When I left Takakura Ken's house, it was around 11 o'clock. I did not eat at his house. Instead, I left directly and headed back to Tokyo.
Along the way, Ai Uehara occasionally looked at Xu Xin and hesitated to speak, but Xu Xin was destined not to reveal anything to him, so even if she noticed his gaze, she pretended not to see it.
Then he told what he and Takakura Ken talked about. I edited a text message and sent it to the old man about how pleasant the atmosphere was.
The old man replied simply, so that he understood. Then Xu Xin leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the hotel.
The first thing he did when he returned to the hotel was to take off his clothes. After taking off his dress again and handing it to Sumen, he didn't go out and ordered a meal directly from the hotel.
After eating, Beichenhe sent a message that he was back. There was an awards ceremony in the evening, and everyone in the hotel was already very busy.
The local Japanese actors and actresses at home and abroad who live in Tokyo, as well as the teams involved in this awards ceremony, all started to prepare for tonight's look, and Xu Xin felt a lot more relaxed.
The afternoon passed in a hurry, and at about six o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call from Chen He. The bus arranged by the Tokyo Film Festival had arrived downstairs, and the crew gathered in the lobby to wait in line to get on the bus.
So Xu Xin put on the flat-ironed dress again and walked out of the door. Liang Binning, who happened to be wearing a bright red dress, also walked out of the room. The first thing she said after seeing Xu Xin was.
I've been watching you. What have you been doing these past few days? Cooperate in participating in activities. Xu Xin's innocent-looking Qin and Guanyinshan didn't work together. They were each busy with their own affairs. It was not normal for them not to socialize.
But after hearing his words, Liang Binning sighed speechlessly, "Oh, I meant to introduce Li Yu to you. I understood what he meant."
Xu Xin nodded. While waiting for the elevator, he said, "Why don't you just chat with him? That won't be a good thing for you. You have to support your own people."
Suddenly, Xu Xin said something meaningful. Liang Bingning was stunned and looked at Xu Xin uncertainly. You are just like a branch. There are two flowers blooming on one branch, one on each side.
Hearing this, Liang Binning's mind moved. At this moment, there was a ding, the elevator arrived, Xu Xin made a gesture of invitation, and several people walked in.
In the elevator, Liang Binning said nothing and fell into thinking.
Then, the elevator stopped at the next floor, and some more people came up.
So he gave up on the matter completely, and after reaching the first floor, the two came out, and he said, "Li Yu is walking over there, I will introduce you to him."
Xu Xin nodded, okay. So she followed Liang Binning to the corner and soon came to Li Yu.
To be fair, Li Yu is quite beautiful. He is a local TV host, so his physical condition is not bad and he is full of charm.
But I don't know if it's because he has been with Qi Wei for a long time, but Xu Xin always feels that the way these people look at Sister Bingbing is abnormal, especially when she looks at her dressed up today.
Is it really too hot? probably. However, he didn't observe it for long. The reasonable budget was to just exchange pleasantries after the diet, but Li Yu was queuing up next to the producer waiting to meet Xu Xin, and finally waited for the right opportunity.
Hello, Director Xu, I am Lin Yu, manager of the investment department of Laurel Pictures. Nice to meet you.
Director Xu, I am the publisher of Guanyin Mountain, Yu Nian of Shengshi Xinying. Hello, Director Xu.
Long Admiration, Long Admiration Compared to the single-handedly Gang Qinqin, the producer of Guanyin Mountain came with many people. In the eyes of other directors, they were equivalent to the God of Wealth, Six Generals, etc. When the bosses of various companies faced Xu Xin.
Although it can't be said to be humble, his tone and posture are all respectful. There is no other way, not without respect.
Director Xu is a person who can't figure it out. Although the relationship is on the surface, the relatives supported by the West Film Studio have good cooperation with the Shanghai Film Studio, and the disciples of Director Zhang Yimou seem simple, but he always Can show energy that does not match it.
Not to mention anything else, one
How could a newcomer supported by Xiying Film Studio sell him to the three state-owned studios that attracted Yinzhu Shangying and the other three parties? A director with average face could not do this.
Therefore, no one who doesn't know how deep Xu Xin's background is, no one dares to have any attitude in front of him, not to mention that he is really talented, respectful and polite, and he is chatting with the Guanyin Mountain crew.
