Chapter 1058 Returning to China to Attend the Awards Ceremony

Chapter 1063: Returning to China to Participate in the Awards Ceremony

As early as the day before Zhou Xia started filming "Chinatown 2", that is, on August 8, the Golden Rooster Award Organizing Committee held a press conference in the capital, and announced the nomination list for the 19th Golden Rooster Award.

The directors, screenwriters, actors and films of the entire Xiahua Film and Television can be said to account for nearly half of the nomination list.

There are six most important nominations for the best feature film. Xiahua Film and Television has Zhou Xia's "Starting Line" and Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior". As well as the blockbuster "Wolf Totem" co-produced by China and France, and the literary film "Snowy Sky".

As for the best screenwriter nominations, there are also two nominations for Zhang Ji's "Dear" and Zhou Xia's "Starting Line".

And others such as Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Photography, Best Music, Best Newcomer, etc., Xia Hua Film and Television's works are at least Two were nominated.

In addition, Lao Mouzi's "Return" won two nominations, and the works of many directors of Xia Hua Film and Television, such as "Fireworks in the Day" and "Blind Witness" both won one or two nominations.

With so many nominations, in addition to the quality of these works, it is also very important for the company to cultivate and make connections in the circle over the years.

Not to mention that now Xiahua Film and Television has signed contracts with talents in various fields in front of and behind the scenes in the film and television industry, even the directors, actors, screenwriters, musicians, producers, etc. that have cooperated with them are also many. These are the influence of Xiahua Film and Television reflect.

In the past few years, Xiahua Film and Television seemed to have a lot of limelight in various important domestic awards, but in the end they only won a few minor awards. They have never been able to let those old film and television companies fail. This time is different.

At least in the eyes of many people, as for the final result, Zhou Xia hopes that nothing will go wrong.

Although each awards ceremony is basically a row in the circle and the fruit is divided, it is also very important who gets the most points and who gets the most points.

Especially for Xiahua Film and Television, which ranks the third largest film and television company in the world in terms of assets and accounts for three-fifths of the domestic box office for the whole year, if it fails to do this, some people will feel that Xiahua Film and Television lacks influence at this level.

There is still half a month before the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony. Since I have to return to China to attend the awards ceremony, then the work arrangement will have to be reworked.

At least to ensure that during the two days when Zhou Xia is away, the suspension of work will not affect the filming of some important scenes.

Otherwise, all the work has been arranged, and as a result, the starring and director will no longer be able to shoot, and the various labor costs and the cost of venue equipment cannot be ignored.

Zhou Xia didn't just talk about the loss of tens of millions before.

So Zhou Xia plans to finish filming the scenes on the Brooklyn Bridge in the past three days, and then adjust the shooting plan to shoot some small indoor scenes.

Especially in some scenes of the policewoman played by Er Di, she has a lot of scenes with her boss, colleagues, and doctors. In this way, the ten days of filming can be completed, and when he returns to China, he can continue the previous filming. Plan, there is not much impact and loss. ,
Er Di was a little nervous about turning the door ahead of time to film her scene, but she felt very much looking forward to it. After all, this was her first time filming in a foreign country, and she was still a foreigner.

This is also a big challenge and opportunity for her. If she performs well, I believe that the companies in the United States will definitely give her some opportunities in the future.

"Er Di, relax, your English is fine now, you have to be stronger, don't think he is your boss, your request is reasonable and effective, this is a reflection of your professionalism."

Zhou Xia was filming Er Di reporting Uncle Qi and several detectives to his superiors, and the director was furious.

Erdi has rehearsed many times in China, probably because the filming just started today, some of them have not yet entered the state, Zhou Xia reminded with a microphone.

Er Di nodded in agreement, took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions again, and the scene started shooting again.

After that, Er Di was filmed six more times and finally passed. Next, she filmed the detectives she invited to Uncle Qi to share information. She showed a very strong, very powerful side.

It may be because of his personality and culture, Er Di finally managed to achieve the kind of strong and even fierce performance that Zhou Xia asked for.

Er Di gradually entered the state, and the shooting became smoother, and the time soon came to the night of September 9.

New York is 9 hours slower than domestic, so it is already noon on September 18 in China.

It takes about thirteen hours to fly back to China, so Zhou Xia can't delay too much, but the flight route still has departure arrangements, and we have to wait until dawn, so no matter how urgent it is, we still have to wait.

The previously arranged filming was completed, and when Zhou Xia left, some members of the crew happened to be on vacation for two days, while others were preparing for the next filming.

Er Di was too lazy to stay here, and planned to go back to China with Zhou Xia, in the name of promoting the movie, but in fact, he wanted to go to the red carpet and see the film festival.

After all, none of her current works have been nominated, and she has no excuse to participate.

Zhou Xia was busy with the editing that day, and returned to the hotel room. She was taking off her clothes and getting ready to take a shower, but Er Di's sleepy voice came to mind in the bedroom.

"Yiyi, are you back?"

"You are here, why don't you tell me, I won't make such a loud noise and wake you up."

Zhou Xia walked into the bedroom and saw Er Di sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, and then realized that she had been woken up.

"Why did I fall asleep?"

Er Di was talking in a daze, looking at the time next to him, it was almost twelve o'clock, and finally woke up in shock: "It's so late, isn't it going back to China tomorrow, why are you coming back so late?"

"Oh, it's not like you don't know about the editing work I'm busy with." Zhou Xia reluctantly stepped forward to pat her lovely face.

"But we only shoot for six hours a day, up to eight hours. Are you so busy?" Er Di came up and pulled Zhou Xia's arm and asked strangely.

Although the shooting task here is tight and the time is short, the working hours of the Americans are like this, and they can only follow the customs in the countryside. She thought that Zhou Xia would be able to spend more time with her every day, but he was still so busy.

"Hehe, how do you understand? In addition to editing, I also need to listen to the photographer, set designer, props, and scene recorder about the layout of the next day's shooting. This way, the preparation is sufficient, and the shooting will reduce the cost of the scene. Time."

Zhou Xia patted Erdi on the face, smiled helplessly, got up and walked to the bathroom.

Er Di suddenly showed surprise, looking at Zhou Xia's back, speechless.

She is also a person close to Zhou Xia, and knows a lot about Zhou Xia. In the past, Zhou Xia was relieved to hand over the work to the various departments of her subordinates.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xia did not hesitate to do so much work every day in order to shorten the date, ensure the quality and save the cost of filming in the United States this time.

He is currently worth one of the best in the country, and he is so diligent and economical, how much money he makes is enough, and he doesn't care about his body at all.

Er Di thought dissatisfiedly in his heart, and within a few minutes, he saw Zhou Xia came back from the shower.

She also expected Zhou Xia to play a little game, but Zhou Xia lay down and fell asleep quickly while hugging her.

After sleeping until five o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xia, Er Di and others who returned to China to participate in the awards ceremony all got on the special plane together and started the [-]-hour journey.
