Chapter 233: Crying and Laughing
The outstanding directors shortlisted for this year's Feitian Award are Cai Donghai of "The Past of Honggong······ "Soldier Assault" Zhang Mingyuan ······"
At the scene of the Feitian Awards, the announcement of the shortlist of outstanding directors sounded.
When he heard that he was shortlisted, Zhang Mingyuan's whole person was obviously tense. However, the camera was on him, so he had to maintain a calm smile.
Xu Chuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at Zhang Mingyuan in this state, and couldn't help laughing.
It's not to laugh at Zhang Mingyuan's nervousness, as a director, he has never won an award of this level, and it's quite normal to be a little nervous now, which is nothing funny.
The really funny thing is that Fu Tianhang's kid just made a bet with Zhang Mingyuan to sing.
Zhang Mingyuan estimated that after setting up a flag, the probability of winning the award would be greater. Therefore, he really agreed to Fu Tianhang's gambling contract.
Good guy, Uncle Zhang's singing ······ Let's put it this way, have you heard Zhang Songwen sing "Listening to the Sea", have you heard Zhang Chaoyang sing "Dear, That's Not Love"?
Zhang Mingyuan perfectly integrates the essence of his two families.
Should I say it or not, the people of the old Zhang family still have a set of singing, which is good, just like Jacky Cheung; Isn't that ugly······ Emmm, it's hard to judge anyway.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan deliberately whispered to Zhang Mingyuan, who was pretending to be calm next to him: "Director Zhang, I'm going up to receive the award immediately, are you ready for your acceptance speech?" ”
"Look, you're not necessarily." When Zhang Mingyuan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, he didn't dare to do the champagne at half time.
After speaking, without waiting for Xu Chuan to reply, he continued to whisper: "Actually, although I haven't won this kind of award, I have won some other small awards, and the acceptance speech is nothing more than those things, and there is no need to prepare in advance." ”
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Xu Chuan couldn't hold back when he heard this, and Lao Zhang's current psychological state was too funny.
Just as the two were talking, the award presenters on the stage also opened the envelope and began to announce the list of outstanding directors this time.
As Xu Chuan guessed, I saw the award presenter say into the microphone: "The one who won the outstanding director of this Feitian Award is ······"
As soon as this voice sounded, Zhang Mingyuan instinctively held his breath.
The cast and hands of the crew of "Soldier Assault" are ready to applaud.
Relatively speaking, Xu Chuan seems to be really calm, because he thinks that this award is Zhang Mingyuan's.
Dramas like "Soldier Assault" are at the level of longitudinal comparison of the entire history of film and television dramas. With the current four competing dramas, why are they competing with Zhang Mingyuan for this excellent director?
In another ten years, there will still be people who will watch "Soldier Assault", and often watch Chang Xin. These people's dramas may be endless.
In fact, just as Xu Chuan expected, under the expectation of everyone, the award presenter raised his voice and said: "...... Zhang Mingyuan of "Soldier Assault", congratulations to Director Zhang." ”
As the words of the award presenters fell, there was a round of applause at the ceremony. Especially the young actors in "Soldier Assault", the slap is called a hard work.
As for Zhang Mingyuan, who won the award, his emotions suddenly had nowhere to put them. When what has been expected to come true, it is inevitable that there will be some unreality.
"Director Zhang, don't be stupid, it's time to sing on stage...... No, I came to the stage to accept the award. Fu Tianhang saw that Zhang Mingyuan was sitting and didn't move, so he hurriedly urged.
This urging brought Zhang Mingyuan back to his senses, and also made several people in "Soldier Assault" laugh again.
Hugging and shaking hands, Zhang Mingyuan came to the stage under applause, and then got the trophy from the award presenter and stood in front of the microphone.
"Thank you, thank you to the jury for awarding me this honor." Zhang Mingyuan shook the trophy in his hand vigorously.
After finishing speaking, he hesitated, took out a note from his pocket and unfolded it: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I missed someone to thank." ”
"Hahaha." The moment they saw Zhang Mingyuan take out the cheat sheet, everyone at the scene was happy.
Especially Xu Chuan, his face was deformed with a smile. You must know that a few minutes ago, Zhang Mingyuan swore to himself that "there is nothing to prepare".
Director Zhang on the stage thanked him with a note, from his family to his colleagues, from the army to the crew.
However, in this list of thanks, there is no Xu Chuan.
There is no reason for everyone present to know, it is definitely not forgetting, but to put it at the end to focus on thanks.
In fact, Zhang Mingyuan on the stage put away the note and continued into the microphone: "Finally, I would like to thank our producer, Mr. Xu Chuan. ”
With Zhang Mingyuan's words, the camera also cut Xu Chuan in a timely manner.
