Chapter 537 A powerful woman, the biggest winner

Chapter 537 A powerful woman, the biggest winner

After awarding the award to Princess Sweet, Zhou Yutang returned to his seat.

The task of awarding awards is accomplished, and there are still several nominations to come.

On the left is Lao Mouzi, and in front are the talented director Xu Ke and his wife Shi Nansheng.

During this period, the conversation inevitably came up about Zhou Yutang's new film, and Shi Nansheng took the initiative to speak: "Director Zhou, if your film "Chi Ling" is completed in February, I can help you contact the Cannes Film Selection Committee."

"Then I'll trouble Sister Shi."

Zhou Yutang was not pretentious either.

Shi Nansheng has been operating in France for a long time and has many connections. He recently received the French Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters from the French government's Ministry of Culture and Communications.

"no big deal."

Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "Lao Xu has often mentioned your movie during this period, and I'm looking forward to it too."

The relationship between Zhou Yutang and Xu Ke is also very good.

When filming "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", Xu Ke was hired as the art director. Zhou Yutang spent more time communicating with Xu Ke than he spent with Naza.

Brother Long is right, Wenrou Township is the Tomb of Heroes, and women will only hinder progress.

Both of them recognized each other's abilities and work style, and felt a certain sympathy for each other.

Zhou Yutang is famous for leading the flying fish girls, and the talented director is also very good at teaching actresses.

Such as Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story", gold inlaid with jade in "Dragon Gate Inn", and Thirteenth Aunt in "Once Upon a Time".

Both are film classics.

Even Yang Ying's role as the oiran in "The Dragon King of the City of Gods" received a lot of praise.

Xu Ke really knows how to teach an actress how to perform, even practicing it personally, and Zhou Yutang also learned a lot.

Xu Ke gave a lot of advice when filming the stunning scene of Guli Nazha in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

Tonight's Golden Horse invited April Day, who sang very hard on the stage. Several people in the audience talked about the main theme of the commercial film, "At that time, I was studying in America and watched the Peking Opera version of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" , I was very shocked and watched it dozens of times.”

"Later I watched "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" and learned more about it. The story of the battle of wits against bandits was so exciting that I suddenly thought that it would be very interesting to express this story in a movie."

When Xu Ke talked about the things he was interested in, his eyes lit up, his hands moved, and his tone was slightly excited.

Lao Mouzi nodded slightly, seeming to agree, but Zhou Yutang's heart moved slightly: "Director Xu wants to do "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"?"

"Yes, I've had this idea for a long time."

Xu Ke nodded, with uncontrollable excitement: "Director Zhou, do you think you have done something?"

As they spoke, the couple's eyes fell entirely on Zhou Yutang.

No one in the industry knows that Zhou Yutang has a unique grasp of the film market.

That Xuanhe incomparable record created an undefeated golden body for him.

Both Han Sanping of China Film and Television, as well as big bosses such as Ren Zhonglun and Guangwang Changtian of Shanghai Film and Television, all rely heavily on him.

It was a rare encounter, and Xu Ke also wanted to hear Zhou Yutang's thoughts.

Of course, what is more important is that the rights to adapt the original novel were acquired by Jiangdong Entertainment a few years ago. Without his support, this project would not be possible.

"Director Xu has a good vision and the main theme of commercial movies will definitely have a lot of market space."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the couple with a half-smile, then asked, "What contract did Director Xu and Hua Yi sign?"

Shi Nansheng, the head of the family, immediately understood and said: "The "Detective Dee" series contract signed by the studio and Huayi will not be affected. As for other investments, it will not be affected."

"Sister Shi."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly: "You can talk to Li Shuang in detail then."

The reason why I asked Xu Ke how to cooperate with Huayi was mainly because he didn't want to play with Huayi.

In Xu Ke's director's studio, he himself is responsible for filming, and Shi Nansheng is the big housekeeper of the studio, responsible for handling all other matters.

I just mentioned the matter in Cannes, which is actually to introduce the topic.

Shi Nansheng is indeed a very powerful woman.

You know, Xu Ke is almost already a known person. There is someone outside.

