Chapter 14: The Golden Horse
Lin Nan felt very embarrassed, he stood there like a second force, and from time to time he had to say, "I'm in the directing department now."
The new students are very enthusiastic, and it has only been three months since the release of "Warm and Warm Light", and the popularity is still a little.
Within a few days of sophomore life, good news came.
Li Yang informed himself that Lin Nan was nominated for Best New Actor.
Shangying called, and "Warm and Warm Light" was nominated for Best Original Screenplay.
The school teacher is very happy, Lin Nan is also excited, the best original script is okay, this session is the world of "Infernal Affairs".
After the news came out, the public knew that Lin Nan, the director and star of "Warm and Warm with Light", had also acted in "Blind Well".
It's different for the crew of "Warm and Bright", many people who originally decided not to participate regretted it, and it is completely different whether they are nominated or not.
It's a pity that the list has already been set with Shangying, Lin Nan, Zhu Yawen, Zhou Yang and Jiang Yiyan.
And the screenwriter, director, starring and even producer are all Lin Nan.
The congratulatory phone call has not been interrupted in two days, and the news on the penguin has not been interrupted, and many of them are people who only met last time I went next door.
"Director Lin, I wish the film an award-winning ......, Tang".
……
Shangying has started to publicize again, and he has been blowing for several months, and Lin Nan is about to be embarrassed, his face has not yet been honed to the level of a director.
The crew of "Baolian Lantern" rubbed a wave, but greeted Lin Nan in advance.
The first part of "Infernal Affairs" was released, and it took a year to press, but it was finally released.
This series will also be the last glory of Hong Kong films.
Those with a keen sense of smell have begun to take the initiative to embrace the mainland, "No. 1 in the World" has been recorded, and "Little Fish and Flowers" is also ready to be filed.
I have to admit that "Infernal Affairs" is a classic, and when it comes out of the theater, the big guys say so.
The film critics' evaluation is one-sided, and it is indeed good, but these people are really too two-and-five, and they have always been the full moon outside, and by the way, they have trampled on a large number of mainland films, including Lin Nan.
In fact, everyone has seen this movie, and this release is just a release attempt by China Film, and Lin Nan and some classmates still came to cheer for it.
"I heard that the investment is more than 20 million, and I dare too much."
"The remake rights have been sold, and this one has sold for nearly two million dollars, what do you say?" said some people.
"It's a miracle to shoot it, and it's a miracle to make it."
……
Sure enough, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and "Me and Dad" are completely incomparable to the momentum of "Infernal Affairs".
Jinma announced the shortlist, and the two related to Lin Nan are still there, and the people around him are even more excited.
Nomination represents possibility, and being shortlisted is a finalist.
A few days after the shortlist was announced, and there was still a month before the award ceremony, the teacher began to ask him when he would take a leave of absence, and just say hello when the time comes.
In the past, most of the awards won by students took place in the school next door, and the school was also under pressure.
"Mobile Phone" began to be publicized on a large scale, and Director Feng made another masterpiece, reflecting on social realities, and all of them were participated by powerful acting schools.
"Mobile Phone" was promoted at the film academy, Lin Nan was also present, Fan Ye is not a master yet, but he is very beautiful, and it is the type that mature men like.
Director Feng can be described as Huayi's trump card, and he is also a person full of inspirational stories, if it weren't for his bad looks, he would be a proper protagonist of the novel.
Looking at Director Feng, who was chatting and laughing on the stage, Lin Nan suddenly thought of a line: It doesn't matter if a man is old or ugly, the most important thing is to be talented......
It makes a lot of sense.
The release time of "Mobile Phone" is scheduled for December 18, and Lin Nan will definitely not be in the mainland at that time.
The time was getting closer and closer, Shangying began to ask, and Lin Nan had to prepare.
Zhu Yawen was already packing her luggage and still asking about the suit.
"We don't have to worry about this, Shangying is prepared, tell them that the dress is the same."
Lin Nan said to Zhu Yawen.
On December 1, Lin Nan and the four of them left the school with their suitcases, accompanied by a staff member from Shangying.
"Director Lin, the leader will have a round with us over there."
Lin Nan nodded, they flew over from the school, and Shangying set off from them.
After landing, I saw the person who picked up the plane.
"Director Lin, Mr. Ren is also here", someone said to Lin Nan.
In this year's Golden Horse, except for Lin Nan, there are almost no mainland artists, and there are no major awards.
But many mainland companies have come, after all, Jinma is still a benchmark in the Chinese film industry.
The red carpet was on December 13, and the awards ceremony was also on that day.
The hotel where several people stayed was with the people in the film, and Lin Nan went to see Mr. Ren.
The two met in a café on the second floor, and the other party also brought a secretary, a man.
"Mr. Ren, hello", Lin Nan took the initiative to say hello, others are bigwigs, and he is a junior, so he has to be polite.
"Director Lin, he is so young, and the future is terrifying. It is also your credit to be able to participate in the competition this time, and several major film studios have our works on the film to participate in the competition", Mr. Ren was very happy when he said this, and he was not subtle at all.
Nowadays, the policy is in favor of commercial films, that is, films that can sell at the box office.
Director Zhang has Zhang Weiping, and foreign film companies are optimistic. China Film belongs to the leader, located in the Beijing circle, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige are close, and Huayi is also the core of the Beijing circle.
There are not many directors who can sell money, and almost all of them have regular partners.
