Chapter 68: The Invitation of the Golden Statue
"Yan Zai, are you interested in going to the Academy Awards together tomorrow night?"
There was a burst of hearty laughter from Tsui Hark on the other end of the phone, who seemed to be in a good mood.
At this time, the Academy Awards were far less grand and attention-grabbing than later, and were more of an award in the industry. And the public is not very interested in this award. But after all, it is an affirmation of the film industry, so filmmakers are very happy to participate.
"Director, I seem to be in a good mood when I hear your tone! Have you been shortlisted for several awards? It is rare for Tsui Hark to say so much, and Lu Yan can guess somewhat.
Indeed, as Lu Yan guessed, "Shanghai Night" is not only a box office hit. In the eyes of film critics and industry insiders, it is also a rare masterpiece.
"Shanghai Night" was shortlisted for Best Film, Tsui Hark was also shortlisted for Best Director for this film, Zhang Aijia was shortlisted for Best Actress, Li Lizhen was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress and Best Newcomer, Zou Xiaosen was shortlisted for Best Editing, Ouyang Xingyi was shortlisted for "Shanghai Night", Huang Zhan was shortlisted for "Shanghai Night", and "Evening Wind" of Shanghai Night was shortlisted for Best Film Song......
There are a total of 14 awards at the current Academy Awards, and "Shanghai Night" has been shortlisted for nine. How can such a result not make people feel happy.
Even if Lu Yan guessed that "Shanghai Night" should be shortlisted, he never imagined that there would be so many.
"Director, congratulations!" Lu Yan congratulated from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that this movie also has its own efforts.
"How's it going, won't you come tomorrow night?"
Regarding Lu Yan's congratulations, Tsui Hark seemed to care more about whether Lu Yan would attend with him.
Lu Yan thought about it for a while, and then said, "Director, the shooting task on my side tomorrow is a bit big. ”
The reason for refusal is largely because Lu Yan hopes to win something when he sets foot in the Academy Awards ceremony for the first time. He didn't want to be a guest at the ceremony! And tomorrow's shooting schedule is indeed very large, plus Ke Shouliang and several people will go to participate. So he couldn't get out of the way, and he could only politely refuse Tsui Hark's invitation.
"Is that so? But tomorrow there should be a lot of people in your crew who will be invited to attend! I heard that Chow Yun-fat was also nominated for Best Actor for "Waiting for Dawn......"
When Tsui Hark received his shortlisted notice, the first person he thought of was Lu Yan. This "Shanghai Night", in addition to himself, Lu Yan has contributed the most. Therefore, he hoped to be able to bring Lu Yan to attend.
"I know, so I have control over Chow Yun-fat's role arrangement. The key is Leslie Cheung's side, I want to speed up the filming progress. ”
You can't stop the whole crew just because you're going to attend an Academy Awards. Lu Yan couldn't bear to refuse Tsui Hark like this, so in the end he could only come up with a way to say: "That's it!" If "Shanghai Night" wins big tomorrow night, you will definitely have to pay out of pocket, director! When the time comes, I'm going to have a big meal. ”
"Haha...... All right! You're also a director now, and there's a lot going on. Lu Yan's words made Xu Ke laugh. He is very confident that tomorrow night "Shanghai Night" will be the brightest superstar.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan lay on the bed and didn't think about it for long, then fell asleep. The filming in the past few days has made him somewhat exhausted, and the follow-up shooting will become difficult.
Shooting a gunfight movie is relatively hard. Although I have been filming literary dramas some time ago, sometimes literary dramas test the skills of actors more.
After all, he promised Leslie Cheung, so Lu Yan had already begun to arrange for the filming of him to begin.
There are many scene changes in the whole "True Colors of Heroes", so the entire crew has been running around. Fortunately, the shooting of those scenes running is not difficult, so everyone will not be too tired.
What makes Lu Yan a little helpless is that the scenes about Leslie Cheung are actually mostly wonderful scenes in the later stage. If he rashly shoots those shots, he is afraid that a few people will not be able to master them well.
For this reason, Lu Yancai specially filmed the footage of Leslie Cheung participating in police training.
"Director, ...... at night"
Chow Yun-fat came over, and Lu Yan got up with a smile and said, "I know!" I hope you will give me the little golden man who holds the actor back. ”
"Hehe, hopefully!" When Chow Yun-fat heard that Lu Yan already knew about this, he smiled and said: "Even if I can't get it back this time, I hope I can get it back with this "True Colors of Heroes"!" ”
"Brother Fa, I like what you say." Lu Yan hooked his arm on Chow Yun-fat's shoulder, and after this period of filming, everyone's feelings have been cultivated very well.
"Qiang Zai, you and Christopher Doyle must shoot these sets of shots well. Especially the barricade, be sure to shoot it. Lu Yan looked at Liu Weiqiang and a few of them and carefully admonished.
As for Leslie Cheung and Dillon, he had said it several times before filming.
Outside the training ground, Brother Hao said goodbye to A masterpiece. Applejack says, "Disappear regularly?" The word "again" expresses Brother Hao's countless stories and the younger brother's reluctance to give up on his brother. In addition to the lines, the details of this scene are also outstanding: the brothers' fight, Brother Hao's holding of Applejack, who almost fell into the sea, is another and more accurate rehearsal and symbol of the fate of the two in the future. "Brother Hao in the 'cage'" and "Brother Hao was 'taken away' by the police" are two obviously designed shots, indicating that Brother Hao is about to be arrested.
After the official start of filming, although Leslie Cheung's acting skills are still a little immature. But fortunately, with Dillon's old drama bones, it shows that the friendship between the two brothers is not much different. Especially when laughing and 'fighting', Dillon pulled Leslie Cheung's Lu Yan to deliberately ask the big camera to get closer.
"Director, Rong Shao is really beautiful when he wears a police uniform!" Chow Yun-fat, who was standing on the side, interjected teasingly.
Lu Yan saw that he had a very good grasp of several photographic scales, so he turned his head to Chow Yunfa and smiled: "Brother Fa, you are also a female killer!" ”
In fact, Lu Yan's biggest requirement for this set of shots is to shoot the meaning of it.
If you look at the scene of "Brother Hao in the 'Cage'" and the previous scene of "Applejack running by, the police appear", the audience will interpret another layer of meaning of the mesh in the former: it symbolizes the "estrangement" between Brother Hao and Applejack "thief and police".
And these foreshadowings will put the finishing touch to the movie.
"Director, look who's coming!" Chow Yun-fat, who was on the side, suddenly laughed out loud.
Lu Yanshun looked at it, but he was stunned.
Ke Shouliang stood on the side and looked at it, before he nudged Lu Yan and said, "Director, you should shout 'cut'!" ”
"Hmm. cut! ”
