During the awards season of the Noah Film Festival, the town of Sunil, the host city, ushered in the busiest time of the year.
Noah Film Festival is the most prestigious film festival in the world, ranking first in terms of popularity and gold content. Whether it is for professionals in the industry or for ordinary people who just watch the excitement, the Noah Film Festival every spring is the most noteworthy event in the film industry.
As a screenwriter, Shu Zimu will naturally not forget to pay attention to the highest award in the film industry. After all, once he can win a trophy from the Noah Film Festival, it is equivalent to standing at the top of the industry. Even if the winners do not necessarily have the world's top treatment in the future, there are not a few people who do not improve or even go downhill after winning the award. After all, there are many factors involved in the development of this circle, but at least they can win the Noah Award It is already a powerful proof of strength, and that trophy has always been the dream treasure of countless film practitioners.
Of course Shu Zimu was no exception.
This time during the awards season of the Noah Film Festival, Shu Zimu specially came to the small town of Sunil. Of course, he was not just here for sightseeing, but was nominated to wait for the results of the awards.
The film "Mirror Life" with an original screenplay by Shu Zimu has been nominated for many Noah Film Festival awards, including the best original screenplay. Shu Zimu, as a popular nominee, will naturally attend the awards ceremony.
In addition to best original screenplay, "Mirrored Life" was shortlisted for six awards. In addition to technical awards, there are three key awards, namely Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Foreign Language Film. Although seven nominations are not many, compared with other best picture competitors, it is already very good for a foreign language film. The Noah Award is said to be an art award that knows no borders, but in fact it is of course biased. It is also because Huaguo's cultural industry has gradually developed over the years, and its national strength has become more and more prosperous. Other countries have been envious of Huaguo's huge market, and this has gradually been able to get a share of various international awards.
This is the second time that Shu Zimu has been nominated for the Noah Award. Last year, another original film of his, "Turbid Flow", was nominated for the two important awards of Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film. However, the final The result is no harvest. This time "Mirror Mirror Life" is more competitive, and even got nominated for best picture, but the crew may not be able to get rid of the dilemma of getting nothing.
Fortunately, Shu Zimu was not nervous either. In the past few years, he has written one to three scripts every year, seven of which have been screened. It can be said that he is quite a prolific screenwriter. And most of these seven films have achieved outstanding results, either at the box office or award harvesters. Originally, Shu Zimu's style was more commercialized, but under the guidance of Mr. Guo, he gradually gained the ability to control more in-depth scripts, and created some excellent drama scripts on his own basis, all of which were not bad. Performance.
At least Shu Zimu's family already has more than one domestic movie trophy, and Shu Zimu has also successfully won two international awards, one of which was won by "Mirror Mirror Life" not long ago.
It can be said that the only thing Shu Zimu lacks now is the Noah Award, but he has nothing to lose, after all... he is really quite young now.
Shu Zimu is just over 26 years old now, but his achievements in his career are almost on the verge of reaching the top. Now he is a gold medal screenwriter highly respected by Huaguo and even the world's film circles. Most of his peers can't match his lifetime achievements. Compared with the past few years, in fact Shu Zimu is already far ahead of others. In addition, he doesn't seek much fame, so he is not too nervous to be nominated for the Noah Award twice.
But contrary to him, the rest of the crew, as well as the media fans in Huaguo, were extremely nervous, especially the media, which obviously had such heavy nominations as Best Picture and Best Actor, but paid a lot of attention to it. All the attention was placed on Shu Zimu, the screenwriter who made a comeback after losing the last election, and they all speculated whether Shu Zimu was a shame or failed again this time. The fans were also nervous. They expressed their blessings on Shu Zimu’s Weibo while cautiously comforting them in advance, saying that it is already very good to be nominated. The chances of Hua people wanting to win important awards at the Noah Film Festival are very small. I am worried. If Shu Zimu loses again, he will be in a bad mood.
The production team of "Mirror Mirror Life" is almost Shu Zimu's "queen" team. The actor Yun Hao, the director Che Jingyuan, and the producer are all old acquaintances. We have worked on at least two or three films together, we are very familiar with each other, we get along very well, and we trust each other's abilities.
However, for the matter of winning awards, it is not enough to have the ability. Although "Mirror Mirror Life" is excellent, the other films are not bad either. In addition to the long-standing disadvantages of foreign language films and Chinese films, the crew has no confidence. However, it is precisely because of this that everyone hopes that Huaguo's films and filmmakers can be proven to change their disadvantages, so they are very concerned about gains and losses.
Of course, most of this anxiety is only for the best foreign language film. For the best actor and best film, everyone basically has no hope.
But even so, the previous public relations work crew did not fall behind. Although the hope was very small, they did not give up completely.
