Chapter 353

After the first episode of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, the sensational effect achieved was expected in the bright era.

As long as the back does not collapse, the title of a phenomenal variety show is gone.

A variety show with an investment of almost 100 million, if the word of mouth hits the street, the bright era should cry.

The show is still being recorded, but the hearts of the participating contestants are already hot, just the first episode has been broadcast, and two contestants have already become popular, and the rest of the debuts have also been upgraded from unknown to famous, and this star-making level is also top-notch.

Si Jing is the most controversial, and she is also the most famous, for two days, there are posts discussing Si Jing everywhere, which belongs to the black-red, black-red, and red.

However, with the broadcast of Tengxun Entertainment's interview with Si Jing, her passer-by fans and black-to-black-to-black-to-black fans have also increased, and public opinion has gradually reversed.

Especially after someone on the Internet broke out the reason for Si Jing's divorce, the pressure was transferred to Si Jing's ex-husband, and the public began to sympathize with Si Jing.

These Si Jing didn't take it to heart, and she also refused other interviews, concentrating on preparing for the next game.

Zhejiang Satellite TV picked up the hen that laid golden eggs, and advertisers took the initiative to seek cooperation and asked to advertise in the program "The Voice of China", which also made a lot of money.

Seeing that "The Voice of China" was on the right track, Gu Cancan also breathed a sigh of relief.

This show is a domestic hit again.

And it can be expected that as it becomes more and more popular, foreign countries will definitely pay attention to this variety show.

It's time for the bright era, just wait for the good news.

Gu Cancan withdrew his energy from "The Voice of China" and began to prepare his own movie.

During this time, while Gu Cancan was staring at the recording of "The Voice of China", he was also selecting the script.

Although a lot of Da Liu's sci-fi has been bought, it is not very easy to adapt it into a movie script, and the screenwriters have worked hard to adapt the script, but they have basically been vetoed by Gu Cancan.

"We can't make shoddy films, which are irresponsible to the audience and irresponsible to ourselves. If the adaptation is not good, it is better not to shoot it first. Gu Cancan's attitude was very clear.

The Chinese sci-fi film market is very fragile, and finally "The Sadder" has raised some hope for sci-fi movies from the public, and she is not willing to concoct a bad movie to fool the audience.

There is no suitable script for science fiction movies, and she doesn't like the script presented here by Gu Cancan.

Gu Cancan himself is writing a script, which is a war theme.

This script is Gu Cancan's original.

When it comes to war movies, people's first impression is that the main theme movie is subconsciously.

As long as it is the main theme film, many people will directly give a one-star bad review.

can't blame the audience for their low consciousness, the main theme movies made by some domestic directors are indeed rubbing the audience's IQ to the ground.

Gu Cancan clearly remembers that in the original time and space, the school where she worked once organized all the teachers and students to go to the cinema to watch a movie with the main theme "Warriors", which tells the story of the Red Army's capture of the Luding Bridge......

She wants to make a war film in the true sense, so that people can empathize with it, experience the bravery and sacrifice of the martyrs of their predecessors, and make people realize the cruelty of war.

The war script is not easy to write, Gu Cancan started writing it at the beginning of the year, and after a few months, he only wrote less than 50,000 words.

"Ahhh Gu Cancan threw the pen down and scratched his head vigorously.

Wang Xiaoxiao hugged her from behind, put her chin on Gu Cancan's shoulder, and said softly, "What's wrong?" Or is it that script? If you want me to say that you can't write, find a professional screenwriter. ”

"I'm afraid that the screenwriter won't understand what I mean, and the writing will be biased." Gu Cancan sighed: "But it's really too painful to write an article." ”

"I've wanted to ask you for a long time, why do you want to write a war-themed script, the war theme is not popular in China, right?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.

Movies with the theme of civil wars, except for the national team, few private companies shoot them, and they are thankless.

"I know, especially now that online public opinion is dominated by the Belt and Road Party, which belittles everything in the country for nothing. But the more this is the case, the more you have to make an excellent main theme movie. The main theme of the film is being filmed in every country, especially the United States, through which their universal view is promoted overseas. Such movies are also very popular in China. And the movies we make ourselves, but our own people have always belittled me, I'm not convinced, why? Gu Cancan said dissatisfiedly.

"Because you're from Huaxia." Wang Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "Now the atmosphere on the Internet has been reversed a little. Cancan, do you remember when we were fourteen or fifteen years old, in 05, there were really many spiritual foreigners on the Internet, and if you dared to say a word of Huaxia good on lΓΉn tΓ‘n at that time, a group of people would chase you and scold. ”

"This kind of person just lacks patriotic education."

"Okay, don't write it yet, I think you'd better write the synopsis of the story first, and ask your company's screenwriter to fill in the specific content." Wang Xiaoxiao watched Gu Cancan squeeze toothpaste, it took a few months to write such a little, and she couldn't help but suggest.

