Chapter 397: Everywhere is the center
At 7:30 p.m. on October 27, 2007, the north wind was blowing in the Suzhou area, and the cold sound was gusting.
At the Taihu International Conference Center, thousands of fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet and shouted loudly.
Among the red carpet stars, the ones who got the most cheers were this year's "Happy Boys" contestants, and "Come on! Good Boy" contestant.
Even the stars in the film and television industry who have been famous for a long time do not have as many fans as these players.
The 26th Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony will be held here tonight, and these talent stars are coming to perform, but at this time they are a little noisy.
At the end of the other side of the convention center, several luxury cars are parked.
They are the next guests to walk the red carpet, and they are also the penultimate group of guests tonight.
This group of guests is the crew of "Red Cliff", this group of people includes Wu Baige, Zhao Yanzi, Lin Zhiling, Hu Jun, as well as Liang Chaowei, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Zhen and a number of stars.
They can be regarded as the most starry group of guests tonight.
At this time, the two of them had a small car, and there were five cars.
Wu Baige and Lin Zhiling sat in the same car, Wu Baige was dressed in a suit, his face was a little fierce, listening to the cheers outside, frowning.
Hong Kong Island also has a draft, and Miss Hong Kong Island and Mr. Asia have been selected before.
However, these drafts have very few fans, and the fans they attract are also the rich and wealthy women on Hong Kong Island.
Unlike the super girls in the mainland, the civilian drafts like Happy Boys attract ordinary people.
He naturally knows that in recent years, a large number of new-generation stars have been created in the mainland through the draft, although in his eyes, these people are unearthly, ugly and incompetent.
But the more mainland stars, the harder it is for Hong Kong Island stars to survive.
That's not a good thing.
After Wu Baige returned from Hollywood, he inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility in his heart, and he felt that he wanted to promote the development of the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island and avoid being overtaken by the mainland entertainment industry.
At this time, hearing the fans cheering for those mainland draft stars, he felt as if someone had transferred money from his bank account, which was very uncomfortable.
"You still have to work hard, otherwise it will be difficult to get ahead."
He couldn't help but say a word to Lin Zhiling.
Lin Zhiling nodded hurriedly, "Yes, you are right, we will work hard." ”
Her voice is loud and very polite.
Wu Baige felt irritable from the bottom of his heart.
Now the new generation is really unsightly, and no one has any characteristics.
is like Lin Zhiling, she doesn't have a good appearance or figure, but she is actually not suitable for the film and television industry.
Her face was too long and awkward on the big screen.
Her voice is even more strange, and it will be very dramatic in the original voice.
As for acting, it's something that doesn't exist.
This kind of Lin Zhiling is not to mention that she is compared with Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian, and she can't compare with Hu Huizhong and Wu Qianlian.
But Lin Zhiling, who is of such a level, is already the most talented actress in the entertainment industry.
is like another actress recommended by the entertainment industry, Da S, which makes Wu Baige even more disliked.
Lin Zhiling at least has a figure and appearance, and Big S really wants nothing.
That face is too flat, and the body is rotten.
Such a level is also embarrassed to be launched, Wu Baige did not hesitate at that time, and directly said that he took Lin Zhiling, and Big S let others push.
At this moment, the person commanding the team finally waved his hand to let the "Red Cliff" crew move forward.
Wu Baige's irritable heart eased slightly.
He turned his head, looked behind him, and saw one car after another coming up, and another car had driven into the same place where they had parked before.
Wu Baige was stunned for a moment, realizing at any time that their crew was not the finale guest, and there was a group of people behind their crew.
Who is it, is there a big name in their "Red Cliff" crew?
Wu Baige remembered that Zhang Yi was preparing for the Olympics and had no time to come over.
Chen Kaige has experienced the "Wuji" steamed bun case, and now he is much more low-key, and he also does not plan to attend the Golden Rooster Award this time.
Cheng Long was in the beautiful country and didn't come over.
So who is it?
It's even bigger than his Wu white pigeon.
Not to mention that the crew of "Red Cliff" came over, they have Liang Chaowei, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Zhao Yanzi.
It can be said that "Red Cliff" has invited big stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.
Wu Baige's brain turned sharply, and he still didn't expect that in addition to Zhang Yimou and Kai Zige, Cheng Long, there were also more big-name directors and actors than him.
Could it be that a Hollywood superstar is coming?
It's impossible, wouldn't there be no rumors when people came?
With doubts, the convoy of the crew of "Red Cliff" stopped in front of the red carpet, and then a group of people walked the red carpet together.
At this time, Zhao Yanzi was still very popular, and the fans who were watching immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Then the red carpet host stepped forward to interview them.
It took about two minutes of interviews to let the "Red Cliff" crew enter the venue.
As soon as Wu Baige sat down, he heard cheers outside, but it was not very loud, and it was not comparable to the crew of "Red Cliff" just now.
He sneered in his heart.
