Chapter 0488 - Awards

「……」

The public's evaluation of this movie is still very high, but the box office of this movie is indeed tepid, not that it is very low, but it is indeed not high.

Those who have seen it say that it is good, and those who have not seen it have also joined in the fun, thinking that this movie may be good, and no one jumped out and said, hey, this movie is so bad, at most there are some small flaws in this movie, but no one completely denies this movie.

was so tepid, and after about a week, it was finally revealed that the movie "Golden Age" was shortlisted for a number of awards at the Xiangjiang Film Awards.

Then the next night the awards were announced, and when the final results were announced, the box office of the film formed a form of growth against the trend.

The public loves to watch the excitement, not to mention, but also likes to mix their own corner in the excitement.

When the public comments on whether the film can win these awards, if you want to participate in the discussion, you must see what the film is about and what the quality is.

At the very least, even if you want to find the shortcomings of this movie, you have to go to the cinema and pick the bones from the eggs yourself.

And that's just the beginning. When the next night, when the Xiangjiang Film Festival began to award awards, the box office of the film reached a climax against the trend.

When it came to the moment of the actual award, Xu Hengzhou was very calm.

Nonsense, what's so bad about him, he's just the male protagonist in this movie, in fact, if you have to say it, I'm afraid you won't even be eligible for an award for Best Supporting Actor.

Although he is indeed a supporting role, the protagonist of this movie has to be Liu Yiqian, so it is Liu Yiqian who should be nervous, and he mainly plays a comforting role, and Liu Yiqian is indeed very nervous.

Liu Yiqian is expected to compete for the actress this time!

She never thought about this when she was filming, but recently, with the release of the movie, with everyone's praise for this movie and the improvement of the reputation of this movie, he suddenly felt everyone's praise for his glasses, and when this film was sent to major film festivals to participate in the exhibition, whether he could get the best actress was also very high!

She is both nervous and excited, especially tonight, the Academy Awards are about to start announcing the final awards, as a person who has been shortlisted for Best Actress, she is simply anxious at this time, waiting for the last minute of the trial, it is estimated that she can calm down, and then it will depend on the final result, and then decide whether to be happy or sad.

Fortunately, Xu Hengzhou was by his side, as a person who has won many awards over the years, this person is very experienced, and he explained to himself how to award the next item, and then what the bias of the jury was.

After listening to Xu Hengzhou's key analysis with herself, Liu Yiqian knew that she did have a great possibility of winning the award, but there was still a very strong competitor.

The protagonist of the movie "Dear", this protagonist sacrificed a lot for this movie, not only polished his appearance into a middle-aged woman, but also gained weight for this movie, and was very involved in the filming of this movie, it is said that it is difficult to play for a month after filming.

In the movie, not only a mother who lost her child, but also a woman who wants to find her child because she lost her child. In the process, even women who stumbled on their feet.

In short, it is a miserable acting, and acting in a direction that is completely inconsistent with the original image, this kind of role that breaks through the original image definitely requires very strong acting skills to play well.

So in fact, at the beginning of the release of this movie, there was a lot of discussion about whether the protagonist could get some awards.

Some people think that although she has broken through the original limit in this movie, her acting skills are not very amazing.

Even the acting skills of other actors who played supporting roles in the same group at the same time may be able to beat this leading actor.

But under the leadership of all the staff, her acting skills are still enough to watch, although it is said because

The acting skills of all the members are very good, and her acting skills in it belong to the relatively mediocre one, but she can be regarded as being taken away, and the overall quality of this movie is very good.

After Liu Yiqian heard Xu Hengzhou's analysis, she was not so nervous in an instant, and felt that she and the other party might be five or five points, and they would not be completely defeated, and the possibility of winning the award was still very high.

After all, she is really fully engaged in this movie, and it can be said that she has played her best acting skills since entering the industry, not only the director recognized her acting skills, but also the audience recognized her acting skills, and the judges also recognized her acting skills.

Even she herself is very proud of herself, she herself watched this movie later, and felt that her acting skills in this movie were really the pinnacle of her life, if she played another movie and a role, I am afraid it may not be able to compare with this movie.

Because she has done a lot of exercises and read a lot of information, she has a very deep understanding of the character of Xiao Hong, and she can empathize with this character.

Although she has been well protected since she was a child, she may seem a little naïve to outsiders, but she also has a feeling of drifting in this world.

Maybe others don't know, but she knows that there are many times when she thinks a lot of things in her heart.

Sometimes she is also very realistic, not that kind of reality, but just that he can actually understand everything.

She knew that many things were not as simple as she usually made them simpler.

In fact, these things are very complicated, and many things are interlinked and affect a lot of things, but she doesn't want to think about it.

It's like Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong really doesn't understand anything, doesn't understand anything?

She doesn't know that men are unreliable, and nothing in this world is as reliable as herself?

Are you not even reliable yourself?

She knew it, but she didn't want to think too much about the world.

She is actually a very simple person, but it is not that she is ignorant in her heart, so naïve.

She just wants to deal with all the complex things in the world in a simple way, and then return those complex feedback to her mind simply, and then deal with it simply again.

In the final analysis, she just has a pure heart for the world and a pure heart for herself.

She is authentic to herself and knows what she wants and what she doesn't want.

If you want to do it, then do it.

She is a very straightforward, very honest and very brave person.

