Chapter 154 The fairy sister appears in "Little Times"
The selection criteria for the Hong Kong Island Film Awards are sometimes very strict and sometimes very lenient. This year they are undoubtedly lenient.
Although "The Embalmer" has only one Hong Kong star, Andy Lau, participating in it, the Academy Awards organizing committee still allowed "The Embalmer" to be shortlisted for this year's Academy Awards.
Moreover, as the first domestic film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the Academy Awards organizing committee could not ignore the film "The Embalmer".
"The Embalmer" won a total of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Design, and Best Original Film Score.
Ten awards including New Director.
It is worth mentioning that because Zhang Hao was nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for the first time, he also received a nomination for a new director, that is, the nomination for Best New Director.
"The Embalmer" has become the favorite to win this year's Academy Awards, even more popular than "Sister Tao", which was nominated for six awards.
Andy also received two nominations for Best Actor for "Sister Peach" and "The Embalmer". It is not a big problem to continue to win the title of Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
In fact, according to previous media predictions, Andy has 100% won the Best Actor, and there is no suspense.
The only question is whether the Hong Kong Island Film Awards will create a bit of an upset and create some program impact.
The awards ceremony will be held on April 15th. On April 3rd, Zhang Hao went to Hong Kong Island, took a photo with all the nominees, and posted it online.
Just after the nominations for the Hong Kong Film Awards were announced, the 64th Cannes International Film Festival also announced the films shortlisted for the main competition, and the name "The Embalmer" was among them.
The judges of the Hong Kong Film Awards breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they gave me a nomination. Otherwise, I would have been criticized by Youyou for who knows what.
In fact, at the beginning, some judges rejected "The Embalmer" from being shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Awards. They believed that "The Embalmer" did not meet the selection criteria.
However, the chairman of the jury insisted against all opinions and insisted that "The Embalmer" be shortlisted.
"If an excellent Chinese-language film like "The Embalmer" cannot be fairly recognized, we Hong Kong filmmakers should be ashamed of it." These were the original words of the chairman of the jury.
No matter what happens behind the scenes, it is a foregone conclusion that "The Embalmer" will be shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Awards.
The Oscar fever, which had already cooled down, has started to heat up again. Almost everyone has no doubt that "The Embalmer," an Oscar-winning film, will win the Academy Awards.
Then fans began to advocate Zhang Hao's Oscar win and showed off everywhere.
It also aroused the resentment of some black trolls, who began to hold on to the fact that Zhang Hao won the Oscar, saying that he licked the Oscar and worshiped foreigners.
"Winning an Oscar makes you awesome. Why are you so proud of foreigners' awards?"
"Why don't you immigrate as soon as you like Oscar so much? You still stay in China to make money from the Chinese people."
"What is there to like about a director who worships foreigners and favors foreigners? If something happens, he will be the first to run away."
Comments like this began to appear quietly again, springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and gave Zhang Hao another Oscar-worthy label of being a dog-licker and advocating for foreigners.
After reading this, Zhang Hao could only feel speechless. It was obvious that some people had arranged for the navy to start setting the pace again.
Nowadays, some people are more proficient in using navy than Zhang Hao, which makes Zhang Hao ashamed!
Although, movie fans have been advocating that the Oscars are a bit foreign-oriented. But this is the trend these days. How can you prove your awesomeness by winning a foreign award and not bragging about it when you return home?
Besides, even after the rise of national self-confidence, the Internet is not a bunch of foreign dogs. Even if foreign countries are like that, I still think the moon is rounder.
No matter how awesome Zhang Hao is, he is not a god and cannot change everyone's thinking. Then he has no choice but to strive to win major domestic and foreign awards and become the person who is praised and envied by others.
Moreover, they are all involved in the entertainment industry. As long as they don’t break the law or commit crimes, don’t rebel and change their nationality, what’s the point of winning some foreign awards? Isn’t this a heinous crime?
If it is a crime, let the law punish Zhang Hao instead of letting him accept these groundless accusations.
Also, if you have the ability, let Chen Gege return the Palme d'Or, let the National Master return all the honors he has won abroad, and declare that foreign awards are rubbish and anyone who tries to win them will be treason.