However, the interview of the next crew seemed to be longer, Wu Baige sat down and waited for seven minutes before he saw the people entering the venue.
Excluding the time for walking, the next group of guests interviewed the red carpet host for four or five minutes.
Who is this, is it a crew that is bigger than "Red Cliff".
At this moment, the entire conference center was quiet for a few minutes, and Wu Baige couldn't help but turn around and saw a man and a woman walking in hand in hand.
Both of them are very young, the man is tall and handsome in a suit and leather shoes, and the woman is in a red dress, which is full of brilliance.
Who is this?
"Director Li, this way."
Feng Xiaogang next to him stood up and waved hello.
Wu Baige realized that the seat next to him was not yet occupied, he glanced at the name plate and saw three words - Li Shengyao.
With the three words "Li Shengyao" coming into view, some rumors about Li Dadao and the impression of Li Dadao gradually converged into a clear portrait in Wu Baige's mind.
This person is director Lee Shengyao.
This person had a global box office of more than 300 million last year's "Hurricane Rescue", and this year's "The Hangover" has a global box office of more than 400 million, and the cost is very low, and the producers have made a lot of money.
It is said that this time Disney took the initiative to hold a celebration banquet for "The Hangover", which shows that Disney is very satisfied with the box office of "The Hangover".
If it is Li Dadao, it is the finale guest...... There is nothing to say about that.
Wu Baige has been in Hollywood, there have been scenery and low tides, he knows very well that Hollywood is not a place for typesetting, whoever can make money is the uncle.
Now it seems that internal entertainment is about the same.
In the eyes of the organizers of the Golden Rooster Award, a popular director like Li Shengyao is more important than him.
Wu Baige's mood was a little low, and then he couldn't help but sneer.
What a glory he once had, "Changing Face" had a big reputation, and "Mission Impossible 2" had a global box office of 560 million.
But just two movies are not enough, and they have not been driven out of Hollywood.
Don't be complacent, where there are victorious generals, one day you will be driven out.
At this moment, Li Shengyao walked over.
Wu Baige immediately changed his face to a smile and greeted him cordially.
"Director Li, you are really amazing, you are the pride of our Chinese circle."
Li Dadao quickly sat down.
Wu Baige sat on his left, and Feng Xiaogang sat on his right.
Feng Xiaogang seemed to have endless words, and Li Shengyao just sat down and chatted.
Wu Baige sat on the other side and listened very refreshingly.
Most of Feng Xiaogang's words are touting Li Dadao, and he says a lot, this sycophant is really natural and smooth.
Wu Baige pouted.
Dogleg No. 1.
At this time, the awards party had not yet started, and not long after Li Shengyao sat down, Ning Hao came over, he came over to greet Li Dadao, and also said some flattering words.
Wu Baige's eyes are about to roll to the Pacific Ocean.
Dogleg No. 2.
After Ning Hao left, Hong Jinbao, Wu Whale, and many others came over to say hello to Li Shengyao.
Dogleg No. 3, No. 4, No. 5...... Number n.
In the back, Wu Baige didn't know how many people had come.
In the entire conference center, since Director Li sat down, he is the most shining person on the scene, and he is the center of the scene.
Wu Baige never thought that Li Shengyao already had such prestige and power in the mainland.
By the time the awards party officially began, there were still a lot fewer people coming.
Wu Baige felt that his ears were much clearer.
"Director Li, I am very confident in "Assembly Number" now, and after your correction, I feel that this movie has reached a new level."
Feng Xiaogang next to him was still touting Li Dadao.
When Wu Baige heard this, his heart moved.
He usually doesn't care much about domestic entertainment, but he didn't expect that Li Shengyao had helped Feng Xiaogang shoot "Assembly Number".
Although Li Shengyao is young and flamboyant, his strength in making commercial films is indeed strong.
Needless to say, the previous TV series entered the film industry later, and the movies filmed did not lose money, and they made money one by one.
can even write a comedy movie with a very magnesium national flavor.
That's a rare point.
So can Director Li help him watch "Red Cliff"?
Wu Baige couldn't help but feel a little hot when he thought that he hadn't looked down on those dogs before, but he quickly adjusted his mood, and when Feng Xiaogang and Li Shengyao's words stopped, he asked cheekily: "Director Li, do you have time to help me read the script of "Red Cliff" next?"
Li Shengyao shook his head, "I'm sorry, Director Wu, I don't have time for the next step, we have already prepared for "Hurricane Rescue 2", and we should join the group to make a new movie." ”
"So fast."
"Well, it's rare that Brother Cheng Long has time, so hurry up and shoot."
Wu Baige was embarrassed to say anything, so he could only smile bitterly and nodded.
He thought about it for a while, and planned to call Han Sanping later and ask Han Sanping to ask.
……
This year's Academy Awards ceremony was held in Suzhou, and the biggest winner was not the actor Fu Dalong, nor the actress Yan Shanyan.
is another queen of double egg yolk - Liu Jialing.
