Chapter 801 Feng Linhuo, return to China next week
News about this year’s Golden Horse Awards is on the headlines of domestic entertainment websites.
Fan Debiao, the ruthless man from northern Liaoning back then, is still vivid in my mind, and now he is really coming into his own, having been nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor twice.
Teacher Fan Wei finally got through it.
Finally, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for "No Problem".
The excitement of the National Director’s Peak Competition continued from the middle of the month to the Golden Horse Awards at the end of the month.
Lao Mouzi was in Hunan, still tossing about matters at the Art Institute, and did not go to the award ceremony. The best director was awarded to Feng Xiaogang.
The local films from the Bay Area did not do well, and only got supporting roles. The best film was also unexpectedly won by the mainland film "August".
Zhou Yutang was busy filming "Joker", so naturally he didn't go to the Golden Horse Awards.
This time, Li Shuang personally led the team.
However, Jiangdong Entertainment is still very loud, with films such as "Big Buddha" and "Detective Chinatown" receiving a total of 13 nominations.
In the end, the awards for Best Costume Design, Best Action Design, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography were collected.
Jiang Qiming also won the Best New Actor, so he didn't come away empty-handed.
What is shocking is that Teacher Fan, who was previously the most popular candidate for Best Actress, unexpectedly lost to Little Yellow Duck and Ma Sixun from "July and Ansheng".
The two got the Golden Horse Best Actress Double Yolk Egg and burst into tears on the spot.
Before this awards ceremony, Hou Xiaoxian and Xu Anhua, chairman of this year's jury, expressed in public:
"Teacher Fan is welcomed by everyone and has great hope."
Even the media agreed that it had been decided, but the result was like this.
The Golden Horse Awards often involve risqué maneuvers.
A few years ago, Emperor Gong was treated badly, and now Teacher Fan, who had memorized his acceptance speech, was also very angry.
She only attended the award ceremony, not even the dinner, and flew straight to Shanghai that night.
Privately, I haven’t forgotten to talk to Zhou Yutang.
The next day I attended a jewelry exhibition in Shanghai, but it seemed like nothing happened.
Facing the media’s targeted questions, Teacher Fan smiled and showed off her top-notch appearance:
"This matter is over for me. Everything must be moved forward."
With a double international Category A movie queen in hand, Teacher Fan really does not need to rely on the Golden Horse Award to promote her status.
On the other hand, the little steel cannon who had been suppressed by Lao Mouzi was now very proud, and he posted more than a dozen Weibo posts that night.
Between the words, I felt the joy and joy of being rewarded for my great ambitions.
In his opinion, the current Golden Horse Awards are the most professional film awards in China and are on the right path.
"Has Director Feng been stimulated by something?"
"Understand, the box office is suppressed by the National Master, and he is almost exhausted."
"It was unprofessional for Xiaogangpao to attack the Golden Horse for Xu Fan, but now it has become one of the most professional awards in his mouth. This boomerang came too fast..."
"The Golden Horse Organizing Committee should be trying to find a balance, right?"
"In the past two years, Jiangdong has been too popular, and the media there have great opinions on the governor."
Netizens are watching the excitement, and the Bay Area media has indeed complained from time to time in the past two years.
Ever since Zhou Yutang became famous, Jiangdong Entertainment's films have won big wins at the Golden Horse Awards almost every year.
In the words of netizens, it was like the company team building in the past, and I received the award by the way.
But you still have to accept it.
Produced by Jiangdong, it must be a high-quality product.
Whether it is the quality of the movie or its box office performance, it is the best choice.
The golden reputation is there. It would be unfair not to award important awards. Public opinion will inevitably force it.
For this reason, the Golden Horse Organizing Committee has racked its brains to balance the awards and take into account the feelings of other people as much as possible.
Zhao Shuhai, a well-known senior in Bay Province, stood up and openly rebuked during the interview:
"The Golden Horse Awards should have more regional protection, so that Bay Province films can develop, and should not become someone's private territory..."
"Old guy, you really talk a lot."
On the crew side of "Joker", Lu Yang muttered: "I won't be able to reap the rewards without your son."
Zhao Laoden has a lot of complaints. To sum up, he is very dissatisfied with Jiangdong's acceptance of the Golden Horse Awards every year.
In fact, this also represents the opinions of a considerable number of conservatives in the Bay Area film and television industry.
After all, the cake is only so big.
If Zhou Yutang takes one more bite, some people will not be able to eat it.
More importantly, Governor Zhou rose to the occasion and won a gold medal for screenwriting.
The two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places are one.
The screenwriters in Bay Province are not fools. Who would have trouble with money?
As long as you win the bid, you will get millions in your account. With the title of "appointed by Governor Zhou", your worth will be a hundred times higher immediately, and you will have it all in this life.