Fortunately, the best foreign language film and the best original screenplay are still quite promising based on the nomination situation. Coupled with the crew's vigorous public relations, the possibility of being left behind is not too high. At least it is better than last year's "turbulent flow". has hope.
Therefore, everyone was uneasy and anxious, and tried to be calm and calm when facing outsiders and the media. The red carpet link before the awards ceremony is the last hurdle before picking the fruits of victory.
The main personnel of the nominated crew can attend the awards ceremony, but generally only candidates for important awards and well-known movie stars will receive attention on the red carpet. I don't know if it's because of Shu Zimu's extraordinary looks or the Qi family's extraordinary financial resources. Shu Zimu has received far more attention than the other nominees for the Best Original Screenplay Award, and is even not far behind some world-renowned movie stars. Although the cheers from the audience were far less than that, there were quite a lot of microphones and flashlights handed over by the media. Of course, many of them should probably be distributed to Qi Yan who was present as his male companion.
As a couple who have been married for many years, Shu Zimu and Qi Yan clearly reflect this point in their dress. The matching colors and styles and the designs that echo each other make the two look harmonious and inseparable when they stand together, which is eye-catching. understand their relationship. The intimate gestures and small movements of looking at each other and whispering from time to time make it impossible to doubt that this is a loving couple.
Of course, more importantly, these two people are also very seductive!
Probably because of this reason, the cameraman in charge of the live broadcast shot put the camera on the two of them several times. Although they only stayed for a short time, they also attracted the attention of many viewers.
Because of the nomination of "Mirror Mirror Life", many Huaguo netizens are paying attention to the award ceremony of the Noah Awards. When Shu Zimu and Qi Yan appeared on the camera, there were a lot of bullet screens floating by.
[Ah, it's Mu Mu and Mr. Qi! !]
[Why do I feel that Mu Mu has reached a new level of good looks, especially when she is with Mr. Qi]
[My Chao Mu Da Da is really an excellent representative who can rely on appearance but rely on talent]
[The cameraman took shots of them many times, giving me a hopeful feeling of winning the prize...]
After all, he was nominated once last year, and with the promotion of "Mirror Mirror Life" these days, Shu Zimu also has some familiarity among audiences in other countries. Those who express doubts about these two oriental faces will soon be followed by barrage explain.
Compared with the two of them, Yun Hao, who is also good-looking and nominated for the best actor, did not receive preferential treatment from the cameraman. It can only be said that Shu Zimu and Qi Yan standing together did produce an effect of one plus one greater than two, making the two People are particularly eye-catching even on the star-studded Noah red carpet.
However, during the interview, Yun Hao still got enough attention. As a nominee for such a heavyweight award as Best Actor, even if he is just a Chinese actor who is almost unknown in L country, it is impossible for the host to ignore him. And Yun Hao is also quite young, far younger than the average age of nominees for this award. Although there are many nominees younger than him, he is far from being able to squeeze into the top ten of the youngest records, but youth is capital, no matter what, being nominated for the Noah Award at this age represents a promising future.
Of course, what's more important is that the public relations and publicity actions of the "Mirror Mirror Life" crew during this period have made these insiders in country L realize that this does not seem to be an ordinary Hua country movie in their perception. In addition to the rare high standard and high quality, what is even more unbelievable is that this crew seems to have a large background, and even has a lot of connections in the upper circles of country L, so that those academic old antiques are willing to give some face , not to mention other producer investors.
Films produced locally in country L rarely have such energy.
This naturally made other people treat the "Mirror Mirror Life" crew with a cautious attitude, and they were not so sure that they would definitely be the best picture and best actor running with them. After all, in terms of the quality of the film alone, the other films are not significantly better than "Mirror Life", and even slightly inferior in terms of subject matter and performance difficulty. If you don't consider your background, "Mirror Mirror Life" is the one with the greatest chance of winning. It’s just that according to the unspoken rules, the main awards are unlikely to be awarded to foreign language films, especially Chinese films that have been declining for many years. Therefore, at the beginning, everyone didn’t think of “Mirror Life” as an opponent, until they found out that the other party actually caught up with many The relationship between the big bosses in the circle became worrying.
It's not that no one thinks that the most important awards must not be awarded to Huaguo films, but such words must not be put on the bright side. After all, if a hat of racism is deducted, it will give the other party more leverage. Coupled with some pressure from the capital, the relevant personnel are tight-lipped, and the teams of other nominated films can only operate in private no matter how anxious they are. However, the embarrassing thing is that the public relations effect of the movie produced by the giant of the film industry in L country seems to be not as good as "Mirror Mirror Life".