Liu Yiqian has always wanted to be such a person, and she also practices her life in this way.

Because of this, because of this very core commonality, she can empathize with the character of Xiao Hong, and this empathy is very profound.

is so profound that sometimes, when she plays Xiao Hong, she feels that she is Xiao Hong herself, and she feels as if she has reached the era where Xiao Hong is.

experienced the things that Xiao Hong experienced, had those feelings and emotional reactions that empathized with Xiao Hong, made the things that Xiao Hong would do, and made the same choice as her.

So there will be a life with the same trajectory.

In this case, she was very captivated throughout the performance.

Although it is not like Xu Hengzhou before, it may be in the state of entering the drama from the moment he enters the crew to the end of filming.

That's crazy.

But as long as she is under the camera, as long as she knows that she is Xiao Hong, she can immediately bring it into the state, and she can immediately find that feeling.

In fact, no one can know their performance status better than the actor himself, so after a movie, whether the movie is good or not, in fact, the actor sometimes feels more deeply than the director.

Although she can't control the feeling of the whole movie at a macro level, she can grasp her own feelings.

She knows that the role she plays is brilliant, and she can also know whether the roles played by other actors are brilliant.

And in a film and television work, in fact, the characters are the core of the whole plot.

The characters are in the plot, and the characters are alive and the whole plot is alive, which will also make people have a more sense of substitution, impressive, and make people feel that this is a good film and television work.

So before the release of the movie "Golden Age", Liu Yiqian was actually not worried about the feedback after the release of the movie, of course, this is based on the whole movie, not worrying, for individuals, although they know that their performance is not bad, they are still a little apprehensive.

Just like now, although she knows that it is already a two-choice situation, the final result has not been determined, and the apprehension still exists.

But this apprehension quickly disappeared with the very quick announcement of the results of the Academy Awards that night.

「…… On the evening of April 19, the 34th Xiangjiang Film Awards were announced.

"Golden Age" won five awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Cinematography, becoming the biggest winner of the night.

And the actor was won by Liu Qingyun in "Eavesdropping 3".

Legendary director Xu Anhua won his fifth Academy Award for Best Director with "Golden Age". The previous four awards were "Running to the Angry Sea", "Woman Forty", "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" and "Sister Peach". Xu Anhua was very happy after winning the award, and admitted frankly that he was already very happy to be able to not die or get sick at this age.

But this award is still significant, recognizing people's pursuit and creativity, thanks to this encouragement, in today's ......

Liu Yiqian won the Best Actress, and "Golden Age" won two important awards: Best Director and Best Picture.

Many people are puzzled: "Golden Age" did not do well at the box office, why did the Academy Awards take such a fancy to it?

Xu Anhua himself knows that "Golden Age" is not appreciated by many people. Backstage, she said, "It's not necessarily a good film, but thanks to the Academy Awards for encouraging filmmakers to be creative and risk-taking, it means a lot." She also said that the next time she makes a movie, she may not choose to invest in such a large film with such a biased theme, so as not to make investors lose too much.

However, at the celebration banquet after the awards ceremony, Jiang Zhiqiang, the owner of Anle Pictures, the producer of "Golden Age", stressed to reporters that in the eyes of many Xiangjiang filmmakers and even ordinary audiences, "Golden Age" is indeed one of the best Chinese films last year

The acceptance and tolerance are very high."

He said that among today's Hong Kong directors, Chan Ho-sun and Hui Anhua have truly reached the "master" level, "Many people are still making things they are familiar with, but the two of them have gone beyond the scope of so-called Hong Kong films, and no matter what subject matter they shoot, it can no longer affect their creative space." When the outside world is still discussing "whether Hong Kong films are dead or not".

Jiang Zhiqiang felt that everyone's eyes were too limited: "As long as the Hong Kong filmmakers continue to make breakthroughs, Hong Kong Films will be fine!"

This was followed by the Asian Film Awards.

As the director of "Golden Age", which received 5 nominations, Xu Anhua also came to the award ceremony.

The box office of "Golden Age" was not very good after its release, but with the announcement of the film's 10 nominations for the Academy Awards not long ago, Director Xu's confidence returned.

Talking about his emotional works that have been nominated for many awards, Anhua Hui said: "I especially need the recognition of the film festival, and the nomination is a kind of compensation for me!"

But in fact, as Xu Anhua himself said, what he wants to win the most is the Best Screenwriter Award.

At this year's Asian Film Awards, "Golden Age" won 5 nominations, including Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay; And at the upcoming Academy Awards next month, the film won 10 nominations.

Speaking of this work, Anhua Hui gave this definition: "The biggest controversy is that the film is too "boring", which also made me doubt whether this kind of narrative experiment is correct.

Now, "Golden Age" has become a seed player in major film festivals, which makes Xu Anhua feel like he has finally met his soulmate. "Whether it's the Asian Film Awards or the Academy Awards, it's a professional filmmaker's affirmation of me, and for me, it's compensation." Interestingly, among all the awards, Xu Anhua did not want to win the Best Director Award the most, "Actually, what I want to win the most is the Best Screenplay Award, because Li Qiao has paid a lot for this story."

Director Anhua Hui herself has made a great wish to make a lifetime of short stories, hoping that she can be engaged in the directing profession for the rest of her life, as she wishes, and shoot countless short stories that are popular and talked about for everyone."