Sister Liu has been mixed on Hong Kong Island for so many years, and she was crushed to death by Maggie Cheung and Lin Qingxia at her peak.
Now that Lin Qingxia and Maggie Cheung have retired one after another, she has finally come out.
She was originally from Suzhou, and she can be regarded as the daughter of Suzhou, this time the Golden Rooster Award was presented in Suzhou, and she won the award, which is naturally even more beautiful.
Li Shengyao watched "Curiosity Kills the Cat" in his previous life, the movie is average, as for Sister Liu's acting skills, in his opinion, it is not comparable to Yan Shanyan.
Of course, even if he thinks so in his heart, Li Shengyao will not say it.
Even if Sister Liu's acting skills are not top-notch, there are always middle and upper ones.
Nicholas Tse and Ting Jingtian can both win the actor, so it is not so incredible for her to win the award.
After the awards ceremony, there was a celebration banquet, and the stars, directors, producers, and most of the people on the scene passed.
Li Shengyao naturally took Chen Hao over.
He's still in the spotlight.
Liu Jialing took Liang Chaowei's hand and came to Li Dadao, asking Li Shengyao to take more care of them in the future.
Liang Chaowei smiled humbly, and his eyes were a little evasive.
He seems to be a bit introverted.
Li Shengyao naturally said some good things.
Yan Shanyan also came over soon, congratulating Li Shengyao on his achievements in the beautiful country.
"Director Li, if you have a role that suits me, call me at any time."
Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "No problem." ”
He coped with the star directors for a while, then found a place, sat down, and looked at the others with a smile.
Chen Hao was dragged by a female star to chat.
Li Shengyao quickly noticed that Fu Dalong was sitting on a chair against the wall on the other side of the banquet hall.
Fu Dalong won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor with "Tengu".
However, there were not many people who talked to him in the past.
Although he is wearing a suit and leather shoes and holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, he obviously has some distance from other stars.
This is an actor with personality.
Feng Xiaogang brought a glass of wine, touched a glass with Fu Dalong, and the two of them separated after chatting for a few words.
Fu Da Long is still sitting there.
Feng Xiaogang came to Li Shengyao, he sat down, and muttered: "That kid doesn't talk about a little human feelings, he is really high." ”
Li Shengyao smiled, "It's just a different pursuit, he likes quiet acting." ”
Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Sooner or later, I have to withdraw from the circle." ”
He then took a sip of his wine and got up to leave.
This is the way this world is, some people are very proactive, like to communicate with the outside world, and share everything about themselves.
Some people don't like this, they don't want to be high, they just want to sit by themselves, they feel happier to be alone.
Lee Shengyao should be considered somewhere in between.
He doesn't really like to be alone, and when he is home alone, he feels lonely.
But he only likes to have heart-to-heart relationships with Chen Hao and Dong Xuan, and he likes to share with his own women.
Just when Li Shengyao's eyes were flying and wandering at will, he suddenly met Fu Dalong's eyes, and he smiled and nodded.
Fu Dalong also smiled and nodded.
Li Shengyao then turned his gaze away, but at this moment, Fu Dalong left his seat and came to the opposite side of Li Shengyao with a wine glass.
"Director Li, have a drink."
"Okay."
The glass made a pleasant cross talk, and Fu Dalong raised the wine glass and took a sip gently.
Quite a few people have noticed the situation here.
When they saw that Fu Dalong took the initiative to talk to Li Shengyao, they all showed disdain.
I thought you were high, but when you met an international director, you still had to pat yourself on the back.
Li Shengyao didn't think about it so much, he followed and said: "I watched "Tengu" and "Purple Sun", and they all acted very well. ”
Fu Dalong smiled humbly, "Director Li, you have won the award." ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "I watched "The Hangover" on Fenghua Video, and there is something I don't understand in particular, and I want to ask you for advice. ”
"The Hangover" can't be screened in theaters, but it can be webcast.
"You say."
Fu Dalong organized the language, "Director Li, how did you write such an American comedy as "The Hangover", I was bored recently and wanted to write a script, but I feel that how to write it, how wrong it is." ”
"And you are a master screenwriter, you can write any script, can you share your experience with me."
Li Shengyao smiled and nodded.
"It's a trifle."
"The creation of the script actually comes from a few pieces of inspiration, and sometimes we suddenly have some good ideas, and we think it will be a good story, but the fact is that such inspiration is actually very thin, and how to expand at this time is the key."
"When I wrote 'The Hangover,' I wanted to expand on a crazy trip, and then I ruled out a lot of directions, and I thought it would be more interesting to write about what happened after their madness, so Crazy Night was almost never filmed, just some scenes appeared in the recollection."
"If you have some ideas, inspirations, then write them down, and then use the elimination method, one by one, to find the line that you find most interesting."
"As for the slang and American humor of "The Hangover", I actually just watched Hollywood comedies and visited their forums and jotted down some interesting sentences."
Hearing this, Fu Dalong nodded, and said seriously: "Okay, thank you for your guidance." ”
"Little things."
