Chapter 554 Anger
It's certainly a big deal for Shen Xudong to attend the Academy Awards!
Co-productions are a trend these days, and mainland investors are easy to find, but there are too few investors with strong resources and expertise.
Therefore, when those Hong Kong filmmakers who consider themselves to be of high quality think of co-productions, the first two companies they think of are Huayi and Bona.
Later, I added light and visual effects...
After successfully operating several co-productions, Tianmei Media also came into focus. Later, Shen Xudong acquired Golden Harvest, which became the mainstream channel for co-productions.
It's just that they mostly shoot it themselves...
I have directors and actors I work with.
For example, Wang Jing's "The Sharpshooter and the Wise Stars", "Seven Captures, Seven Copes", "Crazy Fan King", "Beauty God of Cookery", "Sparrow Saint 3: Self-Touching 300 Times" basically did not have Jiahe's participation...
It was also unpleasant to have trouble with Johnnie To, the current standard bearer in Hong Kong circles...
He doesn’t even have anything to do with Eric Tsang.
It's a bit independent and Hong Kong-centric.
Therefore, those companies joined forces to resist Golden Harvest, and many Hong Kong filmmakers secretly applauded the filmmakers.
"Crazy Stone" is nominated for the best Asian film together with "The Monster on the Han River", "A Thousand Miles Ride Alone", "A Thousand Miles Ride Alone", "Death Note" and a Singaporean film "Kids Are Not Stupid 2"...
To be honest, no one cares about this award...
Judging from the declining trend of the Hong Kong film industry, no one will care about it in the future...
Even so, it is estimated that it is unlikely to be awarded to "Crazy Stone".
After all, "The Stone" was not well received in Hong Kong...
Ning Hao should also know this fact, so he came here purely for leisure travel. Hearing that Shen Xudong said that "Racing" is scheduled to be released for the New Year, he was a little nervous: "This year's New Year's release has "Reporter" and "Mobile Phone 2"..."
"It's okay, we will release it at the end of November..."
Shen Xudong is full of confidence in "Racing"... The Original Spacetime was released at the same time as "Family Happiness 2009" and "You Long Xi Feng", and the box office exceeded 100 million.
Ning Hao is not a boss yet and doesn't know much about publicity and distribution. Since Shen Xudong mentioned the Lunar New Year stall, then it will be the Lunar New Year stall.
Shen Xudong then asked: "...When will "The Tuner" be filmed?"
"...Can we wait until "Racing" is released?"
Shen Xudong glanced at him and then said: "Feng Xiaogang does two dramas a year. I don't ask you to do two dramas a year. One drama a year is the bottom line."
"...Then after I finish the post-production of "Racing", I will start shooting in August..."
"July!"
"...It's too urgent!"
"I'll give you a director's fee of 5 million this time or 1 million + 8% profit sharing!"
"...I work hard..."
…
Ning Hao needed money... He changed his house again, located in Ziyu Villa. Shen Xudong bought it cheaply - no matter how cheap it was, it cost 12 million...
He paid half of the mortgage!
Several people walked into the hall and sat down with familiar people.
It is said that the seating arrangement of the Hong Kong Film Awards is very strange. They are not divided according to the cast and crew, but all the shortlisted stars are lumped together...
For the shortlist, the protagonist sits with the protagonist, and the supporting actor sits with the supporting actor...
Of course, if no one pays attention to something like "The Stone", just sit there. This year, Emperor's "Isabella" and "Ghost" received many nominations...
The Emperor is one of Shen Xudong's few allies in Hong Kong.
The two parties have collaborated on many films, including the TV series "The Myth". Lao Yang knew that the mainland was remaking four major classics, and he was very interested in "Dream of Red Mansions".
Together with BJ TV, China Film and Xin Baoyuan, we planned the casting event for the variety show "A Dream of Red Mansions"...
