Chapter 579 Best Actor and Best Actor
[The Wandering Earth] wrapped up. Gu Wei did not go back to the capital directly, but took a flight to Hohhot, Mongolia Province.
On the evening of September 16, the closing ceremony of the 31st China Golden Rooster Awards and the 26th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was held at the Ethnic Minority Mass Culture and Sports Center in Hohhot.
As the Golden Horse and Golden Statues become more regionalized, the Golden Rooster Award, one of the three gold medals, has undoubtedly become the most authoritative and influential film award in China.
The Golden Rooster Awards are held every two years in turn with the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards. The last time was in September 2015 in Jishi.
Since his debut, Gu Wei has filmed many movies, many of which were box-office hits.
Unfortunately, his films are basically commercial films, and he is reluctant to win various minor awards, but it is difficult to win the truly authoritative awards.
Three gold medals in China and three major European film festivals. Such heavyweight and authoritative awards focus more on literary and artistic films. It is pure fantasy to win awards with commercial films.
The same applies to the Oscars in North America. DiCaprio was so handsome back then that he could be said to be the global male god. "Titanic" was so popular that he won the film history championship at the time, but he still missed the Oscar.
Until 2015, Leonardo, who was already 41 years old, finally won the Academy Award for Best Actor that year for his role in "The Revenant", in which he ate raw meat and hid his horse's belly, after 22 years of running with him.
Gu Wei is currently a bit like Little Plum in the film field. His works have high box office and he is very popular, but he is not favored by authoritative awards.
Mainly because of the nature of his filmmaking.
Gu Wei came to attend this year's Golden Rooster Awards because he was nominated for Best Actor for "Operation Mekong", which was released in 2016.
This is also the first time that Gu Wei has been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award in the five years since his debut.
Although the probability of winning the award is not high, it is still a big honor to be nominated.
After walking along the red carpet with the crew of "Operation Mekong", Gu Wei entered the awards hall.
“Brother Chao, what a coincidence~”
The location of their crew happened to be next to the crew of [Scorching Sun].
Deng Chao was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath and a black bow tie at the collar. He looked energetic.
"Gu Wei, we have met again just a few days ago, and he is still so handsome!" Deng Chao greeted with a smile.
"Both each other, I didn't expect that today Brother Chao and we will become competitors."
Deng Chao, like Gu Wei, was also nominated for Best Actor.
"Hahaha, you don't have to be polite to me. If you win the Best Actor Award later, just treat me to a meal~"
"I would really like to treat me to this meal, but it depends on the situation, Brother Chao. The probability is higher!"
Although he performed very well in "Operation Mekong", the subject matter of the movie still has certain limitations on Gu Wei's acting skills.
And in the suspense crime film "The Sun Burns Heart", Deng Chao's performance is indeed very exciting.
"What if neither of us can do anything?"
Gu Wei rolled his eyes and saw Zhang Yi sitting behind the two of them.
“If you don’t have any choice, let Brother Yi invite you.”
Zhang Yi was happily listening to the chat between the two people in front of him, but suddenly he was cueed with a question mark on his head.
"You two are betting, why do you want me to treat you?
I was nominated for Best Supporting Actor this year, and I was not nominated for Best Actor."
"Brother Yi, your Magnolia TV show a few months ago The emperor should have taken it after all. It’s a pity that as a competitor, I was sure that you would win the prize, but in the end, Shi Di didn’t even ask me to have a meal to comfort him.”
“Well, okay, then I’ll take care of it. "Zhang Yi is an honest man, even if Gu Wei said so, he couldn't refuse.
The main reason is that he has a good relationship with Gu Wei and Deng Chao, so it doesn't matter who invites them to dinner.
Needless to say, the relationship between Zhang Yi and Gu Wei is mainly because of Sun Li.
In the early years, Zhang Yi was a member of the Comrades Art Troupe of the Beijing Military Region, while Sun Li was a member of the Art Troupe of the Shanghai Garrison Military Region Headquarters. The two had collaborated in 1999.
Later, in 2013, he collaborated with Sun Li in "Hot Mom", playing the role of a couple.
The filming location was not far from Deng Chao’s home. Deng Chao came to the set with his son in his arms, which made Zhang Yi very embarrassed.
While the three of them were chatting, Zhou Dongyu, wearing a golden dress, came over. Her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Wei's figure, and she waved to him happily.
Gu Wei also responded with a smile.
"Are you familiar with Zhou Dongyu?" Deng Chao asked curiously.
"Normally, we are classmates in college~"
"Your class is really amazing, an absolute star class.
Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Horse Best Actress, you two And being nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor and Best Actress at the same time, your teachers must be extremely happy," Zhang Yi praised.
"It is estimated that there will be reports about your nomination in the news tomorrow," Deng Chao said.
“Zhou Dongyu had already become famous for his identity as a girl before he went to school. I was still unknown at that time, just an ordinary student.
Although we were classmates, we didn’t actually know him very well.”
Gu Wei shrugged.
In fact, since Gu Wei's debut, the little yellow duck has shown goodwill to him several times, but he is really not interested in him, so he only talks with him to save face.
The Golden Rooster Awards ceremony began soon. After a song and dance as the opening performance, the awards began to be awarded one after another.
The first awards are awards such as Best Art, Best Photography, Best Music, Best Editing, etc.
The best editing was awarded to "Rescue Mr. My Life", the best music was awarded to "Cairo Declaration", the best photography was awarded to "Village Opera", and the best art was awarded to "The Demise of Romance".
Then the Director's Debut Award was awarded to Wen Zhang, who directed "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li".
This former No. 1 youngster in Mainland China, although his acting career has been ruined, seems to be developing in the directing industry.
