Chapter 92: The Golden Rooster Award
The turmoil of "Invasion of Darkness" came and went quickly, and everything was back on track.
No one continued to dwell on this matter, and the media's attention shifted to Feng Xiaogang. The small steel cannon fired again, and this time the target of the cannon was the judges of the Golden Rooster Award.
"Mobile Phone" was the box office champion in 2003, quite popular with the audience, and in the Hundred Flowers Award voted by the audience, Feng Xiaogang, Ge Wei, Zhang Guoli, Fan Binbin, Xu Fan and others were all on the list. At the Golden Rooster Awards, he only won the supporting actor award and the technical surname awards such as fine art photography, and even the actor of "Mobile Phone" Ge Wei also handed in a blank slate.
Therefore, the Golden Rooster Award has been seriously questioned by the media, but Zhong Chengxiang, director of the Golden Rooster Award Jury, bluntly criticized "Mobile Phone" in the face of questions from the media: ""Mobile Phone" failed to make the audience rise from the senses to the sense of beauty, did not achieve the purpose of a harmonious family, society, and the times, and the cultural taste and style still need to be sublimated! ”
Feng Xiaogang is a violent temper, and when he heard this, he exploded, and in an interview, he directly compared the Golden Rooster Award to a menopausal woman: "It's like when I was young, I saw a young girl, I saw that she was very beautiful, and I especially wanted to pursue her." But she doesn't care about me. Things have changed, I grew up Chengren, and met this girl again, but found that she was already old, and the terrible thing was that she was catching up with menopause, but she loved to be coquettish, and thought she was a girl. Now, my mind is to avoid it! ”
The Golden Rooster Award has been questioned in recent years, and now Feng Xiaogang has taken the lead, so the media, film critics, and investors have appeared on the stage to expose and criticize the Golden Rooster Award, and the scolding was shocking for a while.
On September 25th, the Golden Rooster Award opened amid scolding and doubts.
The film "The Two of Us" received six nominations, namely Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. "The Two of Us" has a very good box office, a good reputation among the audience, and the addition of international awards, the highest demand, is the favorite to win the award.
In fact, Cheng Peng doesn't attach much importance to the Golden Rooster Awards, and frequent visitors to the three major film festivals like him don't pay much attention to domestic awards, and he signed up to win some awards for other people in the crew. Therefore, he took Tong Liyu, Jin Yaqin, and photographer Chen Shaoping to the scene of the award ceremony.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the entrance of the red carpet, I met the main creator of the movie "Mobile Phone", producer Wang Zhongjun, starring Ge Wei, Zhang Guoli, and Fan Binbin, but I didn't see director Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaogang has already compared the Golden Rooster Award to a menopausal woman, and if he still attends in this case, it is tantamount to slapping his own mouth.
Fan Binbin saw Cheng Peng and them, said hello to Wang Zhongjun, and walked over.
There is friction between companies, and it is normal to make small moves behind the scenes, but they will still cooperate when it is time to cooperate.
Fan Binbin and Cheng Peng said hello to them, and said half-jokingly: "Yaya, we are competing for the best supporting actress today, if you lose, don't be angry with me!" ”
She won the Hundred Flowers Award the day before yesterday with this role, and she is very confident in her performance, and she is determined to win the Golden Rooster Award.
Tong Liyu nodded with a smile and said, "I won't be so stingy." But if you win, Sister Binbin, you'll have to invite me to dinner! ”
"Okay, then we're done!"
Cheng Peng smiled: "Binbin, you are so confident, to be honest, I am more optimistic about Yaya, if you lose, don't blame Yaya!" ”
Fan Binbin was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sly light: "Commander, you are so unoptimistic about me?" I've just won the Hundred Flowers Shadow, or else we'll make a bet? ”
"Bet on what?"
"If I win Best Supporting Actress, you'll ask me to be the lead actor in your next movie. If I don't win it, I'll star it for free! ”
"It's late, the heroine of my next movie has already been decided, people can't be untrustworthy!"
"Ah, it's decided so early? So the next part of the next one, how about it, dare to bet? ”
Cheng Peng smiled and lowered his voice: "If you win, I will let you be the protagonist of the movie, if I win, how about you join our company?" ”
Fan Binbin's face couldn't help but change, he waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, no, I have a contract, and I don't want to leave Sister Hua!" ”
Cheng Peng laughed and said, "I'm joking, I see how nervous you are, if I win, you owe me a play, and you can't collect money when I look for you, how about it?" ”
Fan Binbin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, let's make a decision!" ”
After Cheng Peng and his entourage stepped into the venue, they were soon guided to their seats by a worker.
Sitting next to them is the crew of "Beautiful on 1 Sea", which also won six nominations, but did not see the heroine Wang Zuxian, and now Hong Kong and Taiwan actors at the Golden Rooster Awards cannot participate in the awards, and this rule will not change until 2005.
No, Cheng Peng saw the producer Xu Feng, Cheng Peng was a contestant at the Venice Film Festival, she was a judge, but I didn't expect everyone to compete on the same stage in half a month.
In Venice, Xu Feng and Scarlett Johansson voted for "Dark Invasion" alone, allowing "Dark Invasion" to enter the second round, although they did not win the award in the end, Cheng Peng was still very grateful.
