Huo Zhiming's film scripts are full of unique irony. Unfortunately, he has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with. He has offended many people, which leads to a lack of coordination between the director and actors in his works. As a result, the reputation of his works has been getting worse and worse, and later no one was willing to work with him anymore.
However, when Donald and Cesare heard about the movie "Criminal Suspect", they became extremely interested in Huo Zhiming. They discussed it enthusiastically in a harmonious atmosphere, which attracted the attention of many fans and media on the street.
"Cesare's there!"
Reporters from China News also rushed to the United States before the start of "A Century of Filmmakers".
At the charity dinner held by "Times Style" before, Yu Zilin was temporarily transferred to the entertainment group for an interview. However, she accidentally discovered that Jiang Se had a trend of cooperation with the ELYSEES brand in that issue and made a great contribution. The editor-in-chief of the entertainment group poached Yu Zilin from other interview teams, believing that she had the keenness to discover entertainment gossip. This time, for the "Century Filmmakers" event, she was a reporter sent by China Information to interview with her colleagues in the US branch of China Information.
The reporter stationed in the United States who was traveling with Yu Zilin was named Guan Mingming, who was about the same age as Yu Zilin. She usually interviewed American celebrities and was very familiar with foreign celebrities, but she didn't know much about domestic celebrities. She first saw Cesare and then Donald.
Compared with many new generation stars who like to be in the limelight and accept many interviews a day to gain traffic and cover, actors like Donald are extremely rare to Guan Mingming.
Having reached Donald's status, he no longer cares whether or not he has media interviews, because interview opportunities with him are often hard to come by for the media.
What attracts the most attention about him is his works and his amazing acting skills. Apart from that, he does not like to appear in public and is a very low-key person.
But this year, after the official website of 'Filmmakers of the Century' announced the films that were shortlisted for screening in the Sacred Auditorium in late November, "Salvation of the Divine" was also on the list. As the leading actor of the film, Donald's collaboration with Cesare this time is another new work of his after several years of silence, which has attracted extraordinary attention.
"I dare to make a bet with you." Guan Mingming saw Donald, turned around and whispered to Yu Zilin:
"Among the media attracted by the 'Centennial Filmmakers' event this year, at least nine out of ten reporters have Donald on their interview lists!"
Yu Zilin didn't pay attention to what her colleague said at this moment, because after hearing Guan Mingming's words, she subconsciously looked in the direction she was looking. Guan Mingming saw Cesare and Donald, and she saw Jiang Se!
The news of Jiang Se cutting her hair short has spread in China as she attended an event in the United States.
Everyone was speculating on why she cut her hair short, whether it was because of relationship problems or something else. It was also the first time that Yu Zilin actually saw her with short hair.
Such difficult-to-control short bangs above the eyebrows made her look pure and cool. She seemed to have a really good relationship with Cesare and Donald, chatting and laughing freely, unlike what many people speculated that it was just a hype for the release of the movie.
Yu Zilin was really happy to see Jiang Se here.
The "Centennial Filmmakers" has been held every three years since its establishment ninety-six years ago. The best works are selected and the names are engraved on the "Centennial Filmmakers" wall of honor. However, in more than a century, no Chinese work has been remembered by history, and no film starring Chinese actors has been shortlisted.
Jiang Se's participation in such an event has attracted the attention of many domestic movie fans and audiences. She is the first Chinese actor to openly enter the sacred auditorium in the name of her work, rather than the first Chinese elite filmmaker to enter in the name of membership.
She came with her work, and was very likely to be nominated for an award, walking the red carpet laid out for the top filmmakers.
If "God's Redemption" can be nominated, it will represent the recognition of Jiang Se by the world's audience, and also the recognition of Chinese actors. For Chinese movie fans, it is a major event that deserves great attention.
Many of Jiang Se's fans in China have been paying attention to the official voting and supervision video window of "100 Years of Filmmakers" in advance. There has been a lot of discussion about Jiang Se on the Internet. Everyone hopes that her work can be shortlisted and nominated, walk along that long red carpet, and be recorded on video.
Yu Zilin saw Laura's fans in the distance holding signs with impolite words on them, and felt a little annoyed. She originally wanted to go up and do a brief interview with Jiang Se, but the queue to enter the Sacred Auditorium was moving very fast, and it didn't take long before she checked on Cesare and others.
Yu Zilin had no choice but to pick up her camera and take a few photos of Jiang Se, giving up the idea of interviewing her right now.
She had a hunch that this time "God's Redemption" might stand out from a group of excellent works. Cesare had spent ten years honing his skills to come up with this sincere work. He was willing to replace Jiang Se despite the heavy pressure. There must be something about Jiang Se that he admired.
If "God's Redemption" is really nominated for an award, the Sacred Auditorium will open its doors to the media before the award ceremony. Her chance to interview Jiang Se can be saved for after Jiang Se is nominated!
The interior of the sacred auditorium can be seen in the official photos released by "A Century of Filmmakers". It is solemn and majestic, with the elegant and majestic decoration style of more than a century ago.
Even with the passage of time, later generations have continued to repair and update the equipment, but they have only made modifications based on maintaining the original decoration style.
The feeling of looking at the photos is completely different from that of actually entering the hall. The lobby of the entire auditorium is extremely high. Looking up, the ceiling is arc-shaped, like an unreachable sky.
Everything here is movie-related. In the glass showcases on the surrounding walls are images of celebrities. As time goes by, their smiles remain the same.
On the left and right sides of the auditorium and upstairs, there are different theater screening platforms. At the back is an auditorium that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it is also the venue for the final "Centennial Filmmakers" awards ceremony.
The screening room for "God's Redemption" is in Hall 16. Members who want to watch the film can enter their membership code in advance and reserve the film.
Compared with the directors and actors participating in the exhibition, the number of members of "Centennial Filmmakers" is very large. Even though Shu Peien came to line up early in the morning, it was more than four hours later when he passed the identity verification and entered the sacred auditorium.
The screening of "Redemption of God" was in forty minutes, and seeing that there was still plenty of time, Shu Peien bought a fast food meal to fill his stomach, and then prepared to go to Hall 16. (To be continued)
