The list of nominees for the 25th Golden Rooster Awards was announced on October 14, because "Huo Yuanjia" was not shortlisted for any nomination awards, so Ding Zhi and others did not notify Lin Yuquan of the results as soon as possible, and when he saw the report, he was already on the flight back to Kyoto.

This year, due to the reform of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, the Golden Rooster Award under the professional jury system and the Hundred Flowers Award with the audience voting system are held in turn, with the former being held in odd-numbered years and the latter being held in even-numbered years.

At this year's Golden Rooster Awards, for the first time in history, Hong Kong films were accepted to sign up for the competition, and "New Police Story" starring Cheng Long won four nominations on its first debut, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Video Four heavyweight awards, and this is also the first time that Hong Kong stars have been nominated for the first time.

Among them, the highest demand is Cheng Long's Best Actor Award, he will compete for the honor of actor with Pu Cunxi, Wu Jun, Luo Yuan, Dobujie and other actors, his biggest competitor is undoubtedly Pu Cunxi, who just won the best actor at the Huabiao Awards with his superb acting skills in the film "A Round of Bright Moon".

However, Cheng Long is still generally optimistic that he will be the winner of the last laugh, not only because of his wonderful performance in "New Police Story" and his strong popularity and influence, but more importantly, this year's Golden Rooster Awards will accept Hong Kong film registration for the first time, and awarding the best actor to Cheng Long in this meaningful year will be an obvious signal.

Of course, whether it is the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards, % or other film festivals, there will be more or less controversial places, and this year's Golden Rooster Awards will naturally be no exception.

For the mainland film market, 2004 is definitely a year worth mentioning. Because this year, a total of four domestic films broke 100 million at the box office. It is also the only four movies that broke 100 million. But except for "Ambush on All Sides", which was already signed up last year, none of the other three films were shortlisted.

Among them, Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year movies have never been recognized by the Golden Rooster Award, and the previous "A Sigh" and "Mobile Phone" were both unsuccessful, so this time Huayi Brothers did not register for "No Thieves in the World" at all, but poured the focus of the award on Lu Chuan's "Ke Ke Xili", hoping to win the heaviest Best Director and Best Feature Film Awards.

If this is excusable, it seems strange that "Kung Fu" and "Huo Yuanjia" have no harvest.

Take "Kung Fu" as an example, in previous years, it was because Hong Kong films were not eligible for the competition. However, according to the qualification conditions for this year's competition, films co-produced by mainland film production institutions and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan film production institutions can be submitted for this year's Golden Rooster Award Work Award, one of the investors of "Kung Fu" is Huayi Brothers, there is no doubt about the qualifications, but even "New Police Story" has been nominated, and "Kung Fu" has not been nominated for anything.

And "Huo Yuanjia", which created an amazing box office miracle overseas, was not even nominated for the directorial debut award, which made the Golden Rooster Award much criticized, take a look at the list of nominees, Wanma Caidan's "Quiet Mani Stone", Liu Hao's "A Big Pair of Sheep", Gu Changwei's "Peacock". Compared with Lin Yuquan, no matter who wins the award, it is unconvincing.

Even the media, which is well aware of the principles of the Golden Rooster Awards, can't help but feel sorry for Lin Yuquan. Although the Golden Rooster Award, as a professional jury award, has never considered the impact of box office and word-of-mouth, and only focuses on artistry, but without the participation of popular films, the influence and attention of the film festival itself will be greatly weakened, look at the films nominated this year, the most famous is Cheng Long's "New Police Story", and some other films are not even screened on the screen at all, how can such a quality of participating films support the name of the Golden Rooster Award, the three major awards ceremonies in the Chinese film industry.

Besides, Lin Yuquan's achievements last year really increased the popularity of the country and made outstanding contributions to the mainland film industry, so he should be commended and encouraged.

Regarding the complaints of the media and the public, Lin Yuquan seemed very calm, and he didn't mind too much about the non-nomination of the Golden Rooster Awards, such a result was actually completely expected, after all, the Golden Rooster Awards have never been waiting for commercial films.

He had heard it said before that the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards had two prejudices invisibly, one was that the high-grossing films with a hot market were inevitably popular and lacked artistry, and the other was that the films made by directors who were halfway out of the house were not works of art.

Now that he has all these two, others don't want to see him, he is naturally in love, and he is not alone, Feng Xiaogang is the same, and he has suffered much worse than him.

