Chapter 274 Li Xuejian won the award
The 2007 Golden Horse Awards was the 44th and was at its peak.
Not only are there many celebrities participating, but there are also many sponsors.
This led to the relatively wealthy organizers renting venues directly at the Little Arena.
At six o'clock, it was just getting dark, and the avenue in front of the door was covered with a red carpet early.
A star-shaped golden hollow arch was built at the front of the red carpet.
There are iron fences on both sides and billboards sponsored by merchants as barriers.
Countless fans are already on both sides, ready to welcome their idols.
The young celebrities in front of them have nothing to say, and basically no one pays attention to them, mainly just to get a chance to be on the red carpet.
Even though it is a domestic award like the Golden Horse Award, there are also carpet stars.
As time went by, some relatively well-known celebrities entered the scene, such as Big S and Yang Caini, and they started to gain some popularity.
And then a baseball star, Li Zhunji, actually caused a real sensation for the first time. The screams of the surrounding fans were even heard by Chen Linfeng, who was waiting far away.
Everyone seemed to take it for granted. The stick flow was not called "Bangliu" for nothing in recent years.
The impact on Bay Island is much greater than that on the mainland. Many young girls are much more crazy about Chinese stars than local stars.
There was a veteran reporter on the side who could not understand this and sighed, "Hey, our cultural industry in Bay Island is really getting worse and worse."
The assistant is very open-minded, "The market is like this, there's nothing you can do if you can't compare. The standards of Bangkok, Neon, and even Hollywood are too high. If you ask me to see our own celebrities who are not fashionable, I won't do it." Ah."
The veteran reporter glanced at the assistant sideways and said nothing. These young people made him even more dissatisfied when they talked about it, and each one of them lost his temper.
After that, several rounds of celebrities passed by, and a new car parked at the beginning of the red carpet.
The male star in the car got off first, wearing a black suit, and helped the female star out of the car. The female star was wearing a cyan dress and was as beautiful as a fairy.
Time seemed to stop for a moment, and then huge shouts and screams sounded.
"Ah ah ah, Professor Chen, my Professor Chen."
"Help, An Qian, she is wearing the same style as in the TV series. It is An Qian herself who is here!"
"Professor Chen , look here!”
For a moment, the crowds on both sides surged forward unconsciously, forcing the security guards in front to stop them with all their strength, and at the same time shouted loudly to stop these crazy crowds. Calm down.
As you can imagine, it is of no use at all.
Fortunately, the iron fence is still useful. At least it blocks the flow of people and has not been broken through.
Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian waved as they walked and did not linger on the red carpet.
This is a habit of the two of them. Walk faster to avoid causing commotion.
The veteran reporter looked at the movement, which was much larger than before.
His expression seemed a little relieved, "This looks like something, Li Zhunji still can't do it."
The young assistant retorted, "These are not people from our Bay Island."
"As long as they are Chinese."
The assistant reflexively wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, This was An Qian, so she could accept it, so she shut up rather dissatisfied.
After entering the infield, Liu Qianqian looked around and said in surprise, "There are still so many spectators sitting around them."
"Yes, it is a commercial operation, selling tickets and sponsoring. Maybe you can still make money.”
The center of the entire Little Arena is the star's seat, and the surrounding areas are seats for the audience. The entire venue is a huge show.
With various marketing releases and award predictions in the early stage, various media interviews and photo shoots in the middle, plus the full live broadcast, the degree of exposure can be imagined.
This highly commercialized award ceremony is a bit like the Oscars.
At this point, there is still room for improvement in several awards in the Mainland.
Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian followed the staff's instructions and sat relatively close to the front, roughly close to the rest of the crew.
Zhou Jielun was not with them. His previous film "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable" also participated in this year's Golden Horse Awards and was successfully shortlisted.
People form a group of their own.
After Chen Linfeng sat down, he found that Li An was not far away.
He raised his hand to signal, "Director Li, we meet again. I wish you a good harvest tonight."
Li An has always been easy to talk to and greeted him with a smile, "It's hard to say, you This person who won the Golden Lion Award is here, how can I have a place?”
"Director Li is being humble. Venice is a thing of the past."
The two exchanged greetings and then began to deal with other people's greetings.
As directors, Chen Linfeng and Li An are quite similar in some behavioral styles.
When promoting your works, you can use various methods for marketing, which will always attract attention.
At the end of this stage, it often returns to a low profile.
This makes it a little difficult for actors in the industry to get to know them.
So every time during the awards ceremony, there will always be a lot of celebrities coming forward to get close to each other.
The Golden Horse Awards ceremony has more celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan, unlike some actors from the Mainland who can have a common topic by talking about a few relationships.
Most of the celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan can only come up to get acquainted with each other, and there is nothing to say later.
Especially because most of these people have different accents, and Chen Linfeng doesn’t want to accommodate them. Switching languages would make it even harder to chat together.
However, there are a few who can say a few more words, such as Liang Jiahui, who was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor this year and is a competitor with Li Xuejian.
Chen Linfeng quite admires him.
The other one is Andy Lau. Chen Linfeng and he have met several times at other events, and they even teased each other about holding Xiaolong in his arms when he was a child.
"Brother Hua, you're rare. I didn't see you the last time I went to Hong Kong Island."
"Yes, I want to promote it. "The Letter of Contestation", directed by Xiao Chen ”
"I saw it. It's not bad, although the film still doesn't look like a historical film." Chen Linfeng praised it with a hint of ridicule.
