As Zhao Baogang finished saying "finished," the entire crew cheered happily and clapped several times.
In a jubilant atmosphere, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also accepted a bouquet of flowers sent by Zhao Baogang.
"It's hard work." Zhao Baogang said enthusiastically. The filming of "Struggle" went so smoothly. Not to mention the excellent performances of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as the male and female protagonists, I only looked at the support of Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying, and then accelerated the filming process.
He was very satisfied.
"Director Zhao has worked hard." Chu Xuan replied, Liu Yifei smiled and nodded.
"You guys go back to the hotel and have a rest first. I'll watch them pack up their equipment before coming back to have the banquet in the evening." Zhao Baogang said to everyone.
"Okay." All the actors agreed.
After Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei went to the dressing room to change their clothes, the actors walked out of the set laughing and chatting and got into their cars.
With a "bang" sound, Liu Yifei closed the passenger door. The completion of the scene made her face look a little happy. She fastened her seat belt with both hands and said: "It was completed so quickly. It's so easy."
Chu Xuan fastened his seat belt, plugged in the car key and started the car, saying: "Urban dramas, we had predicted before filming that it would be easy."
Liu Yifei raised her forehead slightly, tilted her head to look at him and said: "The most important thing is that the plots of the male and female protagonists are relatively similar to our own experiences. It is easy to get into the mood when acting, and it can be completed three or four times at most each time."
The plot of the male and female protagonists is similar to her and Chu Xuan's real-life situation. During the two months of filming, she faced many of her and Chu Xuan's scenes in the most authentic state based on her true inner feelings.
Seeing his mother-in-law acting like a child, Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Auntie, was it me who drank or you?"
"Hope" won the most authoritative award in China, and "Struggle" has also been completed. For Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, today is a double blessing.
"Say it." Zhao Baogang nodded: "I don't know what the situation is like on your "Zhu Xian" side. "Struggle" can handle the post-production in up to three months, including review, finalization and pre-broadcast publicity.
Five months at most.”
"This year's Best Visual Effects Award..."Hope"!"
Under the illumination of the street lamp, her and Chu Xuan's figures stretched long on the ground, and the hands held by the two figures were still shaking, looking very comfortable and beautiful.
"The Promise" is Chen Kaige's movie, "The Myth" is his movie, and Chen Kaige and he are both shareholders of Brilliant Era, "Hope" is a micro-movie of Brilliant Era, and Wen Muye is a new director of Brilliant Era Film and Television.
On this occasion, Liu Yifei absolutely couldn't let Chu Xuan drink too much, so she winked at her friends, especially Huang Xuan and Chen He, who received Liu Yifei's eyes.
But judging from the official status of the three major organizers, this award is the most authoritative, professional and fair Chinese film award in the hearts of the general public. It is also the government award in the Chinese film industry.
Under warm applause, Wen Muye handed the trophy to Kong Sheng, then walked onto the stage with a smile on his face and a hint of excitement.
--Shangri-La hotel.
The other teachers and friends raised their glasses and said congratulations. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei said their thanks, and everyone drank a small glass of wine together.
Whenever Chu Xuan peeled peanuts at a banquet, Liu Yifei always wanted to "rob him halfway".
The lights were on in the small villa. It was obvious that Liu Xiaoli had not slept yet, so she naturally wanted to say hello to her elders when she came back.
The films shortlisted for this award include: "The Promise", "Myth", "The Great Sage" and "Hope".
"Goodbye."
Zhao Baogang also heard their conversation, raised his glass and said, "Congratulations on this. Although it is a short film, it is also a rare achievement."
The audience burst into applause, and Wen Muye stood up with a smile. Under the eyes of Kong Sheng, Li Xue and everyone present, Wen Muye went on stage to receive the award.
Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's arm and the two left.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei paused again and turned around.
But if "Struggle" is broadcast first, with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei on board, and if their popularity makes Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying popular, and then "Zhu Xian" is broadcast, then the situation will be completely different.
