Chapter 105: Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers (II)

Li Tang also specially changed into a navy blue double-breasted retro dress today, and in the waiting area, he met Director Zhang Yimou again. Although Director Zhang left in a hurry after attending the premiere before to start the premiere tour of "My Father and Mother", it has long been rumored that Director Zhang will win the Best Director Award at this year's Golden Rooster Awards. Now Director Zhang appears here, which shows that the rumors are true.

Director Zhang was still wearing the iconic black tunic and waved when he saw Li Tang smiling. This is the third time the two have met, and although Li Tang has not figured out why Director Zhang looks at him differently, he immediately perked up at this time and stepped forward.

"Xiao Li, have you prepared a show today?"

"Nope." Li Tang said a little shyly.

In front of big people, don't show deliberate maturity and sophistication, but your attitude must be sincere, this is the life experience of Li Tang in his previous life.

"I'd love to see you do another great sword dance."

Hearing this, Li Tang's heart suddenly moved, because he had heard Nai An say before that Director Zhang seemed to have been preparing for a martial arts movie very early, but there has been no definite news in the past two years.

Is it because the sword dance at the Huabiao Awards ceremony last time moved Director Zhang?

"By the way, what was the name of the sword dance you performed last time?" Director Zhang asked, gesturing.

"It's called Tai Chi Bagua Sword, which is a kind of Wudang swordsmanship."

"I think that swordsmanship dances beautifully, can you fight?" Director Zhang asked again.

As long as you ask if you can fight, it means that the person who asks knows more or less about it, unlike a layman who thinks that all martial arts can be played.

"The real Tai Chi Bagua Sword can be beaten, and it is very powerful. However, the swordsmanship I performed last time, I made some changes for the stage effect, adding some elements of classical Chinese dance, so it looks even more beautiful. Li Tang said.

Hearing Li Tang's words, Director Zhang was thoughtful.

Nai An is right, Director Zhang has indeed been preparing a martial arts movie, and it is still a blockbuster, and the first draft of the script has come out, and most of the main characters in it are using swords. Because the sword is a special symbol in Chinese martial arts and even Chinese history and culture, commonly known as the king of a hundred soldiers, it is often used as a noble ornament and a symbol of status in ancient times. The so-called sword fighting and sword dancing are more of a culture.

Director Zhang's works have very high requirements for visual experience and aesthetics, he not only wants the fierce sword fighting in Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts films, but also looks good. So the last time he saw the sword dance performed by Li Tang, he paid attention. Now hearing Li Tang say that he used the elements of classical Chinese dance to integrate into swordsmanship, he suddenly had a new idea.

Maybe it took a bit long to think, but when Director Zhang looked up and saw Li Tang who was still standing in front of him, he hurriedly showed a sincere smile to express his apology, and then asked, "Do you still practice other swordsmanship?" ”

"Not for the time being, I've been practicing big guns recently."

"What marksmanship?" Director Zhang asked with interest.

Because the gun has been the title of "King of Cold Weapons" since ancient times, it is also an indispensable weapon in his vision.

"Tai Chi Gun."

"And the Tai Chi gun?"

The Tai Chi gun is too unpopular, and like Li Tang before, Director Zhang has never heard of it.

"Yes, Wu-style Tai Chi gun, this marksmanship is particularly beautiful......"

Li Tang suddenly remembered that Director Zhang once made a movie called "Hero".

Why is it sudden, because he was misled by the martial arts movie that Nai An said, because "Hero" was an epic blockbuster at the time, a bit like Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", so he didn't connect "Hero" with martial arts movies at first.

And in his previous life, when he saw the movie "Hero", he was already in college, which was after 2003, and now it is only 1999.

He still remembers the martial arts scene in "Hero", one word "beautiful"! Especially when he saw Director Zhang's reaction just now, he felt as if he had felt the pulse of the other party, so he emphasized "beautiful".

Director Zhang was really interested, and Li Tang teased Director Zhang about what he heard from Wu Jing about "Zhao Zilong's Eighteen Shots" and "Wu Mu's Thirteen Guns".

In the end, he was embarrassed and said: "Tai Chi gun is real kung fu, I am still practicing basic skills, and if I succeed, it is estimated that it will take next year." ”

Here he also set up an ambush, because Wu Jing told him that he couldn't get down after two or three years of practicing the Tai Chi gun.

Director Zhang is not in a hurry in terms of time, because preparing for a blockbuster film is not overnight, and he is currently preparing to adapt a novella by Mo Yan and put it on the screen, and the male protagonist has been determined, it is Zhao Benshan, who made a big splash with "Director of Men and Women" this year.

However, chatting with Li Tang this time was very rewarding for Director Zhang, so much so that when the staff came to ask Director Zhang to walk the red carpet, Director Zhang pulled Li Tang and said, "Xiao Li, let's go, let's go together." ”

Fortunately, this is the first time that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has a red carpet session, and everyone is not very particular, so Li Tang happily stepped on the red carpet with Director Zhang, attracting countless flashes.

And this scene was transmitted to TV screens across the country through the live broadcast signal.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "When did this guy get so close to Zhang Yimou?" ”

Fan Xiaopang grinned and laughed: "Wow, Mr. Li actually walked the red carpet with Director Zhang!" ”

The ex-girlfriend's eyes were red and she muttered, "How is this possible?" ”

Xu Guangtou, who was lying on the bed in the time of a sage, saw this scene on the TV screen, and suddenly jumped up from the bed: "If you want to go west, you can only be a red guy, the gimmick is good......"

