Chapter 557: Something Unexpected Happened, Visiting the Set

Sure enough, it is better to hope that Chen Kaige will win another Palme d'Or than to expect the Golden Rooster to not fail!

When the nomination list was announced, the one with the most nominations was Feng Xiaogang's "1942".

"1942" received a total of eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, etc.

But when the results of the closing ceremony came out, they were exactly the same as those of "Earthquake".

The final award results were insulting without any disguise.

It really is: give you the most nominations, and then slap you in the face with the greatest force!

Chen Kexin's "Chinese Partners" suppressed "1942" in all aspects.

The Best Film was a double yolk, shared equally by "Chinese Partners" and "Four Days and Nights of Premier Zhou", a film that most people in the industry have never heard of.

For the Best Director, Chen Kexin easily defeated Feng Xiaogang. I heard that the number of votes from the judges was that the former crushed the latter.

The Best Actor was still a double yolk, shared equally by Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Guoli of "1942". Among the eight nominations, Zhang Guoli only won half of the top awards, that is, half of the Best Actor award.

"1942" instantly became a joke in the industry and was humiliated nakedly.

In the eyes of most people in the industry, "Chinese Partners" is indeed a good movie.

But if you say it is better than "1942", it seems a bit far-fetched.

However, everyone also understands that the reason why "Chinese Partners" can become a big winner is that it is a co-production between the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

Isn't this one of the old problems of the Golden Rooster? It seems that outsiders are always treated more favorably than their own people.

Lin Nan even felt a little sympathetic to Feng Xiaogang.

As the latter said, this is the movie he has put the most effort into in so many years, but it was humiliated so nakedly.

Perhaps because he just got the "ticket" to the Oscars, Feng Xiaogang's remarks on the Internet this time were not as radical as those when he was filming "The Great Earthquake".

"This award? To be honest, I don't understand what their judging criteria are. If you ask them, they will say that it is selected by experts according to the criteria.

You ask what the specific criteria are? They start to hesitate again, anyway, it's just 'standard'.

These experts, a group of people added together, may not have made more movies than I have made alone!"

Feng Xiaogang's words are mainly about the truth. I don't curse people, but I just point it out, disgusting and annoying you.

Huang Xiaoming became famous in one battle. Among male actors of the same age, he became the first Golden Rooster Award winner.

Lin Nan also sent a congratulatory text message to Huang Xiaoming, and received a reply in less than a minute.

"Thank you, Director Lin, I can't compare to Yifei's Golden Horse Award winner. I am looking forward to Director Lin taking me to win a few more Best Actor trophies, haha..."

Lin Nan looked at the message on the phone, chuckled and shook his head. Huang Xiaoming is always so "pleasant to the ear".

On the Internet, the front page headlines of film and television information are almost all about the award ceremony information.

When someone is happy, someone is sad, and someone is even more heartbroken.

"Gu Jian Qi Tan" is about to be finished, and Yang Mi had forced herself to forget that "Search" was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award.

But the results of the award ceremony last night are now posted online.

When she came to the crew early in the morning, Yang Mi could feel that many actors looked at her strangely.

Finally, it was Zhong Xintong who reminded her to check the news, and Yang Mi finally reacted.

Sitting in the dressing room, she opened the news page on her mobile phone. On the front page of the news, there was a piece of news that was so dazzling:

"At the award ceremony last night, "Search" was nominated and won, and Wang Luodan won the Best Supporting Actress Award!"

At this moment, Yang Mi felt a sense of heartbreak, and she felt a little dizzy.

She leaned back in the chair in a daze, and after a long time, she murmured to herself: "Won? Best Supporting Actress..."

At this moment, she understood why only Zhong Xintong mentioned her, because both of them had starred in Chen Kaige's movies.

It's just that Yang Mi's scenes were deleted because of overlapping scenes, and Wang Luodan was replaced to reshoot; while Zhong Xintong was deleted from the finished film because of the photo incident.

Regarding the results of the Golden Rooster Awards, there was a lot of noise on the Internet, and many netizens raised a tricky question.

Since the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards felt that "Chinese Partners" was better than "1942" in all aspects.

Then why did the Film Bureau choose "1942" to represent Chinese films in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?

The quota could have been given directly to "Chinese Partners"!

Good guy, this question was quickly pinned to the top and became the hottest topic.

Even Feng Xiaogang commented below: "I also want to know the reason, why?"

...

Lin Nan's planned visit time is still quite tight.

"Lin, are you coming to visit?" Nolan asked with a smile on the phone.

"Yes, I heard you moved to Iceland."

"We just arrived three days ago. The scenery here is really beautiful. Some natural features are particularly suitable for Interstellar.

If you come, we can try the seafood here together, especially the deep-sea ones, which are very fresh."

Nolan invited Lin Nan with great interest.