In March, BJ TV, China Film Group, Emperor Group and Xinbaoyuan announced in Beijing that the BJ China Film Emperor Entertainment Agency jointly established by these four companies was officially launched: outstanding contestants from the Dream of Red Mansions talent show will sign with the agency.
Yes, this agency specializes in casting services for Dream of Red Mansions candidates.
Yang Shoucheng also wanted to find Shen Xudong together, but Shen Xudong stayed away from "Dream of Red Mansions"...
Anyone who messes with this thing will be in trouble!
"I don't like "Dream of Red Mansions" very much... Among the four famous classics, I like "Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" the most..."
"I haven't heard that you are going to remake "Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West"?"
"...I'm not making a "Three Kingdoms" movie, I'm definitely going to make a "Journey to the West" movie too..."
While the two were chatting, Xiang Huaqiang sat over - the producer of "Underworld 2: Peace Is Precious" is Galaxy Image, but the investor is China Star...
By the way, Galaxy Image split up with China Star after "Underworld" - Johnnie To is actively looking for new investors to invest, and there are two owners with whom he has close cooperation: First, Jiaoyang Media (invested in Galaxy Image's "Tracking", "Butterfly Flight" "), and the second is Media Asia (producer of Galaxy Image movies "Exile", "Whenever Things Change", "The Iron Triangle")...
Oh, apart from the fact that Shen Xudong and Yang Shoucheng both like art - Lao Yang's lust has been put on the table!
Apart from this, they both have one thing in common: they are neither familiar with Xiang Huaqiang nor want to be familiar with him!
Xiang Huaqiang probably knew that Shen Xudong didn't want to see him and had no intention of making friends with him, so he nodded and sat down...
The award presentation also started.
…
"The annual party starts again tonight."
"That's right. First of all, welcome everyone to watch the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony."
The hosts are Eric Tsang, Eric Tsang, Nick Cheung and Lam Chi-Cung.
Communicating purely in Cantonese, Shen Xudong understands a little bit of Cantonese, but does not understand many slangs and jokes. The only thing he can understand is probably Eric Tsang's boast that "the brilliance of Hong Kong movies lies in their creativity, which is so good that it has helped Hollywood not win awards for decades." Martin Scorsese won the award. Therefore, Hong Kong will definitely be able to produce the best ideas and the best movies. ’
The first award is the screenwriting award...
The award was awarded to Tan Jiaming and Tian Kailiang of "Father and Son". The camera specially scanned Shen Xudong, who had no expression on his face...
Well, Shen Xudong got two nominations for "Manslaughter" and "The Tailor"...
Most importantly, Shen Xudong won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
The Academy Awards are awesome!
Actually ignored Oscar...
In addition, Shen Xudong also won the Venice Best Screenplay Award!
Well, maybe people just ignore Shen Xudong...
As for what he said in his acceptance speech, Shen Xudong was not interested at all and leaned back in his chair. He crossed his arms and was minding his own business.
He is thinking about how to be a director...
Next month, "Fame" will be filmed.
He was still quite nervous. He used to be a producer and supervisor, and rarely thought about movies from the director's perspective.
By the way, Nightingale in "Famous" found Jing Tian to act - the production cost of this drama was 35 million, and Jing Tian's company invested 30 million, accounting for 20% of the investment ratio...
As soon as Shen Xudong mentioned this matter, everyone had no objections!
Art?
Art must also serve reality!
"Hey...the best photography!"
Shen Xudong quickly came to his senses - the best photography was awarded to Huang Yuetai, the photographer of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"...
It can be regarded as the first important award that Jiahe won, and then... and then there was no more!
In several important awards, Liu Qingyun won the Best Actor for "I Want to Be Famous", Gong Li won the Best Actress for "The Golden Armor", "Father and Son" won the Best Film, and Tan Jiaming won the Best Actor for "Father and Son". Good director…
Jiahe’s entire army was wiped out;
In other words, Shen Xudong gained nothing!
