Chapter 106: Anger
Shen Xudong's coming to participate in the Academy Awards is of course a big deal!
Nowadays, co-production is the general trend, and it is easy to find investors in the mainland, but there are too few investors with strong resources and professional resources.
Therefore, those Hong Kong filmmakers who think they have quality, as long as they talk about co-production, the first thing that comes to mind is Huayi and Bona.
Later, light was added, LeTV...
After successfully operating several co-productions, Tianmei Media also entered the scope of sight, and later, Shen Xudong's acquisition of Golden Harvest became the mainstream channel for co-productions.
It's just that they shoot more on their own...
There are directors and actors who work with themselves.
You like Wang Jing's "Sharpshooter and Zhiduoxing", "Seven Captures, Seven Verticals, Seven Colored Wolves", "Crazy Fan King", "Beauty God of Food", "Sparrow Saint 3: Self-Draw 300 Times" basically does not have the participation of Golden Harvest...
It's not pleasant to have trouble with the flag-bearer of the Hong Kong circle at this stage...
Even has little to do with Zeng Zhiwei.
It's a bit independent and the meaning of the Hong Kong circle.
Therefore, those companies joined forces to resist Golden Harvest, and many filmmakers in Hong Kong secretly applauded it.
"Crazy Stone" was nominated for Best Asian Film along with "Monster of the Han River", "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", "Death Note" and a Singaporean film "Children Are Not Stupid 2"...
To be honest, no one cares about this award...
Judging from the declining trend of the Hong Kong film industry, no one will care about it in the future...
Even so, it is unlikely that it will be awarded to "Crazy Stone".
After all, "Stone" was not popular in Hong Kong...
Ning Hao should also know this fact, so it is purely the mentality of leisure travel, listening to Shen Xudong say that "Racing" is scheduled for the New Year, he is a little nervous: "This year's New Year file has "Vote for Fame" and "Mobile Phone 2"..."
"It's okay, we'll release it at the end of November..."
Shen Xudong is full of confidence in "Racing"... The original time and space were released at the same time as "Happy Family 2009" and "Dragon and Phoenix", and the box office could exceed 100 million.
Ning Hao is not a boss yet, and he doesn't know much about publicity and distribution, since Shen Xudong said the New Year, then the New Year.
Shen Xudong then asked: "When will "The Tuner" be filmed? ”
“… Can you wait until after the release of "Racing"? ”
Shen Xudong glanced at him, and then said: "Feng Xiaogang has two plays a year, I don't ask you to make two plays a year, one a year is the bottom line." ”
“… Then when I finish the later stage of "Racing", it is estimated that filming will start in August..."
"July!"
“… It's too urgent! ”
"I'll give you a director fee of 5 million or 1 million + 8% profit share this time!"
“… I'm working hard..."
……
Ning Hao needs money... He changed his house again, located in Ziyu Villa, Shen Xudong sold cheaply - no matter how cheap it was, it cost 12 million...
He's half off the mortgage!
A few people walked into the hall and sat down with a familiar person.
In other words, the seating arrangement of the Academy Awards is strange, not according to the crew, and the shortlisted stars of each list are put together in a bunch...
The shortlist, the protagonist sits with the protagonist, and the supporting character sits with the supporting role...
Of course, like "Stone", no one pays attention to it, just sit casually, Shen Xudong sat down next to Yang Shoucheng, this year's Emperor's "Yin Sabela" and "Ghost Dragon" have won a lot of nominations...
The Emperor is one of the few allies of Shen Xudong in Hong Kong.
The two sides have collaborated on a lot of movies, and the TV series also has "Myth", Lao Yang knows that the mainland is remaking the four famous novels, and Ya is very interested in "Dream of Red Mansions".
Together with BJ Satellite TV, China Film and Xin Baoyuan, he planned the casting activity of the variety show audition "Dream of Red Mansions"...