In the Gang's Piano crew, Wang Qianyuan was next to Zhang Meng, watching a group of Gods of Wealth nodding and bowing to Xu Xin, and looking at the other actors in Guanyin Mountain. He could only laugh there, waiting for the Gods of Wealth to finish their greetings. , it was his turn to be in the situation, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhang Meng, and after noticing his gaze, Zhang Meng turned his head and shrugged at her, what the hell are you looking at? fine.
Wang Qianyuan smiled and shook his head. The red carpet of the piano crew is neither in the front nor in the middle. In the ranking of the main competition unit, the position is equivalent to good or bad.
Soon it was the crew's turn. Following the notification from the staff, Xu Xin returned to the crew. The car used to pick up the crew was a Lexus. Xu Xin and Chen He followed the director in one car.
Behind the actor's vehicle, which was driving on a busy road, Chen He suddenly asked, "Are you nervous while patrolling the road?" Don't be nervous, it's not my movie.
Xu Xin smiled and shook his head. If it were Hawthorn Tree, I might still be looking forward to it, but this is not my movie. As an outsider, according to official sources, I came here for the purpose of enjoyment.
He asked rhetorically. Director Chen was a little nervous and admitted his feelings frankly.
The main thing is that if we can win a prize, it will have a very different meaning to us.
Then let alone the small probability of both films winning awards.
As long as two films can win one of the awards of Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, it can be said that the market will make a lot of money.
It's not about money, it's about influence. For private companies, winning this kind of award is nothing more than increasing the gold content of the film, allowing the audience to make more money by buying tickets, and increasing the company's prize honors.
But for Xiying Film Studio, if these two films or pianos win awards, the meaning will be very different. Guanyinshan common sense will not take it into account. After all, if this drama really has anything to do with the studio, it is nothing more than Bingbing.
It's just a tight heroine. Unless Sister Bingbing can win the Best Actress, it won't be the factory's turn to win any awards for the time being.
Of course, it’s not that you can’t get it. For example, Guanyin Mountain starring the outstanding domestic actor Liang Binning won a certain honor, but that is just superficial and just looks good. If Sister Bingbing gets it, then it will be something else. never mind.
And as the main direction of attack. piano.
Although this film was picked up halfway by Xu Xin, at first everyone just thought that the quality was very good and in line with the common sense tone. No one expected that he could be selected into the main competition unit of the Tokyo Film Festival. It can't be compared, but he is still one of the nine. As long as the Chinese movies produced by his own company can win awards at such international film festivals, they will be equivalent to China's entertainment industry.
A small appearance in the world is a sign of achievement, and rewards are given based on merit. Not to mention, even the army is divided into regular army and miscellaneous army.
These achievements and accumulations can easily become another upward channel. They are serious works that bring glory to the country, and their significance is huge.
Therefore, Chen He's nervousness is normal, and Xu Xin can understand it. But this place is not owned by his family. Whether he can win the prize or not, we can only wait for the final result to be announced.
Director Chen, please be patient, she comforted him slowly.
Chen He nodded slightly, loosened his tie slightly, and let out a sigh of relief. After getting off the car at the end of the red carpet, Xu Xin and Chen He, as producers, stood obediently behind the three people in front, waiting for the entrance. Qin's popularity at the Tokyo Film Festival has always been great, so many reporters paid attention to it. .
At this moment, the flash came over with A1 high flashes one after another. Yes, the Qiuli paste was so good that I couldn’t even eat it.
And just as he was politely waving hello to the left and right directions, he was suddenly startled and blinked subconsciously. Good guy, there is a group of people holding up secrets.
The secret poster shouted something to him.
Xu Xin carefully identified it and found out the approximate pronunciation. Sicklet, good guy, he really hasn't seen this movie poster in a few years.
Looking at the group of movie fans shouting at him, he specifically waved and smiled, and received even bigger cheers.
Immediately afterwards, as the Gang's Piano crew finished taking pictures, Xu Xin, Chen and Zhang Meng walked forward, leaving the remaining time for Wang Qianyuan to take a few steps with Qin Hailuer. Seeing a large group of movie fans waiting for him with pens, he walked over, took the autograph pen and signed autographs for everyone.
