Chapter 537 A powerful woman, the biggest winner
After awarding the award to Princess Sweet, Zhou Yutang returned to his seat.
The task of awarding awards is completed, and there are still several nominations to come.
On the left is Lao Mouzi, and in front are the talented director Xu Ke and his wife Shi Nansheng.
During this period, we inevitably talked about Zhou Yutang’s new film, and Shi Nansheng took the initiative to say: “Director Zhou, if your film “Chi Ling” is completed in February, I can help you contact the Cannes Film Selection Committee. .”
"Then I'll trouble Sister Shi."
Zhou Yutang didn't show any pretense.
Shi Nansheng has been operating in France for a long time and has many connections. He recently received the French Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters from the French Government’s Ministry of Culture and Communications.
"Little things."
Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "Lao Xu often mentioned your movie during this time, and I am looking forward to it too."
The relationship between Zhou Yutang and Xu Ke is also very good.
When filming "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Xu Ke was hired as the art director. Zhou Yutang spent more time communicating with Xu Ke than he spent with Naza Nai Wai.
Brother Long is right, Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes, and women will only hinder progress.
Both of them recognized each other's abilities and style of doing things, and felt a certain sympathy for each other.
Zhou Yutang is famous for bringing up flying fish girls, and the talented director is also very good at teaching actresses.
For example, Xiao Qian in "A Chinese Ghost Story", gold inlaid jade in "Dragon Gate Inn", and Thirteenth Aunt in "Once Upon a Time".
They are all classics in the film industry.
Even the oiran played by Yang Ying in "The Dragon King of the City of Gods" received a lot of praise.
Xu Ke really knows how to teach an actress how to perform, even practicing it personally. Zhou Yutang also learned a lot.
Xu Ke gave a lot of advice when filming the stunning scene of Guli Nazha in "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp".
Tonight's Golden Horse invited April Day, who sang very hard on the stage. Several people in the audience talked about the main theme of the commercial film, "At that time, I was studying in America and watched the Peking Opera version of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" , I was so shocked that I watched it dozens of times."
"Later I watched "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" and learned more about it. This story of suppressing bandits and fighting wits was so exciting that I suddenly thought, if I use it. It should be very interesting to express this story in a movie way.”
When Xu Ke talked about the things he was interested in, his eyes lit up, his hands moved, and his tone was slightly excited.
Lao Mouzi nodded slightly, seeming to agree, but Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly: "Director Xu wants to do "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"?"
"Yes, there is this. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
Xu Ke nodded with uncontrollable excitement: "Director Zhou, do you think you have done something?"
As they spoke, the couple's eyes fell on Zhou Yutang.
No one in the industry knows that Zhou Yutang has a unique grasp of the film market.
That Xuanhe incomparable record created an undefeated golden body for him.
Both Han Sanping of China Film and Television, as well as big bosses such as Ren Zhonglun and Guangwang Changtian of Shanghai Film and Television, all rely heavily on him.
It was a rare encounter, and Xu Ke also wanted to hear Zhou Yutang's thoughts.
Of course, what is more important is that the rights to adapt the original novel were acquired by Jiangdong Entertainment a few years ago. Without his support, this project would not be possible.
"Director Xu has a good vision, and the main theme of commercial movies must have a lot of market space."
Zhou Yutang glanced at the couple with a half-smile, and then asked: "Xu What kind of contract did the director sign with Huayi? "
The head of the studio, Shi Nansheng, immediately understood and said, "The studio's contract with Huayi for the "Di Renjie" series will not be affected."< br>
"Sister Shi."
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "When the time comes, you can go and talk to Li Shuang in detail."
The reason why I asked Xu Ke about how to cooperate with Huayi was mainly because he didn't want to bring him Huayi plays.
Xu Ke’s director’s studio, he is responsible for filming, and Shi Nansheng is the big housekeeper of the studio, responsible for taking care of all other things.
I just mentioned the matter in Cannes, which is actually to introduce the topic.
Shi Nansheng is indeed a very powerful woman.
You know, Xu Ke is almost a known person. There is someone outside.
She could keep her composure and showed no signs of breaking up with Xu Ke.
