Chapter 383 Harvest Season (Part 2)
The entertainment industry itself is a large circle, which is divided into countless small circles. Although the circles despise each other, they occasionally cooperate.
The people at the table in front of me are quite acquainted with Dong Xi. Ge You and Chen Daoming have both worked with him, and Xiao Wang is also an old rival.
As for Tian Zhuang and Lu Chuan, they also had exchanges at this year's Venice Film Festival. Perhaps the only stranger was Ying Da.
This former "hockey evangelist" is considered unique among domestic directors. Together, the three brothers specialize in sitcoms.
Classics including "I Love My Family", "Sister Ma the Idle Man", "A Northeastern Family", etc. were all written by this fat man with glasses and an unattractive appearance.
However, when he saw Dong Xi, he was very polite and nodded proactively: "Here you come, man!"
"coming."
Naturally, Dong Xi would not drag Ying Da up, and also nodded. Although he was not very familiar with Ying Da, Ying Da was Jiang Wen's younger brother. It could even be said that Jiang Wen was able to embark on the road of acting and was deeply influenced by him.
With such a relationship, even if the two of them are not familiar with each other, there is no way to make them blush.
This is the case in this circle. The "six degrees of separation theory" is particularly obvious here. You can recognize Dong Xi through at most six strangers, even if you are a passerby.
The people at this table are all considered to be from the upper class in this circle, and no one is so open-minded in public.
No matter how much dissatisfaction there is in my heart, I can only smile silently. No one has two faces these days.
"Uncle Ge, do you have any work at the end of the year?" Dong Xi chose this place not to show off his muscles to Beijing, but because of Ge You.
"What, is something wrong?" Ge You asked meaningfully after scanning the expressions of the people in the circle.
During this period, if Dong Xi wanted to make a New Year's film, it would be the time when he would need people.
But the key point is that there is no news in the industry about Dong Xi's Lunar New Year movie being released this year.
"Is it possible that Dong Xi wants to raid the Lunar New Year stall?" Everyone present was smart, and they immediately smelled the fishy smell.
They looked at each other and watched Dong Xi and Ge You communicating in silence.
It’s just that the ears stand up, like a Pekingese...
Dong Xi naturally didn't expect that his casual words would make this group of people think wildly.
However, he really has no plans to make a Lunar New Year movie. Whether it is "13" or the next science fiction film, he has no plans to release it by the end of the year.
Xizi has a New Year's film, but it has nothing to do with him, at best he makes a cameo.
Everyone chatted with each other happily, but after a while, when Brother Chen Kai arrived, the atmosphere became awkward.
The seats in the front row are fixed. As the saying goes, a carrot is a pit. Dong Xi did not sit in his own seat, so he naturally occupied someone else's place.
This seat belongs to the "poet" Chen Kaige, so when the staff brought Chen over, they found that there was no seat left.
As a staff member, I must have known at a glance that it was Dong Xijiu who occupied the magpie's nest, but he was very discerning and did not say anything.
Others also reacted, but no one took the initiative to say so. It was better to let others do the things that offended Dong Xi.
But having said that, Brother Chen Kai cannot be stuck here like a telegraph pole.
As a result, everyone at the table turned their eyes to Lu Chuan in unison.
"Fuck..." Although Xiao Lu was arrogant, he still had no sense of presence in front of these big guys. He could only curse in his heart, and then stood up knowingly.
"Director Chen, sit here."
"Yeah." The poet exhaled through his nostrils. After sitting down, he looked around and saw that Dong Xi's presence was somewhat conspicuous.
He could understand what was going on after a moment's thought. Seeing Lu Chuan's back following the staff as he left angrily, he exclaimed: "Today's young directors still have a sense of responsibility."
When he said this, his eyes were still drifting in the direction of Dong Xi, obviously implying something.
However, Dong Xi should eat and drink as he should, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
He understood that these old guys had always criticized his rise. After all, no one would like a young man standing on their head.
………
The awards ceremony officially began. The host was Li Yong, the man with long, fluffy wavy hair who always wears bright suits.
If Li Xunhuan is the only male star who can hold his instant noodle head, then Li Yong is a negative example.
Regardless of his hosting style or appearance, this guy is unique among CCTV hosts.
Sometimes "alternative" is not a derogatory term, but a compliment.
Hosts who can host the Spring Festival Gala will not be idiots, they are all talents.
This style was once criticized by Wang Shuo as "like the gatekeeper in the French royal palace in the 18th century." Some people also criticized him for having no aesthetic sense.
Li Yong took this in stride and said: "What I can do is accept all opinions with an open mind and insist on not changing my personality."
Simple summary: "You can make suggestions, I accept them humbly but I won't change them."
Li Yong, who is full of personality and well-spoken, can hold up the entire award ceremony by herself.
The first award was given to the Hundred Flowers Award. Since the merger with the Golden Rooster, the Hundred Flowers Award has become like a baby girl and has not played its due role at all.
There is a saying that living things are "functionally extinct", so the Hundred Flowers Award is now a functional loss.
Under normal circumstances, a certain award must be linked to a certain function. For example, the Oscars, do you really think it is just a selection of the best movies?
In fact, film companies are trying to stimulate film distribution and DVD sales, and at the same time set standards and trends for commercial films.
Cannes must set standards for art films and at the same time encourage many aspiring young directors and actors to join the industry.
What is the commercial function of Hundred Flowers Award?
Just one thing, the movies being evaluated were all from two years ago, which is enough to destroy all commercial functions.
As for political purpose?
There is a Huabiao Award in China, but it is a government award, and it is much more authoritative than Dazhong Baihua!
You said he encourages filmmakers?
The most exploratory type of movie, not even a shadow can be seen.
It's just such a "four different look", so the gold content is naturally not high, and people in the industry don't care much about it.
Dong Xi declared to the public that he would not deliberately mention that he had won the Hundred Flowers Best Actor, which really does not add to his qualifications.
This year was even more ridiculous. There were ten finalists for each award, which resulted in many actors not being present.
For example, the table where Dong Xi sat was almost all nominated for awards, such as Best Feature Film, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.
"The winner of the 25th Hundred Flowers Film Awards for Best Supporting Actor is: Yingda's "Big Shot"."
"Let us give him a round of applause!"
"Bah bang bang~" Amidst the applause, Yingda, wearing a tuxedo like a penguin, staggered onto the stage to receive the award.
Dong Xi sat with his legs crossed in the audience, cheering with everyone else. Ge You even stood up and saluted in front of the camera: "Congratulations, General Patton~"
"Hahaha~" The audience naturally laughed in cooperation, and it was obvious that everyone was in a relaxed mood.
"The winner of the Best Actress award is: Zhou Xun's "Beauty in the Rain"!"
In the ensuing competition for Best Actress, Fan Xiaopang unexpectedly lost, which caused bursts of boos from the audience.
"Hey~"
Although "My Sassy Girl" was a movie last year, the storm it caused is still fresh in my mind.
In this case, the organizer did not award the award to her, and Dong Xi could only give a thumbs up to show appreciation.
Fan Xiaopang herself didn't care too much. She already had a Hundred Flowers Award and a higher-rated Golden Image Queen. This was a map that even Emperor Gong didn't conquer.
After awarding the Best Actress crown, it is the Best Actor who has attracted much attention. Although the flowers are lonely, the Best Actor will never be ignored.
"The winner of the 25th Best Actor in Popular Films is: Dong Xi in "Raging Bull"."
When Dong Xi heard about the winners, he stood up, straightened his appearance, smiled at Ge You and said, "I'll take the first step."
Ge You smiled and patted his butt, revealing his iconic front teeth.
