Chapter 150: The Golden Rooster Divides the Cake, "If Love" Kills the Quartet!
The Golden Rooster Award is a really bad thing.
Behind the various mountain connections, seniority, and semi-official influence, the Golden Rooster Award has become worse and worse year by year, and the scolding has become bigger and bigger year by year after entering the 21st century.
But the old men of the Golden Rooster Award still hold on to their old routines, ignore all criticism from the outside world, go their own way behind closed doors, and still play their own games.
This year's Golden Rooster Award is an obvious example.
On the morning of September 19, Wu Yuan arrived at the hotel with Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and Zhang Guorong.
Within two hours, Zhang Xueyou from the crew of "If Love", as well as Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, Luo Jin, Zhou Yang, Zhu Yawen, and Yuan Hong from the crew of "Your Name" came to the hotel to meet.
"Director Wu, can we win the award?" As soon as they met, Liu Yifei excitedly held Wu Yuan's hand and asked.
I don't know if she is excited about the movie nomination, or because she can hold Wu Yuan's hand in this way.
Wu Yuan shook his head with a smile, pulled his hand out of her palm, and patted her on the shoulder: "It's good to be nominated, and it's not extravagant to win the award." β
"Our "Your Name" is not a movie that can be liked by the Golden Rooster judges."
God, you want a group of sixty or seventy-year-old old men to agree with the love story of high school students in "The Name of Ling" who cross time and space and go both ways, what kind of joke is this?
Hu Ge on the side was more clear, he nodded and said excitedly: "Being nominated for the best feature film is already the greatest recognition for us." β
"Okay, I appreciate your contented mentality." Wu Yuan laughed.
For these rookie actors in the crew of "Your Name", it is already a very exciting thing to come to the Golden Rooster Awards to see the world.
Everyone sat in the living room of the big suite, changed into dresses and suits, and made up again, and after waiting for long, the two crews were notified that they could go to the venue to walk the red carpet.
The crew of "If Love" went a little further, and stepped on the red carpet at a little after five o'clock.
The crew of "Your Name" was relatively late, and it took more than six o'clock to walk on the red carpet.
Wu Yuan and the crew members got out of the two courtesy cars, he took Liu Yifei and Hu Ge on the red carpet first, and the others followed behind the three of them.
"Ahhh!!hhh Yifei!! Sissi!! I like you!! β
"Ahhh Hugo is so handsome!! Hugo look at me!! β
As soon as they walked on the red carpet, the local fans who were stopped by the security guards on both sides erupted in earth-shattering screams and cheers.
The reporters on both sides who had been prepared for a long time were also frantically taking pictures.
Wu Yuan, who was almost used to this kind of thing, didn't blink his eyes even if he didn't wear glasses, but the pace on his feet quickened a lot.
Liu Yifei and Hu Ge, who walked the red carpet for the first time, were still a little nervous and at a loss, and they didn't know what to do to react, but under the leadership of Wu Yuan, they walked directly to the end of the red carpet in less than two steps.
By the time he reacted, he was already being interviewed by CCTV.
Today's Golden Rooster Awards are broadcast live by CCTV, and there are also reporters interviewing after the red carpet.
Wu Yuan held the microphone with the CCTV station logo and greeted the camera with ease.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying hello, the host reporter threw a somewhat sharp topic.
"Director Wu, the outside world says that this year is the first year of co-productions between the mainland and Hong Kong Island, what do you think about this?"
"Do you think there is a lot of potential for co-productions between the mainland and Hong Kong Island?"
"It's a co-production." Wu Yuan opened his mouth and glanced at the camera that was broadcasting live, although he didn't like co-production in his heart, he still nodded and said: "It's the general trend to do co-production now." β
"The glorious era of Hong Kong films has passed, and the future Chinese film market is in the mainland.
But he still couldn't hold back, and said in a weird manner: "But I have also heard that many directors on Hong Kong Island sell dog meat with sheep's heads, and they just hire a few mainland staff in the crew, and they apply for co-production qualifications in a grand manner." β
"And it was approved, so I took the treatment of a co-production and made a Hong Kong film made by the Hong Kong Island team and actors."
"I think this behavior must be strictly investigated, and we can't let a good policy be ruined by a handful of rat droppings."
The reporter originally just wanted Wu Yuan to say a few words about the scene of a family on Hong Kong Island in the mainland, but he didn't expect Wu Yuan to spray directly, so he had to quickly change the topic and said: "Well, thank you Director Wu for your suggestion." β
"Then this Golden Rooster Trip, "Your Name" was nominated for three awards, does Director Wu have any expectations?"
"Of course I look forward to it, although this is the second time my film has been nominated, it is the first time I have come to the Golden Rooster Awards."
