Chapter 563 An actor who doesn't want to be a director is not a good actor! (Second more please subscribe!)

"Thanks to the Golden Horse Awards, and thanks to the organizing committee and jury for recognizing the movie "The Martian"!"

Tang An came to the stage and bowed slightly to the audience. He took the trophy and certificate from Lin Zhiling and held them up in front of him. With a little excitement, just right!

The perfect performance showed the joy, touch, and excitement of a successful director winning the Golden Horse Award, and it was not exaggerated at all.

After all, for a person in his position, he had to be reserved.

Then came the acceptance speech. Tang An first thanked the Golden Horse Awards organizing committee and jury, and then talked about the difficulty of filming "The Martian".

At the same time, he also highly praised several other directors who were nominated.

"Director Lou Ye is actually a director I admire very much. This time his "Mystery of the Floating City" expresses the sense of reality and modernity that many movies lack, and shows the sad reality in the floating shadows of the prosperous age."

There is still a half sentence that Tang An didn't say: Lou Ye's "Mystery of the Floating City" this time combines art and commerce very well, and the box office is higher than the sum of all his previous films combined.

This must not be said in public, because his previous films have not been released at all, and this time "Mystery of the Floating City" only has a box office of more than 500 million.

Then came Uncle Gao Yu and Du Qifeng. Anyway, Tang An praised them.

Uncle Gao Yu can be regarded as a relatively successful director who has transformed from a TV series to a film. He has just finished filming the film "A Romantic Affair", which is an adaptation of Hai Yan's novel.

It is said that it took seven years of preparation and two years of filming, starring Wang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, Wang Xiaoming is also one of the producers, and the husband and wife will perform on the same stage.

Praise yourself first, then others, and then talk about how meaningful your film is and what market it wants to promote.

But Tang An saved Huang Bo from the end, and smiled as he talked about what he just said.

"Actually, the directors that Huang Bo just said just called "action" and "click". Someone else did it, and the director was there to point and swear."

"Look, everyone, before filming, we need to coordinate the order and sequence of the shooting. The set crew sets the scene and the makeup artist puts the actors on before shooting. During filming, there are lighting engineers, photographers, sound engineers, and special effects teams. There is also a dedicated post-production editor who edits after the post-production.”

As an actor, Huang Bo's words like this are easy to provoke people, because the actor himself is weaker than the director. Which director likes an actor who looks down on the director like this.

But Tang An is different. Whether you accept it or not, he holds the domestic box office record and the global box office record of Chinese-language movies. His personal box office has exceeded 37 billion yuan, so he is qualified to say this.

The people in the audience can only listen and cannot refute, unless you are better than him at some point.

Tang An smiled and continued, "From the preparation to the completion of the film, everyone in the crew has to go through the process, but the director alone seems to have done nothing, but in the end the film still has to be labeled as a director.

For example, when "The Martian" is mentioned, everyone thinks of Tang An's works, not Liu Ye's works, nor the works of special effects companies. Looking at it this way, it seems that only people with nothing to do can be directors.

At that time, I thought it was so cool to be a director, and it was fine to swear and yell occasionally, so I thought that I would also be a director in the future.

Since when did I start to observe the director's work, and after a long period of observation, I realized that this profession is far from easy as I thought! "

Tang An turned and said seriously, "Every part of the crew is responsible for their own work, but the only person who has participated in the film production from beginning to end is the director.

In the early stage of casting, the director needs to select the most suitable actor who has the influence of the role and has good acting skills.

The selection of locations and studios is in the charge of the set crew and the location crew, and it is the director who makes the final decision.

Lighting, recording, photography, including actors' performances during filming, every detail has to be decided by the director, and if not, how to improve it.

Post-production and editing should also allow special effects companies and editors to understand the director's understanding of the film. "

After a long speech, there was nothing wrong with it, and everyone in the audience applauded respectfully.

Some people in the industry took it seriously, while others dismissed it.

The organizing committee didn't urge Tang An to come down quickly. It happened that the progress of the previous awards was too fast, and there was more than enough time. Tang An was still helping them.

Huang Bo next to him didn't understand why Tang An was helping him out of the siege and quickly answered the question.

"Actually, I just thought that directing was very easy at first, but later I found out that many directors have to take care of too many things. He has to understand photography, see whether the picture is good or bad, and guide the actors to perform. The lighting is wrong. It should also be corrected in time, just like Director Tang, who completed the movie "Shark Shore" by himself and is proficient in all departments."