In the entertainment industry, calling a teacher is just polite in most cases. As Zhang Mingyuan calls now, it represents his personal respect for Xu Chuan.
He respects Xu Chuan, and Xu Chuan naturally has to respect him.
Therefore, Xu Chuan, who was originally happy to see his teeth and eyes, looked like he was sitting in the camera with a smile on his face at this time.
Not to mention, with Zhang Mingyuan's sentence "Mr. Xu Chuan", his temperament in the eyes of everyone seems to have undergone some changes.
"I'm 57 years old, 26 years old, and I've been in the industry for 31 years now. I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, but in the past 30 years, I haven't achieved any outstanding results.
Even in '16 or '17, I felt like my career as a director was coming to an end. Those two years were really hard, I was rejected countless times, really countless times. ”
When Zhang Mingyuan said this, his eyes turned red. The hand holding the trophy also worked harder, so hard that it trembled a little.
Obviously, Xu Chuan only had a general understanding of what happened to Zhang Mingyuan in those two years. The main reason is that he is not good at asking, and Zhang Mingyuan is not willing to say it in front of him.
Comparatively speaking, some of the people present knew much more than Xu Chuan. Now hearing Zhang Mingyuan's words, people who have the same experience feel the same way, and some people are embarrassed.
In this different state of mind, there was a burst of applause at the scene, which "interrupted" Zhang Mingyuan's speech.
Another point, although Zhang Mingyuan has indeed never won such an award as the Feitian Award. But he has still filmed some TV series with good ratings before.
If there were really no good works at all, he wouldn't have been able to do it for so many years, and he would have been eliminated from the market long ago.
Therefore, when he said that he did not achieve outstanding results, it can be said that he is a kind of self-humility, and perhaps with a hint of complaint.
"Thank you." In the face of applause and encouragement, Zhang Mingyuan thanked him and continued to speak: "Although my age is not particularly big in the ranks of directors, I have indeed reached the age of retirement.
So, I've been thinking, either forget it, or just retire like this. However, I really couldn't just leave the industry where I had worked for half my life.
Even if I have to leave, I want to use an excellent creation to draw a perfect end to my career. I believe that every practitioner of literature and art has this desire.
But there are so many wishes in this world. I often ask myself, do I really have a chance to draw a perfect end for myself? ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Mingyuan paused, and there was a burst of applause at the scene again.
After thanking him again, he continued: "Sometimes I have to say that opportunities always come inadvertently, in 18 years, I participated in a show by chance, that show is called "I am an actor".
In this show, I crossed paths with our producer, Mr. Xu Chuan, for the first time. Everyone knows what happened later, and I directed the filming of "The Beginning" under the entrustment of Producer Xu.
This drama has achieved unprecedented repercussions and excellent results. Not only that, but it has also played a milestone in the development of our online drama market.
After filming this drama, I was thinking that if "The Beginning" was the last drama of my directorial career, then this full stop would be more perfect.
I have to say that there is any regret, that is, the episodes of this show are too short. It was at this time that Producer Xu sent the script of "Soldier Assault" to me.
I don't know how to describe how I felt after reading the script. I just know that this will definitely be a good drama, the best drama I have ever filmed in my 31 years in the industry.
It turns out that my thoughts at the time were not wrong, and this is indeed the best drama I can do in my 31 years in the industry. I have a real masterpiece. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Mingyuan seemed to be a little emotional, and seemed to have a feeling of raising his eyebrows. His eyes, which had been red at first, were now red again.
"Therefore, I would like to solemnly thank Mr. Xu Chuan once again for his trust in me. Thank you to him for giving me two such good projects when everyone was not optimistic about me.
If it weren't for his trust, I don't think I would have had the opportunity to stand on this podium and nag about this in my life, thank you! After Zhang Mingyuan finished speaking, he bowed his head in the direction of Xu Chuan.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan immediately got up and bowed to Zhang Mingyuan. At the same time, he muttered in his heart: "Lao Zhang, you are too numb!" If you want a new project, don't come to this set, I can't resist it. ”
This scene made the scene burst into applause again, and also aroused the desire of the audience to discuss.
[The 57-year-old director, so grateful to a producer in his twenties, the more I watch it, the stranger it becomes]
[Actually, it's not strange, regardless of age, Xu Chuan did catch Zhang Mingyuan when he was the most difficult, and it was normal for him to be grateful to Xu Chuan, right? 】
[It's not just a handful, one of the two dramas "The Beginning" and "Soldier Assault" is a milestone in online dramas, and the other is the highest-rated star drama in recent years, which is directly fished from the basement to the ceiling]
[One thing to say, the final income of those who cooperate with Xu Chuan in the entertainment industry is quite high]
[This is mainly because he is atmospheric, and he is never afraid of others stealing his limelight. Look at him, and then look at the artists who are acting and competing for positions and forcing screenwriters to delete other people's scenes, it can only be said that people are most afraid of comparison]
[I'm not a fan of him, but I recognize this guy's pattern, whether it's in words or actions, it's really atmospheric]
Zhang Mingyuan's speech is now nearing the end.
