, thank you for your help, even here. I would also like to thank those opponents who used to slander me and look down on me. Xiexie: Your reproach has made me grow faster, and my honor is also shared by you!! ”
seemed to be thankful, but under the mocking smile on the corner of Ye Sumang's mouth, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't feel that it was a taste, and even Zhang Ziyi, who was standing aside at this time, opened her mouth wide. Ye Sumang's current speech is obviously aimed at Feng Xiaogang's bombardment last year!
It's just that one is straightforward, and this one is more subtle.
However, the media at the scene was excited, this is a cannon fired in the air, as long as it is taken back, it will definitely be the headlines. It seems that in the recent period, there is no fear of no news to hype.
It wasn't until Ye Sumang stepped off the podium that he came back to his senses after being immersed in Ye Sumang's speech just now, and the applause rang out again, giving it to the boy who won the Best Director Award at the age of 21.
After the award for Best Director, all that remains is the best picture, which is known as the most heavyweight.
But what if? Love's good fortune seems to have been exhausted at this point, and after winning three heavyweight 'bests', the grand prize also went to this year's highest-grossing film in Hong Kong, Kung Fu.
Ye Sumang has no regrets about this, the goodness of "Kung Fu" is obvious to all, in fact, the shortlisted films, which one of the awards will not be too controversial, and the quality of this year's Academy Awards is indeed at the top level.
At this point, all the awards of the Academy Awards have been awarded, and the biggest winner is naturally not "What If? Love" is the same.
Thirteen nominations, and nine final awards, this winning rate is really amazing, especially when it includes heavyweight awards such as Best Actor and Actress and Best Director, which also makes this achievement even more golden.
And in addition to the awards, Ye Sumang's speech also sparked a great topic discussion, and the media all saw the opportunity to interview Ye Sumang, and for a while, countless media gathered in the backstage interview area, all looking forward to the arrival of the topic person.
Soon, Ye Sumang came to the interview area with the trophy for an interview.
"Director Ye, first of all, congratulations on winning the Best Director Award at the age of twenty-one, what do you want to say about this affirmation?"
"Actually, I have already said almost the same in my testimonials just now, thank you again for the support of the fans, and the affirmation of the Academy Award judges, I am honored to receive this award, and it is also a motivation to support me to make more haode works to present to everyone." Ye Sumang responded with a smile.
"So the opponent you thanked in your speech is not specifically referring to a certain person." Sure enough, the media will not let go of this breaking point.
However, Ye Sumang had already thought about how to deal with it, and when the question was asked, he was not flustered at all, and replied in a good time: "It doesn't specifically refer to anyone, anything, it's just an inner emotion." ”
As soon as Ye Sumang's words came out, all media reporters pouted in their hearts.
Inner emotion? Only fools believe it!
However, Ye Sumang didn't say it, they couldn't force the other party to admit it, and it wasn't impossible for the other party not to say that the media, I can guess if you don't say it, and there is more room for imagination.
After answering a few more questions, Ye Sumang left the venue in a low-key manner, leaving the time for media interviews to those actors who really needed it.
And the media reports on the second day unsurprisingly left most of the headlines for "What If?" Love.

What if? Although the two places belong to the same country, Hong Kong people have always looked down on the mainland in terms of films, and although the mainland is dissatisfied with their attitude, it is helpless that its own strength is not enough, and there is a certain gap between it and HK movies that have been mature for many years.
So when the "What If? When "Love" killed all sides at the Academy Awards, many people also felt angry, who said that our mainland movies can't be, "If? Love isn't an example, and if it's not good, why did you win nine awards at your top film awards?
Even many media feel that Zuihou's best film should also be awarded to "If? Love.
But when mainland filmmakers felt angry, some well-intentioned people also found some clues from this film.
For example, Ye Sumang's mentor Xie Fei wrote a testimonial after the Academy Awards were awarded.
"Historically, after mainland films got rid of politics, they entered the point of blind learning, learning Hong Kong films, Japanese films, and American films, but often only learned one of the four dissimilarities in the end.
I say this, not to prevent everyone from learning other people's knowledge, behind closed doors is naturally not right, my meaning is very simple, sometimes, we can't blindly follow, but to find their advantages and use them, into their own advantages is the correct ultimate goal, just like a blockbuster, don't think how much money to invest, how many special effects to create that is a blockbuster, but to be like "If? Love" is like this, using every penny to the real place and spending it in the place, this is the key.
A blockbuster is never measured by money, but by its own courage, connotation and strength. ”
As an old-timer, Xie Fei's words undoubtedly carry a lot of weight, and at the same time, it also woke up many directors who want to follow the trend and create blockbusters, of course, some people scoff at this, and still think that the more you invest, the more big-name stars you invite, the higher the box office will be.
As everyone knows, at this time, it is a vicious impact on the existing film market, after all, when the audience enters the theater, what they have to watch in the end is the film itself, maybe a big-name movie star, high-end special effects attract the audience for a while, but it will not attract the audience for a lifetime, when the audience is fresh, all that remains is the sense of deception hidden in the bottom of the heart, and this blind blockbuster route will also perish.
Ye Sumang doesn't care if other people want to follow the trend and make big productions, even if he cares, he can't care what others think, and he can't make others think that he is selfish and wants to monopolize this blockbuster market.
Now Ye Sumang, in addition to devoting himself to learning, is constantly selecting the TV drama scripts sent over.
After all, the company's main task this year is to expand the company's resources in the film and television industry with TV series as the main focus, and with more and more scripts being sent, Ye Sumang really found a few eye-catching existences in them.
Especially a TV series in ancient costumes, which especially attracted Ye Sumang's attention.
Holding the script, Ye Sumang smiled and called his secretary Li Meng in, ready to meet with the director and screenwriter who handed over the script. (To be continued......)