In March, BJ TV, China Film Group, Emperor Group and Xin Baoyuan announced in Beijing that the BJ China Film Emperor Performing Arts Agency, which was jointly established by these four companies, was officially listed: the outstanding contestants of the Dream of Red Mansions talent show will sign with the agency.
That's right, this brokerage company specializes in casting characters in Dream of Red Mansions.
Yang Shoucheng also wanted to find Shen Xudong together, and Shen Xudong stayed away from 'Dream of Red Mansions'...
Whoever gets involved with this thing will make a fuss!
"I don't really like 'Dream of Red Mansions'... Among the four famous novels, I like "Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" the most..."
"I haven't heard that you're going to remake "Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West"?"
“… I'm not making a "Three Kingdoms" movie, and the "Journey to the West" movie must also be done..."
The two were chatting, and Xiang Huaqiang sat down - the producer of "Underworld 2: Peace is Precious" is Galaxy Imaging, but the investor is a Chinese star...
By the way, after Galaxy Imaging "Underworld", he separated from China Star - Johnny To is actively looking for new investors to invest, and there are two owners who cooperate closely: one is Sunny Media (investing in Galaxy Imaging works "Tracking" and "Butterfly Flying"), and the other is Media Asia (producing Galaxy Imaging films "Exile", "Whenever Change", "Iron Triangle")...
Oh, Shen Xudong and Yang Shoucheng both like art - Lao Yang's lust has already been put on the table!
In addition to this, the two of them have another thing in common: they are not familiar with Xiang Huaqiang, and they don't want to be familiar with it!
Xiang Huaqiang probably knew that Shen Xudong didn't want to see him, and he didn't mean to take the initiative to make friends, so he nodded and sat down...
The awards also began.
……
"The annual big party starts again tonight."
"That's wrong, first of all, welcome everyone to the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards."
The hosts are Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Baoyi, Zhang Jiahui and Lin Zicong.
Pure Cantonese communication, Shen Xudong understands a little Cantonese, but he doesn't understand a lot of slang and jokes, and the only thing he can understand is probably Zeng Zhiwei blowing that 'the glory of Hong Kong movies lies in their creativity, so good that Martin Scorsese, who has not won an award for decades, won the award. So Hong Kong will definitely be able to come up with the best ideas, the best movies. ’
The first award is the Screenwriter Award...
Awarded to Tan Jiaming and Tian Kailiang of "Father and Son", the camera deliberately swept to Shen Xudong, who was expressionless...
Well, Shen Xudong got two nominations for "Manslaughter" and "Tailor"...
Most importantly, Shen Xudong won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
The Academy Awards are awesome!
Ignoring the Oscars...
In addition, Shen Xudong also won the Venice Best Screenplay Award!
Well, people may just ignore Shen Xudong...
As for what the acceptance speech said, Shen Xudong was not interested at all, leaning on the back of the chair. Arms folded, self-care.
He's thinking about how to direct...
Next month, "Rise to Fame" will be filmed.
is still quite nervous, he used to be a producer and producer, and rarely thought about movies from the perspective of a director.
By the way, the nightingale of "Rise to Fame" asked Jing Tian to play - the production cost of this play is 35 million, and Jing Tian's company invested 30 million, accounting for 20% of the investment...
As soon as Shen Xudong said this, everyone had no opinion!
Art?
Art has to serve reality, too!
"Hey... Best Photography Too! ”
Yang Shoucheng suddenly pushed him...
Shen Xudong hurriedly came back to his senses - the best cinematography was awarded to Huang Yuetai, and the cinematography of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...
It can be regarded as the first award that Golden Harvest won with a bit of weight, and then... And then there was no then!
Several important awards, Liu Qingyun won the Best Actor for "I Want to Be Famous", Gong Li won the Best Actress for "The City is Full of Golden Armor", "Father and Son" won the best film, and Tan Jiaming won the best director for "Father and Son"...
Jiahe's army was annihilated;
Or that Shen Xudong got nothing!
