Chapter 43: Action-Adventure Thriller
After the speech, he shook hands with the two hosts cordially, and then Zhou Yi and Liang Mofeng stepped down together. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info tonight's task was successfully completed, very successful, next, you can relax. As for the third award nominated, Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Film, whether it wins or not, tonight's harvest is satisfying, and there is a lot of hope for the third award.
Since this year's Saturn Award gave Zhengdong the second award for "Five Poison Gates", he definitely doesn't care about giving the third award.
If there really is a limit, the second prize will not be given.
If you can't get the second prize, you won't get the third prize, but if you get the second prize, the third prize will be very hopeful.
In this way, the situation is good.
Zhou Yi just waited patiently.
Returning to the east seat, everyone celebrated briefly, and Zhou Yi continued to enjoy the next awards. Tang Yan asked for her brother's trophy again, helped her brother keep it, and took one in one hand, she liked it very much, it was fun to watch.
The two presenters on stage have already begun to present the next award.
Next, there are the most important awards, the supporting actor award and the newcomer award have been distributed, and there are only seven awards left, all of which are important awards.
The first is the Best Actress award.
The Saturn Award for Best Actress is limited by genre films, and it is not a queen, but it is also a very important honor. As for the Golden Dragon Award and Huabiao Award, it is too difficult to get it. The Saturn Award for Best Actress is also very good, and the industry also values it and cannot be ignored.
But unexpectedly, this performance award was won by someone else.
The two blockbusters "Saturn at Opposition" and "Havoc in Heaven" did not win this award, this kind of blockbuster cannot let female characters play too much in performance, and it is normal to choose beautiful vases and not win the performance award.
After all, the awards are relatively fair, whether it is a blockbuster or not, the performance award is only counted if the performance is awarded.
Whether it's the best or not, at least if it's at that level, you can win the prize.
In the end, the Best Actress Award was actually taken away by a low-budget horror film "Worrying into a Disease", which caused a big upset. This film didn't win any technical awards and minor awards before, but it took home the Best Actress award, which is really amazing.
Even if you only win this one award, it will be enough.
This important jackpot is one top three.
The crew over there was going crazy, and Xue Jingyi, the heroine of "Worrying into a Disease", cried with joy and happily came to the stage to accept the award.
Zhou Yi followed everyone and applauded and congratulated. He hasn't seen this movie, I don't know how, it is estimated that the heroine must have played a good role, otherwise it would not be the turn of a small-budget film to win the award. Listening to the title of the film, it is estimated that it is a one-man show of the heroine, and this kind of play is indeed easy to win the Best Actress Award.
In fact, Zhou Yi is usually too busy to watch these latest movies at all.
It seems that I will have to watch more in the future, otherwise these actors in the circle will not recognize them.
People can win the best actress, you don't recognize it, that's too much.
Tang Yan next to her watched Xue Jingyi talking eloquently on stage, quite envious. The little girl has little stars in her eyes and two trophies in her hands, which is quite interesting. Zhou Yi thought it was funny, there would be more opportunities to win awards in the future, and there was no need for my sister to be in a hurry.
Just started college, why are you in a hurry to get a prize?
However, this year's Saturn Awards is really a big upset for small-budget films, with "Missing the Day", "Cabin in the Woods", "Five Poison Gates" and "Anxiety and Illness" winning awards, and the two blockbusters started high and went low, winning more awards in the front and not in the back.
Of course, the final prize will definitely be given to them, and Zhou Yi understands it very well.
As for some mid-range films this year, they have served on the streets, and the box office reputation has failed, of course, they can't win awards.
Some mid-range films this year are quite bleak, low or high.
After the Best Actress Award was awarded, next, the Best Actor Award was taken away by Liang Mofeng without accident. Such a superstar will definitely win the grand prize in person. "Saturn at opposition" won its fourth award and maintained its lead.
The guests who presented the award to Liang Mofeng are, of course, respected old-timers in the industry, who are very face-saving.
The two most important acting awards have been awarded, and so far, all the acting awards of this year's Saturn Awards have been awarded.
Then, the Director's Award was awarded.
