Chapter 52 The first award in career (please recommend, please collect~)
"What projects is Director Zhang busy with recently?" Zhou Xun asked.
"The new movie, "Genius Gunman", is currently filming on Hong Kong Island." Zhang Hao replied.
Zhou Xun squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "If there is a project, actors like us who don't have roles should be considered!"
"Wow," Zhang Hao said something was wrong: "Brother Xun, what you said is wrong. "The Wind" starring you is still in theaters, and it is about to surpass my "Manslaughter" at the box office."
"Who would be dissatisfied with the lack of projects? They're afraid that they won't be able to take on any projects."
"That's true..."
Zhou Xun has a straightforward personality and does not mince words about the difficulties faced by actors. Currently, Zhou Xun has transformed from a former TV star to a movie star. In this era, movie stars generally will not act in TV series anymore.
This is true for three representative actresses including Zhou Xun, Li Binbing and Fan Binbing.
But the problem is that there are many actors but few good film projects. Mainland actors also face the dilemma of being cast as supporting roles for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. This is a situation where there is more monks and less meat.
Therefore, celebrities from all walks of life do not hesitate to use various means to make friends with famous or potential directors.
Zhang Hao belongs to that kind of director who has potential and is already famous. He is a high-quality resource in the film and television industry.
From this aspect, it is not difficult to understand why both Xu Qing and Da Mi Mi are very enthusiastic about Zhang Hao.
Zhou Xun chatted with Zhang Hao for a while and then went back. Then, other actors and directors started talking to Zhang Hao. Some of them were known to Zhang Hao, and some were unknown to Zhang Hao.
This occasion is also a good opportunity to expand your network. You can become familiar with the big names in the film and television industry, and there will be many opportunities for future cooperation.
Xu Qing chatted with Yu Feihong: "I can't tell, but our director Xiao Zhang is quite popular."
"Of course, our young director is young, handsome and talented, so he will definitely be popular." Yu Feihong looked at Zhang Hao and said.
Xu Qing touched Yu Feihong with his shoulder: "Hey, how about you talk to Director Zhang? I see the way he looks at you, he still likes you very much."
Yu Feihong glared at Xu Qing fiercely: "What are you talking about? How old am I, how will others see me if word gets out? Director Zhang will definitely not be happy."
"What are you afraid of? The female junior is holding a gold brick. You are so much older than him, and he can carry a gold mountain back home. Besides, with your help, his future development will be much smoother." Xu Qing didn't take it seriously.
.
"Forget it, when it comes to being suitable, Li Qin is more suitable than us," Yu Feihong said.
"That's true," Xu Qing sighed as he looked at Li Qin chatting with Zhang Hao: "It's great to be young. If I were ten years younger, I wouldn't have these little girl things."
Yu Feihong stopped talking. Age is an eternal taboo for a woman.
What she is most afraid of now is hearing people say that she is old and old. She cannot accept that she is so beautiful and is on the way to withering flowers.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the 27th Golden Rooster Awards officially kicked off. Host Zhang Guoli came on stage and performed a talk show, connecting the award-winning works and celebrities.
"Is Zhang Hao here?" Zhang Guoli asked on the stage.
Zhang Hao stood up and waved to the surrounding guests and audience. His appearance aroused applause and cheers from the audience in the distance. Everyone likes to see the handsome guy.
Zhang Guoli joked: "When I heard that a director under the age of 23 had made a film with a box office of 156 million, my first reaction was that you were lying, but when I saw you in person, I believed it."
"Hahahaha..." Everyone whispered in coordination.
Zhang Hao also laughed and signaled to the audience that he had celebrated his twenty-third birthday.
Zhang Guoli said: "Isn't it a young man's birthday? What's the difference between twenty-two and twenty-three? He's still handsome."
Zhang Hao nodded repeatedly, admitting that what Teacher Guoli said made sense.
After some banter, the awards ceremony officially began. Generally, award ceremonies have a highlight at the beginning, and the Golden Rooster Award is no exception. The award for Best Supporting Actor starts right off the bat.
Being far away in Hong Kong Island, because the director Zhang Hao was not around, it was not difficult to shoot the scenes and the work ended very early. Everyone went back early to watch the awards ceremony to see if the director could win the award.
