Chapter 110 Nominations for various film awards (please subscribe)
Zhang Hao led the crew of "The Magic" to start shooting at the Chedun Film and Television Base in Shanghai, and another project related to him has also been officially approved, that is "Manslaughter 2"
Compared with its predecessor "Manslaughter", "Manslaughter 2" has a different director, a different starring role, and even the screenwriter is no longer Zhang Hao.
However, Bona Pictures seems confident about this. Not only did Hao Qianyun bring together several companies to invest 60 million, but it also invited top stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan to participate in the film, and the production team was replaced by directors from Hong Kong.
Yu Dong also strongly invited Zhang Hao to participate in the screenwriting work and supervise the production of "Manslaughter 2".
But how could the Hong Kong director team allow a young mainland director to shit on their head? So Yu Dong gave up the idea.
Zhang Hao is also happy and relaxed. It's good that the movie is successful. If the movie fails, he will have to bear the blame.
Well, now, except for the movie title "Manslaughter", the sequel has nothing to do with the second part.
Even if the movie succeeds, the audience still remembers him. If the movie fails, the audience still remembers him and will say: "Look, without Director Zhang, the "Manslaughter" series will not work, so Director Zhang is the core person."
On the occasion of the filming of "The Prestige", the 30th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards to be held in Jiangyin City announced the nomination list for this year.
Zhang Hao was nominated again with "Manslaughter". "Manslaughter" was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.
And Da Mi Mi was shortlisted for the Best Newcomer competition with "Genius Gunner".
Regarding the public relations efforts for the Hundred Flowers Award, Haotian Studio has not done much, and it is basically a Buddhist-style award-winning state.
Several judges who had a good relationship with Beijing Film Studio secretly revealed to Zhang Hao through Yu Dong that Chen Gege was contacting the judges everywhere in an effort to prevent Zhang Hao from receiving an award.
Therefore, the possibility of Zhang Hao winning the Hundred Flowers Award this year is infinitely close to zero.
In this case, Zhang Hao has no interest in running a show for a work that was published two years ago.
However, producer Liu Hao still persuaded Zhang Hao. Liu Hao believed that as a junior director who was nominated for a major award for the first time, he still had to attend if he could.
This can also leave a good impression on the judges, who are all important figures in the film and television industry.
Zhang Hao thought it made sense, so he agreed to attend the Popular Hundred Flowers Award. He had forgotten that he was a young and junior director, and he was still the same director in his previous life!
Since the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award were held separately, and the two awards were held one year apart, they have gradually become useless awards. The Golden Rooster Award is better, but the Hundred Flowers Award is really hard to save.
Since the selection scope is limited to domestic films within two years, most of the nominated films each time are old films.
Such a system has fatefully pushed the Hundred Flowers Award into a strange circle.
It’s hard to imagine that outdated awards would make directors and stars with busy schedules rush to perform for a movie that was made two years ago.
Although the awards are decided on-site by 101 public judges using voting machines, the results of the Hundred Flowers Awards are easy to predict. As long as you know which celebrities will attend before the awards are given, you will basically get the award.
Although no one has revealed the mystery behind this, a consensus has actually been formed.
Although Zhang Hao went, Xu Qing was nominated for Best Supporting Actress but was not interested in participating. There was also news from Guo Tao that he would not attend the awards ceremony.
Da Mi Mi is interested. She just finished filming "Gong Lock Heart Jade" and received her first film nomination. She is very excited.
To this end, Da Mi Mi's agent and Tang Ren's public relations team have made a lot of efforts to ensure that Da Mi Mi can win the award.
It's just that Tang Ren has no connections in the film industry, and Da Mi Mi offended Mrs. Chen Gege. How could Mrs. Chen Ge Ge allow Da Mi Mi to win this award?
Zhang Hao would help his girlfriend as much as he could on her way to win the prize, and he could also slap Mrs. Chen Gege in the face, which made me feel happy just thinking about it.
So Zhang Hao made a lot of phone calls to communicate and help Da Mi Mi make contacts with the judges.
