Chapter 545: Asian Filmmaker of the Year

Due to the dominance of screenwriters and producers, the space for TV drama actors to play is often constrained to a kind of templated and abnormal presentation.

For example, in "Prison Break", Miller was so calm and wise in the first season, but in the second season, he became stupid and stupid. There's no way, you have to act even if you know that the logic is off-line, unless you don't do it.

Chu Qing used the three-day cameo time to think about it, so he simply gave up the idea of warming up in the American drama and continued to devote his mind to "Looking for Midnight Kiss".

Although Wilson is Chinese, he grew up in the United States and is an authentic rotten banana. Temperament, speech, thinking, living habits, including casual quirks, are completely different from Chinese.

And Chu Qing's preparations, first, studied the script, second, watched a lot of Hollywood genre films, and third, went to the street to observe those humanoid creatures, so as to fit the role as soon as possible.

Jenny and Ann also helped a lot, they are college students themselves, and they have a unique understanding of young people today, so they accompany him to save lines when they have nothing to do.

Seeing that the boss's condition is getting better and better, Alex even promised to add the names of the girls to the list at the end of the film as a sign of gratitude.

In the blink of an eye, in October, Chu Qing had been immersed in the gestation stage before filming, but suddenly received a call from the company and had to return to Asia temporarily.

……

October 13, Seoul.

After 16 hours of long-distance flight and 17 hours of jet lag, Ya walked out of the airport with her groggy head on her head.

"Hello, Mr. Chu Qing!"

As soon as he appeared, a special Korean immediately stepped forward to greet him: "My name is Park In-yong, and the conference has appointed me to pick you up and serve as your interpreter for the past few days." ”

"Oh, hello. You have good Chinese. ”

He shook hands with the other party and got into the car with his luggage. Park In-yong still wanted to talk a few words, but seeing that his state was really scummy, he had to shut up and pretend to be a dog.

It is more than 400 kilometers from Seoul to Busan, and it takes about five hours to take the expressway. The thing slumped in his seat, squinting all the way. I don't know how long it took, I felt the speed of the car slow down, and then someone whispered:

"Sir! Mr! ”

"Hmm...... Arrived? He rubbed his eyes.

"Sorry, there are too many people attending the festival, and there is a lot of congestion in front. It's not far from the hotel, why don't we walk over first, the driver will bring the luggage later. Park In-yong asked for advice.

"Oh, okay!"

He just wanted to move when he pulled the door and jumped out of the car.

It is said that the Busan Film Festival was founded in 1996. This year marks the 11th edition, and the main venue was previously in Nampo-dong, but it has been changed to Haeundae from the 9th edition.

The so-called Haeundae is a seaside retreat place, nothing special, you can see Yalong Bay.

Park In-yong led the way in front, and Chu Qing followed unhurriedly, surrounded by buildings plastered with movie advertisements. There are also booths, booths, events and electronic music as far as the eye can see. It was full of black heads, and it seemed that tens of thousands of people had been squeezed in.

“……”

He was slightly surprised that a little-known Busan Film Festival could make such a big scene.

"It's a pity that you didn't see yesterday's opening ceremony, Mr. Ahn Sung-ki, Mr. Lee Byung-hun. Mr. Jung Woo-sung, directed by Bong Joon-ho...... Korea's best filmmakers are here. ”

Park In-yong was inexplicably excited, with a hint of self-satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, he introduced: "That is the venue of the Asian Movie Night...... This is the venue of the New Wave...... This is a venue for a panoramic view of Korean movies...... Oh. This is the trading hall of the Asian Film Market, which we launched this year. ”

"Is it a finished deal or a script idea?" Chu Qing became a little interested.

"We can do both, we have a total of 45 booths, and we have registered film and television companies in 30 countries."

"That's good!" He praised it from the bottom of his heart.

The Busan Film Festival is not a competition, but only a platform for communication and display, and the market occupies a large amount of content here, which is why so many companies come to sell films.

