Chapter 124 The Big Mi Mi's Foreign Fans
The Blue Dragon Award, Daejong Award, and Baeksang Arts Awards are collectively known as the three major film awards in Korea, and are a major event in the Korean film industry.

Since the rise of the Korean film cultural revival movement in the 90s and the export of the Hallyu Wave, the Blue Dragon Award has gradually become one of the most influential awards in Asia.

Although it is a domestic award in South Korea, the Blue Dragon Awards occasionally recognize outstanding films from other parts of Asia.

For example, Chen Gezi once won the Best Foreign Language Film Award for "Farewell My Concubine".

Although it is not an Oscar for best foreign language film, it is an honor anyway.

In all fairness, "Genius Gunner" is a good commercial movie, but there is still a big gap compared to movies like "Farewell My Concubine".

Zhang Hao himself was surprised to win the Blue Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

It can also be seen that Korean movie fans love this movie, and directly voted for this movie to be selected for the Blue Dragon Award.

Transferring from the capital, Zhang Hao came to Seoul, Da Mimi arrived two days earlier than him, and visited the famous scenic spots in Seoul.

Another interesting thing happened when I went through customs.

When the customs officer stamped him, he asked him in broken English: "What are you doing in Seoul?"

"I'm here to participate in the Blue Dragon Awards." Zhang Hao also replied in broken English.

"Oh? Are you an actor? What movie have you acted in?" The staff member was curious for a moment and asked.

"No," Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "I'm not, I'm a director."

"Really?" Looking at the young Zhang Hao, the staff didn't feel like it, and asked again: "Who did you come with this time?"

"My girlfriend, she has arrived." Zhang Hao felt a little annoyed, why did this customs officer talk so much.

"Should I know her?" The staff continued to ask.

"Uh, I don't know, her name is Da Mi Mi, maybe you know her." Zhang Hao replied.

"You?" The customs officer was serious for a second, and at the same time his expression was full of suspicion: "You are Mimi's boyfriend."

"Yes, I am, can I stamp it?" Zhang Hao's tone gradually became impatient.

"Are you really a powerful boyfriend?" The staff still looked skeptical.

"Well, big brother, I'm really the boyfriend of Da Mi Mi, can you stamp it?" Zhang Hao's voice became louder, attracting the eyes of the people around him.

The staff still had doubts on their faces, and they took the chapter and slapped Zhang Hao twice, and it was very hard.

Then he gave Zhang Hao's passport with an angry tone: "You go!"

"Uh!" Zhang Hao held his passport with a look of confusion, why did he feel that this staff member was even more angry than himself.

"What's wrong with him?" Zhang Hao couldn't understand, and asked his assistant Tang Qianqian.

Tang Qianqian smiled and said, "Boss, don't you know? Because of "Genius Gunner", Da Mi Mi is very popular in Korea recently."

"Really?" Zhang Hao was a little suspicious.

Just after customs, there is a magazine.

Tang Xiqian took one of the magazines and handed it to Zhang Hao, and said at the same time: "This is a fashion magazine in Korea. Last month, it ranked Chinese and Korean actresses, and Kim Tae-hee became the third on the list. .”

"Good guy, so there is such a thing!" Zhang Hao also did not expect it.

He can't understand Korean, but Da Mi Mi's name is dubbed in Chinese, which happens to be ranked third.

It seems that the staff at the airport are fans of Da Mi Mi, so they were so angry when Zhang Hao said that he was Da Mi Mi's boyfriend.

In this way, Zhang Hao is no longer angry, and has an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

After reuniting with Da Mimi, Zhang Hao told Da Mimi what happened at the airport customs, which made Da Mimi laugh.

"Hahahaha, there is such a thing, it's so amazing. But I also found out that I am a little popular in Korea, and it's all thanks to you." Da Mimi said.

In the past two days in Korea, Da Mi Mi has also noticed that she is well-known in Korea, and from time to time, she encounters male fans asking for autographs and group photos.