Immediately after interspersed with songs and dances by some supporting actors, the ceremony began to award the Best Supporting Actor and Actor Awards. The Best Supporting Actress award was awarded to Mr. Wu Yanshu from "Relocation". This is a real veteran actor, she is 77 years old this year.
Teacher Wu joined the Shanxi Theater in 1959. During this period, he was invited to star in the play "Liu Hulan" in the Great Hall of the People many times, and was cordially received by Premier Zhou. He is a true people's artist of the older generation.
After retiring in 2003, Mr. Wu began to act in TV series and movies, basically playing supporting roles as an old lady.
After the Best Supporting Actress award, it’s the turn of the Best Supporting Actor.
Most of the nominated Gu Wei know each other, including Yu Hewei [I am not Pan Jinlian], Wang Qianyuan [Rescue Mr. Wu], Zhu Yawen [Lu Yao knows Ma Li], Sun Weimin [Bloody Battle on the Xiangjiang River] and Zhang Yi [The Chaser].
They are all talented people, so it’s no surprise whoever wins the award.
"Wang Qianyuan [Rescue My Mr.], Yu Hewei [I am not Pan Jinlian], congratulations to both of you!"
What is surprising is that this year's Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor It turned out to be a double yolk egg, and both Wang Qianyuan and Yu Hewei won the prize.
"It's okay, Brother Yi, I guess you will receive the Best Actor Award next time you come"
Gu Wei smiled and applauded, and did not forget to comfort Zhang Yi.
But what he said is absolutely right. With Zhang Yi's rapid rise in the past two years, it will be difficult or impossible to get the opportunity to play a supporting role in the future. The winner will definitely be the best actor.
"Haha, I hope so." Zhang Yi was very open-minded, with no trace of disappointment on his face.
Soon, the Golden Rooster Awards entered the second half, and the rest are the most watched awards.
[Operation Mekong] defeated [July and Ansheng], [Old Paoer], [Blood Battle on the Xiangjiang River], and [I Am Not Pan Jinlian] to win the Best Feature Film Award.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Xiaogang won the Best Director Award for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".
This is the second time that Director Feng has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director. The last time he won it was in 2009 with "Assembly Number".
“Today [I am not Pan Jinlian] will be the biggest winner. If there are no accidents, the best actress will probably be Fan Bingbing.”
“Bingbing? No way. .”
Hearing Gu Wei’s words, Deng Chao was a little suspicious.
He and Fan Bingbing are old acquaintances, and they are very aware of each other's acting skills. He must have them, but they are not sophisticated.
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and motioned to Deng Chao to watch.
After the Best Director Award, the award presenters took the stage to announce the winner of the Best Actress.
Gu Wei's guess was indeed correct. Fan Bingbing won the first Golden Rooster Best Actress in her life with "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".
Fan Bingbing was very excited when he heard that he had won the award. He hugged Feng Xiaogang and Li Chen beside him, and then went on stage to receive the award.
Zhou Dongyu, who was nominated at the same time, looked a bit unhappy. It was only in July and Ansheng that she won the Golden Horse Best Actress. She was also very hopeful for the Golden Rooster Award, but she didn't expect to lose to Fan Bingbing, who is not known for her acting skills.
Yan Ni, who also missed out on Best Actress, had no reaction. She smiled and clapped her hands in congratulations. It felt like her mind was not in the scene and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Deng Chao clapped and turned to look at Gu Wei in surprise.
It means "Your prediction is really accurate"
The final best actor is about to be announced, and Gu Wei is also a little nervous.
With his current fame and his performance in "Operation Mekong", it is not surprising to win the Golden Rooster Best Actor. It just depends on whether the jury is willing to give him this award.
"The winner of the 31st Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor is" award presenter You Yong opened the envelope and handed it to Xi Meijuan beside him.
"Deng Chao, [scorching sun]!" Teacher Xi read out the names of the winners.
‘Huh’ Gu Wei sighed slightly in his heart, ‘it really doesn’t work.’
Then he clapped and congratulated with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Brother Chao!"
"Thank you, thank you"
Deng Chao almost jumped out of his seat when he heard the surprise on his face when he heard that he had won the award.
This is the first time in his life that he has won the Golden Rooster Best Actor, and it is also the most important award he has received in more than 20 years of work.
Deng Chao became famous very early. He has filmed many film and television dramas over the years, and his acting skills are also well recognized by everyone, but he has always received few awards.
Huang Xiaoming, who has always been competing with him, has already won the Grand Slam in the mainland film industry four years ago, despite having made so many bad movies, and won the three best actor awards in Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao.
In terms of awards, it can be said that Deng Chao was beaten.
The only thing that Deng Chao is better than Huang Xiaoming now is that he successfully transformed into a director, while Xiaoming brother has been walking on the path of an actor and has not been caught up in the trend of cross-border directors in the entertainment industry. Influence.
After a while, Deng Chao had returned from receiving the award.
He was holding the Golden Rooster Award trophy in his hand, with a silly smile on his face. He was immersed in excited joy and couldn't extricate himself.
"Brother Chao, do you have to treat me this time?"
"Please, I must invite you. When you return to the capital, come to my house and ask Sister Li to show you her skills. Then call Xiaolu and Chen He"
"Winning the Best Actor Award will help improve your family status at home?" Gu Wei was a little curious when Deng Chao mentioned Sun Li.
"Haha, my family status needs to be mentioned. I have always said that it is the same and there is no room for improvement at all."
Gu Wei curled his lips.
"Have you reached the top or been crushed to death?"
"Looking down on me? Do I look like a henpecked person?
Wait until we go back for dinner this time and let you see what I do in the family. status here." Deng Chao looked confident, but he was thinking in his heart.
‘After taking the best actor back, my wife should be able to give me this face’
