Chapter 279 Zeng Wei wants to play Lao Li
Tang Long originally thought that Li Xiaohong's filming of MTV would be postponed, because the shooting style of this female director is really different from the directors in Hong Kong. She likes to pay attention to details. An MTV actually polished the lens, so the shooting was very
slow.
The filming was even very haphazard, with an idea coming up at once, and many shots deviating from the plot setting.
Tang Long didn't have time to pay attention to it, it was just MTV anyway, so just shoot whatever you like!
He also went to the monitor and watched the replay of the footage, uh, how should I put it?
The lens style is very graceful, and the warm light filter is used more often. However, the result is very beautiful, it just depends on how she cuts it later.
Fortunately, Li Xiaohong announced that the MTV filming was over after two days of filming, and there was no delay.
After filming MTV "The Drunken Concubine", Tang Long returned to Hong Kong Island. He took the morning flight and arrived at Chek Lap Kok Airport at noon. Lin Yao and Amy came to pick him up in person.
This is the longest time Tang Long has been away from Hong Kong Island. After landing, he actually felt strange.
A store at the airport actually played "The New Drunk Concubine", which caused passing passengers to pause and listen, and even some blond foreigners stopped to pay attention.
After getting into the nanny car, Amy reported: "Tonight's rehearsal will strictly follow the itinerary on the evening of the 15th. The address is still the Grand Theater of the Hong Kong Cultural Center and will start at 3:30 pm..."
Tang Long listened carefully. He used to attend the Academy Awards as a behind-the-scenes worker, sitting with the audience.
This time, he should be able to take the stage.
Lin Yao and May were sitting in the back seat. After Amy finished introducing some information about participating in the rehearsal, she put her hand on the back of Amy's seat and asked: "Aaron, how many awards do you think you can win?"
Tang Long gave her a roll of his eyes, "There are still a few awards, but I am only confident in the Best Newcomer Award. As for the Best Screenplay of "Crazy Diamond" and the Best Supporting Actor of "Slaying the Wolf", there are not many
grasp……"
Especially for the best screenplay, the competition is very fierce. Although there is no "Infernal Affairs", the other scripts are not bad.
For example, Chen Guo's "There is a Hollywood in Hong Kong Island", Su Chaobing and Chen Guofu's "Two Eyes", and Xu Yuezhen and Zou Kaiguang's "Returning Home" and "Hero".
He put "Hero" at the end because "Hero" has the smallest chance.
Even if "Hero" sets a box office record for Chinese-language films, the Academy Awards will not give it the Best Screenplay Award, and will only give it some technical awards at most.
As for Best Supporting Actor, the competition is even greater.
Huang Mao even occupied two spots. Without "Infernal Affairs", Zeng Wei Zhaoying was selected with "Returning Home".
Wong You-nam from "Hollywood in Hong Kong" was also selected. This guy even got two nominations in the Best Newcomer Award with his two movies.
Chairman Tang Long has the greatest confidence in the Best Newcomer Award. He burst onto the scene in the Hong Kong entertainment industry last year. The movie "Crazy Diamond" that he wrote and acted in even won the box office championship of the year.
The performance is also eye-catching, and it should be appropriate to win a Newcomer Award.
As for the other two nominations, hey, it depends on Xiang Lan's energy. Xiang Lan and Lin Yao returned to Hong Kong two days earlier than Tang Long.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of paparazzi gathered at the entrance of the Hong Kong Cultural Center Grand Theater at 3 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, all armed with long guns and short cannons. As soon as a celebrity got out of the car, they would snap and snap for a while.
Because it was just a rehearsal, there was no red carpet. In order not to affect the progress of the rehearsal, no paparazzi interviews were arranged, so the paparazzi were isolated outside the fence to take pictures.
The order of the celebrities entering the ceremony is the same as walking on the red carpet. Tang Long and Zhang Zhizhi walked on the red carpet together, so they also rehearsed together.
In the nanny's car, Zhang Zhizhi curiously asked Tang Long how he felt about participating in the Spring Festival Gala. Tang Long originally thought that this woman would be rude after not contacting Zhang Zhizhi for such a long time, but he didn't want to surprise him with her good behavior.
