Chapter 593 Reading Club
Wang Shu, as the director, came to host the reading club.
Soon he discovered that except Liu Yan and Jiang Wu, the other six people had almost understood the script, and the next step was to play against each other to figure out the roles.
The purpose of this is to allow the actors to get into the scene faster after joining the group and to facilitate the filming work.
Zhao Liying was very serious throughout the whole process and seemed to cherish this opportunity.
Wang Shu nodded secretly. He prefers this kind of actor and will give him a chance.
As for those young masters and young ladies who are overbearing, he is usually ugly.
As a great Oscar-winning director, it’s not like he can’t find actors to act in his films, so there’s no need to support these people.
There are many actors like this in domestic entertainment.
In other words, when the traffic era comes, there will be a lot of actors like this.
End of the morning.
Since it was the National Day, there were a lot of tourists in the capital. Instead of eating out, everyone ordered meals to be delivered to Yishu Company and settled in the reception room.
We didn’t order a box lunch. As a host, Wang Shu treated guests in a less shabby manner. He ordered stir-fry dishes.
"Director Wang, are you going to attend this Golden Rooster Award?"
A few people gathered in the reception room to eat. Deng Chao looked at Wang Shu and asked curiously.
On September 8, the nomination list was announced.
Deng Chao was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at this Golden Rooster Award for his role in "Assembly Number".
Deng Chao, who wants to get into the film industry, is eager to win awards, so he will definitely run there.
As for Sun Li, Wang Shu didn’t know if she was going.
In the original timeline, Sun Li went.
Because Sun Li was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award for "Painted Skin".
Now, because Sun Li participated in Wang Shu's movie and did not take over the filming of "Painted Skin", she was not nominated.
Not being nominated does not mean that you have not received an invitation.
“I won’t go.” Wang Shu saw everyone looking over curiously and answered truthfully.
Deng Chao and others were a little surprised when they heard this. Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director, so it is impossible not to invite him to the Golden Rooster Awards.
Could it be?
While several people were thinking about it, Yang Wei asked directly: "Didn't the Golden Rooster Award invite you?"
Chen Kun and others also wanted to ask, but they couldn't open their mouths.
When I saw Yang Wei asking, I couldn't help but say that Yang Wei happened to be here, otherwise it would be difficult to ask the reason.
"Of course I'm invited, but I have a lot of things to do and I'm too busy to go." Wang Shu still answered truthfully.
Sun Li, Chen Hao, Chen Kun, Deng Chao and others heard this and knew that most likely Wang Shu did not want to go.
Otherwise, if you spare some time, you can take a trip.
“I heard that many people will go to this Golden Rooster Awards.” Deng Chao said immediately when he saw that Wang Shu didn’t want to go.
"Haha." Wang Shu smiled after hearing this, completely unmoved, "I can't spare the time, and I don't care if there are many people going."
Of course he knows. "I heard" there will be a lot of people going.
Because this is how the organizers of the Golden Rooster Awards promote it to the outside world.
However, when the three-day Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival opened, the organizers’ lies were immediately exposed.
The reporters who went to the scene only saw the Golden Rooster Awards with dim stars, not the Golden Rooster Awards with big names, large numbers of people and bright stars.
After hearing this, Deng Chao looked at Sun Li and said nothing more.
Everyone present is a filmmaker, and everyone knows that Wang Shu is the only Oscar-winning director from the Mainland.
If he can go to the Golden Rooster Awards, he will definitely be able to increase the reputation of the Golden Rooster Awards, making this Golden Rooster Awards more topical and valuable.
But Wang Shu refused to go.
"Brother Chao, you seem to have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, right? Are you going?" Liu Yan looked at Deng Chao and asked curiously.
Although she is older than Sun Li, she is younger than Deng Chao, so there is nothing wrong with calling her Brother Chao.
Deng Chao glanced at Wang Shu and said, "I should go."
Liu Yan got the answer, turned to look at Wang Shu, and asked: "Director Wang, who do you think can win the award?"
Wang Shu answered speechlessly, "I don't even know who has been nominated. "It's clear, how do you know who will win the prize?"
He was speechless, as were Sun Li, Chen Hao, Chen Kun, Deng Chao and others.
The Golden Rooster Award is one of the three major film awards in the mainland and is also the most artistic film award. They have been paying attention to it.
The Oscar director in front of him didn’t seem to take it seriously at all.
Is this the Oscar-winning director?
I admire you.
"Ah? Director Wang, you don't know?" Liu Yan was surprised and couldn't help but ask.
Wang Shu asked, still speechless: "Why should I know?"
This made sense, and Liu Yan was speechless for a moment.
She wanted to say, this is the Golden Rooster Award.
One of the three major film awards in mainland China, the most artistic Golden Rooster Award!
Then I thought that Wang Shu was not only a great director at the Oscars, but also a frequent visitor to the top three in Europe.
In contrast, the Golden Rooster Award is really not enough.
Liu Yan opened his mouth and said dejectedly: "Okay, you are awesome."
Everyone was happy when they saw Liu Yan's appearance and knew why.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful.
