I'm not just a director

On the stage, Jiang Pei'an and Sun Zhou stood side by side.

Left and right are Zhang Guoli and Cao Ying.

Cao Ying has been a host since 94, and her ability to control the field is not bad.

It's interesting to say that in 94, Cao Ying went to a TV station where a friend worked in Hong Kong Province to play.

Just in time for them to record a show, they couldn't find the host temporarily.

So the TV station put the microphone into her hand and said, "Go up".

So Ying Cao conducted an interview for them.

After the results were released, they thought the effect was not bad, so they signed a one-year contract with Cao Ying.

Since then, he has embarked on the road of hosting and performing arts.

People who have watched CCTV's "Variety Show" should have the impression that she was the host at that time.

However, Cao Ying, who has been filming TV dramas since 92, has never been able to ignore her love for TV dramas.

In the end, he left CCTV for acting...

Zhang Guoli took Cao Ying's words and said with a smile:
"Two days ago, I had a phone call with Han Shanping and Han Dong.

He said Director Jiang is a very talented director, besides singing, he is also good at acting. "

"I know this, "Love Has an Afterlife", it moved me to tears..."

When it was mentioned that "Love Has an Afterlife", the fans in the audience burst into cheers.

Cao Ying continued:
"There are many fans of "Love Has an Afterlife" who came to our site.

I'm just curious, as a director, you should be very busy at ordinary times, how do you manage your time to do these other creations? "

The people in the audience also waited expectantly for Jiang Pei'an's answer.

Jiang Pei'an is a film and television rookie who has risen in the past two years, and his debut is the peak.

Not only is the filming good, but the singing has been recognized by the Hundred Flowers Award, and the acting skills are obvious to all.

And the most curious thing is that Jiang Pei'an is rarely exposed to the public, and there is very little about his current situation.

There are also very few friends in the circle, and there has been almost no movement in the past year.

Such a strong and low-key person is really exciting.

Jiang Pei'an held the microphone and said with a smile:
"Actually, it's nothing. About one sentence can sum up my situation."

"A word?"

Cao Ying asked curiously:
"What?"

Jiang Pei'an smiled slightly and said:
"An actor who can't sing is not a good director."

?

Hearing this, Cao Ying was taken aback, what kind of answer is this?
It's a bit weird.

All of a sudden, she was confused.

Zhang Guoli answered from the side:

"This passage contains a lot of information. He is indeed a master who is good at time management. He doesn't even talk long-winded."

Hearing this, the audience in the audience laughed.

Cao Ying also reacted, and said with a smile:
"Just like Uncle Guoli said, Director Jiang is really concise.

I would like to ask Director Sun Zhou why he chose Director Jiang to sing the movie's theme song..."

The awards were presented in an orderly manner. After Jiang Pei'an and Sun Zhou went down, the best art, sound recording, photography and other awards were presented on the stage...

In the middle, there will be another star performance.

The man with long hair and singing hard on the stage is Wubai.

Today, he has not unlocked the achievement of "standing on stage and listening to five hundred songs" like later generations.

After the end of the five hundred and one songs, the competition for the best actor began.

A total of 12 nominees for Best Actor this time are mostly well-known actors.

For example, Wang Qingxiang, Wang Xueqi, Wang Zhiwen, Chen Baoguo, etc.

Jiang Pei'an's "Hurricane Rescue" and Sun Zhou's "Beautiful Mom" ​​were also shortlisted, with their leading actors Yu Rongguang and Gao Xin respectively.

Gao Xin is the one who plays the son in "Pretty Mom". Like the characters in the play, he is also a deaf-mute child.

Although both were selected, Jiang Pei'an and Yu Rongguang looked at each other and saw the emotion in each other's eyes.

No show.

Indeed, if there is one movie that cannot be avoided in 2000, it must be "Life and Death".

This main theme movie can be said to have basically won all the awards.

You must know that the box office of this movie is 1.2 million, which belongs to the existence of "easily surpassing" "Taken".

Of course, how much water is in the box office... I can't say.

As Zhang Guoli and Cao Ying slowly announced the list of candidates, the live music continued to advance.

"The winner of No.20 Best Actor in the [-]th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films is..."

Zhang Guoli originally wanted to play tricks to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, but seeing the audience in the audience with a clear look, he said directly:

""Life and Death" Wang Qingxiang!"

Immediately there was warm applause from the audience.

