"Oh, the list of nominees for the Golden Horse Awards is out, and this year seems to be much later than in previous years!" After a day's shooting, Lin Yuquan received a call from Ding Shui not long after returning to the hotel room.

"Well, it's been nearly half a month late, and it seems that there is a lot of disagreement on the part of the judges, so it has not been decided." Ding's hearty voice came from the phone.

"Differences, it seems that this year's nominee list is not simple, how about our films?" Lin Yuquan had a meaningful smile on his face.

"Hehe, it's very good."

As expected, director Li Yan's "Lust and Caution" won eleven shortlisted awards for best feature film, director, actor and actress, and became the biggest winner of the nomination list of this year's Golden Horse Awards.

However, the performance of "Painted Skin" is actually not inferior, and it has won a total of ten nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Art Design, Best Modeling Design, Best Action Design, Best Original Film Song, and it is also a big win, among which in the Best Actress, "Painted Skin" is shortlisted with two people at one time, Zhou Xun and Hao Lei will compete with Chen Chong "Yi", Yu Nan "Tuya's Marriage", and Tang Wei's "Lust Caution" for the actress award.

Not only his "Painted Skin", but Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" in the Dawning @ movie also achieved gratifying results, shortlisted for four nominations for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing, and Ning Hao was also shortlisted for Best Adapted Screenplay with last year's "Love Call Transfer".

It's a pity that Xu Jinglei is the one who has no results on the shortlist of this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Speaking of which, this year should be regarded as a shining year for mainland films and mainland filmmakers at the Golden Horse Awards. In the past, although Lin Yuquan, Ning Hao, Jiang Wen, Liu Ye, Li Bilu and others won awards at the Golden Horse Awards. But almost all of them are isolated phenomena. In addition to the nominations for his and Ning Hao's films, Wang An'an's "Tuya's Marriage" was shortlisted for Best Feature Film, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay, Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" was shortlisted for Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay, Zhao Benshan was shortlisted for Best Actor for "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots", Wu Jing and Fan Binbin were shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor and Actress for "The True Colors of Men" and "Ghost in My Heart" respectively, and Tang Wei was shortlisted for " Lust and Caution was shortlisted for Best Actress and Best New Actor. Li Yang, director of "Blind Well", was nominated for Best Director for "Blind Mountain", the second part of the "Blind" series completed after four years. There are a total of 26 nominations, which is unprecedented, and if you count the mainland-born, Chen Chong, who now lives in the United States, has 27 nominations.

"No wonder there are huge differences, so many mainland films and mainland filmmakers have been shortlisted, it's no wonder that there are no differences, after all, although the Golden Horse Awards are open, the most important thing is definitely Taiwan's local films, speaking of which, Jiao Xiongping, chairman of the jury of the new Golden Horse Awards, is really amazing!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"That's right." Ding Wei said approvingly.

"Best Drama, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress. Heh, there are quite a few awards for our films this time. Lin Yuquan chuckled. At last year's Golden Horse Awards, "Red Cliff", which had previously been a triumphant box office hit around the world, only won three innocuous nominations, and finally won only one award for best visual effects.

"Yes, I hope there will be a good result, but the difficulty is indeed a bit big, who let us be unlucky to bump into "Lust and Caution" this year, Li Yu has not made a Chinese film for several years, this time his return, the Golden Horse Awards will definitely support him, after all, he is a banner for Taiwanese filmmakers in the world today." Ding Wei said with a headache.

"That's for sure, the film festival has never been fair, the unspoken rules have always been objective, I just hope they don't go too far, otherwise." Lin Yuquan showed a chuckle on his face: "We won't play in the future." ”

Of course, Lin Yuquan hopes to win the award, because this is an affirmation of the unremitting efforts of him, all the main creators and crew members, and the actors, screenwriters, photographers, editors, and soundtrack artists really need such an honor to prove themselves, and they need such an honor to win a better career in acting.

In the film circle where unspoken rules prevail, Lin Yuquan does not expect the Golden Horse Awards to be absolutely fair, but it must be done in moderation, if it is too much, he will never allow it, because it is a humiliation for him and everyone to work hard.