Cheng Peng went over to say hello to her: "Sister Xu Feng, we meet again!" ”
Xu Feng said with a smile: "Xiaopeng, "The Two of Us" was filmed very well, but my "Beautiful on the 1 Sea" is not weak, don't think you have won!" ”
Cheng Peng believes this, after all, "Farewell My Concubine" was born in her hands, and he knew that if "The Two of Us" was not born, "Beautiful on the 1 Sea" would win many awards including Best Picture and Best Director, he smiled and said: "Of course, you are very strong opponents, it is normal for anyone to win and who loses, I hope there will be a result that everyone is satisfied with." ”
The award ceremony soon began, and the host Ni Ping appeared in the center of the stage wearing a black evening dress.
"Dear audience friends, what we are broadcasting live for you now is the award ceremony of the 20th China Film Golden Rooster Awards. I don't want to hide my feelings at this moment, what I want to tell you is that when I stand on this stage, my heart is full of happiness and joy, and this joy comes from the movie, from the audience, and from our great era. Today is a great festival that our filmmakers and our audience have been looking forward to for a year, so I would like to propose to all the friends present at the scene to wish us a complete success tonight with the warmest applause. ”
Hearing Ni Ping's familiar voice and tone, Cheng Peng had a feeling of being at the Spring Festival Gala, which was particularly cordial.
After the applause, Ni Ping continued: "Audience friends, the awards have officially begun, and the first award is the Best Supporting Actress Award, please invite the lottery guests Yuan Quan and Li Yapeng!" ”
Ni Ping's voice landed, and the music sounded immediately, Yuan Quan and Li Yapeng walked on the stage, Yuan Quan has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress twice, and has also been nominated for Best Actress twice, and is an actress with very good acting skills; And Li Yapeng became popular with the TV series "Carry Love to the End", and in the past two years, he has starred in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he is a popular student.
The image and temperament of the two are more compatible, but they lack a sense of tacit understanding, and after saying the dialogue like an endorsement, Yuan Quan smiled helplessly: "Let's take a look at the wonderful performances of these nominated actors!" ”
As her words fell, a collection of several nominated films began to appear on the big screen in the background of the stage: "The nominees for Best Supporting Actress at the 24th Golden Rooster Awards are, Tong Liyu "The Two of Us", Shen Huifen "Thrilling", Ai Liyu "On the Way to School", Qi Huan "Beauty Grass", Fan Binbin "Mobile Phone"! ”
Cheng Peng turned his head to glance at Tong Liyu and asked, "The answer is about to be revealed, are you nervous?" ”
"I'm not nervous at all, I've gained too much from this movie, and it doesn't matter if I can win an award or not!"
"It's good to think so, but I think you're going to win!"
Cheng Peng remembers very well that this year's Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress is vacant, which is the first time in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards, that is to say, the judges think that the other four people's performance nominations are okay, but none of them are at the level of winning the award, so Tong Lihui has the greatest hope.
After the film was finished, Li Yapeng opened the envelope, took out the list of winners, and read in his unique voice: "The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 24th Golden Rooster Awards is ......" Speaking of this, he kicked the list to Yuan Quan: "It's better for you to read!" ”
Yuan Quan smiled slightly, took the list and read: "Best Supporting Actress awarded, Tong Liyu!" ”
When Tong Liyu heard her name, her breathing almost stopped, she covered her face, and she couldn't believe that she had really won the award.
In the warm applause, Tong Liyu stood up, like a child who had a full score in the test, and said to his parents that the results seemed to be, and said to Cheng Peng: "Xiaopeng, I won the award, I really won the award!" ”
Cheng Peng grabbed her hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "Yes, you have won the award, go to the stage to receive the award!" ”
Tong Liyu walked to the stage with a sweet smile, took the trophy and certificate from the hands of the award presenters, stood in front of the microphone, took a breath, and said: "I'm very happy to get this award, my first film, thank the judges for giving me this award." I'm completely new and have no acting experience, but in filmmaking, everyone taught me a lot, let me know what acting is, and made me love acting. Thank you director, thank you Grandma Jin, thank you Sister Linlin, thank you everyone. I will work hard to put on a better performance! ”
The award ceremony continued, but the good fortune of "The Two of Us" did not last, and then it lost the Best Cinematography Award to Liang Ming, the cinematographer of "Ballet for Two".
Cheng Peng patted Chen Shaoping and comforted: "Shaoping, don't be sad, we will have opportunities in the future!" ”
Chen Shaoping said with a smile: "I'm not sad, it's just the Golden Rooster Award, the films I took charge of have won awards at the Berlin Film Festival, and the Golden Rooster Award is a matter of time!" ”
Cheng Peng nodded and didn't say anything more, he looked at Liang Ming, who was standing in the middle of the stage and giving his acceptance speech, and felt a little emotional. This person is the director of "The Lonely Ghost in the Black Mansion", although the movie now seems to have many shortcomings, but it shows a very high level in scene scheduling, lighting scheduling and the use of sound.
It is a pity that the movie "Lonely Ghost in a Black Mansion" was banned shortly after its release because it scared people to death, and Liang Ming did not become a director anymore and returned to his profession as a photographer. If it weren't for that, maybe Chinese horror films wouldn't be what they are now.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
Next, in the competition for the Best Screenplay Award, "The Two of Us" lost again and lost in the hands of "On the Way to School".
The awards were presented one by one, and the awards ceremony soon entered the award stage, starting with the Best Actress.
There is almost no suspense in this award, whether it is Zheng Zhenyao, the star of "Beauty on the 1 Sea", Tao Hong, the star of "Taekwondo", or Jiang Qinqin, the heroine of "Sister Dictionary", none of them can pose a threat to the old lady. (To be continued.) )