She could keep her composure and showed no signs of breaking up with Xu Ke.

Although he was curious about Director Xu's way of handling his wife, Zhou Yutang had no problem with his emotional intelligence and would definitely not take the liberty to ask about it.

The award ceremony is still going on. The best adapted screenplay was won by Liu Zhenyun's "1942". "Now Now" finally opened and won the best visual effects.

That thrilling and dazzling magic show swept the entire Asia, and the award was well deserved. The audience at the scene gave him warm applause.

The competition for Best New Director was also fierce, and the award was given to Wu Baige, who piloted the Eastern Titanic again.

At this time, he was recovering from a serious illness and looked good. His partner was the veteran actor Ti Lung.

"Chen Zheyi, "Parents Are Not Home"."

"Liang Lemin, Lu Jianqing, "Cold War"."

"Wen Muye, "Rescue My Mr."

"Mai Junlong, "Zombie"."

"Xu Zhaoren, "Sweet Secret"."

The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and without giving in, directly announced the winner: "The winner of the Best New Director is Director Chen Zheyi, congratulations."

The highlight of "Mom and Dad Are Not Home" was quickly shown on the big screen.

Director Chen is also a young and talented director. His debut short film was selected for the World Cinema Screening Project at the Cannes Film Festival.

Two consecutive films have appeared in Cannes. This film focusing on family ethics won the Caméra d'Or at last year's Cannes International Film Festival.

The Best Supporting Actress award was also won by Yang Yanyan of "My Parents Are Not Home". This also means that there will be almost no other awards for "My Parents Are Not Home" in the future.

However, for Director Chen, there has never been such a wonderful start to his career as a director.

I was talking to Lao Mouzi about "Eliminate Three Evils in Zhou Chu". According to Lao Mouzi's intention, when he finishes filming "Return", he will start preparations for the project directly after he returns after the year.

Zhou Yutang somewhat admired his vigorous energy and felt that Lao Mouzi was a bit like Lao Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tigers of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms.

When you are old and strong, your arrows are still sharp.

When the award ceremony entered the second half, the national teacher finally began to exert its strength.

Many people turned their attention to Zhou Yutang, including Liu Yifei who was smiling on the stage.

Standing next to Miss Liu is Aaron Kwok. Guo Tianwang, who just appeared at the Busan Film Festival last month, is very expressive: "Yifei, your movie "Love in a Bouquet" last year seemed to be a script written by director Zhou. ”

"Yes." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"The "Witness" I acted in this year was also written by Director Zhou. He can perfectly control various types of scripts."

"Witness" became a hot topic in public opinion after it went dark in September. It was also the highest-grossing movie in Guo Tianwang's career as an actor.

"Chilling" is worth over 300 million, and "Witness" has a total box office of 378 million.

The two investments are not at the same level at all, and the latter has an astonishing return rate of nearly 10 times.

"I think."

Aaron Kwok opened the envelope, looked at it, and said with a smile: "As an actor, the happiest thing is to receive a high-quality script. Yifei, come and read it."

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is Zhou Yutang for "Hunting"."

Liu Yifei took the card, her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled like a flower: "Congratulations, you are well-deserved as the best screenwriter."

Her eyes were like autumn water, glistening like autumn water, and her eyes were looking softly in the direction of Yu Tang below the stage.

At this time, countless people's eyes were focused on Zhou Yutang.

The most prestigious screenwriter with a gold medal in the circle has once again added a brilliant touch to his amazing record.

Taking the trophy from Aaron Kwok, Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei, listening to Miss Liu giggle: "Congratulations, Xiao Zhou."

"Thanks."

After all, this was a public place. Zhou Yutang only hugged her for more than ten seconds before letting go, taking the microphone and talking:

"Thank you to the judges of this year's Golden Horse, thank you to the award presenters, thank you to all the fans who like this drama, and director Zhang Yimou, who perfectly conveyed what this script wanted to express to the audience. Thank you everyone."

After so many years, Zhou Yutang has become a seasoned veteran, and it is impossible to be nervous.