It's a pity that he couldn't understand what these people were saying. He just looked at these familiar posters with emotion in his eyes. It took a long time and there were a bunch of signatures. Then he politely said thank you to everyone and returned to the team. , and after a very urban red carpet process, he finally entered the new city Toho Cinema in Roppongi.
The Tokyo Film Festival continues the European style. The choice of venue still follows the purity of the film. This is chosen inside the cinema. When the time comes, the name of any winner will appear directly on the screen.
Xu Xin finally saw Director Li Pingdong and Director Xu, and Li Pingdong walked over with a smile.
After shaking hands with Xu Xin, he said, how have you been in Tokyo these days? Not bad, I just wandered around the island. Are you free next year? In the first half of the year, I will be cooperating with director Chen Jiashang on a play called Painting Walls, which is expected to be completed before June.
Then leave me with the rest of the year. After hearing Xu Xin's words, Li Pingdong nodded first, "Okay," and then asked curiously, "What is Director Xu planning to shoot this time?" Or a romance movie, not a romance movie? Sure enough, I took enough photos.
Xu Xin shook his head, then opened his Apple phone directly and logged into the mailbox system. I will send you the script. If so, I will ask Jay to send it to you later.
A book called Sunspot is a crime mystery book, and I have already made changes to it. Crime suspense, Li Tingdong is here, no problem if you are interested, I will go back and take a look.
Well, after doing some work and sending the script to Li Tingdong's email, Xu Xin suddenly rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there any spoilers for Li Dao?" Hahahaha.
Li Pingdong suddenly let out a hearty laugh, then shook his head and said, "How can it be called a surprise if you know it in advance?" Quxinyile.
Then, the bearded photographer patted Xu Xin on the shoulder with a smile, and I went over for a while to meet him at the dinner.
After watching him leave, Xu Xin rubbed his chin. Leader Hei, these words are interesting. It seems that he will not leave empty-handed.
When Xu Xin quietly told Chen Hehe the news, it was obvious that the other person's breathing had become heavier, but fortunately his breath was heavy.
I didn’t tell the crew, but I was more or less confident.
What followed was a long waiting time. While waiting for the guests to enter, Xu Xin saw many internationally famous people, such as Takeshi Kitano, an old man who is famous for his uprightness. His status in the Japanese film industry seemed really high.
From the time we entered until now, people who used to chat with each other have never stopped. Time passed so quickly.
Finally, the cinema was almost full, and the cameras set up around it all turned on their red lights.
With the appearance of two hosts, a man and a woman, whom Xu Xin did not recognize, the Tokyo Film Festival awards ceremony officially began.
The picture is here, good evening everyone, and welcome movie fans to our Sina live broadcast to watch the 23rd Tokyo Film Festival Awards Ceremony. Hello everyone, live broadcast, I am your old friend Martin.
The one who co-hosts with me today is the voice of our sister Jingwei, Martin, who appears on the screen again. Hello, dear viewers, I am the host Jingwei. After Jingwei said hello, I heard Martin say, speaking of it, this year is really This is the year when our Chinese-language films will shine.
Yes, whether it is Dee Renjie.
In view of the fact that Chen Zhen is also the legendary Thief of Rizhao Chongqing Sea, after finishing talking about the group member Jingwei paused for a moment, he added that the three shots include "The Hawthorn Tree Love" directed by Xu Xin and the two steel "Qin Guanyin Mountain" shortlisted for the Tokyo Film Festival. So many excellent Chinese-language films have appeared on stages around the world, and
Received many honors.
It was indeed a brilliant year. After recounting the Chinese-language films that appeared in the three major European movies this year, Jingwei felt a little emotional and said generally, our Chinese-language films are really getting better and better. I think it will be better in the future.
Martin said it categorically. Then the conversation changed and director Wang Quanan’s Reunion won the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Screenplay.
Director Xu Xin won his first poem-reciting award in Venice, and then "The Piano" and Liang Binning's "Rizhao Chongqing" were shortlisted, and "Guanyin Mountain in Ghana" was shortlisted. Tokyo West Film Studio really produced a lot of excellent works this year, sometimes even It gave me the illusion that they just followed up with the goods after receiving the award. They got it casually. This is the foundation of Xiying Studio.
Qingwei sighed. Adding that since the beginning of the last century, they have been winning awards and getting soft.
