Chapter 15 Golden Horse
Lin Nan felt very embarrassed, standing there like a second-guessing, and from time to time she had to say, "I am in the directing department now."
New junior students. They are very enthusiastic. It has only been three months since "Warm and Bright" was released, and it is still a bit popular.
Just a few days into my sophomore year, good news came.
Li Yang informed himself that Lin Nan was nominated for Best New Actor.
SIPG called and "Warm and Bright" was nominated for Best Original Screenplay.
The school teacher was very happy, Lin Nan was also excited, the best original screenplay was okay, this time it was "Infernal Affairs".
After the news came out, the public learned that it turned out that Lin Nan, the director and star of "The Light", had also acted in "The Blind Shaft".
It is different for the crew of "Warm and Bright". Many people who originally decided not to participate regretted it. Being nominated or not is completely different.
Unfortunately, the list has already been finalized with Shanghai Film Academy, including Lin Nan, Zhu Yawen, Zhou Yang and Jiang Yiyan.
The screenwriter, director, starring actor and even producer are all Lin Nan.
In the past two days, there have been no interruptions in congratulatory calls and messages on Penguin. Many of them are people I only met last time I went next door.
"Director Lin, I wish the movie will win the award..., Tang."
...
Shanghai Film has started promoting it again, and I have been bragging about it for several months. , Lin Nan was almost embarrassed. His face had not yet been tempered to the level of a great director.
The crew of "Lotus Lantern" was a bit confused, but they greeted Lin Nan in advance.
The first part of "Infernal Affairs" was released. After a year of waiting, it was finally released.
This series will also be the last glory of Hong Kong films.
People with a keen sense of smell have begun to actively embrace the mainland. "The Best in the World" has been registered, and "Little Fish and Flowers" is also preparing to be registered.
I have to admit that "Infernal Affairs" is a classic. Everyone said so after coming out of the theater.
Reviews from film critics have been overwhelmingly positive, and they are indeed positive, but these people are really too young. The moon outside has always been round, and they have disliked a large number of mainland films, including Lin Nan's.
Actually, everyone has seen the movie on disc, and its release is just an attempt by China Film to release it. Lin Nan and some classmates still came to support it.
“I heard that the investment exceeded 20 million, which is too bold.”
“The remake rights have been sold, and this one alone sold for nearly 2 million US dollars. You Tell me." Someone said.
“It’s a miracle if we shoot it, and it’s even more of a miracle if we make money.”
...
Sure enough, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and "My Dad and Me" can't compare to the momentum of "Infernal Affairs".
The Golden Horse announced the shortlist, and the two items related to Lin Nan were still there. Now the people around were even more excited.
Nomination means possibility, and being nominated means entering the finals.
Just a few days after the shortlist was announced, and there was still a month before the award ceremony, the teacher started asking him when he would take leave, and just say hello then.
In the past, when students won awards, most of them happened in the school next door, and the school was also under pressure.
"Mobile Phone" has begun to be promoted on a large scale. Director Feng has created another masterpiece, reflecting on the real social problems, and it is all participated by talented actors.
"Mobile Phone" was promoted at the film school, and Lin Nan was also present. Mr. Fan is not a man yet, but he is very beautiful and is the type that mature men like.
Director Feng can be said to be Huayi's trump card, and he is also a person full of inspirational stories. If it weren't for his bad appearance, he would be the protagonist of the novel.
Looking at Director Feng chatting and laughing on the stage, Lin Nan suddenly thought of a line: It doesn’t matter if a man is old or ugly, the most important thing is that he is talented...
That makes sense.
The release date of "Mobile Phone" is December 18th, and Lin Nan will definitely not be in the mainland at that time.
The time is getting closer and closer, Shangying starts to ask questions, Lin Nan has to prepare.
Zhu Yawen was already packing her luggage and was still asking about the suit.
“We don’t have to worry about this. Shanghai Film Studio has prepared it. Tell them that the dress is the same.”
Lin Nan said something to Zhu Yawen.
On December 1, Lin Nan and four other people left the school dragging their suitcases, accompanied by a staff member from Shanghai Film Academy.
"Director Lin, the leaders will meet us there."
Lin Nan nodded, they flew over from the school, and Shanghai Film Academy started from their side.
After landing, I saw the person picking me up from the airport.
"Director Lin, Mr. Ren is here too." Someone said to Lin Nan.
This year's Golden Horse, except for Lin Nan, there are almost no mainland artists, and there are no major awards.
But many mainland companies have come. After all, Golden Horse is still the benchmark in the Chinese film industry.
The red carpet is on December 13th, and the awards ceremony is also on that day.
The hotel where several people stayed was with people from Shanghai Film Studio, and Lin Nan went to meet Mr. Ren.
The two met in the coffee shop on the second floor, and the other party also brought his secretary, a man.
"Hello, Mr. Ren." Lin Nan took the initiative to say hello. Others are big bosses, but he is a junior, so he is very polite.
"Director Lin, you are so young and have a formidable future. It is also your credit for being able to participate in the competition this time. Several major film studios have only our Shanghai Film Festival to participate in the competition." Mr. Ren was very happy when he said this. Not subtle.
Today’s policy favors commercial films, which are films that can sell at the box office.
Director Zhang has Zhang Weiping, and foreign film companies are optimistic about it. China Film Group is the leader, located in the Beijing circle. Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige are close to each other, and Huayi is also the core of the Beijing circle.
There are not many directors who can make money, and almost all have regular partners.
"Does Director Lin have any plans for a new play?" Mr. Ren asked and took a sip of coffee.
A lot of thoughts flashed through Lin Nan's mind instantly, "We plan to prepare a new film in the first half of next year."
