Actor: Thank you.

"Congratulations to Lust, Caution and Park Ruomu for winning the Best Costume Design Award!"

A Hong Kong man of medium build walked onto the stage.

This Mr. Park, whose name sounds like he is from South Korea, won the trophy.

He is also considered a top veteran.

The styling designs for "Rouge" and "Ruan Lingyu" were all done by this person.

They are very good at wearing cheongsam.

The movie "The Sent-Down Girl" mentioned earlier was also directed by him.

Zhang Yuan also acknowledged that he could win this award.

After all, the costumes and hair designs in "Lust, Caution" are indeed excellent and cost a lot of money.

Even if you are an opponent, you cannot deny the excellence of others.

Because slandering your opponent is actually slandering yourself.

If you fight with Tyson, you’d be a hero if you could last a round.

It is shameful to fight with kindergarten kids and kill them all.

Zhang Yuan also applauded and congratulated.

Because so many people had CUE him before, the cameraman had already reacted like a conditioned reflex.

Whenever someone receives an award, the camera will be turned towards him.

There's nothing we can do about it, since all the previous award-winning crews invited him to join.

He was also the busiest person on the red carpet just now.

Many artists are discussing this.

"This guy has a wide network of contacts."

Zhang Yuan has friends all over the world, nicknamed Brother Xiaoqian...

"When you go on stage later, don't call my name." After confirming with his peripheral vision which direction the camera was turning, Zhang Yuan slightly turned sideways and said to Fan Bingbing.

"Why?" Fat Fan was very unhappy.

"Others can shout, but I can't?"

"Have I embarrassed you?" She took advantage of no one's attention and touched the back of his hand with her index finger in a teasing manner.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want."

Anyway, you won’t worry if you have too many debts, and you won’t feel itchy if you have too many lice.

It doesn't matter if the exposure is high, it's just for one night.

In addition to Zhang Yuan himself, other actors and practitioners attending the meeting also felt that they had heard his name too many times.

It seemed like this was his home court.

So after hearing that Lust, Caution won the award and no one called out his name, everyone relaxed a lot.

It's finally quiet.

But before one wave subsides, another wave comes to attack.

Zhang's three-part series just came to an end, and immediately the "Lust, Caution" three-part series started again!
"Congratulations to Lust, Caution for winning the Best Original Music Award!"

Jay Chou just won the "Best Original Film Song" award.

The Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee separated the performance song and BGM into two independent awards.

The scripts are also divided into "adaptation" and "original".

This will cover more different types of films.

The more films are covered, the more people will benefit from it, and more people will be willing to participate and support it.

The method is simple and effective.

The current Golden Horse Awards is very idealistic and ambitious, and is determined to make itself the number one award in Asia.

The Golden Horse Awards in later generations are a typical example of “if you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die.”

It is also a microcosm of many people and businesses on the island.

This BGM award, just like the styling award mentioned earlier, basically relies on spending money.

"Lust, Caution" used an overseas team and hired foreigners to compose the music.

If you close your eyes and listen to the original soundtrack of this movie, you would think it is the soundtrack of a high-quality Hollywood art film.

Anyone who listens to it will feel that the texture is very high-end.

But... Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in the audience, raised his hand and applauded like everyone else to express his congratulations.

But he still felt that the "Best Original Film Music" award should be given to another film.

“Congratulations to The Sun Also Rises for winning the Best Editing Award!”

Well, he should be given it.

This drama is Jiang Wenji's first film directorial work after "The Devils" was "banned".

Although the Radio, Film and Television Administration has never admitted that they banned Jiang Wen.

But the fact exists.

Many people say that "The Sun Also Rises" is difficult to understand.

But his confusion is not the same as the confusion in "Wuji" by poet Chen.

Jiang Wen asked Yang Shouchen to invest in this film, but judging from the box office, it lost money.

The total box office revenue was less than 3000 million, but the cost was 5000 million.

But Yang Shouchen did not complain or cut off cooperation. He even expressed his support and thought that the work itself was good.

Old Yang's way of doing things made Jiang Wen feel embarrassed.

Director Jiang is a man with a bad temper and is very stubborn.

Simply put, it means a donkey with a smooth head.

He has that animal-like spirit of not wanting to admit defeat.

"The Sun Also Rises" lost money and people didn't like to watch it, and he was actually not convinced about it.

I even felt like making dumplings to feed pigs.

So he acted cunningly, and in order to help Yang Shouchen make back the money he lost, he changed the story of "The Sun Also Rises", changed the skin, and filmed another movie.

And this drama is the famous "Let the Bullets Fly".

The core framework of these two plays is actually the same.

