Chapter Ninety-Three: Accidents
There are three Chinese actors who have won the actress in the three major film festivals, Maggie Cheung became the Berlin actress with "Ruan Lingyu" in 92, and became the Cannes actress with the French film "Clean" in 02; Gong Li became a Venice actress in 92 with "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit"; Xiao Fangfang became a Berlin actress in 94 with "Woman Forty".
The Old Lady is China's fourth actress at three major film festivals, and in Berlin she is tied with the new Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, and if this award is lost, the Golden Rooster Award will only become a joke.
Sure enough, in the next announcement results, Jin Yaqin won the Best Actress without surprise.
In the warm applause, Jin Yaqin stepped onto the podium and received the trophy from the hands of the award presenters.
Jin Yaqin stood in the center of the stage and said with some excitement: "I have acted in dramas all my life, 60 years of stage and TV series, I never thought that I would one day be on this stage to receive the award." But seriously, I'm 80 years old, the award doesn't mean much to me, I hope Xiaopeng and they can win more awards, they are all very good young people, very serious, especially hard-working, and especially able to endure hardships. They are very good young people, I hope you will support them more in the future, thank you! ”
Cheng Peng, Tong Liyu and Chen Shaoping in the audience were all very moved, the old lady didn't say how she was on stage, almost all of them were praising everyone, just like grandma praising her juniors in front of others.
Perhaps this is the mind of a true artist!
The subsequent award for Best Actor was taken away by Liu Ye, the actor of "Beauty Grass", although this movie was average, the actor's performance was quite good, and Liu Ye deserved to win the award.
Liu Ye stood in the center of the stage, with a happy smile on his face, and said: "Let me tell you a secret, when I won the Golden Rooster Awards in 1999, I was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "That Mountain, That Man is Hard Dog", and I was delusional to prepare an award speech, but I didn't win. That night, I swore that if I was nominated for the award in the future, I would definitely take out the award speech of the year, so I have memorized the award speech from time to time in recent years, and the acceptance speech is like this......"
In the laughter and applause, Liu Ye completed his acceptance speech, and walked off the stage happily holding the trophy and certificate of the Golden Rooster Award.
When the award presenters for Best Director, Tranquility and Chen Guoxing, opened the envelope and took out the list of winners, Cheng Peng was very calm, but Tong Liyu's breathing was a little short.
Tranquility announced with a smile: "The 24th Golden Rooster Award for Best Director, Cheng Peng!" ”
Tong Liyu let out a cheer and jumped up from his seat, more excited than he won the award: "Xiaopeng, you have won the award!" ”
"Congratulations, Xiaopeng!"
"Haha, Xiaopeng, the Best Director Award has been won!"
The other crews around also stood up and applauded and congratulated Cheng Peng, Cheng Peng is only twenty-four years old and should be the youngest best director in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards.
The award presenters are two film masters, Xie Fei and Hou Xiaoxian, director Xie Fei has not made many movies, but he has won a golden bear and a silver bear; Director Hou Hsiao-hsien is a frequent visitor to the three major film festivals and has won the Golden Lion in Venice.
It is the highest honor to be able to receive the trophy from their hands, Cheng Peng shook Hou Xiaoxian's hand with a smile and said, "Thank you, Director Hou Xiaoxian!" ”
"The movie was made very well, keep up the good work!"
"Thank you, I won't slack off, I will continue to work hard!"
Xie Fei shook Cheng Peng's hand, handed him the trophy, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are going to come to our school's college lecture hall to give a lecture after the National Day, and I will come to learn from you when the time comes!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the boy has an axe, and when the time comes, I will ask you to give me a lot of advice!"
Xie Fei and Hou Xiaoxian didn't say anything more and withdrew from the stage.
Cheng Peng came to the microphone in the middle of the stage, looked at the crowd with a standing ovation, and said with a bright smile on his face: "I am very happy to win this award!" This is my first film and I will continue to work hard, thank you! ”
The award of the best director also means that the awards ceremony has entered the final link, and the biggest award, the best feature film award, is about to be announced.
"The Two of Us" is the biggest favorite in this award, and there are only three opponents: "Beautiful Shanghai", "Thrilling", and "Ambush on All Sides". "Ambush on All Sides" is a bad review for both the audience and the film critics, and it is already very unexpected to be nominated, and it is almost impossible to win the award; "Thrilling" is the main theme movie made by Bayi Factory, which has not been released yet, and there is little hope of winning the award; And "Beautiful on 1 Sea" has not yet been released, and many people don't know what this movie is like, but this movie only won the Best Actress Award at the Magic Capital Film Festival, and it definitely can't be compared with "The Two of Us", which won three awards in Berlin.
Tong Liyu said confidently: "This award must also be ours!" ”
Cheng Peng smiled: "This is not for sure, this is the Golden Rooster Award, anything can happen." ”
"No, our film has won so many awards abroad, and the audience likes it too, how can we lose!" Tong Liyu raised the Golden Rooster trophy in his hand and said with a smile, "If you lose, I don't want this award either, I threw the trophy away!" ”
Cheng Peng patted Tong Liyu's head lightly and said with a smile: "Fool, what nonsense!" Of course we won't lose, and even if we do, we are not allowed to do so, because others will say that we can't afford to lose! ”
The lottery guests Li Lianjie and Liang Chaowei didn't talk much nonsense, and after complimenting each other, Liang Chaowei opened the envelope in his hand, took out the list of winners and handed it to Li Lianjie, and then looked at each other and smiled.