When Lao Jia filmed "Platform", he was also given a support fund of $10,000, so it is a very practical place. And he came to the exhibition, firstly, to receive the award, and secondly, "Crazy Stone" was selected as the closing film, so he had to give him face and reason.

"The hotel is in front of you, your room is facing the sea, the environment is very nice."

The two walked for six or seven minutes, and Park In-yong pointed to a building not far away and said, "I won't accompany you up, you can check in with the invitation." Tonight's event starts at seven o'clock, and I'll pick you up at six forty o'clock. ”

"Okay, thanks."

He said goodbye to the translator and entered the hotel door by himself.

It should be more than four stars, the interior decoration is very beautiful, and the place is spacious. The front desk lady was very busy, and there were seven or eight people around her, all of whom were assistants checking in.

To the left, there is an ordinary lounge, and on the right is an arch with a pattern of a cup. He estimated that he couldn't solve it in ten minutes, so he turned right directly, but as soon as he entered, he was dumbfounded.

"Xiao Xun?"

“……”

Zhou Gongzi was drinking tea with a man with short messy hair, and immediately turned his head and stammered: "You, why are you here?" ”

"I'm accepting the award, why are you here?"

"I'm here to promote the movie."

She blinked her eyes and introduced: "This is Ou Xueer, the director of "Mingming". ”

The man stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Chu, I have admired my name for a long time." ”

"Uh, hello."

Chu Qing's heart twitched, Emma, you are a woman! The style of painting is too capricious!

“……”

After such a meal, Zhou Gongzi gave him a blank look, God knows that you know and I know. The thing pretended to be stupid, and he put his ass to the side and asked, "How many days will you stay?" ”

"Three or four days, what about you?"

"Almost, I'll leave when Ning Hao and them come."

"Whoa!"

Zhou Gongzi pushed his tea over and asked, "What is your room?" ”

"Uh......"

He held the cup in one hand and took out the invitation in the other, and said, "407, facing the sea." ”

"I don't think I've got any." She blinked.

"I'm not going to change!"

He didn't even think about it, and just took the red letter.

“……”

Ou Xue'er was hesitant, not knowing that she should disappear. Or should it disappear, or should it disappear? Fortunately, Zhou Xun's assistant quickly ran back, and Chu Qing also went to check in, and the two sides separated for the time being.

……

The Busan Film Festival is made up of events in various sections, with only the New Wave section awarding the competition awards.

They have a very special honor. It is called the Asian Filmmaker of the Year Award, which is awarded to producers, directors, film festival planners and so on who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the Asian film industry and culture in that year.

That's what Chu Qing is all about.

Seven o'clock in the evening, outside the venue.

The lights are bright, the red carpet is straight, and fans are guarding the door, scanning the big and small stars like radar. Today is the Asian Movie Night, which is mainly in South Korea, plus China and Japan, to form a gathering of three countries.

Jin Donghu, chairman of the film festival. Vice Chairman An Shengji took the lead in the appearance, An Shengji and Liu Dehua filmed "Ink Attack", which is considered a senior in the circle.

After that, Lee Byung-hun, Choi Si-won, Moon Geun-young and others, these actors also won great cheers.

"Ahhh!!h

"Lee Joon-gi, I love you!"

"Lee Joon-gi! Lee Joon-gi! ”

When a certain man with long hair and thin eyes appeared, the atmosphere instantly soared to the highest point.

And Chu Qing was wearing a suit and went out with Zhou Xun leisurely. Along the way, they parted in front of the red carpet again. None of them are very popular in Korea. Only a small number of Chinese people attended.

Inside, the venue has been arranged in the form of a dinner party, with more than 20 round tables, covered with white cloth, and a high platform in front of it.