However, after the failure, Jiang Wen switched to a more popular style of expression, which immediately became popular.

Now he felt relieved.

Jiang Wen's level is still very high, and if you don't look carefully you can't tell that he is copying himself.

But a small button was still left, just like a serial killer would deliberately leave a mark at the crime scene.

Both plays used the original soundtrack of the same name, "The Sun Also Rises".

Although he said it was to save money, this piece is very expensive.

After all, it was Joe Hisaishi who did it.

At that time, Jiang Wen went to find Joe Hisaishi and made the old man very angry.

This is also an interesting matter. Jiang Wen first contacted a friend living in Japan to act as a translator.

And this translator is the brother of Wu Sang, who plays Ge You’s Japanese friend in If You Are the One directed by Feng.

His original surname was Wu, and he was a Chinese director living in Japan.

When Jiang Wen went there, she brought two things with her.

First, take out a piece of Mozart's "Requiem" and let Wu Sang say it to Joe Hisaishi.

“Just do better than this.”

Joe Hisaishi left cursing.

Let me write better than Mozart...

Then why can't you direct better than Coppola and Kubrick?
The person being scolded was the translator Wu Sang, but Jiang Wen was a carefree person and nothing happened.

At this moment he took out the second thing he brought.

Moutai!

Drink this with Joe Hisaishi.

After drinking, he said again.

"If it's really not possible, at least better than Mozart."

Hisaishi: ...

Anyway, Joe Hisaishi finally gave in to him.

The key is that Jiang Wen gave too much...

This is how the original soundtrack of the song, which most people thought was the "Let the Bullets Fly" march, came about, was actually called "The Sun Also Rises".

Whether in terms of national popularity or the music itself, this song is definitely more classic than the original soundtrack of "Lust, Caution" and more representative of the Chinese style.

Don’t even mention that it’s made by Japanese people, how can it have Chinese style?

Many classic large-scale Chinese-style music were actually composed by musicians from the island country.

Hisaishi Joe, Kitaro, and Sakamoto Ryuichi, three top Japanese musicians, have created many classic songs.

Especially Kitaro's "Silk Road" and "Forbidden City" series.

Especially in the "Forbidden City" series, domestic documentaries and videos are used very frequently, and most people even thought they were made by Chinese musicians.

Zhang Yuan knew in his heart that this award was given to "Lust, Caution".

In addition to the quality of the work itself, another reason is that the author is European or American.

Foreign stuff is just better...that’s probably the mentality.

At this time, Zhang Yuan looked at Jaycee Chan who was sitting not far from him.

“How many productions have I participated in?”

"So what does this young master say?" "The Sun Also Rises", "War Drums", "True Men"... This man has three films nominated.

Chen Long is trying his best to promote his own son, and people in the Hong Kong circle also cooperate with him.

Just like supporting Patrick Tse’s son Nicholas Tse.

It turns out that it’s easy to get things done with someone in the court.

I still have to work hard to manage everything myself, but others have everything just by having a good father.

Haha...it's a pity that I am not a decent person.

"The winner of the Best Newcomer Award is...Tang Wei!"

As the host finished speaking, "Lust, Caution" completed its triple-header.

"Oh..." Zhang Yuan heard a sigh from beside him.

Turning around, I saw Zhu Yawen looking unhappy with his face.

"Pay attention to your image and smile," he reminded quickly.

Only then did Yawen react.

The best newcomer award was taken away, so he has no hope today.

It's impossible for him to compete for the Best Actor award, but he still has this advantage.

"Tang Wei made a lot of sacrifices for this play, she even took off all her clothes," Zhang Yuan advised.

We also need to care about the mental health of our employees.

"I took it off too!" He still refused to accept.

"Who the hell is watching you take off your clothes..." Zhang Yuan cursed softly.

"Practice more, and only when you reach a certain level will you have a chance to win a prize."

"Otherwise you'll be scolded if you take it."

Zhu Yawen had no choice but to force a smile.

Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.

People's desires will continue to expand as their own circumstances change.

At first he felt it was a great honor to be able to act with Fan Bingbing and Tony Leung Ka Fai.

Later, I felt that it was a blessing for a movie starring me to have a box office of tens of millions.

But after having all these, I want to win an award.

I was still dejected because I didn't get it.

He no longer remembers how happy he was at first just to have a role to play.

This kind of gap and expansion can only be digested by oneself. Although it is better to become famous as early as possible, it will also bring other problems.

Zhang Yuan stopped preaching and turned his gaze to Jiang Zhiqiang.

Boss Jiang was in a good mood when he saw that Lust, Caution was a triple hit and he was enjoying the flattery and congratulations from the people around him.

