For filmmakers, the works are not as good as the eyes of the award ceremony, obviously they already have a high reputation and influence, and their works are also well received, but it is not uncommon to have no chance to win awards, both at home and abroad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the original time and space, Stephen Chow was the king of comedy in Chinese films, and he was not treated well by the Hong Kong Film Awards in the early stage, and was recognized as the actor many years later, Jackie Chan is an international superstar and has a pivotal position in the world, but he can't win the award.

Look at Hollywood, everyone knows how awesome Christopher Nolan is, there are countless fans all over the world, and every movie is considered a classic, but it also misses the Academy Award.

However, this situation actually has something in common, that is, the awards do value artistry, and they are judged by this standard, and commercial blockbusters have simply entered the eyes of the Oscars, like Marvel movies, although they are popular all over the world, the Oscars have nothing to do with them.

Whether it is a comedy or an action film, it is understandable that commercial films do not meet the standards of awards, but Zhang Yao is not a director of commercial films, and "Buried Alive" and "The Night the Comet Comed" are not commercial films, which is not to be said.

Maybe I don't dare to say how strong the artistry of these two works is, but at least they are very breakthrough, to put it mildly, if you are tall among the short people in the Chinese film and television industry, these two works are also very conspicuous.

If the other shortlisted works are better than this, then no one will complain, this is inferior skills, but look at the works that have been shortlisted for Best New Director and Best Screenplay, there is no comparison at all.

So fans were very indignant when they learned the news, and many media also held grievances for Zhang Yao, and Zhao Xin of "Film Report" also called Zhang Yao, but it was private, he was just a reporter and couldn't say anything, but just passed on a message that they were also helpless.

Although the Yanhua Film Awards were initiated and hosted by "Film Report", they only contributed money and efforts, and they released their rights from the beginning, and the process and results were not something they could control.

Originally, this was to make the award more fair and authoritative, but who would have thought that one day they would encounter such a situation, and they couldn't say too much, so they couldn't question it themselves, right?

"Film Report" can only be silent, but other media interviewed Zhang Yao in various ways, and the questions asked are almost the same, first of all, what do you think about this matter?

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Yao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Winning awards can't make my work better, and it won't be worse, whether the movie is good or not The audience also has their own judging criteria, why should I bother with this?" ”

"It's been rumored on the Internet that you didn't get nominated because some people deliberately suppressed you, and you did have conflicts with many people, will these things make you angry, or other negative emotions?"

The reporter asked very tactfully, and at the same time was also clarifying some things, in fact, the media are all routines, and they will not express their position on bad things, nor will they say that they said it themselves, but have an attitude of quoting.

Zhang Yao said: "This is really not true, I have always felt that as a filmmaker, I should use my works to speak." ”

As a director, movies are his own language, and Zhang Yao doesn't care if he can win awards or not, but it doesn't mean that he just doesn't care about what is going on outside the window.

The content of the interview was reported, and many netizens expressed their support, not to mention his original fans, many passers-by also began to stand on his side, because as long as there is a sense of justice, they will not be used to it.

People often sympathize with the disadvantaged, compared with Wu Shushan and Cao Falcon, Zhang Yao is weak, the more they suppress, the more people support Zhang Yao, and Zhang Yao dares to work against these people, which also makes people admire.

The outside world is still very noisy, Zhang Yao and they are still doing what they need to do at their own pace, not in a hurry, and now the most important thing is the new film.

Xia Yaohan swiped the news with his mobile phone and said: "Since you have decided to make a new film, you should reveal it when you are interviewed, there is no need to waste too much free publicity." ”

Zhang Yao raised his head and said: "Where do I need to deliberately reveal it now, so many people are staring at it, any movement will attract attention, and there is no need to worry about publicizing this kind of thing." ”

"Well, that's true, but it always feels a little sad." Xia Yaohan shook his head and said, "Forget it, the result is the same anyway, let's talk about your movie." ”

"Actually, this time I want to make a metaphorical work, probably trying to express the attributes of everyone in this society, or in a certain circle, the domineering and tyrannical power of the powerful and the right to speak, and some are insensitive, etc."

Xia Yaohan said: "It looks like you want to criticize everyone, it's still a little bit different from what I think, I originally thought you just wanted to make a movie to scold people." ”

"I'm a director with higher pursuits, it's just that it's too embarrassing to scold people." When Zhang Yao said this, he attracted a pair of white eyes.

