Chapter 06: Finalist for the Saturn Prize
After taking the "Ethics and Law" class in the afternoon, at dinner time, Zhou Yi received news from Xi Wei that his company's "Five Poison Gates" was selected for this year's Saturn Award. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info company received the news in the afternoon, but Zhou Yi had to go to class, so he could only report it in the evening.
What's new, simple to report, the little assistant is dutiful every day.
Zhou Yi was surprised and asked, "Saturn Award?" What's that award? ā
He had never heard of this award at all, and it was estimated that it was similar to the Golden Su Award, which was a small award.
Xi Wei explained: "The Saturn Award is a very important award in our industry, which is an annual film and television award jointly founded and held by our Chinese Science Fiction Film Association, Fantasy Film Association and Horror Film Association. ā
Zhou Yi was even more strange: "Science fiction? Fantasy? Terror? We are action films, how could we be shortlisted for this award? ā
Xi Wei said: "Maybe it's because we have horror and thriller elements in "Five Poison Gates", so it's also included." ā
Zhou Yi thought about it, it is indeed possible, there are many scenes in "Five Poison Gate" that are really terrifying and terrifying.
Xi Wei said: "We were shortlisted for three awards this time, and the most important one of them is the 'Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Movie' award, this award is really close to our movie, it is not so outrageous, many cult movies have won this award before." ā
Zhou Yi said clearly: "This award also brings an action award?" The action plus thriller is indeed quite appropriate, which is understandable. ā
Xi Wei said: "The other two awards shortlisted are the 'Best Young Actor' award and the 'Best Screenplay' award, which can be regarded as normal shortlistings. Both of these awards are related to you, and they are very important to you, boss. ā
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "If you can win the award, of course, of course, I'm afraid I'll go to accompany you." ā
Xi Wei said: "If you have time, it's best to attend, maybe you can really win the award!" After all, our "Five Poisons" still has a great influence in the industry this year. Most of the films nominated for the Saturn Award were influential and sensational films that year. Our "Five Poison Gates" meet the requirements. Besides, no matter whether you can win the award or not, you can get familiar with your face when you attend, at least the newcomers must be polite, and they can't leave a bad impression of arrogance on several associations. If you don't go, can you get the newcomer award? ā
Zhou Yi said helplessly: "If I have time then, I will definitely go, for fear of delaying the class, I can only talk about it then." Where is the Saturn Award ceremony held? If it's in the field, it's troublesome. ā
Xi Wei introduced: "It is held locally in our Yanjing, and it is very convenient for Yanjing Satellite TV to broadcast live to the whole country." ā
Zhou Yi felt good and said: "That's okay, maybe I can really find time to get a prize in the past." ā
Xi Wei smiled and said, "Actually, you can't go if you don't go." Caizi Group already knows about this and has begun to order a dress for you to attend the Saturn Award ceremony, whether you can win the award or not, just attend. Even if you miss class, you have to go. ā
Zhou Yi is really dizzy, there is no way to do it.
Sometimes it's really people in the circle, they can't help themselves, and they can't do what they want. Fortunately, there is only one endorsement brand now, otherwise if there are a few more, I am afraid that it will be too busy.
Zhou Yi also reminded Xi Wei that the company should pay attention to publicity, no matter whether it can win the award or not, there must be publicity, at least let fans know. For newcomers, it is not necessary to win an award, the nomination is a victory, and it will also increase popularity.
Xi Wei smiled: "Don't worry, the company has already started publicity." Boss, you can take a look on the Internet and you will know. ā
After chatting with Xi Wei's assistant for a while, Zhou Yi hung up the phone.
The roommates who were having dinner together all learned about this and congratulated Zhou Yi one after another. They also feel that Zhou Yi's hope of winning the award is indeed not small. After all, this is not a grand prize like Jinlonghua, and it is not so difficult to win the award.
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "You can't be happy too early. Who knows if you can get it? It can only be a matter of luck. ā
Young Qinglong said: "The Saturn Award is not a small award, it is quite famous in our country. ā
The roommates nodded.
For young newcomers, there are award nominations, and they have to steal the fun, what is not satisfied?
The roommates felt that Zhou Yi was too greedy, and he was simply looking forward to Shu.
Everyone can see that in fact, Zhou Yi wants to win the award, he is really a duplicitous person.
In the evening, when taking the "Audiovisual Language" class, Zhou Yi also took advantage of the recess to check the situation of the Saturn Award on the Internet, but he didn't expect this award to be very old, very old, and founded very early, as early as 1970 in the last century. The award aims to reward and promote the best science fiction and horror productions in the film and television field of the year, as well as outstanding works with breakthrough and innovative significance. Usually, the scope of nominations and the final result are film and television works or filmmakers that are deeply liked by the majority of fans.
In this way, this award will respect the preferences of the majority of fans, and will not engage in unpopularity, unconventionality, or favor.
With Zhou Yi's current fan popularity, there is indeed a possibility of winning awards.
Zhou Yi was very happy.
Since Zhengdong's acquisition, relying on the first film "Five Poison Gate", it has been shortlisted for the Golden Su Award and the Saturn Award in succession, which is indeed something worth celebrating. What more could you ask for for in a low-budget cult action movie?
The existence of these small prizes is indeed necessary. How many people can win the Golden Dragon Award and Huabiao Award every year, is it true that everyone else in the industry is watching? These small prizes can be used to share the cake with everyone, which is indeed a good way.