At present, the Korean wave is exported to the mainland, and she is also a reverse export.

After talking about this matter, Da Mimi was concerned about the accident that happened to the crew: "How is Brother Xiaoming and the injured photographer?"

"Basically there is no serious problem. Brother Xiao Ming will be able to return to filming after a week or two of recuperation. I'm afraid it will take a long time for Wujiang to recover." Zhang Hao said.

"It's okay, it's good that nothing major happened, so what are you going to do next?"

"Although the preliminary investigation indicated that it was an accident, I still feel that this matter is not normal, and I have asked a private investigator to investigate it." Zhang Hao said.

"Hey," Da Mimi sighed, "It's a blessing in misfortune that this matter is so troublesome."

In fact, due to the timely response, the public opinion was not allowed to spread, nor did it give other people a chance to interfere. This is already a very rare thing.

Perhaps because of the pleasant exchange at the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, Brother Cheng Long has always been very optimistic about Zhang Hao and expressed his appreciation for Zhang Hao.

Brother Cheng Long happened to come to the mainland to meet Zhang Li and co-direct the movie "The Revolution of [-]".

Cheng Long took the initiative to accept media interviews after hearing about the handling of the accident that happened to Zhang Hao's crew, and the fact that some media were still holding on to this matter.

"It's normal to be injured when filming. I often get injured when filming. Broken arms and legs are common things. At that time, it was all about turning on the phone, jumping, and then being sent to the hospital. It was as simple as that.

So I think you don't need to make a big deal out of a molehill. Director Zhang Hao handled it very well, better than many unscrupulous crews. "

With the status of the eldest brother, standing up to speak for Zhang Hao with a clear-cut stand, the effect is naturally very obvious.

As soon as the elder brother stood up, mainland directors and actors who had a good relationship with the elder brother, and Hong Kong Islanders who had a social relationship with Zhang Hao in the mainland also stood up to support Zhang Hao.

Although there wasn't much trouble in the first place, it's no problem now.

Netizens would also like to sigh, Zhang Hao has a really wide network of contacts, and the elder brother cares about the younger generation very much.

At the same time, the eldest brother also said that when he has time, he will visit the crew of "Fatal Magic" and exchange creative ideas with Zhang Hao, a young filmmaker.

Zhang Hao was flattered to watch the battle, but the eldest brother's son was really difficult to support, and Zhang Hao really couldn't help him.

Perhaps, Zhang Hao can help the eldest brother.

After all, since "Zodiac", the quality of Brother Cheng Long's movies has been declining, and the reputation accumulated over the years has been exhausted little by little.

Brother Cheng Long is a business card of Chinese-language movies to the outside world. It is no exaggeration to say that Bruce Lee may not have as much influence as Brother Cheng Long.

Of course, this is just Zhang Hao's personal opinion, after all Brother Xiaolong left too early.

Therefore, since it is a business card, it is natural to maintain word of mouth is the best.As a Chinese-language filmmaker, everyone hopes that their circle can be influential all over the world.

Not only reputation and status, but also influence, Chinese-language films can sell copyrights overseas, these are real benefits.

And always limited to the domestic market, it seems that the ambition is not enough. Once reborn, not to mention surpassing Hollywood, at least it should be world-famous!
Zhang Hao planned to have a chat with Brother Cheng Long about this matter after he went back, if he could talk, if he couldn't talk, let it go.

What they can talk about is limited to movies, Zhang Hao can't talk about other things, and brother Cheng Long obviously won't listen to him.

On the night of November 26th, the No.30 [-]st Blue Dragon Awards Ceremony was held at the National Theater in Seoul, and was broadcast live by South Korea's KBS TV station.

Although Zhang Hao and Mi Mi attended the awards ceremony, unfortunately, the awards ceremony was not broadcast in China.

So if you want to see the grand occasion of this awards ceremony, you need to think of another way.

