Chapter 683 Hundred Flowers Movie King
The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is currently one of the most important film festivals in the domestic film field.
It has two categories: the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award, which are held in rotation every year.
The Golden Rooster Award is jointly sponsored by the Filmmakers Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and is one of the highest honors in the domestic film industry.
The selection criteria include the ideological, artistic and ornamental aspects of the works, and the works are required to reach a high level in terms of literary, artistic and market performance.
Because it is selected by professional filmmakers, it is also called the "Expert Award".
The selection method of the Hundred Flowers Awards is completely different. The majority of movie audiences vote online or by phone to select the most popular film, most popular director, most popular male and female protagonists and other awards.
Since the Hundred Flowers Award is voted by the audience, there is a certain degree of randomness in the number of votes. It may not completely represent the true level of the movie, but it reflects the audience's love for the movie, so it is also It's called the Audience Award.
Last year, Gu Wei was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor for "Operation Mekong", but unfortunately he lost to Deng Chao's "Scorching Sun".
However, it is not surprising that in the Golden Rooster Awards, which places more emphasis on "literary" and "artistic", it is natural for commercial action films to lose to literary and artistic dramas.
At the closing ceremony of this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, it was the Hundred Flowers Awards' turn to host, and it was no surprise that Gu Wei was selected again.
To be honest, Gu Wei is very confident about winning the award this year. After all, based on popularity and audience votes, he doesn't think anyone can beat him.
On the evening of November 10, the closing ceremony of the 27th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 34th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony were held at the Foshan International Sports and Culture Performing Arts Center in Guangzhou.
Gu Wei's plane landed in Foshan at noon, he changed his clothes and put on makeup and took a car to the outside of the award ceremony venue.
Walking through the red carpet amidst the cheers of fans, reporters from various media took photos, and strode into the cultural performance hall.
In the lounge, Gu Wei saw many familiar people as soon as he came in.
“I just heard the fans outside shouting so loudly, and I knew it was you who arrived~” Wu Jing, wearing a black suit, came up to him with a smile.
This year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is held from November 7th to November 10th. Most nominated actors like Gu Wei arrived on the last day and only attended the awards ceremony.
Wu Jing has been coming to Foshan since the beginning of the film festival because he was invited by the organizer to become the image ambassador of the film festival this year.
Gu Wei stepped forward and hugged him gently, then coughed slightly and took a step back. With a smile on his face, he raised one arm and stretched his palm forward, making the figure of Wu Jing classic action.
He held it for two seconds and then burst into laughter.
“You guy!” Of course Wu Jing knew what he meant, and smiled and patted Gu Wei on the shoulder.
"Brother Jing, you are really lazy. I remember this pose you did when you got married. It's the same everywhere you go over the years. You don't even change your pose on the film festival posters?"
< br>Wu Jing was a little embarrassed.
“There are so many cool poses. I think this action is very good, and the photographer also said yes when taking the photo.”
"That's right. This gesture has become your classic move. Wu Jing reaches out."
As he said this, Gu Wei raised his hand to gesture again.
“You have a great harvest at this year’s Hundred Flowers Awards, Brother Jing, and you are nominated for four awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor!”
After chatting and laughing , Gu Wei congratulated.
“It’s just good luck. No matter how many nominations you make, it’s useless if you don’t win”
Wu Jing had a smile on his face. Because of the huge sales of his movies, he had won many awards at various award ceremonies in the past year.
This is not the first time he has been nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award. At the last Hundred Flowers Award in 2016, he was nominated for Best Film, Outstanding Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay for "Wolf Warrior 1". It was almost the same as this year, except in the end it only won the Outstanding Film Award.
“By the way, when you applied for the award, I also nominated you for Best Actor. The organizer may have considered that you were from [Operation Mekong], so they didn’t nominate you [Battle]. "Wolf 2" Best Actor" Wu Jing explained what he thought of.
"I know, I applied for Best Actor in a total of three films, and I will definitely only have one left in the end. It is impossible for me to be nominated for all of them."
Gu Wei nodded to express his understanding.
In addition to "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Mekong", Gu Wei's "Cohabitation in Time and Space" released this year has also been applied for awards, and it will definitely be shortlisted with one film.
The two chatted for a while. Wu Jing looked at Gu Wei and hesitated:
"I have a movie here that I want to see you for?"
