Chapter 777 777. Golden Horse
What surprised netizens even more was the founding history of this company.
Because this special effects company was actually founded by a star. The key point is that this star is not the kind of person who was forced to change careers because of his poor acting career, but Xie Tingfeng, the top little king in Hong Kong.
This is not a big deal. When this special effects company was in Xie Tingfeng's hands, it was just mediocre. It really started to rise because it was acquired by another boss. The key point is that the identity of this boss is actually a star.
And this star is even more famous than Xie Tingfeng. He is Nie Wei, who is currently in the limelight in the entertainment industry.
Seeing this, everyone is not surprised. Why did this special effects company, which had mediocre technology in the past few years, make rapid progress in just a few years, complete a gorgeous transformation, and produce special effects that even many Hollywood blockbusters can't compare with? It's all because they changed a rich boss.
Many netizens even joked that it might be because everyone left a suggestion or a bad review for the special effects of "Your Name" that inspired Nie Wei to work hard to climb the special effects technology tree, and then bring it out to make a big splash and convince everyone.
However, the special effects shown in this trailer really convinced everyone.
There are also "bullets that can turn" revealed in the film, and those exquisite and high-tech-looking firearms, which deeply attracted many young people in the town. As soon as the two trailers were released, five of the top ten hot searches on Fanxing Weibo that day were related to "Assassin's League".
Time soon came to December 6, and the day of the Golden Horse Awards finally arrived. Nie Wei finally chose to attend this award ceremony because someone personally found Nie Wei and hoped that he could attend this Golden Horse Awards ceremony.
Thinking that the weather in Taiwan had changed recently, Nie Wei understood what the head of the Friendship Association meant.
The key is that Nie Wei had been taken care of by the other party during the Golden Bell Awards, so it was obviously inevitable for him to attend the Golden Horse Awards this time.
On December 3, Nie Wei and Shu Chang had already arrived in Taiwan with the crew, but they did not choose to stay in the hotel provided by the Golden Horse Awards organizer, but chose another five-star hotel closer to the venue.
The Golden Horse Awards organizer visited several times in three days to finalize the order of entry and seats for the crew, as well as some matters that people with award-giving tasks need to pay attention to.
"Blind Witness" was nominated for five awards this time. In addition to Nie Wei's nomination for Best Screenwriter and Shu Chang's nomination for Best Actress, Huang Xiaoming was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Qi Songming was nominated for Best Original Film Music, and finally this film was also nominated for Best Picture.
As a director, Xie Haiyang was not nominated for the Best Director award, mainly because his competitors were too strong, such as Chen Kexin, one of the top ten directors in Hong Kong, Wei Desheng, who created the local box office record of Taiwan this year, and Zhang Aijia, a talented woman. The last one is even from the same company as Xie Haiyang, and it is Director Feng who will fight for the Golden Horse Awards again with "Assembly".
When registering, Xie Haiyang was full of confidence, thinking that even if he didn't win the award in the end, at least he would be nominated.
However, he was dumbfounded after the list was finally announced.
However, facing such a shortlisted lineup, although Xie Haiyang felt a little disappointed, he didn't feel it was unfair. A few days after the list of nominees was announced, he had calmed down his mentality.
In the words of Nie Wei, he has already shown his talent, so is he afraid of not having opportunities in the future?
On December 6, in the second half of the Golden Horse red carpet, Nie Wei and Shu Chang finally walked on the red carpet in the expectation of thousands of people.
Nie Wei wore a three-piece suit designed and customized by Armani, while Shu Chang wore a black high-end dress from ZM. As soon as they appeared, they received the highest cheers on the red carpet so far, which shows how popular they are in Taiwan.
Moreover, the Golden Horse red carpet also took special care of Nie Wei and Shu Chang. Other stars usually stayed on the red carpet for about half a minute to take pictures, while Shu Chang and Nie Wei had twice as much time as them.
Of course, this is mainly for the convenience of reporters, and the organizers want to increase the ratings of this section of the Golden Horse red carpet. Nie Wei and Shu Chang’s current popularity does not care about the exposure rate of this time.
Of course, for top stars like Nie Wei and Shu Chang, the red carpet’s outdoor host will naturally not let them go. Red carpet interviews are also necessary, and the time is also longer than that of other stars.
