Chapter 330 330. Golden Horse Awards Finalists (Part 2)
Nie Wei was cooperating with Shu Chang in acting, but he had already thought of the scene in the morning.
In fact, when Nie Wei was having breakfast, Lin Yifei called and told Nie Wei the good news.
But what surprised Nie Wei was that he didn't know if the two girls had telepathy. Before telling him the good news, they both proposed the same conditions to him.
For this little interest, Nie Wei naturally would not refuse, and agreed with a smile, and then Shu Chang also said the answer that Nie Wei had known for a long time.
A look of surprise appeared on Nie Wei's face, and then he smiled at Luo Kai beside him and said, "This afternoon is a holiday, I will treat everyone in the crew to a dinner."
"Okay." Luo Kai agreed. At this time, two crew members who happened to pass by heard Nie Wei's words, and immediately congratulated Nie Wei with a happy face: "Thank you, director, you will definitely win the award."
"Thank you for your good words." Nie Wei did not put on airs, and replied with a smile, while Shu Chang beside him whispered: "Spending money indiscriminately again."
"Everyone, have fun, and I have chosen the address. It's a barbecue restaurant opened at your aunt's house. How about it?" Nie Wei smiled and whispered in Shu Chang's ear. He heard all the girl's complaints.
Shu Chang blushed and gave Nie Wei a very cute eye roll.
While Nie Wei's crew was happy that someone was treating them, the Internet was already hot because of this nomination list. The biggest topic was naturally who had the best chance of winning the award.
The two most discussed awards are naturally the Best Actor and Best Actress, which are the honors of the best actor and actress, and are also the awards that the audience pays the most attention to.
For the best actor, "Infernal Affairs 3" is undoubtedly the big winner of this year's Golden Horse Awards. The nominations of Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau are definitely the biggest highlight of this year's Golden Horse Awards. The fight between the two for many years has made each nomination a hot topic, and this year is no exception. What's more, the two are in the same movie, so the competition between them is even more interesting.
In a voting campaign on a portal website, the competition between Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau is also in a white-hot stage. Nearly 100,000 people participated in the voting, of which 52% supported Tony Leung Chiu-wai's victory, while 46% supported Andy Lau, and the gap was not obvious.
Although this kind of voting popularity accounts for a large part, there are also superstars like Zhang Xueyou who are nominated, but they are overwhelmed by the two. It can be seen that this voting data also represents the audience's expectations and recognition. Even many media think that this year's best actor will definitely be chosen between these two.
Nie Wei also agrees with the media's point of view. The "Infernal Affairs" series can be said to be the pinnacle of Hong Kong police and gangster films. This series has been filmed to the third part and has accumulated momentum to the peak. This year's male lead will most likely be one of these two protagonists, but Nie Wei is actually more optimistic about Andy Lau, instead of Tony Leung Chiu-wai who always wins in previous competitions. This is mainly because the character portrayed by Andy Lau in the third part of "Infernal Affairs" is more interesting, so he has a greater advantage.
This is very similar to Nie Wei's situation. In "New Police Story", although Nie Wei has few scenes, he can still be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor because of his wonderful characterization. On the other hand, Xie Tingfeng, according to the appearance rate of the movie, is the orthodox second male lead, with more scenes than Nie Wei, but in the end he was not even selected for the nomination. This is because his presence in the movie is too weak, and he is completely suppressed by Nie Wei. Naturally, it is difficult for the judges to pay attention to him.
Compared with the two kings competing for the best actor, Zhang Ziyi is far ahead in the best actress.
In fact, her opponents are not weak, there are also actors like Zhang Aijia who are full of literary and artistic style, but they can't stand Zhang Ziyi's movie reputation. What's more, he is working with the director Sunglass King, who is known as the most award-winning director, so many people are optimistic that Zhang Ziyi will eventually win the title of best actress.
In addition to the best actor and best actress, there is the best director.
This is the first time that Lu Chuan has been nominated for the Golden Horse Awards. His competitors include big directors such as Johnnie To and Derek Yee. Lu Chuan himself feels that his chances of winning are slim, but the domestic media is very optimistic about Lu Chuan, thinking that his ordinary but powerful "Kekexili" is a rare masterpiece, enough to push him to the throne of Best Director.