"What movie? Are you going to film [Wolf Warrior 3]?" Gu Wei joked.
“It is a gift film from Shanghai Film Production Factory called [The Climbers], which tells the story of a mountaineering team climbing Mount Everest.
As you know, next year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Mr. Ren of Shanghai Film Group personally approached me. I also read the script and felt that the story was really good, so I took it
In addition to the heroine, there are also some The important supporting role has not been decided yet. Do you think you are interested? ”
Wu Jing also knew that Gu Wei would rarely play supporting roles in movies, so he was a little embarrassed.
But everyone knew that he had a good relationship with Gu Wei, so director Li Rengang Please invite him.
"[Climber]" Gu Wei touched his chin.
He has some impressions of this movie. The box office of over 1 billion is not bad, but the reputation is not very good. The love line of the heroine Zhang Ziyi is too superfluous.
If Gu Wei plays the role, with the appeal of him and Wu Jing, the box office of the film will definitely exceed that of the original version.
Moreover, Zhang Ziyi is able to do extra scenes, so if Gu Wei is cast in the role, she will definitely do extra scenes like crazy, and she will not be inferior to the male and female protagonists.
But it’s useless, there is no need at all.
“When will it be turned on?”
"February or March next year."
Gu Wei shook his head slightly.
“I’m currently filming a movie that’s finished, and there are two more movies to come, including [Tang Detective 3], so it’s hard to spare time.”
“Understand, there’s nothing we can do about it. , we can only work together again next time we have a chance."
"I have a good young actor here who I can recommend to you~"
Gu Wei thought for a while and said.
"Who?"
"Li Xian, who acted in a summer TV series "Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost" and last year's "The Legend of Chu Qiao", is currently very popular. ”
Gu Wei looked at Wu Jing’s confused face.
"Well, I guess you haven't seen it yet. Just go back and ask your sister-in-law. Li County is very famous among young people and has good acting skills.
When he debuted, he collaborated with teacher Yan Bingyan in "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart"."
"I've seen this one. You're talking about the one where he plays Yan Bingyan's son, right? "
"Yes! "Gu Wei nodded.
"Okay, I'll tell the director later, and then notify Li County to try out the show."
"I'll send you his contact information."
For Gu Wei, [Climber] is useless, but for Li County, it is a top resource that he cannot reach anyway.
Although he rejected [Climber], Wu Jing’s words also reminded Gu Wei.
Next year will be the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Various gift films and mission films will soon be approved. There are some invitations that he cannot refuse. No matter what, he must choose one to act in.
Wu Jing is now a signature of the main theme movies, and Gu Wei is no worse than him. With "Operation Mekong" and "Wolf Warrior 2", he can be regarded as the number one main theme actor among the younger generation of actors.
Gu Wei thought for a while and felt that only [My Motherland and Me] would be more suitable. Wen Mu happened to be one of his people, so he didn’t need to spend too much energy on making a movie. When the time comes, Gu Wei would decide whether to shoot the assigned tasks. Wei has the final say
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Chaoxian came over with the crew of "Operation Red Sea".
This year’s Hundred Flowers Award, if there is no accident, [Operation Red Sea] will definitely be the biggest winner.
[Wolf Warrior 2] was shortlisted for four awards, but [Operation Red Sea] was shortlisted for all the awards, from Best Director, Best Film, to Best Newcomer, all of them were nominated.
Lin Chaoxian was in a very good mood and came over immediately when he saw Gu Wei, an acquaintance.
"Mr. Gu, Director Wu, long time no see~"
He said hello and exchanged a few words with Gu Wei and Wu Jing who were standing together. He was also accompanied by Zhang Yi and Zhang Tianai.
Zhang Yi, like Gu Wei and Wu Jing, was nominated for Best Actor, while Zhang Tianai was nominated for Best Actress for her role as the female reporter Xia Nan in "Operation Red Sea".
We are all acquaintances, standing together and chatting with each other.
“When did you arrive in Foshan?” Gu Wei looked at Zhang Tianai and asked.
The other party is wearing a long black suspender dress today, with long wavy hair cascading down her shoulders, and a curvy figure. She looks extremely sexy.
"Yesterday afternoon, I couldn't believe that I was nominated for Best Actress!"
"No need to belittle yourself, you have worked so hard for filming, it is normal to be nominated"
Zhang Tianai heard the meaning of Gu Wei's words and pouted unhappily.