"Hehe, it's not so strict, the Golden Horse Awards also know the scale, and since mainland filmmakers participated in the Golden Horse Awards, the results are also good, from this point of view, although the Golden Horse Awards have a regional tendency, it will never be too outrageous." Ding Zhidao.

"Well, I know, I'm just talking, at present, the Golden Horse Awards is indeed the highest gold award in the three places, the most inclusive, unlike the Academy Awards, which are only limited to Hong Kong films, and the people who nominate and win the award are those people over and over again, a place with an annual output of only more than 50 films and only 20 films released annually, such nominations and awards seem too petty, of course, the domestic Huabiao, Golden Rooster, and Baihua also have regional problems." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

The Golden Horse Award nomination harvest did not have much impact on Lin Yuquan, and as December approached, the main creators of "Hurricane Rescue" were also in Chris. Under the leadership of Anderson, he frequently shuttled through various promotional activities in North America, the United Kingdom, Japan and other places, but during this period, he really had no way to participate in it, so he could only speed up the filming progress of "Wild Story", strive to complete the filming as soon as possible before the end of November, and then put into the final stage of film release promotion.

Time passed day by day in Lin Yuquan's filming of "Wild Story" and paying attention to the publicity progress of "Hurricane Rescue", and when the time came to November 25th, after two months and ten days of shooting, it was finally time for "Wild Story" to be finished.

"cut, perfect, finished, thank you, everyone has worked hard for a while, haha, old rules, pack up props and equipment, we won't get drunk tonight......" Lin Yuquan, who was sitting in front of the viewfinder, got up and said loudly.

As his words fell, there was an immediate burst of cheers on the set, "Yay, that's great! "Oh, it's finally done." "Haha, I can finally go home."

"It seems that more than two months have suffocated everyone, haha." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Of course, staying in New Zealand all the time, everyone must be homesick, although we sometimes have holidays, but the holidays are too short, there is no time to travel between the United States and New Zealand." Brody standing beside Lin Yuquan. Jenner said.

"Hey, Brody, there's a place I want to correct you, it's not that we have a short vacation, it's that New Zealand is too far from the United States." Lin Yuquan said with a smile in his eyes.

"Hehe, that's right." Brody. Jenner laughed.

Can it not be far? It takes more than two hours to fly from Queen's Town to Oakland Airport, and it takes more than 12 hours from Oakland to Los Angeles, which is only the flight time of a straight flight, plus waiting at the airport, visas and many times need to transfer, often a unilateral need to take more than 20 hours, and they have a two-day holiday of course not enough to go back and forth.

In order to end the filming as soon as possible, during the filming in New Zealand, the crew also changed the holiday habits of the United States, only one day off a week, and couldn't go back to accompany the family anyway.

However, this does not mean that the filming of "Wild Story" is over.

"Brody, when I go back, the framing of the film will all be entrusted to you and Valley, you try to shoot as many shots as possible, and I'll pick and choose when the time comes." Lin Yuquan sincerely said to Brody. Jenner said, as Peter said. Like Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, Savage Tales will also involve a lot of natural environments that can show the style of the wild continent, some of which have been made by Guò Weta Digital's special effects, and most of which will be filmed in New Zealand.

"Lin, don't worry, I understand, you just have to invest in the promotion and release of "Hurricane Rescue", and hand it over to me and Valey." Brody. Jenner patted his chest.

"Ok, I trust you." Lin Yuquan smiled brightly, he has collaborated with the two of them in two movies in a row, and of course he knows the abilities of the two very well.

After the lively finale dinner, Lin Yuquan took a flight to Oakland Airport the next morning from Guò Queenstown Airport, and then took a flight to Los Angeles Airport at 15:45 local time to return to the United States.

Twelve hours later, at 9:00 a.m. local time in Los Angeles, the flight arrived at Los Angeles Airport.

"Whew." When he walked out of the pick-up gate, Lin Yuquan breathed a long sigh of relief, although he was not physically and mentally tired, but after nearly 20 hours of running, the time spent in the middle was indeed enough of a headache.

After leaving the airport, Lin Yuquan immediately turned on his mobile phone, and then called Chris. Anderson.

"Hey, Chris, I'm here, okay, I know, I'm going to go straight home, the interview will be done at my house, no makeup, I'm not an idol star, and it doesn't look ugly without makeup, well, that's all." (To be continued......) R1292
