Chapter 823 It's the time of the annual Golden Horse again
"Love is broken for 33 days... Bao Qiongqiong!"
Fumino took the script with confusion, looked at the name and author on the cover, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "This novel was very popular on the Internet last year. I have read it."
"This is an urban love-themed script, and it is also one of our company's key projects for next year. The director has not been determined yet... Well, let's call it a proposition composition. If you are interested, I would like to hear your opinions.
The idea for this project.”
Although He Xin didn't say it explicitly, Wen Muye, no matter how slow he was, understood the subtext of his words and said with disbelief: "Teacher He, do you mean to let me participate in this project?"
Not only Fumino looked excited, but Song Wen next to him couldn't help but show envy, shock, and even jealousy. In addition to being a film festival curator, he is also a director. As a director, he can direct a feature film.
That's what he dreams of. He has shot countless music videos, commercials, worked in TV drama crews, and also made short films like Fumino, but he has never had the opportunity to direct a real movie.
He knew that He Xin was very optimistic about Fumino, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry to meet him, and he even took the initiative to recommend "Stone" to the Berlin Film Festival. But he never expected that He Xin would directly come up with a script.
, and it is also one of their company's key projects for next year. The most important thing is that there is a sentence in front of it: "The director has not been determined yet!"
The important point is that the director has not yet been selected. He wanted to jump up and say: "Mr. He, can you also give me this opportunity?"
Of course, he couldn't do such a shameless thing, but at the same time, he suddenly found that he didn't understand He Xin at all. Originally, he only had a good relationship with Ning Hao, and he could only say that he was acquainted with He Xin, but he was not familiar with him.
This time he came to the door through Ning Hao and said hello in advance. He explained the purpose of his visit and invited the other party to be the promotion ambassador of the FIRST Youth Film Festival. The other party readily agreed and seemed to be very talkative. After watching "Stone", he offered to help recommend it.
He seems to be very enthusiastic about participating in the Berlin Film Festival and is particularly willing to support young filmmakers and contribute to Chinese films.
But in the face of a college student who graduated from Pheasant major and has only made one short film so far, he actually intends to invite this rookie who has not really entered the industry to direct the key project that Xinhao Media is planning to develop next year. What the hell is this?
Is it too hasty?
Is He Xin stupid?
But don’t forget that Xinhao Media may be the only film company in the industry that has failed. The undefeated miracle has long become a myth in the industry. There are countless filmmakers who are eager to cooperate with Xinhao Media.
Just when Song Wen had mixed feelings, He Xin smiled and shook his head at Wen Muye: "It's too early to say participation now, and it doesn't just require you to participate. But before that, as I just said, this book
Think of it as a proposition composition, if you were the director of this book, how would you operate this project."
"..."
To be honest, Wenmu Zhili couldn't believe it just now. The reason was very simple. Why? But now He Xin made it clear. He looked at the script in his hand blankly and didn't know what to say for a while.
.
Did happiness come too suddenly?
Boss, are you just teasing me?
He Xin smiled when he saw this. He understood Wen Muye's reaction very well. When Wang Xiaoshuai asked him to play the male lead in a movie, his mood at that time was probably the same as Wen Muye's now. They were both in disbelief.
He even wondered if the other party had taken the wrong medicine.
He smiled and then added: "You don't have to answer me right away. After reading the book, if you are interested, you must at least give me and the investors of this project a convincing reason first."
Wen Muye suddenly raised his head, stared at He Xin blankly for a while, and suddenly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "Teacher He, I am very interested and very willing. Please give me this opportunity."
.”
Although he loves movies, deep down in his heart he always feels that he is separated from movies. What is a director? It means that the works he produces can be seen by others.
At first, his idea was very simple, just to make a short film and hope to find a platform to show it. He always felt that he was still far away from being a real director, and he was completely unprepared mentally. That's why he tirelessly applied for the postgraduate degree in the directing department of the Film Academy.
I want to enrich myself as much as possible and prepare myself to become a real director in the future.
He was originally very excited from the beginning. He Xin wanted to recommend his short film to the international stage. He didn't dare to think about whether it would win or not. He just thought that if he was shortlisted, he would be able to show his face at the Berlin Film Festival, and maybe he would take the film school exam next year.
Graduate students in the directing department may be more confident that they are one step closer to becoming a real director.
But now that the opportunity to become a real director was right in front of him, he couldn't believe it, and he even went to the point of losing his composure.