As long as the two great directors set an example, Zhang Hao would immediately follow suit.
Otherwise, just looking at where someone's butt sits without considering other people's problems at all, wouldn't this be a hooligan? A public double standard?
I have always said that I want to integrate into the world, and if I win a foreign award, I will be criticized for admiring foreigners. Then just follow my example and lead a country that is closed to the outside world and has no contact with the world.
Some people on the Internet are just speechless and engage in double-standard behavior. They don't look at the mobile phones, electronic products, computer operating systems they use, and the Nike and Adidas they wear. Are they domestic brands and things?
Aren’t those who use these things also worship foreigners? Are they also considered treason?
Then in such a big country with a population of more than one billion, at least more than half are like this. Why do you just stare at someone and criticize someone?
In short, baseless criticism and slander can only show the low IQ and EQ of some netizens, but cannot prove that Zhang Hao is a foreigner.
If you really have to choose a patriotic person, Zhang Hao, who has experienced what happened later, is obviously more patriotic than the trolls on the Internet who criticize him for admiring foreign countries.
All in all, I am speechless.
Of course, having become a big director, Zhang Hao naturally cannot end up arguing with these boring trolls. He has fans and netizens with a strong sense of justice to defend Zhang Hao.
This kind of thing lasted for almost a week and then dissipated.
Zhang Hao has already led the crew of "Butterfly Effect" to get on the right track, and gradually found the feeling.
I believe that child actors have a common problem with all film crews around the world, because children's moods are like the weather in June, they change at any time, and they are not sure what is causing their temper.
And in view of the time available for young actors, Zhang Hao thought of giving priority to filming the children's scenes to end this painful moment.
But this is obviously impossible, because the children still have to go to school, and only weekends can be used for filming.
Every week I fly here on Friday night, finish shooting, and then fly out on Sunday afternoon.
As a result, the young actor is exhausted and it is difficult to maintain a good performance state. And when it is time to go to school, he cannot maintain a learning state, and both ends are delayed.
When Zhang Hao thought about it, this was not the way to go, so he had to think of a way to keep the children on the crew for a long time, so he asked producer Liu Hao to think of a way.
Liu Hao proposed a way: "How about we invite a tutor to teach the children on the set."
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up: "It's okay. I usually film and then have a tutor to help the children with their homework. This way there will be no delay."
"OK, I'll discuss it with the parents of the child." Liu Hao quickly went to contact the parents.
Parents also feel sorry for their children who have to travel so hard, but they have no choice. It is a dilemma to film and maintain academic performance at the same time.
After listening to Liu Hao's method, I thought it was good, so I communicated with my child's school.
The school naturally agrees, as long as it ensures that the children can take the final exam without delay.
In response to inquiries from parents, Zhang Hao has promised that he will focus on filming the children's scenes and finish filming in early May.
This way you can still study in school for a while and won't delay the final exam.
After the agreement was reached, the crew quickly hired tutors for the children.
At first, the children cheered when they heard that they no longer had to go back to school, but when they heard that they still had tutors to teach them, their faces suddenly fell.
It vividly interprets what is meant by the two worlds of ice and fire.
"Xianxu, today's filming will be a bit hard. If you can't stand it anymore, tell your brother immediately and he will stop the filming immediately." Zhang Hao said to Hu Xianxu during the pre-scene talk.
Hu Xianxu looked confident: "Brother, director, don't worry, I have tried it with Aunt Wu Yue several times."
"That's great, actors, get ready!" After Zhang Hao finished talking about the play, the makeup, costumes and props hurried in to check if there were any problems.
The doctor in this scene was played by Huang Bochuan, and he was already ready at this time.
Following Zhang Hao's order, the two actors, one big and one small, quickly got into acting mode.
"Inhale, breathe, relax." The doctor played by Huang Bo has excellent acting skills and is very natural: "You have completely fallen asleep, relax.
Take me back to when Xiaobin, Xiaowu and the others were in the forest. Just like playing a movie, you can play it back, pause it, slow it down, and zoom in on the details. Do you understand?"
Little Gao Qi, played by Hu Xianxu, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed: "I understand."
