China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 282 Lin Xuan: Since you want to pursue excitement, then follow through to the end! (Please subscribe!)

"What do you mean by this? Do the judges dare not give me the award?"

"These people are arrogant and arrogant, and they are not soft persimmons. I will definitely give you awards, but I will also give you some trouble."

Lin Xuan suppressed his smile: "It's not a double-yolked egg, right?"

Originally, one award was for one work, but now it is divided into two, and the value of the award is naturally greatly reduced.

Doing so can both disgust people and send messages to higher-ups.

Chen Hong smiled and said: "You are right."

Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly, not expecting to be guessed by him.

"Double-yolk eggs are just double-yolk eggs. I wasn't planning on winning the grand prize. It's already an unexpected surprise."

"The best actor and actress is impossible. Best film and best director will probably go to you and Zhang Yimou, and the rest will be small awards..."

After analyzing all the awards, her face turned slightly red, as if it was dyed with a layer of sunset.

"You look at yours and I touch mine."

Several big directors walked and chatted back to their floors.

Movies with a higher probability of winning are circled.

Several big guys in the industry supported each other and left the restaurant drunk.

Chen Kaige took out his cell phone and dialed, but no one answered after beeping for a long time.

"He is a big star with tens of millions of fans. The movie can make money just by relying on the support of such fans."

Chen Hong’s memo records all the nominations for this year’s Golden Rooster Awards.

"It's okay. Their old classmates are having a party. They are probably all drunk."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Then let's go together. Although this guy is not here, we can't avoid him when we chat."

Several people came outside the room and knocked on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time.

"There are more and more of these fan movies, which is detrimental to the development of the film industry."

Chen Hong turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, then continued her analysis.

"Hey, where is Chen Hong?"

"It's really strange. He hasn't read a book, let alone a film school. How can he make a hit movie?"

Chen Hong turned around and took the initiative to cater to her.

Chen Hong took out his notebook and looked through the notes.

"Lin Xuan! Are you asleep? Open the door!"

"On the first floor with us."

"The competition for best art is not "Heroes", I think the best scenery award is quite promising... Hey, don't move your hands."

The organizing committee also arranges the rooms based on the food orders.

Li Shaohong didn't drink too much and still remembered things clearly.

"The phone can't be reached. Which floor is Lin Xuan's room on? I'll go find her."

"Okay, don't rub salt into my wounds."

Lin Xuan stood up and sat next to her.

Chen Kaige looked around and found that his wife was missing.

The rooms of participating leaders and directors are all suites, concentrated on the upper two floors.

"She was called away by Lin Xuan while she was eating."

…………

There are not many good directors in this group, and bad images instantly come to mind.

Chen Kaige's face was livid, and he knocked on the door much harder.

As soon as the cold wind blew, everyone became more awake.

"You're crazy, Lao Chen is still outside."

Late at night, the reunion of Nortel's 78th class ended.

"Hahaha!"

"Shaohong, do you regret throwing away such a big cornucopia?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yimou was mostly awake from alcohol and quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"There is also a memo, let me take a look."

Lin Xuan's words took off her guard.

Although Lin Xuan is a young director, he has the aura of a director worth 200 million, so his room is on the same floor as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong and others.

God bless me, don't let anything happen!
"Hey...Lin Xuan...you're sleeping...we're outside the door...come here and open the door."

He didn't mention Chen Hong, because looking at Lao Chen's expression, he wouldn't be relieved unless he went in and took a look.

After a while, Lin Xuan opened the door.

"Director Chen, Director Zhang, Sister Shaohong...what's going on."

He was wearing pajamas and yawning, looking like he had just woken up.

"Is Chen Hong here with you? I searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her. Shaohong said she came to your place."

Chen Kaige stared into his eyes as he spoke.

"I've been here. I just had something to do with Sister Hong, but she has gone back long ago."

Lin Xuan's expression suddenly became serious: "She is missing?"

Just as Chen Kaige was about to answer, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hey... where have you been... taking a shower in your room... ok, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, several people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I drank too much and my mind began to wander.

For a young man like Lin Xuan, even if he plays, he only plays with his peers. How is this possible?

"I disturbed your sleep."

"fine."

Lin Xuan smiled and waved.

Seeing that several people smelled of alcohol, he casually said: "You must have drank a lot tonight, why don't you come in and have a glass of water?"

"Okay, I happen to be thirsty."

"I didn't drink much. You know how much I drink."

"I even talked about you during the dinner party."

"Yeah, I knew I would ask you to come with me."

Lin Xuan welcomed a few people in and asked his assistant to come over and make tea.