"Does Director Lin have a plan for a new play", Mr. Ren asked and took a sip of coffee.
A lot of thoughts flashed through Lin Nan's mind in an instant, "I plan to prepare a new film in the first half of next year."
"Oh, got a plan? What type", Mr. Ren asked, the smile on his face gave people the feeling of a spring breeze.
"There is no script yet, but it should still be a commercial film", Lin Nan can say so much, the person in front of him is his own financier after all.
"Okay, commercial films are good, what is encouraged above is commercial films, and when the budget comes out, tell me, I'll make up for you."
Mr. Ren is very angry, and he pats his chest with a big bag.
The tropical fruits here are very cheap, and Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen have really eaten them in different ways these days.
At noon on the 13th, Lin Nan had already changed into a black suit, provided by Shangying. Zhu Yawen chose a set of blue, very sassy bags.
The two ladies were standard evening dresses. In a few hours, the red carpet will begin.
As a representative of the producer Shangying, Mr. Ren is very particular about dressing, a tunic suit.
At three o'clock, Lin Nan and Mr. Ren were in a car, and Zhu Yawen was behind.
At the Municipal Art Center, there were already crowds of people on both sides, and Lin Nan, who got out of the car, saw Li Yang coming over.
"Director Li", Lin Nan took the initiative to hug.
The latter continued to greet Mr. Ren.
In addition to fans on both sides, there are also many reporters with long guns and short guns, both Chinese and foreign.
Lin Nan needs to walk the red carpet twice, in order "Blind Well" after "Warm and Warm Light", because it has the blessing of the silver bear.
Later, there were more and more vehicles, and many drove away.
Lin Nan saw those people on Hong Kong Island, Liu Liang and the others were contenders for the best actor tonight, "Infernal Affairs" was too strong, and Ren Dahao and Wu Yan couldn't beat it.
The main awards have all been touched by "Infernal Affairs".
……
"Here is the crew of "Warm and Warm with Light", ......"
Lin Nan didn't hear what he said clearly, mixed with some accents.
He followed in the footsteps of Mr. Ren, with Zhu Yawen, Zhou Yang and Jiang Yiyan on his side.
The two women were very excited because there were people around them calling their names in the play.
"Director Lin, I heard that you are still studying, so you became a film director and star, the box office is so good, how do you feel?"
The question of this occasion has always been so straightforward.
"It's okay, like me, there are more in the school." Lin Nan didn't say much, just perfunctory, and he didn't know what to say. The main thing is that Mr. Ren is talking loudly, and he deserves to be a leader.
After entering the venue, he was taken to the back of the center and sat down, Lin Nan was thinking, if there was no president, would he and the others have to sit in the back and go to the corner.
Lin Nan turned back, and Director Li Yang was still waiting for him.
When he followed Li Yang on the red carpet again, even the host was stunned.
"I'm still one of the main actors in this play."
Lin Nan said, and Li Yang added, "I am still one of the investors."
Director Silver Bear is different, these people who praise the high and the low speak well.
The officiator of the award ceremony was half a man and a woman, the woman from Hong Kong Island.
This Golden Horse can be said to be contracted by Hong Kong films.
Best Plot, "Blind Well" lost to "Infernal Affairs", Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and Supporting Actors are all from Hong Kong films.
"Warm Inside the Light" won the best original screenplay, was nominated for the award, and there was no fragment.
Lin Nan was not embarrassed when he came to the stage to accept the award, and the standard acceptance speech came down after speaking.
Mr. Ren took the trophy handed by Lin Nan, looked at it and returned it to Lin Nan, "Make persistent efforts in the future."
Several people took turns to get started, and Lin Nan sat next to Li Yang.
"Best Cross-Media Adapted Screenplay, Li Yang".
Li Yang got up happily, hugged Lin Nan, and went up, and the spotlight flashed.
"Best New Actor Award, "Blind Well" Lin Nan".
At this moment, Lin Nan only had one sentence in his heart, "Here it is".
"I won two awards for the first time I participated in the film festival, does director Lin Nan have any comments?"
"Thank you Brother Li Yang for giving me this role and taking me to the industry. Thank you Mr. Ren for investing in me and filming "Warm and Warm Light", I will continue to work hard, thank you".
Although it is not the most important awards, Lin Nan is very satisfied, two.
"Good boy, praise me like this", Li Yang hammered Lin Nan, and he could hear Lin Nan's speech just now.
"It's a pity, I won't be able to film in the mainland in five years."
Lin Nan nodded and did not speak.
Here started the most fierce competition for several awards, the best plot, the best director, all gave "Infernal Affairs", the battle of the actors, and also the internal dispute of "Infernal Affairs", Liu Dehao lost to Liang Chaowei by one vote.
Time will tell if a person's ass is crooked.
"At this time, the news in the mainland is probably being drafted as a title", Mr. Ren said, "Warm and Warm with Light" won the award, no matter which award it is, he has his credit for Shangying.
That's right, the burgeoning portal has put on a big headline.
"Lin Nan won the Best New Actor Award and the Best Original Screenplay Award".
"Film Academy 02 Director Department, director Lin Nan at the 40th Golden Horse ......"
……
At the end of the award ceremony, Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen flashed a few positions, rushed to Liu Tianwang, asked for an autograph, and asked the person in the film to help take a group photo.
"Director Xiaolin, remember to cooperate with me when you have the opportunity, and the salary can be discussed", although Liu Tianwang has a hook nose, he is not a person.
"You're welcome".
