Admittedly, given Xia Yu's achievements at the time, it was a bit of a dream to serve as the chairman of the jury.
In terms of qualifications, there is still a big gap, and his reputation is far inferior to what he is now.
It is similar when changing places.
Xia Yu always maintains a respectful attitude toward this award.
But now, she really doesn't have that much time to distract herself from this mission.
So when faced with the invitation, Xia Yu could only decline it politely. She didn't say too many lies, but told the truth:
"I am honored to be recognized as the Best Actress of the Golden Horse Awards twice.
I am equally honored to be invited by Golden Horse to chair the jury this time.
But I still have to say sorry.
I have just finished shooting a movie. I am the director and producer, and I plan to hit the top three in Europe next year. The movie is still in the early stages of editing. After the editing is completed, it still needs to be submitted for review. You also know the follow-up work.
, which is rather troublesome.
Serving as a Golden Horse judge is a glorious and arduous task, but my time... is indeed not very compatible!
It’s a pity that I can’t work with many outstanding directors, actors, and screenwriters from Wanwan to host this Golden Horse Film Festival!”
With the holding of the China International Film Festival, and with Xia Yu's outstanding achievements internationally, the influence of the three major European film festivals in China has gradually increased - the influence of China's three major film awards is declining year by year.
The method figured out by the Golden Horse Film Festival Executive Committee is also "Xia Yu".
"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell... If we can invite Xia Yu, the entire Chinese film and television industry, and even the European and American film and television circles will pay attention to the stage of the Golden Horse Film Awards!"
After hearing what Xia Yu said, the person in charge of the Wanwan Golden Horse Awards knew that the plan had failed.
Regret, regret, miss... As for Xia Yu's neither humble nor overbearing and sincere attitude, the person in charge of the organizer of the Bay Area Film and Golden Horse Awards could not fault it, and could not help but feel a little impressed.
There's no way, Xia Yu is so famous now. Which international actor can shoot the world's number one movie at the box office, and become famous as an international first-line movie star? He can't just flutter? He can't raise his chin to the sky?
This phone call lasted nearly half an hour.
Xia Yu never did.
She gives people the same sincere and humble impression as she did when she came to Golden Horse for the first time a few years ago.
Although Wanwan Film has not won many awards at the three major European film festivals, it has always had a place. Excellent films have been steadily output, and excellent directors have appeared in the director circle from generation to generation.
But in terms of actors, there has always been a lack of an actor who can completely suppress actors of the same generation, or in other words, a ceiling-level actor!
I even couldn't help but sigh: "It would be better if she was a Taiwanese actress!"
Less than ten minutes after Wanwan's invitation was hung up, Xia Yu's phone vibrated again.
Cheng Zhiqing.
"Yubao, it's me, Lao Cheng. Do you have time to have a meal recently?" Cheng Zhiqing made the call daringly.
In his view, being able to serve as the chairman of the Golden Rooster Award jury is of course an honor, something worthy of joy and something worthy of celebration.
But Xia Yu's itinerary for this year was something he heard from Xia Yu at Tao Zhang's engagement banquet.
Because Cheng Zhiqing originally planned to invite Xia Yu to participate in this year's national drama tour.
Xia Yu is currently a second-level actor. If he wants to be promoted to a national first-level actor, he still needs a lot of qualifications - this cannot be judged by starring in a few movies and winning a few awards.
Xia Yu is a member of the Imperial Theater Company, but as of now, he is not considered an official member of the Imperial Theater Company.
At that time, Xia Yu was rated as a second-level actor in the country, and it was because of their group of talents that it was against the public opinion. In addition, Xia Yu did have excellent awards and movies, and he was considered to be the last one among the actors who were rated as second-level actors.
He had the idea of pulling Xia Yu into a favor, which was also an idea shared by Zhuang and his colleagues.
Participate in several drama performances and competitions. With Xia Yu's understanding of performance, participate in several drama performances. It is best to win a Golden Plum Blossom Award for Drama. After a few years, it will be easy to mention this again!
Become a national first-class actor, let nature take its course, stay for two or three years, and join the Chinese Filmmakers Association. Then you can become the vice chairman and the chairman in the future. Of course, that will have to be twenty or thirty years later.
things.
‘Cheng Zhiqing took the initiative to call himself?’
Even if Xia Yu has known Cheng Zhiqing for ten years, this is almost rare.
His tone and attitude were unusual at first sight.
Xia Yu thought: "Are you going to invite yourself to participate in this year's drama tour?"
Then rejected.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"No... we communicated with our senior brother at the engagement party. I will be busy in the second half of this year, and I will probably be busy throughout next year. Teacher Cheng, I shouldn't be so forgetful, right?"
An outrageous idea emerged in Xia Yu's mind.
Anyway, he was quite familiar with me, so he asked jokingly:
"Uncle Cheng, you're not here to invite me to participate in the review of the Golden Rooster Film Awards, are you?"
I really don’t blame Xia Yu for thinking this way.
Just after I hung up the phone with the head of the executive committee of the Wanwan Golden Horse Film Festival, Cheng Zhiqing called.
"?" Cheng Zhiqing was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"Prophecy? Or has someone leaked the secret to you?"
"No." Xia Yu shook his head and laughed, saying:
"I just finished a phone call with the person in charge at Wanwan. I had a sudden idea and made some blind guesses."