Just like what we call the fifth and sixth generations now, many of these two generations of directors came from the West Film Studio, such as director Zhang Yimou, director Chen Kaige, director Jiang Wen, etc.
People in our country pay attention to inheritance. This spirit has been passed down from generation to generation, and now it is in Xu’s hands.
Haha, yes, compared to the formal two people in Venice, the hosting style this time is much more relaxed.
Soon, as the scene was broadcast, this year's host Ken Watanabe and the Zhongshan Committee came on the stage. We saw that the two hosts had already taken the stage.
The 23rd Tokyo Film Festival Awards Ceremony has officially begun.
Hello everyone, I am the host Martin, and I am Jingwei. What you are watching now is the awards ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival, the world's nine major international A-category film festivals, broadcast live by Sina.
Two outstanding Chinese-language films were shortlisted this time, namely Gang's Piano starring Wang Qianyuan and Qin Hailu directed by Zhang Meng, and Guanyin Mountain starring Li Yu's director Liang Binning and Chen Bolin.
So who will win the various awards at this film festival? let us wait and see. The winner of the Audience Award was Keele Bargat Buchnesara's Key.
Congratulations.
Amidst the thunderous applause, a handsome foreign guy walked up to the stage while waving. Xu Xin was also applauding. When the other party gave his acceptance speech, he lowered his head and glanced at his mobile phone. He had just awarded the Japan Award. Two awards for Asian Style. and the Earth Contribution Award sponsored by Toyota.
The next award is the Best Artistic Contribution Award, which is similar to the special Golden Lion Award in Venice. It means that the movie is not that good, nor is it that bad. It means a consolation prize.
Above the Best Artistic Contribution Award was the Actress, followed by the Actor, Director, Special Award and Everyone. After he directly deleted the Audience Award in his notepad, he suddenly heard Chen He whispering in his ear.
Director Xu and Director Li are not talking about the Artistic Contribution Award, right? Xu Xin did not respond, just shook his head slightly. Intuitively speaking, if there is a real artistic contribution award, it should not be as subtle a reminder as Lidao. After all, this award is not a surprise, but he does not dare to continue to poison himself at this time. , I can only wait patiently. The guy on the stage goes down and waits for the next presenter to come out quickly.
After the buddy who won the Audience Award came off the stage, the next presenter appeared, a middle-aged woman of Southeast Asian descent, Yasmin Amo, a Malaysian director who was the last recipient of the Artistic Contribution Award for Jasmine Love. Regardless of other things, he quickly took out the envelope, took a look at it and read out a name, Buddha Mountain on the O. The last sentence is in Japanese. Congratulations.
After Xu Xin reflected for a moment, he immediately looked to his right and saw that Guanyin Mountain had won the prize.
During the applause, Li Yu's expression ranged from shock to confusion. Xu Xin also saw a little loneliness when he habitually looked to the left and right. Obviously he was also ambitious, but he didn't expect that this work still fell to Li Ming. the night before.
but.
These students adjusted quickly, stood up amidst the applause, and went on stage to receive the award.
The award was received in fluent English and was quickly conveyed to the guests in Japanese simultaneously, making Xu Xin envious of KKRKCKM.
After Li Yu finished speaking in English, she switched to Chinese. This drama
I would like to thank Bingbing for her passionate performance, and also thank the investors and producers for their trust in me.
After a pause, he continued, "In the next work, I will bring you a better film, and everyone can hear it."
His reluctance was at least in the Chinese context, but there was nothing he could do.
In the end, he accepted the award and stepped down amidst applause. Then, almost the moment he stepped down, Chen He, Xu Xin, including Liang Bingning, Qin Hailu and others all sat up straight. Chen He and Xu Xin hoped that Liang Binning would win the award, and Qin Hailu hoped that she would win it.
In any case, now is the time to see the outcome.
Soon, the 22nd Julie, who won the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo Film Festival for her eight Wei County appearances, was also wearing a red dress, walking elegantly, and lighting up the lights. After another greeting that Xu Xin could not understand, she took out the took the envelope in his hand.
He took a look and said, BuddhaMountainarrangedinNa. Although the pronunciation was not standard, when he heard the name of the previous movie, Carp, who had just won the award, jumped up and hugged Liang Binning amidst the applause of the audience.
