Chapter 264: Returning with Honors
Zeng Xiaoxian was very depressed in his heart, but life is like this, there are peaks and valleys! No one will always be at the top, and nothing can really be perfect. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the loss in the competition for this award, Zeng Xiaoxian's interest after that was also much lower, and after a considerable period of time, it was finally Zeng Xiaoxian's turn to win the award again.
But this time it's not finally an award that Zeng Xiaoxian cares about a lot, the competition for the best foreign language film, among the several awards related to Zeng Xiaoxian this time, in addition to the best supporting actor, Zeng Xiaoxian cares about this best foreign language film the most.
If the best supporting actor in "Twilight" represents Zeng Xiaoxian's acting skills, then the best foreign language film in "Myth" represents Zeng Xiaoxian's directorial level.
In addition to the best director, it is undoubtedly the best film and the best foreign language film and other comprehensive awards that can best reflect a director's ability, after all, the overall coordination of these still depends on the director's strength.
"This year, there are a lot of excellent movies all over the world, many of which I feel heartbroken after watching them, and the following announcement, the best foreign language film, the film that won the best foreign language film is "Myth", China, congratulations." With the words of the awarder, the scene once again burst into thunderous applause.
Zeng Xiaoxian once again felt a camera freeze in front of him, and involuntarily showed a smile on his face, and stepped forward again, and the trophy in the hand of the awarder was awarded.
"Congratulations Zeng Xiaoxian, you are on stage for the second time, I hope you will have a chance to go on stage in the future!"
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slightly, stepped forward and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy and honored to stand on the stage full of honor of the Oscars again, Chris said just now, this is the second time I stand on this stage, I hope I still have the opportunity to stand on this stage, of course, this is also my hope, but no matter how many times I stand on this stage again, it cannot replace my current impulse, I believe some people know." "Myth", which won me this award, is the first play I directed personally, and it is also the script I wrote myself, and I played the leading role, which means a lot to me, and the recognition I can get is naturally very meaningful, and I will never forget this moment for the rest of my life. ”
"But the most important thing for me about this award is not my personal significance, but that it is a film that represents our China, a film with a pure Chinese background, and in this case, it represents our Chinese film. I hope that I will be able to bring you more Chinese movies in the future, so that you can have a better understanding of Chinese culture, and it is no longer just a mysterious China."
"To be able to get this award, I would like to thank our Mr. Ye Youyue, Lu Ziqiao, Hu Yifei, Li Shishi, Tang Youyou, and many behind-the-scenes staff, it is precisely because of everyone's efforts that we can win this award, and thank you to the Oscar Organizing Committee for affirming us, thank you!"
As soon as Zeng Xiaoxian's words fell, the venue resounded with thunderous applause, not only because of the award Zeng Xiaoxian won, but also because of Zeng Xiaoxian's words just now, his words won everyone's respect.
Standing on the high stage, listening to the thunderous applause of everyone, Zeng Xiaoxian felt infinite pride in his heart at this moment, this cut he was proud of his motherland, and he had never felt the existence of the motherland so clearly as now!
As for the awards that Zeng Xiaoxian was shortlisted for, the outside media are optimistic about Zeng Xiaoxian, and they all feel that at least half of these awards can be won, after all, Zeng Xiaoxian's strength in last year's album is also obvious to all. In the end, when it was time to count, the statistics came up as high as Liekou Jizhang, and it definitely appeared in the music scene with a sweeping attitude, and it was not only a matter of sales, but the reputation of "Half One" was also first-class in the industry all over the world, especially last year, which covered up the limelight of all albums.
The facts are also similar to what many media speculated, Best Record of the Year, Best Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Male Singer, Best Short Music Video, Best Film and Television Song, Best Record Packaging, and other eight awards, Zeng Xiaoxian won the Best Album of the Year in one go. Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Male Pop Vocal, Best Short Music Video. Six awards, including the best film and television song, became the big winner of the night.
