On the evening of June 22, the heat was unstoppable, but the movie fans were even more enthusiastic.
The Shanghai International Film Festival Awards Ceremony officially kicked off, and the Six Princesses were simultaneously broadcast live on CCTV and broadcast online by Penguin Video.
The only cast members of "Gravity" were Zhang Hao, Da Mi Mi, and Hua Zai. They participated in this Shang Hai International Film Festival.
Zhang Hao and Hua Zai were on the left and right, walking in the middle, enjoying the service of being surrounded by two handsome guys.
The host on the red carpet also began to introduce: "Coming to us now is the crew of "Gravity", directed by Zhang Hao, starring The Power, and guest starring Hua Zai.
Since its release, the film has brought audiences the ultimate enjoyment with a subversive viewing experience. Currently, the film has a cumulative global box office of US$481 million, making it the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in history..."
Halfway through the red carpet, Zhang Hao and Hua Tsai went to sign autographs for the fans on both sides of the red carpet, leaving the middle of the red carpet for the powerful people to take photos and pose.
Zhang Hao had just signed a few autographs and greeted fans enthusiastically, when he was pulled back into a concave shape by a powerful force.
The big power hooked his neck, and the two shared a sweet kiss under the spotlight, which instantly captured the film and made the fans on the red carpet scream.
Da Mi Mi is like this, never shying away from showing affection, and she doesn't think that showing affection will lead to a quick death.
On the contrary, by showing affection from time to time, I also tell those coquettish bitches in the circle that Zhang Hao and I have a stable relationship, so you should stop having any illusions.
To put it bluntly, it is an act of declaring sovereignty.
Of course, for people in the industry, no matter whether they show affection or not, with Zhang Hao's current status, poaching is money.
Otherwise, if Lao Fan knew that Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi were about to get married, why would he bother with so many tricks?
The rewards for hooking up with Zhang Hao are so huge that it's hard not to be tempted.
At the end of the red carpet, the host asked a few questions: "Director Zhang, you have succeeded in directing a domestic science fiction film for the first time. How do you feel about it?"
"I think this is just the beginning. We will have more domestic science fiction films in the future." Zhang Haoshun posted an advertisement for Guo Fan's new film:
"On June 27, "Source Code" directed by Guo Fan and directed by me and produced by me will be released. This film is also in the science fiction genre. You can support it."
"Did you hear that? Everyone, hurry up and support." The host did not object to Zhang Hao's behavior of bringing goods, but supported it.
The host then asked Da Mi Mi: "Mi Mi Mi, how do you feel about starring in a domestic science fiction movie this time?"
Da Mi Mi pretended to be tired and said: "Tired, very tired. I never thought I would be so tired."
The other celebrities watching the interview shouted in their hearts: If you are tired, you can give me the opportunity! I am not tired.
Da Mi Mi then said: "Filming a science fiction film is a very strange experience for me. All this is thanks to Zhang Hao. He really did a good job. I am very grateful to him for giving me this opportunity."
Other celebrities started to complain again: Nonsense, you are his girlfriend, who will give it to you if he doesn't give you a chance?
When asked about the same topic, Andy was very surprised and said: "When I joined "Gravity", it was just like when I first entered the film industry in the 1980s, everything felt very strange.
The imagination of young directors of our generation reaches the sky and seems to have no boundaries.
I feel that I am young and can continue to work for another thirty years to see how far our country’s film industry will develop in thirty years.”
When the host asked Zhang Hao about his next plans for domestic science fiction movies, Zhang Hao revealed: "There is still a lot of work ahead, I am busy preparing for the wedding, and I also have to prepare for "The Dark Knight."
Next year we plan to make a comedy film and at the same time send powerful people to Mars to grow potatoes."
The amount of information in these words was huge, and the barrage in the Penguin Video live broadcast room was boiling instantly.
"The Dark Knight? Batman Part 2?"
