Chapter 325: Which road is Infernal Affairs? Is there a traffic jam?
[It is reported that at the just-concluded Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" became the biggest winner, and also won multiple Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards.
Among them, the Golden Rooster Award won: Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor; the Hundred Flowers Award won: Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actor. Supporting Actors, etc.]
["I'm Not the God of Medicine" made history again, becoming the first film in history to win the most awards of its kind at the same time as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers]
[64-year-old veteran actress Zhang Lili won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and was moved to tears]
[Lin Xiaoxue won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, which caused controversy and was questioned as the "Water Queen"]
In the car returning to the hotel from the venue, Lu Qinyao, who was dressed up in her best clothes, watched the news emerge from the Internet one after another. The complex emotions in her heart were really difficult to describe.
Although this result had been expected for a long time, after the hope was directly extinguished, the loss was indeed unavoidable.
Seeing this, Xu Xiyu, who was sitting next to him, could only comfort her softly: "It's okay, I'll come next time."
Hearing this, Lu Qinyao smoothed the hem of her dress, shook her head and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, I didn't get nothing. Didn't I go up and get two awards? If I can't be a double Golden Movie Queen, I can be a double." Gold producers can do it too.”
The double-gold producer she mentioned refers to the Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Film.
When "I'm Not the God of Medicine" won these two awards, Xu Xiyu still didn't go up to receive the award, but asked Lu Qinyao, the co-producer, to go up and get it.
Of course, being a double-gold producer is just Lu Qinyao’s self-comfort.
She and Yang Xueqing are different after all. The trophy for outstanding TV series that "Crazy" won was taken away by Yang Xueqing to Xuejian Media in a coquettish manner.
I heard that she made a very large display cabinet, and she hopes to fill it up one day.
No, it wasn't just expectations, she had already put them into action. You know, in addition to awards such as the three major awards for domestic TV dramas, there are also some other award ceremonies.
Yang Xueqing's greatest pleasure now is to take the creators of "Cyclonus" to various award ceremonies to win awards.
As for Xu Xiyu, naturally he didn't have the free time to follow him.
He is very busy. In addition to handling the company's affairs every day, he also has to take time to write scripts.
"You told Lingyun last time that you wanted to write a healing movie script, right? How's the writing going?" Lu Qinyao, who didn't win the award, also put her thoughts on the new script.
"I have written a first draft, but I still need to revise it. I will show it to you as soon as I finish revising it."
After saying this, Xu Xiyu continued: "I think we have to use saturation tactics."
"Ah?" Lu Qinyao was startled when she heard this. She didn't understand such a sudden sentence at all, "What? What saturation tactics?"
"I think you can't just focus on one movie, but act in several more. In this way, your probability of winning awards will be greater. Not only that, you can even act in TV series.
In this way, you might become the first female artist in history to win Best Actress and Best Actress in the same year. "Xu Xiyu explained with a smile.
Hearing his words, Lu Qinyao's eyes and mouth opened wider and wider. When she heard it, she reached out and touched Xu Xiyu's head.
Then he said with a complicated expression: "I don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How is this nonsense? Do you think you don't have enough time to participate in so many projects?"
"Time is not a problem. Not many actors only work on one project a year. We focus on filming. I can finish a project in a month at most. But the question is, do you know what it means to be awarded Best Actress and Best Actress in the same year?"< br>
"Didn't I just say that it is the first in history." Xu Xiyu thought about it again. It seems that no one in Blue Star has achieved this achievement.
"Do you still know that you are the first in history?" Lu Qinyao said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. "Even for a movie as good as "I'm Not the God of Medicine", I couldn't win the award. I'm still thinking about winning the best actress and best actress together."
"People must have dreams. What's the difference between not having dreams and salted fish?"
"..." Lu Qinyao was speechless.
However, she smiled again soon. She leaned towards Xu Xiyu, hugged Xu Xiyu's arm and said, "Thank you."
"?" Xu Xiyu.
"Thank you for making me happy by saying these words. I think what Zhang Wenyan said when he won the Feitian Award was reasonable. People should learn to be content. I am already very lucky now."
"Do you think I was teasing you just now?" Xu Xiyu said with a dumb smile.
"No, how could it be? Of course I believe you have this ability." Lu Qinyao quickly replied.
However, even though she said she believed it, the feeling she revealed was still disbelief. This doesn't mean that she doesn't believe in Xu Xiyu's ability.
But it was the inertia of thinking in the industry for so many years and her lack of confidence in herself that made it impossible for her to imagine that she could win a Best Actress Award and a Best Actress Award at the same time.
That's right, even if she thought about it under Xu Xiyu's guidance, Lu Qinyao's target number was only one.
If she knew that Xu Xiyu planned to sweep the awards from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, she would probably have to touch Xu Xiyu's forehead to see if he was crazy.
In the car, Lu Qinyao hugged Xu Xiyu's arm and said: "I actually don't want you to do new projects with the purpose of helping me win awards. We can make TV series or movies.
The first thing to consider is quality and responsibility to the audience. We must also be responsible to the investors and colleagues who have contributed to the company. In contrast, whether I win or not should be considered last, don’t you think? ”
Lu Qinyao's words surprised Xu Xiyu. He originally thought that Lu Qinyao would be very excited after hearing his plan.
As a result, now it seems that she neither believes that it can really be done, nor does she think it is a good thing.