After participating in the Oscars and Grammy Awards, Zeng Xiaoxian returned with honors, and was touted as if there was nothing in heaven and earth as soon as he returned to China. Zeng Xiaoxian, who is now living almost the world's attention, naturally can't escape the fate of being touted.
Zeng Xiaoxian has learned to be immune to this, and did not pay much attention to this aspect, but immediately began the preparation of "My Girl".
In fact, the preparation of "My Girl" has been prepared a long time ago, after all, this TV series has long been said to be filmed, so Zeng Xiaoxian's current preparations are almost at the end, and he can start filming as soon as the time comes, after preparing for "My Girl", the company has almost prepared for the filming of "A Lifetime of Love", and began to prepare for "Zhu Xian", which will start filming in the middle of this year, this year's "Zhu Xian" is definitely the highlight of the Tang Dynasty.
And Zeng Xiaoxian is now discussing with assistant director Lin Qin for the filming of "My Girl".
Now Lin Qin is no longer the novice who just graduated from the academy, after "Myth" became popular, although she is only the first assistant director, she is also well-known in the circle, especially among the newcomer directors of the same generation, this opportunity can be said to be very good, she has already had such an experience at a young age, and Zeng Xiaoxian's previous cooperation with her He also felt quite pleasant, so this time "My Girl" Zeng Xiaoxian found Lin Qin again.
Lin Qin is also willing to give Zeng Xiaoxian as an assistant director to accumulate experience, after experiencing the filming of myths, the company is more optimistic about Lin Qin's potential in this regard, so he signed Lin Qin, but because Lin Qin's experience is very shallow, and the company suddenly can't get so many movies for her to shoot, so he has been letting him follow a few directors to continue to learn how to direct, hoping that she can be on her own in a few years, the director does not need to be an actor, it is impossible to say that she wants to use it.
"Time is running out now, we need to hurry!" Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Lin Qin and said.
"According to the progress of our plan, an episode in two to three days is completely achievable!" Lin Qin said.
"Even then, if you want to shoot all 24 episodes, it will be at least the end of May!" Zeng Xiaoxian said.
"Is there anything wrong with the end of May?" Lin Qin said.
"Because I have to shoot "Zhu Xian" after this, if I wait until I finish filming "My Girl" and then start preparations, it may be a little too late, so I think we can try it and broadcast it while filming, in that case it should be just right!" Zeng Xiaoxian said that he remembered that many TV series in the previous life would be filmed and broadcast at the same time, in fact, it was because the time was very fast, and this time it was also very time-rushed.
"Zhu Xian" Zeng Xiaoxian is destined to invest a lot of effort, the preparation in the early stage must take a very long time, and Zeng Xiaoxian also has to adapt the script, after all, the novel is one thing, the script is another, it is impossible to shoot it directly as a script, and Zeng Xiaoxian also plans to expand it on the basis of the original work, originally it was said that it revolved around the love between Zhang Xiaofan, Xueqi and Baguio, and it is impossible to do this after being adapted into a movie, just around Zhang Xiaofan, Other subplots must also be developed, so some characters that are not in the original book or have in the original book, but there are not many scenes, will also get more scenes.
This requires Zeng Xiaoxian to spend a lot of time revising, which is more difficult than writing a script directly, after all, this is to be adapted quietly, without affecting the overall situation, you must know that Zeng Xiaoxian's pressure is really great, although the original author of "Zhu Xian" is Zeng Xiaoxian himself, and he has also adapted a lot on the basis of Xiao Ding's original work, but this kind of adapted work is the most difficult to achieve everyone's satisfaction, after all, the so-called Hamlet with a thousand people in their hearts, it is impossible to achieve perfection, in case it is not done well, They don't give themselves the face of the original author.
"But if we shoot and broadcast at the same time, the time will become very tight, and we have to prepare earlier before that, so the time is really tight!" Lin Qin said.