Sister Hua sat in front of the TV thoughtfully, groaned and picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number: "Bingbing, I think you can think of another way to think of a way to do it last time......

As for Lao Li, he pointed to the TV screen and laughed, and shouted proudly: "Look, this is my son, my son of Li Guoqing, walking with the great director Zhang Yimou!" ”

After the red carpet session, the closing ceremony began, and according to the custom, the leader spoke first. The leaders attending the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival were slightly lower than those at the Huabiao Awards, and Li Tang, who was sitting in the front row of the venue, said that he had a sense of superiority, after all, he had seen the world.

After interspersed with two literary programs, the first award was the 22nd Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films.

Three Chinese film awards, Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao.

The Golden Rooster is a professional award, which is selected by expert judges; Huabiao is a government award, in addition to artistry, it also takes into account social orientation and main theme; And the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films is nominally an audience award.

It stands to reason that the awards selected by the audience are the least controversial, but the reality is the opposite, the Hundred Flowers Award in recent years has been controversial, and its credibility has been greatly questioned.

This year's Hundred Flowers Award is said to have received more than 570,000 votes, which is the largest number of votes received since the nineties of the twentieth century, and this year's Hundred Flowers Award has also opened an online voting system, inviting a professional electronic technology company in Beijing to carry out statistical processing, and the results will be notarized by the Beijing Notary Office.

Everything seems to be fair and impartial, with no loopholes.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the venue of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is Shenyang, and Uncle Benshan is a representative figure in the province's literary and artistic circles, and his "Director of Men and Women" is naturally the most popular.

As expected, "The Director of Men and Women" topped the list with the highest number of votes, and what was eye-shattering was that "Not Seen, Not Scattered", which earned more than 35 million at the box office, was ruthlessly kicked out by the "audience" vote.

A poor movie with a low box office, and even the vast majority of people have never heard of it, "Red Lady" ranks second, and even "No One is Missing", which just won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, has always lagged behind.

In the end, these three films jointly won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Feature Film.

Uncle Benshan unsurprisingly won the Best Actor Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards; And the actress who won the Hundred Flowers Award was the little-known young actress Liu Xin, who was the heroine of the movie "Red Lady".

Well, one more thing, the director of "Matchmaker" is Huang Jianzhong.

If it is reasonable to say that the winner of the Best Supporting Actor is the famous veteran actor Niu Ben of Shanghai Film Studio, then the candidate for Best Supporting Actress is funny, because "Screen Love" has not yet been released, and Li Xiaohong, the actor of the younger brother, unexpectedly won the Best Supporting Actress.

This is an audience award!

Of course, the Hundred Flowers Award is just the appetizer of today's closing ceremony and awards ceremony, and the big head is the more heavyweight Golden Rooster Award.

"Shanghai Chronicle" starring Li Tang only won one award for best scenery, and Chen Dadao's "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" won almost all heavyweight technical awards including best art, best recording, and best cinematography.

This can be regarded as a compensation for Director Chen's controversial film, which was nominated for all the heavyweight awards including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Actress and Best Supporting Actor and Actress.

Li Tang, who was sitting at the scene, felt sorry for the actors with superb acting skills such as Li Xuejian, Wang Zhiwen, and Gong Li in this movie, and if he followed the selection criteria of the Hundred Flowers Award, he even thought that the weekly news in this movie was worthy of a Best Supporting Actress award.

The Best Supporting Actress was finally won by Yuan Quan, who played well in "Spring Rhapsody".

Yuan Quan, who stood on the stage to deliver his acceptance speech, burst into tears of excitement, and the decline of returning home at the Huabiao Awards was swept away at this moment.

The winner of the best supporting actor was Du Yuan, the actor of the father in the children's feature film "Grass House".

In the competition for the Best Actress Award, Ning Jing beat Xu Fan, the actress of Huabiao, and Yuan Quan, the heroine of "Shanghai Chronicle", and won the crown of the Golden Rooster Actress.

When the winner of the Best Actor Award was announced on stage, although he had already done a good job of psychological construction, Li Tang, who had no hope of winning the award, couldn't help but be short of breath and his heart was beating faster.

It's a pity that the surprise didn't come after all, and the winner of the best actor was Mr. Teng Rujun, the actor of the father in "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

can be regarded as winning a game for Liu Ye who played his son, and the best supporting actor next to him.

Director Zhang Yimou won the Best Director Award unsurprisingly.

The most eye-catching and weighty Best Feature Film Award, contrary to speculation from the outside world, was finally awarded to "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" directed by Huo Jianqi.

Here, Li Tang has to give a big thumbs up to the judges of this year's Golden Rooster Awards! Because on the whole, the selection of this year's Golden Rooster Award is quite fair, and it is in great contrast with the Hundred Flowers Award, which is extremely controversial and doesn't even want a face.

What's more, under great pressure, the judges gave up "No One is Missing", which won the Golden Lion Award, but chose "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" directed by Huo Jianqi to award the Best Feature Film Award, and it takes a lot of courage not to even open a double yolk egg.

The third update! Today's three watches, 10,000 words smaller, finished writing the golden rooster and hundred flowers in one go, and asked for a ticket by the way, the results are too ugly.
