Chapter 805 The first Golden Rooster Best Actor
The red carpet ended and the guests entered the venue one after another.
Under the guidance of the staff, Gu Wei also arrived at the location with his name tag.
His seat is in the middle of the first row. On the left is Liu Dehua, and on the right is Wen Muye who is coming with him. On the other side of Liu Dehua is Chen Daoming. On the other side of Chen Daoming is Yongmei, one of the judges of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.
And beside Wen Muye here are Xiao Yang and Tan Zhuo.
These two were nominated for today's Best Actor and Best Actress respectively for "Manslaughter".
Zhang Zifeng, Zhou Ming, and the rest of the two crews of "Young You" and "Zhou Chu Eliminate Three Evils" are basically behind Gu Wei and Wen Muye.
Gu Wei and Wen Mu also said hello to Chen Daoming first, and then shook hands with Liu Dehua respectively after being introduced by the other party.
Gu Wei was fine, and Wen Mu was also very excited.
Although he has acted in many bad movies over the years, Andy Lau's influence in domestic entertainment is really great.
The "Asian Rising Star Director" program he once funded has helped many emerging directors, the most famous of which is Ning Hao.
After investing money into the other party to make "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao became an instant success and became a hot and talented director.
Liu Dehua holds a very important position in the hearts of many new-generation directors. As far as Gu Wei knows, Guo Fan, Rao Xiaozhi, and Wen Mu also like him very much.
"I like your movies very much, especially "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", the story is amazing.
It’s hard to imagine that this style was produced by a mainland company and director.
How did the director come up with the idea of filming such a crime-themed movie set in Bay Area? ”
After Liu Dehua finished speaking, Wen Mu also waved his hand.
"The script was given by our Mr. Gu. I was very surprised when I saw this script. I felt that both the style and content were very different from previous crime movies.
In fact, I don’t do much as a director, I just film the contents according to the script”
Seeing Liu Dehua looking over, Gu Wei explained: "It was first because I read the news about the wanted criminal "Liu Huanrong" and thought that his life story would be interesting if made into a movie.
Later, I unexpectedly learned that Qian Renhao had written a script called "Lawless" based on "Liu Huanrong", so I asked someone to buy it.
Based on this script, I adapted some things and it is now [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils]"
"Qian Renhao, I know this person. The director from Wanwan is not particularly famous. I didn't expect him to write such an excellent script."
Gu Wei smiled: "Director Qian knew that I wanted to do this project and proposed to direct it myself, but I didn't agree.
Although he originally wrote the script, I don’t know his directing skills and I’m not at ease.”
Liu Dehua nodded: "It turns out that Mr. Gu and the literary director presented this story very well. I think it is one of the few excellent movies in recent years!"
"Thank you~" Gu Wei and Wen Mu also said modestly.
Liu Dehua looked up at Gu Wei and sighed: "Mr. Gu is too young. When I look at you, a word comes to my mind: "The waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
I feel like I’m really old”
"Brother Hua is the eternal male god in the hearts of the audience, a superstar who has been popular for decades!"
Liu Dehua smiled and waved his hands: "Only old people are praised as "ageless male gods." Brother Cheng Long is already old, let alone me. No one can resist the power of time.
It's just a pity that we don't have the opportunity to work together.
I have basically seen your film works in the past few years, including "Operation Mekong", "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Wandering Earth" and now "The Three Pests", and I like them all.
I have long been thinking about when I would have the opportunity to work with you, Gu Wei.”
Gu Wei looked at Liu Dehua's sincere expression and thought for a while.
He had not had much contact with Liu Dehua before, but he also knew that his character and professionalism were rare in domestic entertainment.
Among Mesozoic actors, Huang Xiaoming is actually very similar to Andy Lau. They are both good-natured people with extremely high emotional intelligence.
Both of them are top stars, both have won the title of Best Actor, and they are exactly the same in terms of making bad movies.
"Actually, it's not difficult to cooperate. Do you mind playing the villain, Brother Hua?"
"Of course I don't mind this. I filmed [The Disciple] and [Infernal Affairs] more than ten years ago, and I played the villain.
In fact, I don’t care about the villain right now. As long as the script is good, it’s OK. Unfortunately, there are very few scripts asking me to play the villain.”
Gu Wei smiled: "Brother Hua, if you have seen my film "Detective Chinatown", you should know that there is a Q in it.
According to my setting, Q is not the name of a certain person but an evil organization.
In the future release of "Tang Detective 3", the Q organization will reveal the tip of the iceberg.
If Brother Hua is interested, he can play a member of the villain Q in [Tang Detective 4]."
Gu Wei's version of "Tang Detective 3" has been greatly changed. It does not have the Easter egg scene of the original Andy Lau. However, if the other party is willing, he can be asked to play Q, the future villain of the "Tang Detective" series.
Liu Dehua was very interested in what Gu Wei said. He had also watched the first two parts of "Tang Detective" and knew that this series is one of the top IPs in domestic entertainment today.
There wasn’t even one before [Wolf Warrior 2] and [Wandering Earth] became popular.
