Chapter 47 Circle Culture (please recommend, please collect~)
While Zhang Hao was busy preparing for "Genius Gunslinger", the 27th Golden Rooster Awards in 2009 announced the nomination list.
This year's Golden Rooster Awards is full of strong players. Films such as "Assembly", "Mei Lanfang", "Li Mi's Conjecture" are all shortlisted for this year's Golden Rooster Awards.
Among them, there is a special film that was shortlisted for four awards, that is "Manslaughter".
"Manslaughter" was shortlisted for four awards, including Director's Debut Award, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.
Guo Tao was shortlisted for Best Actor, and Xu Qing was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress.
As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of people in the industry.
Although Zhang Hao achieved good results in his first film, he is still a newcomer to the film industry.
Everyone is usually busy with their own affairs, and they haven't seen Zhang Hao very often. Most of them have heard about him in the news and newspapers.
This time at the Golden Rooster Awards, we can meet this legendary young director.
When he learned about the nomination, Zhang Hao was inspecting the filming location of XN in Australia. The scenes in XN will be completed in Beijing or Hong Kong Island, but a few outdoor scenes will be needed.
The second producer Chen Bowen went to communicate with the XN Municipal Government and rented local helicopters and other equipment.
Standing in front of the famous XN Opera House, Zhang Hao and deputy director Dong Chunzhi discussed the shooting method: "The landmarks here must be included, as well as the sea view in the distance, and a panoramic shot of the city from above."
"OK, I will communicate with the photography team later." Dong Chunzhi wrote down Zhang Hao's thoughts.
Assistant Tang Qianqian answered the call from China. After talking about the matter, she walked towards Zhang Hao: "Boss, China Film Group wants to know which award we want to win, and we need to do public relations work."
Zhang Hao thought about it and said: "Just the directorial debut award! Everyone only has one chance, just focus on this. By the way, ask Guo Tao if he has any thoughts on the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. I think his performance
Worthy of a Best Actor trophy."
"Okay, I'll call to communicate." Tang Qianxi walked aside to communicate with China Film Group again.
Dong Chunzhi smiled and said: "Congratulations to you, director. In fact, I think you are more worthy of the Best Director trophy."
Zhang Hao said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I'm still young and I will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, this year's competitors are quite strong. "Assembly" and "Mei Lanfang" are both good films."
"That's right..."
After returning from XN, with the cooperation of China Film and Bona, the public relations department of Haotian Studio immediately started the public relations work for the Golden Rooster Awards.
This year's Golden Rooster Awards will be held in Nanchang on October 17th. Judging from the guest list, the lineup is still very strong, including almost all first-line mainland directors and stars.
Even those from Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island came to participate.
Produced by Huayi and directed by Tsui Hark, all the starring cast of "Detective Dee: The Empire", which has already started filming in Hengdian, will attend. Including Liu Tianwang, Li Binbing, Liu Jialing, Deng Chao, Liang Jiahui, etc.
Other weekly news, Jiang Wenli, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Lu Yi, Fan Binbing and other first-line stars are also confirmed to attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.
Zhang Hao also paid special attention to being selected for the Golden Rooster Award for the first time. What a director looks at is not only the commercial box office results, but also the recognition of awards.
The reason why Guo Shi is a Guo Shi is because he has won too many international awards and is an internationally renowned filmmaker. Although, his success is inseparable from the works of teacher Yu Hua.
Without Teacher Yu Hua, except for the Olympic Games, the quality of his other works has seriously declined.
Nowadays, the reputation of the National Master is still very high, but don't worry, "Three Shots Surprise", the great success of the National Master's career is coming soon.
I don’t expect to have the status of a national director, but if I want to be a top director in the industry, box office awards are indispensable.
For this reason, Haotian Studio has specially allocated 300,000 yuan in public relations expenses, just to compete for awards, focusing on winning awards for director debuts.
Some people may not understand that as a professional film award, can the Golden Rooster Award be conquered?
As long as the people who select the awards are human beings, they will definitely be publicized.