Liu Yifei also had a little excitement on her face. When Su Chang saw the two of them, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's wrong with you? Is there something good going on?"
Chu Xuan ate a handful of peanuts, thought for a while and said, "It's almost the end of the year for "Zhu Xian"."
"Wow! That's awesome!" Su Chang exclaimed.
I heard that Chu Xuan came up with this idea. He is worthy of being a boss at a young age. He has such a flexible mind.
"At the end of the year..." Zhao Baogang paused, nodded and said: ""Struggle" is almost done. Then we will negotiate with the TV station for a schedule."
but……
At the same time, an awards ceremony was being held on the other side of the capital.
After thinking about it, he understood that if "Zhu Xian" was broadcast first, then Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying would be complete newcomers, including Jiang Xin, whose popularity was not high. This situation might have an impact on the ratings of "Zhu Xian".
After delivering his speech and returning to his seat, Wen Muye suppressed his excitement and couldn't help but pick up his phone and send two text messages to share the good news with his senior brothers and sisters.
Liu Xiaoli did not answer Chu Xuan's question. She kept her raised fist in a rock-paper-scissors state.
Liu Xiaoli picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. She nodded and put down the remote control.
But judging from the text message sent by Fumino, "Hope" has achieved outstanding results, which is good news.
This was originally a confidential issue, but facing Chu Xuan, the boss of this glorious era, Zhao Baogang said without hesitation: "Six million."
But today they were a little more interested, and they also had some speculations in their minds. The existence of "Hope" made them think that this award would fall on it.
Chu Xuan couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. He knew that his mother-in-law was acting like a monster again.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and a group of leading actors and actresses sat at the head table with Zhao Baogang, waiting for the banquet to begin.
However, although "Fairy Sword" and "The Condor" allowed her to fully develop her acting skills, compared to Zhao Ling'er and Xiao Longnu, two completely fantasy characters, Charlene in "Struggle" brought her a sense of reality.
Zhao Ling'er and Xiao Longnu can't compare.
Chu Xuan has a habit of peeling a handful of peanuts and eating them in one bite, unlike others.
Chu Xuan nodded slowly, and Liu Yifei snatched the peeled peanuts from Chu Xuan's hand to eat.
"Rock scissors..." Chu Xuan shouted, and he and Liu Xiaoli waved their hands at the same time.
"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded.
As the first original film produced by him and Liu Yifei, even if it is just a short film, this is something to be proud of.
He is just a junior student, and he has been on the podium three times in two months. Moreover, this award today is the most authoritative award in the country. This honor should be unmatched by anyone in the director circle of the same age, right?
Chu Xuan looked at her and said: ""I Am an Actor" will soon launch the investment conference and the national registration stage. After registration, the recording will begin. There should be one month left. Counting the two or three months of recording the variety show, we
We should be able to use the free time of these few months to learn about investment together. It should be almost done. What do you think of this arrangement?"
"Hey!" Liu Yifei couldn't help but speak, she said angrily: "Have you ever considered my feelings? My freedom is determined by rock, paper, scissors?"
"Goodbye."
"Director Chen, we all lost." Tang Jili said to Chen Kaige next to him with a smile on his face.
Walking into the small villa, Liu Xiaoli was watching TV. When she saw the two children came back and didn't look like they had drunk much, she also put down her heart, sat on the sofa, stretched lazily, yawned and said:
"Wash and sleep."
"It's your first time filming an urban drama. How do you feel compared to the previous ones?" he asked with a smile.
Wang Jinhua mentioned this to him a few months ago, saying that he wanted "Zhu Xian" to succeed "Struggle" in the broadcast schedule.
This does not seem to belong to the category of acting. This is the attitude she should have in real life. It is not a performance, but a natural state.