After he walked off the stage with the trophy, the following awards had little to do with him.

I continued to chat with Lao Mouzi about "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", passed several awards, and when it came to the Best Supporting Actor, something unexpected happened.

The presenters were Huang Bo and Zheng Yuling.

As usual, the two award presenters were asked to coordinate their jokes. Zheng Yuling looked at Huang Bo, first made fun of his hairstyle, and then said:

"I haven't been to the Golden Horse Awards for 5 years, so I dressed very grandly today. Look at Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Zhou Yutang, and Liang Chaowei at the scene."

"They were all dressed up, but you came here in your pajamas."

"You haven't been to the Golden Horse Awards for 5 years. You may not be aware. I have been attending the Golden Horse Awards ceremony for the past 5 years."

Huang Bo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This feels like going home. Think about what you should wear at home. Of course, feeling comfortable is the most important thing."

Many guests in the audience applauded Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence, but unfortunately some people just don't have the brains.

The host Cai Kangyong, who is a joker, took over the topic. He first praised Zheng Yuling and said in a strange way: "Huang Bo, this is my home, not yours."

When he said these words, the originally lively scene suddenly changed.

Some brainless people in the audience were still laughing and giggling.

But for those experienced people, it is probably not difficult to feel that there is a bit of sensitivity in these words.

Jackie Chan and Andy Lau sitting in the front row, the smiles on their faces have disappeared, Aaron Kwok pursed his lips tightly and looked serious.

Zhou Yutang frowned, with a slight coldness in his eyes, and Zhang Yimou beside him also darkened his face.

"Haha, actually I just saw it."

Huang Bo's reaction was not unpleasant. He laughed twice and continued: "You are not fighting alone, there is a horse with you. When you grow up, I have only seen people riding horses, not horses. Riding people.”

Zhou Yutang secretly praised him and applauded him.

It is said that Huang Bo has a high emotional intelligence, and there is indeed a reason.

Whether in terms of politics or personal dignity, his response was watertight.

Cai Kangyong wore a suit on the red carpet tonight, and there was a horse doll on the back, which was very strange.

But apart from that, Huang Bo's words had several other meanings. The first was that he was replying to Cai Kangyong.

As far as the relationship between the two places is concerned, the mainland is undoubtedly the father.

Then there is the insinuation of Cai Kangyong's orientation.

Cai Kangyong has a boyfriend named Ma Qiren, which means he is a "horse rider".

The slightly tense atmosphere at the scene disappeared and burst into laughter.

After such a small episode, the awards ceremony continued.

Shu Qi and Dai Liren were the presenters of the Best Supporting Actor award, and Li Xuejian took home the award for his wonderful performance in "1942".

The best actress award went to Zhang Ziyi in "The Grandmaster".

Putting aside everything else, if she is given a role with a high degree of adaptability, International Chapter's performance will definitely not stretch her hips.

The Sunglasses King's "The Grandmaster" was cast into "The Legend of the Palace" by her.

In the Best Actor competition, Huang Xiaoming was not surprised to accompany him.

Zhang Songwen relied on his superb performance in "Hunting" to defeat Bay Province actors Li Kangsheng, Liang Chaowei, and Zha Zhahui.

Zhou Yutang was mentioned again in his acceptance speech, which attracted a lot of attention.

Lao Mouzi also won the best picture without any suspense.

However, in the competition for best director, it lost to "Outing" directed by Tsai Ming-liang.

Director Cai has a local household registration in Bay Province, which is also a way to win respect for local films.

After the award ceremony, Zhou Yutang did not attend the reception and was planning to fly directly to America tonight. Li An came over specifically to persuade him to stay: "Yu Tang, why don't you leave tomorrow morning?"

"Director Li, the itinerary is all arranged."

"Sorry, I'm really embarrassed tonight."

Director Li An sighed helplessly.

It was his 50th anniversary as king of the Golden Horse. The first half was perfect, but then something happened, like a rat droppings mixed into a pot of porridge.

"Haha, this is also an accident."

A smile broke out on Zhou Yutang's face.

In fact.

