Because of Ho Daren's unexpected win, when it was later announced that Wang Zhong was the best director and "Three Mountains" was the best film, many people at the scene were immersed in the shock brought by the former.
In comparison, Wang Zhonghe's winning of the award for "Three Mountains" was completely expected.
The hit film "Late Spring" ended up being silent. The best screenplay award was taken away by "White Pearl" and the best cinematography award was taken away by another film.
It can be said that "Three Mountains" is the biggest winner tonight.
Although Lu Yanhe was also shocked by the result of Best Actor, he still chose to comfort his frustrated friend at this time.
"It has been a long time since you made a movie for the first time and you have been able to get so many nominations. You see, Director Wang has been filming for a long time. This is the first time he won the Best Director at the Phenom Awards." Lu Yanhe said, "You must have lost because you were too young."
Liu Bige squinted at the trophy in Lu Yanhe's hand.
“The youngest winner of Best Supporting Actor in history, told me that I lost because I was too young.” Liu Bige looked at Lu Yanhe, “I don’t know how to comfort me. "
Lu Yanhe said with a smile: "The best director is still different."
They talked and laughed, and Miao Yue, who was sitting behind, came over.
Nominated for the Best Screenplay Award, Miao Yue, as one of the screenwriters, also attended the award ceremony tonight. Unfortunately, she did not win the award in the end.
Liu Bige was a little helpless and said: "I thought that at least we would be given a best screenplay award."
Indeed, the script of "Late Spring" is not controversial. Good.
"White Pearl", a film with mixed reviews and critical acclaim, won the best screenplay - it can only be said that it may really appeal to this year's judges.
Miao Yue smiled and said, "I didn't win the prize, so let's try harder next time."
Liu Bige asked Lu Yanhe: "How about you just go back later?"
Lu Yanhe said: "Are you planning to do other activities?"
"Is there any prize for this one? "Come on, it's too uncomfortable to go back now. Let's go find a place to drink." Liu Bige said, "Will you go?"
Tomorrow is Saturday and there are no classes. Lu Yanhe nodded and asked, "Where are Kong Fan and the others?"
Liu Bige said, "They will come over later and they all have other arrangements."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Liu Bige asked curiously: "You won the award, don't you need to celebrate with the crew of "Three Mountains"?"
Lu Yanhe said: "We have celebrated several times, and today we also I didn’t hear that we should continue to celebrate. Director Wang is probably tired.”
However, "Three Mountains" is the biggest winner tonight, winning both Best Picture and Best Director. This honor is indeed worthy. Celebrate.
While he was talking, director Wang Zhong’s long-term producer Chen Ling came over.
He planned to get together later.
Lu Yanhe said: "I have already agreed to go drinking with Bigo and the others."
Chen Ling said with a smile: "Director Bigo, come with us, you "Late Spring" "Everyone from the crew is coming together."
Lu Yanhe looked at Liu Bige.
Liu Bige nodded obediently and said yes.
-
Lu Yanhe also called Li Bi and Helan to come together.
However, I have been specially warned not to take any more photos or videos. This is not a public occasion and it is important to keep it private.
Li Bi knows numbers very well and nodded.
When Lu Yanhe occasionally has such an opportunity, he will bring people from "Jump Up" with him to give them the opportunity to meet various people.
In many cases, you really need to know people yourself in order to be effective at critical moments.
Lu Yanhe doesn’t want the people in “Jump Up” to have titles that are louder than their names – this is difficult, but we can’t settle for the status quo just because it’s difficult.
Li Bi is already familiar with the business, but this is the first time for Helan to attend such a gathering with many celebrities.
Helan was inevitably nervous.
However, when she discovered that all the glamorous people before had taken off their makeup and put on casual clothes, they were not as "precious" as they were at the award ceremony before, and they had an approachable aura. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yanhe is very familiar with the two crews of "Three Mountains" and "Late Spring".
Mainly because he is familiar with the two directors, Lu Yanhe has no social burden at all.
After he introduced Li Bi and Helan to everyone, he ignored them and took Liu Bige to drink and chat in the corner.
Miao Yue instead chatted with Director Wang Zhong and others about a recently released movie.
Liu Bige asked: "After you finish filming "Path of Glory", will you really act in that fantasy film called "Fire"?"
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I have this plan. Sister Ziyan told me that I have done too many serious art films in the past and have never made a commercial blockbuster. Over time, the industry will form a stereotype about me. I don't want everyone to misunderstand me. I just want to act in literary films "
Liu Bige: "It's definitely okay for you to act in a commercial film, but I have another movie to shoot next year, and I originally wanted to find you."
"Huh? Is it the one you told me about in Venice? ?”
“That’s not it. The script is still being revised. Yueyue has new ideas for the script,” Liu Bige said, “It’s a script sent by Longyan Pictures. They want me to come. Actually, they supported me in filming " "Late Spring", I promised to help them make a more commercial movie after filming "Late Spring"."
"I haven't decided on the schedule for next year. You can decide when to start filming your movie. ”
"I guess it will start in March or April next year." Liu Bige shook his head, "Are you also busy with classes in March and April next year?"