Although he is curious about Director Xu’s way of handling his wife, Zhou Yutang has no problem with his emotional intelligence and will definitely not take the liberty to ask about it.
The award ceremony is still going on. The best adapted screenplay was won by Liu Zhenyun's "1942". "Now Now" finally opened and won the best visual effects.
That thrilling and dazzling magic show swept the whole of Asia. The award was well deserved, and the audience at the scene gave him warm applause.
The competition for Best New Director was also fierce, and the award was given to Wu Baige, who piloted the Eastern Titanic to set sail again.
At this time, he was recovering from a serious illness and looked good. His partner was the veteran actor Ti Lung.
"Chen Zheyi, "Parents Are Not Home"."
"Liang Lemin, Lu Jianqing, "Cold War"."
"Wen Muye, "Rescue Mr. My"."
"Mai Junlong, "Zombie"."
"Xu Zhaoren, "Sweet Secret"."
Two They exchanged a few pleasantries, without showing off, and directly announced the winner: "The winner of the Best New Director is Director Chen Zheyi, congratulations."
The movie "Parents" was quickly shown on the big screen. Highlights of "Not at Home".
Director Chen is also a young and talented director. His debut short film was selected for the World Cinema Screening Project at the Cannes Film Festival.
Two consecutive works have appeared in Cannes. This film focusing on family ethics won the Camera d'Or at last year's Cannes International Film Festival.
The Best Supporting Actress was also won by Yang Yanyan of "My Parents Are Not Home", which also means that there will be almost no other awards for "My Parents Are Not Home" in the future.
However, for Director Chen, there has never been such a wonderful start to his career as a director.
I was talking to Lao Mouzi about "Eliminate Three Evils in Zhou Chu". According to Lao Mouzi's intention, when he finishes filming "Return", he will start preparations for the project when he returns after the year.
Zhou Yutang somewhat admired his vigorous energy and felt that Lao Mouzi was a bit like Lao Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tigers of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms.
When you are old and strong, your arrows are still sharp.
When the award ceremony entered the second half, the national teacher finally began to exert its strength.
Many people turned their attention to Zhou Yutang, including Liu Yifei who was smiling on the stage.
Standing next to Miss Liu is Aaron Kwok. Guo Tianwang, who just appeared at the Busan Film Festival last month, is very expressive: "Yifei, your movie "Bouquet of Love" last year seemed like It’s a script written by Director Zhou.”
"Yes." Liu Yifei said with a smile.
“This year I acted in “The Witness”, which was also written by Director Zhou. He can perfectly control various types of scripts.”
“The Witness” was released in September. "Dark to the End" is also a hot topic in public opinion, and it is also the highest-grossing movie in Guo Tianwang's career as an actor.
"Chill" is worth over 300 million, and "Witness" has a total box office of 378 million.
The two investments are not at the same level at all, and the latter has an astonishing return rate of nearly 10 times.
"I think."
Aaron Kwok opened the envelope, looked at it, and said with a smile: "As an actor, the happiest thing is to receive a high-quality script. Yifei, you Come and read."
"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is "Hunting", Zhou Yutang."
Liu Yifei took the card, her red lips opened slightly, and she smiled like a flower: "Congratulations, you are. The well-deserved best screenwriter. "
His eyes were shining like autumn water, and his eyes were looking in the direction of Yu Tang next to the stage.
At this time, countless people's eyes were focused on Zhou Yutang.
The most prestigious gold medal screenwriter in the circle has once again added a brilliant touch to his amazing record.
Taking the trophy from Aaron Kwok, Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei, listening to Miss Liu giggle: "Congratulations, Xiao Zhou."
"Thank you."
< br>After all, this was a public place. Zhou Yutang only hugged her for more than ten seconds before letting go, took the microphone and talked eloquently:
"Thank you to this year's Golden Horse judges, thank you to the award presenters, thank you to all the fans who like this drama, and director Zhang Yimou, who perfectly conveyed what this script wants to express to the audience. Thank you everyone."
< br>After so many years, Zhou Yutang has become a veteran, and it is impossible to be nervous.