Of course, he doesn't mind, he is still faintly unhappy in his heart, not to mention other awards, but he didn't even get shortlisted for the directorial debut award, looking at last year's new director's works, which movie dares to say that it has achieved greater achievements and influence than "Huo Yuanjia", but such a film has not even been nominated.

Shaking his head, Lin Yuquan looked left and right, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Huang Bo and others were obviously not drunk last night, and they had not fully recovered until now, they were lazily leaning on the back of the chair, looking listless, and only Wang Luodan, who was sitting next to him, was looking out of the window with great interest, laughing from time to time.

As if sensing Lin Yuquan's gaze, Wang Luodan turned his head and blinked his eyes to look at Lin Yuquan, and was amused.

"Hey, can you be normal, it's been morning, what's worth your pleasure about?" Lin Yuquan said helplessly.

"It's nothing, it's just that after filming this time, I can finally go back to my hometown for a while, there is no trouble with study, and there is no worry about taking over the film, I can ride a horse and run wild on the vast grassland like before, and then shout loudly in the face of the wind, and then lie quietly on the grass and look at the emerald blue sky when I am tired." Wang Luodan's face was full of happiness with memories.

Lin Yuquan's mind came up with the scene described by Wang Luodan, and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Wow, that's great, listening to you say this, even I want to go to the Mongolian steppe, I've never been there!" ”

"If you want to go, go to it, for the sake of the income you have brought me in the past time, then I will invite you to eat the most authentic roast whole sheep and mare's milk wine, and keep your index finger moving, and the aftertaste is endless." Wang Luodan smiled brightly.

"You know you're going to have a treat, that's good. But the salary I gave you is hundreds of thousands. You actually sent me away with a mere roasted whole lamb and mare's milk wine. It's too picky! Lin Yuquan smiled even more.

"It's better than nothing, swallows and a few of them didn't say they wanted to have a treat, if you really don't want to, pull it down." Wang Luodan said with a smile, looking like he was eating Lin Yuquan.

"You're ruthless, but I don't have that much spare time to play recently, so I'll keep it in my account first, and I'll make it up when I have time to go later." Lin Yuquan really wanted to go shopping, but he was busy moving in the near future. After moving, rest for a few days, and get ready to prepare for the preliminary work of the next movie.

The experience of the first two films made him deeply realize that his attitude towards movies has a problem, and it seems that he is only making movies for the sake of making movies, and the purpose is extremely simple, lacking the rigorous and enthusiastic spirit of filmmakers.

But since rekindling his passion at the Kyoto University Student Film Festival, he has understood that what he wants to do, making movies he loves, making great movies, is simple. But he needs to change his previous self-righteousness and devote himself to it as a real filmmaker. It's no longer the nature of playing tickets, it's no longer simply about the box office or awards, but it brings the audience a feeling of satisfaction, just like when I was reluctant to blink my eyes in front of the TV.

"The beauty you think." Wang Luodan gave her a blank look.

"I think it's beautiful, so do you agree or not?"

"Can I say no? I've signed a deed of sale with the company for ten years, and I'm still afraid that you will hide me? Wang Luodan's expression was helpless, and his face was narrow.

"Just agree." Lin Yuquan directly ignored Wang Luodan's expression, and then said: "After going home today, have a good rest, nourish your spirits, tomorrow I need you coolies, come and move for me at that time, I will first explain that I am not reluctant to spend money to find a move, I just want you to see my house with me for the first time." ”

Originally, according to the traditional customs, the first thing to do is to choose a date, and there are still a lot of particulars, but he doesn't have time to toss slowly, he plans to move early, and there are still a bunch of things waiting for him after moving!

For this reason, Lin's father and Lin's mother also talked about him on the phone.

"No matter how high-sounding you say, you still can't hide the fact that you are a black-hearted capitalist." Wang Luodan pouted.

After getting off the plane, because he returned to Kyoto after such a long time, Lin Yuquan did not leave everyone to eat together, but just called Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin, explained the moving matter to the two, and then went home separately after greeting each other.

Of course, Lin Yuquan returned to the apartment he rented now, the lease term of this apartment will not expire until the end of the year, and after moving tomorrow, he doesn't plan to sublease it out for the remaining two and a half months, just wait for it to be empty, anyway, it has been empty for a much longer time than the days he has lived, and it will be handed over to the landlord directly when it expires.

As for why he didn't hand over the house tomorrow, he was too lazy to let the landlord pick up the bargain and earn two more months after renting it out!

