"Well, there are many award ceremonies at the end of the year. If you don't want to go to some of them, forget it, but there is one you must go to, and that is the Golden Dragon Award." Li Lan also knew Lin Juan's temperament, so she solemnly reminded her at this time.
She was also a little helpless. Directors from other families wished they could attend more ceremonies, even if they were not invited. What about ours?
Why……
Golden Dragon Award?
Lin Juan was stunned, had he been shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award?
The Golden Dragon Award is the most well-known and recognized award in the Asian film industry. Its international influence is second only to the Oscars.
Lin Juan suddenly felt a little enlightened.
In the past, he sometimes watched TV and imagined that one day he could stand on that stage and receive his own award amidst the applause of celebrities.
That would be great.
Now the dream is starting to come true.
Lin Juan smiled warmly, as expected, if you have a dream, you should pursue it.
There is a bit of joy, a sense of completeness and a touch of satisfaction.
But surprisingly, he didn't feel too excited. It seemed that people were like this many times. Things that they had been pursuing so hard before seemed less exciting when they could get it.
This shouldn't be greed or lack of appreciation.
It's because we all paid too much in this process.
"Okay, I know Aunt Lan, how many awards have I been shortlisted for?"
"Let's see, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" won the 'Best New Director of the Year', 'Best Editing', 'Best Score', 'Best Cinematography', 'Best Screenplay' and 'Best Adventure of the Year'
The film's six nominations."
"In addition, there are three awards for 'Best New Actor' and 'Best Actor' for Zhang Shan, and 'Best New Actress' for Guan Xiaotong, for a total of nine nominations."
"The last one is the most creative award of the year for "Going Home" in the online movie segment."
Li Lan's voice was filled with a smile, and Lin Juan said in surprise: "So many?"
At the same time, he was secretly happy and regretful for Zhang Shan and Guan Xiaotong. According to the past pattern, only one of these two people should win the 'Best Newcomer' award.
As for 'Best Actor'...
The nomination makes sense, after all, the box office is there, "Old Pao" can be nominated...
And Zhang Shan's acting skills are not bad either.
But winning a prize is definitely not enough.
Compared with the older generation, Zhang Shan is still a bit young.
"Okay Aunt Lan, I understand."
"Well, the party will be held on November 10th. I don't think you are interested in the previous opening and movie viewing party. Just remember it."
"Yeah, I got it."
…
After hanging up the phone, Peng Yan asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Aunt Lan just informed me that "Journey to the Center of the Earth" has been shortlisted for several awards." Lin Juan said to Peng Yan and Han Xiaoxue with a smile.
"Which ones?" Peng Yan asked.
When Lin Juan mentioned the shortlisted awards, Peng Yan was immediately surprised.
This is ten awards!
Han Xiaoxue also stared slightly. This nomination is very scary in terms of quality and quantity.
"I guess it's just a few consolation prizes." Lin Juan said with a smile, his mentality was very stable.
"That's scary. I haven't even been nominated for 'Best Actor'." Peng Yan said with some envy.
"There will be." Lin Juan said with a smile.
Peng Yan thought about the current momentum of "Captain China" and immediately smiled with confidence.
"Okay, let's go to the next game."
…
"Director Lin, what are you doing?"
Returning to the hotel in the evening, Lin Juan was about to wash up when he suddenly received a call from Zhang Shan. His carefree voice came out as soon as he answered the call.
"Get ready to take a bath, what else can I do?" Lin Juan replied with a dumb smile, and then asked: "What's the matter?"
He is a little tired.
Every day when he comes back, he feels his body is hollowed out. Sometimes he doesn't even know which city he is in...
"It's nothing, I just want to thank you, Director Lin. I received a notification today that I was nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor. Hehe, by the way, Director Lin, have you made any progress with Sister Xiao Xue?" Zhang Shan said with a smirk, Lin Juan moved.
A meal.
Who leaked the news?
Peng Yan! It must be you!
"What's the progress?" Lin Juan thought about it and responded calmly.
"Oh Director Lin, do you think it's hard to see that? Your scandals are everywhere on the Internet. The fact that you appointed Han Xiaoxue as the heroine has been found out. Don't you even read the news?" Zhang Shan said with a bad smile.
Lin Juan:......
Is it so obvious?
"And last time on the set, you asked Xiaotong if the person she said she liked was Sister Xiaoxue?"
"You know too much, young man. It seems that I will find someone else for my next film." Lin Juan said jokingly with a helpless smile.
In fact, I didn't want to deny it at first, but I just instinctively didn't want to cause an uproar.
"No, Director Lin, I don't know anything. You'd better come to me. I'm always ready." Zhang Shan quickly begged for mercy and joked.
The performance of "Captain China" made him look forward to the superhero movie of his that Lin Jian had told him about.
"No rush, first congratulations on your nomination for Best Actor, and then you can tell me what the public is saying now?"
"Outside, you guys have been so popular during this period. Audiences and fans said that you looked at Sister Xiaoxue in a very sexy way, and then the media also dug up the fact that you appointed Sister Xiaoxue."
"There are also some photos, including that Sister Xiaoxue kept you when you went to Chenguang, Director Lin, etc."
"The scandals out there about you could write a novel."
Lin Juan:......
Suddenly, there was a sense of absurdity that the whole world knew what I thought was a secret...
"Director Lin? Are you still there, Director Lin?"
"Yeah." Lin Juan nodded, not interested in talking anymore, and said with a smile: "Then you can save the schedule from March to June next year. The script will be given to you later."
"Okay, then thank you, Director Lin." Zhang Shan said with a smile, sounding very happy.
"It's okay. Thank you. Okay, I'm going to take a shower."
"Well, then you can go ahead and I won't interrupt to pay my respects to Director Lin." Zhang Shan said with a smile, and he could feel that Lin Juan was not in the mood for small talk now.
"Well, bye, congratulations. See you at the ceremony."
"See you at the ceremony."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Juan thought for a while.
Forget it, just know it once you know it...
Anyway.
She should have known this already.
…
Continue the journey the next day.
Time passed slowly like this. Every day, Lin Juan, Peng Yan, and Han Xiaoxue were on the plane in the morning, checked into the hotel at noon, started preparing for the movie viewing party in the afternoon, and returned to the hotel in the evening.
During this period, Han Xiaoxue did not show anything strange.
Now Peng Yan can accurately know the next line of everyone in the movie and what will happen in a few seconds.
Watching a movie in which I act makes me sick.
I answer the same questions every day.
Fortunately, the box office gave him great comfort.
The further we go, the more terrifying the box office results of "Captain China" are. It has maintained over 100 million every day for seven days during the National Day. Seven days later, the total box office has reached 1.3 billion, breaking many records, such as the highest single-day box office record.
The fastest to break the one billion box office record.
Insiders' estimates for this movie are that the final box office will reach more than 3 billion, an enviable number.