Now everyone is looking forward to the release of the third film. Many people believe that "Tang Detective 3" is the most likely movie to surpass "The Wandering Earth" and catch up with "Wolf Warrior 2" with a box office of 6 billion.
"Is there a script?"
Gu Wei shook his head: "Not yet, after all, the third part has not been released yet. At present, I only have a general story framework in mind. I have to wait until [Tang Detective 3] is released before starting to prepare the script for the fourth part."
< br>
"Okay, I agreed. I want to join such a good series of movies.
I remember that Xiao Yang was not really a decent person in the second part."
Gu Wei smiled and nodded: "Yes, I imagine that "Song Yi" played by Xiao Yang will also be a member of the Q organization."
"You have to write my role better, otherwise I will regret it if I am not satisfied with the script when I get it." Liu Dehua expressed his inner thoughts in a joking tone.
He wanted to cooperate with Gu Wei, but he couldn't accept it if he really wanted to play a soy sauce role.
"You can rest assured about this. The real villains in the [Tang Detective] series are all criminals with high IQs.
For example, "Sinuo" in the first part and "Song Yi" in the second part.
I plan to arrange for you a high-IQ criminal similar to [Dark War].
Only when both the pros and cons are strong will the story be exciting! ”
Liu Dehua's eyes lit up after hearing Gu Wei's words. "Dark War" can be said to be a landmark movie in his acting career.
At that time, he relied on this movie to reverse the impression in the audience's mind, letting everyone know that Andy Lau could also act, and he won the first actor award in his life.
It just so happened that he also played a highly intelligent criminal in the movie, and had a wonderful scene opposite the policeman played by Liu Qingyun.
"I'm looking forward to it"
All the guests were seated and the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony began soon.
This Golden Rooster Award is actually a small year for awards.
In previous years, it was held every two years, bringing together all the outstanding domestic works in the past two years.
This year is the first one after the revision. It is only one year since last year’s Golden Rooster Awards, and there are still more than half a year in between because no movies were released due to YIqing. This leaves the Golden Rooster Awards with far fewer options, and most of the awards are in competition. Not intense either.
Take the Best Actor Award for example, Gu Wei [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils], Dong Chengpeng [Beneficiary] Xiao Yang [Manslaughter], Wu Yuhan [Half Comedy], Huang Xiaoming [Fire Hero].
"The Beneficiary" and "Half Comedy" are pure sidekicks. The two movies are not very popular and have average reputation. Although Da Peng's performance is good, it is not as big as Liu Yan, who plays the heroine.
Huang Xiaoming's "Hero of Fire" can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and he has already won the Golden Rooster Award once before with "Chinese Partner". For the second time, "Hero of Fire" is not convincing enough. Gu Weihe's "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" and Xiao Yang's "Manslaughter" are regarded as favorites for this year's Golden Rooster Award.
Both of them performed impeccably in the movie, especially Gu Wei. The role of "Chen Guilin" almost subverted his previous impression on the audience and made everyone get to know him again.
At the beginning of the award ceremony, Liu Haocun, who had just chatted with Gu Wei, took the stage to sing the song "One Second" as the opening performance.
"Is this another Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi?"
Now that "One Second" is being released, Liu Dehua has obviously heard of Liu Haocun's new "Mou Girl" name.
"Maybe. Director Zhang has always had a good eye. I have worked with Hao Cun on a movie, and the girl does have some talent." Gu Wei looked at "Cun Huang" who had changed into a black dress on the stage and said with a smile.
After a song ended, the three hosts Shen Teng, Deng Chao and Lan Yu walked onto the stage accompanied by singing.
Two men lined up on the left and Lan Yu stood in the middle. Although they were both wearing formal suits, seeing Shen Teng and Deng Chao in the same frame made people smile unconsciously.
The first award at the ceremony was for the Best Supporting Actor. The nominees included Yin Xiaotian [Heroes of Fire], Zhang Yi [The Climber], Ou Hao [Captain of China], and Huang Jue [Young You].
Gu Wei thought that Zhang Yi should definitely win the award. After all, he won the Best Supporting Actor for "The Climber" at the Hundred Flowers Awards a few months ago.
Unexpectedly, the result was somewhat beyond his expectation. The jury awarded the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor to Yin Xiaotian from [Heroes of Fire].
Yin Xiaotian is a pity actor.
He graduated from Chinese Opera with a professional background.
In 2002, he became famous for starring in the Haiyan drama "What can I do to save you, my love" directed by Zhao Baogang.
In 2003, he was named by the media as one of the "Mainland's New Four Young Students", and his reputation was no less famous than Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao.
If everything goes well, he will grow into a top male star in domestic entertainment, similar to Huang and Deng now.
Unfortunately, the "Sword Sword Cult Incident" occurred that year, which affected Yin Xiaotian's career and entered an unprecedented low.
Even though his innocence was later proven, his career never improved.
From the "four big and small students" who were as famous as Huang Xiaoming in those days, he gradually became a third- and fourth-tier star.