"Haha, I'm satisfied with your compliment." Chen Linfeng suggested on a whim, "I'm going to start filming a TV series early next year. Can I ask Brother Hua to make a guest appearance?"
Liu Dehua said without any hesitation, "Okay, when is the specific time, just say hello."
"Okay, let's talk later."
Chen Linfeng sat in his seat and waited patiently for the show to begin.
After a while, the big screen in front began to play clips and silhouettes of past award-winning films, as well as this year's shortlisted films.
Chen Linfeng clearly saw the scene of himself playing drums and Yu Nan's herder dress.
Speaking of this, I have to mention some of the mainland films shortlisted for this Golden Horse Awards.
Originally, the two films "Tuya's Marriage" and "Blind Mountain", including "The Burst", were not eligible to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.
Because the film bureau seems to have internal regulations that films purely invested by the mainland are not allowed to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.
Last year, Tian Dazhuang's film "Wu Qingyuan" was ultimately unable to participate in the award competition for this reason and was temporarily withdrawn.
But what can I say about this kind of thing? The rules can be changed.
Especially as 2008 approaches and there are big changes in the Bay and Islands, it is more important for both sides of the Taiwan Strait to be one family.
The film bureau should also consider the emotional issues of our compatriots.
So this year, mainland-owned enterprises can also participate in exhibitions and award awards.
Chen Linfeng is more supportive of changing the rules. This kind of rules is completely based on his own imagination.
Wholly owned by the mainland cannot judge awards. What a harm to the young minds of mainland capital.
In the future, with so many Hong Kong and Taiwan capitals involved in mainland films, the emergence of the phenomenon of "banquet in heaven" cannot be said to be without such regulatory factors.
After all, as long as the mainland wants to participate in the exhibition, it cannot be a sole proprietor. Once capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan joins, the right to speak will be divided, and actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan will inevitably join.
At least Chen Linfeng doesn't want others to meddle in his projects at will. Unlike China Film and Guangxian in the mainland, they either have theaters or can distribute and have their own media.
Even if some companies on Hong Kong Island have distribution channels in Southeast Asia, it will be fine.
For those who simply come in to share the cake without contributing anything, it is better to go as far as possible.
In fact, from this perspective, Chen Linfeng’s own studio currently has no good advantages.
So he is more cautious when it comes to investing in movies.
Because if someone lets you in to eat meat, they will inevitably have to share your meat with you in the future.
Chen Linfeng is not very optimistic about many current domestic projects.
The reason for "Painted Skin" is to support Xiao Long, and the person responsible for docking and investment is Longlin Company, and the resource replacement is also with TV drama resources.
In the future, Chen Linfeng’s Qilin Studio and Long Lin Club will be relatively separate. One is responsible for movies, and the other focuses on the field of TV series.
No intervention.
Without further ado, the awards ceremony officially began.
Compared with the hosts of domestic award ceremonies, the host on stage is a little less solemn and grand, but he is more open-minded when it comes to joking.
At this point, it still gave him a sense of freshness.
The first award presented was the Best Supporting Actress, which was won by Fan Binbin for "The Ghost in My Heart".
In some ways, the Golden Horse Awards have been able to maintain the top spot in Chinese-language films over the past few years, especially in the next ten years.
Although there is local protection, in terms of fairness, if there is a little bit of face-saving, at least it will be much better than something as unmotivated as the Academy Awards.
As for the Golden Rooster Award, the bad thing is the experts.
Not to mention the inside story, no award-winning organization is indispensable.
The key point is that they don’t even have basic professionalism. They often give awards to many people and demote themselves.
Forget it, thinking about this kind of thing too much will inevitably make you panic. Chen Linfeng continued to watch the award announcement on the stand.
The process of the Golden Horse Awards is to mix some local awards, such as the Bay Island Outstanding Filmmaker of the Year category, with some less important professional awards (styling design, action design, etc.).
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Jielun's movie "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable" won the Outstanding Film of the Year in Bay Island.
Some of the technical awards for which "Explosion Drummer" was shortlisted, such as photography, editing, etc., were only nominated and did not win.
Chen Linfeng waited calmly, not paying much attention to it.
Others in the crew were somewhat disappointed.
After about half an hour in total, it was the turn for the Best Supporting Actor award to be presented.
Chen Linfeng's expression condensed. This was the award he hoped to get.
Teacher Li Xuejian’s performance is worthy of this award.
Winning the Golden Lion Award is largely due to the devil teacher, which greatly increased the persuasiveness of the film.
The audience will not misunderstand and think that this is a movie that has a positive attitude towards extreme teaching methods.
Moreover, before coming, Li Xuejian was indeed the favorite according to various media predictions.
In addition to Li Xuejian, other actors participating in the competition are Wu Jing, Louis Koo and Liang Jiahui.
The guest in charge of awarding the awards did not bother with any gimmicks. He opened the envelope cheerfully and announced after opening it, "The winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is Li Xuejian for "The Burst Drummer"."
Liu Qianqian immediately stood up excitedly, as happy as if she had won a prize.
"Teacher Li, congratulations."
Chen Linfeng also stood up and hugged Li Xuejian behind him to celebrate.
“Congratulations, I finally didn’t let Mr. Li act in my movie in vain.”
Li Xuejian said with a smile, “It’s nothing, it’s a very happy thing to be in a good movie. "
The surrounding audience didn't know much about this old man from mainland China, but the mainland actors recognized this teacher very much.
They applauded one after another, leading some actors and audiences at the scene to also applaud.