"It doesn't matter, I'll be ready for all of this! When the time comes, everyone will work hard, and there is no way! Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged his shoulders and said, "To film my scene, you must be prepared to endure hardships, I am not a charity concentration camp here!" ”
Although Zeng Xiaoxian's crew is not the most demanding in the entertainment industry, for the actors who have worked with Zeng Xiaoxian, it can definitely be felt that Zeng Xiaoxian is strict when filming, and it is difficult to relax when filming.
Of course, Zeng Xiaoxian was a little selfish in doing this time, mainly to not delay his time.
If you follow the normal shooting, then after the filming is completed in May, Zeng Xiaoxian will spend at least one or two months to do post-production, and then he will have to do publicity, etc., and when he can get out, it will already be July and August, but this also has its own advantages, that is, the preparation time is very sufficient, the quality of the work will undoubtedly go to a higher level, and after full publicity, the ratings will definitely get good results from the beginning.
Let's just say that there are pros and cons. Zeng Xiaoxian must choose a choice that is more beneficial to himself, and it is everyone's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"In short, the crew has to start running as quickly as possible, fortunately, they are all fashion shows, and these are not problems." Zeng Xiaoxian said, "Our main shooting is in Shanghai, and we will hold a press conference here the day after tomorrow, in short, we must first get the early publicity!" ”
After Zeng Xiaoxian made the decision, Lin Qin began to prepare for the start-up press conference, as well as surveying some shooting locations and communicating with the staff.
And Zeng Xiaoxian went to contact Li Duohai, before the film was started, several of their leading actors were about to start filming, before filming, because they had to shoot and broadcast at the same time, so the publicity time was relatively short, so they had to be promoted before filming, so Zeng Xiaoxian decided to shoot a one-minute promotional film before filming again, roughly pick out a few important shots in the script first, and then shoot out the important parts, edit them into several one-minute promotional videos, and release some of them every once in a while, and the basic publicity is enough.
Several actors have been reading the script at home since they were invited by Zeng Xiaoxian, and they are in a state at any time, of course, there are not, such as Hu Yifei, who is preparing a new album and the last album, but even so, under Zeng Xiaoxian's call, she still put down the work at hand.
In this way, Zeng Xiaoxian summoned a one-type crew to start filming.
At the end of March, the weather in Shanghai has begun to gradually warm, and it has already entered the biting cold during the Spring Festival, which is not as cold as the howling wind in the north.
The night sky was overcast, drowning and melting in the dark night, and there was not a single speck of moonlight and starlight to be seen.
Located in the center of Shanghai, the area around Grand Gateway Plaza is as bright as day, and there is no slight realization that night has fallen, and the pedestrians on the scene are no less than during the day.
Zeng Xiaoxian, a small crew, has begun to form a formation at Grand Gateway Plaza and is ready to start filming.
Tonight is mainly to shoot two sets of shots, one is a kiss scene between Zeng Xiaoxian and Li Duohai on the street, and the other is a scene in the snow between Li Duohai and Lu Ziqiao, and Hu Yifei has no scene tonight, so he rests at Zeng Xiaoxian's home in Shanghai, and prepares for tomorrow's group of scenes.
Although the entertainment industry has been showing more and more in front of ordinary people in recent years, filming is still a very mysterious thing for the public, so when they saw Zeng Xiaoxian and others filming here, the pedestrians around them stopped one after another. Looking at the crew, pointing and pointing, there are whispered discussions and loud discussions.
As a director, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't walk up to the crowd and said: "Everyone, everyone, I know everyone is very curious about filming. But I hope you can be quieter and don't affect our shooting, thank you, I hope you can stay away! Although Zeng Xiaoxian could let those staff members drive them away, firstly, Zeng Xiaoxian felt that this was a little too ruthless, and secondly, this was a public place, and they had no right to ask people to leave, so Zeng Xiaoxian took the way of knowing and moving with emotion to obtain everyone's understanding.
