Chapter 104 Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers (Part 2)
The acting school started from 1998. Chapter 104. The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers were chatting, and suddenly there was a commotion at the door of the venue. Everyone looked up and saw a group of people walking in from the door. The beginning was a middle-aged man in a suit and lace.
The person next to him was director Zhang Yimou in black Zhongshan suit. There were also several young men and women following him.
This situation is much bigger than the previous Huabiao Awards ceremony, because "No One Left" which was shortlisted for the Best Feature Film Award at this Golden Rooster Awards just won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival last month.
The director won the award for the second time and was also the first Chinese director to win the highest awards and honors of the European Film Awards for the third time.
Director Zhang created history, and at the same time left Director Chen Da, who has always been as famous as him, far behind.
Today is the premiere of Director Zhang's new work, which naturally attracted the attention of countless media and filmmakers. Not only were the reporters pointing the camera at them and shooting hard, but many familiar or unfamiliar filmmakers also stepped forward to meet Director Zhang.
The group said hello.
"Oh, Xiao Yizi is here to have fun too!"
Liu Ye pointed at the thin girl wearing a black dress beside Zhang Yimou and shouted.
"And Teacher Zheng."
"Hey, is that guy next to Mr. Zheng the last musical class?"
The male lead in the movie "My Father and Mother" is Zheng Hao, who is the body shape teacher of the Central Academy of Drama; another actor is Sun Honglei, who is also a college student who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama Musical Class.
Li Tang found something interesting, that is, the movies that were shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Awards, almost all of them, from directors to behind-the-scenes creators, come from Beijing Film Academy. However, most of the actors they selected were students who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.
p>
There are very few actors from Beijing Film Academy, but most of them are older generations. Li Tang and Ning Jing, who was shortlisted for Best Actress, are probably the only graduates from the 1990s in the Shanghai Film Academy.
In fact, Ning Jing is not a serious professional student in the Department of Performance in Shanghai Theatre. She attended the model performance training class of Model Performance in Shanghai Theatre back then, and the threshold is very low. Basically, she can go to the program with money. It is a revenue-generating project of the Shanghai Theatre.
But they are very popular now. Shanghai Opera needs this celebrity alumnus, and they also need the halo of Shanghai Opera, a famous school, which can be said to be a hit.
There were many people around Director Zhang and his group to say hello, and Liu Ye even waved to his classmates in the crowd. The teacher frequently greeted him. Li Tang did not join in the fun, and stood by and watched calmly.
Director Xiao Teng is not so arrogant, and stands with Li Tang, and is very disdainful of Liu Ye's behavior of being so arrogant.
The director is also in the circle. From the root, his father, Director Teng Wenji and Zhang Yimou are in the same circle. They are both generals under Wu Tianming, the director of the Western Film Factory. In private, Director Teng has to call Zhang Yimou "Uncle Yimou"
.
Director Zhang and his group nodded and greeted the people on both sides while walking in. When they walked past Li Tang and Xiao Teng, Director Zhang suddenly stopped and turned around and looked in the direction of the two.
Xiao Teng's heart was proud. It was uncle Yimou who always said hello when he saw his eldest nephew. In fact, he came with his father this time to see the world and get familiar with him, indicating that the Teng family was no longer there.
The second generation has been officially released.
Just as he tidied up his suit and opened his mouth to welcome Zhang Yimou's greeting, he heard Zhang Yimou reach out to Li Tang and said: "Hello, Xiao Li, we're meeting again."
At this moment, Li Tang was really flattered. Just now, he witnessed Director Zhang only greeted some veteran filmmakers with his own eyes, and the others smiled and nodded.
He hurriedly stepped forward, held Director Zhang's hand with both hands, and said with a little excited expression: "Hello, Director Zhang! Congratulations on winning another award. I wish you a big shot in your new film!"
"Thank you!"
Director Zhang exerted a little force on his hand to express his gratitude, and then nodded to Director Teng, who was standing aside with awkward expression, as a saying hello.
Anyone with the discerning eyes present could see that Director Zhang was definitely looking at Li Tang differently. Many people's eyes at Li Tang became subtle, and they seemed to want to explore why this young man could stop Director Zhang from greeting him.
When Director Zhang and his party came over, Director Teng immediately asked in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with the director?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just the second meeting."
In fact, Li Tang himself was also confused. He couldn't figure out why Director Zhang stopped to say hello to him. Of course, he wouldn't put his doubts on his face, but just told the truth calmly.
"Tsk, can you speak well?" Director Teng looked disbelieving.
"Really." Li Tang was innocent.
"I believe it!"
You are telling the truth, but what you show is easy to misunderstand. Anyone who is well versed in dating understands it. This is called taking advantage of the situation. Using Xun Ge'er, who has two jujube trees at home, this is called
Pull the tiger's skin and pull the flag.
