Chapter five hundred and sixty-five new goals, the first director of China
In late September, a studio in the northern suburbs of Beijing
Wearing sunglasses and a mask, Zuo Le quietly took his assistant Feng Ye and followed a staff member through the shooting set, preparing to go to the crew lounge.
But there is never any order in any film or television shooting scene.
There was a lot of noise and confusion.
Messy scenes are the basic norm on set, and even the Shanhe crew is no exception.
However, due to the internal rules and regulations of the Shanhe crew and the high professional level and quality of the crew, the level of chaos will be less severe than that of ordinary crews.
The studio Zuo Le came to today occupied nearly two-thirds of the studio because it had a hospital scene.
In order not to damage the scene facilities, a large number of cast, crew, machinery and equipment were squeezed into the remaining one-third of the space.
There are many people on the small land, so the scene on the set is quite chaotic.
Zuo Le was busy walking and didn't pay attention. His feet got caught on a wire and he bumped into two actors who were preparing for the scene next to him.
The two actors are a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They look young and look like they are playing a doctor and a nurse based on their makeup.
The actor was physically strong, but he staggered. The actress was thin, and she was able to withstand Zuo Le's head-on collision. She was directly hit against a road box next to her, clutching her shoulders and showing pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the thread under my foot. Is it okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Seeing this, Zuo Le quickly put his hands together to apologize and wanted to take someone to seek medical treatment. However, the actress covered her shoulders to calm down for a while, shook her head, and said she was fine.
Hearing this, Zuo Le breathed a sigh of relief, but the actor on the side was a little angry and scolded the actress to defend her.
"It's just a little bit of open space. Why are you in such a hurry? It's okay. If we do get into trouble, you can afford to pay for it."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I must pay attention to it in the future. I'm really sorry this time."
The actor's tone was harsh, but he made sense. Zuo Le was not angry and apologized sincerely.
Actually, Zuo Le cannot be entirely blamed for this, the main reason is that he made an appointment with someone before, but the plane was delayed and there was a traffic jam on the road, so he arrived nearly three hours later than the agreed time.
Seeing the place, Zuo Le felt apologetic about being late, and his steps speeded up unconsciously.
We happened to catch up with such a chaotic shooting scene, and accidentally bumped into someone.
However, what the actor said was right. Fortunately, he didn't encounter any big problems.
If we bump into an iron frame, hit someone, or cause any other serious accident, the media will have no shortage of headlines tomorrow.
This is not alarmist, accidents like this happen to crews every year, and injuries and deaths are not new. Some well-known artists have suffered huge losses due to this.
Seeing Zuo Le's sincere apology, the actor felt relieved, but he still wanted to say something flattering and show off.
At this time, the actress seemed to have recognized Zuo Le's identity, and tugged on the actor's clothes, frantically reminding him.
The actor was still a little confused, but Zuo Le saw the actress's little move, thought about it, took out his phone, and said to the two of them.
"What happened today is indeed my fault. I still have some things to do here. Let's add Fetion. I'll contact you when I'm done."
"No need...well..."
As a well-known star, the actor instinctively wanted to refuse someone else's initiative to add Fetion, but the actress immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
Zuo Le was fully armed, and there were many people around him. After the actress stopped the actor, she did not directly reveal Zuo Le's identity with a wink, took out her mobile phone, and addressed her with the honorific "you".
"You can add me directly, and I will push your Fetion to you."
Zuo Le nodded, finished the operation on his mobile phone, shook his mobile phone: "Chat back."
"Let's talk back to you, you are busy first."
The actress replied with some respect, Zuo Le nodded to the actor again, and then left with Feng Ye.
Seeing the scene just now, the actor who was half-brained finally came to his senses and asked anxiously.
"Shui Xin, who was it just now?"
Actress Li Shuixin looked at the new friends who had just appeared on the Fetion list, raised her fists excitedly, and cheered a little. She was speechless when she heard the actor's question.
"You haven't noticed yet, Director Zuo, ah ah, I'm so happy. I've been added to Director Zuo's Fetion, and it's a private account. I really want to show off by sending it a scarf."
"Left...Left guide."
The actor's face turned pale, and he asked with luck and determination: "Is it the director Zuo Hongyu who made "The Wind in the Left Ear"?"
"..."
Li Shuixin was silent for a few seconds and cruelly exposed his fantasy: "It's Zuo Le, the director of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Bright Sword", the head of Shanhe."
The actor's face turned paler, his eyes were full of despair, and his voice was a little waggish.
"It's over, I'm done. I actually scolded Zuo Le in front of him. If my agent knew about this, I'm afraid she would have to eat me alive."
Seeing his scared look, Li Shuixin remembered that the other party was trying to help her just now, so she quickly offered words of comfort.
