Chapter 25 Golden Horse (previous chapter blocked)
The movie is about to be finished, but Guan Ling has to go to Taiwan first. The Golden Horse Awards are about to be awarded, and an invitation letter was sent to Guan Ling.
The Golden Horse Awards are currently one of the highest film awards broadcast live on CCTV in China, and are even prestigious in Asia.
Although the film was shortlisted, the only nominees were Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor played by Guan Ling and Best Editing. Guan Ling asked other people in the crew of The Uninvited Guest, and finally Fan Wei , Zhang Songwen decided to come, and the list was made up of the two of them plus Guan Ling and Zhu Yawen, all old men.
The shortlisted crew can walk on the red carpet. This is a good opportunity for publicity. It is also a place where many celebrities check their faces to find their next job.
In my previous life, when I went to film festivals, there would always be big news about star creation, such as stepping on a skirt and throwing it, which would suddenly increase the exposure.
In fact, Guan Ling knows in his heart that the only award he can compete for this year is the best editing. This year’s Golden Horse is the world of "Kung Fu". "Kung Fu" has won several awards. Uninvited guests There is little to fight for.
The reason why I came here is for the promotion of "The Devotion of Suspect X".
Next year, we will have strong rivals with Guan Ling. In late October this year, "Underworld" was released in the Mainland. Although the box office was only less than 5 million, that is not the true strength of this movie.
In order to be released, the mainland and Hong Kong films are not the same movie at all.
This is a film known as the "Godfather of Chinese Films". If "The Devotion of Suspect X" wants to gain success next year, it must rely on publicity, box office, word-of-mouth, and the operation of China Film to have a chance to compete. .
Uninvited Guest did not register for the Golden Rooster Awards, not because he did not want to, but because he could not. This year’s Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony is only one day apart from the Golden Horse Awards, but the registration range for movies is very strict. "Uninvited Guest" was stuck outside.
China Film is also aware of the situation and has not made any large-scale extravagant publicity. A milestone film with a small and medium budget has already put its mark on the film.
Keelung Cultural Center.
"Director Guan, here."
Producer Han Zheng greeted Guan Ling, but Mr. Han did not come. Han Zheng came over to talk about cooperation and look for the next project invested by China Film.
A few people met and the award ceremony was scheduled for November 13th.
While walking around the film festival, Guan Ling saw Chen Kun. He was nominated for Best Actor for "Matcha Love", but this year the award almost failed because Guo Fucheng was also there.
"Director Guan." Chen Kun greeted enthusiastically, "I have never been able to meet you. This is a milestone. This title will accompany Director Guan in the future and will also stand as a monument to our Nortel. Got it."
"Senior brother, don't make fun of me, it's just good luck." Guan Ling waved.
"Don't be modest. Recently, it has been spread in circles that Mr. Xu claimed in an interview that he was photographed on the beach." Chen Kun leaned over and said softly.
Guan Ling really didn't hear this joke, but he smiled knowingly when he heard it. He went for "Seven Swords", but he didn't target Old Monster Xu.
A few people were walking side by side and saw Shu Qi. She was wearing a black dress and was very majestic. She was nominated for Best Actress. It is said that she had a large-scale kiss scene with Zhang Zhen in the movie. For more than ten minutes, Guan Ling didn't believe that they couldn't create sparks from their kiss.
Jay Chou and Patty Hou are together. They are in a hot relationship this year, and the latter is also the host of this year's Golden Horse Awards.
I was very embarrassed when I was waiting to go back to the hotel. Old Monster Xu walked towards me. "Seven Swords" was shortlisted for Best Art Design, Best Action Design and Best Photography. It shows how raw the plot is.
Guan Ling took the initiative to shake hands.
"Director Xu. I hope that "Seven Swords" will achieve something."
Old monster Xu also grabbed Guan Ling's hand and smiled bitterly, "Director Guan, this movie can beat me. Wake up. Theaters want blockbusters to attract audiences into theaters, but after the audience enters the theater, the choice is not just about the quality of the production."
After the awards ceremony began, "Kung Fu" did its part. Everyone could only applaud.