"Hey, let's talk about it, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Gu Cancan saved the document and turned off the computer.

Wang Xiaoxiao hugged the rhubarb on the side and asked curiously: "Cancan, are you taking a break this year and not making movies?" ”

"Shoot. I have two scripts that I like now, Xiaoxiao, you can help me counsel, one is a thriller, and the other is, well, it's a romance movie. ”

"That thriller is the "Horror Cruise" you told me before, what is a romance movie, tell me about the general plot." Wang Xiaoxiao was curious.

Gu Cancan walked to the bed, lay down lazily, and said slowly, "Yes." The script of "Horror Cruise" has already been written in the screenwriting department, and I am thinking about whether I should shoot it myself or find someone to shoot it. As for the romance film, the name is "Wrong Love for a Life", which is about the relationship between a pair of sisters and brothers who are not related by blood. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard this: ""Wrong Love for a Life"? Sister and brother love? This sounds a bit like an ethical drama, so let's shoot this. ”

"......" Gu Cancan glanced at Wang Xiaoxiao: "What kind of mentality do you have?" ”

"Hehe, Cancan, you said it yourself, you want to experience movies with different themes."

"I'll think about it again, let's go to sleep first."

The face of the person on the other side suddenly turned red.

"Hate ......"

……

Gu Cancan hasn't decided which one she wants to shoot, she has been off for a few months, and now she is really a little itchy.

However, before filming, she also had to participate in a film festival.

The 18th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has sent an invitation.

The movie "Heartbreaker" has a bumper box office reputation, and major film festivals have also handed olive branches.

At this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, "The Sadder" won many nominations such as Best Director, Best Feature Film, Best Actor, and Best Actress.

Gu Cancan actually wants to win the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award.

Don't underestimate the Golden Rooster Award, the Golden Rooster Award is the most authoritative and professional film award in mainland China.

Although, so far, the Golden Rooster Award has not yet opened its policy, and it has the same territorial protection as the Golden Image Awards, and Chinese films that have not won the dragon mark in the mainland cannot participate in the Golden Rooster Award selection, but after all, it is also the leading boss of the mainland film festival, and it is not a little bit stronger than the previous Beijing University Student International Film Festival.

As we all know, the Hundred Flowers Award is the audience award, the Golden Rooster Award is the expert award, and the Huabiao Award is the government award.

Now that Gu Cancan is fortunate to be shortlisted, her directing level has also been praised by experts.

The Golden Rooster Award was born in 1981, Hangzhou is the venue of the first Golden Rooster Awards, because it is the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is named the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award, with the golden rooster crying and inspiring filmmakers to smell the rooster and dance.

Unlike many film festivals that have a fixed location, the Golden Rooster Awards will be held in a different place every time, and the venue of this Golden Rooster Award is set up in Wuxi, Jiangsu.

Wuxi.

Night, hotel.

Wang Xiaoxiao was sitting on a chair and watching the TV series casually.

I watched it for a while.

Seeing that Gu Cancan hadn't come out of the bathroom yet, she couldn't help shouting: "Okay, don't stinky and beautiful!" Wang Qianyuan: They are all waiting for you to go out for supper! ”

"I said eldest sister, don't rush, come and help, this dress is tailor-made, I was reluctant to wear it before I came, thinking that I would walk the red carpet tomorrow, I will try it on once, you can help me see if it fits." Gu Cancan said.

"Cancan, when did you become so stinky and beautiful?"

Gu Cancan popped his head out and joked with a smile: "I've always been stinky and beautiful, have you only found out now?"

"Alas, you are dressed so beautifully, I am mediocre, I don't want to walk the red carpet with you." Wang Xiaoxiao sighed and went over to sort out Gu Cancan's clothes.

Gu Cancan was wearing a black evening dress, although the whole look was simple, but it was incomparably charming.

"Yes, simple but not simple, Cancan, you like to wear black clothes, I remember the last time I participated in the Beijing University Student Film Festival, you also wore a black look."

Gu Cancan said seriously: "This is tailor-made for me by fashion designer Peter, which is very in line with my temperament, low-key luxury and connotation."

Tao Hong asked suspiciously, "Peter?" Foreigner? ”

Gu Cancan smiled and said, "Huaxia people."

Wang Xiaoxiao muttered dissatisfiedly: "Since he is a tailor master in Huaxia, how can he return the name of the entire foreigner, Chongyang and flattery!"

"There's no one who does fashion design without a foreign name. However, this Peter's name is not good, and the spell that Tony has, it sounds like a hairstylist in a hair salon. ”

Listening to Gu Cancan's muttering a lot, Wang Xiaoxiao said angrily and funny: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, take off my dress and go downstairs to eat."

"Do you think I'll win the prize this time?" Gu Cancan nodded as he said, hung up the dress carefully, and asked.