Xia Yaohan knocked on the table and said, "I won't discuss with you what you are pursuing, let's talk about reality, how much budget does this movie need, and what about the actors?" ”

Zhang Yao thought for a while and said: "If the actor wants seven, even if the main role is six, if there is one of the opening scenes, you can find someone to run a trick." ”

While pondering the plot, Zhang Yao said: "First of all, I need two actresses, one to play the student and the other to play the doctor, from the perspective of age and temperament, you are all in line with the role of the student, the doctor requires an older age, it would have been better to be a middle-aged woman, but we don't have this choice." ”

"So you're going to let Ning Xue choose?" Xia Yaohan was about to guess, Zhang Yao nodded, and she continued: "Ning Xue is also twenty-seven or eighteen this year, although she is not a middle-aged woman, it is easy to identify compared to me, and it is not a problem. ”

"There is also an important role in the police, requiring burly people to look more powerful, I think Zhou Hongwei is the most suitable. In addition, there is also the role of an engineer, which is the representative of Ma Bubenevolent just mentioned, because he has experienced too much and has no hope for everything, Hao Yiwen is very suitable. ”

Xia Yaohan also nodded and said, "OK, you go on, there are five people now, and there are still two missing." ”

Zhang Yao stretched his waist and said: "Actually, I don't want to act this time, I still prefer to be a director than an actor, but this time the meaning is different, this is specially for some people to watch, so I count myself as one." ”

"Is it okay to ask Xu Can and them to come?" Nearly half of the people in the second class of hip-hop have been brought in, and Xia Yaohan is thinking about taking care of Xu Can and their gang.

Zhang Yao shook his head and said: "Not this time, except for the roles of you and me, which can be relaxed a little, the other characters are all middle-aged talents, and if they are all small fresh meat, the sense of disobedience is too strong, and they can't better convey the meaning I want to express." ”

"That's okay, anyway, after retiring from the competition, the second class of hip-hop has nothing to do now, and it's good to come and help." Xia Yaohan said: "Since you don't specifically designate it, the importance of the role is worse, so I'll decide who to choose." People are solved, and all that remains is the question of money. ”

The second class of hip-hop didn't spend much money, and now Xia Yaohan still has nearly 20 million, which is enough. Zhang Yao didn't deliberately make a budget, and said: "It should be enough to shoot hundreds of thousands, but it takes a lot more trouble to make props this time." Uh, I didn't include the pay, you can watch it. ”

The second class of hip-hop is now Xia Yaohan's, and Hao Yiwen is her contracted actors, of course, this is not the case, you can not be paid, with Xia Yaohan's personality, the price will only be raised, not the price will be lowered.

Now Hao Yiwen and they are not very famous, and they can hardly get the starring position outside, even if it is calculated according to the market price, it does not cost much, and Xia Yaohan's management of the second class of hip-hop is also very market-oriented.

"Now our situation is much better, and the salary can be more generous, but there is no need to say how high it must be, let's follow the market, and wait for the box office to be released and then send a red envelope."

Xia Yaohan finalized it, and Zhang Yao had no objection at all, so he said: "You have a headache for these things, and my busy work is even more troublesome, the props needed this time can't be relied on only by us, we have to hire a professional props master." ”

"Where are you going to shoot that?" Xia Yaohan followed and asked, and Zhang Yao said: "It's still that all the scenes are completed in the studio, so it's still the same as before, just use the school's equipment and the studio." ”

Saying that, Zhang Yao had some doubts again, and said: "It's just using the school's equipment to earn our own money, and I always feel like we're borrowing chickens and laying eggs, isn't it good?" I wonder if someone will make irresponsible comments. ”

"The school's stuff wasn't just lent to us, they had the ability for them to take it and shoot it? It's not just that we are supported, everyone in the school is very supportive, who is to blame? ”

Xia Yaohan snorted twice, paused and said: "But since the school supports us so much, as a student, we should also give back, so it's okay, in the future, if the school needs to repair or purchase equipment, we will pay for it, and if it doesn't work, you can donate directly to the school." ”

"It's much better." Zhang Yao nodded and said, "Anyway, donate to others, you have to donate, compared to donating to others and not knowing what to do, donating to the school can really be seen." Then it's decided, I'll go to Aunt Xu if the prop master is the prop master, there should be enough people on Starlight Media's side. ”

For a film and television company, prop masters are also a regular need, even if they don't have them themselves, they can easily be contacted, these will not be a problem, but how long it will take to prepare is uncertain, after all, it is quite complicated.
