When the crew of "Animal World" appeared on the red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Zhang Yuanjun was preparing to open in Jinling.
As the domestic film with the best box office so far this year, the crew of "Animal World" led by Xu Ke received unusual courtesy on the red carpet.
When it was learned that the leading actor Zhang Yuanjun could not be present due to scheduling issues, the red carpet host expressed regret.
Liu Yifei is also very popular in Bay Island, and her fans screamed frequently at the red carpet.
When interviewing Liu Yifei, the host asked her: "Is this the first time for Yifei to come to the Golden Horse Awards?"
"yes."
"So what was it like coming to Golden Horse for the first time?"
"The Golden Horse is a feast for Chinese films. I feel honored to participate in the Golden Horse Awards." is the standard answer.
The host did not embarrass her: "Thank you Yifei, I also hope that "Animal World" can win the grand prize tonight."
Zhang Yuanjun only received the news of the Golden Horse Award after the performance. "Lust, Caution" became the biggest winner without any suspense, with 7 out of 11 nominations. "Animal World" only received one award for Best Visual Effects, which was received by special effects director Wang Jianxiong.
This year's Golden Horse Awards contributed to a famous scene: when awarding the Best Actor award with Li An, Wu Junru thought that there was no suspense about the award and tore up the award envelope on the stage in front of Li An and the audience.
"Bring the Golden Horse Award and give it away directly."
Frightened, Li An quickly picked up the scraps of paper and spelled out Liang Chaowei's name.
There is a very impolite phenomenon at this year's Golden Horse Awards. From the beginning to the end, they have been making fun of "Lust, Caution" and making fun of Tang Wei's nude scene.
When Liu Yifei came back, she said: "It's too much. They keep talking about stripping off, being naked, body shape, etc. Tang Wei has to force a smile to deal with them in the audience."
"This is the difficulty for new actors. To become famous in this kind of drama, you have to be prepared to face rumors from all over the world."
After Zhang Yuanjun performed in Jinling for two days between August and September, he went directly south to Hong Kong Island without returning to the capital.
Together with Li Yang and the staff of the Yindu Agency, they held a script meeting behind closed doors.
The Hong Kong screenwriter that Yindu Agency found for "Transcendence" is Luo Qirui, an excellent screenwriter who has always paid attention to the real life of people in Hong Kong.
Zhang Yuanjun is very impressed with him, and Luo Qirui will deliver a movie called "The Thief of Time" two years later.
Zhang Yuanjun was relieved to ask him to direct the Hong Kong localization adaptation of "Transcendence".
After reading the mainland version of the script of "Detachment", Luo Qirui was moved by the story. The title of the play is "Detachment", but no one in the play is detached, and in the end only indifference and cruelty remain.
In particular, this story focused on youth education, which appealed to him even more.
The script meeting started slowly, but the progress was very good. The time was mainly spent on introducing the customs and customs of Hong Kong Island to Li Yang and Zhang Yuanjun.
If the director and the leading actor do not understand the environment in which the movie story takes place, the work will definitely not go smoothly.
After receiving this job, Luo Qirui began to conduct basic research on education in Hong Kong Island, and then told Li Yang and Zhang Yuanjun what he knew during the script meeting.
The story environment has changed, and the art has to be changed. Li Yang originally planned to cooperate with his old friend Shu Yang in art design, but at Luo Qirui's suggestion, he hired Huang Ruimin, the artist of "Kung Fu" instead.
It’s not that I don’t want to invite Zhang Shuping, but I can’t schedule him.
There is no need to change the photographer, it is still Li Yang's old partner in "Blind Mountain", Wandao photographer Lin Liangzhong.
Li Yang originally thought that doing the job would be the most troublesome, but he didn't expect that doing it would be the simplest and easiest job.
There are only a few local film locations on Hong Kong Island. Huang Ruimin took Li Yang's team out for a week and took hundreds of photos for Li Yang to choose from.
The script meeting lasted for three days. After setting the tone for the adaptation, Zhang Yuanjun, Li Yang and Luo Qirui devoted themselves to formal script writing.
There is no need to get together to write the script. Zhang Yuanjun returned to Beijing, while Li Yang stayed in Hong Kong Island to experience life.
Li Yang is not a director who can attract flashlights, so he planned a movie in Hong Kong Island and did not attract media attention.
Zhang Yuanjun's return to the capital attracted considerable attention from reporters. After the Jinling performance, Zhang Yuanjun disappeared for almost half a month.
"Yuanjun, who are you most optimistic about during the Lunar New Year? Feng Xiaogang or Chen Kexin?"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
""Report" and "Assembly Number" meet in the Lunar New Year festival. Who do you think will have a higher box office?"
"I haven't seen both movies, so it's hard to comment." Zhang Yuanjun would not say such offending words.
"At the premiere of "Assembly", Yifei and Mr. Wang shook hands and made peace. Mr. Wang said that there was no argument to ban Yifei. What do you think?"
"It's pretty good." Zhang Yuanjun won't step into the trap if he doesn't do it.
Who can't do this? Is Huayi really not going to take action against Liu Yifei?
After leaving the airport, in the car, Zhang Yuanjun also flipped through the news from "Assembly Number" a few days ago.
"... When the guests took a group photo, Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to help Liu Yifei on stage, dispelling the previous rumors that Liu Yifei and Huayi were not in harmony. ... Mr. Wang said: 'Why are there still people spreading such gossip now? We will not threaten actors with film contracts. Huayi would not do such a stingy thing. We and Yifei are very good friends, and we chose her solely because she is suitable.'"
After reading the news of the day, I also browsed the news about the battle between "Report" and "Assembly Number" that has been making a lot of noise in the past few days.
After all, Feng Xiaogang’s basic plan is still the Lunar New Year period.
"Reports" are coming fiercely, but "Assembly Number" announced who is the king of the Lunar New Year stalls with a score of 15 million on the first day.
As soon as "Assembly" was released, "The Call to Action" was canceled by the theaters.
"Who do you think will win during the Lunar New Year?" Xiao Zhao asked him, "Don't fool me like you fool reporters."
Zhang Yuanjun said: "Feng Xiaogang, haven't you seen that Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 7" has been moved to January? Feng Xiaogang's world is still dominated by the Lunar New Year period."
"Still now?" Xiao Zhao caught Zhang Yuanjun's words, "Are you saying that Feng Xiaogang is going downhill?"
"Every director will go downhill," Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "Can he still occupy the Lunar New Year slot for the rest of his life?"
“I don’t know when we can enter the Lunar New Year stall.”
The Lunar New Year stall is the most important time of the year, and those who can prove themselves in the Lunar New Year stall are truly big names.
"It sounds like I don't want to enter the Lunar New Year stall." Zhang Yuanjun said, "Is Yifei okay these days?"
"What can she do over there? She will take on a few events at the end of the year. If there is a tour, she will tour. If there is no tour, she will stay at home."
"No chance of finding her?"
"I'm not her agent. How could I know about her film appointments? If you keep doing this, I'll ask for a raise."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."
Zhang Yuanjun arrived home, packed his luggage, and then took the bus to the studio to work. It was the end of the year and he had to settle accounts. He was busy all day and would not go back until late at night. (End of chapter)