"How do I know, it's just like that if you don't take it, anyway, our movies are all out."

Gu Cancan sighed: "I've been in the film industry for so long, and I haven't won a blockbuster award once!"

Wang Xiaoxiao asked slowly: "Hey, what if...... If you win the prize tomorrow, who are you going to thank? ”

"Thank you for the first one."

"Go, don't talk nonsense. I wasn't involved in your filming. Wang Xiaoxiao sighed, knowing that what Gu Cancan said was false, she was still very happy in her heart, "Seriously, you asked me to follow you to the film festival, I feel unjustifiable." ”

"Who said that there is no rule that you have to be a person in the entertainment industry to walk the red carpet, do you want me to walk the red carpet with a man? Okay, let's go, don't let Wang Qianyuan and them wait. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao actually wanted to go to Shanghai to discuss investment with a fund company.

However, there were still two days left at the agreed time, and Gu Cancan took her to Wuxi to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

Gu Cancan's plan is to appear in front of the public with Wang Xiaoxiao many times, leaving the public with the impression that the two are always together, after a long time, the two of them are always used to being together, and when the time comes, the relationship between the two will not be so abrupt and unacceptable.

called the assistant Wang Mengmeng, and several people went downstairs, Gu Cancan saw that except for Chen Zhiming, the other main actors in the crew were already there.

Gu Cancan first greeted Teacher Liu Lili, and then saw that there was no Chen Zhiming, and asked, "What about Teacher Chen?" ”

"Teacher Chen has gone to see a friend, let's go first." Wang Qianyuan said.

I found an elegant restaurant, and a few people chatted while eating.

Gu Cancan scratched his head, remembered one thing, and asked, "By the way, Mengmeng, who else was shortlisted for the best director this time?" ”

Wang Mengmeng hurriedly said: "There are also Feng Xiaogang, Chen Jiashang, Chen Kaige, and Cao Baoping." ”

Gu Cancan was stunned, these are all very powerful directors.

Gu Cancan didn't pay attention to the other nominees before, but now he knows that the opponents of this year's competition can be said to be famous directors.

"Which work is directed by Feng Xiaogang?" Gu Cancan thought that just with "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", you can also be nominated?

Wang Mengmeng explained: "It's "Assembly". ”

Gu Cancan suddenly realized that this movie can be said to be Feng Xiaogang's pinnacle, but hasn't it been released for several years?

"Cancan, you may not know that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are sometimes only held once every other year, so the movies of the year before last may also be selected." Liu Lili explained.

"I see, thank you, Mr. Liu." Gu Cancan smiled: "Okay, no matter who is nominated, I'm here, I wish all of us a successful start and all our wishes come true." ”

On May 7, the 18th Golden Rooster Film Festival closed.

The red carpet is rolled out from the gate to the roadside, and reporters and fans line up on both sides to welcome the arrival of the most gāo chÑo.

The red carpet of the Golden Rooster in the mainland is not as gorgeous as foreign film festivals, it is not only not popular, but also very traditional.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards, including Gu Cancan, Wang Qianyuan, etc., a total of more than 200 stars have walked through the Avenue of Stars.

To say that the most popular movie stars on the Avenue of Stars are neither well-known actors such as Wang Zhiwen and Liu Peiqi, nor well-known actresses such as Jiang Wenli and Yuan Quan, but Yao Chen, who became popular on the screen with "Wulin Gaiden" and "Very Perfect".

The image of this female star with a big mouth is running very well, and she has cooperated with Zhang Ziyi.

Yao Chen is here to compete for the Golden Rooster Award for "Best Supporting Actress" this time.

Gu Cancan didn't have a good impression of her, watching Yao Chen accept a large number of cheers, thinking that if you wait a few more years, you will know how far she can go.

Wang Xiaoxiao and Gu Cancan have walked the red carpet twice, and they can be regarded as experienced, and they are much calmer than before, waving their hands with a smile.

Then he stood still, twisted his body, and was slapped violently with a crackle.

Red carpet, gorgeous costumes, dreams, glory, palaces......

This kind of scene, even Wang Xiaoxiao's peaceful temperament, can't help but boil, it is a sense of trembling from the inside out.

The reporters were not surprised that Wang Xiaoxiao and Gu Cancan appeared together, the two had appeared together as early as the Venice and Beijing Film Festivals, but they were very curious about why Gu Cancan always took Wang Xiaoxiao on the red carpet together.

In this regard, Gu Cancan always smiled and played Tai Chi in the past.

Wang Xiaoxiao only feels that there is some glory on the red carpet, but in fact, for many artists and teachers whose careers are "actors" rather than "stars", a Golden Rooster nomination experience may be the most important and glorious moment of their life's acting career, in addition, there is no intersection with those glamorous stars.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the awards officially began.