In addition, the Best Feature Film is also an award that everyone pays attention to. This year is definitely a year of fierce competition. "Big Event", "Midnight in Mongkok", "2046" and Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" are all works with great reputations. No one dares to guarantee who will win before the final results come out. Even the public votes on the Internet are the same. The support rates of several movies are similar, which shows how fierce the competition is.
In the past Golden Horse Awards, the last thing to watch is these awards, but this year is different, because Nie Wei was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor, this award has also become the focus of many people's attention.
In the portal website's Best Supporting Actor voting, the number of participants reached 90,000 one week after it was launched, second only to the number of participants in the Best Actor voting, and even higher than the number of participants in the Best Actress and Best Director voting. To a large extent, all of this attention came from Nie Wei's popularity.
When the voting results were opened, the combined support for Nie Wei's two nominated roles exceeded 90%. It can be said that in the eyes of the general public, this award has already been won by Nie Wei, but some media do not think so. After all, the Best Supporting Actor award includes not only powerful actors such as Ge Minhui and Zhang Zhaohui, but also Liang Jiahui, an actor of the movie emperor level, which also casts a layer of fog on the result.
On the contrary, for the Best New Actor Award, both the media and the public think that it must be Nie Wei. In fact, his level has long surpassed the new generation of actors. On weekdays, the public never regards him as a new actor, but this time the nomination made everyone realize that Nie Wei is actually just a big boy in his early twenties. He has not been in this circle for a long time, but because his growth rate is too fast, everyone ignores it.
As for the best soundtrack, Nie Wei's song "Empty" for the rooftop scene in "New Police Story" was also nominated, but he was not expected to win the award this time. Although the song "Empty" was very nice and the plot was very tear-jerking, the best soundtrack of this year was a monster called "2046". If this movie didn't win the best soundtrack award, then everyone would probably shout that there was something fishy going on in the Golden Horse Awards.
Since the announcement of the shortlist, Huayi has also increased its public relations efforts. Soon, some well-known magazines in Taiwan have been promoting Nie Wei. Nie Wei's popularity in Taiwan was very high. Under this positive promotion, Nie Wei has become the most popular actor in Taiwan.
Nie Wei also fulfilled his promise as promised and invited all the crew members to a barbecue restaurant for dinner, but after the dinner, he went back to filming. No matter how popular he was, he couldn't feel the substance for a while.
On the contrary, Alan, who had just been rumored to have an affair with Nie Wei, benefited a lot. Although Nie Wei was nominated for a film award, this topic is very suggestive. In Nie Wei's recent activities, in addition to filming movies, he went to Alan's autograph session with a new look to cheer for her.
As expected, the little girl took advantage of Nie Wei's popularity again, and even the sales of the album rose slightly.
A week after the album was released, the weekly sales figures of Alan's album were also released. Although the number of more than 39,000 copies is far less than those of the kings and queens, it is not bad among the new generation of singers. Not only is it impossible to win the championship of the weekly sales ranking, but also in the sales of digital albums on the network platform, the number of downloads of 15,000 times made her also win the weekly championship without suspense.
In the next two weeks, there will still be no king-level singers releasing albums. It is estimated that Alan is still a strong contender for the sales champion, and Huayi's shipments have exceeded 50,000, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to exceed 100,000 in the end.
The album sales were good, and Alan's position in the company also rose. Originally, everyone was polite to her just for Nie Wei's sake. Now Alan has proved her strength, and the company's employees have begun to really pay attention to this girl.
In fact, the inside of the agency is often more realistic than the outside, after all, popularity is the key in this circle.
For example, Alan's album sold well this time, and she can finally enjoy the treatment of an independent recording studio in the company. She could enjoy it in the past, but it was lent to her in the name of Nie Wei. In addition, the company will also hold a small fan meeting and album celebration for her, and similar food and accommodation compensation has also increased. All of this is undoubtedly in exchange for her rising popularity and the actual benefits brought to the company.
Alan's celebration banquet was held when her album sales exceeded 50,000. The girl was very happy and satisfied with her current achievements. After all, when the students in the same class as her were still struggling for an opportunity to sing on a small stage, Alan had already received too much.
Now when she occasionally returns to school, she will immediately be surrounded by envious eyes.
