On October 10th, Su Ze took his mother Kong Xuefei to Baodao, and the 56th Golden Horse Awards ceremony started two days later.
Zhao Yuncheng and Hu Lei also wanted to come, but the invitation letters were not enough, so they had to give up. Zhang Zifeng was unable to participate. My sister was not shortlisted, and it was even more inappropriate for her to participate in her personal capacity. After all, she was nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Actress.
Checking into the Hilton Presidential Suite, Qin Jinfeng's face was glowing. His baby son was nominated for the Golden Horse Supporting Actor at such a young age. This is the rhythm of honoring the ancestors!
Su Ze originally wanted to bring his father here, but the old man was very arrogant and said that the nomination was meaningless, and he would wait until he actually won the best actor to make his debut?
Can't afford to offend!
Chen Jianbing, Jiang Qingqing and his wife arrived a few days in advance, and they were the favorites to be nominated for four categories, especially Best Actor and Best Director. Many Taiwanese media flocked to the event.
No matter what, a spoon will definitely win one, or even two awards if you are lucky. Compared with the best actor, Chen Jianbing desires the best director more. If his debut film is the Golden Horse, I ask who else!
"Will this work?"
“A bit too expensive!”
"Where's this set?"
"Is the color too dark?"
"This set?"
Su Ze was dumbfounded, his expressionless face like a machine without emotions, and he allowed several women to do all kinds of things on his body.
According to Kong Xue: This is your first official red carpet appearance, and you must blind everyone’s eyes!
Fortunately, this time I don’t have to spend money to buy it myself. After becoming a third-tier star in the Psychological Crime hit, I am already qualified to borrow dresses from brands, not to mention walking on the Golden Horse red carpet, Armani, Versace, Prada, Burberry...
Choose from the latest high-end designs!
Mr. Qin originally planned to buy it, and the Su family was not short of the small amount of money, but Kong Xue insisted on borrowing it. This is the face of a celebrity!
In the end, Su Ze chose a black classic Armani suit, which was simple and elegant. He was usually used to the aesthetics of this brand and had a lot of casual clothes in his wardrobe.
Before the busy award ceremony, I finally saw Chen Jianbing. His face was full of pride. Su Ze couldn't help but joked: "Uncle, how do you feel?"
"What's it like?" Chen Jianbing said proudly: "It's just so-so."
Su Ze was speechless, saying you were fat and you started to pant?
"The award ceremony started at 9:30 in the evening, and we lined up to walk on the red carpet at 7 o'clock. We were arranged to be at the finale." Chen Jianbing started to get down to business and said, "Forget about the others, we are a family of three on the red carpet."
Su Ze nodded. To be honest, he didn't like walking on the red carpet. It felt like he was being watched. Kong Xue had brainwashed the process before and there was basically no mistake.
"Just go through the formalities and you can do it in three to five minutes." Chen Jianbing said casually: "After the walk, go to the signature wall and write a word, then chat a few nonsense words with the host outside the venue, and then enter the venue."
"How do you judge the Golden Horse?" Su Ze asked curiously while he was doing nothing, "Is there any shady story?"
"There must be a shady story." Chen Jianbing sat cross-legged on the sofa and said without any image: "Who can have no selfish motives?"
"The chairman of the judges this year is Sister Chen Chong, otherwise one spoon can be nominated for four items?"
"The judge also has Guan Jinpeng. We have a good relationship and we have said hello in advance."
"Wu Guanping is the director of the film department of Beijing Film Academy, a drinking buddy for many years, and who else..."
Su Ze was speechless, is it really okay to be so calm?
"You are still too young." Chen Jianbing understood Su Ze's thoughts and couldn't help laughing: "There is no game in the world without shady stories, it's just a few."
“Isn’t the Oscar statuette awesome?”
"It's claimed that there are more than 6,000 judges?"
“There’s a fucking PR company that does this!”
"As long as you are willing to spend money, you can get whatever you want!"
Su Ze was indifferent, I am still young, can I leave some hope and thoughts?
Chen Jianbing picked up an apple and said while eating: "The most important thing before the judging meeting begins, the organizer requires everyone to hand over their mobile phones and the dresses that need to be changed for the award ceremony to the staff."
"Once the meeting starts, all judges must stay at home until they are escorted to the venue. Whenever they need to go to the toilet or smoke, they will be accompanied by staff throughout the process, and there will be absolutely no chance to gossip with irrelevant people."
"You didn't regain your freedom until the last Best Picture was awarded. Doesn't it feel like you were released from prison?"
Seeing Su Ze's curiosity, Chen Jianbing continued: "The review process is divided into three rounds: preliminary selection, secondary selection and final selection. There are four categories in the preliminary selection, feature films, documentaries, cartoons and short films."
"The primary election is to eliminate bad films from hundreds of submitted films and select a list of films that can be nominated. More than a dozen judges select the shining films among the many films."
"Basically starting from August, watching so many films within a certain period of time, you can't miss the gold. The requirements for physical strength and technology are higher. A single oversight may lead to the creation of leftovers."
"Furthermore, when facing films from cross-strait, three places, as well as the discrete Chinese-speaking worlds such as Singapore and Malaysia, the cultural backgrounds are complex. We also need to be wary of the inertia and limitations of our own culture, and try to abandon colored glasses and stereotypes."
"This is also the key to the good reputation of the Golden Horse in Southeast Asia. It is much more inclusive than the Golden Rooster Statue!"
Su Ze agreed that if he were to rank himself, the golden horse would be first, followed by the golden rooster, and finally the golden statue, especially for male actors.
"The second round involves more professional aspects, such as action design, visual design, new directors, etc."
"The principle starts from the primary election. Every link of the Golden Horse is decided by the judges, discussions and votes. There is no room for the organizing committee or officials to interfere."
"All selection processes will be recorded, and multiple evidences will be preserved through ballots, videos, on-site lawyers, etc. I also participated in a review in the early years, and I have to say that it is very professional."
Chen Jianbing seemed to be recalling something and sighed: "Filmmakers gathered together to cheer for their favorite works, including friends they knew and strangers they didn't know."
"For example, composer Li Xinyun, stylist Xu Liwen, director Qian Xiang who is a photographer, and director Wu Ershan who is deeply involved in visual effects, etc. Editor Chen Shengchang and your senior sister Qin Hailu will also be included in the final selection."
"All films that pass the preliminary round and advance to the second round are required to submit digital copies to Golden Horse, and the re-selection judges will watch these films in September."
"I watched four or five movies every day, and stayed in the hotel audition room for more than two weeks. In fact, it was not easy for the judges. I was obviously very involved in watching, but I had to always remind myself to pay attention to the non-explicit departments such as sound effects, visual effects, etc."
"Fortunately, I ate well and nothing was the same. I gained ten pounds that time when I went back!"
Su Ze was very envious, not because of the authority of the judges, but because of the opportunity to appreciate so many outstanding works from different angles.
No way, the butt determines the head. As an actor, you can only worry about the role and acting skills. As a cameraman, you have to worry about the lens and camera position. As a screenwriter, you focus on the plot and lines all day long. Why are there so many stars who are good at acting but directing?
Have you ever thought about the addiction of coordinating the overall situation?