Like the Shanghai Film Festival, the seating arrangement of the Golden Rooster Awards is very traditional, almost all of them are divided according to the crew, and each crew member is put together in a pile, and the crew is a group of seven people, all of whom are sitting in the same row, Gu Cancan is still on the very edge, and Wang Xiaoxiao is sitting in him.

"How can you be bright, do you have confidence?" Wang Xiaoxiao tilted her head and quietly bit her ear.

"It's about participation, my opponents are all great directors, and they have been operating their contacts for so many years." Gu Cancan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

Although there are always rumors that domestic awards are very watery and can be PR.

But when it comes to the level of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, this is actually very difficult.

"You have to have faith in yourself!"

"Hmm." Gu Cancan nodded.

To be honest, Gu Cancan said that it didn't matter, he was still very eager to win the award in his heart, and he was very nervous for a while.

But it's not true that she doesn't have confidence in herself at all, she just has to convince herself not to have too much hope, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

There are rumors in the entertainment industry that for a long time, the Golden Rooster Awards have judged acting skills from the perspective of experts, favoring niche films and unknown actors.

The earliest example is Liu Xiaoqing in the 80s.

In that era when television was not yet popular and movies were the main form of entertainment, she could be said to be the first movie star in the entire mainland of China, regardless of gender, so she repeatedly failed in the Golden Rooster Awards, and the only time she won the award was moved to tears.

So it's really hard to say whether Gu Cancan can win the best director this time.

Even if she doesn't win the award this time, it's not a shame to lose to their seniors.

There are many films nominated for the Golden Rooster Award this time, but most of them are names that Gu Cancan has never heard of, and several awards have been awarded on stage one after another, all of which are unpopular movies that she has never heard of.

Obviously, Gu Cancan's mentality this time is extremely different from the last time he joined in the excitement at the Beijing Film Festival.

She came this time with a competitive mentality.

As the award ceremony progressed, Gu Cancan felt that his mouth was always dry today, and he picked up a mineral water bottle to drink water from time to time to hide his panic and apprehension.

Just now, Yue Hong won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Golden Rooster Film Festival for her performance in "Let's See".

It's time for the Best Actress award.

Gu Cancan slowly calmed down, raised his eyes, and saw that the host was preparing to present the Best Actress Award.

The big screen flashed movie clips in turn, Liu Lili, Jiang Wenli, as well as Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhao Wei.

On the big screen at this time, the performances of the five candidates in the film were played in turn.

And the candidates in the audience have their own faces.

Zhao Wei was very serious, and Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi were smiling.

Gu Cancan quietly glanced at Liu Lili.

Only for a while, Liu Lili's face was full of tranquility and calmness.

Also, Mr. Liu has read all the personnel and won a lot of awards, and his personal mentality is very stable.

Seeing Teacher Liu's expression, she also slowly calmed down, and the feeling of nervousness disappeared a lot.

At the end, Liu Lili's mother in the movie "Heartbreaker" played the crazy and incoherent appearance of her son opposite the mother, and her extremely sad eyes, the audience invariably burst into applause.

After a while, the host opened the envelope and read slowly: "The winner of the 22nd Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress is...... Lily Liu! ”

"Whoa!"

The audience applauded warmly, paying tribute to this veteran actor with profound acting skills.

Won the prize!

Gu Cancan smiled very happily, hugged Teacher Liu Lili, watched Liu Lili walk slowly, slowly went on stage, and received the trophy and certificate.

"Thank you!"

Liu Lili looked at the trophy and smiled with satisfaction, she said slowly: "I am honored to receive this award. ”

"Thank you to my son, hehe, Wang Qianyuan, the actor of my son in the play, it is his steady performance in the play that drives the entire crew."

"Thanks to the writers and cinematography, you're all very good."

"Of course, the most important thing is to thank director Gu Cancan! The girl is very young, but her directing ability is very good, and I think the girl has a bright future in the directing industry! Thank you! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Gu Cancan grinned and couldn't help but smile.

I'm a little embarrassed to praise it.

"Whoa!" The audience gave Liu Lili warm applause.

The so-called Golden Rooster Trophy, as the name suggests, the trophy of the Golden Rooster Film Festival is a golden rooster with a neck singing, and this trophy is a bronze gold-plated golden rooster, which cries with a golden rooster and encourages filmmakers to smell the rooster and dance.

Gu Cancan looked at the trophy in Liu Lili's hand, and encouraged himself in his heart, I must also take one!

So far, a series of awards for costumes, editing, audio and other leftovers have ended, and the supporting actor and female supporting awards have also been lost to others, and the award for the heroine was won by Liu Lili.

After the heroine, it is naturally the award of the male lead.

Wang Qianyuan's face was as usual, but his hands involuntarily tidied up the neckline and tie of his suit, and smiled reservedly at the turned camera lens.

"There are ...... who won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor"