Now there is publicity on Zhengdong's official website and the artist's Weibo, and the atmosphere is very warm.
Especially Zhou Yi's Weibo is even more lively.
Now Zhou Yi's Weibo popularity is the highest among the artists in Zhengdong, and he belongs to the last, and his good looks are taking advantage of him, and he can't be envious.
This news has been reprinted instantly by many online media, at least Zhou Yi has seen a lot of news links. There are also media online voting predictions for the Best Young Actor Award at the Saturn Awards, and Zhou Yi's call for winning the award is indeed very high, and he is currently in the leading position, and many fans will vote to express their support for the idol. Many fans have left messages of congratulations on Zhou Yi's Weibo, looking forward to Zhou Yi's first professional award.
Sometimes, fans are more anxious than celebrities.
"Although it is not an industry award, it is already very good for the small-budget film "Five Poisons".
"Can His Royal Highness King Wen win the award?"
"Who can pack the ticket? It's up to you! ā
"I think there's hope. The phenomenal summer dark horse film has enough influence, and it is a cult category, creating a new model of action cult, there are indeed action and horror elements, it is not uncommon to win a newcomer award! Are there any newcomers who are more famous than His Highness in the same period? ā
"The Saturn Award is very respectful of public opinion, and it should be fine."
"Isn't 26 million fans a Saturn award?"
"I hope Your Highness can get an award, and having a prize and not being rewarded are two different things. Even if it's a Saturn award, it's an award! ā
"It's a pity that His Highness is not very old, otherwise it would be proper to get the award."
"If you're older, can you still win the Best Newcomer Award? It's the right age now. I wish His Highness the prize. ā
"His Royal Highness King Wen, for thousands of years; Wencheng Wude, dominate the rivers and lakes! ā
This message is too much, Zhou Yi is sweating a lot, but he is actually very happy.
After a cursory glance at the Weibo messages, Zhou Yi was very excited.
The fans are very enthusiastic, and there are not many black fans for the time being, so it feels really good.
In fact, Zhou Yi usually lives in a simple place, except for film promotion, he has been nesting in the film academy, does not show up often, and has no place to recruit black. And he has always had really excellent works come out, not like some stars in his previous life, there is nothing good about it, what's the use of just posting Weibo?
Now even if someone wants to hack Zhou Yi, they generally can't hack him.
Zhou Yi saw a lot of all kinds of black fans in his previous life, and he usually pays attention to his image.
Seeing the year-end awards season, the situation on Zhou Yi's side is in stark contrast to Zhao Yanqin's side, and I hope Zhao Juxing will not be angry. If he watched the film that made himself suffer Waterloo continue to win a bumper harvest at the awards, and the scenery is infinite, I really don't know what kind of mood he will have, he will definitely die of depression. Zhou Yi was secretly refreshed.
The little girls also quickly learned about it, and of course Zhou Yi would tell them.
They all want Zhou Yi to treat them and have a big meal, which can really make a fuss.
Do you still have to take classes? Eating a big meal can only wait until the weekend.
But this incident is indeed worth celebrating, after the evening class, Zhou Yi and his sister rehearsed the sketch more energetically.
After the rehearsal, when he returned to the dormitory in the evening, Zhou Yi first went to the public bathroom on this floor to take a cold shower. There are such convenient conditions in the dormitory, although the shower place is very small, but you can use it, otherwise when the classes are busy, everyone will not have time to go to the student bathroom to take a shower, of course not. After taking a shower, Zhou Yi logged in to the company's server in his room, ready to see how the movie was filmed.
The filming of Zamboanga's "Ace" crew, Zhou Yi has to care about one or two at any time.
After all, this is the company's first mid-range film, the investment is not small, and the quality must be guaranteed.
Problems can be found at any time and solved at any time.
After this period of shooting, a lot of shooting materials have been uploaded on the company's server, and the shooting is almost finished. According to the company's filming schedule, it is estimated that the crew will be able to return this weekend.
Then it's all Yanjing's local scenes.
If you feel that something is wrong with the shooting, you can make a final remedy on the weekend.
However, Zhou Yi watched a few pieces of shooting materials and felt that there was no problem, the shooting was really good, the scene was very realistic, it is estimated that a lot of money was spent on this, and there were many group performances, and the local community used a lot of manpower, and the opening scene was definitely not small. What is especially rare is that the scene of rescuing the hostages at the beginning of the film is indeed very exciting, and it is impeccable in professionalism, after all, there is on-site guidance from military experts.
In terms of shooting style, it is mainly realistic.
Zhou Yi felt that Director Zhao had done a good job, and after the fiasco of the previous blockbusters, he really learned a lot and learned a lot of things, and he did not pay the tuition in vain. Anyway, the tuition fee is not easy to pay, just practice it.
And the previous blockbuster failed miserably, and the problems in the script are not small, and Director Zhao can't be blamed entirely.
It seems that as long as he is given a good script, strict control, and full preparation, he can still direct.
Looking at the realistic style of these opening materials, it is indeed very similar to that.
The Philippine hostage-taking incident is actually not very easy to film, and the scene needs to be controlled, but Director Zhao really filmed it and did a good job.
Looking at these materials, Zhou Yi was very relieved.
The former Aurora Pictures has suffered a series of failures, but the company has indeed experienced a lot of talents.
Now that it's Zhou Yi's turn to pick peaches, can he not be happy?