"I have almost completed my required courses this semester. , there won’t be many classes next semester. If the film can be filmed in Yuming, then I’ll be fine. If it’s not filmed in Yuming , that’s disgusting.” Lu Yanhe said, “What kind of role do you want me to shoot?”
“A psychotic rich second generation decided to fake his death in order to get rid of a girl who was even more neurotic than him and chased him. It’s a comedy where a lot of troubles happen,” Liu Bige said, “I really like this setting. I definitely found it interesting and lively. As you can tell by watching "Late Spring", I like the kind of drama with a lot of people. Various characters take turns to appear here, which is very wonderful. Moreover, although the script is very vulgar, But it’s not vulgar, it has the kind of bloody feeling like listening to gossip.”
Lu Yanhe heard this and said: "Then you can ask Li Zhibai to play this role. As soon as you told me, I felt that he is suitable for this role, more suitable than me. He will definitely be able to play the role of the mentally ill rich second generation."
< br>Liu Bige was a little surprised, "Really? How is his acting skills?"
"Have you not seen his acting?"
"Occasionally I have seen some clips." Liu Bige said, "However, movie acting is still different from that. In fact, someone also recommended it to me Li Zhibai played this role and brought me a clip of his performance in an idol drama, which is also a similar character. I thought his performance was too simple and not neurotic enough.”
Lu Yanhe said: "That's definitely because of TV The play doesn't allow him to act too neurotic. You want the male protagonist to have a bit of evil neurosis, right? And underneath this appearance, he must still be a kind person."
"Yes."
"That's Li Zhibai, I guarantee you with my credibility." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "You meet him and let him try out the show, and you will know Why did I say that?”
"I'm not doubting you, okay, then I'll contact him later." Liu Bige nodded, "come and play a guest role for me when you have time."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded readily and agreed. .
Liu Bige suddenly remembered something and said: "Are you going to have basically no classes in the second half of next year?"
"Yes, I am about to start writing my graduation thesis. I have already I contacted the teacher and started choosing the topic." Lu Yanhe said, "Get ready to start writing in advance."
"It's best this way. You have to give me a schedule for the new play that Yueyue and I are writing. Tailor-made for you”
"Well, you set the shooting time and tell me and Sister Ziyan in advance." Lu Yanhe said, "I will leave it for you."
At this time, Sui Fangran and others came over.
I came specifically to say hello to Liu Bige.
Lu Yanhe immediately acted as an introducer.
Liu Bige was also very friendly and enthusiastic towards Sui Fangran and others, saying: "I am deeply impressed by the three of you. You performed really well in "Three Mountains"." They hurriedly said thank you.
Lu Yanhe picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's talk first. I'll go find Director Wang."
He turned around and saw that Li Bi didn't act like he usually did on this occasion. He was just as good at dancing as ever, but he was looking at his phone with a frown on his face.
Lu Yanhe walked over and asked: "What's going on? What happened?"
Li Bi immediately said: "Because the Best Actor was so unpopular, the Internet is now noisy. Turned over.”
Lu Yanhe doesn't find it strange at all that there is such a commotion on the Internet.
The moment this result came out, everyone probably expected what would happen next.
Lu Yanhe said: "Is there any new news coming out?"
Li Bi said: "Chen Pinhe's agent accepted an interview with a media and said that this time He Daren won the award, so that The Feihong Award seems very unprofessional, and it means that no matter how good the performance is, it is not as good as having an old classmate who is the chairman of the jury."
Lu Yanhe frowned in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"Someone exposed on the Internet that He Daren and Xi Wei'an, the chairman of this year's Phenom Award jury, are college classmates." Li Bi said, "This matter should be true. A group photo of them in college has been exposed."
Lu Yanhe opened his mouth in surprise, "Really Is it because of this that the Best Actor was so unpopular tonight?"
Lu Yanhe thought it was because the movie "Nine Songs of the Galaxy" had too little box office and not many people had seen it, including him. Inside, I missed an amazing performance.
He really has never thought about the dark side.
In this industry, Lu Yanhe knows that many dramas and many actors actually have the quality to win awards, best actors and actresses, but they are not seen just because they are not famous.
Like the three domestic awards, especially the three film awards, there will be some upsets from time to time, pushing some unknown people into the spotlight.
The upset is huge, but often no one will question that these winners are not strong enough.
Lu Yanhe has not heard of a "nepotism" scandal like this one for a long time.
Li Bi took a deep breath, "I really want to seize this hot spot. Now the entire Internet has exploded in discussion about this matter, especially fans of you and several other nominees have gathered. Get up and ask for an explanation from the Phenom Awards, making a big fuss.”
Lu Yanhe: “Has the Phenom Awards responded?”
"No." Li Bi shook his head, "The incident happened suddenly. I guess the organizer of the Phenom Awards is still investigating the situation."
This incident is indeed a big deal.
When Lu Yanhe came to Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong was answering the phone.
Wang Zhong motioned him to wait a moment with his eyes.