And compared to the fantasy Zhao Ling'er and Xiao Longnv, by playing the role of Xia Lin, she has a clearer way of getting along with Chu Xuan who rely on each other, and she has also become more determined and strengthened the career path of mutual success with Chu Xuan.
This also strengthened her and Chu Xuan's determination to pursue their common dream.
"Director Zhao, how much did the funds cost?" Chu Xuan peeled peanuts in his hand and asked Zhao Baogang next to him.
"The acting skills have not improved as much as the previous dramas, but the very realistic emotions of the urban drama are more real than the previous dramas, and can be better integrated into real life for experience and reflection," she replied.
When he won the trophy again, he once thought that his path would be broadened by following the footsteps of his senior brothers and sisters.
Liu Yifei blinked: ""Hope" won the Huabiao Award for Best Short Film."
After stopping the car steadily in the parking lot, the two thanked the crew and sent them away. After closing the door, they walked towards the small villa.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are the producers of "Zhu Xian", and he is the producer of "Struggle". Putting aside Chu Xuan's identity as the boss, judging from the positions of the two dramas, the identities of both parties are equal.
The finalization of the drama is naturally a matter of negotiation between the two of them.
Since its establishment in 1994, it has been known as the three biggest film awards in China along with the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award.
But except for some actors and directors and teachers who had interacted with each other, the crew members were obviously not very embarrassed about Liu Yifei, a girl, so Chu Xuan became the focus of the toast between the two.
Hearing this, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stopped. Chu Xuan said: "Auntie, let's go back and rest."
In a small hall, nearly twenty tables were gradually filled with people.
"Director Zhao, I don't know if Sister Hua told you that "Struggle" will be broadcast first, "Zhu Xian" will follow closely, and the schedules of the two dramas must be coordinated." Liu Yifei said that this was also her and Chu Xuan's plan.
The two of them gradually became more interested in eating and drinking with everyone, until at ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Yifei saw Chu Xuan's slightly tipsy state and knew that Chu Xuan could not drink any more, so she stood up and said goodbye to Chu Xuan.
Huang Xuan and Chen He knew what to do, and for a while they became the ones who blocked Chu Xuan's drinking.
Liu Yifei looked at her mother with a happy face.
"It's finished, and the next thing is the variety show. We have to go to Star City in advance before the Golden Eagle Art Festival next month." Liu Yifei said about the upcoming itinerary.
The two people reached an agreement on the next arrangements.
But when she stood up and looked at the backs of the two children walking out, she playfully said, "Sissi, can you sleep in your room today?"
Chu Xuan took a small wine glass with only one coin, clinked it with Zhao Baogang and finished the drink.
Sure enough, if you follow your senior brother and sister, you will find a broad road ahead.
After filming "Struggle" for two months, she can feel that her acting skills have improved, but compared to "Sword of Immortality" and "The Condor", it has not improved much.
"This year's Best Short Story Award..."Hope"!"
The nearly twenty tables in the small hall seemed to be less crowded, but it was also lively, and people at each table were chatting with each other.
In the following awards, "Hope" once again won the short film award.
"Huabiao Award?" Jiang Xin raised her eyebrows and was slightly surprised: "This is awesome."
Even though "Struggle" doesn't have a plot that explodes with strong emotions like "The Sword" and "The Condor", the realism brought to her by the role of Charlene is even more interesting after the filming is finished.
Seeing that the two children were amused, Liu Xiaoli became more interested. She waved her fist and said to Chu Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, rock, paper, scissors, if you win, Sissi will sleep over there with you. If I win, Sissi will sleep in my room."
sleep."
"There is also investment." Chu Xuan added.
This is her biggest gain from filming "Struggle", and it is also a new experience that she has never had in all her previous works.
Hearing Chu Xuan ask this question, Liu Yifei thought for a while and said "Hmm--".
But with the emergence of science fiction movies like "Hope", at this stage, the visual effects of any type of movie are pale in comparison with science fiction movies.
As they drank and drank, the laughter and laughter continued, and the jubilant atmosphere of the final ceremony was evident.