Wu Yuan said eloquently: "Being nominated represents the recognition of the jury, and if you can win the award, it will be even more satisfying." β
Anyone can say anything about the scene.
"Can you tell the audience about your new movie "Painted Skin"?" The host gave Wu Yuan a chance to promote the new movie.
"Painted Skin" will be the first magic blockbuster in China, the story of this film is brand new, completely different from the previous "Painted Skin" filmed on Hong Kong Island, and the special effects are also at the level of the benchmark."
"I believe that when this film is released, it will bring a novel audio-visual feast to all domestic audiences."
"I also want to use this movie to tell our domestic audience that we in China can also make our own magic blockbuster!"
After a little bit of "Hong Kong Island Co-production", Wu Yuan's next interview was more polite.
The host simply asked a few innocuous questions, and ended the interview in a friendly mood.
Wu Yuan also walked into the awards scene with the actors.
As soon as he entered the scene, Zhou Xun, who had arrived one step earlier, trotted over and grabbed Wu Yuan's arm: "Director Wu, did the reporter ask you about "Painted Skin"? β
"What, I asked you?" Wu Yuan glanced at her obliquely: "You won't say something without a door, right?" β
Liu Yifei, who was standing behind the two of them, saw Zhou Xun's intimate movements, frowned, stepped forward and squeezed between the two, "Director Wu, Teacher Zhou, what are you talking about?" β
Zhou Xun glared at the little girl with some amusement, and waved his hand: "What is your name Teacher Zhou, you can call me Brother Xun and Sister Xun." β
As a veteran of the love field, she could see at a glance that this little girl was thinking about Wu Yuan, and the grinning Zhou Xun didn't mind this, so she reached out and patted Wu Yuan's shoulder:
"How can you!"
"It was the reporter who asked me what the role I was playing, and I said that the director asked me to play the leading role." Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xun laughed first.
Wu Yuan also shook his head and smiled, "If you talk nonsense, you will still say it." β
Talking and laughing, Zhou Xun also led the crew of "Your Name" to their seats.
The organizers arranged it very cleverly.
The crew of "Your Name" was sandwiched between the crew of "If Love" and "Ambush on All Sides", and the crew of "Mobile Phone" was in front.
After Wu Yuan took the crew members to sit down, it didn't take long for tonight's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony to officially begin.
"Brother Xun, I'm afraid you're going to win a golden rooster queen this time." Looking at the lively opening dance on the stage, Wu Yuan teased Zhou Xun with a smile.
It's not a joke, Wu Yuan really thinks that Zhou Xun should win the golden rooster, and it is even possible to rely on "If Love" to get the three gold medals at once.
Originally, on the original trajectory, she won the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue with "If Love".
Now that "If Love" has been directed by Zhang Guorong, the finished film and Chen Ke's new version can be regarded as a moment of brightness, so it is very likely to win the Golden Rooster Queen.
Without him, Zhang Guorong is now the favorite of the Golden Rooster jury.
When "The Undertaker" was shortlisted that year, Wu Yuan didn't go, it was Zhang Guorong, as the representative of the crew, who honored the Golden Rooster and won the Golden Rooster Actor.
This year, he came to Golden Rooster with his directorial works, considering his identity as a Hong Kong Island filmmaker, and the crew is all in the Hong Kong circle.
At present, the film industry of the two sides of the strait and the three places is engaged in great unity and united front, and Zhang Guorong will definitely be treated no less than Chen Kexin.
Take a look at the shortlist.
"If Love" was shortlisted for five awards: Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Cinematography!
Even if the best feature film is unlikely to be awarded, the Best Actress and Best Director awards can still be expected.
Wu Yuan feels that among the five awards, the most likely one to win is the Best Actress.
The honor of the three golden actresses of the weekly news was added.
But Zhou Xun doesn't see it that way, she doesn't think she can win the golden rooster.
"Director Wu, don't coax me, I'm not a child." She rolled her eyes: "With the international chapter and Teacher Zheng in front, how can I get the actress?" β
Let's not talk about the international chapter, Mr. Zheng is the heroine of "Beautiful Shanghai", she is an old-timer born in 1936, and she has acted in dramas for almost 50 years from dramas to movies.
The movie "Beautiful Shanghai" is another film about women, and almost all the rich colors in the play are given to women.
With his performance in the movie, Mr. Zheng is indeed worthy of a Golden Rooster Queen.
Zhou Xun doesn't think that he can fight with her, even if he really fights, he will be criticized by public opinion in the outside world, thinking that she is not worthy of her name and morality.