“Do you think I have no hope of winning the prize?” Although she also believed that her chances of winning the prize were low, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Gu Wei put his head slightly towards Zhang Tianai's ear and whispered:
"Teacher Chen Jin, who was nominated for "Shibadong Village", has already won the Golden Rooster Best Actress and the Huabiao Best Actress, and there is only one difference. The Hundred Flowers Award can achieve a "Grand Slam". Although she is not well-known, she is recognized as a seasoned actress in the industry. The Hundred Flowers Award jury is likely to regard her as a good person"
Although the Hundred Flowers Award is the audience Voting takes place, but the real decision-making power lies with the jury.
After listening to Gu Wei's words, Zhang Tianai understood instantly and looked slightly depressed.
"Is [Emergency Rescue] turned on?" Gu Wei also noticed her unhappiness and changed the subject.
"Not yet, but the filming is scheduled to start this month. After the Hundred Flowers Award is over, I will join the team."
While the two were chatting, Lin Chaoxian brought the other people from [Operation Red Sea] over.
“Mr. Gu, let me introduce to you, these are the other actors in [Operation Red Sea], Du Jiang, Jiang Luxia and Huang Jingyu.
Luxia and Jingyu are both in the industry As a new actor who has not been around for a long time, Mr. Gu will take good care of him in the future.”
Du Jiang was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor, Jiang Luxia was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress, and Huang Jingyu was shortlisted for Best Newcomer Award.
It can be seen that Lin Chaoxian is very optimistic about these main actors in "Operation Red Sea", and specially introduced Gu Wei to help them broaden their contacts.
"Hello~" Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
"Hello, Mr. Gu!" Jiang Luxia and Huang Jingyu greeted somewhat cautiously. They were not pure newcomers. They had both been in the industry for several years and had acted in many movies, but their actual reputations were still outside the third tier. Stars of Gu Wei's level are far apart.
Du Jiang hesitated for a moment and also called out "Hello, Mr. Gu~"
Speaking of which, he is still Gu Wei's senior. He debuted much earlier, but his fame and status are not as good as those of Gu Wei. Fabi.
In the entertainment industry, celebrities have always been ranked first, and it doesn’t matter who debuted early.
Not long after, the award ceremony was about to begin, and the guests present came in and took their seats one after another.
Gu Wei's seat is in the middle of the first row, with Wu Jing on the left and Lin Chaoxian and Yu Dong on the right.
This year's Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony was star-studded. In addition to the nominated actors, there were also many other famous celebrities.
After the opening performance, the best newcomer and best supporting actor and actress were awarded first.
All three awards were won by the crew of "Operation Red Sea".
Huang Jingyu, Du Jiang and Jiang Luxia, who just met Gu Wei in the lounge, won three awards respectively.
"Congratulations to Director Lin and Yu Dong. No matter how you look at it today, [Bona] will be the biggest winner."
Gu Wei clapped his hands and said to the two people beside him, Yu Dong. .
“I also hope that Mr. Gu can win the Hundred Flowers Best Actor!”
Yu Dongdao was not modest and said with a smile.
“My winning of Best Actor is also an honor for the crew of [Operation Mekong]. No matter what, it’s Yu Dong who wins”
“Haha. Win-win, win-win.”
Subsequently, the Best Actress Award was presented, to Gu Wei's surprise.
This year’s Hundred Flowers Best Actress was awarded to Chen Jin, a veteran actor who has been in the film industry for many years. With "Shibadong Village", she defeated Zhang Tianai from "Operation Red Sea" and "July and Ansheng". ] Nominated Zhou Dongyu, Ma Sichun and [The Founding of the Army] Li Qin.
The award-winning teacher Chen Jin was not present today, and someone else accepted the award on her behalf.
The organizer’s award speech is also very interesting, “This year is Chen Jin’s 30th year in the industry, and this award is very important to her.”
In fact, Chen Jin’s teacher Gu Wei also We know each other. She played the role of Princess Pingning and the mother of the young father-in-law in "Do You Know". The two of them had some exchanges when filming.
It would be no problem if the other person won the Best Actress award in terms of acting skills, but in terms of popularity she would definitely not be able to compare with the other nominees, so her winning the award would be considered an upset.
It was finally the turn to award the Best Actor. Gu Wei was a little nervous sitting in the audience. Although he was confident in himself, he did not dare to confirm that he would win the award until the last moment.
