The last time Fang Yi won the Best Director was at the 48th Golden Horse Awards. At that time, he won the Best Actor and Best Director consecutively. That moment was just like this moment.
After that, he went on the show to be interviewed, and some people began to define him as a double-gold director (Golden Rooster, Golden Horse); and many people have speculated that he will become a three-gold director, because when you complete the first two golds, you also
With so much time and resources, and you being so young, it’s hard not to want to make up for the remaining shortcomings.
However, more people believe that his third gold medal will not come from an Academy Award-winning director, but from the Best Actor Award.
——Because in the film industry, in this ecological chain, directors have a higher status than actors. In recent years, those who have acted and directed successfully almost without exception consider themselves directors and no longer define themselves as actors.
.
Winning the Academy Award for a director has a far greater shock to the industry than winning the Best Actor award - Jet Lee won the Academy Award for Best Actor with Pang Qingyun, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor, but his shock to industry insiders was far greater.
Far inferior to Fang Yi as a director.
This is foreseeable.
Fang Yi, who graduated from the Yangtze River Opera School, does not have a Hong Kong registered residence and has never submitted a certificate of registration.
There will be no adult beauty in the Academy Awards. The broken Cantonese he taught tonight was all improvised. He has never shown his admiration for Hong Kong. According to previous experience, he does not have the qualifications to make an exception for the Academy Awards.
potential……
But this moment came so quickly and suddenly.
Who would have thought that he wants them all.
Actually, I still have a question:
As we all know, "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is a project of the Hong Kong production company Emperor Entertainment. The director was the eldest brother Cheng at the beginning. After the eldest brother Cheng injured his tail vertebra during the pulley scene, Fang Yi began to take over the entire crew... To what extent did he play a role?
function?
Maybe it’s because the eldest brother has a good foundation?
The Best Director Award was not given to a double-yolked egg. People listened carefully and did not hear the words "Big Brother Cheng" from the three people. It seemed that Big Brother Cheng himself was no exception.
Fang Yi is the only one to win the award, why is it him?
"Zodiac" is nominally a double director.
The answer to this question is the award soundtrack and short film.
——"He may be the biggest surprise. He is energetic, courageous, and has the right talent. If you ask me how to evaluate him... I think hugo will be the kind of person you are willing to follow."
Chen Xunqi, the assistant director of "Zodiac" said to the camera.
This is a temporary interview taken from the behind-the-scenes footage. The next shot is from Big Brother himself:
"Fang Yi is not a big talker. He likes to be ahead of others. He will convince you in every aspect. Do you know that?" The eldest brother Cheng pointed at his eyes and turned his two fingers to the opposite side, as if talking through the air.
, "I started out as a martial artist... During our filming process, there were many dangerous moves, and there were also many talented martial artists. They all worked hard, but some of them were disabled immediately, which was bad luck.
, We all understand, and we can’t explain clearly, but some people can’t eat this meal..."
The eldest brother, Cheng, kept talking with a smile on his face, "We will give such people a large amount of money and tell them that you can't do this... But some people can repeatedly do dangerous actions, no matter how injured they are.
If you can get up and do it again, OK, we will know that you are someone who can do this!"
When "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was first launched the year before last, eldest brother Cheng predicted that this would be his "last big action movie", so while he was filming the movie, a film crew followed him from beginning to end, without any problems.
Everything was filmed, big and small, and eventually edited into a documentary.
Just like when basketball superstar Michael Jordan won his sixth championship, for eldest brother Cheng, this may be his "last dance."
However, in this documentary in which the eldest brother is the absolute protagonist, the chief director of The Last Dance is Fang Yi, who has repeatedly solved troubles: When the eldest brother injured his coccyx, he felt that his luck was not good, and he threw away all his work as if he was abandoning Tuogu.
When he handed it to Fang Yi, before he said those words, when he just said "I have an arrangement next"...
Whether it is the mainland team or the Hong Kong team, everyone is looking at Fang Yi.
This is what people want.
In fact, what was not finished at the Academy Awards ceremony was that when the eldest brother Cheng returned from injury and planned to take over the crew again, even the people in the family class felt uncomfortable because Fang Yi could always solve the problem in a shorter time.
More problems, Fang Yi doesn't care when his men eat or go to the toilet, everyone lives smoothly.
Scenes from the movie were posted on the big screen, but this time from a third-person perspective, and the content of the shooting was Fang Yi, the director.
"Speed racing, fighting, parkour; stunts, special effects, close-ups... Hugo can do it all, he just stands out from others. As long as you work with him for a while, boom! There are one or two moments, and you start to understand."
"I've had times like this before, but I'm no longer like that."
The older brother Cheng became more and more excited as he talked.
In 1985, the eldest brother Cheng failed to enter the United States for the second time. The filming of "The Great and Powerful" was like the 1980 "The Killer".
Four movies, "Police Story", "Summer Lucky Star", "Lucky Star", "Dragon Heart"... At that time, colleagues on the crew described him as "full of violence, his movements were bigger and more ruthless than usual".
During the filming of a chase scene in a shopping mall in "Police Story", the eldest brother Cheng saw the light chain and the long pole used for fixation. He thought the effect was very good, and he improvised a shot of Chen Jiaju flying down from the shopping mall.
The props team discovered that the light link was connected to commercial electricity instead of battery power, and persuaded the elder brother not to seek death.
Later, they tried to temporarily connect a battery-powered light chain, but the light was too dim and the effect was not good. It was already late at night. During the day, Brother Cheng had to rush to shoot another movie, and the building's rental time was about to run out. He decided to believe
I have the halo of the protagonist, so I choose to go straight to the fight.
Everyone thought it was impossible for him. His co-star Maggie Cheung thought he would "die" after this scene. However, the eldest brother Cheng took a deep breath, jumped onto a fixed pole, and slid down more than ten meters against commercial voltage. His hands were burned due to the lack of protection.
The skin was off, and the bones were visible... After the scene, everyone rushed over to check on him, thinking that he was gagged.
But the eldest brother got up, waved his fists and yelled crazily, and then punched his chest, like a beast that couldn't feel pain. After a simple bandage, he switched to filming another movie. The other crew thought that everything was normal for him and he was resting.
good.
In this scene, his physical fitness was so bad that he directly conquered everyone on the "Police Story" crew. Maggie Cheung was so frightened that she burst into tears after seeing it.
It’s no wonder that the eldest brother, Cheng Lao, feels that he has the aura of a protagonist and will never die no matter how hard he seeks death. He claims that he is a “double-bone” person, while the ancient star Bruce Lee and his like are only “single-bones”.
After all, if you want to be truly admired, you must not only be excellent, but also need to be unreasonable and slightly incredible.
"We have gone through some detours and had some different opinions, but every time it was proved that he was right..."
Fang Yi probably reflects this feeling in this short film.