"Oh, do you have a plan? What type of it is it?" Mr. Ren asked, a look on his face His smile gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
"There is no script yet, but it should still be a commercial film." Lin Nan could only say so much. The person in front of him was his financial backer after all. "Okay, commercial films are good. The above are encouraging commercial films. When the budget comes out, let me know and I will make up for it by any amount."
Mr. Ren is very generous and generous, patting his chest.
The tropical fruits here are very cheap. Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen have been eating them in different ways these days.
At noon on the 13th, Lin Nan had already changed into a black suit, provided by Shanghai Film Studio. Zhu Yawen chose a blue one, which was very cool.
Both ladies are in standard evening wear. In a few hours, the red carpet will begin.
As the representative of the producer Shangying, Mr. Ren is very well-dressed, wearing a Chinese tunic suit.
At three o'clock, Lin Nan and Mr. Ren were in a car, and Zhu Yawen and the others were behind.
In the Municipal Art Center, there were already huge crowds of people on both sides. Lin Nan got off the car and saw Li Yang coming.
"Director Li." Lin Nan took the initiative to hug.
The latter continued to greet Mr. Ren.
In addition to fans on both sides, there are also many reporters, both Chinese and foreign.
Lin Nan needs to walk the red carpet twice. According to the order, "Blind Well" comes after "Warm and Containing Light" because it has the blessing of a silver bear.
Later there were more and more vehicles, and many drove away.
Lin Nan saw those people in Hong Kong. Liu Liang and Liu Liang were the contenders for the Best Actor Award tonight. "Infernal Affairs" was too strong, and Simon Yam and Wu Yan couldn't beat it.
The major awards were all taken away by "Infernal Affairs".
...
"Coming down below are the crew of "Nuan Nuan Contains Light"..."
Lin Nan didn't hear what was said clearly, it was mixed with some accents.
He followed Mr. Ren’s footsteps, flanked by Zhu Yawen, Zhou Yang and Jiang Yiyan.
The two women were very excited because people around them were calling their names in the play.
"Director Lin, I heard that you became a film director and starring actor while still studying. The box office is so good, what do you think?"
The problem in this situation is always so straightforward.
“Fortunately, there are a lot of people like me in school.” Lin Nan didn’t say much and just brushed it off. He didn’t know what to say. The main reason is that Mr. Ren talks eloquently and is worthy of being a leader.
After entering the venue, he was taken to a seat in the back of the middle and sat down. Lin Nan was wondering if he and others would have to sit in the corner of the back without Mr. Ren.
Lin Nan turned back, and Director Li Yang was still waiting for him.
When Li Yang walked onto the red carpet again, even the host was stunned for a moment.
"I am still one of the starring actors in this drama."
Lin Nan said, and Li Yang added, "I am also one of the investors."
Yin Xiong The director is just different. The words of these people who flatter and disdain others sound nice.
The hosts of the award ceremony are half a man and half a woman. The woman is from Hong Kong Island.
It can be said that this year’s Golden Horse will be contracted by Hong Kong films.
For Best Drama, "The Blind Shaft" lost to "Infernal Affairs", Best Director, Best Actor, Actor, and Supporting Actor are all from Hong Kong films.
"Warmth and Light" won the best original screenplay, was nominated for the award, and had no interruptions.
Lin Nan was not embarrassed when he went on stage to accept the award. He came down after giving a standard acceptance speech.
Mr. Ren took the trophy from Lin Nan, looked at it and returned it to Lin Nan, "Keep up the good work in the future."
Several people took turns, and Lin Nan sat next to Li Yang.
"Best Cross-Media Adapted Screenplay Award, Li Yang."
Li Yang stood up happily, hugged Lin Nan, then went up, and the spotlight flashed over.
"Best New Actor Award, Lin Nan for "The Blind Shaft"."
At this moment, Lin Nan only had one sentence in her heart, "Here we come."
"I won two awards after participating in the film festival for the first time. Does Director Lin Nan have any comments?"
"Thank you, Brother Li Yang, for giving me this role and bringing me into the industry. Thank you, Mr. Ren, for investing in me and filming "Warm and Bright". I will continue to work hard, thank you."
Although they are not the most important awards, Lin Nan is very satisfied with two of them.
"What a boy, you praise me so much." Li Yang gave Lin Nan a slap. He could tell that Lin Nan's words just now were true to his heart.
“It’s a pity that I won’t be able to film in the mainland within five years.”
Lin Nan nodded and said nothing.
The fiercest competition for several awards has begun here. Best plot and best director were all given to "Infernal Affairs". The battle for the best actor is also an internal battle within "Infernal Affairs". Andy Lau He lost to Liang Chaowei by one vote.
Time will tell whether a person's butt is crooked or not.
"For the news in the Mainland at the moment, we are probably drafting the title." Mr. Ren said, "Warm and Bright" won an award. No matter which award it is, it is important to Shanghai Film. to his credit.
You are right, emerging portals have already had big headlines.
"Lin Nan won the Best New Actor Award and the Best Original Screenplay Award."
"The 02-level Director Department of the Film Academy, Director Lin Nan won the 40th Golden Horse..."
...
At the end of the award ceremony, Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen moved a few places, rushed to King Liu, asked for his autograph, and asked someone from Shanghai Film Studio to help take a group photo.
"Director Xiaolin, please remember to work with me if you have the opportunity. The remuneration can be negotiated." Although Liu Tianwang has a hooked nose, he is not an ordinary person.
"You're welcome."
I was quite nervous when I saw that I was the recommended person.
Please vote for recommendations, thank you, thank you!