"Where are you now?"
"I stood next to Xiaomei and put my hands on her ears."
"Are you hurting her?"
"No, I'm protecting her."
"Okay, now let's fast forward and see what happens?"
At this time, the real difficult scene came. Xiao Gaoqi, played by Hu Xianxu, began to roll his eyes and his mood fluctuated: "I saw a car."
As he said this, he began to struggle uncomfortably, making little Gaoqi's mother look worried.
"Okay, Xiaoqi, describe this car to me." The doctor said, while signaling Xiaoqi's mother to calm down.
"It's okay, it's safe, nothing can hurt you, it's just a movie."
Xiao Gaoqi looked painful and began to howl: "I can't remember. Suddenly the car disappeared and I was lying on the forest floor."
"The car has not disappeared, Xiaoqi, it has just been cut off from the movie in your mind. Describe this car to me." The doctor continued the hypnosis.
"I can't do it, the car is coming." As he said that, little Gao Qi started to have a nosebleed.
Little Gaoqi's mother was so frightened that she was about to rush over. When the doctor saw that something was not going well, he quickly helped little Gaoqi regain consciousness: "I will count to ten, and you will wake up and be lucid."
Although the subsequent shots are all cross-edited, for the sake of the performance status of the young actors, they are shot consecutively and from multiple cameras.
Although this is a good way to maintain the performance status of young actors, it is also easy to start over because of a bad shot.
Simply put, the performances of these three people were good, very good.
Gao Qi, played by Hu Xianxu, kept struggling. As the doctor counted down, various scenes flashed back in his mind. Wu Yue's mother hurriedly came up to hug Gao Qi.
"Doctor, what happened to him? Why is this happening?"
Finally, when the doctor finished counting down, little Gao Qi struggled and woke up: "What's wrong? Did it work?"
The mother hugged little Gao Qi and shed tears, but the child still didn't remember anything.
The scene went very smoothly. Huang Bo and Wu Yue were full of praise for Hu Xianxu's performance: "It's really amazing to have such ability at such a young age."
"Children these days are amazing, they are so good at acting."
Zhang Hao gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xianxu, you did a good job."
The makeup team rushed up to deal with the blood bag for Hu Xianxu. The young actor had not yet come out of his state. Hearing the praise from the director's brother and everyone, he seemed a little embarrassed.
Hu Xianxu's mother hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Xuxu, how do you feel? Is everything okay?"
Hu Xianxu smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, mom, I'm fine."
"Awesome!" Hu Xianxu's mother gave her son a thumbs up.
Chen Kun, who was watching on the set, saw Hu Xianxu's performance and said to Zhang Hao: "I feel very stressed after watching other children's performances. What do you think I should do if I don't perform as well as other children?"
"What should I do?" Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Then just wait for my hair dryer to take care of you!"
"Then what you should worry about most is the power. She has been scolded by you, the director, in the past two days." Lei Jiayin said with a smile.
If we want to say who is under the most pressure in the crew right now, it is undoubtedly Da Mi Mi. Because Zhang Zifeng, who played her as a child, performed so well and is indeed a born actor.
So the big power in comparison was unlucky. Zhang Hao picked on all kinds of faults during the day and night, and was scolded.
If she hadn't slept in the same bed with Zhang Hao all day long, she would have thought that Zhang Hao was deliberately targeting her.
However, this also aroused the determination to make great progress. After all, it is easy to say that I can't compare with other adult actors. If I can't compare with children, I will be laughed at.
She clearly didn't want to give others this opportunity, so she consulted with actors with good acting skills on the set and worked hard to polish her acting skills.
And this is what Zhang Hao hopes to see.
What if Da Mi Mi’s acting skills have not improved at all, but have regressed. If Zhang Hao finds a suitable role for her in the future, what should she do if she can’t play it because her acting skills are not good?
It doesn't matter if you have a little bit of talent, as long as you work hard, sooner or later you will hone your superb acting skills like Andy Lau.
Besides, Da Mi Mi's talent is not bad. After all, he was an actor who was praised by many directors as having an aura before, and he was a child star.