The films nominated this year can be said to be quite satisfactory, none of them are particularly amazing, and any of the final awards is actually justified, so the effect of public relations operations has become particularly important. Originally, Huaguo's origin in "Mirror Mirror Life" was a big minus item, but after a series of actions by the other party, it seems that it is not certain.
This made the filmmakers in country L very cautious and cautious. If they knew that the crew of "Mirror Mirror Life" didn't expect the best film at all, they don't know how it would feel...
Yun Hao was wearing a rather low-key white casual suit. Compared with Westerners, his relatively thin body and simple attire made him inconspicuous in the entire venue. But when the camera focuses on him, you can directly feel the relatively introverted confidence and vitality of the Orientals, which makes him not stage frightened on this world-class stage.
"Welcome our actor candidate! Orientals are the darling of time. I feel that you look younger than my eighteen-year-old nephew." The host looked at Yun Hao and said with a smile, "The first time Participating in the Noah Film Festival was nominated for Best Actor, I have to say that the young people nowadays are really getting better and better.”
Yun Hao smiled and said: "Actually, I am almost thirty years old. Compared to a real young man like your eighteen-year-old nephew, I can only be regarded as an uncle."
"No, no, don't say that, of course 30 is still very young, otherwise what should I do if I am 40. And you look like you are only 18." The host teased again and changed the topic back to Emphasis: "Is there any special feeling when you come to Noah Film Festival for the first time?"
"I feel very excited. After all, I can meet a lot of seniors I like, and maybe even get autographs and group photos!" Yun Hao looked excited, "I just confirmed the positions of Senior Melissa and Director Gardner, and I am going to go to the office immediately." Take a chance to say hello."
The host responded quickly, "It seems that you like 'Beauty in the Mirror' very much, right?" This is a classic film starring Melissa and directed by Gardner, which won the Noah Award Grand Slam many years ago.
"Yes, I like it very much! I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet several teachers before, and I feel very pleasantly surprised." These two are special guests, not the nominees who can be sure to attend and the winners of the previous year.
"It seems that you and them are very destined. You see, your movies have 'mirror' in their titles. Maybe you can get a good result like 'Beauty in the Mirror' this time." The host said with a smile.
Yun Hao sighed exaggeratedly when he heard the words, "Thank you very much for your blessing, but 'Mirror Mirror Life' has neither nominated for best director nor leading actress, so don't think too much about it."
The host "haha" laughed twice, "There is no heroine and you are the male protagonist. In 'Mirror Mirror Life', you played two roles, and you played both roles very well. Don't you have confidence in yourself? "
This question is a bit of a trap, but it’s something I’m used to, and it’s not difficult, Yun Hao said frankly; “I can’t say whether I have confidence, if I am lucky enough to win an award, I am very happy, if not, it makes sense. The performances of the other nominees are very good. Excellent, I am actually not as good as your predecessors in terms of skills and experience, but the director made good points, and the character setting also took advantage."
"Oh, Yun, you are really a typical oriental person, very humble. I guess you are still very conservative. I heard that you have never had a girlfriend? Don't girls in Huaguo take the initiative when facing an excellent man like you? ? Or is your vision too high?" Celebrity romance is always an eye-catching topic, and the host knows that Yun Hao is very popular in China, so naturally he won't let it go.
Yun Hao's expression remained unchanged, and he used his usual rhetoric: "The main reason is that the actor's work is too busy, and I really haven't met a girl who is tempted."
"Then it seems that you have high vision? In this case, I want to ask you a question," the host showed a teasing look, and winked at Yunhao, "There are so many actresses present today, which one do you think is your favorite?" type?"
"Of course Ms. Melissa!" Yun Hao said without hesitation.
"Oh, well, I forgot that our three-time actress is still here." The host showed annoyed look, but soon laughed maliciously, "Then Melinda and Debbie, you more Which one do you like? These two are the most popular in Luli magazine's selection of the most attractive actresses, you shouldn't like both of them, right?"
Melinda and Debbie are a tit-for-tat pair of actresses in L country. Although their drama and image do not overlap, their relationship has always been bad, and they are blatantly tearing up. Even the male star's bias towards them has become a big problem. Aspect. The local male stars in Country L were basically asked all over the place, so today it was the turn of Yun Hao, a foreigner who hadn't been asked yet.
Obviously, although the host was very polite to Yun Hao, he was not relentless when it was time to make trouble.
Yun Hao actually doesn't have a deep impression of the two of them, and he doesn't have any preference, but this question must not be answered in this way. After all, Melinda and Debbie are not the little stars in Huaguo who need to catch Yunhao's popularity, but L country. The first-line popular actress, Yun Hao, who is not very popular in country L, naturally can't lose face for the two of them.