Therefore, if screenwriters from the Bay Area have good scripts in their hands, their first choice will be to submit their scripts to the Jiangdong Screenwriter Gold Award, and then the rest will be given to the cunning Bay Area Film and Television Company.
If things continue like this, unless they are great directors like Li An, Hou Xiaoxian, or talented people who can write and direct, they will have projects to do, and other Bay Province directors will have to eat leftovers.
The man behind the scenes has caused the overall development of the Bay Province's film and television industry to gradually come to a standstill.
At this time, I was busy filming "Joker", so I didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Today's scene is a showdown between the acting duo of Robert De Niro and Joaquin Phoenix.
Robert De Niro has another project in hand, and the schedule is tight. He is scheduled to join the project at the end of the month.
Needless to mention his acting skills.
Being a talk show host is something you can do with ease.
A lighting consultant from the crew saw the scene layout and sincerely exclaimed:
"Wow, Mr. Director, I almost thought I was on the set of The Tonight Show."
He used to work on The Tonight Show.
All the equipment, all the lighting effects, even the scenery.
They all truly recreated the scenes from The Tonight Show.
Robert De Niro, who is wearing a suit and leather shoes and looks like an elite, also has a different look.
He has worked with many great directors, but he felt a familiar flavor in this Eastern miracle director.
That is the potential of successful people.
Only the ultimate pursuit of details can create a classic.
In the dressing room of host Maury Franklin, played by Robert De Niro.
Before Arthur takes the talk show stage, the camera focuses on Joaquin's frontal close-up.
"CUT."
Zhou Yutang called the person over: "Lawrence, try to shoot from above Joaquin's head."
"OK, let me try."
The director of photography adjusted in time and returned to the position again.
Instead, he shot a wider shot from above Joaquin Phoenix's head.
Arthur in the camera.
He leaned back in his chair, holding a cigarette in his mouth and putting his feet up on the table.
Unbridled and unruly.
……
""Big Buddha" has been in theaters for two weeks and has grossed 574 million at the box office. It has great stamina!"
""I'm Not Pan Jinlian" has a total box office revenue of 382 million in two weeks, showing its decline!"
The national director competition has been strangled all the way into December, until the Harry Potter IP derivative movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and Disney's "Moana" which grossed nearly 80 million on the first day were released.
Gradually enter the settlement stage.
With two weeks of release left, there is still some potential that can be tapped.
But for this type of reality-themed movie, the box office limit is ultimately something you can see at a glance.
However, it is better than the Oscar-winning director Li An who was kicked out first.
"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," which was aiming for awards, has stalled out after earning over 150 million, with its single-day box office drop to less than one million.
Another cannon fodder in the national server's top director competition, "Warrior's Gate", also has a great background.
The producer is Bay Capital Capital and Europa Film Company, the same French film company that once collaborated with Zhou Yutang on "Superbody".
Luc Besson himself serves as the screenwriter and Matthias Horn directs.
New Golden Horse actress Ma Si Chun, Dave Bautista, Wu Zhenyu, Sienna Guillory, Uriah Shelton, etc., carried the sedan chair for Zhao Youting.
In the name of a co-production, it finally became a stepping stone in the national director competition.
The total box office was only a little over 20 million, so it was hastily completed.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Youting is also the scumbag protagonist in "July and Ansheng".
Ma Sichun and Little Yellow Duck are obsessed with each other to death. The three people are entangled in their relationship, and they are constantly cutting and arguing.
"Mr. Zhou, where does this guy come from?"
After filming, Lu Yang asked curiously: "Some people have pushed him to appear in "Xiu Chun Knife 3" to me."
The two parts of the "Xiu Chun Knife" series have made an insane amount of money of 1.5 billion. They said they would slow down the pace of sequels, but there are still a lot of capital from the industry coming to the door.
"Provided by Bay Province Capital."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "I am Zhao Shuhai."
"It sounds a bit familiar... Is that the old Zhao who talked nonsense a few days ago?"
"It's him, he has some connections in Bay Province."
The old-timers of domestic entertainment are paving the way for their descendants.
The same is true in Bay Province.
Zhao Youting made his debut in "The Ruffian Hero" and directly defeated F4's Zhou Yuming and won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actor.
Later, it was packaged by Bay Province Capital to enter domestic entertainment, and it was fed with resources along the way.
While he was talking, Zhou Yutang received a call on WeChat and raised his eyebrows slightly,
"Sister Yuanyuan, why do you have time to call me?"
"Guess where I am now."
"..."
Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly: "You are not coming here, are you?"
"The answer is correct, I will reward you with a kiss later."
……
It's all Teacher Fan's fault.