"Don't worry, such a big shot won't take these little things to heart. Director Zuo was very kind just now. He definitely doesn't have any ill feelings toward you, otherwise he wouldn't want your Fetion."
"Fetion, yes, I have to apologize to Director Zuo on Fetion."
The actor thought of a remedy. No matter how effective it was, at least he had a correct attitude and tried his best to restore his image in Zuo Le's mind.
"Okay, I'll give you my number right now."
Li Shuixin and the actor are acquaintances and have collaborated with each other before on other crews. Otherwise, the actor wouldn't have come forward just now. The two of them had already added Fetion to each other.
After a while, the actor saw the Zuo Le Feixin account card sent by Li Shuixin.
His nickname is [Beautiful Man Who Loves Crispy Meatballs], his area is Dongshan Quancheng, his avatar is that of a cartoon family of three, his parents vaguely resemble Tian Yan and Zuo Le, and his child is the Prince of Shanhe who was born with a mine in his family.
Ye Zuoxuan.
Most artists or public figures, due to work reasons, will have two private and work accounts. The work account is for external use, and the private account is for family and friends.
The above Fetion ID nickname and avatar are obviously not external work accounts. Zuo Le can use private Fetion to add two people, which also shows his sincerity in this matter.
The actor added Zuo Le's Fetion Messenger, but he didn't expect it to be approved immediately. He wanted to edit the apology message immediately, but couldn't help but click on Zuo Le's Fetion Moments first.
Zuo Le's Moments setting is dynamically visible for half a month, but in the last half month, he has only posted two Moments.
The first post in Moments was almost two weeks ago. It was a video that lasted only about ten seconds. It showed Zuo Le watching a football game with a lot of snacks on the table.
There is also an accompanying text [It’s raining heavily, so I’ll finish work early and take a break from the busy schedule to watch a game]
The second circle of friends is a picture from two days ago. The content is a photo of Zuo Le and Shui Miaomiao wearing costumes and holding flowers.
The accompanying text [Congratulations to Teacher Qishui for finishing the scene, taking a group photo (throwing flowers) (baring teeth) (laughing)].
As a veteran and serious scarf-obsessed actor, I vaguely seem to see this picture on Shui Miaomiao's scarf.
However, what Shui Miaomiao released at that time was Jiugongge, and she took a group photo with several "Qin Empire" crew members, and this group photo was just one of them.
After checking two WeChat Moments and satisfying his curiosity to pry into the great director's private life, the actor considered his words and sent Zuo Le a flying message.
………
Buzz~
In the lounge not far away, the protagonist happened to be still filming. Zuo Le was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. When he saw the message, he opened Fetion.
[Sorry, Director Zuo, I am Yang Yang, an artist from XX Entertainment. I was in a bad mood and had a bad attitude just now. I would like to apologize to you, Wan Wang Haihan]
"Yang Yang, it sounds familiar."
Feng Ye, who was sitting next to him, had already found out the details of the two actors from the crew and said after hearing this.
"Yang Yang is an artist who has just become popular in the past two years. She played the adult Jia Baoyu in "The New Red Mansion" before. The female artist was Li Shuixin, who also acted in "The New Red Mansion", and she was Xue Baochai."
"Good guys, one is Jia Baoyu and the other is Xue Baochai. This is a hospital or the Grand View Garden."
Zuo Le complained, but when he recalled the appearance of the two actors, the male was handsome and elegant, while the female was gentle and pleasant. Even in the entertainment industry, they were considered to be at a high level.
The plot of "New Red Mansions" was a mess, and the casting was not satisfactory, but there were still a few hidden gems.
Feng Ye saw that Zuo Le was very interested in the two of them, so he added: "That Yang Yang is Sha Yi and Shen Teng's junior brother, and he is the top student in the military art school of their class."
Military arts school bastard!?
Zuo Le was slightly startled. He was no stranger to this term. Shanhe artists Sha Yi and Shen Teng had both received this honor. It was said that his old acquaintance Hong Tao had also been a member of a military art school.
But now, Hong Tao has long become a big fat man, Sha Yi has become disabled bit by bit with Zuo Le's own eyes, and Shen Teng has become a popular comedian, using the fact that he was the school idol as a burden.
The tragic experiences of the three people made Zuo Le full of distrust in the value of this "military school idol".
He also put a big [?] mark on Yang Yang’s future appearance, suspecting that he will follow in the footsteps of his three seniors.
But then again, whether Yang Yang will be disabled in the future has little to do with him. The reason why he left Fetion was mainly because he was apologetic and wanted to find a chance to make amends.
Apart from other things, a second or third starring role in the Shanhe drama is already a great resource for young actors.
If it had been anyone else, let alone a bump, the fracture would have been worth it...
Zuo Le doesn't care if he loses money by throwing out two characters because of a small accident.