——Beijing International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Chu Xuan nodded, released the handbrake, put the car into gear, and drove towards the main road.
The Huabiao Film Award is a film award jointly sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the State Film Administration.
In the past, visual effects awards were basically given to costume movies and action movies with stunts. Only these two types of movies can make the audience experience unique visual effects.
Chu Xuan found it very interesting. Liu Yifei was very naughty and mischievous when acting as a demon. This was indeed hereditary.
Liu Yifei nodded: "Okay, Sister Hua said, recording variety shows is just for fun. After playing, come back and study. It's a good balance between work and rest."
Liu Yifei couldn't laugh or cry, covering her mouth with joy.
"Mom is scared to be alone in the villa." Liu Xiaoli looked pitiful.
"Hope" won this award, which is a result without any suspense.
The waiter handed Zhao Baogang a microphone, and Zhao Baogang said "Hey" twice. When the scene gradually became quiet, Zhao Baogang stood up and said some words of thanks, and the closing banquet officially began.
The crews of urban dramas are incomparable to the crews of costume dramas. Compared to the huge crew of thousands when Zhang Jizhong was there, the more than 100 people in the "Struggle" crew seemed a bit petty.
Usually celebrities don't care about this award, it is considered a small award behind the scenes.
Mother-in-law is cloth, Chu Xuan is scissors.
After hearing what Zhao Baogang said, Liu Yifei also made some calculations in her mind.
--Shangri-La hotel.
"'Hope' is worth it," Chen Kaige said casually.
Chu Xuan looked down at the text messages on her phone and said with satisfaction: "Okay, two prizes."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, as the male and female protagonists, and also have identities in the capital circle, received enthusiastic attention together with Zhao Baogang.
These multiple connections make this award very interesting.
Bright Times invested 8 million yuan for 50% of the shares, and the advertising sponsorship of 11 million yuan only paid back 5.5 million yuan. Under such circumstances, just think about it and you will know that "Struggle" will definitely make a lot of money after it is made into a film and sold to a TV station.
The crew drove the two of them back to the villa in Chu Xuan's car.
The Huabiao Awards coincided with the filming of "Struggle", and he didn't know exactly when the filming would be completed. Without knowing whether he could go to the Huabiao Awards, Liu Xiaoli helped him and Liu Yifei decline the invitation from the Huabiao Awards External Relations Department.
, which also prevented him and Liu Yifei from going to the Huabiao Awards today.
The total investment in "Struggle" is 18 million, with a salary of 7 million and a shooting budget of 6 million. That leaves 5 million. For the post-production of an urban drama, 5 million is completely sufficient, and there will even be a lot of surplus.
At this time, the stars in the exhibition hall were shining brightly, all waiting for the upcoming announcement of this year’s Best Visual Effects Award.
"Auntie, this is God's will. Your daughter belongs to me." Chu Xuan spread his hands.
The reason why people present were a little interested is because "Hope" is just a short film. If a short film can beat these shortlisted conventional films, and they are all films by big directors, this has never happened.
Once it becomes a reality, it will be quite interesting.
But there is no need to compare. An urban drama can have more than a hundred crew members, which is already a lot. For an urban drama, the composition of the service team and the logistics team is far less complicated than that of a costume drama.
He put down the small wine glass, and Liu Yifei came over: "Look at it."
Liu Yifei crossed her arms and said arrogantly: "It's cool outside today. At worst, I will sleep on the lawn outside tonight. I won't go to either side. Lying on the lawn, I can still watch the stars with the natural wind."
Looking at the stars with the natural wind blowing?... As soon as these words came out, coupled with Liu Yifei's arrogant face, Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli burst into laughter.
"Sleep!" Liu Xiaoli waved her hand. Originally she just wanted to tease the two children, but she didn't expect to make herself happy.
The family of three had a warm and harmonious fun, and each fell asleep late at night.
