After Li Shengyao went south to Ningbo, the crew of "1937" was in full swing in Xiangshan Film and Television City.

After being busy for a few days, Director Li left Ningbo and went to Shanghai, and then joined Zhang Ziyi and Duan Yihong to attend the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival.

The Shanghai Film Festival is not so strict with the requirements for participating films, and they do not need to premiere at the festival.

"Border Killer" has entered the competition for a total of seven awards, namely Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack, Best Editing, and Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Film.

Li Shengyao feels that there is hope for the best cinematography, editing, and soundtrack, and as for other awards, it should be important to participate.

There is no accident, this guy Bingbing is here to rub the red carpet again, and he is still the same as the one who is glamorous.

Li Shengyao was a little speechless.

After the opening ceremony, the organizers had a small cocktail party.

Li Shengyao, Zhang Ziyi, and Duan Yihong attended together, and the three of them sat together for a while, and then dispersed.

Li Shengyao picked up a piece of watermelon on the table and was about to eat watermelon when Feng Xiaogang came over with a wine glass.

The complexion of the little steel cannon is getting whiter and whiter, not only his face, but also his hands and his neck are all white and frightening.

However, his complexion was very good, his face was happy, and the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Sugar Mountain Earthquake" is about to be released, and now the popularity is very good, Feng Xiaogang feels that this movie will have good results.

When he looked for Li Shengyao, he just said a few words, hoping that Fenghua Cinema would give more films at that time.

The little steel cannon is still very good at talking.

Li Shengyao got along with him quite happily, and Li Shengyao was not polite to Xiaogangcang's request, and waved his hand, "No problem, the film schedule must be guaranteed." ”

In fact, the box office of "Sugar Mountain Earthquake" is more than 600 million, forming a movie-watching boom, and the theater chain is eager to schedule more films.

Xiao Gang Cannon didn't know, and when he heard Li Shengyao's words, he raised his glass gratefully, "Director Li, my heart is here." ”

Li Shengyao smiled and then ate watermelon.

Xiao Gang Cannon drank it all, took a sip, and then said: "Director Li, I heard that you are looking for thousands of group actors for your new movie this time?"

There is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone the entertainment industry.

Li Shengyao nodded, "More than four thousand." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Gangcang gave a thumbs up, "Director Li, awesome, you're going to make a big scene this time." ”

"Yes, it's going to be a big scene."

Xiao Gang Cannon thought for a while, and then said: "Director Li, when I first filmed "The Assembly", at most, there were seven or eight hundred group performances, at that time, we were all the first two big, so many people, it was really difficult to shoot well."

"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's really too difficult, hundreds of people are more difficult to manage than hundreds of ducks, I still have a few assistant directors here, if you can use it, I can lend it to you."

When Li Shengyao heard this, he raised his cup and touched the small steel cannon, "Okay, I remember, if I am short of manpower here, I will call you." ”

"Small, on call."

The little steel cannon is a bit of a charlatan, although it looks ugly, but it can be a friend.

Feng Xiaogang left soon after, and Li Shengyao ate watermelon and apples while dealing with the star artists who came to say hello.

At this moment, Lao Mouzi walked over with a smile on his face, "Director Li, it's very leisurely." ”

Lao Mouzi wore a tunic suit, slacks, and sneakers, and was dressed very plainly.

His "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" is being filmed, he feels very good, how satisfied he is with how to shoot, and now he is in a good mood.

For this romantic literary film that reflects a special period, he shot it very comfortably, as if he had found the feeling of making literary films in his early years.

He believes that the bad impact caused by "The Legend of the Three Guns" will soon fade, and he can prove that he is still the best director in China with his strength.

"It's okay, you're in a good mood."

"Director Li, my movie is going very well, and I'm in a good mood."

He paused, then said, "I sometimes think about the next movie, and I think I should try a war movie."

Lao Zhang is straight, and he said what he meant directly.

He is indeed a man who loves a challenge.

Just like before "Hero", he made literary films, later made costume blockbusters, and then made comedy movies like "The Legend of the Three Guns".

Lao Mouzi is an ambitious person who is willing to step out of his comfort zone.

Li Shengyao naturally knows what movie Lao Mouzi is going to make next, isn't it "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?

Ni Nick is really good-looking when twisted.

Although this movie has an average reputation in China, Li Shengyao likes it a lot.

"yes, that's an interesting idea."

Zhang Yi smiled, "I heard that you are going to make a big scene now, you want thousands of group performances, thousands of costumes, and you have to clear out a hundred acres of fields, is the scene so big?" ”

Li Shengyao glanced at Zhang Yimou, and then said: "It's not that I want to make such a big scene, the plot is set, I'm not to show off the big scene, it's just that the plot needs it."

Zhang Yimou nodded, "I discussed with Zhang Weiping, and he said that he would invite thousands of people, I really can't imagine how to manage so many people?" ”

When Zhang Yi filmed heroes, there were many group performances.

However, this movie, with the support from above, the group actors are all real soldiers, they are highly disciplined, but they don't need Zhang Yimou to work too much.

And when it came to "The City Full of Golden Armor", the soldiers in the movie were ordinary group performances, and this time the entire director team was very tired.

It's really difficult to command hundreds of group performances to shoot.

Li Shengyao smiled, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, take your time." ”

"When I finish "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", then I will go to "1937" to visit the class and learn from you, don't refuse me."

"Definitely not."

Zhang Yi chatted for a while, and then left.

Li Shengyao is still the same as before, eat some fruit, and then deal with the people who come to say hello.

As he made his gaze, he met a pair of tired little eyes, which were from Chief Jia.

Chief Jia has returned from Cannes, and he has been preparing for the promotion of "Legend of the Sea" recently, and he is busy and tired to watch.

Li Shengyao raised his head, which was regarded as a greeting.

Section Chief Jia was slightly stunned for a moment, and then came to Li Shengyao with a wine glass.

"Director Li, your new film is going to hit Cannes next year?"

"Well, I'm not saying to win the Palme d'Or, other awards are okay."

In Lee Shengyao's previous life, "1917" won a lot at the Oscars, Golden Globe Awards, and British Academy Film Awards.

Director Li believes that he shoots well, even if he can't get the Palme d'Or, there should be no problem with some small awards.

Section Chief Jia lowered his head and shook his head imperceptibly, he didn't believe that Li Shengyao would be able to achieve results in Cannes next year, but he was not a fool, so naturally he wouldn't say it directly, "Director Li, I wish you good luck." ”