Soon it was their turn to enter. Since there was no red carpet, they got out of the nanny car and walked straight into the theater. The two of them were guest performers and were the highlight of the rehearsal.
"Aaron, you and Zeng Li sang a song together on the Spring Festival Gala. Was Zhi Zhi angry?"
"Aaron, I heard that someone stole your songs?"
"Aaron, I heard that Zhang Yimou invited you to audition for his new play?"
"Zhizhi, are you and Aaron dating?"
"Aaron, Hong Ming said that you plan to be a director. Is this true?"
"Zhizhi, you and Chen Xiaodong were on the same stage during the Spring Festival. Have you reported it to Aaron?"
"Aaron, Li An's audition for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" failed. Do you have any thoughts?"
"..."
As soon as the two got out of the car, they were instantly enveloped in flashing lights, and the air was even filled with the smell of burnt film.
The paparazzi rushed to ask Tang Long all kinds of questions. The paparazzi asked Tang Long far more than they asked Zhang Zhizhi.
In just half a year, Tang Long's popularity in Hong Kong has surpassed that of Zhang Zhizhi. Five months ago, he wanted to increase his popularity through the scandal with Zhang Zhizhi.
As the person involved, Zhang Zhizhi was deeply touched. After entering the theater, she couldn't help but said with amusement: "Aaron, you are very popular now!"
Tang Long squeezed her tender little hand and said flatteringly: "Thank you, Sister Zhizhi, for supporting me. Without Sister Zhizhi's support, I wouldn't be where I am today..."
"roll……"
Zhang Zhizhi was dumbfounded by his shameless words. After rolling her eyes at him angrily, she threw away his hand and went to find Xiang Lan.
Tang Long also walked towards his master Hong Bao. Hong Bao was chatting with Chen Long and several junior brothers and sisters. Zeng Wei, Qian Xiaole, Dong Wei, Zhou Zhaolong, Hong Ming, Hong Zhao and others were also gathered around.
After Tang Long first greeted his master and several junior uncles, he walked up to his senior brother Zhou Zhaolong and called him "senior brother" solemnly.
Zhou Zhaolong looked at Tang Long with a smile on his face and patted Tang Long's shoulder hard, "Okay, okay, I've long heard that I have an amazing junior brother..."
After chatting with Zhou Zhaolong, Tang Long asked Hong Ming about the preparations for "Lao Li". Hong Ming said that the decoration of the convenience store was almost done and he was waiting for him now.
Tang Long replied: "I will be free after these few days of work. I will not join the group until mid-March..."
He asked Qian Xiaole again: "Have Brother Ming mentioned to you that he wants you to make a guest appearance?"
Qian Xiaole nodded and said, "I told you, how could such a fun thing be done without me!"
Zhou Zhaolong asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Tang Long then told them about their plans to film "Old Li" for fun. Zhou Zhaolong pointed at himself and said, "Count me in. I happened to be in Hong Kong Island recently and had nothing to do..."
Tang Long and Hong Ming looked at each other and said helplessly: "Brother, if you are here to play, then you can play my role as the underworld tycoon. I originally wanted to play it myself..."
After all, it was the first time we met, so it was hard for him to refuse too much. It was a pity that the scene of Dabo holding popping candy in his mouth...
Hong Ming hurriedly put his hand on Zhou Zhaolong's shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear, and Qian Xiaole also leaned in to listen.
Zhou Zhaolong soon showed a wet expression, pulled Tang Long and said: "You must find a big wave with me, the wave is not big enough, I am not satisfied..."
At this time, Zeng Wei came over, pointed at a few people, and said with a squinted look on his face: "What are you guys talking about? I really want to hear something. Such a fun thing doesn't come with me..."
Tang Long quickly gave Hong Ming a wink, and Hong Ming took over the conversation and said: "We are planning to make a small-scale film for fun, and our investment is limited, so naturally we don't dare to come to you. Moreover, it is a third-level cult film, which is not suitable for you...