As for the questions, there is not much new. This year’s red carpet outdoor host is Huang Zijiao. After seeing Nie Wei and Shu Chang being led to his interview area by the red host, he immediately came up and greeted them warmly.
"Welcome tonight's best actress Shu Chang, and our best screenwriter Nie Wei. Oh, Nie Wei, you are really versatile." Huang Zijiao praised them as soon as they met, and then, like the field hosts in previous years, he threw the question of "Are you confident of winning the award" to Shu Chang first. After all, Shu Chang was nominated for the best actress tonight and was a finalist for the grand prize.
"I think being nominated is the greatest affirmation for me. As for who will win the award, I think it is possible. After all, everyone has their own advantages." Shu Chang replied.
"Then Miss Shu Chang, what do you think is your biggest advantage?" Huang Zijiao continued to ask.
When Shu Chang heard this question, she suddenly glanced at Nie Wei beside her, then smiled and hugged Nie Wei's arm, and replied: "I think my biggest advantage is that I found a good husband."
No one expected that Shu Chang would feed the whole audience a lot of dog food unexpectedly. Even Huang Zijiao, who was so smart, was stunned by what Shu Chang said. After turning around, he immediately groaned several times.
"Too sweet, too sweet, seeing you makes me want to fall in love again." Huang Zijiao shrank his body, looking like he was stimulated by love.
After interviewing Shu Chang, Nie Wei certainly would not let go.
However, Nie Wei was only nominated for the Best Screenwriter in the Golden Horse Awards this time, so there is nothing to talk about. If Nie Wei had not been nominated, it is estimated that not many people would pay attention to this award. After all, the public's attention is always on those glamorous big stars or big directors. Who cares who wrote the TV series or movies?
But this was not difficult for Huang Zijiao. After he simply asked Nie Wei about his feelings about being nominated for the Best Screenwriter, he changed the topic to Nie Wei's new movie that was about to be released. This was also a good thing for Nie Wei. After all, this was a live broadcast of the Golden Horse Awards. Huang Zijiao's question was equivalent to directly advertising Nie Wei's new movie "Assassin's League" during the live broadcast of the Golden Horse Awards.
Nie Wei accepted this favor and promoted his new movie by the way.
"Wow, this movie sounds so great. It seems that next year's Golden Horse Awards will be even more exciting. Thank you Nie Wei and Shu Chang for accepting my interview." Huang Zijiao finally praised and ended the red carpet interview of Nie Wei and Shu Chang.
Nie Wei and Shu Chang entered the Golden Horse Awards venue, and immediately thousands of staff came to lead the two to find their seats. During this process, Nie Wei also saw Tian Xin, one of the hosts of tonight's Golden Horse Awards.
Since Nie Wei established a branch of Huayi in Taiwan and signed some artists, he began to work hard to develop the entertainment market in Taiwan. For example, Tian Xin was able to host the Golden Horse Awards this time because Huayi was behind the scenes.
Tian Xin took the initiative to find Nie Wei and Shu Chang. After all, she knew that the boss and the boss's wife were coming today, so of course she had to come to brush up her favorability.
However, when she met the two, she and Nie Wei just greeted them politely, but pulled Shu Chang to chat for a long time, and praised Shu Chang's face a little red.
When Tian Xin left, the two had become more familiar with each other from the initial unfamiliar relationship, and Shu Chang also had a lot of good feelings for this beautiful female host.
Nie Wei was very clear about Tian Xin's little thoughts, and he also felt that this woman was really smart.
If she flattered Nie Wei right away, it would most likely cause Shu Chang to be unhappy next to her. After all, no wife would like to see a woman always getting close to her husband.
Keeping a certain distance from Nie Wei and getting close to Shu Chang like this can not only make Shu Chang feel that she is not a threat, but also gain Shu Chang's favor, which is equivalent to gaining Nie Wei's favor, and may even be more useful than flattering Nie Wei directly.
Nie Wei couldn't say whether he liked or disliked Tian Xin's little thoughts. After all, it was just a means of survival.
The award ceremony started soon. This year's Golden Horse host lineup was led by Cai Gong, accompanied by two beautiful women, Tian Xin and Hou Peicen. This is also the usual style of the Golden Horse Awards.