Not surprisingly, the Best Director Award was awarded to director Shi Bibao, the director of "Little Tearing Treasure".
Since the big director is present in person, he will also win an award.
Although the reputation of "Havoc in Heaven" is not particularly ideal, it is not low, it is not a big bad movie, and there are many audiences who appreciate it, otherwise the box office would not have rushed so high, even if it did not reach the level of "Thunderbolt Baby" by Shui Yuexun, but the box office was indeed high enough. Xiao Tearing Bao resisted the suppression of the five major factions alone, and achieved this kind of achievement, which is brilliant enough, and can give an award.
Of course, this is because other directors of this year are not angry, and there is no special outstanding, even if they don't give Xiao Tear Bao, others can't.
Like the director of "Saturn Opposition", the role is not very large, it does not reflect particularly deep directing skills, the performance is very ordinary, there is no mistake, but there is no miracle, mainly relying on the actor Liang Mofeng to support the box office. "Time Machine" is a negative teaching material for science fiction films, the director is about to be scolded to death by the audience, how to win the award? Some little horror film directors are even more unlikely to win the director award, and it would be good to win the acting award.
After all, the director award discriminates against horror films and feels that there is no technical content.
As for Director Zhao of "Five Poisons", although he has turned over in his career, he has not been recognized by the professional judges at the Director Awards. After all, his directing is decent, and without special performances, it is difficult to win awards.
However, when the movie "Ace vs. Ace" is released, this situation will definitely change.
Don't think Director Zhao doesn't want to win the award, he wants to.
Now he can only envy Zhou Yi, he has a double award in hand just after his debut, of course it is worth envious, but Director Zhao is very helpless and can't help it.
Other films, "Phantom of the Labyrinth", "Escape from the Lost Island" or something, are all failed films, and they can't compete for the director award at all.
The films have failed, what else can the director fight for?
In comparison, it is still the most reliable for Xiao Tear Bao to win the director award, and the box office reputation is available. This is a big one in the, but if there is a reliable one, the director award will not give a small tearing treasure. However, director Shi Bibao is still very happy to win this award.
Now "Havoc in Heaven" has won the third award, followed by "Saturn opposition".
The director award has been awarded, and only the film award remains, which is the grand prize for the whole crew.
Zhengdong's side is nervous again, and there is one last nomination, can he win three yuan in a row? Now Zhengdong has two awards in hand, which is very good, tied with the horror film "Never Seen the Day", second only to the two blockbusters.
However, all the awards won by Zhou Yi are individual awards, and everyone also wants to win a collective award, not without opportunities.
Among the film awards, the award for Best Horror Film was presented first.
This award is very reasonable to be taken away by "Never Seen of the Day". With the technical award for Best Editing, and the Best Supporting Actor Award for Performance, and there is no better horror film to compete with, it is naturally no problem to take away the Best Horror Film award. This small-budget film has already won three awards, and is temporarily tied with "Havoc in Heaven". Clearly, this film will be one of the winners tonight.
After the crew of "Seeing the Day" delivered their acceptance speeches on stage, the next step was the Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Film Award that Zhengdong was looking forward to. This award can sometimes be given separately, such as Best Action/Adventure Movie and Best Thriller, but sometimes it is combined, such as Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Movie for some award-winning films that have both action and thriller.
This year's Saturn Awards are combined.
Probably because of the action cult genre of "Five Poisons", it can also be called an action thriller, but a simple thriller can also participate in the awards, not necessarily action. As long as any of the three conditions are met, you can participate in the awards.
The Saturn Awards take good care of action movies in this regard and are willing to play with action movies.
Other awards ceremonies don't have a dedicated award set for action movies at all.
One idea is, since you play business, you should play business seriously! What more do you want? Do action actors have acting skills?
As for the behind-the-scenes personnel, action directors, action designers, stunt directors, stunt martial artists, etc., if you want to win awards, there is no way at all.
There is no such thing as Best Action Design.
This is different from the previous life, and it is also different from the Hong Kong Film Awards in the previous life, there is no action design award.
