September 18, 2001, the 70th anniversary of the September 18 Incident.

Li Tang realized this problem when he came home last night and saw the main theme movie "National Anthem" commemorating 918 being broadcast on TV. And I actually went to eat Japanese food, and praised the Japanese ingredients for being good, but the key is that I didn't realize it, and I felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden, and I always felt that I had made a mistake.

When I got up early the next morning for morning exercise, I ran an extra two kilometers, which can be regarded as a punishment for myself. This is not to say that it is just a formality, but it has been peaceful for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be slackness, and you must always remind yourself.

I went back to the apartment and took a shower, and was about to go downstairs for breakfast, when my phone rang.

"Brother, good news, you have been shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor." Zeng Jia's excited voice came from the phone.

Li Tang's first reaction was: "How is it possible, it's wrong?" ”

"Make no mistake, really, the list of nominees has been published on the Internet, you can look it up online."

"Wait a minute!"

Li Tang really couldn't believe it, and he couldn't care about going out, so he hurriedly turned on the computer.

I just installed broadband, the Internet speed is still relatively fast, open the entertainment copyright of the portal, and the headline on the front page is "The 21st China Film Golden Rooster Award Nomination List Announced".

Quickly clicked on it, and a long table popped up, he didn't care about looking at the nominations for Best Picture, Best Documentary, etc., and pulled the cursor down until he saw the Best Supporting Actor award, freeze frame.

There are three nominees on it: Sun Haiying's "Out of Xibaipo", Zhang Huizhong's "Full Moon Tonight", and the last one is Li Tang's "The Story of Escort".

He looked at his name on the computer screen and was stunned for a long time, the phone was not hung up, and Zeng Jia's voice came: "Hey, hey, did you see it?" ”

"Oh, I see."

"I'll just say it......"

Before Zeng Jia finished speaking, Li Tang interrupted: "Jiajia, I won't tell you yet." ”

After hanging up the phone, he moved his cursor back to the top of the list, and was nominated for Best Picture: "Grandpa Mao in 1925", "Fragrance of Oaths", and "Together Forever".

All of them are main theme movies.

Then the best documentary: "China 1949", "Oriental Loud Noise - Two Bombs and One Star Record".

These two nominations basically confirm the main theme of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

continued to move down until the Best Screenplay Award, only to see that "The Story of the Escort" and "Fragrance of Oaths", co-signed by the original author Wang Liang and the director, were jointly nominated

Then in the Best Directorial Debut Award, "The Story of the Escort" was nominated again, and the interesting thing is that there is only one work nominated for this award, which means that this award has been awarded in advance to the director of "The Story of the Escort".

Mr. Ge Zhijun was nominated for the Best Actor Award together with Wang Xueqi of "Together Forever", Zhao Wentable of "Hero Zheng Chenggong" and Pan Yueming of "Blue Love".

Yuan Quan, the female number one of "Blue Love", was nominated for the best heroine again, but unfortunately she did not see the name of Jiang Qinqin, the female number one of "Hero Zheng Chenggong".

Coupled with the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, "The Story of Escort" has received a total of four nominations, and all of them are relatively heavy.

After reading the list of nominees, Li Tang pondered for a while, and then dialed the phone number of director Qixin.

"Director Qi, hello!"

When filming, he is called director, and after filming, he has to call someone else's title.

"Li Tang, have you seen the list of nominees?" The other end of the line smiled heartily.

"Yes, I really didn't expect to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor, thank you Director Qi." Li Tang said with a flattered look.

"Haha, what didn't you expect, when I had a film viewing meeting some time ago, everyone agreed that the combination of you, Mr. Ge and Fu Biao was very good. I think this nomination is well deserved. ”

"Will Brother Biao have any opinions?" Li Tang asked tentatively.

"Alas, he can only say bad luck this time. I was afraid that it would not be safe to report only one Best Actor, so I reported him and Mr. Ge together. But because of the limited number of places, he took him down again, which he took the initiative to ask for, and gave this opportunity to Teacher Ge. Besides, you don't know Fu Biao, how can you have an opinion about you. ”

When it was over, Qi Xin added: "You just put a hundred hearts, anyway, there will be a chance in the future." ”

Listening to this tone, Brother Biao will not suffer, Li Tang was in a slightly calm mood, and said with a smile: "Hey, then I'll have a treat when I go back, please rub it with Brother Biao and Teacher Ge." ”

At the same time, he finally understood the reason why he was nominated this time, and he dared to love that he was lucky, otherwise Mr. Ge would have been nominated for Best Actor and Brother Biao for Best Supporting Actor, and he would have nothing to do with himself.

"You have to treat yourself, and you didn't notice in advance of such a big news that you won an award in Venice, and you will have to be punished for wine when the time comes!"

"Well, Director Qi, it's me who is wrong, and I will be fined three glasses of wine when the time comes." Li Tang said busily.

In the past few years, he has not been in vain, in a word: the leader stands high and sees far, and the leader's opinion is always right. Even if there is an occasional mistake, it is because the subordinate does not deeply understand the true intention of the leader, resulting in deviations.

Qi Xin still admires Li Tang, not only has excellent business ability, but also knows and understands. Young but stable, even if he wins an award abroad, he is still not arrogant or impatient.

What's more important is that he won the award at the Venice Film Festival this time, which is the right time to add a lot of topics and heat to the upcoming "The Story of Escort", which is an important factor for Li Tang to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor this time.

The two talked and laughed a few words on the phone, and asked again, "Are you still in Shanghai, when will you come over?" ”

"Tomorrow."

may be very satisfied with Li Tang's attitude, and said with a smile: "It's better to come early, accept more interviews with reporters, and warm up our movies first." Don't hide it if you win the award, let me tell you, this time you have won glory for our Chinese films. ”

In the past, most of the awards at overseas film festivals were underground films that did not pass the censorship, which inevitably made the General Administration a little disgraced. Including "Che Forty-Four", which won the special award in the short film unit this time, it did not pass the censorship in the end because it was too gray.

And "The Third Man", which is all going according to the regular path, was able to win the Best Actor Award in the Venice Film Festival against the current this time, which fully shows that the films that have passed the censorship can also win awards at overseas film festivals.

Li Tang heard the song and knew the elegance, and hurriedly climbed the pole and said, "Director Qi, is there any reward?" ”

"You've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, what more reward do you want?"

"What, I wonder if "The Third Man" can be raised?"

"Raise the gear?"

Qi Xin was silent for a while before he said, "Do you want to squeeze into the National Day file?" ”

Li Tang hurriedly said: "I wonder if it can be moved to October 5, mainly because "The Mummy 2" will be released on the same day on October 11, but it is a Hollywood blockbuster, and I am worried that no one will watch "The Third Man" by then." ”

His reason is very real, after all, no one wants to PK with Hollywood blockbusters in these years, and October 5 is already more than half of the National Day holiday, even if it has an impact on other movies released on the National Day, the impact is limited.

Qi Xin is in charge of the release of the movie, although this kind of thing is a matter of his words, but he still said vaguely: "Let's talk about this matter." ”

After all, the interests of all parties must be involved, and you cannot be hasty. What's more important is that it is too quick to agree, and it can't highlight the difficulty of things, which is also an art of leadership.

As long as there is no explicit refusal, it means that there is a joke in the matter.

Li Tang was in a hurry to talk about this, so he had the courage to mention it, and suddenly said in surprise: "Thank you, Director Qi." ”

"Don't bother thanking you yet, eh...... Let's talk about it when you come to the capital. ”

"Understood!"

The first and second shifts will be made up by 12 a.m. tomorrow.