Coupled with Zhang Hao's training, her acting skills are pretty good among all the beauties born in 1985. At least she has no problem crushing the fairy sister.
It is worth mentioning that because of Zhang Hao, the life paths of Da Mi Mi and Shen Xian Sister have undergone some changes.
The film has more power than "The Genius" and "Shark Tank" that should not have appeared, and it has not received many bad movies, bad TV series, and no more dramas.
With Zhang Hao's support, his journey to becoming a star actor has been very solid step by step.
As for the fairy sister, she continued to shoot the films on her original track and became a half-dead movie actress in the film market.
Unable to break out and unable to die, this is the current state of the fairy sister in the film field.
This is not to say that the fairy sister is not doing well enough, but most people in the industry are in this state, and she is not an exception. There are only a few people at the top. Such people are generally called movie superstars by the audience.
Da Mi Mi is very lucky. She is not a superstar, but she has a very awesome boyfriend, which escapes the half-dead state of most people in the industry.
If you don't take on small-screen dramas, you will be somewhat out of touch with the public. After all, movies need to be supported by money.
Normally, Fairy Sister doesn't make any hype and maintains her fairy character. If it weren't for the fans of Fairy Sister who used her power to hype her up several times, I'm afraid not many people would talk about Fairy Sister now.
For a star, it doesn't matter whether he is black or red. It is terrible that he is forgotten and no one discusses him.
From this point of view, the fairy sister should be grateful to Da Mi Mi. If Da Mi Mi, a very popular actress, had not hyped up her bondage several times, how could everyone still remember that there was a fairy sister.
Probably in order to get rid of her half-dead status in the film field, after the fairy sister who filmed "Tongque Terrace" learned that Da Mi Mi had become the heroine of Zhang Hao's new work, she also took the initiative to look for projects.
After searching, I actually found one.
In fact, she didn't find it, but someone took the initiative to find it.
The thing is like this, maybe because he has written too much, Guo Xiaosi, who feels that his talent is unlimited, plans to try a new field: being a director.
The first thing he did as a director was to adapt his novel "Tiny Times" to the big screen.
After Li Li, who founded Heli Chenguang, heard about it, he immediately came to see Guo Xiaosi, supported his idea of becoming a director, and handed it over to his own company for production.
The two hit it off immediately and immediately planned to invest 25 million to shoot the first part of "Tiny Times".
As a businessman and writer with a keen sense of smell, Guo Xiaosi clearly grasps the context of the market and masters the traffic code. He knows that if his film project wants to be successful, he needs very popular and popular star actors to participate.
Ever since, Guo Xiaosi immediately thought of Da Mi Mi and sent an invitation to Da Mi Mi.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Hao to let his girlfriend participate in this kind of fan movie that had good box office but poor reputation, so Da Mi Mi immediately refused.
Da Mi Mi refused to star, so Guo Xiaosi had to find someone else. Liu Shi Shi Tangyan, and even the bigger Fan Binbing and Guo Xiaosi considered it.
In fact, Fan Binbing was quite suitable, but Fan seemed to have little interest in the film, or he was not interested in the new director Guo Xiaosi, who was a dwarf and had become a monk halfway, so he declined the invitation.
After searching around, Guo Xiaosi found the head of the fairy sister.
The fairy sister was busy filming "Bronze Bird Terrace". Guo Xiaosi visited the thatched cottage three times and accurately grasped the fairy sister's desire to escape from the state of being half-dead. He persuaded the fairy sister with some inducing and inflammatory words.
Because the filming of "Tongque Terrace" was not over yet, Guo Xiaosi said that he could wait for the fairy sister's schedule, and the two of them hit it off immediately.
The fairy sister fell into the trap of the "Tiny Times" series, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
After Zhang Hao heard about this incident, he found it very interesting. This transformation was exactly the same as the plot of the movie "The Butterfly Effect" he shot.
Sometimes I have to lament the strange fate, it is really wonderful.
After all, it developed on a different path than in the previous life. I don’t know what the alien veteran thought when he saw such a change in the timeline.
Or perhaps, I am just a tool they use for experiments, placed in this world, allowed to change, and then observed and recorded...