If Da Mi Mi can break through the obstruction of Mrs. Chen Gezi and win the Best Newcomer award, he will definitely look very good-looking.
Almost at the same time, on October 1st, the 47th Baodao Golden Horse Awards announced the nomination list.
At this time, the Baodao Golden Horse Awards can be called the number one award in the Chinese film industry. With its open, inclusive, fair and just attitude, it has surpassed the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Mainland Golden Rooster Awards to become the number one award for Chinese films. It is also the first award in the hearts of countless Chinese filmmakers.
temple.
Unfortunately, such a temple could not hold up under the heavy pressure from the island in a few years, and finally collapsed in 2018 due to the remarks of an independent director.
But now, the Golden Horse Awards are still very authoritative. Being shortlisted for this award also shows the level of filmmakers.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao was not shortlisted last year, but this year he was shortlisted for "Genius Gunslinger".
"The Gunslinger" was nominated for six nominations: Best New Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best New Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Original Film Score (Soundtrack).
As soon as the nomination list came out, it immediately became a hot topic in the media.
As the youngest and most talented director in Mainland China, the most important award Zhang Hao has received so far is the Golden Rooster Award for Best Directorial Debut.
Even the Best Director trophy at the Beijing University Student Film Festival this year was deemed useless due to the lack of influence of the award and was not recognized by the media and the public.
But I think the situation at the Golden Horse Awards, currently the largest award in the Chinese film industry, will be different.
Zhang Hao's fan forum has begun to discuss how many awards "The Genius" can win. And slightly more radical fans have already put the title of future film master on Zhang Hao's head.
Zhang Hao still attaches great importance to the Golden Horse Awards and has done a lot of public relations work with China Film and Bona.
Zhang Hao has also confirmed that he will attend this Golden Horse Awards with the crew of "The Genius Gunfighter".
If you want to get an award, you have to be present. If you don't go, and you're not Director Jay, I'll give you the award even if you're not there.
It is worth mentioning that "The Genius" has won more than 30 unknown film awards since its release, including four or five Best Actress trophies.
It's just that these awards are more useless than useless, and even the most powerful people are embarrassed to show them on their resumes.
In addition, the most unexpected thing is that because of Koreans' love for this movie, "The Gunslinger" was voted by Korean movie fans for the Blue Dragon Awards to be held in November.
As a result, "The Genius" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Blue Dragon Awards, and Zhang Hao was personally nominated for Best Foreign Language Film Director.
Since "The Gunslinger" is the only one shortlisted for nomination, it can be said that the award is certain.
The Blue Dragon Awards' Best Foreign Language Film and Best Foreign Language Film Director awards are not permanent and are generally used to recognize foreign films that have performed well in the Korean film industry that year.
If "The Genius" were a Korean film, it would probably be nominated for more awards.
In fact, some Korean film companies have actually started to contact Haotian Studio regarding the remake copyright issue, and plan to make a Korean version of "The Gunslinger".
Korean movies have always been famous for their boldness, and they will surely bring a bolder and more radical perspective to the audience.
When the news spread back to China, the media and netizens became even more lively. Some netizens ridiculed Zhang Hao, saying that this was a good opportunity to win glory for the country.
The official Blue Dragon Awards also strongly invited Zhang Hao to attend the 31st Blue Dragon Awards held in Seoul at the end of November.
Zhang Hao originally wanted to refuse, but a call from the Third Master made Zhang Hao decide to participate in the Blue Dragon Award.
The reason is very simple. This is also an external export of Chinese-language films. The authorities naturally hope to expand the influence of Chinese-language films in the pan-Chinese cultural circle.
I vaguely remember that the last time it won the Blue Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film was "Farewell My Concubine" by Chen Gege. More than ten years later, "The Genius" won this award again.
Among them, even Koreans' favorite Chinese-language film "The Untold Secret" did not win the Best Foreign Language Film award, which shows that the award selection is strict.
The gap between Zhang Hao and Chen Gezi has been reduced by one. I wonder how Chen Gezi felt after hearing the news.