In all fairness, Wang Qingxiang's acting skills are good, and later generations have participated in many popular film and television dramas.

His performance in "The Choice of Life and Death" is also remarkable. He was once considered the mayor by the audience, and he would be reported by ordinary people when he walked on the street.

……

"The next step is the highlight of our Hundred Flowers Awards, but I would like to ask Cao Ying a question before presenting the awards."

Zhang Guoli looked at Cao Ying and asked.

"Uncle Guoli, please write a question, I will accept the test."

Cao Ying said cheerfully.

"Do you know why our Hundred Flowers Award is called the Hundred Flowers Award?"

Zhang Guoli asked.

Hearing this question, Jiang Pei'an, who was sitting in the audience, had a particularly familiar sense of déjà vu.

My thoughts suddenly returned to the awarding scene of the Huabiao Awards, where Chen Daoming took the school's international chapter exam...

The international chapter's answer... can be described as embarrassing for people to dig their toes.

Of course Cao Ying is not as sharp-edged and superficial as the international chapter. She smiled and said:

"Uncle Guoli, you will definitely not trouble me, I have done my homework before coming here, the full name of the Hundred Flowers Award is the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films.

The Hundred Flowers Award represents the audience's views and evaluations of the film, and the awards are voted by the audience. As for why it is called the Hundred Flowers Award, it is to reflect the literary and artistic policy of "let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend". "

Cao Ying's answer made the audience applaud. In fact, some celebrities really come to walk the red carpet, and they don't even know these basic things.

"Well, that's a good answer. Since you just mentioned that the audience voted for their favorite movies, do you know the voting status?"

Zhang Guoli asked with a smile.

This question is a bit professional, even embarrassing.

Cao Ying smiled and said:
"It's a good thing I did my homework before I came, otherwise you really stumped me."

Cao Ying cleared her throat, took the microphone and said:
"This year's Hundred Flowers Awards received a total of 719133 votes, including 166461 online votes, and 637961 valid votes."

Whoa!
The audience applauded like thunder, it seems that Cao Ying really worked hard.

This set of data cannot be memorized casually. Cao Ying replied that she did not look at the receipt card and said that she memorized it all by herself.

"It's really awesome. To be honest, I didn't even write down this set of data."

Zhang Guoli said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Ying patted her chest and said:
"Fortunately, Uncle Guoli, you didn't remember it, and I didn't remember that set of data either. I made up nonsense."

"Hahaha."

The audience in the audience laughed together, and Zhang Guoli was also stunned.

Cao Ying chuckled and said:
"I'm kidding, hahaha, the stats are real."

Zhang Guoli wiped his forehead and shouted:

"It almost became an accident on the air, the young people nowadays are really amazing, okay, let's keep it out of the way...

Go straight to the final prize announcement section. "

"Okay, let's take a look at the shortlisted films for the best feature film of the 24th Hundred Flowers Film Awards!"

Cao Ying took the card in her hand and continued to read:

"They are, "Choice Between Life and Death", "Forever 19", "Saving Love", "Hurricane Rescue"..."

A total of [-] films were shortlisted this time, all of which were popular last year.

As the most important award of the Hundred Flowers Film Festival, the Best Feature Film Award naturally attracts a lot of attention.

From the third edition of the Hundred Flowers Awards, three films will be selected as the best feature film of each edition.

It was not until 2004 that the 27th session became a single film award.

Jiang Pei'an and Sun Zhou looked at each other and smiled, they were also brothers in need.

Jiang Pei'an won the Best Music Award and then has no income. Sun Zhou is better than him, and he also has an award for Best Actress.

Well, Gong Li took it.

When the names of the [-] shortlisted films were displayed on the big screen, everyone held their breath.

Zhang Guoli didn't let it go, and said loudly:
"Let's congratulate Call to Live, Beautiful Mom and ... Taken let's congratulate them."

Zhang Guoli shouted loudly holding the card in his hand.

The audience applauded thunderously, and Sun Zhou hugged Jiang Pei'an happily.

It's really not easy!

In fact, only Jiang Pei'an was a little confused.

Ah, this is different from what he imagined.

He clearly remembered that the three films that won this time were "Choice of Life and Death", "Beautiful Mother" and "Fragrant Vow".

As for why I remember it so clearly, the reason is that this time the award presentation was a mess.

I remember that after the best movie selected this time in the previous life was released, it was immediately criticized by the media.