With his current status, he doesn't need to worry about everything, and he doesn't take the two leading actors to heart. He felt that he was destined to the two of them, so he gave them a push.
If the two of them don't have the ability to seize the opportunity, then there is nothing to say. But if they take the opportunity to take off, it will be a good story and a good relationship in the future.
Zuo Le and Feng Ye were chatting about Yang Yang, when the door of the lounge opened from the outside and two people walked in.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a peaked cap and a dark face. When he saw Zuo Le's bright smile, he immediately came over to shake hands.
"Director Zuo, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry."
"Hello, Director Hao, it's me who should be sorry. There was a small accident on the way, so I'm late."
Zuo Le apologized, but Hao Ning didn't care and kept welcoming Zuo Le's arrival.
Hao Ning, a famous Chinese film director, has previously introduced Zhou Yan, the director of "Sewing Machine Band", who is a representative figure of Mesozoic directors.
Hao Ning's status is similar to that of Zhou Yan, and even in terms of personal works, he is even better than Zhou Yan.
Before Zuo Le became famous in the film industry, Hao Ning was the person most vocal about succeeding Zhang Kaigang as "China's No. 1 Director". Now he can only be ranked behind Zuo Le.
However, in the minds of many senior movie fans, Hao Ning is a director more qualified to "succeed" than Zuo Le.
Although this guy is also from comedy movies, he has also made in-depth and highly acclaimed movies.
In the original "Northwest No Man's Land", both male leads were nominated for the Golden Dragon Award, and were shortlisted for "Best Director" and "Best Picture" that year.
Although only Hao Ning won the Best Director award in the end, it was able to cover the three most important Golden Dragon Award nominations besides Best Actress, which also proves the "quality" of this film and Hao Ning's strength.
The Golden Dragon Award has always been a fight between gods and gods, and because the judging panel changes every three years, the judging style of the judging panel changes frequently. The situation is basically a matter of rotation, and it is rare for someone to dominate the rankings.
Zhang Kaigang is known as China's number one director. He has been making movies for more than 30 years and has been nominated for no less than ten times, but he only won "Best Director" three times and "Best Picture" twice.
Zhou Yan, as a leading figure in the Mesozoic era, has only won "Best Director" and "Best Picture" once.
Hao Ning, won [Best Director] once.
The record for the most "Best Director" wins by a single person at the Golden Dragon Awards is three times, but the record was shared equally between two people.
One is Zhang Kaigang, and the other is a certain director who was popular in the 1970s and has now passed away.
The record for the most times a single person has won "Best Picture" is six times, and it is worth mentioning that the director who set this record has not won "Best Director" once, which is still a strange thing in the history of the Golden Dragon Awards.
Many people say that the movies made by Zuo Le have no problem at the box office and even perform very well. Although their reputations are not particularly high, they are not bad either.
Therefore, Zuo Le's only disadvantage is in terms of awards.
If he wants to unquestionably be the number one director in China, the two awards of "Best Director" and "Best Film" are gaps that he cannot ignore.
It would be best to bring out a few best actors and actresses, which would be more convincing. Of course, this is not a necessary condition, and it won't affect you if you don't have it.
To be honest, Zuo Le doesn't particularly value the title of "China's No. 1 Director".
To put it bluntly, this is a vain honor.
As the current "No. 1 Director in China", Zhang Kaigang does not have any title bonus, and he is not overtaken by other directors just once or twice.
The audience scolded him when it was necessary, and did not spare any respect for "China's No. 1 Director". They even scolded him more harshly than other directors.
Of course, this false name is not without its benefits, but compared with the pressure it is given, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
Now Zuo Le does not lack money, status, honors, and is not stubborn about being the first director.
But then again, in the field of TV dramas, Zuo Le has basically passed the test, and the record of the Golden Phoenix Award has been maxed out. He once had a dream of historical dramas.
Now that the "Qin Empire" series is launched, this dream is slowly coming true.
After "The Qin Empire" is completed, Zuo Le really has no goals in the field of TV dramas.
On the contrary, Zuo Le can still find some hope in the movie.
For example, the first director with a box office of 10 billion, the first with a box office of 20 billion, hitting the records of "Best Director" and "Best Film", becoming the number one director in China...
Zuo Le is not yet 35 years old and does not want to live a retired life now, so he has to find something to do for himself.
It doesn’t matter whether the goal is achieved or not, the key is to replenish yourself with motivation...
In fact, Zuo Le's coming here today is also related to his goal of becoming "China's No. 1 Director".
He chatted with Hao Ning for a few words and hurriedly greeted the other person who entered the door.
He is bald, somewhat skinny, has an amiable appearance, and exudes a special charm and sense of humor.
"Teacher Ge, long time no see."
