Chang Jihong is not surprised by He Xin's reaction. He was once a nominee for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, and the organizers of the past two Academy Awards have sent invitations to invite him to attend as a guest. Maybe in the eyes of others, this
It was an opportunity that was eagerly sought after, but he politely declined it twice in a row.
Perhaps the tone of his complaints was a little more intense today, so Sister Hong muttered: "Is it okay for you to be filming there?"
After all, the crew of "Seven Swords" is controlled by a Hong Kong person, and the behind-the-scenes team and more than half of the cast are from Hong Kong. Sister Hong is worried that he is being criticized by the crew.
Of course He Xin understood what she meant and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just complaining."
Sister Hong couldn't help but curled her lips. She thought He Xin was still brooding about what happened back then, and she was still sighing that this little guy actually held a grudge.
But he still couldn't help but tell him: "It's okay to complain in private, but remember to keep your mouth shut outside. There is a lot of controversy in this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award. Don't talk nonsense, so as not to cause misunderstanding."
"Look what you said, they have all nominated me this time, and I can't even praise them. How could I be talking nonsense!"
Hearing his tone of being satisfied with being nominated, Sister Hong was a little surprised and said: "Then you don't want to win the prize?"
"Uh... maybe I don't have much chance, right?" He Xin said with an expression of both uncertainty and expectation.
To be honest, he really didn't feel confident at all this time. The Golden Rooster Awards have always favored films with main themes, but it cannot be said that this is a Chinese characteristic. It is the same all over the world, and political correctness naturally has an advantage.
Just like "Green Book", "Adele's Life", "Spotlight" and other movies in later generations, whether they are Oscars or Cannes, they are inevitable.
As for Liu Wei, who was nominated together with him, apart from being an old artist, his starring role in "Mysterious Case" is itself a film with a main theme.
So despite the fact that he joked that he had a 50% hope when he answered a reporter's question just now, in fact, in his mind, he probably doesn't even have a 30% certainty.
"I think your chances are quite good this time."
Chang Jihong was completely opposite to his idea. Seeing that he still looked surprised, he said: "There has been a lot of controversy about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in the past two years, and the higher-ups also hope for reform. Although reform does not happen overnight, at least it must be
There must be changes. In fact, when the nominations were announced, discerning people would have already seen the clues."
As she spoke, Sister Hong wrung her fingers and analyzed: "Look, this nomination is unreasonable. For example, there are only two nominations for Best Actor, which means there are no double-yolked eggs in this award. And most of them
There are three nominations for the awards. I guess the jury will leave some room for it, but I am afraid that it will not be equal by then. As for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, there are four nominations for these awards. I am sure that they will be nominated by then.
Give me a double yolk egg..."
He Xin listened for a long time. What Sister Hong said seemed to make sense, but he didn't understand the inner connection between it and whether he could win the prize.
He couldn't help but interrupt: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. Think about what is the most criticized thing about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards?"
"Well, opacity, double yolk egg, black-box operation, main theme, these seem to be the main ones." He Xin thought about it.
"Such things as opacity and back-room operations can be found everywhere. Even if the higher-ups speak out, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. There is nothing we can do about it, so the only things that can be reformed are the double-yolked egg and the main theme.
As I said just now, Double Yolk Egg does not leave room for one-size-fits-all. And this theme cannot be moved at will, but fortunately there is no movie with a weighty theme this time. I have watched Liu Wei's "Mysterious Case",
Although his performance is good, the film is generally the same old movie with nothing new, let alone artistic quality.
I say you have a great chance of winning the award this time, and the key is this artistry. Chairman Wu publicly declared at the press conference that the Golden Rooster Award is the Expert Award; and the director of the jury, Zhong Chengxiang, said that "Mobile Phone" is not of high style.
If so, do you think they just said it casually? This just shows that this Golden Rooster Award is under the banner of artistry."
He Xin was stunned for a while after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fortunately, this was an entertainment article and not an official article. Otherwise, with his IQ, he would have overturned the game in less than ten chapters.
However, hearing what Sister Hong said was true, he couldn't help but get excited and said: "So, I have a great chance of winning the prize this time?"
Sister Hong snorted proudly and said, "So I want you to be careful in your words and deeds this time..."
As she said that, she glanced at Lu Xiao, who was also sitting in the passenger seat, and deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Just now at the airport, the last reporter asked you about Xiao Bailong being beaten. Just say you don't know and that's it.
Don’t say anything else.”
"I just said it's wrong to hit people. What's the problem with that?"
"This is not a question of right or wrong. This thing just happened last night. Who knows what else is hidden in it? You may not know it yet, but the investor of the drama "Little Fish and Flowers" is also Ciwen
Media!”
"..."