I was photographed during a group visit, and made the domestic entertainment headlines when I returned home.
What she told the media was that she was having a brand event abroad and she stopped by to visit her good brother.
Da Meiyuan was very angry.
She wanted Fan to see who was the most gentle and considerate sister in the world. Da Meiyuan is different from Teacher Fan, she is a bit of a literary and youthful person.
It wasn't because Zhou Yutang just matched her favorite look.
She only liked it because it was Zhou Yutang.
After finishing the announcement in her hand, Da Meiyuan immediately flew to North America.
At the end of the day's shooting, when we returned to the hotel, we couldn't help but try Da Meiyuan's craftsmanship.
It is a custom in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to eat glutinous rice balls on New Year's Day.
Now that New Year's Day has not yet come, Zhou Yutang tasted the big and round glutinous rice balls in advance.
A little sweet.
We haven’t seen each other for a while. It’s normal to play ball in the evening.
Then they hugged each other tenderly and talked about the script all night long.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This is really not a night-glow script.
Da Meiyuan actually received a script, which is said to be the blockbuster "Feng Lin Huoshan" by Hong Kong's young director Mai Junlong.
"Kyoto Takeshi has not been filming for a long time, and he actually made a comeback... Leung Ka-fai, Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo... this cast can do it."
I had heard Huo Wenxi mention it before, but didn't pay much attention to it. After hearing Da Meiyuan mention it, Zhou Yutang became a little more interested and asked a few more questions:
"Sister Yuanyuan, has the contract been signed?"
"Already signed."
Gao Yuanyuan has acted in many plays by Hong Kong directors.
There is some friendship between them.
This year's "My Dangerous Wife" was a big hit, and a certain Hong Kong director took the initiative to come to visit.
Da Meiyuan couldn't refuse, so she accepted the project.
"What do you think?"
"Well, the idea is good and the scene is grand."
Zhou Yutang said something nice and coaxed Da Meiyuan a few words.
However, women's intuition is sharp after all. Da Meiyuan quickly noticed it, hugged his arm, and said in a tired voice:
"Aren't you optimistic?"
"It's not that I'm not optimistic about it. I can't tell anything just by reading the script."
I felt my arms sinking into the warm fragrant nephrite, and it felt wonderful. Zhou Yutang explained:
"If I were to run this project, I would have to evaluate all aspects in advance, including the script, shooting operability, and the possibility of cost recovery.
When the producer makes a complete plan, it will be finalized. The error tolerance rate will definitely be higher than that of a pure text script, and then the project will be filmed...
He just started doing it right away. It’s hard to say whether he can sustain such a big event. ”
Mai Junlong is a very talented second generation, there is no doubt about this.
From a singer to the film industry, Zhou Yutang also watched his debut movie "Zombie", which was really good.
After Uncle Nine left, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the best zombie film in Hong Kong.
But the scale of "Zombie" is completely different from that of a giant police movie like "Feng Lin Huo".
The entire story revolves around an explosion involving the largest drug trafficking group in Hong Kong.
The character design is a bit interesting.
The ultimate goal of the boss, the leader of the drug cartel, is to create a world without drugs.
It sounds a bit crazy.
The initial budget of the project is 150 million, and we are in discussions with Zhou Runfa and Liu Dehua.
Mai Junlong also specializes in flying neon lights, convincing the introverted otaku Takeshi Kyoto to come out and play the role of the villain boss.
There are so many big names, so investment in the project will naturally increase. Now the funding has reached 250 million, and even Xiaomi has followed suit.
Because Xiangjiang does not have the conditions for filming, Mak Junlong is also planning to recreate a 1:1 real-life Causeway Bay scene in the mainland.
The total area was more than 60,000 square feet, and it was all blown up.
Isn’t that bold?
The second generation sunglasses king belongs to yes.
Da Meiyuan listened carefully, frowning slightly, and said in a worried tone: "What should I do?"
"The remuneration you get is not from the investor."
Zhou Yutang's fingertips lightly traced Da Meiyuan's smooth and delicate back, and chuckled: "I hope that this game is really done for him... Why are you looking at me like this?"
< br>
"Your layout is really big...well..."
After having fun and having fun, Zhou Yutang is really looking forward to the final film that Mai Junlong will serve on the table.
After all, this is the most outstanding director of the young generation in Hong Kong, and such a luxurious cast lineup is concentrated in one movie.
If it is really on the level of "Zombie", it will be a good thing for the audience.
Da Meiyuan had just left with satisfaction. When Nazha, her sensible god-sister, saw the gossip about the sibling relationship, she also wanted to travel three thousand miles and land in North America for love.
"Isn't "The Story of Chosen Heaven" currently being filmed?"
"Brother, I'll take a leave from Director Li. I miss you."