"I'm not even an alumnus of your 78th Nortel gathering, so I can't get a word in."

"You are now a big director of commercial films, why can't you get a word in?"

A few people sat on the sofa and chatted casually.

Chen Kaige asked: "Did you have something to do with Chen Hong just now?"

"Nothing, just asking about the award."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Chen Kaige nodded silently and asked no more questions.

It would hurt my self-esteem to continue talking about this topic.

If Chen Hong can find out the information, they will definitely be able to find out.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards were won by two commercial films, "Xiu Chun Dao" and "Hero".

On the other hand, Lao Chen's "With You" was negligible at the box office, and its artistry was barely interesting.

This state of being neither high nor low is the most embarrassing.

I can be shortlisted for every film festival, but it's almost impossible to win an award. It's just a sideshow.

There is no benefit to be gained from either end.

Now the door to commercial films has been opened.

Seeing Lin Xuan and Zhang Yimou making a lot of money from movies, everyone present was very excited.

As it happened, both of them were there, and the conversation quickly turned to movies, commercial movies to be precise.

Before Lin Xuan and Zhang Yimou, the best commercial film director in the mainland was Feng Xiaogang.

But the box office of his movies hovers around 50 million.

This little money is not enough to impress them.

When Zhang Yimou and Lin Xuan took action, they directly broke the box office ceiling.

In one year, one movie had a box office of 200 million, and the other one had a box office of 300 million.

Such generous rewards finally made their hearts move.

Zhang Yimou doesn't keep anything to himself and openly shares his understanding of commercial films.

He believes that if you want to have high returns, you must have high investments.

Look at the cast of "Heroes."

Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Chen Daoming, Lin Xuan, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi...

The all-star cast has an almost global reach.

With these people around, it would be difficult for a movie to have a low box office.

Lin Xuan also said a few words casually, but he was more of an audience.

Lao Mouzi drank a lot and talked a lot. He couldn't get a word in at all. And even if he doesn't agree with the idea of ​​high investment and high returns, these people won't believe it.

Lin Xuan and Zhang Yimou, they must believe the latter.

Knowing that it was a thankless task, he simply remained silent.

Anyway, it’s not his money that ends up being lost.

…………

The few of them got excited about chatting and ordered room service to continue drinking in Lin Xuan's room.

It wasn't until early in the morning that I couldn't hold it any longer before I got up and said goodbye.

By the time Lin Xuan got up, it was already noon the next day.

After washing up, he went to the restaurant to eat and found Chen Hong sitting alone in the corner.

Lin Xuan picked up some food and sat down opposite her with a plate.

"Don't do this next time, it scared me to death."

"What are you afraid of? You won't be discovered."

When Chen Kaige called her last night, the two of them were driving wildly on the highway.

The ringing of the phone startled them both.

Chen Hong didn't dare to answer, put on her clothes and left quickly, leaving Lin Xuan to clean the battlefield.

"It will be over if you are discovered." Chen Hong was helpless.

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Since you want to pursue excitement, then follow it to the end."

She had never heard of this joke, and said with lingering fear: "It's better to be calm, I don't want to be stimulated."

After lunch, the two left the restaurant together.

"By the way, what did you do last night? He didn't go back to the room until early in the morning and he hasn't woken up yet."

"What can a few big directors do when they get together? They will definitely talk about movies. As successful seniors, I would like to give a few words to the young people."

Last night, in addition to talking about commercial blockbusters, we also talked about artistic films.

All of these people have won awards at home and abroad, but Lin Xuan is the only one left empty-handed.

These people suddenly felt superior and could not help but give some pretentious advice.

"Ignore them, rely on your old age and act like you are old."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Chen Hong thought Lin Xuan felt uncomfortable, but he didn't care at all.

With his ability, it’s not that he can’t make artistic films, it’s just that he simply doesn’t like them.

Only when he gets tired of making commercial films will he consider artistic films.

…………

In the evening, the crew gathered in Lin Xuan's room, waiting for notification from the organizing committee.

At about seven o'clock, the assistant received the call and everyone went downstairs and got into the car.

As an annual entertainment festival, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival never lacks attention.

Not only did the movie channel broadcast the entire event live, but tens of thousands of fans from all over the country gathered at the scene.

The people who come to the film festival are all actors and actresses.

These people are actors, not stars.

Therefore, the scene was relatively deserted in the past few years, and there were not so many fans.

It wasn't until Lin Xuan appeared that the film festival changed its flavor and turned into a fan meeting.

In addition to him, many fans of the leading actors of "Xiu Chun Knife" also came to support them.