"Christopher, please keep my itinerary a secret for me."

"Hahaha, Lin, are you keeping it a secret from Crystal? Surprise, I understand."

"Yes, then see you in Iceland."

"Okay, you are welcome to visit the class. I will ask the staff to arrange the hotel room in advance."

Lin Nan glanced at the clock on the desk. It was almost 12 o'clock at night. "It's time to sleep..."

…………

Seeing that September has come to the end of the year, there are suddenly a lot more invitations and entertainment in the circle.

"The Storm", which Andy Lau participated in, invested, produced and starred in, was also released during the Lunar New Year period.

At this time, the movie was holding a press conference in the capital. He called Lin Nan and asked if he could go over and support it.

If it were anyone else, Lin Nan might have pushed him away, but when Liu Dehua opened his mouth, he agreed. No matter what, the relationship was so good.

At the press conference, Lin Nan finally saw what bells and whistles are. Even police and gangster movies are beginning to rely on 3D:

""The Storm", the first 3D police action movie in China!"

Liu Dehua held a wine glass and stood next to Lin Nan, "The investment is close to 100 million, and I account for a lot of it."

"Then I wish Brother Hua this movie a big hit at the box office."

Lin Nan raised the red wine in his hand.

To be precise, this movie is a purely Hong Kong movie, and the gimmick of "3D police and gangster movie" is indeed very eye-catching.

"Hello, Director Lin Nan." An old man walked over with a smile on his face.

This is the first time for Lin Nan to see this prestigious film company owner and producer in Hong Kong face to face.

"Producer Jiang, hello."

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" and many other familiar movies, this man is one of the producers, and he is also the main producer or producer.

"I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, and hope to collaborate once in the future."

"You're welcome." Lin Nan responded with a smile.

No matter what the other party said was sincere or polite, Lin Nan never thought about cooperation.

Lin Nan Pictures' only partner in Hong Kong is the Ying Huang family, and this family is enough.

Ten minutes later, looking at Jiang Zhiqiang's walking back, Liu Dehua said:

"Jiang Sheng is very powerful. He has large capital and independent overseas distribution channels..."

"Brother Hua, thank you for your kindness, but times have changed, and I don't lack these." Lin Nan interrupted Liu Dehua.

"Hahaha, that's right. Jiang Sheng asked you to come today, but now it seems that he has seen your attitude."

Liu Dehua lowered his voice and leaned closer:

"There will probably be a lot of people annoying you later. The mainland film industry is developing too fast. Many companies on Hong Kong Island are eager to find long-term partners."

Lin Nan nodded, "Thank you, Brother Hua, for reminding me."

Sure enough, the more successful people are, the more sensitive their noses are. Internet companies are about to enter the market, and the mainland film and television industry will no longer need the Hong Kong industry. Many people there are a little anxious.

…………

It's almost time for Lin Nan to leave for a visit.

There are no direct flights from China to Iceland? !

He had to fly to Moscow first and then directly to Iceland, which was a bit troublesome.

Lin Nan was in the office, continuing to perfect the script, when Ning Hao also called.

"My side of "Heart Blossoms" is about to be launched. Why is Zhao Liying in your company still promoting it? Isn't this nonsense!"

Ning Hao said with a questioning tone.

"When Director Wang comes to borrow someone, I have to give him face. I have an agreement with him. As long as you are ready to turn on the phone, Zhao Liying will come back immediately."

After hearing what Lin Nan said, Ning Hao changed his tone:

"Then now, call her back immediately. By the way, will you come to the opening ceremony? You are also one of the producers and the producer of "Heart Blossoms"."

"Can't go, I have a flight tomorrow."

"Flying to Hollywood again? What project is this time?"

"What the hell, where did so many projects come from?" Lin Nan laughed and cursed.

"Then where are you going?"

"Iceland, go visit the class."

"Oh, I understand, go find your Yifei.

Didn't I tell you that you're going to visit me after we haven't seen each other for three weeks? It’s okay if I haven’t seen your sister for three years! "

"Director Ning, please say it again. I'll record it." Lin Nan was very happy.

"Haha, are you kidding me? Okay, let her come back quickly. The movie will start shooting in the next two days."

"Coward!"

Lin Nan sent Ning Hao a message.

…

Although Wang Changtian was a little reluctant, there was nothing he could do. As soon as Lin Nan called, Zhao Liying left the team.

"How's the finale of "Four Famous Catchers" going?"

"The special effects are still being worked on, so there should be no problem before the end of the year." Lin Nan replied.

Tiangong Color is very busy right now, and many of the special effects for movies in the industry are being done here.

It has been expanding in the past few years, and the other two floors of the building that have been reserved have already filled one floor.

"That's good. When the second part is released, we will set the schedule for the last one."

…………

The next day, Lin Nan and two assistants were driven to the airport in a company car.