He really hopes he can keep going and win the Grand Slam!
If the film can win the Grand Slam at the Golden Horse Awards, it will definitely be beneficial to the film's overseas copyright sales.

What’s more important is that you can bring honor to yourself. How proud you are!

But at this moment, he noticed Zhang Yuan smiling at him.

Hiss...I'd better not go for the Grand Slam.

Don't keep the face but lose the career.

If Lust, Caution is a big winner and Apple is nothing, then that would be a slap in the face to the people in mainland China...

This was the first and only time in Jiang Zhiqiang’s life.

Pray silently at the award ceremony that the next award winner will not be your film.

His prayers seemed to really work.

The next winners were a short film and a documentary called "Hollywood Chinese".

This documentary is also the only award-winning work that Cheng Chong participated in today.

This old lady doesn't look very happy.

Zhang Yuan thought she looked very pretty when she looked unhappy.

"Next, the winner of Best Supporting Actor is... Liang Jiahui for "Apple"!"

Brother Jiahui stood up and bowed, then waved to Zhang Yuan and went on stage to receive the award.

Winning an award no longer brings him much excitement. He just feels at home on the stage, speaking a lot of flattering words.

Jiang Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief as Apple finally achieved success.

But this is only the beginning.

"The winner of Best Director is... Ang Lee's Lust, Caution!"

"Lust, Caution" has won another victory.

But then.

"The winner of the Best Feature Film Award is...'Apple'!"

Best Director and Best Picture are the two most important awards besides Best Actor and Best Actress.

Divided into two families.

Jiang Zhiqiang turned around and made eye contact with Zhang Yuan.

He nodded too.

The relationship between the two can only be understood but not expressed in words.

Then, he placed his palm on the trembling white and tender little hand of Fan Bingbing beside him.

I just don't know if her trembling is due to nervousness, excitement, or both.

Because the highlight of the party is about to begin.

One dragon and one phoenix!
At this time, the award presenter was also replaced by a heavyweight.

Ang Lee, who had just received his award on stage, returned again to present the award with his partner Junru Wu, who was specially invited.

"Director Li, can we read together?"

"Come closer to me, don't be afraid, I won't take advantage of you." Wu Junru was still as carefree as usual.

Ang Lee appears to be very shy and gentle.

"Come, I'll open it... Can you see clearly? Do you want to wear reading glasses?" Wu Junru made fun of the famous director while deliberately delaying time to increase the anticipation.

"The winner of the 44th Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress is... Fan Bingbing for "Apple"!"

clap clap clap!
When the "Phoenix Crown" fell to the ground, the venue burst into applause.

Jiang Zhiqiang was one of the people who took the photos the hardest.

Fan Bingbing stood up excitedly with tears in her eyes.

His body was still trembling slightly.

Countless eyes and cameras swept towards her.

At this moment, she became the focus of the Golden Horse Awards and the brightest star!
"Wow." Zhang Yuan found that after attracting the attention of the whole audience, she stopped shaking.

The more attention it gets, the stronger it becomes.

This kind of trait cannot be learned by ordinary people.

Fan Bingbing did not go on stage immediately, but turned to him after standing up and spread his arms.

Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows helplessly, then put on a blessing smile, stood up and hugged her.

"Thank you." Fat Fan took the opportunity to whisper.

"Yeah." Instead of saying something nice like "you deserve it" or "you deserve it", he responded softly.

Without me, she would never get this "Phoenix Crown"!
For her, and for myself.

I can create a Golden Horse Film Queen.

This is what he tried so hard to show the world.

I can sell a film at the box office and I can also clear the way for a female star to reach the top.

Do you want to become the best actor or actress?
If you want, I can give you all of it.

come on!

I keep all my treasures here.

I want to start the era of "Big Movie Emperor"...

Whether it is "Apple" or Fan Bingbing's Best Actress, they are both ways for him to "show off his muscles".

Just as Uncle Li said in "A World Without Thieves".

“What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century?”

"Talent!"

So the question is how to attract talent.

Now it's very simple.

"Want to be the next Fan Bingbing?"

That's enough.

"Go, enjoy the glory." Zhang Yuan patted her on the back.

Under everyone's attention, Fan Xiaopang then hugged the director again, then twisted his body gracefully and walked onto the stage.

"grateful……"

Whether she was performing or unable to suppress her emotions, her big, charming eyes were filled with tears, like two grapes covered with morning dew.

Although he was excitedly speaking his thanks.

But her eyes were always fixed on a corner of the front row of the audience.

Because there sat the man who brought her all this, who made her the best actress... (End of this chapter)