Among them, Huang Shengyi and Liu Yifei have the most fans, and they have the potential of the new generation of four little actresses.

The car drove slowly to the red carpet, and the fans immediately screamed.

The leading actors stepped onto the red carpet and interacted enthusiastically with media fans.

The men in the crew all wore suits, while the ladies were in full bloom.

Li Bingbing wore a silver high-cut dress, taking a noble and cool route.

Liu Yifei looked cute and cute in a Dalmatian white dress.

However, the most conspicuous among them was Huang Shengyi.

At Lin Xuan's suggestion, he put on the Ming Dynasty women's clothing in the play, looking dignified, elegant and noble.

The cameras on both sides were focused on her and they pressed the shutter frantically.

When the crew passed the red carpet area, Lin Xuan said:

"How about it? My suggestion is good, right?"

Huang Shengyi smiled and gave a thumbs up.

She was initially skeptical, but she didn't expect the eye-catching effect to be so good.

When it comes to walking on the red carpet, the comparison is weird. Asia is obviously lagging behind Europe and the United States in this regard.

Evening dresses from the Mainland, iron bangs from the island countries, and radiant skin from the sticks, these are still the same routines after so many years.

On the other hand, Europe and the United States are at least two versions ahead.

Fan Xiaopang is very smart and knows how to keep up with international standards. He appeared in Cannes wearing a "dragon robe" in 10.

Although he was mistaken and ignored, the news spread back to China and attracted a lot of attention.

Later, the foreigner discovered that he had mistakenly admitted the wrong person and made a mistake. However, a strange combination of circumstances made her famous abroad.

This "Oriental Lucky Cloud" is also collected by the British National Museum.

Xiaopang got the bonus and came again the next year.

This time she appeared on stage wearing a crane red dress and holding an egg in her hand.

It's a pity that the designer doesn't know much about French culture. He doesn't know that crane is an evil bird in France, and the word means "whore", which is similar to the ambiguity of chicken in Chinese.

…………

After the interview, the crew walked into the venue and took their seats.

Most of them were attending the film festival for the first time and were a little nervous.

Sitting in an upright posture and with a stiff expression, he was afraid that the camera would come over him.

This is a national live broadcast. If something happens, it will be embarrassing in front of the whole country.

On the other hand, Lin Xuan and Hu Jun looked normal and had calm minds.

The two of them are regulars at film festivals, and Hu Jun is only one step away from winning the Best Actor Award.

Lin Xuan slumped on the seat, crossed his legs carelessly, and almost took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket.

It’s a pity that Dior’s couture suits have no pockets at all.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the award ceremony officially started.

This year’s host Li Yong took the stage to make the opening remarks.

The first awards are small awards such as best art, best scenery, best makeup, and best recording.

The best art and sound recording is "Hero", and the best setting and makeup is "Xiu Chun Dao".

This year is the first year for mainland movie blockbusters, and these two movies are in full swing.

The disaster relief movie "The Storm" starring Li Youbin won the best cinematography and best special category.

Lao Li Tou is really awesome. Even if Lin Xuan cuts off "Bright Sword", he can still produce a lot of excellent works.

Huang Shengyi missed out on the Newcomer Award and was so disappointed that she almost lost control of her expression.

Lin Xuan gave many warnings beforehand, and he must pay attention to his expression management.

Because every time the awards are announced, the camera will be shown to the losers.

If anyone fails to control his expression and is caught by the camera, all dignity will be lost.

The directorial debut award went to the literary film "Warm Spring" and the "Beijing goddess" Xu Jinglei's "My Dad and Me".

Xia Yu and Yu Nan won the Best Actor and Actor, and Zhang Yimou's "Hero" defeated Huo Jianqi's "Warm" to win the Best Director.

"Hero" is the biggest winner at this year's film festival, a direct win.

Finally, it’s time for the last award, Best Feature Film.

The presenters were Zhou Xingxing and Ge You.

"The film that won the 23rd Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film is."

""The Stormy Waves" and "Warm"..."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan was momentarily confused.

My grand prize is gone!

Before the disappointment could brew, Ge You continued: ""Embroidered Spring Knife"!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

These people are really good at causing trouble. If a double-yolk egg is not enough, a three-yolk egg is also available.

The directors of the three films took the stage together to receive the award.

Thank you to the crew, the organizing committee, the audience, and the government.

Lin Xuan was too lazy to be sensational. After thanking those who should be thanked, he walked off the stage with the trophy.

"Touch me!"

As soon as she sat down, Liu Yifei couldn't wait to reach out.

Others also looked excited and envious.

"Be careful not to knock off the paint."

"Stingy, it's so easy to get bad."