Xinhao Media's reputation has always been obvious to all, not to mention that it is their key project next year, which means it will definitely be released to the public.
It should be released in theaters. You must know that 90% of the movies produced in China every year may not be released.
Even if it is a proposition composition, even if he has not read the script, does it still need to be considered?
When he said these words, he was already swearing fiercely in his heart that he would seize this opportunity no matter what.
Of course He Xin wouldn't mind Wen Muye's gaffe, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course I'll give you the opportunity, but I don't have much time to prepare for you, uh... I hope you can give me a surprise before the year!"
When Wen Muye left, he might have thought he was in a dream. Song Wen, on the other hand, couldn't understand it. Maybe the gap between people is just that big.
…
"Brother, are you really planning to hand over "33 Days of Love" to that Wen...er, Director Wen?"
Also incomprehensible was Chen Zhixi. When she learned the news, she didn't even wait to go to the company tomorrow and rushed directly to He Xin's house.
He Xin carefully held his daughter and was walking back and forth in the living room. He glanced at the questioning rich second generation and chuckled: "What, you don't believe my vision?"
"Uh...Brother, you know that's not what I meant, but you have to at least give me a reason, right?" Chen Zhixi said with a frown.
"That's right, why don't you discuss such a big matter with Zhixi!" Cheng Hao came out of the bedroom and helped.
This time she also felt that her husband was a bit hasty and actually wanted to find a graduate with a major in radio and television directing to direct the movie "33 Days After Love" that Chen Zhixi valued very much.
"I'm just asking him to come up with a plan and take a look at it. I didn't say that he must be the director."
"Stop talking nonsense, you still want to recommend other people's works to the Berlin Film Festival, which shows that you recognized them early on."
In the final analysis, Cheng Hao understands him well, so why would he be so kind?
"Yes, why should I recommend it to him? It's because his works are good and very spiritual, and they might become a blockbuster!"
After saying that, he said to Chen Zhixi: "Don't worry, I don't have to do it with him. I just want him to come up with a plan first to see if he is sure about it. If he is not sure, he will be put on the crew as a deputy."
The director needs to train and train. Of course, if I am sure, I would still prefer to give him this opportunity."
Although the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" directed by Fumino later created a box office miracle, and in his communication with Fumino, he admired the other person's sobriety and understanding of current affairs, unlike some who just debuted and harbored some artistic ideals.
People are so ambitious, and what they say is always about art.
But "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is after all Fumino's work a few years later. At that time, he might have graduated from the film school's directing department with a master's degree and was more mature. So even though he was optimistic, he didn't dare to take risks. He had to watch it first
Let’s see if he currently has this ability.
Chen Zhixi felt a little relieved when he heard what he said, but she was still puzzled: "You are so optimistic about this director Wen...er, Director Wen?"
"Wen Mino! I advise you to remember this name. It will surprise everyone one day. Of course, if you don't believe me and still feel that Wen Mino is unreliable, you can withdraw your investment and just use the copyright to become a shareholder.
I’ll give you 10% of the share, what do you think?”
"..."
Chen Zhixi was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a smile on her face: "Brother, you are kidding me! Since you are so confident, it makes no sense that I don't have confidence? If nothing else, I am very confident in your vision!"
"That's it, why are you chasing me home?" He Xin couldn't help but said with contempt.
Chen Zhixi stuck out her tongue playfully: "Looking for an excuse to eat!"
As he spoke, he came over with a playful smile, clapped his hands towards the drowsy baby in his arms, and teased: "Seven pounds, come here, give Auntie a hug!"
Qijin, who was about to be one month old, was very sensitive to the reactions of her surroundings. She was startled by Chen Zhixi's slap while she was dozing. She opened her dark eyes, opened her small mouth and cried "Wow wow wow".
"Go, go, don't make trouble, I almost fell asleep... Oh, oh, be good Qijin, let's ignore this annoying aunt."
He Xin drove Chen Zhixi away with a look of disgust and hurriedly nudged the baby in his arms.
Cheng Hao, who had just walked into the bedroom, stuck his head out again: "Did you pee again?"
He Xin touched the diaper underneath, shook his head and said to the smiling culprit: "No, I was made trouble by the annoying guy."
Although diapers are now popular, Cheng’s mother insists that it is better for her baby to use traditional diapers, saying that they are breathable and protect the skin of the little butt. She even brought a lot of old cotton sheets from her hometown and sewed them up.