Because it was too noisy, Xu Xin couldn't hear what the two were communicating, and his focus was not actually here. Instead, he looked around and subconsciously searched for Li Tingdong's location because he thought of a possibility, a very outrageous one. Maybe not, it shouldn't be that exaggerated.
The surprise that Rijima was talking about would be reasonable if it was Sister Bingbing, but the problem is that he also knows himself well. He has a clear imprint of Xiying Studio on him, so to surprise himself is to surprise Bingbing for Xiying Studio.
Apart from himself, this film has almost nothing to do with the factory. Could it be that the surprise is more than that? After thinking of this possibility, his mind suddenly became hot.
I would like to express my special thanks to Director Li Yu for the trust you have given me, as well as other friends who have given me support inside and outside the crew. I hope to bring more excellent works to you in the future.
Liang Binning is so beautiful. They are both wearing red dresses, so the two of them are simply incomparable.
Martin said this with an obsessive tone, and the faces of Jingwei in the studio were filled with weird expressions, but he had to admit that there was indeed nothing wrong with his beauty.
Julie was not an unknown person, but they were both wearing red dresses. The other one was instantly killed by Liang Dingning and was almost invisible.
But now, Brother, can you restrain your nymphomaniacal tone during the live broadcast? So Jingwei corrected it. Yes, while he was beautiful, his acting skills were also recognized.
Here we would like to congratulate him and director Li Yu for adding another glorious touch to our Chinese-language films. After saying that, he also made a gesture to Martin, meaning, quickly restrain your nymphomaniac look.
The award ceremony isn't over yet. The Best Actor of the 22nd Tokyo Film Festival is Kristoff Christopher, an actor from Bulgaria. This guy’s beard is quite unique, and his steps on stage are also very relaxed. However, Xu Xin, who was sitting on the seat, turned his head and glanced at the person next to him. Chen He, the other party's lips turned slightly white. He was obviously extremely nervous. He wanted to say something to remind him.
There are also best director and film festival awards later. But I guess it would be useless to say it, so I just kept silent.
Sitting on the chair, he continued to maintain that he didn't understand the whole scene, but he wanted to show his concentration, until the other party took out the envelope and read out the name, the Piano in Aftory.
Chen He jumped up from his stool, raising his hands in the air and cheering, expressing his excitement. If you win, you win Dafa.
The people from Xiying Film Studio have taken over both the best actor and the best actress. Although he is still unable to figure out what kind of shock wave will be generated later, at this moment, he knows that this time the factory will win big, not just him. Cheering, Zhang Meng and Qin Hailu were also cheering.
Wang Qianyuan was held by Zhang Meng's shoulders and shook violently. He covered his nose with his hands together, looking in disbelief, while being pushed out by Zhang Meng, which meant that he hurried to the stage to receive the award. Everyone was cheering, except Xu Xin, who seemed to be incompatible with the noise of the crowd. Out of place, sitting on the chair neither applauding nor cheering, just looking at the big screen, wondering what I was thinking
Something.
At this moment, he noticed a line of sight and subconsciously turned his head to glance. Across the crowd, he saw Liang Binning, still holding the trophy in her hand, looking at him with a curious look.
Seeing this, Xu Xin just smiled slightly, continued to sit on the chair, and followed everyone in the audience to applaud Wang Qianyuan, who looked bewildered and at a loss as he walked onto the stage, looking unusually calm.
According to Martin's words, Director Xu looks really calm, just like those masters in martial arts, with the air of a master.
But in fact, Xu Xin just didn't react, because at the moment Wang Qianyuan won the award, an idea popped into his mind, which was quite greedy.
The surprise that the leader mentioned should be more than that. Although he also knew that his idea was unrealistic and he still couldn't restrain himself, what if there was a bigger surprise? It's a pity that there is no such thing as a contingency.
Finally, the director talked about the key of Sarah directed by Bliss Badet Buchner. The jury prize went to Kaneto Shindo's A Postcard, and the final Tokyo Film Festival grand prize went to Neil Borgman's "Intimate Grammar" In the bag.
With the end of Neil Bergman's acceptance speech, the entire Tokyo Film Festival came to an end.
Xu Xin didn't know what other people thought of this film festival. He could only see one thing from Chen He's face, which was already swollen and red. This time, Xiying Studio was in the real sense. Qin Shihuang had cramps.
Won Ma.
