"In the past, when I went there, the willows lingered; now when I come to think about it, the rain and snow are falling..."
"It doesn't snow very often in Hong Kong, and even if it rained today, it didn't rain."
It was Fang Yi who was feeling emotional, and Liu Mi who was talking. After arriving in Hong Kong, the entire crew of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was split into two halves, with Fang Yi leading the mainland group and the eldest brother Cheng leading the family group. In addition to some necessary publicity activities
, the two sides will meet victoriously at the Hong Kong Cultural Center.
The Hong Kong Cultural Center is the venue for the Hong Kong Film Awards. It is often used to hold large-scale art activities for the public. The entire venue is very exquisitely designed. The streamlined shapes of the concert hall inside and outside the venue are all made of the more advanced technology at the time.
The construction technology is indeed a "cultural center" to some extent as its name suggests.
Just before the Academy Awards in March, there was a grand symphony orchestra performance in the venue. In the 2,085-seat concert hall, many citizens quietly listened to the sweet music. The media described it as "engaged and intoxicated."
"The soul crawls under the sound of music"... The conductor waved his baton, causing all kinds of music performers and even the audience to rise and fall with his mood.
This venue is the cultural center of Hong Kong, and at that moment the conductor is the center of the center.
——Now Fang Yi is about to become a "conductor". This is not a title made by Fang Yi himself, but is promoted by the Hong Kong media.
His profile picture was moved to the center, and those around him who were paying attention to his instructions were all kinds of familiar superstars. The most famous eldest brother, Cheng, occupied the position of the piano, the king of musical instruments. The one who played the violin was the host of this awards ceremony.
Zeng Zhiwei... is like the award ceremony at the University of Nottingham, becoming a person's coronation ceremony.
Praise and kill!
No, it may be the truth to gain traffic.
The Hong Kong media is like this, the crazy ones are soaring to the sky, while the frustrated ones are trampled into the dirt.
The publicity before the "Zodiac" awards ceremony has been low-key and ineffective. No matter how much the creators emphasize calmness, more exaggerated flattery can be seen on the news stations every day.
Fortunately, the backbone, Fang Yi, was in a good mood and didn't miss anything.
Liu Mi was very excited, and continued the previous topic: "It won't snow in Hong Kong, unless it is an extreme situation... For example, you came back empty-handed this time and got nothing! Unless such an injustice happened, I
I just didn’t believe it would snow heavily here.”
Assistant director Guo Fan interjected: "Director Fang has been to Hong Kong before. What he wants to express is that things are different and people are different. The mentality now is different from when he came two or three years ago... Speaking of which, you have also been here before.
After developing in Hong Kong for a period of time, shouldn’t you have a similar feeling?”
Liu Mi glanced at Fang Yi quickly: "Don't mention the two years of my development~"
She patted her thigh in disgust and repeated: "Unlike you, who are more beautiful every time. The first time you came here, you stepped on the locals. How awesome!"
Liu Mi always speaks in a strange manner, giving people the impression of being poor.
Fang Yi said: "When you are participating in the program interview later, you must not say such things. If you are recorded, you will be finished, and our crew will be finished too."
Liu Mi had pointed ears and said immediately: "I know, I praise you and you become a great director. Who wouldn't want to like you now?"
Fang Yi looked back at her slightly seriously, and Liu Mi could only say obediently: "I understand."
——The show to be on is "The Sonorous Threesome".
This program is a taped broadcast, and it is estimated that by the time it is screened, it will already be known who will win the grand prize, so it is easy to talk about slightly out-of-the-ordinary topics, because your program performance will not have a substantial impact on the awards at that time.
In 2007, Jiang Wen's film "The Sun Also Rises" was selected for the Venice Film Festival, and the chairman of the jury was Zhang Yimou.
The preference of the chairman of the jury has a profound impact on the awards. Jiang Wen boasted that he had never offended Zhang Yimou. When asked "What are his prospects for the Venice Film Festival awards?"
This means that whether you get the prize or not depends entirely on whether Lao Zhang gives it to you.
As soon as he said this, Lao Zhang certainly didn't dare to give it.
Liu Mi is a fast-talking person but not particularly smart. She may be led around to talk to her, and then she can say whatever she wants.
In fact, the program "The Sonorous Threesome" is very suitable as a talk show for the 32nd Academy Awards. It just fits the theme of the "Cold War" of this Academy Awards - two factions competing with each other, and the winner is about to be decided. This program
There are two recording venues, namely Beijing and Hong Kong. If you are a guest from the mainland, record in Beijing. If it is developed in Hong Kong, record in Hong Kong.
The host Dou Wentao lives in Pengcheng and goes to Hong Kong for work every day. In the beginning, there were many recordings in Hong Kong. At that time, even if mainland celebrities were in the capital, they would come to Hong Kong for a walk without any trouble at all.
It was the late 1990s and early 1990s.
The changes are obvious now. More and more people come to Beijing to record. On the contrary, celebrities from Hong Kong and Mainland China often choose to work in Beijing because the main battlefield of their careers has shifted to the mainland.
Dou Wentao also packed up his belongings and returned to the mainland to live permanently. He is from Hebei Province, and after working south for more than ten years, he was able to return to his hometown - this has something to do with his personal efforts, but it seems to have nothing to do with it.
Before the recording, the guests and the host had a brief exchange of greetings, and there was still a pre-statement: "We are recording and broadcasting the program. If it is inappropriate, if you ask, we will try our best to take care of your mood when editing, but don't say anything, and don't hold on.
That’s not in line with what a talk show should do – if you really want to say something big, we wouldn’t dare to let it go, right?”
When mentioning Liu Mi, Dou Wentao said: "Of course I know this one," he said with a thumbs up, "Now he is a big star, "Twelve Zodiac Signs", "Gong Lock Heart Jade", and... "God"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes"! The little Guo Xiang you played in it at that time, let me tell you, Hong Kong really liked the Guo Xiang you played."
He added: "It's a pity that Xiao Longnu didn't come. Our program today is expected to be broadcast in two episodes, because such a big celebrity came... If Xiao Longnu also came, it would really be three or four episodes.
I’m afraid we’ll never be able to put together such a big battle again!”
They also talked about Fang Yi's recent good news: "Director Fang, you are about to become a member of a certain association? Can you mention this on the show?"
Of course this won't work.
It is impossible for Fang Yi to talk about this.
"The Sonorous Threesome" has produced many tigers who dare to speak, such as Kong Qingxi, a professor at Beijing University, and Wang Shuo, a gangster and writer... Fang Yi is definitely not included among these tigers.
So Dou Wentao asked again: "There is another good news, which I also know. I feel that everyone knows it but doesn't tell it. How much can you reveal?"
Fang Yi: "What do you want to ask?"
"Is the marriage done?"
Fang Yi thought for two or three seconds, "I don't necessarily answer every sentence. Let's talk more about people instead of specific things."
Dou Wentao was overjoyed: "That's a success!"
Liu Mi's eyes widened with a complicated expression - she knew this from the beginning and believed it, but when she heard Fang Yi admit it in person, she was still shocked.
