The camera also showed Bo Yan in the audience. A smile appeared on his face. There was pure happiness in the smile, but also the comfort of a confidant, and a "Look, she is my wife" show off.
Although "Sunrise" was indeed a movie he directed specifically for Xia Siyu, he also directed it for himself. From the beginning of his career, no, I should say, he chose this major in college and wanted to be a director from the beginning.
He has always wanted to make a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation, but such a work requires not only the ability of the director himself, but also a good script and a good team. The script is easy to write but also difficult to write. Instead of rushing to get it on the shelves and writing a story that he cannot control, it is better to make a mature script that is already a classic.
"Sunrise" has the basis of the original work, and the story is originally excellent. And there is also a little bit of fun content for novices. "Sunrise" uses the heroine Chen Bailu as the soul and shadow. The stories surrounding her and her reflect the great changes in family and society during the Republic of China. The most interesting thing is that most of the story takes place in the apartment where Chen Bailu lives.
It's small but refined, it's small and broad, and the story is excellent. It's simply a big gift package for novices.
Xia Siyu thanked him. In fact, he also thanked her. As we all know, many movie stars come down to earth to film TV series and then land on their faces. Because everything in the movie is controlled by the director, paying close attention to details, and choosing the best one, so the movie shows the upper limit of the actor's acting skills.
TV dramas are different. The director's control is not as strict as in movies. Basically, it depends on the actors' own performance, and it almost passes the test. Therefore, TV dramas show the lower limit of actors’ acting skills.
But Xia Siyu is different. She has acted in dramas before and has a deep understanding of the role. When making the movie, although Bo Yan exercised a certain degree of control, his understanding and performance of the character were basically Xia Siyu's own personal behavior. If someone else were to play the role, even if Bo Yan strengthened his control, he would only be able to perform at 80% of the level at best. It was Xia Siyu's acting skills that gave the movie its soul.
If she had been as smooth sailing as she is now, she would still not have been able to understand the essence of the character. That kind of arrogant, sober and powerless decadence is a feeling that can only be captured through accumulation of life. This kind of tension greatly exceeded his expectations. As a result, when editing the film later, he couldn't help but follow the ups and downs of the characters in the play, creating a desolate, gorgeous and flowing feeling like a "stream of consciousness."
Rather than saying that Bo Yan gave Xia Siyu a chance, it is better to say that they complement each other.
After receiving the award, Xia Siyu walked off the stage. Bo Yan sat in his seat and watched her approach with the trophy in one hand. He didn't do anything too intimate, he just held her other hand when she sat down.
They are not only lovers, but also confidants who appreciate each other.
The award ceremony continues.
It’s a pity that the crew of “Sunrise” never received any grand prizes after that. No matter it was Best Actor, Best Director or Best Picture, they didn't get another one.
After the award ceremony was over, a group of reporters surrounded the crew outside the venue.
The year before last, Xia Siyu was not even qualified to be a finalist. When she came to Jinfeng, she was mercilessly ridiculed by a group of reporters. Although Xia Siyu was shortlisted last year, the film she was shortlisted for was "Boy 2" and she was destined to be a companion. Reporters, regardless of whether you are a companion or not, will always make sarcastic comments when you come here for a tour.
But this year, it's different.
Xia Siyu not only won the award, but this was her second trophy. At that time, some people joked that she was a vase of "beautiful beauty, soulless". Her image in the movie was "dressed up very beautifully, and then stood there stupidly".
Since winning the Cannes Supporting Actress Award and the film winning the Golden Lion in Venice, Xia Siyu has been making rapid progress. In addition to Wang Ju's "The Fall", Yu Fenfei's literary films, and superhero movies. A year ago, she and Boyan had to battle wits with the TV station to make a TV series based on their mother. Now, the TV station only regrets not investing more in them.
As long as the plot doesn't overwhelm you, and you have Xia Siyu and Bo Yan who are currently in the spotlight, and if nothing else, there will definitely be no problem in attracting investment.
Of course this is something to say later, but the media is so cheap. When Xia Siyu didn't win the award, the media still wanted to interview her even if she risked being directly criticized by Xia Siyu. And now, Xia Siyu won the award, but Bo Yan failed twice, and they came to target Bo Yan again.
"Bo Yan, you didn't win any awards at these two film festivals. Do you have any thoughts?"
Xia Siyu is the kind of person who says she is fine, but when you ask the people around her, she will greet your whole family. In fact, this is what she is a little worried about. She has obtained the two trophies of the Golden Moon and the Golden Phoenix, but Bo Yan has received nothing. Not only the male protagonist, but also the director has his share.
In fact, there are many explanations. The competition for the best director this time was very fierce. Wang Zhi and Yu Fenfei both came. In the end, Wang Zhi won the award. As for the male protagonist, in the original book of "Sunrise", the image of the male protagonist is not very full. Although Bo Yan changed some settings, he couldn't add them randomly. This is originally a movie centered on the female protagonist, so the space for him to play is limited. And the actor who won the award in the end did a very good job, so he didn’t feel dissatisfied when he lost.
Furthermore, he had already won the Golden Phoenix once before, so it was indeed quite difficult to get the second seal. These are objective facts.
Although Bo Yan is gentle and gentle, he is also very arrogant at heart. This is simply pointing at his nose and saying that he is not as good as his wife. Everything was the same as when these reporters interviewed her two years ago and one year ago, but she was shameless and didn't feel when she was scolded, but Bo Yan was different. She immediately wanted to help Boyan refute, but he grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
Xia Siyu looked back at him, with a smile on Bo Yan's face, a sincere one, not a forced smile. He said: "Indeed, this shows that whether I am a director or an actor, I still have a lot of room for improvement, and there is more to learn in the future. Moreover, as a director, although I did not win an award, the leading actress and supporting actress both Winning an award. This shows that the audience and judges still like my movies. It is enough for them to see my hard work. I hope to bring you more and better works in the future."
Indeed, as a first-time director, it is surprising that Bo Yan can shoot to this extent. In the past, the film and television company he and Han Yifan opened could only produce a few small online dramas and arrange some dramas, but now, some investors are optimistic about them and are ready to cooperate, and there are also some actors who want to cooperate.