He walked off the stage with the trophy, and the following awards had little to do with him.
Continuing to chat with Lao Mouzi about "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", after passing several awards, when it came to the Best Supporting Actor, something unexpected happened.
The award presenters are Huang Bo and Zheng Yuling.
As usual, the two award-presenting guests were asked to make jokes together. Zheng Yuling looked at Huang Bo, first made fun of his hairstyle, and then said:
"I haven't been to the Golden Horse Awards for 5 years, so They were dressed very grandly today. Look at Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Zhou Yutang, and Liang Chaowei at the scene."
"They were all dressed very grandly, but you were the only one who came here wearing pajamas."
"You. I haven’t been to the Golden Horse Awards for 5 years. Maybe I don’t know. I have been attending the Golden Horse Awards ceremony for the past 5 years.”
Huang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: “This feeling is amazing. Just like going home, think about what you should wear at home. Of course, feeling comfortable is the most important thing.”
Many guests in the audience applauded Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence, but it's a pity that some people just don't have the brains.
The host Cai Kangyong, who has a background in talking, took over the topic, first praised Zheng Yuling, and said in a strange way: "Huang Bo, this is my home, not yours."
Wait for him After saying these words, the originally lively scene suddenly changed.
Some brainless people in the audience are still laughing.
But for those old-timers, it is probably not difficult to feel that there is a bit of sensitivity in these words.
Jackie Chan and Andy Lau sitting in the front row, the smiles on their faces have disappeared, Aaron Kwok pursed his lips tightly and looked serious.
Zhou Yutang frowned, and there was a slight coldness in his eyes. Zhang Yimou, who was beside him, also darkened his face.
"Haha, actually I just saw it."
Huang Bo's reaction was not unpleasant. He laughed twice and continued to talk: "You are not fighting alone. There is also a horse with you. It has grown so big. I have only seen people riding horses, but I have never seen horses riding people."
Zhou Yutang secretly praised him and applauded him.
It is said that Huang Bo has a high emotional intelligence, and there is indeed a reason.
Whether it is in terms of politics or personal dignity, his response is watertight.
Cai Kangyong wore a suit on the red carpet tonight. There was a horse doll on the back, which was very strange.
But in addition, Huang Bo's words have several other meanings. The first is that he is replying to Cai Kangyong.
As far as the relationship between the two places is concerned, the mainland is undoubtedly the father.
Then there is the insinuation of Cai Kangyong's orientation.
Cai Kangyong has a boyfriend named Ma Qiren, isn’t he just a “horse rider”?
The slightly tense atmosphere at the scene disappeared, and there was a burst of laughter.
After such an episode, the awards ceremony continued.
Shu Qi and Dai Liren were the presenters of the Best Supporting Actor award, and Li Xuejian took home the award for his wonderful performance in "1942".
The best actress award went to Zhang Ziyi in "The Grandmaster".
Putting aside everything else, if she is given a role with a high degree of adaptability, the performance of the international chapter will definitely not stretch her hips. The Sunglasses King's "The Grandmaster" was cast into "The Legend of the Palace" by her.
In the competition for Best Actor, Huang Xiaoming did not accidentally accompany him.
Relying on his superb performance in "Hunting", Zhang Songwen defeated Bay Province actors Li Kangsheng, Liang Chaowei and Zha Zhahui.
Zhou Yutang was mentioned again in his acceptance speech, which attracted a lot of attention.
Lao Mouzi also won the best picture without any suspense.
In the competition for best director, it lost to "Outing" directed by Tsai Ming-liang.
Director Cai has a local household registration in Bay Province, which is also a way to win respect for local movies.
After the award ceremony, Zhou Yutang did not attend the reception and was planning to fly directly to America tonight. Li An came over specifically to persuade him to stay: "Yu Tang, why don't you leave tomorrow morning?"
"Director Li, the schedule is all arranged."
"Sorry, I'm really embarrassed tonight."
Director Li An sighed helplessly.
On the 50th anniversary of his reigning as king of the Golden Horse, the first half was perfect, but something like this happened later, like a rat droppings mixed into a pot of porridge.
“Haha, this is also an accident.”