There are dozens of them. This kind of traditional diaper is very good, but the only side effect is that after 7 pounds, I eat a lot and poop a lot. As soon as I urinate, I feel wet and uncomfortable and cry. I have to change at least a dozen of them every day.
Twenty diapers. Now even He Xin, the first thing he does when he comes home is to help wash diapers.
"Ah ah ah, brother, why am I so disgusted?"
Chen Zhixi took the opportunity to act coquettishly and ran over to hold Cheng Hao's arm, insisting that she help with the evaluation.
Cheng Hao was helping He Xin pack his luggage at the moment and had no time to argue with her. He rolled his eyes at her and scolded her: "You have nothing to do when you are full?"
"Ah ah ah, you both bully me! Auntie..."
Of course, Cheng's mother welcomes this sweet-tongued girl. Especially when she heard that her family has a lot of money and is a rich second generation with a different status, but she is actually so sensible and polite, she likes her even more.
I saw her coming today, and she set up a large table of delicious food, and asked He Xin to open a bottle of Moutai for everyone to have a drink together.
"Brother, first of all, I wish you come back as an actor."
At the dinner table, Chen Zhixi first toasted to Ma Cheng, and then toasted to He Xin.
"Thank you for your good words!" He Xin touched her.
It's time for the annual Golden Horse Awards again. "The Piano", which was a hit in Berlin at the beginning of this year, once again won the 47th Golden Horse Awards for Best Film, Director, Actor, Cinematography, and Art Design, with a total of five nominations.
Once the nominations were announced, especially the two most eye-catching nominations for Best Picture and Best Actor, "The Piano" and its leading actor He Xin received the highest calls.
He Xin won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor just after his debut. Although he is the most popular this time, in terms of nominees, he estimates that he is about a 50-50 chance of winning with Mr. Wang Xueqi from "October Siege". Apart from Lao Wang's acting skills, he has nothing to say.
In addition, there is also the fact that Lao Wang has been shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards many times, and only won the Best Supporting Actor in the last award. In a sense, it is very unfair. If the Golden Horse Awards are good people, they should definitely compensate.
After being crowned Best Actor after a good supporting role, it can be regarded as a great story.
Even if He Xin won the Berlin Best Actor for "The Piano", he would still be convinced if he lost to Wang Xueqi this time. After all, acting is a matter of opinion when everyone's level is about the same. As for the other two nominees,
As candidates, Qin Hao in "The Night with the Spring Breeze" and Ruan Jingtian in "Monga" should not pose much of a threat.
He has watched both of these films. If Qin Hao's nomination is truly deserved, then Ruan Jingtian can only say that he has a local advantage. After all, they held an award in a big way, but he didn't even get a nomination.
It's inevitable that it's a bit unjustifiable, but at least this "Monga" also went to Berlin to make soy sauce at the beginning of the year, so it can be considered gilded.
Once upon a time, the Bay Area films at the Golden Horse Awards were completely beaten by Hong Kong films, but since Jiao Xiongpin served as the chairman of the jury last time, and Hou Qian Xiaoxian the last time, there is an increasing trend that it seems that the Golden Horse is deliberately focusing on
Promote local low-budget literary and artistic films.
For example, the local small-budget literary film won the three important awards of Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress last time. And Leon Dai's "Can't Live Without You" won the Best Film in one fell swoop.
and Best Director, it seems a bit ugly.
But how to say it?
Nowadays, the market of Wanwan Film has basically been occupied by the Hollywood films of their beautiful fathers. The protection of local small-budget literary and artistic films like Jiao Xiongpin and Hou Pianqian is like a shabby settlement that is in ruins.
He Xin is still very calm about this trip to Wanwan. He has already won the Best Actor once, and winning it again is just the icing on the cake. The only thing he is looking forward to is whether "Gang Piano" can finally defeat "October Siege" and win the championship.
Best Film Award.
Because in the eyes of the outside world, among the five films shortlisted for Best Picture, Bona's "October Siege" and "The Piano" are the most popular. The media said that the Best Picture Award at this Golden Horse Awards is likely to be
Boehner's Civil War.
Other shortlisted members of the "Steel Piano" crew, such as director Liu Meng and others, had already gone to Wanwan with the "October Siege" crew led by Yu Dong two days in advance. Because he couldn't let go of his daughter who was not yet one month old, he insisted on delaying it until November
On the 20th of August, he flew to Wanwan on the day when the half-month-long Golden Horse Awards celebration came to an end. Moreover, he went to attend the award ceremony the day before, and he had already booked a flight back for the next morning.
