Chapter 969 963. Shelving

Some netizens took photos of Xu Xin with two kids, Wang Sicong and Wei Wei in a high-end restaurant.

However, it did not cause any big splash on the Internet.

During the meal, Xu Xin asked the couple how they wanted to shoot the documentary.

Is it for outsiders?

Or for themselves.

The answers were consistent:

"For myself, not for the public."

So, Xu Xin had an idea in mind.

The pay for this film is a king crab for the evening.

Wang Sicong was so stingy that he didn't even order a second one.

Xu Xin was not happy and thought his friend was stingy. But the young master thought it was simple.

It's like you can finish the second king crab.

Do you think it's noodles? Slurp a bowl...

...

"Xu Xin's Diary"

The 20th.

Saturday.

Sunny weather.

The day of the 2012 Directors Association Awards.

In the morning, take care of the kids.

At noon, I take care of the baby.

In the afternoon, the fairy sister came to the rescue and took care of the baby.

My dear.

…

"I found you are really awesome."

Looking at Liu Yifei who was playing with Yangyang in her arms, Xu Xin drew a circle on her face with emotion under her curious eyes:

"You are really like a balloon. If you say you are fat, you will blow up in an instant. If you say you are thin, you will become thin again in an instant. How did you do it?"

The fairy sister in front of him had no double chin, and her face, which was once as round as a pancake, became the size of a palm.

If you are fat... you will look old.

When we met after the Chinese New Year, she was as fat as an old lady.

But after she became thin, the fairy spirit on her face returned.

It was really amazing.

And Liu Yifei looked at his curious eyes and said in a very calm tone:

"The light boat has passed through thousands of mountains~"

It seemed as if she had experienced many unbearable things.

"I understand."

Xu Xin nodded:

"It seems that I have been chewing a lot of leaves recently."

"It's good that you know. Under the power of your wife, I, this rabbit, successfully turned into a cow..."

"Two years older?"

"..."

The fairy sister's mouth twitched.

Damn it, you are really a dog mouth that doesn't spit ivory, right?

So, she didn't bother to pay attention to Xu Xin.

She continued to hold the soft and fragrant Yangyang, letting Yangyang push around in her arms...

At this time, there was a commotion outside.

Xu Xin looked out and found that Su Meng and Wu Qiqi came in with a group of people.

"Okay, it's time to put on makeup."

"Well... are you nervous?"

Suddenly, she threw out this sentence.

"Why am I nervous?"

Xu Xin was really puzzled.

This is not the three major awards... He is not nervous about the three major awards now.

After all, he has "won two" of the three major awards. What is there to be nervous about domestic awards?

"Feng Xiaogang, and I heard that people from Huayi will also be present today."

Hearing this, Xu Xin was even more puzzled:

"What's going on? Are they a gang of some social nature? Or do they eat people?"

After the voice fell, Su Meng opened the door and walked in with a group of people from the makeup and styling team.

Liu Yifei stopped talking, just smiled and said:

"Anyway, I have to rely on you to protect me tonight."

Xu Xin thought, do you still remember the sins you have committed?

Then he shook his head speechlessly.

Today's dinner, the crew of "Perfect Stranger" is just the two of them.

The rest of the crew are Italians, and there is no need to bother with such an award.

At first glance, it does seem a bit lonely.

But tonight there are also the crews of "Lost in Thailand" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and people from Cloud Atlas will also come. There must be a lot of people. But it doesn't matter how many people there are here.

Although everyone, including Wang Sicong, heard that he and Feng Xiaogang were going to "meet kings", they all wanted to stir up trouble.

But Xu Xin's heart was as clear as a mirror.

Everyone must be in harmony.

It's just a show.

There's no such thing as a king meeting a king.

It's just a communication between peers.

...

In fact, to be honest, in terms of gold content, the annual awards ceremony of the Directors Association is okay.

Its selection mechanism is that the member directors of the Chinese Directors Association serve as judges, without considering any external factors such as box office and influence. It is purely "director selection, director evaluation", and the awards are selected one by one.

At first glance, the influence is still quite high.

But in fact... its influence is really not far-reaching.

However, it doesn't mean that this award is bad.

Some things... are not war crimes.

After being notified by Zeng Jia this time, Xu Xin agreed to attend the ceremony and learned about this award from the factory.

Why haven't I heard of such an award that sounds quite reliable at first glance?

As a result, the news I got from Qi Lei was:

"They are still committing crimes against the wind."

Hearing the four words "committing crimes against the wind", Xu Xin was still a little confused, thinking that this award had also produced "Glorious Fury" in the past?

But it is not.

Its first award ceremony was in 2005.