A smile broke out on Zhou Yutang's face.
In fact.
Each award presenter and host has a script, and they will dialogue backstage in advance.
Everyone knows what should be said and what should not be said. Like Cai Kangyong, it is obviously the result of his free expression.
The award ceremony was just over and he left immediately without accepting an interview.
Liu Yifei also withdrew.
Miss Liu felt that these cocktail parties were boring, and she wanted to try spending time with Zhou Yutang in the air.
After a long journey, I finally landed in America. Aunt Liu also called me, "Sissi, aren't you going back to the capital today?"
"Mom, I'm in America. , just got off the plane."
Miss Liu put on a pair of sunglasses and said confidently: "Xiao Zhou, you are next to me, I want to see the finished film of "Super Body""
Only then did Zhou Yutang realize that she had just made it up on the spur of the moment and didn't even tell Aunt Liu about it.
Now there is a business trip planned in the capital, so I have to postpone it.
"Come back soon."
Aunt Liu on the other end of the phone sighed and suppressed the idea of preaching.
Of course she knows what her daughter’s temperament is.
Maybe I was under forced control before and was suppressed for a long time, but now I have reached the rebellious stage and I have my own ideas.
You tell her to go east, but she insists on going west. The main thing is to be willful.
After calling to arrange Liu Yifei’s schedule, Aunt Liu took a look at the entertainment news. Today’s headlines were all about the Golden Horse Awards that had just concluded.
“Zhou Yutang won the Best Screenplay Award, Golden Horse Awards. The magical CPs reunited at the awards! "
"Zhang Yimou's "Hunting" won the best feature film, Zhang Songwen was crowned emperor, and Jiangdong Entertainment became the biggest winner! "
"Zhang Ziyi burst into tears on the spot and confessed her love to Wang Feng. Good things are about to happen for the two of them!"
"Cai Kangyong's remarks caused controversy, and Huang Bo's high EQ reply was met with overwhelming applause!"
"Brother Bo's emotional intelligence It’s really high.”
On the way to New Line Company, Liu Yifei was reading the news while Zhou Yutang’s phone kept ringing beside her.
Wen Muye was reporting work to him, including the company's affairs.
We have reached an agreement with the new director, and "Charlotte Troubles" will be released in December.
This movie has already started to be promoted in October. Although Happy Twist is not well-known, with Zhou Yutang in it, it can be seen in domestic first-line variety shows.
The progress of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" is expected to be completed in December and can be placed on the Spring Festival schedule.
After arranging these two things, Zhou Yutang made several phone calls.
Liu Yifei narrowed her dark and bright eyes, touched his arm, and asked: "Xiao Zhou, I just heard you calling the top management of the TV station, are you planning to take revenge on Cai Kangyong? ?”
Ni Nidu glanced sideways.
She also knows about tonight’s award ceremony.
“You know all this?”
Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.
Sometimes Liu Yifei is very naive, but other times she is extremely smart.
"Intuition."
"Your intuition is very accurate."
Zhou Yutang nodded and admitted frankly.
Liu Yifei is indeed right.
The Governor of Jiangdong was not big-minded. Since he didn’t like the guy, he made arrangements later.
Cai Kangyong is very popular in the Bay Area, and many TV stations in the mainland have also extended an olive branch to him.
His variety show hosting fee is calculated on a collective basis, which is about NT$120,000 (approximately 24,000 RMB) in Taiwan Province, while his variety show quotation in mainland China starts at least 600,000!
Almost thirty times that of Bay Province!
With such a huge market in the Mainland, you can easily eat something that will make your mouth water.
But he couldn't eat this mouthful of meat.
He was included in Jiangdong's blacklist, and basically no first-tier TV station would use him.
Zhou Yutang used his own network resources, and it was not difficult to do this.
Zhou Yutang is quite satisfied with the overall effect of "Super Body", except for a few parts that need to be edited to make the viewing experience smoother.
Liu Yifei didn't stay long, and soon returned to China reluctantly.
The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the angrier she became. She issued twelve gold medals in a row. If she didn’t go back, she would kill herself and come to America.