"Among the 3 best feature film awards of this Hundred Flowers Awards, it is reasonable for "Life and Death" to win.

The award of "Pretty Mom" ​​is a bit confusing for the audience, because its box office and audience are really limited.

The award-winning "Fragrant Oath" directed by Wang Xiaotang surprised the audience even more.

The film has not yet been released, so how could it win the "People's Choice Award"?

At this point, the organizers adopted the usual old tactics, either saying that the film was very popular when it was released in the army, or how high the ratings were when it was broadcast on the CCTV movie channel.

One thing is certain is that the votes of the army will be highly unified, but the Hundred Flowers Award should not be a "army award".

This kind of conflict happened when "I Still Love You Tomorrow" starring Pan Changjiang was screened in 2000. "

Also since this year, the Hundred Flowers Award has gradually lost popular support. Just kidding, the Hundred Flowers Award that best represents the audience award has almost become an "official" and "pork-sharing" award. What authority and popular support are needed...

Jiang Pei'an immediately realized that this should be the butterfly effect caused by his appearance.

Compared with "Fragrant Pledge", which has not yet been released, "Taken" is more resistant, and almost won the box office champion in 2001.

"Yes, please, please invite the winners of our three films to come on stage."

On the stage, Zhang Guoli invited with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an and Sun Zhou took the stage together, and Yu Benzheng, the director of "The Choice of Life and Death", also walked up from the audience slowly.

"Come on, three, please come here."

Cao Ying invited with a smile.

"Three, let's talk about your impressions of winning the award. Which one will come first?"

Three people, you recommend me, I recommend you, and in the end, Yu Benzheng, a film and television senior, spoke first:

"Thank you, thank you for the favor of the organizing committee, and also thank the audience friends for their support. To win this award is undoubtedly the recognition of "Life and Death Choice"."

Yu Benzheng is an old director. He graduated from the Directing Department of Shanghai Film Academy in 1963.

In the same year, he was appointed as the director of the Magic City Haiyan Film Studio, and later worked all the way to the positions of assistant director and director.

He really walked up from the bottom step by step.

Later, he served as the deputy director and director of Modu Film Studio.

Since 1994, he has served as the deputy director of the Magic City Film Bureau and the Art Committee of the Magic City Film Studio.

He has directed many films, such as "Sunrise" won the Best Film Award at the [-]th Hundred Flowers Awards, and the first Literary and Art Award at Shanghai Metropolis;

It's really admirable that such a veteran director is still working on the front line with gray hair.

"Movies in our country linger in the battles between art and commerce most of the time.

Perhaps the oriental tradition cannot sew the sharp boundary between art films and commercial films like Hollywood, and the joint relationship between commercial and vulgar is difficult to erase.

However, with the development of the times, the custom of advocating art and deprecating business has gradually faded away. "

The old director spoke slowly, and the audience in the audience was also listening. Obviously, the old director's acceptance speech gave people a different feeling.

"Although we need to call on Huaxia films to pay more attention to the market and the needs of the public, the history of the prosperity of Huaxia films seems to show how important the support of art is.

What we have seen so far proves that without the color of art, the appeal of Chinese films cannot be discussed.

Just as without the support of business and technology, Hollywood will lose its luster.So today's Chinese movies can still see how the trajectory of art meanders on an almost muddy road, commerciality and artistry are two legs that the film market cannot do without..."

The old director's words seemed a bit heavy, although he had gray hair and a somewhat stooped figure, just like those directors in China who advocated the supremacy of literature and art.

But being able to say these words is enough to prove that he has been learning and advancing with the times.

At least he can express the coexistence of art and commerce, and this view is enough to make many people feel ashamed.

"Fortunately, our colleagues did not give up..."

As he spoke, the old director held Jiang Pei'an's hand kindly, and said kindly:
"So, we have a high-quality commercial film like "Taken". To be honest, if it weren't for some reasons, I think "Taken" directed by Jiang Pei'an would undoubtedly be last year's box office champion."

As soon as Yu Benzheng said these words, many people were surprised immediately.

Although everyone knows that for some reason, "Taken" did not top last year's box office champion.

But it is really admirable to say this so publicly, and on the stage of the Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

It is enough to see the mind of this card.

Jiang Pei'an shook his head, looked at Yu Ben seriously and said:

"As you said, movies cannot be separated from artistry and commerce. I think your main theme movies are also spiritual food that the people cannot live without..." (End of this chapter)