The old man also won the annual box office director award for "House of Flying Daggers" in the first ceremony.

But its second ceremony was the 2010 Directors Guild Awards held in 2011.

The reason for the five-year pause was not because there was any flaw in the award, but because it simply did not comply with the "new regulations."

In 2006, the above issued a document called "National Literary Awards Selection".

And this document... is a bit strange.

The first is the review time. The regulations require that all national literary and art awards must be submitted four months in advance, and then two months must be allowed to wait for approval.

In other words, it is no longer possible to conduct assessments every year.

Xu Xinxin said it's no wonder. Logically speaking, "Perfect" and "Journey to the West" should be counted as movies in the solar calendar year of 2013, but this time they are based on the lunar calendar year.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is... in Qi Lei's mouth, this document is the main culprit of the distribution of pork in literary and art awards.

Because it clearly stipulates that "except for journalism awards, the interval between each other national awards shall not be less than two years."

And this rule has also caused important awards such as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers to be held once every two years instead of one year. As a result, candidates for all awards have piled up, and the so-called double best picture, double and triple gold best actor and best actor have to appear. The main reason for waiting.

Qi Lei didn't know why there was such a rule.

But it is true that since 2005, the Golden Rooster has been separated from the Golden Rooster for two and a half years, and the Golden Rooster has been separated from the Hundred Flowers.

As of now, this document is still there.

It's just that...except for national-level awards like the Golden Rooster, other local-level awards have begun to relax.

The Directors Guild initially felt that this award system was unreasonable, so it held it for one session and then stopped.

In the past two years, with the shortening of the cycle of "local-level" awards including the Shanghai International Film Festival, Yanjing University Student Film Festival, etc., they turned a blind eye to this document and held it cautiously. The second session.

Then I successfully obtained the third approval...

But, this is also where the embarrassment lies.

It is an awards ceremony under the Directors Guild. The organizer is the Directors Guild, and the direct unit of the Directors Guild is the issuing unit of this document... Therefore, they are destined to be unable to build their own brand like many local film festivals. , improve one's own gold content, expand publicity, etc.

There won't even be a live broadcast of this awards ceremony.

It’s not a live broadcast, it’s not a national award, the judges are all directors, we just play by ourselves behind closed doors.

Therefore, as long as the above is not serious, they can do it once a year.

But the price is... Not to mention the audience, even club members like Xu Xin have no special impression of this award.

Even though, its review conditions look very professional.

But it doesn’t matter if the audience doesn’t approve of it, and if the superiors don’t “support” it.

For the industry, the status of this award is steadily improving every year.

Let’s not talk about Xu Xin’s 213. The Directors Association currently has less than 300 members in total. If you exclude directors who have passed away, its total number is only about 280.

But among these 280 people, at least everyone has their own place in the Chinese film industry.

The status may be great or small, but for investors, actors, and crew, this award ceremony is not so much for outsiders to see, but rather for these people to put on their best clothes and produce their best works. , put on the most beautiful makeup and appear in front of these directors.

Let them remember themselves.

Build relationships with them.

It will be convenient for future cooperation.

Therefore, to outsiders, this award may just be a piece of news and red carpet photos of some celebrities.

But for those who are here tonight, unless they are like the fat fairy next to them who is dressed like a white swan and plays a good hand of cards to a pulp and then successfully displays it... Otherwise, tonight's ceremony is really a bit... It means that all nations will come to court.

It's almost 7:30.

Xu Xin arrived at the venue where the award ceremony was held.

As the vehicle entered the parking area, Liu Yifei looked at the small group of people walking outside and said with a smile:

"I have a lot of acquaintances."

Xu Xin glanced outside... but he didn't see anyone familiar with him.

But he didn't care. After the car stopped, he asked Su Meng directly and stretched out his hand, and the other party handed over his work phone.

He will hold this phone tonight.

If a "stranger" wants to add him on WeChat, he will give him his work phone number.

The people who come here are all well-known people. If they want to add WeChat, the assistant will come forward to add them, no matter how they look at it, it is inappropriate.

The vehicle stopped, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Then I heard a voice:

"Haha, Director Xu~"

I subconsciously turned my head and looked...

Don't know.

But he was still greeted with a smile:

"Well, hello."

After saying hello, he put his hand and let Liu Yifei support her arm and walk down.

"Hello, Director Xu, and Miss Liu Yifei, hello. I am Tang Danian, the screenwriter of "Search". Nice to meet you."

The man came over to shake hands.

Xu Xin went up to him and started searching for "Search" in his mind.

Then I realized, it should be Chen Kaige's film last year, right?

But... I don't know why, but when he heard the name "Search", he felt inexplicably disgusted.

Although I have never seen this movie, this feeling still lingers in my heart.