Because in the eyes of the traditional judges in the industry, isn't the action design just plagiarizing the traditional Chinese national arts and fighting techniques of various countries? Those are not your original, and they have no technical content at all, so why should you be awarded?
For example, you used Wing Chun in the movie, the action design is good, I want to present the award, directly to Wing Chun, to Ip Man, can't you? Aren't you using those things? It's okay to burn paper and burn them, so why should I award you the award?
Many people in the industry have this kind of thinking, thinking that there is no technical content, and of course they will not give awards.
In fact, many action directors and behind-the-scenes stunts in the industry are very dissatisfied and have always wanted to win an award, but unfortunately, until now, they have not won it, and there is still no award for action design.
Zhou Yi usually heard Director Huang Huacheng complain, but it was useless. This kind of thing, no one can say it, the tradition is like this, it is difficult to break. Zhou Yi felt that if he took out his Jeet Kune Do in the future, maybe it would change this situation.
But now it's definitely not going to work, he's not famous enough.
Besides, Jeet Kune Do is reserved for the "Military Commander's Secret Service" series and cannot be used now.
By that time, he will become famous, his influence in the industry will be great, "Military Commander Secretary" will be filmed into a series, and Jeet Kune Do will have an effect, and if I mention this matter again, it is estimated that it will be solved logically. This life is not like the previous life, there is no Bruce Lee, there is no original thing in the future life, the national art is all the things of the predecessors, and naturally there is no award for the best action design.
If Zhou Yi can really do this in the future, it will be a pioneering achievement, and it will definitely be remembered in the history of Chinese films, leaving a strong mark. Add an award setting for the Huabiao Award and the Golden Dragon Award, which superstar can do it before? If Zhou Yi does it, it will be a historic achievement, and all the action directors and behind-the-scenes personnel will be grateful.
At that time, Zhou Yi's fame and popularity will reach its peak, and his achievements are enough to be compared with those old-timers who pioneered Chinese films in the early years.
That's when Yan Ying will really be proud of him.
This is what Zhou Yi has always wanted to do.
But it's too early to think about those things, you have to be down-to-earth, you can't be ambitious, Zhou Yi has to come step by step now.
At least he now has a solid foundation.
Regarding the current situation of Chinese movies, Zhou Yi feels that it is very similar to Hollywood in his previous life. In the previous life, Hollywood just didn't have action awards, no professional awards for behind-the-scenes stuntmen, and it always looked down on these jobs.
In the past life, those action directors and stuntmen also suggested to the Oscar management and the academy to ask for more awards, but they have not been treated fairly. They even proposed that they could receive the award before the awards party and did not need to attend the awards ceremony, but even such a humiliating way of receiving the award still did not work. The Oscars just don't recognize it, and the academic judges don't recognize it, what else can you do?
Film and television art is like spring and snow, and I am unwilling to deal with the Riba people.
The aristocracy was unwilling to compete with the mud legs on the same stage to receive the award, and there was really no way.
The discrimination in this regard in the Chinese film and television industry is not serious, but there are no awards, thinking that you are not original, you should not win awards, too commercial, and you should not win awards, so there has been no relevant awards, which has nothing to do with discrimination.
In fact, it makes sense for people to think about it, it's not that it's stubborn, but that the action design is really not original, so what's the solution?
You can't design a set of fighting moves, create a boxing method by yourself!
The action design of the industry is all kinds of copying techniques, no wonder people are reluctant to give awards. Even if it is the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, at least it has to be adapted, which is much more technical than action design. The behind-the-scenes personnel of these action stunts are dumb and eat yellow lotus, and they can't say what they are suffering from.
Originally, there were not a few people behind the scenes of this group of practicing national arts, who were highly educated and could speak well, and they couldn't convince the group of people on the award committee at all, the right to speak was not in their hands, and the media were not on their side.
The majority of fans sympathize with each other, but they probably also feel that the statement of the top level of the academy is not unreasonable.
In this way, of course, things are not easy to solve.
This is the basic situation of the action film awards in the Chinese film industry today.
Getting back to business, now the award for Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Movie is finally going out.