Li Lianjie looked at the list, gave the list to Liang Chaowei again, and said with a smile: "It's better for you to come!" ”
On the big screen, there was a picture of the four crews on the scene, only Zhang Weiping and the crew of "Ambush on All Sides" were present, the director Zhang Yimou was not present, Zhang Weiping looked indifferent, he knew that it was almost impossible to win the award; The main creators of the crews of "Beautiful Shanghai" and "Thrilling" are looking forward to it; And Cheng Peng was smiling, his expression was indifferent, and he looked confident.
"The winner of the best feature film is ......" Liang Chaowei deliberately hung everyone's appetite and stopped at the most critical time, which also made several candidates a little frightened.
"I'm not good at Mandarin, I'm afraid everyone won't understand!" Liang Chaowei laughed at himself and said to Li Lianjie next to him, "It's better for you to come!" ”
Li Lianjie laughed, moved the microphone to his side, and announced loudly: "Best feature film, "Beauty on the 1st Sea"! ”
The picture of "Beautiful on the 1st Sea" on the big screen expanded rapidly, occupying the entire screen, and the entire crew stood up, cheering and hugging.
The audience at the scene was almost stunned, almost everyone thought that "The Two of Us" would win, no one thought that it would be this result, it was really an unexpected result, but after a short pause, the audience still applauded.
Tong Liyu couldn't believe her ears: "How can this be?" ”
Chen Shaoping snorted and said very unconvinced: "This is clearly a balance, divide pork, I don't believe that their movies will be better than ours!" ”
Jin Yaqin was not surprised by this kind of thing, and comforted: "Xiaopeng, don't be sad, you are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future." Come up with better works and convince these people! ”
"Mr. Jin, I'm fine, you can get the award, you can get it, and if you can't, it's nothing, the important thing is the audience, as long as the audience likes it!" Cheng Peng shook his head with a smile, feeling that his mouth was about to catch up with Bailey, and he really lost......
The Golden Rooster Awards have been widely questioned by the audience and the media in recent years, the selection of fake tickets is rampant, and the films that have not yet appeared can win the award in a grand manner, the most bizarre is the 2000 Golden Rooster Awards, there are 3 films tied for the best feature film award.
There are also a lot of problems this year, the cinematography level of "Ambush on All Sides" is extremely superb, and Cheng Peng knows that cinematographer Zhao Xiaoding will be nominated for the Oscar for Best Cinematography next year with "Ambush on All Sides". The Oscars were able to be shortlisted for photography, and the Golden Rooster Award was not even nominated.
The script of "Ambush on All Sides" has a lot of hard flaws, and the completion of the movie is very poor, due to [***], the movie started relatively late, and it snowed in Ukraine before the movie was finished, so there was a very strange scene in the movie, there was originally a green around, but Liu Dehua and Jincheng Dance were fighting and it suddenly snowed heavily. is such a problematic movie, but it was nominated for Best Picture.
What should have been mentioned was not mentioned, and what should not be mentioned was mentioned again, the problem of the Golden Rooster Award can be seen from this, and it is normal to be questioned.
When the crew of "Beautiful on 1 Sea" passed by, Cheng Peng stood up with a smile and congratulated Xu Feng with a smile: "Congratulations, Sister Xu Feng!" ”
"Thank you, Xiaopeng!" Xu Feng smiled and nodded, she was a little surprised, Cheng Peng was not disappointed, but took the initiative to come over to congratulate, this young man has the demeanor of a general.
Cheng Peng didn't take the Best Feature Film Award to heart, but the media reacted quite strongly, the media is firing fiercely at the Golden Rooster Awards in the past few days, and now there are new bullets.
"The judges of the Golden Rooster Awards are too old, their aesthetics can't keep up with the times, and Chinese films need a new film language, a new way of storytelling, and a new way of expressing film consciousness. However, most of the judges are old-fashioned, and their concepts, visions, and aesthetics are very old-fashioned, so the films selected in this way are naturally traditional and lack of innovation! ”
"When I was at the Magic Capital Film Festival, I watched "Beautiful on 1 Sea", I think there are too many TV dramas in it, and there is no breakthrough in film art, and this movie can beat the well-received "The Two of Us", which is really unexpected!"
"Among the 4 candidate films nominated for Best Picture, "Beautiful on 1 Sea" and "Thrilling" were not officially released nationwide, and "The Two of Us", which was well received by the audience, was not selected, but a movie that everyone had not seen, is the Golden Rooster Award going to stand opposite the audience?"
The reporters have not recovered from the defeat at the Golden Rooster Awards in "The Two of Us", and a notice from radio and television made them boil again.
"Ambush on All Sides" will represent Chinese mainland in the competition for Best Foreign Chinese at next year's Oscars!
The media was in an uproar, everyone thought that radio and television were crazy, and the stinky reputation of "Ambush on All Sides" was actually sent out to participate in the Oscars, are you a fool to be an Oscar judge, isn't this a shame for Chinese films?
Cheng Peng is very calm, this result was expected as early as possible, there are too many similar things, 07 years the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television chose "Golden Armor", there was no Venice Golden Lion Award film "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", the result made "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" defeated under Venice "Eavesdropping Storm" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film; In 08, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television chose "The Ballad of Yunshui", and there was no Berlin Golden Bear Award for the film "Tuya's Marriage", which made "Tuya's Marriage" lose under Berlin and "Beaufort" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
In fact, it's not that China doesn't have films that can win Oscars, it's just that the films that can win awards are not given away. (To be continued.) )