Immediately afterwards, you and I guessed who would win the prize. Wang Shu pretended not to pay attention or understand, and only listened but did not speak.
Of course he knows who the winner of this Golden Rooster Award is.
The best feature film (Best Picture), with a double yolk egg, was won by Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" and Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly".
The Best Director Award was won by Feng Xiaogang.
The Best Actor Award was won by Wu Gang for "Iron Man".
Best Actress, again a double yolk egg, was won by Zhou Xun and Jiang Wenli.
The best film goes to "Assembly", which is not bad.
After all, this is the first war commercial film to be successful at the box office, and it also has some special features and epoch-making significance, so it is understandable to win the award.
But Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" is also an art film shot with commercial techniques. To put it simply, it is a commercial film.
I went to the Berlin Film Festival without success, and was ridiculed by the media after returning home.
Then, he won both the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Feature Film and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Film.
I won’t talk about the Outstanding Feature Film Award. After all, it doesn’t say best. There can indeed be several outstanding films.
However, the Golden Rooster Award is for the best feature film.
The best means there is only one.
Instead of giving Director Zhang Da the Best Director Award, I still want to give Director Zhang Da the Best Feature Film Award.
It’s boring.
"Director Wang, Director Feng's "Assembly" and Director Chen's "Mei Lanfang" are both nominated for the Best Feature Film Award. Which of these two films do you think has a better chance of winning?" Seeing that Wang Shu remained silent, Sun Li immediately found a topic to ask.
"Uh." Seeing everyone looking over, Wang Shu pretended to open his mouth, and then said, "If I say that I haven't watched these two movies, would you believe it?"
After hearing this, everyone said, Is speechless.
Whether it is "Assembly" or "Mei Lanfang", they are all huge movies directed by great directors. Who among them has not gone to the cinema to watch them?
I felt relieved when I thought that Wang Shu was a great Oscar-winning director.
As we all know, Wang Shu’s movies tend to be Hollywood-style.
Therefore, it is really possible that he has no interest in these movies.
“I believe it!” Liu Yan pouted.
She also didn't go to see "Mei Lanfang", Chen Kaige's movie, and she didn't even contribute a dime to the box office.
Hmph.
If it hadn’t been for Director Wang back then, he might not have been able to survive in the capital.
Although others were speechless, they actually believed it.
After all, Wang Shu is an Oscar director and has been in Hollywood for a long time in the past two years.
It’s normal to not have time to watch or not interested.
In the afternoon, the reading will continue.
It ended in the evening.
For dinner, we did not eat together, but went back to our respective homes.
Sun Li and Deng Chao walked together. The two left Yishu Company. Deng Chao sighed with emotion: "Director Wang is really busy. We all have stopped working and gone back. He Still staying in the company to work overtime."
"How could there be so many movies released if we didn't work so hard?" Sun Li answered.
She didn't see anything on the surface, but she felt quite distressed in her heart.
“Yes.” Deng Chao agreed, “Compared with Director Wang, I feel like I have fallen.”
"Obviously I can work that hard, but I don't."
Hearing this, Sun Li couldn't help but said truthfully: "It's not that you don't, it's that you don't have a play date."
" ." These words were too true, and Deng Chaodun felt a critical blow.
It’s not that he doesn’t have any dramas, it’s that he doesn’t have high-quality dramas.
He also knew that this was what Sun Li meant.
Deng Chao couldn't help but said: "I also want to work hard like Director Wang, but I don't have the chance."
When Sun Li heard this, she said truthfully again: "Director Wang wrote, directed and worked hard by himself."
“You can also do this So."
Deng Chao shook his head and sighed: "I'm not as talented as Director Wang."
After saying that, he sighed again, "So talented and so hardworking. , there is really no one left.”
"Yes." Sun Li responded, "Two years ago, many people in the industry looked down on Director Wang."
"Now, Director Wang ignores Director Wang when he is invited to the Golden Rooster Awards."< br>
They are all people in the industry, and they clearly know that in the two years since Wang Shu first debuted, many people in the industry looked at Wang Shu in a colored light.
Now that Wang Shu has become an Oscar-winning director, everything has changed instantly.
“So, you still have to step onto the international stage and break into Hollywood.” Deng Chao added, “As long as you step onto the international stage and break into Hollywood, your status will rise instantly.”
"For example, Zhang Ziyi went to Hollywood and was paid 1,000,000 yuan."
"She is the best actor in our mainland."
"Not to mention Director Wang who won the Oscar for directing. A great director!"
"Zhang Ziyi has 1000W, but I only have 100W." Sun Li curled her lips, looking shocked.
"Haha." Deng Chao couldn't help but be amused when he knew that Sun Li was not really hit, but was doing so on purpose.
Then he added, "Director Wang is also an Oscar-winning director who can bring people to Hollywood. As long as he can participate in a co-production directed by Director Wang in the future, he will have the opportunity to enter Hollywood."
After that, he added Secretly regretting, "It's a pity that I didn't get a role in the movie "Pacific Rim", otherwise it would really be possible to successfully go to Hollywood with the help of this movie."