Before leaving, Liu Yifei pulled Ni Ni to whisper, which Zhou Yutang only found funny.
The next step is to arrange the reception.
Probably because he was worried that he had fallen into a honey trap.
When the two were chatting not long ago, Zhou Yutang mentioned Scarlett's figure, and Miss Liu was a little bit worried about it.
Zhou Yutang unexpectedly met Zhang Ziyi at the reception.
The international award winning Golden Horse Award winner came here to attend the reception - she is a member of the Academy of Film and Television, and the annual Oscar awards season is also her busiest time.
Zhang Ziyi took the initiative to express her goodwill and made it clear that she would vote for it.
Zhou Yutang has almost mastered the top resources in the domestic entertainment circle, and she also wants to get on the big ship of Jiangdong.
But her vote alone is not enough, public relations must be provided.
Harvey is a professional at this.
After leaving the matter to Bob, Zhou Yutang returned to the crew and continued the filming of "Chi Ling".
Pei Yanzhi on the stage is still the best in the song "Peach Blossom Fan", in which Li Xiangjun's peach blossom fan is stained with blood.
It’s just that today’s performance was more decisive than before.
Zeng Li was behind the monitor, watching almost infatuatedly. At this moment, Zhou Yutang looked like the extremely handsome Mr. Pei.
The emotion of the whole play also reached its climax in the last fire.
The sky-high flames in the theater pierced the dark night.
It also burned away the panic of the jackals in the room. Pei Yanzhi died generously, and the light and fire reflected the wrinkles on Li Xuejian's face, stretching them inch by inch.
“Passed.”
Zhou Yutang checked the last shot and shouted with relief.
Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to achieve the best shooting effect, the last scene where the theater building collapsed in the fire was shot in real locations, which cost a lot of money.
First, tons of burning wood are laid along the preset track, and adjustable nozzles are used to generate flames and control the fire to spread extremely quickly, covering the ground with dust and ash.
In order to prevent accidents, the local fire department was specially invited to be nearby and ready for rescue at any time.
The whole process had some twists and turns, but fortunately there was no danger in the end.
After more than a month of shooting, the movie was finally completed.
Many actors have actually finished filming and left the crew, but Han Sanping came here specially to attend the wrapping banquet. His precious daughter is a producer, and Han Sanping's face darkened when he said:
"Old Han, come here. Why not drink? "
"That's ridiculous. I'm here to talk about work."
"You're already retired, so what's the point of talking about work?"
That's right. Only Han Jianu dared to tease the mountain eagle like this, and the crew suppressed their laughter very professionally.
"."
Han Sanping obviously had nothing to do with his leaky little cotton-padded jacket.
Although she still has a poker face, when asked about Han Jia Nyeo's performance on the set, she naturally showed concern.
"Teacher Li, thank you for your hard work."
At the closing banquet, everyone Zhou Yutang took the initiative to hold the wine glass and toasted Li Xuejian.
Li Xuejian drank drinks. He used to skip meals without drinking wine in the morning, and he was not interested in other alcoholic beverages. He only drank Erguotou.
Later, I had a physical condition and quit smoking and drinking. I am still in good health now.
As long as you have feelings, whatever you drink is wine.
Li Xuejian had a smile on his face: "Yu Tang, I still have a play, and I'll leave tonight. If you need a notebook in the future, you are welcome to come to me at any time."
"No problem. ”
Zhou Yutang agreed wholeheartedly: "Teacher Li, if there is a suitable scene, I will definitely find you."
His filming style is to be intense, except for the daily shooting tasks, and there are still meetings after the end.
Zhou Yutang is young and strong, and has long adapted to this working mode, but Li Xuejian found it a bit hard to handle. However, he was full of professionalism and declined special treatment, gritting his teeth and persevering all the way.
After the wedding banquet, Zhou Yutang asked Chen Xi to arrange a send-off for Teacher Li.
Han Sanping has a rare moment of leisure. Now that his work has basically been handed over, he only has the project "In the Name of the People" left in his hands.
This is CCTV's opening show of the year, and the first-round asking price is not high.
But this drama, besides making money, has a more profound meaning.