Each award presenter and host has a script, and they will dialogue backstage beforehand.

Everyone knows what should be said and what should not be said. Like Cai Kangyong, it is obviously the result of his free expression.

The award ceremony was just over, and he left immediately without being interviewed.

Liu Yifei also withdrew.

Miss Liu felt that these cocktail parties were boring, and she wanted to try spending time with Zhou Yutang in the air.

After a long journey, we finally landed in America. Aunt Liu also called, "Sissi, aren't you going back to the capital today?"

"Mom, I'm in America and I just got off the plane."

Miss Liu put on a pair of sunglasses and said confidently: "Xiao Zhou, you are right next to me. I want to see the finished film of "Super Body"."

Only then did Zhou Yutang realize that she had just made it up on the spur of the moment and didn't even tell Aunt Liu about it.

Now there is a business trip planned in the capital, so I have to postpone it.

"come back earlier."

Aunt Liu on the other end of the phone sighed and suppressed her thoughts of preaching.

Of course she knows what her daughter's temperament is.

Maybe I was under forced control before and was suppressed for a long time. Now I have reached the rebellious stage and I have my own ideas.

You tell her to go east, but she insists on going west, acting on her own will.

After calling to arrange Liu Yifei's schedule, Aunt Liu took a look at the entertainment news. Today's headlines were all about the Golden Horse Awards that had just concluded.

"Zhou Yutang won the Best Screenplay Award, and the magical CP reunited at the Golden Horse Awards!"

"Zhang Yimou's "Hunting" won the best feature film, Zhang Songwen was crowned emperor with a golden horse, and Jiangdong Entertainment became the biggest winner!"

"Zhang Ziyi burst into tears on the spot and expressed her affection to Wang Feng. Good things are coming for the two of them!"

"Cai Kangyong's remarks caused controversy, and Huang Bo's high-EQ reply received a wave of applause!"

"Brother Bo's emotional intelligence is really high."

On the way to New Line Company, Liu Yifei was reading the news while Zhou Yutang's phone beside her never stopped.

Wen Muye was reporting work to him, including the company's affairs.

We have reached an agreement with the new director, and "Charlotte Troubles" will be released in December.

The movie has already started to be promoted in October. Although Happy Twist is not well-known, with Zhou Yutang in it, it can be seen in domestic first-line variety shows.

The progress of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" is expected to be completed in December and can be placed on the Spring Festival schedule.

After arranging these two things, Zhou Yutang made several phone calls.

Liu Yifei narrowed her dark and bright eyes, touched his arm, and asked: "Xiao Zhou, I just heard you calling the top management of the TV station. Are you planning to retaliate against Cai Kangyong?"

Ni Nidu glanced sideways.

She also knew about tonight's award ceremony.

"You know all this?"

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.

Sometimes Liu Yifei is very stupid, but sometimes she is extremely smart.

"intuition."

"Your intuition is very accurate."

Zhou Yutang nodded and admitted frankly.

Liu Yifei is indeed right.

The Governor of Jiangdong was not big-minded. Since he didn't like the guy, he made arrangements later.

Cai Kangyong is very popular in the Bay Area, and many TV stations in the mainland have also extended an olive branch to him.

His variety show hosting fee is calculated on a collective basis, which is about NT$120,000 (approximately 24,000 RMB) in Taiwan Province, while his variety show quotation in mainland China starts at least 600,000!

Almost thirty times that of Bay Province!

In such a huge market in the Mainland, you can easily eat something that will make your mouth water.

But he couldn't eat this mouthful of meat.

He was included in Jiangdong's blacklist, and basically no first-tier TV station would use him.

Zhou Yutang used his own network resources, so it was not difficult to do this.

Zhou Yutang is quite satisfied with the overall effect of "Super Body", except for a few parts that need to be edited to make the viewing experience smoother.

Liu Yifei didn't stay long, and soon returned to China reluctantly.

The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the angrier she became. She issued twelve gold medals in a row. If she didn't go back, she would kill herself and come to America.

Before leaving, Liu Yifei pulled Ni Ni to whisper, which Zhou Yutang only found funny.