After returning home, Lin Yuquan called Liu Yifei and Xiao Yang, who were currently idle at home in Kyoto, as soon as they had dinner, and the moving work was suitable for young people, so he didn't notify Ning Hao and Lao Xu, while Jiang Yan was filming in the crew of "Our Youth with Nowhere to Place", and he couldn't come back until the end of the month, so he could only miss tomorrow's move and the moving party later.

After making the call, Lin Yuquan cleaned up first, he couldn't wait for everyone to come over tomorrow and be busy, and there were still two girls among the few people, and some things were inconvenient for the two to see, uh, just men's underwear.

When it was almost time to clean up, he sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced as usual.

The next morning, Lin Yuquan, as before, went out early to exercise in the park, and practiced a boxing technique that was not so sharp, like Tai Chi.

After taking a shower, he sat on the sofa and read a book, waiting for a few people to arrive.

"Smack." A loud but very rhythmic knock sounded at the door.

"Who!" Lin Yuquan put down the book, got up and opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a delicate face full of sweet smiles.

"Brother Yuquan!" Liu Yifei, dressed in cool clothes, stood outside the door prettyly.

"It's Yifei, come in." Lin Yuquan smiled, and after Liu Yifei came in, he looked the girl's delicate curves up and down, with a smile in his eyes: "Tsk, it's really the eighteenth change of the female college, and the more it changes, the better it looks, it's completely different from the previous few months." ”

Under Lin Yuquan's gaze, Liu Yifei's face turned red, and he was a little uncomfortable, and he twisted: "Where is it?" I haven't changed, Brother Yuquan, you know to make fun of me. ”

"I'm really not joking, of course it's difficult for you to detect your subtle changes, but those of us who have met you after a few months have obvious feelings, if you don't believe it, you can ask Dandan later." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, he really didn't lie, compared to before, Liu Yifei has indeed changed, and he can't say the specifics, anyway, he is more attractive.

Liu Yifei's eyes as pure as spring water looked straight at him, as if he was telling whether he was lying or not.

"Why, you still don't believe me, weren't you a bun face before? Although it is still a bun face, it looks even more beautiful. Lin Yuquan said narrowly, because the baby fat on Yifei's face was more obvious before, so some people who disliked her called her Bun Face, for this Nizi, Bun Face is definitely a taboo.

"Brother Yuquan, you actually make fun of me like those people, I'm not a bun face!" Liu Yifei said angrily, looking more like a round snow-white bun like this.

"Actually, the nickname of Baozi is quite cute, and now many of your fans call you Little Baozi! Well, I'm not going to talk about it. Beckoning Liu Yifei to sit down, Lin Yuquan took a glass of water from a paper cup and handed it to her: "How is the harvest of reading at home recently?" ”

After pushing out the record, Liu Yifei stayed at home to read and study, because Liu's mother and Sister Chang failed to find a role suitable for her, so this can be said to be her longest study in recent years.

"I have gained a lot, I read the books "The Self-cultivation of Actors" and "The Basic Cultivation of Actors" that you recommended to me, Brother Yuquan, I agree with what is said in it, no actor is a thousand-faced person, can be all-encompassing, actor is always a profession that goes out, so I usually have to be good at grasping some of the tiniest feelings and details, recording it, and then using my imagination ......" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Lin Yuquan showed a pleased smile on his face: "Yes, next, I will pay attention to the role that suits you for you, what about you, or study with peace of mind, I have an idea, I am going to ask a professional teacher to teach you, after all, you have delayed too much time before." ”

In the acting department, the freshman and sophomore years are the busiest time for classes, and in the junior year, everyone starts to practice one after another, at this time there are very few courses, and in the senior year, there are basically no classes.

Therefore, for the students of the acting department, the freshman and sophomore years are the most important periods, but at that time, Liu Yifei was busy filming film and television dramas such as "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Love Winner", "May Love" and other film and television dramas, wasting a lot of study time.

Because of this, he asked Liu Yifei to start filming "Red Cliff" and polish himself.

"I know, Brother Yuquan." Liu Yifei nodded obediently.

It is said that it is more positive to help others do things than to do your own things, and this is true, the two did not wait long, Wang Luodan, Zhu Yawen, Xiao Yang, and Luo Jin arrived one after another.

"That's all you want to move?"

When the five of them saw Lin Yuquan's luggage packed and put in the room, they were all stunned, and then glared at Lin Yuquan angrily. (To be continued......)

ps: Maybe the Golden Rooster Award is not necessary, but as a turning point in the Golden Rooster Award, I think it is necessary to let everyone know, I hope to understand the original meaning of dragging. R1292
