Chapter 303 I will tear down your stage so that you can't get off the stage
Since the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival is an international A-class film festival, the spectacle must be much better than the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.
Moreover, the host location is in the Magic City, and every leader present is more senior than the last.
In the Magic City Grand Theater, after the song and dance performance, the host began to introduce the leaders attending the film festival.
The mayor of Modu, who is also the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, came in person. This is not an ordinary border closure. It goes one step further and basically joins the cabinet.
The deputy mayor, publicity boss and others all stood up to pay their respects. Fortunately, no one spoke in a long paragraph, only one deputy mayor delivered a speech.
As usual, after the opening ceremony, directors who have made outstanding contributions to Chinese films will be recognized, which is the Special Contribution Award for Chinese Films.
"...Without exception, they are all adherents to the most persistent dreams and defenders of humanity. Let us be very honored to announce to you next!
The winner of the Outstanding Contribution Award to Chinese Film at the 14th Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival is...
Famous directors Ma Xiaogang and Li Qian!"
Another host repeated it again with news, and then the big screen was divided into two parts and played twice, respectively, a collection of Ma Xiaogang and Li Qian's previous movies.
Hearing his name as expected, Ma Xiaogang was about to stand up and greet the guests, but then he heard Li Qian's name coming out of the host's mouth, which stunned Ma Xiaogang who had just stood up.
Tied?
Grass!
The name of a plant flashed into Ma Xiaogang's mind, but in order to avoid embarrassment, he still greeted the guests around him as usual.
After playing the highlights for more than a minute, the host said bluntly, "Every filmmaker we are familiar with, and the films and scenes we are familiar with. The works of directors Ma Xiaogang and Li Qian can be said to be well-known. They
It is not allowed to elaborate on the achievements.
Director Ma Xiaogang took in a box office of 1 billion last year, and director Li Qian's apocalyptic science fiction film "I Am Legend" also set a new box office record for Chinese-language films. Two directors who are loved by audiences have made great contributions to Chinese-language films in the past year.
made a crucial contribution.
Ladies and gentlemen, let us now welcome Director Ma Xiaogang and Director Li Qian!"
After Ma Xiaogang hugged Fan Binbin next to him, he shook hands with Zhang Guoli and walked onto the stage.
However, I met Li Qian in front of the stage.
"Please, Director Ma." Li Qian smiled.
As the successor of socialism, Li Qian has been a good student since he was a child. Of course he will not forget the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and takes the initiative to let Ma Xiaogang go up first.
"snort."
Last year Wu Yusen won the Outstanding Contribution Award to Chinese Films, followed by Cheng Kaige, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Manyu, Xie Jing, Li An, Zhang Yimou, and Cheng Long. They are all filmmakers who will write in the history of Chinese films in the future.
Although this award is not the best director, it also represents the recognition of itself from the only international A-category film festival in China.
But he had to tie with Li Qian to win an award. Ma Xiaogang, who was already unhappy, saw that Li Qian didn't show any surprise on his face, and realized that he might have known about it for a long time, which made him feel even more unhappy.
Li Qian shrugged. He knew before he came that the boss of the Demon Shadow Group, Ren Zhongluan, was angry with him.
Amid the applause of the audience, Li Qian and Ma Xiaogang stood in the center of the stage.
The guests who presented the award were Qin Yi and Zhang Guoli.
Li Qian politely took the trophy from Qin Yi's hand, supported her and let the other two young people go down first.
The nearly 90-year-old artist had been making movies during the Anti-Japanese War, and the organizing committee was so full that they invited him to come all the way.
Teacher Qin Yi also had a hard life. When he was young, he was forced to commit suicide by another actor. He was forced to get married and was subjected to domestic violence after the marriage.
I finally got divorced and remarried, but as a result I contracted cancer in the 1960s.
As good fortune never comes in pairs, misfortunes never come singly. It was also in the 1960s that my husband suffered from alcoholism and gastric bleeding and fell ill in bed. Teacher Qin Yi took care of him at the bedside for more than 20 years until his death.
Moreover, during the special period in the 1960s, my son was frightened and suffered from schizophrenia. Teacher Qin Yi helped with bathing, washing his face, cutting his hair, and shaving until his son passed away a few years ago.
Suffering from cancer, I have taken care of two patients who cannot take care of themselves. One has been taken care of for 20 years, and the other has been taken care of for 40 years. Now he is 89 years old, still strong and optimistic, and his health seems to be good.
Moreover, she will also make a cameo appearance as an old palace maid in "The Legend of the Demon Cat" in the future. This film will probably be released in a few years.
Li Qian wondered whether he should ask the old man for advice on longevity secrets.
Teacher Qin Yi was older, so he went down first with the help of others.
After Zhang Guoli presented the award to Ma Xiaogang next to him, the host asked him to talk about this old friend.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guoli said, "Ma Xiaogang and I have never been friends. At best, we are just at odds with each other."
????
The host next to me was confused. He wouldn’t be so disruptive, brother!
Ma Xiaogang was also stunned, and his face fell instantly.
Li Qian was also confused. Zhang Guoli and Ma Xiaogang had been close friends for many years. How could they cause trouble at this time?
More than just a few people on the stage, Zhang Guoli's words were heard through the microphone by thousands of domestic and foreign filmmakers and the audience at the Magic City Repertory Theatre, causing a small-scale commotion and a flurry of discussion.