But he didn't care, it didn't matter whether he was disgusted or not, it was just a joke.

…

After meeting the screenwriter named Tang Danian in the parking lot, everyone walked to the waiting area together.

When he arrived at the entrance of the waiting area, Tang Danian suddenly pointed in another direction and said:

"Director Xu, Director Chen is over there."

Xu Xin looked in the direction and saw Chen Kaige sitting on an outdoor folding chair, facing Xu Xin from the side, next to the trash can, holding a cigarette in his mouth, chatting and laughing with a few people.

His first reaction was...Director Chen would really enjoy it.

If I had known, he would have brought an outdoor folding chair with him.

But as soon as this idea came to my mind, I remembered my wife’s advice:

"Don't sit down if you can stand, you know? If the line of your trousers is gone, your knees will bulge and you won't be handsome~"

As soon as his wife's voice sounded in his mind, inexplicably, when he looked at Chen Kaige, his nose was not his nose, and his mouth was not his mouth.

He had obviously dealt with him before, but he had never had this special feeling... Even when the other party went directly to the stage to read a poem during the Olympics director selection period, he just found it ridiculous and speechless, rather than disgusting... But this time The feeling is particularly strong.

And if Chen Kaige alone is nothing.

There was a woman standing next to him.

That's...his wife Chen Hong, right?

This was Xu Xin's first time seeing Chen Hong, but he, who had always been calm, felt a stronger feeling of disgust in his heart when he saw the woman for the first time.

But... now that Tang Danian has spoken, Xu Xin naturally has to go over and say hello.

So he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, nodded with a smile, and took the initiative to shout:

"Director Chen."

Chen Kaige, who was smoking, turned his head subconsciously.

When he saw Xu Xin, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand:

"Xiao Xu, long time no see."

He didn't get up.

Xu Xin didn't care either.

He quickened his pace, walked next to him, and said with a smile:

"Yeah, it's been a long time indeed."

While talking, the two shook hands.

Chen Kaige took out a box of Nine-Five Zun from his pocket.

"Hey, thank you."

Xu Xin accepted it and heard Chen Hong next to him laugh:

"Xiao Xu, is this the first time we've met?"

Xu Xin's expression remained unchanged, he smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, Teacher Chen. This is indeed our first time meeting you."

At the same time, looking at this person... it can be said that the youthful memory of a generation still has charm...

Not to mention, he actually liked watching "Spring and Pig" back then.

But...why can't I like it?

I was thinking about it in my mind, but my mouth was still polite and pleasant.

After he finished speaking, Fei Xianer politely greeted Chen Kaige and Chen Hong.

Chen Kaige still didn't get up, but the few people who were chatting around him introduced themselves to Xu Xin, and everyone knew each other.

They are all sponsors of Search.

After introducing each other, Xu Xin had no intention of staying longer, but took the initiative and said:

"Director Chen, Teacher Chen, everyone, I'll take her in first. Wear less."

"Okay, keep in touch in the future."

Hearing Chen Kaige's words, Xu Xin responded with a smile:

"Well. Director Chen, you are busy first."

Then, he politely left with Liu Yifei.

Go directly to the waiting area.

After walking through the door, he casually threw the nine-five to Su Meng.

Looking at the waiting hall with people coming and going, and when I was searching to see if there was anyone I knew, I heard Liu Yifei complaining next to me:

"The rack is really big."

"..."

Xu Xin glanced at her.

He chuckled softly:

"Ha~"

Obviously, the fairy sister was also angry.

But...

"It doesn't matter."

Hearing what he said, the disdain on Fei Xian'er's face became even more obvious:

"Isn't it just a movie called "Farewell My Concubine"? From then on, I filmed whatever I wanted. It was really fun..."

"Hey, Director Xu?"

At this time, a voice came from the side.

Zhang Yang, the director of "Flying Over the Nursing Home", walked over quickly.

"Director Zhang."

Xu Xin said hello and quickly turned to Liu Yifei and said:

"Okay, put on the mask."

"..."

Liu Yifei was speechless.

Xu Xin has already walked over.

then……

good.

Just listen to you.

She took a deep breath, looked at the two people chatting, and the corners of her mouth gradually began to rise.

He showed a fairy-like smile.

It’s this toothless smile…

It seemed that the entire waiting room was lit up instantly, making the lights brighter.

(Speaking of which, the child has a fever of 38 degrees. Now he is going to the hospital for a blood test. This chapter has been published in advance. There is another chapter after that, but it has not been finished yet. I promise to update it tonight, but now I have to take the child with me. Blood test, prescription. Don’t wait, I’ll read it tomorrow morning. I’ll finish it tonight.)
