Chapter 307 Award
Of course, Zhang Duo understands the meaning of Wang Cheng's words. He is not a pedantic person and has to challenge the fairness of the award. Because Zhang Duo knows that the world has never been absolutely fair, and it is enough to be relatively fair.
Wang Cheng was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Duo's consent and said, "Don't worry, our Sacred Heart Film and Television Company only invests and does not participate in specific shooting matters. Of course, in terms of actors, if there is a suitable one on our Sacred Heart, you might as well consider it.
Zhang Duo said, "That's a matter of course!"
Wang Cheng said, "Do you need my help with the script?"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "In my heart, there has been a manuscript for a long time!" As soon as this statement came out, the other three people in the room were surprised.
Song Siwei said, "A Duo, you have an idea so soon?"
Jin Yutang said lightly, "It's worth looking forward to!"
The most surprising thing is Wang Cheng, because so far, The Deer Tripod has just been released. For more than ten days, in the face of vast novels with more than 1.6 million words and intricate character relationships, even geniuses like Wang Cheng will have a headache. And Zhang Duo even typed the belly draft of the film script, which surprised him a little.
Wang Cheng said, "Well, I hope A Duo can write the script earlier!"
Zhang Duo said, "I will write the script of Zhu Xian now, and I guess I will wait until the New Year."
Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. It's normal to write the script for two or three months!"
After the matter was settled, several people gossiped for a while and went home separately. The next morning, Zhang Duo arrived at Wanbang Film and Television and came to his office. Sun Rui introduced him to the media comments about Smiling Proud Jianghu and Destiny, and selected several representative newspapers for Zhang Duo and put them on Zhang Duo's desk.
At the top is the Beijing Evening News, which has not been very harmonious with Zhang Duo, and the film review was written by a man named Cheng Zhiquan, on which he praised Xiao Ao Jianghu.
"This version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" directed by Zhang Duo can be said to be the best martial arts movie. For the reasons of the original author, Zhang Duo's understanding of the original work is naturally quite thorough. He not only shows Chinese Confucianism and Taoism with poetic images, but also emotionally and profoundly shapes living characters, and also discusses the topic of human life.
Another highlight of this film is the wonderful performance of Lin Xi, Jin Yuzhi, You Zhongkang, Zhong Zhicheng, Jiang Ruixue and others. Ling Huchong, played by Lin Xi, has gained the essence of the original work, perfectly integrating Ling Hu Chong's heroic spirit of the world with the unruly market spirit.
In terms of the creation of pictures and atmosphere alone, the film has a lot to praise. Shortly after the film began, Gu Gonggong led people to surround the dyeing workshop in Lin Zhennan, and several scenes full of Chinese painting were very impressive. It was the same for Zuo Lengchan's appearance. A group of amazing birds crossed the afterglow of the sunset on the cliff, and several black shadows flew down. Not many shots created an excellent atmosphere. In addition, singing poems and swords, singing on boats and so on are all the deeds of traditional Chinese elegant scholars.
The martial arts design of the film is freehand, which not only deifies Chinese martial arts, but basically conforms to the image of the original work and ancient chivalrous men. Without too much abuse of stunts, the film's martial arts still satisfies many audiences. Compared with the fighter-like martial arts in some martial arts films, that kind of stunt is simply the imagination of ** the audience.
In the film, Linghu Chong's Huashan swordsmanship "is to be the top, and you can see the small mountains" and Zuo Lengchan's pursuit on the lake, all see the intention of martial arts design; although Linghu Chong's Dugu Jiujian at the end is a little worse than the original Shenlong's beginning and end, it is also unique.
And Zhang Duo's eternal song "Laughter in the Sea" was born with the advent of the film. The lyrics of this theme song runs through the whole film and plays an immeasurable role in the success of the film.
Comprehensively, this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is definitely the best martial arts movie ever. Although it may not be the last, it must be airy. Highly recommended."
Zhang Duo glanced at other newspapers and found that most of them were positive comments. The film reviews about Destiny are mixed. It seems that Gao Xuan and others should have media public relations.
Putting down the newspaper, Zhang Duo asked, "How's the situation on the theater line?"
Sun Rui said, "Very good. At present, it can be said that it is difficult to get a ticket. Moreover, last night's box office has also come out! The three games of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" have received millions, while "Fate" is less than 500,000.
Zhang Duo said, "Last night's premiere was just a small test. Today's large-scale public screening is the time for a duel between male and female. Do you think it is still possible for Destiny to turn over?"
Sun Rui said, "There are still some. After all, Destiny is an investment of 300 million, and the public relations ability of China Film Group should not be underestimated. I heard that there were a lot of curses at the premiere there last night, but I read today's newspaper, * not much.
Zhang Duo went to the window and looked at the scenery downstairs and said, "You don't have to say a little more. The creators in Destiny include the popular stars of China, Japan and South Korea, which is still very attractive to fans, so the reputation is poor, and the box office will be low." Speaking of this, Zhang Duo was a little depressed.
