The filming of "Fengyun 2" is in full swing, and the time has come to April 26.

The filming of Fengyun has entered the middle and late stages.

However, the crew chose to suspend filming on this day.

It's not that the crew is in trouble, but the 1995 Hong Kong Film Awards are about to be held.

Most of the crew of Fengyun have to attend the Academy Awards.

Among them, Chen Xiaodong was shortlisted for the best action director, and although Chen Qiming was not shortlisted, he was invited to attend as the award presenter for the best actor.

Others attended as guests.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Qiming and others flew to Hong Kong together.

As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Qiming received several invitations.

The people who invited him to dinner were all people with good status in the Hong Kong film industry.

And the reason why these people will invite him to dinner now is that in addition to being the presenter of the Best Actor at the Academy Awards this year, he also has an identity.

He was a member of the second jury of this year's Academy Awards.

The selection rules of the Academy Awards are simple, with a total of two rounds of judging.

In the first round of adjudication, the "Hong Kong Film Awards Voters" and the "First Round Professional Jury" voted for the nominees for all awards, each representing fifty percent (50%) of the total points of the first round.

The top five winners with the highest number of votes in each category will advance to the second round.

Among them, "Hong Kong Film Awards Electors" refers to those who meet the qualifications of the Hong Kong Film Awards Electors and have duly registered with the Council.

The "First Round of Professional Jury" is composed of film industry insiders and professional media professionals recommended and invited by the Judging Panel of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In the second round of the competition, the "Second Round of Professional Jury" and the 13 members of the Academy Awards, together with the members of the Hong Kong Society of Composers and Authors, selected the winners.

The "Second Round of Professional Jury" is composed of filmmakers and professional media professionals recommended and invited by the Judging Office of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The "Second Round Professional Judging Panel" accounts for 55% of the points awarded in the second round of voting.

The 13 members of the Academy Awards and the Hong Kong Society of Composers and Authors can vote for their professional awards (25% of the points) and other awards (20% of the points) in the second round.

Chen Qiming has very good results in movies and music.

Therefore, he was recommended to be selected as one of the members of the second round of the jury this year.

Not only that, but he is also one of the few people who has the right to vote for multiple awards.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to Hong Kong, the directors and actors who were shortlisted for the award began to actively contact him.

The purpose is nothing more than to get him to vote for himself in the voting session of the second jury tomorrow.

No matter how fair the award is, there will be unfair times, which is the current situation.

Artists with relationships definitely have a much higher probability of winning awards than others.

The year before last, the reason why Chen Qiming lost the selection of the Best Actor at the Academy Awards was because the jury of that year had a bad impression of Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming that year was extremely beautiful.

Under the scenery, there are naturally countless existences that look at him but are not eye-catching.

In addition, Chen Qiming did not deliberately give benefits to the jury at that time, so that time, he finally missed the Best Actor at the Academy Awards.

And it is precisely because of being treated unfairly that he missed the best actor.

So when Chen Qiming became a judge, when he faced a large number of people who came to stammer and wanted him to vote, he disappeared directly.

Of course, the reason for this is also to maintain their own image.

This year, for the first time, he judged the award as a judge, and if he accepted the invitation of others, if it was known by reporters or others, he would inevitably be criticized.

It's just that although Chen Qiming doesn't want to see people, there are always people who find ways to appear in front of him.

The day after he returned, someone came straight to the door early in the morning.

"Mr. Wang! You're ......"

As soon as he opened the door and saw the people at the door, Chen Qiming couldn't help frowning.

The person who came was none other than Wong Kar-wai, who had cooperated with Chen Qiming.

In addition to Wong Kar-wai, another foreigner is Wong Kar-wai's royal photographer.

The arrival of these two guys really gave Chen Qiming both a headache and helplessness.

Wong Kar-wai's "Fallen Angel" is the hit film at this year's Academy Awards, having been shortlisted for nine awards.

Among them are important awards such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, and Best New Actor.

Now, Wong Kar-wai's dog thing has run directly to his door, and he can already imagine how the media will report it tomorrow.

As the saying goes, the more people like you, the more people hate you.

The same applies to Chen Qiming.

While he has many friends in the circle, he also has many opponents.

Even the media.

Don't look at the major newspapers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, they praise Chen Qiming almost every day.

But the truth is that there are just as many people who belittle him and make him worthless.

Chen Qiming has no doubt that tomorrow's newspapers will definitely write about him taking advantage of the Academy Awards judging.

"Ming Zai, I'm really sorry, you can't get through on the phone, so I can only come to the door in person!"