Next there is the itinerary for the reception.

Probably because he was worried that he had fallen into a honey trap.

When the two were chatting not long ago, Zhou Yutang mentioned Scarlett's figure, which made Miss Liu a little bit offended.

Zhou Yutang unexpectedly met Zhang Ziyi at the reception.

The international award winning Golden Horse Award winner came here to attend the reception - she is a member of the Academy of Film and Television, and the annual Oscar awards season is also her busiest time.

Zhang Ziyi took the initiative to express her goodwill and made it clear that she would vote for it.

Zhou Yutang has almost mastered the top resources in the domestic entertainment circle, and she also wants to get on the big ship of Jiangdong.

But her vote alone is not enough, public relations still need public relations.

Harvey is a professional at this.

After leaving the matter to Bob, Zhou Yutang returned to the crew and continued the filming of "Chi Ling".

Pei Yanzhi on the stage was still the best at the song "Peach Blossom Fan", in which Li Xiangjun's peach blossom fan was stained with blood.

It's just that today's performance was more decisive than before.

Zeng Li was behind the monitor, almost fascinated by the sight. At this moment, Zhou Yutang looked like the magnificent Mr. Pei.

The emotion of the whole play also reached its climax in the final fire.

The sky-high flames in the theater pierced the dark night.

It also burned away the panic of the jackals in the room. Pei Yanzhi died generously, and the light and fire reflected the wrinkles on Li Xuejian's face, stretching them inch by inch.

"pass."

Zhou Yutang checked the last shot and shouted with relief.

Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to achieve the best shooting effect, the last scene where the theater building collapsed in the fire was shot in real locations, which cost a lot of money.

First, tons of burning wood are laid along the preset track, and adjustable nozzles are used to generate flames and control the fire to spread extremely quickly, covering the ground with dust and ash.

In order to prevent accidents, the local fire department was specially invited to be nearby and ready for rescue at any time.

The whole process had some twists and turns, but fortunately there was no danger in the end.

After more than a month of filming, the movie was finally completed.

Many actors have actually finished filming and left the crew, but Han Sanping came all the way to attend the wrapping banquet. His precious daughter is a producer, and Han Sanping's face darkened as soon as he said:

"Old Han, why don't you come over for a drink?"

"That's ridiculous. I'm here to discuss work with Yu Tang."

"You've already retired, why are you still talking about work?"

Only Han Jianu dared to tease the mountain eagle like this, and the crew suppressed laughter very professionally.

"."

Han Sanping obviously had nothing to do with his leaky little cotton-padded jacket.

Although she still has a poker face, when asked about Han Jia Nyeo's performance on the set, she naturally showed concern.

"Teacher Li, thank you for your hard work."

At the finals banquet, Zhou Yutang took the initiative to raise a wine glass and toasted Li Xuejian.

Li Xuejian drank drinks. He used to skip meals without drinking wine in the morning, and he was not interested in other alcoholic beverages. He only drank Erguotou.

Later, I developed a physical condition and stopped smoking and drinking. I am now in good health.

As long as the feelings are there, whatever you drink is wine.

Li Xuejian had a smile on his face: "Yu Tang, I still have a play to play, and I'll be leaving tonight. If you need a notebook in the future, you're welcome to come to me at any time."

"no problem."

Zhou Yutang agreed wholeheartedly: "Teacher Li, if I have a suitable play, I will definitely come to you."

His filming style is full of intensity. Apart from the daily shooting tasks, there are still meetings after the end.

Zhou Yutang was young and strong, and had long adapted to this working mode, but Li Xuejian found it a bit hard to handle. However, he was full of professionalism and declined the special treatment, gritting his teeth and persevering all the way.

After the wedding banquet, Zhou Yutang asked Chen Xi to arrange a send-off for Teacher Li.

Han Sanping had a rare moment of leisure. Now that his work has basically been handed over, he only has the project "In the Name of the People" left in his hands.

This is CCTV's opening show of the year, and the first-round asking price is not high.

But this show, besides making money, has a far-reaching meaning.