The first thing to start was naturally the speeches of the leaders of the Golden Horse Awards organizers and the host city. This section was the most likely to reduce the ratings, but it couldn't be missing. The on-site director could only pinch his nose and kept muttering in his heart to let the guys on the stage speak faster.
When these people finished speaking, half an hour had passed, and this was when the Golden Horse Awards really began.
Several heavyweight guests were inevitably teased by the host at the beginning, especially Shu Chang and Nie Wei, who got married this year. They were compared by Mr. Cai with Hou Pei-cen, who had just broken up with Jay Chou, causing Hou Pei-cen to beg for mercy.
No one knew whether Hou Pei-cen felt bitter or not, but everyone was amused by Mr. Cai's witty remarks.
After the teasing, the Golden Horse Awards officially began. The first award related to "Blind Witness" was the Best Screenwriter Award, for which Nie Wei was nominated. Nie Wei didn't care much about whether he could win the trophy. If he did, he would be in a good mood, and if he didn't, he wouldn't be disappointed.
With such an indifferent attitude, Nie Wei seemed the most calm among the nominees, and others thought he was very confident that he could win the award.
Two minutes later, when the award presenter on the stage announced the result, it turned out that the winner was indeed Nie Wei.
"As an actor, I have received more Best Screenwriter trophies than I have received for acting awards. It seems that I need to work harder in my own work." Nie Wei couldn't help but smile after receiving the trophy from the award presenter on the stage.
There was also a chuckle from the audience. Almost every Golden Horse Award that Nie Wei participated in, except for the first one, he would win the Best Screenwriter Award in all other awards. On the contrary, Nie Wei has only won two trophies for the awards for actors. No wonder he said this.
Then Nie Wei simply thanked the company and crew colleagues, and then returned to his seat with the trophy.
"Brother, let me see the trophy." Jing Boran immediately begged when he saw Nie Wei coming back.
"Here, give it to you." Nie Wei threw the trophy to Jing Boran. After the boy got the trophy, he looked at the trophy with envy and desire. Nie Wei couldn't help but say happily: "In the future, when you make a movie, you can win one with your own ability."
Jing Bairan, who was studying the trophy carefully, was startled when he heard Nie Wei's words, then nodded firmly, saying that he would definitely be able to do it in the future.
Nie Wei won the first trophy for the "Blind Witness" crew, which was a good start. Everyone thought it was a good sign and was ready to make persistent efforts to get the second nominated award. Unfortunately, twenty minutes later, everyone showed regretful expressions.
Qi Songming finally lost to Luo Jiyi and Lu Shengfei from "Cape No. 7".
The latter two are very famous musicians in Taiwan, but they are more famous in another circle, that is, the game circle. The classic soundtracks in the famous "Xianjian" series, such as "Butterfly Love" and "Returning to Dreams and Traveling to the Fairyland", are all from these two people. They even have some intersections with Nie Wei. Some of the soundtracks in the stand-alone works launched by Nie Wei's game company also have their presence.
After everyone comforted Qi Songming a little, they soon ushered in the award for Best Supporting Actor.
This time, the crew of "Blind Witness" was not disappointed. Huang Xiaoming won the trophy with his subversive performance in the film.
When Huang Xiaoming stood on the podium and gave his acceptance speech, he even shed tears when talking about the audience who had questioned his acting skills before.
"Many people said that Huang Xiaoming, as an actor, only knew how to show off and only knew how to play those roles without connotation. Now holding this trophy, I can finally tell everyone that I am an actor and I can play many types of roles. I hope everyone can pay attention to my acting skills."
Getting this trophy undoubtedly gave Huang Xiaoming a lot of confidence. When he returned to his seat, Huang Xiaoming, who wiped away his tears, was already full of vigor and vitality.
Unknowingly, the Golden Horse Awards ceremony has come to an end, and several heavyweight awards are finally coming out.
This includes Shu Chang's nomination for Best Actress, which is also one of the most interesting awards tonight.
After all, whether Shu Chang can win the Best Actress award for the third time is the focus of many people's attention. Even though many media outlets are pessimistic about this, there are still many viewers who support Shu Chang to win the Best Actress award again.
Thanks to Mr. Anderson, kkken, and Fantasy Paradise for their generous rewards.