Wong Kar-wai still wears his nasty sunglasses, and he is a pretending criminal.

"I just came back from the mainland, and I have to go to the film association today, and I want to take a good rest."

One of the several invitations Chen Qiming received yesterday was Wong Kar-wai.

At that time, Chen Qiming directly asked Li Xiaowen to reject him.

Chen Qiming didn't expect this guy to come directly to the door.

Click!

The crisp shutter sounded, and Chen Qiming's face sank.

He is a sweet spot in the eyes of reporters, even if he is located in a luxury residential area with tight security.

But reporters are still everywhere, and there are often reporters squatting on his doorstep.

Obviously, the scene of Wong Kar-wai coming to him has been filmed by reporters.

"Come in!"

Although he was very annoying to Wong Kar-wai, Chen Qiming still chose to let him in.

came to the living room, and without waiting for the two of them to sit down, Chen Qiming spoke directly:

"This is the first time I have been a judge this year, and I hope Director Wang can take care of it more."

Chen Qiming's meaning is simple.

This is my first time as a judge, so don't make it difficult for me.

He knew Wong Kar-wai understood.

"Of course, I see what you mean!"

Wong Kar-wai sat down and nodded in response.

After a pause, he pointed to Christopher Doyle next to him and said:

"I've seen all the films shortlisted this year, and in terms of pictures, Mr. Du is definitely the first.

What do you think? ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming's face sank.

Is this a fool for him or a fool himself?

I also understand what I mean.

He has already made it clear that he should not make it difficult for him, and he still comes to this trick.

Christopher Doyle is the cinematographer of "Fallen Angels", and his award is basically the same as Wong Kar-wai's.

"Mr. Wang's ears?"

Chen Qiming said angrily directly.

He annoys this kind of self-righteous guy the most.

Chen Qiming has worked with Wong Kar-wai, and he couldn't be clearer about this guy's character.

If Chen Qiming hated Wong Kar-wai at the beginning, it was because he cheated investors and procrastinated in filming.

After Chen Qiming cooperated with him after that, his dislike for him was completely because of his character.

Self-righteous, arrogant, arrogant.

These words can be applied to him.

Because he is a rare international award winner in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he is a self-proclaimed literary artist.

This guy always looks like the third child of the world.

In addition, this guy does not know how to respect people.

Just like now, even though he has entered the house, he still doesn't take off his sunglasses.

Honestly, this guy thinks it's cool, but it's actually really low.

In terms of being handsome and cool, who is he Chen Qiming weaker than?

Pretending to be cool in front of him, this is simply playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Silent......

Chen Qiming said, "Mr. Wang's ears are back!" ", which directly made Wong Kar-wai's face gloomy.

"Ming Tsai, you know, I don't really lack your vote.

If I really want to find it, some people are willing to give me a ticket! ”

"Hehe......"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming smiled directly.

This guy is really crazy.

Asking someone to do something is still the attitude you should give me.

Chen Qiming admits that Wong Kar-wai does have a wide range of connections.

Many people in the Film Association are familiar with him.

Otherwise, he would not have been shortlisted and won awards at the Academy Awards every year.

The reason why he won awards is not all because his films are really artistic ceilings.

has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and Chen Qiming is not too clear about the various unspoken rules of this industry.

Do Wong Kar-wai's films know that the art is sufficiently higher than those of his contemporaries?

Not necessarily.

The reason why he is so famous is because of his connections.

The more awards he has won using his connections, his reputation has naturally increased.

However, others may worry about what will happen to Wong Kar-wai in the future.

But these people do not include Chen Qiming himself.

As a billionaire, if he is still being manipulated by Wong Kar-wai, then he simply shouldn't mix it up.

Therefore, in the face of Wong Kar-wai's semi-threatening words, Chen Qiming said directly:

"Mr. Wang can go to someone else!"

As he spoke, he got up directly and made a gesture of sending off the guest.

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Wong Kar-wai glanced at Chen Qiming deeply, and walked out with Du Kefeng.

Chen Qiming was sent to the gate.

When both of them were out of the door, he spoke:

"Mr. Wang, to be honest, I don't like your arrogance very much.

Originally, if you didn't come to me today, I was going to vote for you.

Because, in terms of pictures, "Fallen Angel" is indeed very good.

It's a pity that your arrogance annoys me! ”

This time, Chen Qiming said it directly.

He is not afraid of offending Wong Kar-wai.

Moreover, even if he offends, what if he is offended, is it possible to bite him?