Wu Yuan didn't fight with her, shook his head, and said to Zhang Guorong: "Leslie, I think you are going to win the best director today." β
"Director Wu, what's wrong with you today?" Zhang Guorong raised his head and glared at him funny, "Why are you so predictive, this is not your style." β
Wu Yuan showed an unfathomable smile, "I'm not predicting. β
As soon as the words fell, the Best Actress Award was just announced on the stage.
"The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 24th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards isββ"
"Congratulations! Zheng Zhenyao "Beautiful Shanghai"! β
"And the weekly news, "If Love"!"
Double yolk eggs!
Golden Rooster Award featured double yolk eggs!
Zhou Xun was dumbfounded, opened his mouth with an expression of disbelief, and pulled Wu Yuan's suit jacket hard: "Yuan'er, you really hit it!" β
"Sister is the queen of the Golden Rooster!"
It can be seen that Zhou Xun was indeed shocked and excited to the extreme, and he shouted "Yuan'er".
Wu Yuan laughed, stood up and picked up Zhou Xun and hugged him: "Go on stage to receive the award, the new Golden Rooster Queen." β
Zhang Guorong was also surprised for a short time, stood up with a smile on his face and hugged Zhou Xun: "Congratulations." β
The other actors and actresses around them all sent congratulations.
Zhou Xun was congratulated, proudly cocked his chin, and walked quickly onto the stage to accept the award.
"Thank you, thank you Golden Rooster for giving me this award, this is the first domestic actress award I won, and I will never forget this day."
"I also want to thank Director Wu Yuan, who came to me with the script of "If Love" and asked me to play the role of Sun Na."
"I really like Sunna, and when I was shooting, I used to think that Sunna was who I was, because I was so similar to her."
"Finally, I would like to thank our director, Mr. Zhang Guorong, he is really a very good director and a genius!"
"The singing is good, and the acting is an actor, and now that I am a director, I can also make such a good work."
"He is the best genius I have ever seen, the best genius in the entertainment industry, better than Director Wu."
"After all, Director Wu can't release records." At the end, Zhou Xun showed a mischievous smile.
Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the audience, also made a helpless shrug expression at the camera facing him.
The other guests and the audience all laughed.
Wu Yuan really rarely has a deflated time, but in front of Zhang Guorong, who is an all-round singer and dancer, he is rarely deflated.
"Director Wu, do you want to release an album next year?" Zhang Guorong smiled and bent down to Wu Yuan's ear: "I can help you contact the excellent producers of Hong Kong and Taiwan." β
"With your face, if you go to be a singing and dancing idol, you will definitely be popular."
Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to Wu Yuan, also covered his mouth and smiled: "Senior brother, otherwise you will go to Japan with me to learn singing and dancing!" β
"In my heart you are the best, and you can do what others can do!"
"You two might as well spare me." Wu Yuan shook his head violently with a look of resistance: "Just being a director is tired enough, I don't have the energy like Leslie." β
Laughing, Zhou Xun had already returned to his seat with the actress trophy, and the award ceremony continued.
Chen Kun, who had been watching the award process very quietly, showed a little apprehension on his face, and said in a low voice: "Yuan'er, do you think it is possible for me to win the best actor?" β
"Your mouth is very smart, congratulations to me in advance on winning the actor."
Metaphysics is not advisable!
Wu Yuan shook his head with a smile, and said seriously: "Kun'er, the light of the movie "If Love" is all on Xun'er, and you actors are all here to set off her." β
"If you want to get the actor, I'm afraid it's difficult."
"I don't think it's fun."
Chen Kun actually understands this truth, it is Zhou Xun who is brilliant in "If Love", not him.
But when he really heard Wu Yuan say this, he still sighed in disappointment.
Who doesn't want to win the actor?
On stage, the award ceremony continued.
After another award for Best Supporting Actor was awarded, the presenters began to present the Best Director Award.
Zhang Guorong was visibly nervous.
He has won a lot of awards for singers and actors, and he rarely gets nervous about winning awards anymore.
But for the director category, this is the first time he has been nominated!
Although I have been comforting myself in my heart, as a rookie director, the nomination of the second work is already a success, don't expect to win the award too much, but at this time, it is inevitable to be nervous and look forward to it, hoping for a miracle.
"The winner of the Best Director Award at the 24th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards isββ"
"Congratulations! Peng Xiaolian "Beautiful Shanghai"
"And Zhang Guorong's "If Love"
Zhang Yimou and Wu Yuan, who were also nominated, whether they were the first directors in China or internationally renowned directors, missed this award.
Zhang Guorong seemed to have been hit by a pie falling from the sky, and the whole person was stunned.
It was Wu Yuan and Chen Kun who reacted quickly, shaking his shoulders left and right, shaking him awake.
"Director! You've won a prize! β
"Leslie, it's time to accept the award!"