The two converge and find their name tags. Ou Xue'er, Park Renyong and others followed depressedly, and Zhou Gongzi sat down and asked, "Hey, what are you eating today?" ”

I didn't know about the goods, so I asked, "Hey, what are you going to eat today?" ”

“……”

Park In-yong twitched the corner of his eye. Yingdao: "It should be an abalone feast." ”

What a stingy feeling!

Zhou Gongzi pouted and said, "What else is there besides abalone in the abalone banquet?" ”

"And the abalone shell, it's like a crab feast in addition to crabs and ......"

"Chu Qingsang!"

Ya complained and vomited refreshingly, Leng Buding was interrupted, turned her head to look, a beautiful Japanese girl was poking at the back, and saluted: "I'm Aoi Yu, it's nice to meet you." ”

There is also a perverted yellow-haired guy who also saluted: "I am Ichihara Hayato." ”

"Oh, good evening!"

He hurriedly got up and said, "Are you going to go on stage later?" ”

"yes, let's come and say hello."

Yu Aoi showed those two small teeth, waved his hand and smiled: "It's inconvenient to disturb, let's go back to our seats first." ”

"Okay."

Looking at them, Zhou Gongzi struggled for a long time before he could hold back an appropriate adjective: "Japanese people speak English like this, are they so individual?" ”

"Well, most of them are like that, you get used to it......"

"Aoko!"

Immediately after, someone greeted again, this time it was Zhang Jiarui, the director of "Aromatic Journey".

"Yo Director Zhang, hello hello!"

The other party was older, and Zhou Xun also got up to greet him.

"Aromatic Journey" was strongly invited by the organizer to place the overseas premiere in Busan, and Xiao Chu was filming "Rush Hour 3", so he didn't follow.

A few people don't know each other well, so they go about their work after a few greetings. And it wasn't until this moment that the dinner officially began. Jin Donghu, who is nearly seventy years old, took the stage to deliver a speech, and two beauties stood below, one translated into English and the other into Chinese.

The two foodies didn't listen at all, they were studying the appetizer, and they couldn't do anything, so they could only mutter:

"Is that a spicy cabbage?"

"I feel like a white radish."

"It's all pickles anyway!"

Not long after, Kim Donghu got off the stage, and Lee Byung-hun went up to speak again as a representative of Korean actors.

"Today, we're honored to have a wonderful filmmaker."

Wen Genying, who served as the temporary host, wore a little white skirt and said: "As an actor and as an investor, he has achieved very brilliant achievements. As you know, the Busan International Film Festival has set up an award for Asia's Filmmaker of the Year......"

Before he finished speaking, the whole audience looked at that position.

The support project of film power is now quite famous in the East Asian literary and art circles. Last year's three films, "The Two of Us" swept down the Tokyo Film Queen, and "Crazy Stone" hit the box office of more than 100 million, which is still quite topical.

This year, it has doubled, six films, although it has not been officially unveiled, but the rumors of "Blind Mountain" have been released.

Everyone still remembers how "Blind Well" shocked the four seats, so much so that as soon as Li Yang's new work was completed, overseas filmmakers came to ask for the price.

The so-called Asian films are only China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Iran, and India, and if you go around these countries, in 2006, you will really win glory overseas and meet the requirements.

"How does it feel?"

Zhou Gongzi held his cheeks and squinted at him.

"Don't make a fuss!" Chu Qing was a little embarrassed.

"With his help, many potential new directors have been able to fulfill their film dreams. Out of our respect for him, before the official award, let's review his journey from the film industry for ten years. ”

As Wen Genying avoided the side, the big curtain on the wall slowly lit up, and Xiao Wu's appearance appeared first, staring numbly at the onlookers.

Then there is the motor, which carries the peony in the middle of the night.

followed by Cui Mingliang who sang, Da Gang who kicked the jar, Han Dong who cried bitterly, Song Jinming who limped, Silly Qiang who was arrogant, Wang Bo who was dying, and Li Tiangu who shot three times......

A one-minute short film, ten years of film life. (To be continued......)