Not only for the Golden Rooster Awards, but also for the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards, which are far away on the other side, public relations during the awards season are essential.
Asking the media to build momentum, giving small gifts to the judges, and strengthening the judges' good impression of your film cannot be done without spending money.
The famous Oscar public relations expert Harvey Weinstein once publicly stated that it will cost millions of dollars to be nominated for an Oscar award, and it will cost millions more to win an award.
In China, the situation has changed slightly. Money may not be spent too much, but favors account for a large proportion.
The directors of this year's Golden Rooster Awards jury are the famous older generation filmmaker Zhai Junjie, and the secretary-general Kang Jianming. Other judges include Yu Nan and Sun Chun, who are familiar to the audience.
Among the other dozen judges, four are filmmakers from Beijing Film Studio.
Although Zhang Hao has never worked at Beijing Film Studio, his grandfather has worked there, so he will naturally be regarded as one of his own by those who came from Beijing Film Studio.
In such a relationship, if there is not much difference between the films, everyone will definitely favor their own.
In order to ensure that he would win the award, with the help of Mr. San, Zhang Hao had a meal with several judges from Beijing Film Studio.
These judges patted their chests and said that this award must belong to Zhang Hao, and they would persuade other judges to vote for Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao was extremely grateful, toasted repeatedly, and even gave gifts after the meal.
There was no gift of money, money was too vulgar, and the judges all had artistic pursuits.
After that, the third master called Zhai Junjie, the director of the judging committee, to talk about home affairs and mentioned Zhang Hao by the way.
"Old Zhai, I have a young director here named Zhang Hao, you know that, right?"
"I know, the one who made "Manslaughter", I think the film is very exciting."
"The development of our country's film industry is inseparable from these talented young people. This world is ours and ultimately theirs. As elders, we must support the younger generations." What the third master said was high-sounding and absolutely correct.
Zhai Junjie on the other end of the phone said immediately: "Old Han, you know that I have always cared about the younger generations. Don't worry, I will communicate with the judges right now."
"That's great. Let's have a meal together when we have time. I'll call Zhang Hao too, so you can chat together."
In just a few words between the two big guys, the winners of several awards were determined.
Although it was still early for the award ceremony, Zhang Hao knew that he was already a sure winner this time.
The third master put down the phone and said to Zhang Hao: "Director Zhai and I talked on the phone. It's OK. There should be no problem with the director's debut award, but I may not get the best screenplay award."
Zhang Hao said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Han. I am very satisfied if I can win the director's debut award. I don't ask for anything else."
"It's okay, you're still young and you'll still have opportunities in the future." The third master was very satisfied with Zhang Hao's attitude and did not push too far.
Why did the Third Master help Zhang Hao so much, even selling favors to find someone to help him?
In addition to the close relationship between the Zhang and Han families, it is also because of Zhang Hao's achievements.
With the continuous rise of new forces, the influence of Beijing Film Studio, which was once a force in the entertainment industry, continues to fade.
The rise of Zhang Hao allowed Sanye and others to see a new heir to the Beijing Film Studio.
One can talk about a bad habit in the entertainment industry based on the sectarian view, and there is even a rumor that there are four major circles: Beijing Circle, Shanghai Circle, Hong Kong Circle, Northwest Circle, etc.
Needless to say, in the Hong Kong and Shanghai circles, the representative figure in the northwest circle is the National Master.
As for the Beijing circle, the core is the group of people from the big courtyard.
Even so, there are factions in the Beijing circle, including those from the Bayi Film Studio, those from the Beijing Film Studio, those from the film industry, and those from the TV drama industry.
Feng Dapao has always wanted to get closer to the Beijing circle, but until now, he is still a marginal figure. And Zhang Hao, because of his background, is naturally regarded as one of his own by the Beijing Film Studio in the Beijing circle.
In his previous life, by the time Zhang Hao came to prominence, the so-called social circle had already been shattered by the impact of Internet capital, and he could not borrow the power of the social circle.
But now, the circle culture is still in its heyday. Just like now, Zhang Hao can get his award by talking on the phone with two big guys from the Beijing circle.