In Da Mi Mi's room, Tan Songyun was also there, watching the award ceremony with Da Mi Mi.
Seeing Zhang Hao's shot, Tan Songyun said: "The director looks pretty handsome when you look at it like this."
"What?" Da Mi Mi disagreed and said, "Does it mean he's not handsome on the set?"
"No," Tan Songyun quickly shook her head and said, "He is handsome, but he is very fierce. I am so scared."
Zhang Hao is usually very serious and demanding on the set, which makes these young actors who are new to the crew feel pressure. This is normal. The director is the core of the crew and is responsible for the work of the crew.
It was difficult for those young freshmen and puppet directors later to understand that in front of a top director, even a big-name star would have to be scolded.
Although Zhang Hao is not yet a top director, there are no big-name A-list stars on the crew, right?
The award ceremony continued, and the Best Supporting Actor was won by Wang Xueqi from "Mei Lanfang". This is a veteran actor with outstanding acting skills. This is also the first time he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor.
"Mei Lanfang" is a film directed by Chen Gege. It brings together many big names to tell the story of a generation of Peking Opera masters.
This can be regarded as the latest film that Chen Gege has been able to produce since the bad movie "The Promise".
Zhang Hao secretly looked at Chen Gege's expression while applauding. He seemed to be in a very relaxed mood.
Later, someone said that "The Promise" is actually a good film, but the audience did not understand what the director meant. Zhang Hao believed that this was wrong. In the final analysis, the film is a popular art for the audience.
If it is just the director's melodramatic self-expression, it is divorced from the essence of film art. No matter what kind of director's thoughts are expressed, a bad movie is just a bad movie.
Besides, the public’s eyes are sharp, and good works will naturally shine as they should after time.
But many years later, "The Promise" is still considered a bad movie by most people, which means that it is really a bad movie.
It seems that "Farewell My Concubine" exhausted Chen Gege's lifelong skills. After that, he rarely produced any good works. This "Mei Lanfang" is one of them.
The award ceremony continued, and several unimportant awards were awarded. The best children's film went to "Walking to School", the best documentary went to "The Battle of Taiyuan", and the best drama film went to "Incorruptible Officials Yu Jackie Chan".
After the three awards, there was another small highlight, the Director's Debut Award. The award guest was the older generation director Chen Guoxing.
He directed "The World". When this film was shot, eight foreign satellites were used for surveillance. I thought China had restarted the experiment, but it turned out that it was just a movie.
"Every year, many outstanding filmmakers emerge in our Chinese-language films, contributing to our country's film industry. Let's take a look at the directors nominated for the Director's Debut Award this year..."
The five award-winning works and directors were introduced on the big screen in sequence. When it was finally the turn of "Manslaughter" and Zhang Hao, it caused screams and cheers from fans in the distance, which shows how popular this movie is.
After the introduction, Chen Guoxing opened the envelope and read out the winner and the film: "The winner of the 27th Golden Rooster Award for Director's Debut is Zhang Hao for "Manslaughter". Congratulations."
The big screen camera showed Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao pretended to be very surprised, but in fact he was calm inside.
Zhang Hao stood up and hugged the people around him. Various sounds of congratulations were heard in his ears. The little girl Mai Mai kissed Zhang Hao on the cheek, which smelled like strawberry milkshake.
Along the way, I shook hands with the congratulators around me. When I walked to Zhou Xun, Brother Xun gave him a big hug and congratulated him on winning the first award in his career.
Chen Gege pretended to be an elder and said to Zhang Hao sincerely: "Congratulations, but remember not to be proud and complacent, and guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
"Yes, I will definitely remember it."
Along the way to the stage, Zhang Hao took the trophy from Chen Guoxing and delivered his acceptance speech.
"Thank you to the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards for recognizing me. This award, first of all, I would like to dedicate to my family. Last year, I said that I wanted to be a director and make movies, but I was treated as a young man's naive fantasy and a fantasy.
It is my family who supports me in pursuing my dreams and fully supports me. I want to say here, grandpa, grandma, and mom, I love you."
There was polite applause from the audience, and Zhang Hao continued: "I would also like to thank China Film and Bona for their strong support for me, thank the crew for their hard work, and thank the actors for their dedication.
Thank you, without you this award would not exist, thank you..."
