Chapter 389 Trivia
After the trip to Busan, Cheng Yuan returned to China.
"Now you won't even pick me up when I return to China." Cheng Yu'an complained to Liu Yifei when she returned home.
"It's only two hours from Busan to Beijing." After being together for a long time, Liu Yifei became more and more casual, "The Golden Rooster Awards sent you an invitation, will you go?"
Cheng Yu'an glanced at Liu Yifei and said nothing.
Liu Yifei explained: "I mean, after all, I sent you an invitation with good intentions. You have been arguing with the Golden Rooster Awards for almost ten years, just for the sake of the Best Newcomer? We are not stingy people, so we should accommodate ourselves."
.”
There are some things that you will be very concerned about when you are young, but later, as time goes by, you will let go of them.
This kind of relief is not forgiveness, it is forgetfulness.
Regarding the Golden Rooster Award, Cheng Yu'an had this "forget it" mentality.
Now that he has the golden lion, to be honest, he doesn't care whether he gives him the golden rooster or not.
What has evolved now is that Cheng Yu'an won the Golden Rooster Award to give the Golden Rooster Award face.
The Golden Rooster trophy will not add any luster to Cheng Yuan's resume.
Even, placed next to two Venice trophies and an Academy Award trophy (Best Original Screenplay), it seems a bit abrupt.
Cheng Yu'an said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I don't have a film shortlisted for this year's Golden Rooster Awards. My last film that was released in China was "The Martian" in 2009."
Cheng Yuan has a particularly deep memory of this Golden Rooster Award.
Best Feature Film: "Up".
Best Director: Chen Li's "Love on the Covered Bridge".
Best Screenplay: Chen Xiaoli's "Qingming".
Best Actor: Sun Chun, "Autumn Joy".
Best Actress: Na Renhua "Eji".
Best Supporting Actor: Xu Caigen "Reunion".
Best Supporting Actress: Guo Ge in "Shocking Sands".
These movies and these actors are unknown to most viewers.
"Eji" and "Sui Sui Qingming" were released in theaters within one week, and "Love in the Covered Bridge" was not released.
The Golden Rooster Award aims to let the audience know its "professionalism" through such selections.
Drawing a clear line between himself and the audience's tastes makes him stand out even more.
But it is this that makes the authority and credibility of the Golden Rooster Awards gradually decline.
If you don't pay attention to the audience, why should the audience look at you?
Liu Yifei thought about it and felt that this was also the case. With Cheng Yuan's current status, there was no need to win any awards in the country.
After reaching a certain level, you will cherish your feathers very much.
If you don't give me a reward, I won't come to carry your sedan chair.
Gong Li was fooled once by the Golden Horse Awards.
It’s okay to go, but at least one will be given for Best Director and Best Picture, otherwise Cheng Yu’an will definitely not go.
It's not enough to give other awards, it doesn't contain enough gold.
"You can attend as the producer of "Those Years"," Liu Yifei suggested.
Cheng Yu'an glared at her but still didn't say anything. Why is the little sister's brain so hard to work with sometimes?
"Okay, that's what I'm saying. Why don't you go if you don't go? Why are you glaring at me?"
Cheng Yuan is still best known to the outside world as a director. Even if he participates in activities as a producer, producer, and producer, others still call him Director Cheng.
Still the same problem, Director Cheng doesn't know how to carry a sedan chair.
But Liu Yifei will go, and "Those Years" was nominated for Best Actress.
Although she knew it was impossible to win the award, she still had to show up. She didn't have the arrogance of Cheng Yu'an to compete for the Golden Rooster Award for 10 years.
"I forgot to tell you." Liu Yifei said, ""Hunting" has been reviewed by the General Administration and will be released simultaneously with the United States in November."
The film "Hunting" would have never been released in China, but Cheng Yu'an won the Golden Lion Award with this film, and the situation was different.
This film will be released during the awards season in North America to see if it can compete for Oscars.
Even if it doesn't work, it will be easier to sell the box office if it gets a few nominations.
This year’s awards season is really bullshit.
It’s really hard to imagine that in 2011, there are still people making black and white silent films!
He really won an Oscar!
…………
Cheng Yu'an didn't have to watch the post-production of "Thieves" every day. The post-production team was very professional. Cheng Yu-an only needed to read the production report every three to five days and then look at the samples.
But that doesn't mean he has nothing to do.
He flew to Thailand today.
"Manslaughter" has started filming in Bangkok, Thailand.
This film company attaches great importance to the script. Cheng Yu'an wrote the script himself, and specially hired Mr. Cao Baoping to supervise the production. It used Qin Hailu, Xia Yu, Hui Yinghong, Zhang Fengyi and other all-star and best-actor lineups. It was Cheng Yu'an who filmed the film.
The starring cast is just to protect a new director Xin Yukun.
There has never been a newcomer film with an investment of more than 10 million, but the budget for "Manslaughter" was directly given to 30 million.
This shows how much Yuan Yuan attaches great importance to this movie and Xin Yukun.
Seven hours later, Cheng Yuan landed at Don Mueang Airport.
Thailand’s filming policy is very good.
There are basically no taboos, as long as you don't slander their royal family, you can do whatever you want.
But there is one thing. The Thai Film Bureau will send supervisors to the crew to supervise the filming, and they will take the script you have registered with the Film Bureau and compare it sentence by sentence.
Once he discovers any discrepancy, he has the right to stop filming on the spot.
Fortunately, the co-production company in Thailand is very capable, and there have been no problems since it was started half a month ago.
"Sawadika!" Cheng Yu'an also followed the local customs and greeted the Chinese on the crew with a smile using the only Thai he knew.
"Here we come." I don't know whether the makeup was deliberately put on to match the environment in Thailand, or whether it was done after being in Thailand for more than half a month. The faces of several leading actors were dark and yellow.
"Oh, you even found her." Cheng Yu'an actually met Zhang Zifeng on the set.
Unexpectedly, she played the role of An An, the youngest daughter of Li Weijie's family.
"Hello, Director Cheng." The 10-year-old girl, accompanied by her mother, greeted Cheng Yu'an.
"Hello." Unexpectedly, the joke he made during the premiere of "Tangshan Earthquake" - that he wanted to film with her, has now come true.
Xin Yukun paused the filming and came over and said, "This little girl is so smart. She doesn't need to be taught anything. She just needs a few words to understand."
"That's right, otherwise Feng Xiaogang wouldn't have chosen her." Cheng Yu'an said, "How about it, are you still used to filming in Thailand?"
"I'm not used to it." Xin Yukun said honestly, "In the first few days, I wasn't used to anything. Thai people are too rigid in doing things. They have to shoot according to the recorded shooting schedule. If there is any difference, the on-site supervisor will stop it.
"
"The on-site producer almost got into a fight with their people."
"It's okay, it's normal."
Supervision in Thailand is very overbearing, but with the coordination of the co-production company, the remote crew was also given a lot of latitude.
"Have you brought the things I asked you to bring?" Qin Hailu said.
"I brought it. It's in the bag."
What the crew is most uncomfortable with is eating Thai food. Even though the crew ordered the meals in Chinatown, Thailand, they are still different from those in China.
The crew ate it for a week before they couldn't stand it anymore.
Before Cheng Yu'an arrived, Qin Hailu clamored for Cheng Yu'an to bring her domestic chili sauce.
"Sawadika!" A waxy female voice greeted Cheng Yu'an. When Cheng Yu'an saw it, he didn't recognize this girl.