The Best Actress won't be an upset, and no one can guarantee that the Best Actor won't be an upset.
The short films of the five candidates were played on the big screen, namely [Army Founding] Zhu Yawen, [Youth] Huang Xuan, [Wolf Warrior 2] Wu Jing, [Operation Mekong] Gu Wei, [Operation Red Sea] Zhang Yi.
"Congratulations to all the actors. I think the nomination is affirmative. Seeing the images you have just created, including soldiers, policemen and great men, audience judges, are you ready?"
"Start voting now, countdown to ten seconds."
After the two female hosts Zhou Tao and Jiang Shuying finished speaking on the stage, the names of the five nominees appeared on the big screen, and 101 audience judges clicked Their voting machines.
Among the five, Gu Wei and Wu Jing's votes rose rapidly, far exceeding the others. Wu Jing stopped at 31 votes, while Gu Wei got 56 votes.
At the end of ten seconds, the Best Actor of the 34th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards was born.
The audience cheered and the venue burst into thunderous applause.
"[Operation Mekong] Gu Wei! Congratulations!" Jiang Shuying looked at Gu Wei in the audience and congratulated.
We traveled together in last year's "Flower Flower 3". I didn't expect that Gu Wei would win the Best Actor Award at such a young age.
Gu Wei stood up and hugged Wu Jing and Lin Chaoxian beside him.
"Congratulations~" He was a little disappointed not to win the award, but Wu Jing was also happy for Gu Wei to win the award.
"Brother Jing, I'm one step ahead of you"
"Haha, don't forget to treat me to dinner later!"
"No problem~"
Zhang Tianai, who was sitting with the crew of "Operation Red Sea", watched Gu Wei clap his hands excitedly, "The best actor, although he is only the Best Actor of Baihua, he is also one of the highest honors in the domestic film industry. As early as when he met Gu Wei, She knew that the other party would have this day sooner or later.
On the other side, Zhou Dongyu and Ma Chun sat together, both of them applauding with smiles on their faces, but Ma Chun was simply happy for Gu Wei, while Zhou Dongyu felt more complicated.
【Young You】After that, she fell out with Gu Wei, but the result was that she could only stay away silently, and she had to endure the discomfort.
If Gu Wei was not doing well, she would still have some thoughts. Now that his career is booming, she can't see the possibility of revenge.
Gu Weida strode onto the stage and received the Best Actor trophy from award presenters Lu Qi and Huang Xiaoming.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Huang Xiaoming hugged Gu Wei and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you."
The three of them took a photo together, and the two award presenters walked off the stage, leaving Gu Wei standing in the center of the stage to give his acceptance speech.
Gu Wei held the trophy in one hand and the certificate in the other, and took a deep breath.
“Hello everyone, I am actor Gu Wei!”
After saying one sentence, the stadium erupted with applause and shouts like a roaring tsunami.
The guests sitting in the front row also applauded.
“Gu Wei’s popularity is so exaggerated, no wonder he won the award.” Zhu Yawen, who was sitting in the second row of the [The Founding of the Army] crew, sighed while looking at the excitement in the venue.
[The Founding of an Army] also received many nominations. Zhu Yawen was nominated for Best Actor, Li Qin was nominated for Best Actress, and Ma Tianyu was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Unfortunately, none of them won.
“The title of box office king is not for nothing. He has become so popular in recent years.
The most important thing is that he is so handsome," Li Qin, who was sitting next to him, answered.
"I am not convinced by what you said. I am not handsome. The audience gave me the nickname No. is a walking hormone~"
Li Qin looked Zhu Yawen up and down and gave him a look that you know.
"Well, Gu Wei is slightly more handsome than me. But just a little bit, no more." Zhu Yawen stretched out his finger and gestured.
The applause and shouts gradually subsided, and Gu Wei continued his acceptance speech.
“Thank you to the audience, the judges, and all the creators and staff of [Operation Mekong].
To be honest, when I started entering this industry, I never thought I could win any awards.
< br>At the beginning, I just wanted to act well, and I wanted more people to see the play I performed. I hope everyone can like the role I played and the work I completed with my heart.
I received this award today. , sincerely and fearfully.
The Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor is both an affirmation and a spur to me.
In the future, I will work harder and produce more and better works to give back to everyone, thank you! ”
