Chapter 266: Calm and Calm
"Oh, I didn't expect you to suddenly do this in front of so many people on the scene, this is not your character!" After Lin Yuquan sat down, Xu Jinglei lowered her voice and teased.
"Occasionally, besides, I'm not a youth idol, I don't have any idol baggage, no one can say that I can't be like this!" Lin Yuquan smiled softly.
"You're not a youth idol yet, you're now the most popular idol among young people in China, okay?" Xu Jinglei said funny.
"It's one thing to be sought after, it's another thing to position yourself as a youth idol, and the two are not necessarily related." Lin Yuquan shook his head, looked at Zhou Xun, who was walking to his seat after giving a speech on stage, and said: "It's time to award the actor of the year in the eyes of the director, I don't know which movie Chen Kun won the award." ”
"Hehe, I'm optimistic that he will win the award for his watch in "Painted Skin"." A smile appeared on Xu Jinglei's face.
"Me too." Lin Yuquan looked extremely confident, in this commendation conference, Chen Kun created a unique record, he was shortlisted for the actor of the year award in the eyes of the director with two nominations, namely "Painted Skin" and "The Ballad of Yunshui", and the other nominated was Wu Yanzu in "Night Banquet".
Last year's most influential films in China were undoubtedly "Painted Skin", "Night Banquet", "The City Full of Golden Armor", "The Ballad of Yunshui", "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", "Love Call Transfer", "Ink Attack" and other films, the main creators of these films naturally became popular candidates for major award ceremonies, like Chen Kun won two nominations this time with the excellent performance of the two films.
Of course, Lin Yuquan is more optimistic about Chen Kun, the two-to-one nomination itself represents the advantage occupied by Chen Kun, and the influence of "Painted Skin" is by no means comparable to "Night Banquet". There is another important point. Chen Kun is an actor from the mainland. Wu Yanzu is a Hong Kong actor, under the same conditions, the judges will naturally prefer Chen Kun, not to mention that the gap between the two is quite huge.
The award was presented to Wang Zhiwen, one of the few top actors in China, and it is completely justified for him to present this award.
"The winner is "Painted Skin", Chen Kun."
Really. When Wang Zhiwen read out the winners, almost all the directors on the scene smiled and applauded and looked at Chen Kun with an excited face, after the nomination came out, Chen Kun won the award in everyone's expectation, and it was unanimously agreed that winning the award with "Painted Skin" was also the most likely.
"Thank you, I'm very happy to get this award today, as Director Ning Hao and Zhou Xun said earlier, here, of course, I would like to thank Director Lin Yuquan first, thank you for giving me the opportunity to star in "Painted Skin". And the patient guidance given to me during the shooting has benefited me a lot. I also look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with you again, and secondly," Chen Kun said happily standing on the podium.
"Yo yo, it's all expected, if you guess it later, tonight will be the harvest night of "Painted Skin"." Xu Jinglei sighed.
"Of course I want to, but the next two awards are not so easy to win." Lin Yuquan smiled and shook his head, next, the only awards nominated for "Painted Skin" are Director of the Year and Film of the Year, compared to the actor award, his confidence in these two awards is not so much.
"Your biggest opponent is Jia Zhangke and his "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", but I still expect you to win at least one of the awards." Ning Hao said with a smile.
"I hope so!" Lin Yuquan smiled lightly, although his confidence is not so full, but his chance is still quite big, yes, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, which is very important in the hearts of domestic directors, which represents the high artistry of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", but in terms of influence, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" is not at the same level as "Painted Skin", and the Oscar Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design Awards are also more exciting for the Chinese people.
To be honest, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" is a very good and meaningful film, which always needs people to shoot, but from Lin Yuquan's point of view, he will never shoot such a film, not because the investment of 8 million yuan cannot be recovered, but because such a movie cannot be seen by the audience, a film that cannot be appreciated by the audience, and cannot be mobilized by the audience, even if it is artistic, even if it is extravagant, in Lin Yuquan's view, it is meaningless, in terms of practical significance, The films shot by Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Wang An'an and others have also won awards at major film festivals.