Actually, Guan Ling has questions about the shortlist. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but as a new actor, he was not nominated for Best New Actor, which is a bit confusing.
But considering that Initial D is a film released in Taiwan, you can actually understand with a high probability that if Ma Mingliang and Fujiwara Takumi were to compare their acting skills, the former would probably win.
What is lost is what is gained. When the award for Best Supporting Actor was presented, Patty Hou called out Guan Ling's name. Guan Ling didn't react for a moment. He didn't wake up until the camera pointed at him. "Guanzi, Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor!" Zhu Yawen was even more excited than Guan Ling.
Going on stage and holding the trophy, Guan Ling looked down at all the famous people in the entertainment industry. He didn’t know why he won the Best Supporting Actor. He defeated Yuan Hua in "Kung Fu" and Anthony Wong in "Initial D".
"Director Guan directed and acted in his first film, and won the Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop. Is there anything you would like to say to everyone?" Patty Hou's voice is a typical Taiwanese accent.
"Is this an acceptance speech?" Guan Ling asked.
“That’s okay,” the other party responded.
Guan Ling thought for a while, held up the trophy and said: "This seems to be a beginning, but I know that this is not just a beginning. I will come here again next year, but what I am aiming for is This is no longer an award. My new movie will be finished soon. I will release it simultaneously in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong next year. Please pay attention to it then... I hope I will communicate with these distributors later. If you don't know me, please keep me out." Guan Ling also told a joke.
China Film, Mr. Han is watching the live broadcast, watching Guan Ling having fun on the stage, thinking about this slut. This matter was completely resolved directly through China Film.
The people below applauded loudly, the camera swept over, many people were smiling, young people were angry, the Golden Horse Awards had declared war, this was breaking news.
When it comes to the best original screenplay, the award guest is A Jiao from Twins. This has already predicted that her shortlisted movie "Princess Revenge" has been eliminated.
Guan Ling did not get this award, and it was given to "Dragon City Years".
As expected, the Best Editing still belongs to the crew of "Uninvited Guests". Zhang Songwen went on stage to accept the award on behalf of Guan Ling and thanked Guan Ling for being able to write such a good script and at the same time Using superb editing technology, a commercial miracle was achieved with a small cost and milestone. All in all, I would like to express my gratitude to Guan Ling. He took the stage on behalf of the crew, and he also knew that there was another meaning to his being on stage, that is, if the people present had a script, he would be an option.
After the award ceremony, Guan Ling didn’t wait to find the publisher in Hong Kong.
A producer from Emperor Film came over, her name was Liang Lin, a business lady with short, slightly curly hair and a dashing appearance.
"Director Guan, nice to meet you." The other party extended his hand.
"The Emperor is very interested in your new movie and hopes to discuss the distribution rights."
Of course Guan Ling was willing and took Han Zheng to drink tea with the Emperor. .
When talking about Liu Tianwang, the other party claimed that Liu Tianwang took a break after winning the Hong Kong Film Awards this year, and also talked about the "Asian Emerging Director Project".
“Wazai has always wanted to get to know Director Guan. He said that the production of your low-cost black comedy film gave him a lot of confidence. Now he is looking forward to the low-cost film he invested in in the Mainland. What kind of achievements can be achieved?”
Guan Ling knew that she was talking about "Crazy Stone", but he was a little embarrassed to say it. He was originally the milestone in the small-budget film, but Guan Ling cut him off.
After a while, Ajiao also came over.
"Sister Liang," she said hello to Liang Lin and then looked at Guan Ling, "Director Guan, if you need my play, please contact me."
Guan Ling was perfunctory. If he remembered correctly, Ajiao and Edison Chen had broken up at this time, and her beautiful photos were on her hard drive. With such a bombshell, Guan Ling went crazy to choose her to play his part.
Ah Sa is more beautiful, but unfortunately she didn’t come.
Guan Ling did not know that at this time, the domestic media had already begun to publicize his award.
“Nortel’s current director won the Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Editing.”
“Excellent! A low-budget milestone director has made a new film and said he is aiming for the Golden Horse Awards. Best Picture!"
Guan Ling will definitely laugh when he sees it. Where did he say Best Picture?
If he could, he wanted it all.