As a result, Xu Xiyu reached out and rubbed her head. Instead of emphasizing too much on what she wanted to do, she just replied softly: "Don't worry, I know what I know."
At the same time, Xiangjiang Jiahe.
When Cheng Guangzu saw the news that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" had won a bunch of awards, he couldn't sit still anymore. While calling his secretary to book a ticket for him, he called the company's royal staff to come over for a meeting.
Ten minutes later, a bunch of people were sitting in his office. Cheng Guangzu looked around at the crowd and said, "Have you heard about the fact that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" just swept the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
Finally, the older Jiahe director Liu Yongzhe said: "Brother Zu, what does this have to do with us?"
"It's a big deal. You don't know that Xu Xiyu and I are collaborating."
"Did you invest in "I'm Not the God of Medicine"?" Liu Yongzhe said in surprise as soon as he said this. He dared his boss to secretly play a big game.
But obviously, he thought too much.
I saw the corner of Cheng Guangzu's mouth twitching and said: "You idiot, what I mean is that Xu Xiyu is really powerful. We need to strike while the iron is hot and quickly let him get the project approved for cooperation with us. If we delay it any longer, everyone will have no schedule."< br>
The people he talks about are the old actors who are still supporting Hong Kong films.
Although Hong Kong films have declined, there are still some films produced every year.
And these movies are basically starring the same people. After all, you have to rely on these old buddies to decorate the appearance and boost the box office a little bit.
Therefore, actors like Blue Star Goo Jai Yang Yaoting have a really full schedule every year. If the team and project are established late, the completion of the film will be delayed until the Year of the Monkey.
Of course, you can also choose to shoot with mainland actors.
But the question is, if you look at the movie and see that it is all actors from the Mainland, is it still a Hong Kong movie?
Cheng Guangzu is different from the Queen's Wu Youjin.
Wu Youjin hopes to follow Xu Xiyu's lead and make a big hit with a small cost. It doesn't matter whether the film is Hong Kong or not, as long as he makes money.
And Cheng Guangzu really wants to extend the life of Hong Kong films.
But everyone in the office had other ideas.
I saw Liu Yongzhe looking at other people again.
Then he said: "Brother Zu, I'm not pouring cold water on you. The project you and Xu Xiyu are cooperating on is going to be a Hong Kong film. I heard it's a police film. This is really ridiculous."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person next to him echoed: "Yes, Brother Zu, yes, we all admit that Xu Xiyu is an excellent film creator, but the situation in the Mainland and Xiangjiang is completely different.
Apart from anything else, I heard someone say that he has never even been to Xiangjiang. Does he know (does he know) what is the difference between the police in Hong Kong and the police in the mainland? ”
"Yes, yes." Others heard the words and hurriedly echoed.
Seeing everyone disagreeing with each other, the veins on Cheng Guangzu's forehead began to beat.
He stretched out his hand to interrupt the noise of everyone, and angrily said: "Shut up (shut up), you know this, then you can make a movie with a box office of 4.77 billion."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yongzhe and others immediately shut up.
Not to mention making a movie with a box office of 4.77 billion. Among the movies he shot in the past five years, the highest box office is less than this.
But after just being silent for a short while, Liu Yongzhe said angrily: "Brother Zu, it makes no sense to say this. "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a good movie, but it is not a Hong Kong movie."
"OKOKOK, I don't want to argue with you. The only reason I called you here is that I am going to the capital to find Xu Xiyu. Last time I talked to him on the phone, he said that he had almost finished writing the script.
I estimate that I will be able to see the complete first draft this time. You guys are waiting here for news. If I get the script by then, I will call you over to study and improve it together, and strive to get the project started in Beijing this time. ”
"Then it will probably take a month or two to change." Liu Yongzhe heard this and continued.
And his words made other people in the office "poof~" and laugh out loud.
The meaning of "revising it for a month or two" couldn't be simpler. It means that what Xu Xiyu wrote is definitely not good. Rather than revising it, it is better to rewrite it.
Seeing everyone burst into laughter, Cheng Guangzu also put his hands on his hips and laughed.
He was laughed out of anger.
However, to be honest, subconsciously, he also had deep suspicions.
This was the real reason for his urgency. He was afraid that after waiting for a few months, Xu Xiyu would come up with something "nonsense", which would be a pure waste of time.
Thinking of this, he put his hands on his hips and smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't laugh. Xu Xiyu is a new upstart in mainland entertainment, so don't offend him."
"No, I will call him Mr. Xu politely when I see him." Liu Yongzhe stopped laughing and said.
Before Cheng Guangzu could reply, he asked again: "Hey, by the way, Brother Zu, did he say the name of the movie he is writing now?"
"It's called "Infernal Affairs"."
"What?"
"Infernal Affairs, are you blind?" Cheng Guangzu emphasized angrily.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yongzhe said happily: "Why not call it Queen's Avenue? Which road is Infernal Affairs? Is there usually a traffic jam?"
"Hahahahahaha." There was laughter again in the office.
Seeing them laughing again, Cheng Guangzu became more helpless.
With this helplessness, three hours later, he embarked on his journey to the capital.
Along with him were Liu Yongzhe and four other members of the imperial team.
Because when Xu Xiyu called to make an appointment, he said that the script had been written. In this case, there was no need to go in two batches.