Although Li Tang didn't know Director Zhang's intention, he knew that he must have reasons why Director Zhang was interested. Before he found this reason, he didn't mind using Director Zhang's name to put a halo on himself.

At 2:00 p.m., the opening ceremony of the 8th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival officially began. According to the convention, the first speeches of the Cultural Association, the Filmmakers Association and the leaders of the local government were spoken, and then nomination certificates began.
In addition to Li Tang, the actor Teng Rujun, the actor who played his father in "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" and the male lead Tian Chengren in the movie "Golden Wedding".
Mr. Tian is in his seventies, Mr. Teng Rujun of the Central Academy of Drama is in his fifties, and Li Tang is in his twenty years, which easily reminds people of a commonly used word - the third generation of old, middle-aged and young.
Acknowledge the achievements of the older generation, highlight the backbone, and encourage the younger generation.
After the opening ceremony, the premiere of "My Father and Mother".
This is a very beautiful movie, telling the love story of a village flower named Zhaodi and a rural teacher. In terms of visual experience, it is the same as the beautiful scenery and bright colors of director Zhang Yimou's previous works.
As for the movie itself, in this movie, director Zhang Yimou obviously disappeared from his ideological critical acumen in his previous works and washed away his reflection on nationality, which is to use fresh prose to describe the delicate and delicate style of the village wa Zhaodi.
Love psychology.
Zhang Ziyi, who has "Little Gong Li", looks much younger and more immature than Gong Li, and it is precisely this immature and immature perfectly interpreting the character Zhaodi.
Li Tang is so familiar with Zhang Ziyi and is one of the most familiar Chinese actresses in his previous life.
Because Zhang Ziyi has been developing in Hollywood for a long time, and that time happened to be the hard years of his previous life in Hollywood. I found that a Chinese female star finally emerged, so of course I paid great attention.
I remember she was with a Jew, who was a shareholder of Time Warner and an investor. It is very normal for this kind of gossip in Hollywood. If an outsider wants to integrate into Hollywood, the best and fastest way is to find it.
A strong enough insider.
Nicole Kidman and Tomco, Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are all ready-made examples.
But Zhang Ziyi eventually failed. In fact, her failure was due to cultural background and racial differences. It is difficult for a yellow person to integrate into the mainstream of Hollywood.
Compared to Zhang Ziyi, who was sharp and aggressive in Li Tang's previous life, Xiao Zhang's children's shoes were much more cute and pure at this time, especially her eyes were very clean and lively.
Li Tang admired Director Zhang Yimou's vision of selecting actresses, including Gong Li before, which was not amazing at first glance, but the more you looked, the more you tasted it. Moreover, their eyes were very clean without exception, without any impurities.
/p>
It is said that a good actor must keep his innocence. Clean eyes are a reflection of his innocence.
Of course, Zhang Ziyi was not a silly person at this time. After seeing Director Zhang stop to say hello to Li Tang, she immediately came over and talked to Li Tang for a few words, knowing how to judge the situation very well.
The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival lasts for a total of four days, opening on the 16th and closing on the 20th. In the middle, there are some promotions of film projects and a series of seminars, symposiums, etc.
Li Tang is neither an investor nor a director, and he is not interested in promoting any film project. Moreover, in the past two years, the time when the movie has fallen to its lowest valuation. It is said that the total box office of the domestic film market this year is less than one billion.
, This is a world of difference from the second largest film market in China after North America that he often heard in his previous life.
It is precisely because he knows that the future will be bright that he is not worried at all about the current downturn, and there is no need to listen to so-called experts, film critics, etc., and talks about a lot of nonsense and nonsense about saving this and that.
On the contrary, he is quite interested in some technical seminars. Photography and art are both reflections of film aesthetics, and how to understand photography and art is also very helpful for actors' performances.
During this period, he met Zhao Fei, a photographer who was shortlisted for the Best Photography Award at this Golden Rooster Awards through the introduction of Director Xiao Teng. This photographer graduated from the 78th grade of the Beijing Film Academy and is a classmate with Director Zhang Yimou. He has been in charge of Tianzhuangzhuang.
"The Horse Thieves" and Jiang Wen's version of "The Eunuch Li Lianying", Zhang Yimou's "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High", Chen Dada's "Jing Ke Assassination of the King of Qin" and Feng Xiaogang's "See You" are almost on the line that is very active at the moment
The big directors all cooperate.
Originally, Li Tang asked him about photography knowledge, but in the end he talked very well. Because many of them talked about were foreign movies, Li Tang's reserved knowledge was quite sufficient in this regard. Later, Li Tang came from Zhao Fei's
He learned from his mouth that he had accepted the invitation of the famous American director Woody Allen to take a photo of Woody Allen's new movie "Amateur Thief".
On the evening of October 20th, the closing ceremony of the 8th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was grandly held at the Shenyang Gymnasium. The scene was very grand. The first time there was a red carpet session, and the CCTV Variety Channel broadcast the entire live broadcast.
Chapter completed!