He Xin really didn't know, but he didn't expect that Ciwen's hand was really big this time!
In addition to the movie version of "Seven Swords" that he is currently filming, including the simultaneously shot TV series, there is also "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" which has been hyped for a long time and has now been launched. This time Ciwen is equivalent to Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng
, the masterpieces of Gu Long, the three most famous writers of martial arts novels, are rounded out.
But he really wanted to know more about this matter. His memory of this matter was already very vague, but one thing was very clear: this matter was the fault of those Hong Kong people from beginning to end.
The only thing he was a little confused about was how could Xie Biwang get involved? During the filming of "The Promise", he actually had a good impression of Xie Biwang, at least not as difficult as Zhang Baizhi.
While talking, they arrived at the hotel where they were staying. This time, Sister Hong was quite experienced. She specifically asked the driver to drive to the back door and entered the hotel through the staff passage. As one of the only most luxurious hotels in the city, this is also the designated location of the organizer.
At the reception hotel, there were many waiting reporters gathered in the lobby.
Entering a suite on the tenth floor, He Xin looked around and said with a smile: "Based on this level, it seems that this time is really promising, Ang?"
Sister Hong curled her lips and said: "What are you thinking? This is the room we rented by ourselves. The room arranged by the organizer is downstairs. The news of who is arranged in which room has been leaked for a long time. Reporters often knock on the door. I
After looking at it, I thought, forget it, I might as well get a room by myself and get some peace and quiet."
With that said, he took out a room card from his bag and handed it to Lu Xiao: "Xiao Lu, you can stay in that room."
"ah?"
Xiao Luzi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would be treated like this.
However, he did not dare to answer, and asked politely and respectfully: "Mr. Chang, what about you?"
"The organizer of my place also has arrangements. In fact, I am also afraid of those reporters, so I can only wrong you."
"No! No! Thank you, Mr. Chang!" Xiao Luzi then took the room card with both hands.
"As long as you don't mind being noisy, maybe someone will knock on the door in the middle of the night." Sister Hong said with a smile.
Then he said to He Xin: "Oh, by the way, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll ask the waiter to bring it directly to the room later."
"Whatever, as long as it can fill your stomach." He Xin said, lying comfortably on the sofa.
I boarded the plane early in the morning and landed at noon. After more than three hours of flying, I was really tired.
"That's easy. I haven't eaten either. It just so happened that the three of us ate together." Sister Hong said as she prepared to go out and order food.
Lu Xiao's greatest advantage may be that he can read eyes. When he saw this, he quickly volunteered: "Mr. Chang, I'd better go."
Chang Jihong originally had the intention of testing him and dismissing him, but she was not polite immediately. At the same time, she also specifically told him: "You can order whatever you want to eat, just remember your room card."
"Hey, I got it, Mr. Chang!"
After Lu Xiao went out, Chang Jihong went to sit on a single sofa next to him and said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite satisfied with this little Lu. You even brought him with you when you came here."
Sister Hong knew this temporary assistant as early as when she was filming "The Promise". Unexpectedly, after changing the crew, the temporary assistant He Xin found was actually him.
"This is also a coincidence, but Xiao Lu is indeed quite capable."
"If you think he is really suitable, then I will recruit him into the company and make him your full-time assistant."
When He Xin heard this, he immediately sat up from the sofa and hesitated: "Is this appropriate? Besides, I only need someone to help me when I'm filming. It's not necessary at ordinary times."
"Nothing inappropriate!"
This time Chang Jihong waved her hand resolutely, and her expression became serious: "You are considered a big shot now, but you don't have an assistant around you, and you always take advantage of the crew. This time
If you really win an award, you will be the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster double Best Actor. If it continues like this in the future, where will you put my face? People who don’t know think that I, Chang Jihong, am stingy and treat you badly..."
"No, Sister Hong, I don't want to. I..."
"Okay, this matter is not negotiable! Moreover, although this Xiao Lu is relatively innocent, he is still an outsider after all. I don't feel comfortable letting him stay with you all day long. Recruit him into the company and go through the necessary procedures.
You can feel at ease when using it this way!" Sister Hong said earnestly.
The so-called necessary procedures are confidentiality agreements and the like.
However, when he heard the meaning of Sister Hong's words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and said: "Sister Hong, have you checked him?"
"Of course, when you were filming "The Promise", I asked someone to inquire about it. Otherwise, do you think I can just let someone who doesn't know the details follow you?"
As she said that, seeing He Xin about to speak again, she waved her hands impatiently and said: "Anyway, don't worry about this matter. I'll find a chance to talk to him after dinner. Oh, by the way, does he drive?"
"Uh, yes!"
"That's good. If you don't want him to be with you, you can just let him be a driver in the company."