Naza, who acts like a coquettish girl, is so sweet.
"Be obedient, I will visit you next month."
Zhou Yutang used his superb pancake painting technique to hold down Naza who was about to move.
Friends who often do multi-line operations know this.
When there are too many women, sometimes they are very happy, but they are also bound to have troubles.
First of all, you must have a solid body, but this hardware alone is not enough.
You need to be strong and able to cover it, and then you need to know how to provide emotional value.
What Zhou Yutang is currently doing, in addition to filming "Joker", also includes preparations for domestic projects such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Operation Red Sea".
This time, Chen Xi was not brought here, but was kept at home to remotely control the advancement of Jiangdong's key projects.
Including two films co-produced with Yinghuang.
Judging from the recent filming progress reported by Chen Xi, Fatty Wang is indeed a fast shooter, and "Chasing the Dragon" is about to be finished.
On the other hand, "Kowloon Walled City" had a lot of fighting scenes, and some actors were injured during it, so they had to wait for another month.
After listening to Chen Xi’s work report, Jiang Xuezhen came in again via video call,
"Mr. Zhou, "Jingjue Ancient City" will be broadcast soon. The goose factory has already made arrangements..."
""Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" on Mango is scheduled to be broadcast at the beginning of the new year..."
"The later stages of "Swordsman in the Snow" are progressing very smoothly, and the sequel will probably start shooting in May next year..."
"Start preparations now. The production will start in March at the latest. I have other arrangements in the middle of the year."
Zhou Yutang glanced at the email and asked: "How about "Undocumented Crime"?"
"Jiang Qiming has finished his road show. He just held a meeting today and will officially start filming the day after tomorrow."
"Well, you can figure it out. If you have any questions, please contact Sister Shuang to handle it."
"Understood."
Jiang Xueyuan nodded.
Mist Theater has become an instant hit since "The Signal", and this year's "My Dangerous Wife" is also a big hit.
Now that the third film "White Night" has been completed, "Undocumented Crime" has also begun to enter the filming stage.
The director is a mastermind appointed by Zhou Yutang.
This was his first time directing a film and television project, and he also sent an experienced assistant director from a film school to help.
The film and television adaptation of Zijin Chen's crime series is highly valued within Jiangdong.
"Undocumented Crime" is the first film and television adaptation of the series.
The following scripts such as "Long Night" and "Bad Boys" are in continuous development.
Today's Jiangdong Entertainment is like a huge machine that operates spontaneously.
As the helmsman, Zhou Yutang does not need to do everything himself.
Each of them is in a corresponding position and can drive the entire machine to operate.
All he has to do is to adjust the general direction of the aircraft carrier, and there will naturally be someone to take care of the specific projects.
Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, it’s already late December.
After the release of Shuai Bi Azu's "Fire in the Sky" and the theatrical version of "Detective Conan", the box office was not very satisfactory.
On the contrary, "Your Name" was released at the beginning of the month and became a blockbuster. The film's box office exceeded 3.8 billion yen within ten days of its release on Neon.
After two weeks of release in China, the cumulative box office has reached 522 million, directly setting a new box office record for Japanese movies in the mainland!
It defeated Er Dongsheng's "The Sword of the Third Young Master" from the same period.
Even Zhang Mo's "28 Years Old" was also affected, with only 72.79 million in its first week.
This result is a good start for a new director.
But as the daughter of Lao Mouzi, the audience obviously has higher requirements for her, and the film's reputation is severely polarized.
There are not many scenes left in "Joker". During this period, Zhou Yutang took time to attend two public relations receptions for "La La Land".
On this day, Ni Ni discovered that after he received a piece of news, the Governor, who had always kept his emotions secret, showed a rare emotion.
He called Ni Ni to explain how to arrange a private jet, then handed the crew over to Bob, and temporarily announced that the crew would have a day off.
"Sister Ni."
Chen Duling felt a little abnormal and asked in a low voice: "What happened? Didn't you say that you won't return to China until next week?"
For such a workaholic as my boss, Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan even asked them to sit aside and wait when they arrived.
Will you even give yourself a holiday?
This is unscientific.
She didn't notice that Ni Ni's expression was a little unnatural and his tone was a little stiff:
"I don't know."
"Could it be the first sister and the immortal, something happened?"
Chen Duling said something more, and Ni Ni immediately glared at her:
"Dudu, don't ask more about things you shouldn't ask."
"Oh."
"The year-end summary ppt will be prepared and handed over to me in the next two days."
"Sister Ni..."
"There is also a complete plan for next year's movie project planning, a summary of Xingchen Game, and the annual report of Yu Sheng... all done together..."
"?"
Chen Duling tilted his head and opened his mouth slightly.
In the big clear eyes, there is a big question mark.