When everyone was stunned, Zhang Guoli continued: "In the early years, "A Sigh" won me the Best Actor Award at the Cairo Film Festival, but he took his wife there, not me. Do you have such friends?
I started a company with him. As soon as the company started to develop, he went to Huayang and became a shareholder. He was listed and I was delisted. Not to mention, he also used the subject matter I discovered first to film "Assembly".
"", just give me five small words at the end of the film, "Thank you Zhang Guoli". Do you have such a friend?"
Only then did everyone realize that what he said was irony and ridicule, and they burst into laughter.
Ma Xiaogang also had a smile on his face, but he obviously cared about it.
Li Qian glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye. When he came up from Zhang Guoli, his expression was a bit wrong. Logically speaking, he should have been smiling all the way, but he came up expressionless.
In public places, Zhang Guoli is basically the same as He Jiong from Xiangnan Channel. He is a good-natured person throughout the whole process and makes everyone smile when he sees him.
But why did he seem so uninterested when giving an award to his good brother Ma Xiaogang?
Looking at Ma Xiaogang again, it is obvious that he has lost his temper when faced with his good brother's jokes.
Ma Xiaogang is such a person. In his early years, he fawned over the big boys and followed behind them as a younger brother. He did not make fun of him. Making fun of him was commonplace. As a result, after he became famous, he was the only one who could make fun of others and could not tolerate others making jokes on him.
And Zhang Guoli, a good old man, is best at making jokes and making fun of himself.
However, a good friend was joking. Ma Xiaogang's emotions were so obvious that something was not right.
Suddenly, Li Qian had some clues. Before he sold his shell company to Huayang, there were rumors that he was planning to go it alone and start a company again with Zhang Guoli.
After all, they started a company together in 2003. As a result, Ma Xiaogang returned to Huayang's arms not long after, and Huang Zhongjun gave him a signing fee of 4 million, plus 3% of the shares. This share is now worth 300 million.
This makes sense. I wanted to leave Huayang and go it alone, so I asked Leslie Cheung to collaborate again. However, because of the cash of 200 million, I turned around and signed five more movie contracts.
After releasing the dove twice in a row, my good friend became angry.
Li Qian suddenly smiled and felt sorry for Ma Xiaogang, "Teacher Guoli has wronged Director Ma by saying this. On the second day of the new year, Teacher Guoli and his family went to Omen with Director Ma's family. This means treating you as a family."
ah."
???
Li Qian actually helped Ma Xiaogang speak up. This was a rare thing. Not to mention the filmmakers in the industry, even the audience was a little surprised. It was obvious that they didn't deal with it.
Ma Xiaogang suddenly had a bad premonition. He still knew the proverb of a weasel paying New Year greetings to a rooster.
Zhang Guoli answered, "Yeah, I finally asked me to go on a trip, but when I got on the plane, the plane leaked oil when it took off on the runway. If it hadn't made an emergency landing in time and was delayed by dozens of seconds, the consequences would have been terrible.
It’s unimaginable.”
After saying that, Zhang Guoli smiled again and said, "If we really fly, we will really become friends, the kind of friends who don't want to be born on the same day but want to die on the same day."
"Ha ha..."
Many people know this interesting story. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Xiaogang's studio was burned down by fireworks set off by others. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Guoli was invited to travel, but the plane leaked oil when it took off on the runway.
It's just that half a year has passed and nothing happened. At first, no one thought about it.
The atmosphere immediately heated up. As for whether Zhang Guoli deliberately vented his anger or enlivened the atmosphere, I am afraid only he knows.
However, Ma Xiaogang doesn't think so.
Listening to the laughter in the audience, I remembered that Zhang Guoli said all kinds of bad things about himself.
Especially when Li Qian and Zhang Guoli sang in harmony, Ma Xiaogang felt that they were deliberately colluding to embarrass him.
As soon as the company they started together started to take off, they left Zhang Guoli behind. Zhang Guoli won the Best Actor title but did not take him to the film festival. The original work of "Assembly" was about Zhang Guoli first discovering that the project he planned to do was used by himself. This is clearly saying
It's your own fault.
When Zhang Guoli was invited to travel, the plane leaked oil as soon as it took off. Doesn't that clearly mean that he had never done any good deeds? It was rare that he did any good deeds and almost killed Zhang Guoli's family.
In just a few seconds, Ma Xiaogang, who already had low self-esteem and was sensitive, had already made a conclusion.
His face became more and more ugly, but there were thousands of people present, so he could only endure it. On the stage, it was like a thorn in the back, and he felt that he could not get off the stage.
Li Qian still had a standard smiling face until he stepped off the stage.
I really came to the right place this time. I was a part of the crowd and watched a show.
Zhang Guoli also smiled when he stepped down, although he was a little angry in his heart, angry that Ma Xiaogang let himself go again.
But having been good friends for more than ten years, it was enough to just joke around and get angry.
However, Ma Xiaogang couldn't laugh anymore.
It was bad enough to meet Li Qian on the red carpet before the opening ceremony, but to win an award and tie with Li Qian was even more infuriating.
Zhang Guoli acted strangely again and even sang harmony with Li Qian.
The anger accumulated in my heart had no place to vent, and it became even more uncomfortable to hold it in.