There is not much time left for Yun Hao to think about it. He thought for a while and said, "If I have to choose, I will choose Melinda. The desserts she made in 'Sweet Taste' look delicious. I watched the movie I’ve been wanting to try it ever since. Of course Debbie is amazing too, but for me being able to cook is a super plus.”
"Just because Melinda's character can make desserts doesn't mean she can do it in reality," the host reminded.
Yun Hao was troubled for a moment, and said, "Then I can choose whoever knows how to cook food in reality?" To avoid the host's further questioning, Yun Hao quickly said: "Actually, their works are very good, and I like them very much. .”
Avoiding the most important and taking the lightest is the usual method when encountering such questions. The host saw that Yun Hao did not answer the loopholes, so he was very cautious. He knew that he could not make a breakthrough, so he stopped asking questions and teased him a few more times, and it was over. interview.
Compared with Yun Hao, the young and handsome leading actor, other members of the crew, such as the producer and director, did not encounter any gossip about actresses during the interview, but became relatively professional. But at the same time, the interview time was also much shorter than that of Yun Hao. Until it was Shu Zimu's turn.
Shu Zimu was the last to be interviewed by the crew. At this time, the whole red carpet session was coming to an end. Most of the well-known movie stars had already been interviewed, and the excitement of the audience disappeared a lot. However, when Shu Zimu and Qi Yan occupied the screen, the somewhat quiet real-time barrage and comments suddenly cheered up again.
[Mu Mu and Mr. Qi are out! !]
[It's finally their turn, I almost thought I couldn't wait anymore]
[The organizing committee's calculations are really good, Yun Haofang starts, Shu Zimufang ends, and the ratings of the entire Huaguo broadcast will not worry about it]
[Finally waiting for the close-up shot, this looks like he has never been from his peak period]
[After watching so many international movie stars, I still feel that Mu Mu, the screenwriter, is the pinnacle of beauty orz]
[crazy calling! ! ! I'm so excited to see the explosion!]
[President Qi is handsome as always, why did the two male gods have to digest it internally sad]
[CP fan licks the screen while taking screenshots~~]
[Stop posting bullet chats, I can't even see Mu Mu's flourishing beauty! !]
There are so many netizens in Huaguo, and the barrage almost completely covers the screen. Fortunately, audiences from other countries have seen it before when Yun Hao appeared on the stage, and this time they have learned to quickly turn off the barrage.
"Hua fans are crazy. But this same-sex couple is really eye-catching." The audience in L country thought while closing the barrage.
Although Westerners and Easterners are somewhat face-blind to each other due to race differences, a really good-looking face is still easy to catch the eye and leave an impression. Shu Zimu's flamboyant facial features may appear a little ostentatious in the eyes of Chinese people, but in the eyes of Westerners, they are more distinctive than people with traditional Chinese aesthetics, and it can be said that they look just right. And Qi Yan's outline is deep and tough, and he has a strong and steady momentum, which is not ordinary, and it just complements Shu Zimu.
Although the camera has scanned them many times before, most audiences from other countries did not pay attention, and only then did they become interested.
It should be the actor from the Huaguo movie... huh? It turned out to be a screenwriter? ! No wonder dare to have a same-sex partner at such a young age. But I didn't expect a screenwriter to be prettier than a star... Wow, it turns out that his husband is a film investor. No wonder he was able to come to the Noah Film Festival at such a young age. Sure enough, he has a backstage, so he can act in his own script! Many viewers thought this way, and at the same time, they became more and more attentive.
The host and Shu Zimu exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then asked curiously: "I heard that Mr. Qi bought a film and television company for Mr. Shu. At that time, did you do it out of trust in Mr. Shu's ability, or did you simply buy it?" Want to give me a gift?"
"I believe in his ability, but I didn't expect him to achieve the current results in a short period of time." Qi Yan said calmly, "From a business point of view, it was an excellent investment, but starting from my heart , of course it was just a gift."
The host was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "I regret asking this question, I feel that I am now brighter than the spotlight above my head..."
The audience in the audience and in front of the screen: Although we are far away or even not at the scene, Mo Ming feels that we are too redundant...
The author has something to say: The last episode has been dragged on for so long and I may not be able to save OTL. I gritted my teeth and applied for the list in order to avoid continuing salty fish. I hope that the episode can be completed before Qingming (T▽T)
I changed dormitories this semester, I was embarrassed to type in front of my new roommate, and I was still struggling with my graduation thesis, so I basically didn’t write anything in the first month of school (ㄒoㄒ)
Next week, I decided to go to the library to find a corner to code words. Whether there is a list or not, it will be updated from Thursday to the end [clench fist]