Lu Yanhe made a "you speak slowly" gesture and waited aside.
Wang Zhong didn't seem to want Lu Yanhe to avoid the call, so Lu Yanhe heard the names "He Daren", "Phenom Award" and "Xi Weian".
After hearing about the situation from Li Bi, Lu Yanhe guessed what the phone call Wang Zhong was talking about was probably about.
I don’t know who called Wang Zhong to talk about this matter.
Lu Yanhe waited for Wang Zhong to finish the call.
Wang Zhong asked: "Have you heard that He Daren and Xi Weian were college classmates? I heard that the Internet has completely fermented and everyone is discussing this matter."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said: "Well, yes, I heard about it just now, so is it true?"
"It is true that we were classmates in college, but it is not because of this relationship that we are in the best man." There is an unexpected result in the protagonist's award. We don't know yet and are investigating," Wang Zhong said.
“There are so many people on the jury, and it’s not Xi Weian who has the final say. However, this result is indeed surprising, which is why it has caused such a big controversy.”
"If it turns out that the results of the Best Actor selection this time were seriously affected by Xi Weian, then the scandal will be huge. As far as I know, each Phenom Award award is generally voted for by the members of the jury. Yes, the chairman of the jury usually coordinates all the judges when there is serious disagreement. Of course, his opinion is also very important. In fact, he still needs to sign every result.”
Wang Zhong suddenly smiled, looked at Lu Yanhe, and said, "If this matter gets bigger and bigger later, I guess you won't be able to stay out of it. There will definitely be many people who want you to express your opinion."
"You want me to express my opinion?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and said, "What do I have to express my opinion on? I am just a companion and it has nothing to do with me."
"You say that, but others don't think so. Ah." Wang Zhong laughed, but couldn't help but scratch his head, "Oh, I will be asked to be the chairman of the jury for the Phenom Awards next year. This is going to be a hot potato."
Lu Yanhe looked at Wang Zhong with some surprise, "Will you be the chairman of the jury next year?"
"Yes." Wang Zhong nodded, "So, perform "Road to Glory" well, Try to win the Best Actor Award next year."
"I'm so embarrassed." Although Lu Yanhe said this, his eyes were bright, as if he was looking forward to it.
If Wang Zhong were the chairman of the jury, if nothing else, the prejudice about his age would definitely be minimized.
"But, I am not the leading actor in "Path of Glory"." Lu Yanhe said, "I can't win it."
"Then let's win the Best Supporting Actor Lian Zhuang." Wang Zhong said with a joking smile, "However, if you are compared to others, I can't help you. This scandal of nepotism, I don’t want this to happen to me one day.”
“I know.” Lu Yanhe smiled, “If that’s the case, what about “Rouge Button”? The best heroine, right?”
Wang Zhong fell into deep thought and said, “This is really a problem.”
After two seconds, "It's not a big problem. "Rouge Button" may not be released next year."
Lu Yanhe was stunned, "Huh?"
Wang Zhong said: "I cut it Movies are not that fast, and there is really no need to rush to release it next year. I think it will be more interesting to release it in the winter."
Wang Zhong said this, Lu Yanhe said. There was a picture in my mind immediately.
The overwhelming tones of white, black, and gray in winter are bleak and deserted.
A century seems to be ending here.
Think about it, after watching "Rouge" in the cinema, coming out and walking into the vast night, that kind of atmosphere -
Lu Yanhe said to Wang Zhong: "You are right , this movie should be released in winter."
"I'm worried, our domestic winter is not suitable for this kind of movie. It’s not a good time. It’s basically occupied by the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival schedules, and there’s almost no room for feature films like “Rouge Button” to survive,” Wang Zhong said, “I really don’t know if it will be released in the winter.”
The production cost of "Rouge Button" is not low. If you are aiming for a box office of at least 100 million, you must not be willful.
-
After the Phenom Awards, the list of winners attracted much attention. Of course, 90% of the attention and heat was taken away by the result of Best Actor.
Lu Yanhe's Best Supporting Actor, even if it broke the Phenom Award record, was only publicized by his fans and did not cause much sensation.
The next day, Xi Weian stood up and responded to the so-called "old classmates taking care of old classmates".
“If you know how our jury decides on each award, you will know that the result of an award is not something I can control. We have a total of nine judges. After everyone deliberates, they vote individually. The one with the highest score will win this award," Xi Wei'an emphasized, "Even if I am the chairman of the jury, I only have one vote and only affect one-ninth of the result."
Some people buy into Xi Wei'an's explanation, while others refuse to.
As for this kind of thing, basically as long as it happens, there will not be a perfect result.
But, at least it was a response.
According to Lu Yanhe's understanding of this matter and the direction of this kind of thing, even if some people don't understand, it is estimated that this matter will end here.
No matter what, this award has been awarded to He Daren and it is impossible to take it back.
Even if there are some problems during the review process, these problems will definitely be sealed in a small area and will not be made public.
However, under this situation, someone suddenly broke the news about the details of the Best Actor jury voting.
Details once again caused an uproar. (End of this chapter)