Everyone in the crew of "Soldier Assault" has forgotten the singing bet just now, but Zhang Mingyuan obviously hasn't forgotten.
I saw him speak: "In the end, after a small delay of one minute, just before the awards, I made a bet with a few young people in our crew.
said that if I could win this award, I would sing a piece of "Invisible Wings" on stage, and I would sing......"
Before Zhang Mingyuan's words were finished, there was a commotion at the scene, compared to the slightly sad atmosphere just now, everyone still preferred a more relaxed atmosphere.
Therefore, as soon as he said this, not only the peers in the audience coaxed, but the host next to him also coaxed.
Looking at so many people in the audience, Zhang Mingyuan's face instantly turned red, he cleared his throat and said: "I sing a chorus, the singing is average, everyone take care of it." ”
After speaking, he sang directly: "I finally see all my dreams blossoming, and the young singing voice chasing is so loud and ......"
When Zhang Mingyuan's singing sounded, the scene was quiet for a moment. Immediately afterward, there was a kind of uncontrollable sound everywhere.
The audience watching the live broadcast was even more stupid.
What was I expecting? 】
[I thought you said that you were generally humble, but I didn't expect you to praise yourself]
[Where is the buffalo barking?] 】
[Director Zhang, we are almost sixty people, but we must not follow Xu Chuan to learn the whole night]
[Good guys, can all of you crew members be able to work so well? ] 】
I can't sing anymore, I really can't sing anymore. After Zhang Mingyuan sang a few words, he quickly fled the stage with the trophy, his face was as red as pig's liver, and the people at the scene laughed.
Fu Tianhang was even more trembling with laughter.
After Zhang Mingyuan came back, he smiled and said, "Dao'er, why do you sing these few sentences, didn't you say a whole chorus?" ”
"." Zhang Mingyuan scolded a few words when he heard this.
"Hahaha." As soon as these words came out, several people couldn't help laughing again.
At the same time, a new round of awards began on the stage, this time for outstanding screenwriters.
"Soldier Assault" unsurprisingly was once again shortlisted for the award.
A few minutes later, the award presenter took the envelope and said: "The outstanding screenwriters who won this year's Feitian Award are Zhu Lanyun and Xu Chuan of ...... "Soldier Assault". ”
That's right, the outstanding screenwriter of the Feitian Award can be awarded to all the screenwriters of a drama at the same time.
"Mountains and Seas" on Earth won the Outstanding Screenwriter Award, and there are six screenwriters for this drama, and all six screenwriters have won awards.
Compared with Zhang Mingyuan who just won the excellent director, after "Soldier Assault" won the excellent screenwriter again, the expressions of many people present were not so natural.
There are a total of 4 individual awards, and you have won two in "Soldier Assault" now, which makes the other crew happy.
Xu Chuan didn't care whether they were happy or not, but calmly took the stage to accept the award and give a speech.
"Teacher Zhu's health is not very good, I will receive this award on my behalf......" On the stage, Xu Chuan basically attributed all the honors of this award to Zhu Lanyun.
To be honest, if Zhu Lanyun hadn't gone to the relevant units with the script at that time, the filming of this drama would not have gone so smoothly. Moreover, the script of this play was indeed changed by Zhu Lanyun.
After thanking Datong on behalf of Zhu Lanyun, Xu Chuan returned to his seat.
At this time, "Soldier Assault" already has three flying trophies, which can be said to be the envy of other crews.
Of course, in the hearts of Xu Chuan and others, this award has come to an end, and the rest should have nothing to do with themselves.
Soon, the shortlist of outstanding actors began to be announced.
"Mr. Xu, do you think we can be shortlisted?" Wu Yuqing asked Xu Chuan a little nervously, for him, being shortlisted is a success.
"Maybe, you might be shortlisted." Xu Chuan thought for a while and then said to Wu Yuqing.
But this is a consolation.
Because Wu Yuqing has a disadvantage, that is, he plays a lot of Xu Sanduo, it is easy for people not to see his acting skills, and everyone will think that he is acting in his true colors.
It might be better if he had other TV series to compare with.
But the problem is that he doesn't. He only had one previous movie, and in that movie, the character he played was similar to Xu Sanduo.
A good actor considers the ability to shape the role. People who are classified as acting in their true colors will not get the award, because it does not reflect your character shaping power.