"What I'm more concerned about is sending powerful people to Mars to grow potatoes. I want to see this even more."
"I want to watch it too. What comedy movie do I want to watch?"
"Oh oh oh, my boyfriend is getting married. I'm so sad."
"Don't panic, beauty. I'm also a fan of Zhang Hao. We can discuss the art of film together."
"Are you serious about discussing this?"
"Is it possible that the beautiful woman is actually a man?"
After the brief red carpet interview, Zhang Hao and Hua Zai entered the awards ceremony hall together.
The judge of this Shang Hai International Film Festival is Gong Li. Before the award ceremony began, Gong Huang took the stage to deliver a speech:
"This is an unforgettable and warm working journey. During the film festival, many people asked us judges, as filmmakers, what does the film festival mean to you and what is its significance?
A successful film festival will not use money to judge its value. We have no box office confusion and no interference here.
Here you can fully feel the freedom, respect and equality of a filmmaker, thank you all for coming."
Although Gong Li said there was no confusion about the box office, some viewers who watched the live broadcast and even Zhang Hao's followers disagreed.
"What's not box office confusion? Is "Gravity's" $4.81 box office fake?"
"Yes, according to this statement, "Gravity" should not be selected at all."
Fans also refuted Kuroko's remarks:
“Does the film’s high box office deny its artistry?”
"Who said that high artistry must mean low box office? Can't we take both business and artistry into consideration?"
"James Cameron even praised this as the best space science fiction movie of this century. I don't know what you idiots are up to."
These days, it is necessary to have a celebrity's title. Whether it is a Chinese celebrity or a foreign celebrity, Chinese celebrities usually start with Brother Xun.
But Brother Xun said that many things he never said were put in by netizens.
No matter how noisy netizens are, it will not affect the pattern of this awards ceremony. It is worth mentioning that the closing film of this Shanghai Film Festival is actually "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction".
A popcorn commercial blockbuster can be broadcast as the closing film, and there is no problem if "Gravity" is shortlisted for the main competition.
Before the main competition unit, the Asian Newcomer Award and the Movie Channel Media Award will be presented first.
In the Asian Newcomer Award, the Best Film and Best Director awards were both taken away by the Iranian film "I'm Not Angry", and the Korean film "Ten Minutes" won the Special Jury Award.
The University of Canterbury scholarship was taken away by "I'm Not Angry" and the Indian film "Dragonfly", but these are just appetizers.
The next Movie Channel Media Awards focused on domestic films, with "XZ Sky" becoming the biggest winner.
The film won seven awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best New Actor and Best New Actress.
In addition, Chopsticks Brothers' Xiao Yang won the best director for "Oldboy: The Dragon Crossing the River", the best actor was won by Li Baotian, and the best actress was won by Tao Hong.
The Best Supporting Actor award went to Wang Ziyi, which is a win for everyone.
Next, there are the awards for the main competition unit.
The first thing to be awarded was the Best Cinematography Award. The long shot at the beginning of "Gravity" was enough to win this award.
Sure enough, the name shouted out by the award-winning guest was indeed the director of photography of "Gravity" Lu Jianqiu.
Lu Jianqiu did not walk on the red carpet with Zhang Hao and the others just now, but went directly to the award ceremony. At this moment, he did not seem surprised when he won the award, but calmly went up to receive the award.
"The fact that I can win this award is not due to me alone, but also to the joint efforts of the entire photography team, the director, and the entire crew. This award belongs to you."
Lu Jianqiu became more and more like a master photographer. He spoke concisely and to the point, and left after giving his acceptance speech.
When Lu Jianqiu came back with the trophy, Zhang Hao asked him: "You talk so little? I thought you would say more!"
"Winning the award is enough. Let the director do the rest." Lu Jianqiu said with a smile.
Wa Jai joked on the side: "I'm awarding the Best Actress award today, Mi Mi, you have to say a few more words."
Mi Mi looked at the people around him and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said: "Brother Hua, that's not right. It's not certain whether I can win the prize."