Wong Kar-wai didn't look back as if he hadn't heard Chen Qiming's words.

It's just that his suddenly clenched fist made Chen Qiming understand that he was angry.

Chen Qiming didn't care about this, closed the door, and went home to sleep.

"Du, do you think we have a way to kick Chen Qiming out of the jury."

Wong Kar-wai and the others kept walking along the winding path.

After walking for a few minutes, Wong Kar-wai asked.

Du Kefeng next to him has not spoken since he left Chen Qiming's house.

Hearing Wong Kar-wai's words at this time, he said with a cold face:

"It's hard, king! Chan is a member of the Society of Lyricists and Composers, and a well-known screenwriter.

Coupled with his international influence, his status at the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards is no worse than yours! ”

Christopher Doyle is not Chinese.

He was born in Sydney, Australia in 1952.

He graduated from the Department of Literature of the University of Sydney, New Asia College of the University of Chinese Hong Kong, and the Department of Fine Arts of the University of Maryland.

In 1981, Christopher Doyle was invited to be the director of photography for the feature film "A Day at the Beach", which won the Best Cinematography Award at the 28th Asia-Pacific Film Festival, and has been involved in the shooting of Chinese films since then.

In 1986, he won the Best Cinematography at the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards for the sci-fi film "Old Lady is Sassy".

In 1990, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards for the literary youth film "The True Story of A Fei".

In 1994, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the 51st Venice International Film Festival for the martial arts movie "East Evil and West Poison".

In 1994, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the 31st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for the love movie "Red Rose and White Rose".

Christopher Doyle is his Chinese name.

When it comes to photography, he is well-known in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Having been in China for a long time, Christopher Doyle has a deep understanding of Chinese culture.

Therefore, he clearly heard the truth in Chen Qiming's words just now.

From Chen Qiming's words, he knew that if Wong Kar-wai didn't come to Chen Qiming.

For the best photography award, Chen Qiming definitely voted for him.

Now, because of Wong Kar-wai's attitude, Chen Qiming's vote may have to fly, which makes him a little unhappy with Wong Kar-wai.

However, after all, Wong Kar-wai has cooperated with him for many years, and the two are very close partners.

Therefore, as soon as the words were spoken, he felt that his tone was inappropriate, so he immediately said apologetically:

"Wang, my tone is a little bad, I hope you don't mind.

However, I was absolutely right.

My advice is not to provoke Chen Qiming, he is the owner of a large film and television company after all.

In addition, I personally advise you to keep your temper in check.

Although we all know that you are not an arrogant person, sometimes you can really mislead others by what you do. ”

"I know!"

Wong Kar-wai was silent for a moment and nodded.

However, whether he listened or not, only he knows.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Qiming, who had slept again, got up and washed up, and went to Liu Weiqiang's house to pick him up.

The two went straight to the Hong Kong Film Society together.

Liu Weiqiang was also a member of the second round of the jury of the Academy Awards this year.

So, the two of them were together yesterday.

"Have you offended Wong Kar-wai?"

On the way, after the two chatted about "Fengyun 2" for a while, Liu Weiqiang suddenly asked.

"How do you know?"

Chen Qiming asked suspiciously.

"Wong Kar-wai called me!"

Liu Weiqiang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, you don't have any major contradictions, there is no need to be like this." ”

Liu Weiqiang and Liu Zhenwei are good friends, and by the way, Wong Kar-wai also has a good relationship with him.

At noon, after Wong Kar-wai left Chen Qiming, he called him directly and said a lot of bad things about Chen Qiming on the phone.

Even, Wong Kar-wai also vaguely said that Liu Weiqiang would withdraw from "Fengyun 2", which was being filmed for Qiming Film and Television.

In this regard, Liu Weiqiang naturally did not agree.

He took "Fengyun 2" but received millions of director fees.

If the auction is boycotted, he will have to pay at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in liquidated damages.

In addition, Chen Qiming has a good personal relationship with him.

Liu Weiqiang is a smart person, and he knows very well that compared with Wong Kar-wai, Chen Qiming is obviously more helpful to his career.

Therefore, he rejected Wong Kar-wai's proposal and advised him.

It's just that Wong Kar-wai didn't agree, and obviously there is no possibility of reconciliation with Chen Qiming.

After all, they are friends, and he doesn't want to see Wong Kar-wai and Chen Qiming, a capitalist, as enemies.

Therefore, after chatting with Chen Qiming for a while, he took the initiative to talk about this matter, hoping to be a peacemaker.
