The next day, the major portals reported on the 33rd Academy Awards with large pages, headline specifications, and the focus of all reports was "Journey to the West", which is the biggest winner of this year's Golden Horse Awards, in addition to the best movie that slipped through the net and was won by "The Grandmaster", the best newcomer, screenwriter, supporting actor and actress, male and female actors, best director, etc. were won by the film coefficient, and won a total of 13 awards, setting a record for the most award-winning films at the Academy Awards.

Last night's awards party was wonderful, and it was rated as the most interesting one in the last 10 sessions, and the most eye-catching was of course Wang Xu and Zhuang Xiaodie, the fairy couple, who both won awards and envied others.

At the same time, Wang Xu held a celebration banquet, and nearly 100 friends from the performing arts circles in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan congratulated him on the spot. As the host, Wang Xu has infinite scenery and shuttles through the banquet hall.

Wong Kar-wai and Liang Chaowei also came, and Wang Xu was clinking glasses with the two.

"Sledgehammer, no, I should also call you Director Wang." Wong Kar-wai looked at Wang Xu and said with a smile: "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake is huge, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and the future is terrifying." ”

Wang Xu said modestly: "When I was filming "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", I studied and researched your films, and "The Grandmaster" gave me a lot of inspiration and inspiration. ”

Wang Xu admires Wong Kar-wai, a maverick director, and some directors can't be measured by the box office of the movie, which is Wong Kar-wai. In fact, most of his movies are losing money at the box office, and even most of the audience think that his movies are incomprehensible, such as "The Grandmaster", many people don't know what they are talking about after watching it once, but it does not affect the reputation of "The Grandmaster" in the circle, and it does not affect his status. Because Wong Kar-wai's film art achievements are very high, he is often used by film students to study. Many directors are influenced by it to some degree.

Take "Journey to the West" as an example, many people don't know that there is an obvious ridicule and imitation of Wong Kar-wai's movie "Chongqing Forest" in the film.

"If God could give me a chance to do it again, I would say three words to that girl I love you, and if I had to put a deadline on this love, I hope it is. 10,000 years. The imitation is what Takeshi Kaneshiro said in "Chongqing Forest": "If memory is a can, I hope this can will not expire, and if I have to add a day, I hope it is, 10,000 years." "What Fairy Zixia and Supreme Treasure said when they were fighting in the backyard of the Bull Demon King's house: "At that time, the sword was only 0.01 cm from my throat. But after a quarter of the incense, the mistress of the sword will fall in love with me completely" is also a parody of "Chongqing Forest": "At that time, the woman was only 0.01 cm away from me, and when I was 57 years old, I fell in love with her completely." ”

The director of the original version, Liu Zhenwei, is good friends with Wong Kar-wai, he calls himself. This was done because he couldn't get used to Wong Kar-wai's sullenness: "At that time, I just wanted to laugh at him, because the men and women in his movies have been in love for a long time, and they don't want to say a word of love, but they have to say a lot of nonsense." ”

One more digression, the screenwriter and director of "Journey to the West" are Liu Zhenwei, but in the subtitles of the film, the screenwriter is called "Ji'an". This is because Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai joked when they cooperated in the filming of "Mong Kok Carmen" and "Ghost Mission" that if they become popular in the future. The two of them will use the names of the characters in the play as pen names, one is Ji An, and the other is Kim McKee. As a result, Zhenwei later fulfilled his promise. But the King of Sunglasses disliked the name Kim McGee as too vulgar and refused to use it when he died.

Wong Kar-wai laughed and said, "Your movie is premiering on May 1st, right, remember to invite me, I also want to see the movies made by you young people." ”

"That's my pleasure." Wang Xu said with a smile: "You don't have to wait for the premiere, will you two be free from 10 am to noon tomorrow." I'm going to hold a screening at Golden Harvest Cinema in Causeway Bay. ”

"Yes, I'll fly to the sea tomorrow afternoon. I have time in the morning. Wong Kar-wai agreed to the invitation, and Liang Chaowei also agreed.

"Then I'll thank you two in advance. I'm going to invite other friends to be with me first. Wang Xu left with a high crime and went to invite Zhen Zaidan.