"Since you asked me to award the best actress, you must have won the award, otherwise it would be impossible for me to award the award." Wa Jai has been involved in major award ceremonies for many years, and he knows this set of unspoken rules very well.
As expected, Hua Zai really took notice.
The Artistic Contribution Award was awarded to the film "Start Again" from the United States. Some movie fans may be familiar with it in another title, called "Start Again: Meet You in New York".
The film stars Keira Knightley and Hulk Mark Ruffalo, and is considered a good musical road movie.
The Best Screenplay Award went to the German-French co-production "Diplomatic Secrets", and the Special Jury Award went to "Victory" directed by Zhang Meng.
Then came the presentation of the Best Actress award. Andy walked to the stage in a suit and leather shoes, holding an envelope in his hand.
He didn't show off, and directly opened the envelope and announced the winner of the Best Actress: "The winner of the Best Actress at the 17th Shang Hai International Film Festival is Yang Mi from "Gravity". Congratulations to her."
Da Mi Mi had a look of surprise on her face, and all the cameras were focused on her. Zhang Hao stood up and hugged Da Mi Mi, while Da Mi Mi kissed Zhang Hao under the camera to celebrate this moment.
Then Da Mi Mi walked onto the stage with steady steps and took the trophy from Andy.
"Thank you, thank you all." Da Mi Mi took a long breath and said, "I am so happy. Being able to win this award shows that the judges recognize me.
I have been in the industry since I was a child and have acted in many movies and TV series. This is the first time I have won such a prestigious award.
I would like to thank my boyfriend Zhang Hao here for giving me this opportunity and giving me the opportunity to touch the trophy for Best Actress.
By the way, we are getting married this year."
Zhang Hao covered his face amidst the good-natured laughter of the audience. At this time, he did not forget to show his affection.
Da Mi Mi then said: "I would also like to thank all the crew. I still remember what Zhang Hao said to me.
The movie is not the work of one director or several leading actors, but belongs to all the staff. So it makes no sense not to thank them after receiving the award. I want to solemnly thank them."
"Finally, I want to thank my family. They have always supported my dream of becoming an actor and have always given me the motivation to continue on this path.
Thank you, thank you all."
Yang's father, Yang's mother, and Zhang Hao's mother, Zhang Yu, who were far away in Beijing, watched the award ceremony together. When they heard their daughter's speech, Yang's mother was moved to tears.
"This kid, after so many years as an actor, has finally achieved something." Yang's mother was moved to tears.
Zhang Yu looked proud: Did you see the powerful woman speaking confidently on the stage? That is my daughter-in-law.
The moment Da Mi Mi won the Best Actress award, it was a moment of revelry for Da Mi Mi’s fans, who began to show off their superiority online.
"Congratulations on Mi Mi's first heavyweight Best Actress Award!"
"Mi Mi Mi was successfully crowned queen. Judging from her performance in "Gravity", we know she is worthy."
"From this moment on, Da Mi Mi officially enters the ranks of top actresses."
"Above, Da Mi Mi has been a top actress for a long time, but she just lacks the recognition of heavyweight awards."
The media is equally lively, with real-time updates on awards, and the entry about Da Mi Mi winning the Best Actress award at the Shanghai Film Festival instantly became a trending topic on Weibo and Baidu.
Later, the Best Actor Award was won by Thai actor Vithaya Painslingam for "The Last Executor".
Then came the awarding of the best director, and without any suspense, Zhang Hao won this award.
Seeing Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi show off their affection again, the audience in person, in front of the TV, and in front of the Internet are all used to it. After seeing it too much, they don't think it's anything.
If one day Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi don't show off their affection, others will start to wonder if there is something fishy.
Zhang Hao calmly delivered his acceptance speech on the stage: "I would like to thank the jury for recognizing me, thank all the crew for their hard work, and thank the investors for their trust in me.
