Chapter 633: The Golden Horse Film Festival, a School Recruitment
"Mr. Yang, dear teachers, you have worked hard all the way, and welcome to the treasure island of Taiwan."
As soon as he stepped off the gangway, Liu Genghong, who had an upright face and a burly figure, greeted him very politely.
It is said that Jay Chou is working for him, and he also asks his friends to entertain Yang Lingyue and his party. Is this not touching?
Yang Lingyue shook hands with him and said, "Hello Liu Genghong, could you please come from Taipei? I'm sorry to bother you these two days."
Liu Genghong smiled brightly and pointed at the two business cars: "Mr. Yang, you are polite, as you should. Teachers, please get in the car first."
The people who came to Taiwan this time were the main creative staff of "One Thought of Nothingness". In addition to Yang Lingyue, who was nominated for Best Director, there were also Zhang Ji (second screenwriter) who was nominated for Best Screenplay, and Zhang Yi, who was nominated for Best Actor. , Liu Peiqi was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor, and Aaliyah was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress.
Of course there are stylists, makeup artists, accessories Li Jing, and bodyguards.
Everyone was in a pretty good mood. In addition to the numerous nominations for the crew, the feeling of being on a private jet was so refreshing.
If Yang Lingyue hadn't been reading a lot of information to make up for his lessons in the air, he would have received a lot of flattery.
However, Yang Lingyue knew that "One Thought of Ignorance" had replaced the original "Assembly Number" in the related nominations. It was certain that it would win, but it was hard to say how many it would win.
If "Assembly" were based on its original results, it would have won the Best Actor award, but Peggy Liu and Aaliyah's acting skills were even better, beating other nominated artists.
The Best Director/Best Feature Film are both Chen Kexin's "The Proposal". I guess Yang Lingyue has little chance. But who knows, after all, there is an inexplicable force at work.
After getting on the bus, Liu Genghong distributed a small snack called water chestnut cake to everyone, which tasted good.
"Mr. Yang, let's check in at the hotel first, put our luggage in place, have lunch, and then rest. After resting, please contact me if you need anything. Taichung's local chicken cuisine is very famous, is that okay?"
Yang Lingyue said with a smile: "The guest is at his leisure and the host is at your disposal."
There was no words to say all the way. The hotel was called Jindian, a five-star hotel about 3 kilometers away from Sun Yat-Sen Hall, the venue for the Golden Horse Awards. Director Jay Chou had booked it a long time ago, and Li Jing didn't have to pay for it.
The place to eat is not far from here. After all, Taichung is not a big place, but it is a small restaurant, but the taste is really good and the boss is very enthusiastic.
After eating and taking a nap, Yang Lingyue originally wanted to call everyone to go to the film festival to have a look.
In the end, only Li Jing was left in the hotel: "Boss, Liu Genghong led them all out, and I am the only one left."
"Where is Lao Jiang?"
"Brother Jiang went to Kaohsiung."
"Oh, let's go to the film festival to join in the fun."
There was still a business car waiting at the hotel. Li Jing called the driver, and the two of them headed to Zhongshan Hall.
Zhongshan Hall is an art museum. It is said that the venue of the Golden Horse has always been relatively fixed, that is, Taipei, but this year it was placed in Taichung. The main reason is that there are too many other activities in Taipei. Maybe it is also to avoid suspicion, so I chose it. Taichung.
When they arrived at the place, Yang Lingyue felt sad. The film exhibition was in the small square in front of Zhongshan Hall.
The structure is similar to that used during college recruitment during the graduation season. Each production company has set up a small space like a campus recruitment company, and various movie posters are everywhere.
Looking around at the crowd, almost all of them are Asian faces, and occasionally there are some white people.
At this time, Li Jing pointed in one direction in surprise: "Boss, the booth of Xiying Studio."
Yang Lingyue followed her finger and looked over, right? There was a poster of "One Thought of Ignorance" next to it.
The main subject is an overhead photo of a rental house. Zhang Yi is lying on his side on the upper floor of a bunk bed, with his head resting on his hands and a half-face that is hopeless. Liu Peiqi, who is standing on the ground, is looking at him with a tired and worried look.
The title of the film is written in the center of the poster, and below it is written: "Director Yang Lingyue's work."
There were several young people surrounding the booth, and their accents sounded local.
At this time, the staff of the Xiying Studio who were dealing with the situation lit up when they saw Yang Lingyue approaching: "The director is here, you can discuss your problems with him."
Several young people also turned their heads and looked over.
One of the boys said: "Hello, Director Yang Lingyue, we are reporters from the school newspaper of Taiwan Arts. My name is Zhang Wei. Can I interview you?"
Yang Lingyue motioned for them to sit on the stools pulled over by the staff.
"Hello Zhang Wei, let's forget about the interview. Just now my colleague said that you have questions and you can talk to each other. Sit down."
Zhang Wei understood, thanked him, and then said: "Does this title mean a thought of heaven and a thought of hell? Also, director, the subject you want to express is actually the public, right?"
Only then did Yang Lingyue take a serious look at Zhang Wei. There was something in this kid's words.
"It's okay if you understand it this way. After any work of art is created, it does not belong to the creator, but to the audience."
Zhang Wei was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, and continued: "Then what I understand is that the background society in the movie lacks humanistic care, right?"
Yang Lingyue hated this kind of people who thought it was painful to hold someone else's feet and secretly rubbed them proudly. He stretched out his palms and said:
"There is no need to be so obscure. The five fingers of a hand may be long or short, and there are places where the sun cannot shine in any corner of the real world. The origin of this film is based on real cases. I recommend you watch it. Watch the documentary "Removal of Internet Addiction" directed by Teng Congcong.
What I want to say is that when you find these dark corners, there is no need to hide them, let alone laugh at them. Just remove the surrounding obstructions and let the sun shine in.
Just as you understand the meaning of the title, everything converges in one thought, one thought can ruin everything, and one thought can also make a flower bloom. ”
Zhang Wei pulled the corner of his mouth. He wanted to interrupt in the middle, but when others raised their hands, he felt that he couldn't open his mouth. This Yang Lingyue, who looked about the same age as him, looked at him too much pressure.
He couldn't stay any longer, so he said: "Thank you, director, I have no questions, I wish you and "One Thought of Madness" can achieve good results. ”
Yang Lingyue stood up and said: "Thank you for your blessing, I have a schedule for your school the day after tomorrow, and I hope to continue to communicate then, hehe."
Zhang Wei grinned: "Welcome, definitely. ”
He thought: Damn it, damn it, is this a warning to myself not to misinterpret?
Then Yang Lingyue talked with the people from the Xi'an Film Studio about the distribution situation. The distributors targeted by the Golden Horse Awards are mainly in Southeast Asia. Of course, this time they brought not only "Mad World", but also other films they undertook. It's just that "Mad World" was nominated for many awards and has a bigger name, so they put the poster of this film out.
Not only that, "Mad World" is shown almost every day in the screening room of Zhongshan Hall.