Maybe this seems to Lin Yuquan's narrow-mindedness, he only loves to make commercial films, but this is his attitude, he hopes that more people can see his films, and be moved, shocked, and excited
The winners of the two consecutive awards are all actors of "Painted Skin", and the arrangement of the commendation conference for this is also very interesting, after awarding the actor of the year in the eyes of the director, Zhang Liangying took the stage to sing the theme song of "Painted Skin" "Painted Heart".
After the song, the award continued, this time it was the Outstanding Contribution Award, the awarders were Teng Wenji and Zheng Dongtian, and the results came out quickly, the winner was Wu Yigong, the representative of the fourth generation of directors who won the award last time, and this time it was Wu Yigong's turn to be the leader of the fourth generation of directors.
As a big man, Wu Yigong has experienced countless big scenes, but he was recognized by the judges and directors, and won this award in front of hundreds of directors in three places, and this respected old-timer couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although the overall situation of Hong Kong and Taiwan films last year was not very optimistic, many good movies still emerged, such as "Baby Project", "I Want to Be Famous", "Father and Son", "Banishment", "Underworld 2: Harmony is Precious", "Wounded City", "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Silk", "Midsummer Light Year", "Auntie's Postmodern Life" and other films.
The three nominees this time are Xu Anhua's "Auntie's Postmodern Life", Tan Jiaming's "Father and Son", and Liu Guochang's "I Want to Be Famous".
Among them, Lin Yuquan is more optimistic about Xu Anhua and Tam Jiaming, one is a famous Hong Kong director, the most successful female director in the Chinese world, "Crazy Robbery", "The Story of Hu Yue", "Running to the Angry Sea", "Woman Forty", "Half Life", "A Thousand Words", "Man Forty", "Jade Guanyin", one after another She won awards at major film festivals, the most successful of which is the film "Woman Forty", which not only won the best film at the 15th Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, and the 32nd Taiwan Golden Horse Awards also won Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, and the Golden Horse Film Centennial Hall Award, Catholic Humanitarian Award, and other film awards are countless.
And this new work "Auntie's Postmodern Life", which brings together bright stars such as Zhou Yanfa, Siqin Gaowa, and Zhao Wei, also maintains the level of Xu Anhua as always, and has won a total of 9 nominations including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay at the Hong Kong Film Awards to be held in a few days, and is the favorite to win the award.
is optimistic about Xu Anhua not only because of the excellent quality of the movie, but also because of Xu Anhua's popularity and the fact that the film is invested by the mainland film company Poly Bona, with the participation of mainland actors such as Siqin Gaowa, Zhao Wei, and Shi Ke, which can invisibly add a lot of points to her.
is optimistic about Tam Jiaming is completely because of the success of "Father and Son", unlike Hui Anhua, this important director of Hong Kong New Wave films in the 80s of the last century is actually not too successful in his directorial career, and his most talked about place may be that his superb editing of "Mong Kok Carmen", "The True Story of A Fei" and "East Evil and West Poison" made Wong Kar-wai establish his status and style in the film industry, but since then he has retired early and retreated behind the scenes, if it were not for "Father and Son", I'm afraid that not many people still remember this director, who was recognized as the most talented director in the Hong Kong film industry.
It was this Tan Jiaming's new work "Father and Son" after 17 years that made him re-enter everyone's field of vision all of a sudden, and the reason is that this film won the best picture, best actor, and best supporting actor awards at the 43rd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards held in October last year, becoming the biggest winner of the night, and at the Hong Kong Film Awards held a few days later, this film that won the top 10 nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay is also a big favorite.
In comparison, Lin Yuquan is still more optimistic and prefers the film "Father and Son", without it, this film about the love between father and son is more touching than "Auntie's Postmodern Life".
"The winner is "Father and Son", Tan Jiaming."
In the warm applause at the scene, Xu Anhua shook hands with several people around him with a smile, and then walked towards the podium.
"Oh, I guessed right, "Father and Son" is the big winner of the Golden Horse Awards, you don't even support it, really, I regret it now!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"You think I'm you, I'm also a female director, of course I want to support Xu Anhua, doesn't Zhou Xun think the same way?" Xu Jinglei glanced at him.
"Actually, I just think that director Xu Anhua is more famous and easier to win awards." Zhou Xun said with a smile.
instantly made Xu Jinglei extremely aggrieved, and Lin Yuquan, Ning Hao, and Liu Ye, who were the victors, lowered their voices with smiles on their faces. (To be continued......) R1292