GeneralLY speaking, reputation determines the box office. However, in the magical country of China, domestic blockbusters have repeatedly fallen into strange circles: the box office is inversely proportional to word of mouth, and the more fierce the scolding is, the more popular the box office will be.
This kind of thing is really common in the previous life. Wuji claims to have recovered the cost. Zhang Duo is really hard to say about the box office of "Fate" in this life.
The next day, the box office of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" reached 9 million, while the box office of "Fate" actually reached 9.6 million, only 1.3 million lower.
On the third day, "The Smiling Proud Jianghu" was 12.30 million, and on the fourth day, 15.5 million. When "Smiling Proud Wanderer" was released a week, the box office reached 89 million. And the box office of "Fate" is actually as high as 72.5 million. Of course, accompanied by the high box office is its ultra-low reputation.
Thanks to the 300 million cost production of Destiny, there are very few films released during this period, which are basically two parts: Smiling Proud Jianghu and Destiny. The only difference is that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has both reputation and box office, while "Fate" won the box office and lost its reputation.
Seeing that there was no surprise when the film was released, Zhang Duo's attention gradually shifted away. I write "Jingxian" every day, and when I'm tired, I go to school for a walk. Sometimes I go to find Qin Lan or Jin Yuzhi.
By late December, the selection results of the "Late Night Literature Award" finally came out, but it would not be known until the award ceremony. Zhang Duo looked at the invitation in front of him and couldn't hide his joy.
There is a difference in the status of popular novel writers and pure literary writers after all. For example, Gong Baiyu, who wrote Twelve Money Darts, was deeply ashamed of his identity as a martial arts master.
Although this era does not spill all the dirty water on martial arts novels, in the eyes of many teachers and parents, this is something that can't be put on the table.
The date of the award ceremony is December 24th, and the venue is in Beijing. Zhang Duo originally wanted Jin Yuzhi or Qin Lan to accompany him. However, one couldn't come back from filming in Qionghai, but the other was taking the exam, so Zhang Duo had to get up alone.
On the evening of the 23rd, Zhang Duo arrived in the capital. After staying at the Hilton Hotel, he remembered that Ning Daier was attending the Beijing Film and Television School. If she was accompanied, it would be good.
Thinking of this, Zhang Duo called Ning Daier and said, "Hey, Daier, I'm in the capital. Do you have time tomorrow?"
Ning Daier said happily, "I'm free, A Duo, why are you here? Are you coming to see me?"
Zhang Duo said, "Yes! In addition, I hope you can accompany me to an award ceremony tomorrow!"
Ning Daier said, "Is it a movie or a TV award?"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Neither, it's the Midnight Literature Award. Are you free?"
Ning Daier said, "If you are free, come and pick me up tomorrow!"
Zhang Duo said hello before hanging up the phone. The next day, Zhang Duo drove a rented BMW and went to the Beijing Film and Television Academy to pick up Ning Daier. First, he visited the capital for a day, and then drove to the National Theater after five o'clock.
The highest leader attending the award ceremony was the minister of the Propaganda Department. The specifications were so high that almost all the invited writers and literati came, and some of them also brought their descendants to see the world.
Zhang Duo saw this young man beside Wei Wenzhao, and the one beside Xu Jingnian was Xu Qingning.
After sitting down, Zhang Duo said to Xu Qingning, who happened to sit next to him, "Shouldn't you prepare for the exam at school at this time?"
Xu Qingning said, "Aren't you not at school?" After looking at Ning Daier, she said, "Who do I think I am? It turned out to be Bai Jingjing!" Why, I don't want your Zixia?"
Zhang Duo said with tears and laughter, "It's better not to make this kind of joke!"
Xu Qingning "cut" and turned his head to no longer pay attention to Zhang Duo.
There are more and more people in the venue, but only a few people can be named by Zhang Duo, and there are more names that Zhang Duo has never heard of. Although most of the people's works here are not as high as Zhang Duo's, they are a little disdainful when they look at Zhang Duo's appearance. Zhang Duo also faded his mind to make friends with everyone.
Wang Cheng came and greeted everywhere happily. He also wanted to pull Zhang Duo to introduce some "masters" to him, but Zhang Duo politely declined, "After that, I found that I was really not in the same circle with them."
Wang Cheng said, "A Duo, even if you don't like it, it's better to integrate into it, which is good for your future development. Do they have the right to speak for Shilin?
Zhang Duo was helpless. He got up and followed Wang Cheng to worship the master. Finally, he said to Wang Cheng, "There is such a paragraph in "The Affectionate Swordman's Remless Sword". A Fei caught and killed the plum thief, but Tian Qi and others did not admit it. Li Xunhuan said to A Fei, as long as you are willing to give up all the limelight to these heroes, these heroes will think that you are young and a talented person. In another ten or twenty years, when these heroes are in the coffin, it will be your turn to become famous.
Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Well, little Zhang Duo, are you compared them to Tian Qi and Zhao Zhengyi?"