Classmates would come to her and tell her that they saw her on a certain TV show, or that they saw her interview in a certain magazine, or that they heard her songs in a music store at a certain corner of the street. Every time she heard these words, Alan felt very satisfied, thinking that she would not get tired of hearing her classmates say this all day long. After all, how could a little girl not have some vanity?
Just like this celebration banquet, she invited several good sisters to come, one is to show them the world, and the other is naturally to show them her glorious side.
With this notice, the person Alan wanted to invite the most was Nie Wei, but when she called Nie Wei, she got a very disappointing news.
Nie Wei was not in Kyoto!
"Alan, I'm sorry, I may not be able to make it back for the celebration banquet, but I prepared a small gift for you, I hope you will like it when the time comes." Nie Wei said apologetically on the phone.
"It's okay, it's okay." Alan said repeatedly, but the disappointment in her heart was all on her expression, and she couldn't hide it.
"Okay, I hope your new album continues to sell well. You didn't let down the songs I wrote. You sang very well." Nie Wei said at last, and then hung up the phone.
Alan pursed her lips and smiled. Nie Wei's last simple compliment made her feel happier than hearing a hundred compliments from her classmates.
"Brother Nie Wei said I sang very well." After putting away her phone, Alan did not forget to show off to Wu Ya beside her.
"You are his student, and you are naturally the best in his mind. Okay, let's study what to wear at the celebration banquet. Today, three more brands came to discuss sponsorship. Which one do you like?" Wu Ya said with a smile, while taking out a list. As Alan's fame grew, there were more and more sponsors.
Alan took the list, which was full of carefully photographed sponsored clothing. Alan hesitated for a long time and finally chose a pure white dress.
"This one has a good taste. I will contact the manufacturer immediately and ask them to deliver the clothes as soon as possible." Wu Ya smiled and nodded.
Nie Wei is currently in Hong Kong, mainly discussing the main style of TWINS' next album.
“I think it’s good to continue the style of the previous one.”
"Change it up, I think varied elements can attract more people."
"No, maintaining a good style will cultivate the loyalty of fans."
"Who said that? Even those of us who specialize in music will get tired of listening to one style. Let alone ordinary people, I think we still need to change."
Nie Wei sat aside with a pen, occasionally writing in a small notebook for a while, then thinking about it for a while, and writing for a while. He did not participate in the discussion of this group of Emperor musicians. However, this meeting The main reason is to listen to Nie Wei's suggestions.
Therefore, Huo Wenxi on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
"Nie Wei, do you have any suggestions? I want to hear them."
"Me?" Nie Wei raised his head blankly, looked at everyone looking at him, and suddenly smiled: "I think what everyone said makes sense."
All the musicians were embarrassed upon hearing this. It didn't sound like a compliment at all.
Huo Wenxi on the side also gave a helpless smile, then glared at the musicians who had been arguing for a long time, and then continued to ask Nie Wei: "Be specific, I want to hear your thoughts."
"I support conservatives." Nie Wei thought for a while and said directly.
Upon hearing Nie Wei's words, the faces of those present who supported maintaining the style suddenly became filled with joy, while the faces of the musicians who had just asked to change their style looked extremely embarrassed.
"Nie Wei, can you tell me the reason?" Someone who supported the change of style asked reluctantly.
"It's very simple. Look at the two of them." Nie Wei pointed at TWINS who had been watching the show and said with a smile: "These are beautiful girls."
This sentence made both girls couldn't help but smile.
"Just because they are beautiful girls?" The musician obviously couldn't accept this reason.
"Is there another reason?" Nie Wei replied: "Time is the most precious thing in the world. The most suitable thing for them at this age is youthful and cute style. When they are thirty years old, what do you think if you let them act cute again? Is it appropriate? You cannot go back in time. It is wise to seize what you should have at the age you should have. "
Nie Wei's words stunned everyone present, and soon Huo Wenxi made the decision that TWINS' new album would still follow the youthful and cute route.
"Nie Wei, wait for me." After the meeting, Nie Wei just walked out of the door when he heard someone calling from behind.
Thanks to Kaizi and Shenlin8 for their 500 reward, and thanks to 0773 and Deep Blue Qingyun for their reward support.