Now more than ten years have passed, and Yin Xiaotian's winning of the Golden Rooster Award can be regarded as a success.
".Thank you to the judges, Mr. Yu Dong, the producer of [Heroes of Fire], Mr. Chen Guohui, the director, and Mr. Liu Weiqiang, the producer.
Let me tell you a very interesting thing. My first movie was in 1999. I had just graduated from college. "Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City" directed by Liu Weiqiang, starring Mr. Andy Lau who was sitting below, and we had a scene opposite each other.
At that time, I only had one line in that movie, and after I finished speaking, I was slapped to death by Mr. Andy Lau. It was my first movie, and I was 21 years old at the time. ”
Yin Xiaotian was very excited after receiving the award on stage. His sincere emotions were revealed when he said these words. Liu Dehua, who was beside Gu Wei, looked at the stage and smiled and applauded.
"Today I am 42 years old and won the Golden Rooster Award. This is my second 21-year-old.
I want to say, if Xiaotian can do it, you really can!
I hope that everyone in the film industry here can ask me to make movies in the future. Xiaotian will never let you down! ”
The 42-year-old Yin Xiaotian was so happy on the stage that he even started singing and dancing excitedly later on.
Everyone also understands his happiness. This may be his release after so many years. After all, not everyone can have such a roller coaster experience in the entertainment industry.
After the Best Supporting Actor award came the Best Supporting Actress award. At this time, Zhou Ming, who was sitting behind Gu Wei, became nervous.
It's a pity that Yuan Quan, who is still the "Chinese Captain", won this award. This is the same as the Hundred Flowers Award.
Some more awards were awarded one after another, and the Golden Rooster Award entered the second half. Liu Dehua said hello to Gu Wei and was about to get up and leave. He was the guest of honor for the Best Actor award.
"Brother Hua, no matter who is in the lottery envelope that the program team will give you later, just read my name. When the ceremony is over, I will treat you to dinner." Gu Wei joked.
"Then it's settled." Hua Zai also smiled and cooperated with him.
Then the Best Debut Director Award was awarded to the director of "The Beneficiary", and then Xi Meijuan and Liu Dehua took to the stage amid Lan Yu and Shen Teng's lyrics.
After the two introduced themselves, the big screen began to scroll movie clips of the five actors selected for Best Actor.
At the end of the screening, Liu Dehua said with a smile: "Just before I went on stage, Gu Wei, who was sitting next to me, said to me: Brother Hua, no matter who you see in the lottery, read my name, I agreed."
When he said that, the whole audience laughed, and the camera also cut to Gu Wei's side.
Liu Dehua then said: "I always keep my word and I can't change my promise to Gu Wei!"
As he spoke, he paused: "Because he promised to cast me in a movie."
The whole audience burst into laughter again, and Gu Wei also gave Liu Dehua a thumbs up gesture.
He knew that this part was Liu Dehua's first, but he didn't expect that Hua Zai was quite humorous.
“So it’s better for Teacher Xi Meijuan to announce the results next”
After he said this, everyone was happy again.
Liu Dehua handed the envelope to Xi Meijuan next to him and said three jokes in one sentence, which brought the atmosphere in the venue to its highest level.
Xi Meijuan kept smiling as she watched Liu Dehua play tricks. She took the envelope without being polite, and after opening it, she announced directly: "The 33rd China Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor is awarded to Gu Wei, [Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils]! ”
As soon as the results were announced, there was thunderous applause.
Although Gu Wei was well prepared, he still couldn't suppress his excitement when he heard that he had won the award.
This is the first Golden Rooster Award he has won in his 9 years in the industry.
It is also the highest honor he has ever received in the film field.
He stood up and hugged Wen Mu next to him, as well as Zhang Zifeng, Zhou Ming and others in the back row, and shook hands with Chen Daoming and others next to him.
"Congratulations to Gu Wei, please come to the stage to receive the award.
Jury comment: In [Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils], Gu Wei successfully created an anti-heroic character with vivid and delicate acting skills"
Gu Wei walked onto the stage amid applause and cheers from the audience.
"Congratulations~"
After taking the stage, I hugged teachers Liu Dehua and Xi Meijuan respectively.
"Thank you, thank you Brother Hua, Teacher Meijuan~"
"I did what I promised you~" Liu Dehua said with a smile.
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
Taking the trophy and certificate from the two hands, Gu Wei stood in front of the microphone.
“I’m really, really happy to get this award today!
I graduated from Beijing Film Academy, and I knew what the Golden Rooster Award meant to an actor from the day I started school.
I was still a student at the time and hadn't even filmed any movies.
I think it would be great if one day I could win the Golden Rooster Award.
Now, nine years later, when I actually stood on this stage and received the trophy, I couldn't describe the joy I felt in words.
Thank you everyone, thank you to the jury for giving me this award, and thank you to everyone on the crew of [Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils]!
Thank you to all the audience friends who like me, it is you who support me till now!
I want to say that this is not the end, but a new beginning! ”
As he spoke, Gu Wei bowed deeply to the audience, then held up the Golden Rooster trophy, his eyes seemed to be shining with light!