Tang An smiled, "Huang Bo's words are serious. The director doesn't have to be good at everything, but you have to be able to distinguish good from bad, because you have the final say on the entire crew, and you have to ensure that there are no mistakes in every shot. It's really not that easy."

All of a sudden, it seemed to turn into a commercial bragging. After chatting for four or five minutes, Tang An stepped down under the applause of the crowd again.

Then the best feature film award was presented, and "Detective Hunter Zhang" directed by Uncle Gao Yu beat "The Martian", "Death Gold", "The Mystery of the Floating City" and "Girlfriend Boyfriend" to win the best feature film jackpot.

This is also a realistic movie, adapted from real people and real events, and none of the actors in the film have one actor, none at all.

Among the dozens of actors, there are well-known publishers, producers, newspaper directors, middle school students, directors of police stations, policemen, hosts, Internet writers, drummers of the Black Panthers, folk singers, joint general managers of Huayi Brokers, directors, graphic designer, musician
All actors are people from all walks of life, but there is no actor, not even an amateur.

There is no big objection to winning the best picture. Such a film is based on real people and real events, and there is no actor. It is already a big problem to make it well. It is more difficult than the later "I am a passerby" I don't know how many times.

Although "I Am a Passerby" is a group performance, it is easy to train, and the difficulty lies in the performance.

But "Detective Hunter Zhang" has people from all walks of life, and their status is not low. They are better than the director Uncle Gao Yu, so they can't be treated like ordinary actors.

Huang Bo still teased, saying that if every director is like him, the actors will lose their jobs.

Everyone was happy, all parties won awards, and Tang An went back with three trophies.

Finally, there is the Outstanding Formosa Film Worker of the Year, and the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was given to Shi Jun, the actor of the first version of "Dragon Inn", Shi Jun, who is 77 years old.

After the organizing committee delivered the closing speech, everyone began to leave in an orderly manner.

As the best director winner, Tang An also accepted a reporter's interview for a while.

Then there is the evening party held by the organizer, and basically everyone will attend.

Inevitably, there was another social gathering, and Cai Zhiping introduced all the big bosses of Baodao Films, some official and some private, to Tang An one by one.

She was the one who introduced Tang An, not anyone else.

The status and status are different. When you stop there, people who think they are qualified will come together, even if they look familiar.

After one round, those who had impressions before they came out, none of them could be recognized.

All kinds of directors, producers, film company bosses, male and female entertainers, some flirtatious, some pretending to be innocent, all want to attract Tang An's attention.

None of these people are useful to him, so just deal with it casually.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Bo also came to express his thanks to Tang An.

"Tang Dong, thank you so much for being on stage just now, I would like to offer you a toast!"

Tang An clinked a glass with him, and warned, "Huang Bo, is this your first time hosting, you really have to be careful with what you say. Although Hong Kong and Taiwan movies are not as good as before, some jokes should be avoided."

"This is the first time a host of this kind has been hosted. I originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere."

Huang Bo also regretted his recklessness, some jokes were really not suitable for this occasion and the target.

Although it won't offend many people, there is always a lump in their hearts.

Fortunately, they are all from Xiangjiang. Now Xiangjiang Films and Xiangjiang Stars are no longer as competitive in China as before.

Huang Bo thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment, "Director Tang, do you think I can be a director?"

"Oh, you also want to be a director. There's nothing wrong with that. More and more people are changing careers now." Tang An asked curiously.

"I want to try it too, but I don't know what to do."

Huang Bo is a person with a high emotional intelligence, but he has climbed all the way to his current position after more than ten years, and he also has his own arrogance.

Although what he just said about the director was just his thoughts when he first started filming, he definitely doesn't think so now.

But there must be many people who will arrange him behind the scenes, and it will spread throughout the entertainment industry within a day.

Xu Zheng can be a director, Guo Jinming can do it, Zhao Wei can do it now, there is no reason why he can't do it!
Make a successful movie, and no one will make irresponsible remarks!

"Just do it if you have an idea, but before you actually take action, you must be fully prepared. It is best to study the director systematically, then go to the crew to observe more, practice it, and start a movie after being fully prepared. " Tang An encouraged.

"Then can I ask you for advice if I don't understand?"

"Of course, but I also have to film. You can come to me whenever you have time." Tang An smiled.

It's true that actors who don't want to be directors are not good actors. It is estimated that if "To Youth" directed by Zhao Wei becomes a big hit, more laymen will switch careers to become directors.