The audience of the "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" held this time included film dealers, stars and directors in the circle, and also invited reporters, film critics, columnists and 80 fans, a total of 200 people. "Journey to the West" also held a similar viewing party and achieved good results.

First of all, the film can get everyone's most intuitive opinions, and the final version of "Big Talk" was edited according to the ideas and opinions put forward by everyone at that viewing meeting, and secondly, a benefit is that through the mouths of moviegoers, the word-of-mouth of the film has spread before it is released. Of course, such a viewing will generally be a blockbuster, and the movie itself is of excellent quality, otherwise it would be a joke, and Golden Hammer Film and Television naturally has confidence in "Romance of the Dragon and Snake".

The next day, Zhen Tsai Dan postponed an activity in the morning and arrived at a small theater on the fourth floor of Golden Harvest Cinema in Causeway Bay half an hour early.

"Brother Dan, thank you for your support, please go inside and eat something first." Wang Xu was very happy, led Zhen Zaidan inside, and said, "I also want to ask Brother Dan for some guidance after watching the film." ”

Zhen Tsaidan said politely: "Don't dare to be!" ”

"Big brother, don't be like this, even if you think it's garbage after reading it, please say it directly, I feel a little personal expansion now, and I need a big brother like you to wake up."

Zhen Tsai Dan laughed and said, "Don't be modest, I have expectations for "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", and I look forward to you to surprise me." "If it wasn't for the expectation, he wouldn't have come. In recent years, the kung fu and martial arts movie market is actually not very good, Brother Chen Long is 60 years old, and he can play for a few years, Li Lianjie is in a half-rest state, the output of these two big brothers' movies is getting less and less, only he is still in the golden age of his acting career.

But even Donnie Yen himself doesn't have the confidence to say that every one of his movies is a box office hit, and now the film market is very prosperous, but it also means that the audience has more choices and likes to see something of a higher level. This puts forward higher requirements for practitioners, even if they are superstars like Donnie Yen, they must learn new things and pay attention to the latest developments of their peers.

Zhen Tsaidan had already paid attention to it when "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" was just being prepared, if it was other young people making kung fu movies, of course he would not be so interested, but Wang Xu is a demon. When he learned that the film had Chen Long involved, Tony Jia, and Wu Jing's performance, he was even more interested, so he came this time.

"Hey, Brother Dan, here!" Zhen Zaidan saw Wu Jing waving to him, and there were two big directors next to Wang Jing and John Woo. It's all old friends, Zhen Zaidan walked over quickly and joined them in the chat.

After a while, Liu Dehua, Zhou Yanfa, Liang Chaowei, Wong Kar-wai and other big brothers came one after another.

The guests arrived, and the staff sent a questionnaire to each guest, giving them some impressions after watching the movie, and of course the staff reminded them not to record or take pictures in it.

The guests entered the theater one after another, while Wang Xu and Wu Jing waited outside in order not to hinder everyone from watching the film. He and Wu Jingjing were closing their eyes and recuperating, but they were actually paying attention to the movements inside.

After about 10 minutes, Wang Xu heard the screams of someone inside, as well as the sound of applause. Both he and Wu Jing could finally relax.

The long 110 minutes have passed, the film has ended, and after another long 20 minutes, the door finally opened, and the first to come out were a man and two women, both seventeen or eighteen years old.

When the three of them saw Wu Jing, they shouted at Wang Chao together and gave a thumbs up.

Wang Xu asked, "How is it, is it good-looking?" ”

Before the three of them could answer, the fans who came out behind said: "It's very good-looking, it's so exciting." ”

"Wu Jing, you are so handsome, you and Zhang Jin are really excited to fight on the gambling boat!"

"The last match between Wang Chao and Tony Jia is exciting, I am so excited to watch it!"

Wang Xu and Wu Jing looked at each other and smiled, they knew that the film had won the love of fans and succeeded. At this time, Zhou Yanfa, Liu Dehua, Zhen Zaidan, Liang Chaowei, Wong Kar-wai, Wang Jing and other actors and directors came out one after another, and they were still exchanging their thoughts on the film with each other while walking.