I would also like to thank Mi Mi. I know how much hard work she put in for this movie. In the behind-the-scenes special, Mi Mi trained with the astronauts, which was very, very hard.
I'm glad that she persevered and gave a great performance that made this movie possible.
I would also like to thank Brother Hua and Brother Jing. They had very few scenes. Brother Jing even only had three lines and never even showed his face.
It is incredible that we can complete this great cause together.
I hope this movie can inspire everyone. We Chinese filmmakers are not limited to specific genres, but can also be successful in other films."
Looking at the thoughtful filmmakers in the audience, Zhang Hao smiled and continued: ""Gravity" is the first of my trilogy about space movies, and there will be two more space movies to be made in the future.
.
This is a bit of a no-brainer, please continue to look forward to it.”
With the help of this platform, Zhang Hao has become a big star.
There are still two parts, which means that others will also have the opportunity to participate in this project. And from Zhang Hao's tone, it does not seem to be a sequel to "Gravity".
Because in terms of narrative space, the story of "Gravity" is quite complete, and there is no need to make a sequel.
And according to Zhang Hao's style, if there is no good story, he will definitely not make a sequel.
After watching "Manslaughter 2", you will know that Zhang Hao was not involved in the crime.
So the celebrity guests in the audience, as well as the various actors and actresses who were in front of the TV and had not come to the scene, all started to get excited.
Everyone is envious of Da Mi Mi's achievements this year. Da Mi Mi has also become the actress with the highest cumulative box office in China, with a cumulative box office of over 5 billion.
From now on, when you go out, everyone will call you "Five Billion Movie Queen", and she will be a veritable movie queen.
When other people star in films, they will take into account the box office of films in which they are in the third, fourth or even fifth, sixth or seventh place.
The big power is different, her roles are at least second time, and she is the absolute leading star in "Gravity", which has the highest box office.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one person alone can handle a box office of 2.1 billion in the mainland and a box office of 481 million US dollars in the world.
Everyone is envious of the big power, but everyone wants to cooperate with Zhang Hao even more.
It’s unlikely that the next movie will be a powerful one-man show, right?
The highest award at the Shanghai Film Festival is the Golden Goblet Award. Perhaps because it felt that winning the Best Director and Best Actress awards for "Gravity" was enough, this award was ultimately given to the Greek film "Little England."
Everyone was happy with this award-winning situation. Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi received personal honors, and other participating films also gained.
The award ceremony is over, but the media and netizens will be busy for a while afterwards.
"Southern Metropolis Daily", which has always stood against Zhang Hao, commented on this Shanghai International Film Festival the next day: "Looking at this Shanghai International Film Festival, it completely failed to ignore the box office as Gong Li said.
Impact.
The film "Gravity" can actually win a heavyweight award, which in itself will affect the credibility of the award."
Influential media hold this view, and the anti-Zhang Hao groups on the Internet are naturally rejoicing and waving flags. However, the group supporting Zhang Hao is larger than the group opposing Zhang Hao, so of course this view must be refuted.
"Penguin News" retorted: "Throughout the history of Chinese-language films, "Gravity" is an extremely special film. I even think the film deserves a Golden Goblet Award.
This film is an example of the perfect combination of business and art, and Zhang Hao once again proved that commercial films can also be made artistically."
"Beijing Daily" said from the audience's perspective: "What is a movie? It is a popular art, not a niche art with highbrow qualities."
This means that the movie must be liked and recognized by the majority of people. If someone invests 500 million to make a niche literary film, then the film industry is not far from decline."
However, the quarrels were only a small part. At this time, not many black men dared to commit crimes and go against the will of the gods.
The Shanghai International Film Festival is just an award that does not attract much attention and is not as influential as the three major European film festivals. Although it is also an international A-class film festival, it is nothing more.
The rewards of "Gravity" don't stop there. There will be many awards to come, but Zhang Hao won't be able to attend them all by then, as he is a bit busy.