But for the supernatural netizens, this is not a difficult task.

Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi walked on the red carpet arm in arm. The red carpet was full of cheering and screaming Korean movie fans, as well as Korean entertainment media reporters.

For the two outsiders, Korean movie fans don't seem to be so enthusiastic, and occasionally a few powerful fans send a few screams.

Da Mi Mi poses on the red carpet, showing the demeanor of Chinese actresses, quite a feeling of overpowering Korean actresses from all walks of life.

In fact, Zhang Hao had joked with Da Mi Mi before, and bought a hot gift and a draft when he went back, saying that he was the best in Korea and dominated the show.

Da Mi Mi is still thinking about it, and most likely he is going to issue this draft.

In fact, many actresses have the act of going abroad to rub the red carpet, and there is a wave of exports to domestic sales.For example, Da Tiantian, who is still not well-known now, went to Cannes to rub the red carpet and was chased away by the staff.

The only female stars who can truly have the confidence to walk on the red carpet of Western film festivals without showing timidity are Gong Huang, International Zhang and a few other actresses.

After Da Mimi finished posing and the photographer arranged by her agent took enough photos, the two continued to move forward.

Later, the crew of "The Lonely Agent" has already started to walk the red carpet, and the popularity of the lead actor Yuan Bin is still very high in Korea.

The movie "Agent" is very popular again, so the fans on both sides of the red carpet gave the highest screams and applause.

Because the voice was so loud that it overwhelmed the voice of the red carpet host introducing Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi.

But Zhang Hao didn't care, anyway, he was babbling, and he couldn't understand all kinds of Western vocabulary.

Go to the signature wall of the red carpet, sign as usual and take a group photo.The red carpet host asked Zhang Hao and Da Mimi: "What's your feeling when you come to Korea for the Blue Dragon Awards for the first time?"

Thinking that the domestic audience would not be able to see it anyway, so Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi answered in English, although the words were a bit lame.

"I'm very happy that the Blue Dragon Awards can invite us. This is a major event for Asian films. I hope we can create a bright future for Asian films together." This is what Zhang Hao said.

"I am also very happy to be loved by so many Korean movie fans. We will continue to bring better works in the future." This is what Da Mimi said.

Jay Chou came to South Korea to participate in a certain event, the host asked him to say hello to Korean fans in Korean, Jay Chou said that Hwa Liu is the best.

Although Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi are not as influential as Jay Chou's Asian kings, they represent their own face when they go out, so they must pay special attention to their words and deeds.

Therefore, all speeches are well-regulated, neither arrogant nor inferior, and it is good to uphold the golden mean.

The crew of "Lonely Agent" came up soon, so the red carpet host didn't ask Zhang Hao and Da Mimi any questions, and let them in directly.

Zhang Hao is not very familiar with Korean celebrities, he knows only a few well-known beauties, such as Lin Yuner, Kim Tae-hee and others, and others are face blind.

Might know the name, but not what it looks like.

The same is true for Da Mi Mi, she knows a few handsome Korean guys, such as Jung Ji-hoon, the hero of "Full House", Song Seung-heon, the hero of "Blue Life and Death", and Song Joong-ki.

When the Korean wave invaded the mainland, these few can be described as representative Korean stars.There are also female group stars who also have many fans in China.

Compared with TV dramas, it is generally difficult for Korean movies to be released in mainland theaters.

The main reason is that Korean movies sometimes take a bit too bold themes, and the scissors' official master can't stand the exciting scenes, so he definitely won't give them.

Korean dramas generally don't have this problem. Domestic Huitai often introduce Korean dramas, and the ratings are good.

Zhang Hao and Da Mimi found their seats and sat down, because they didn't know other Korean movies, and it seemed that Koreans were not very interested in them.

Once Zhang Hao and Da Mimi were alone, Zhang Hao was so happy, and whispered to Da Mimi.

"I have already given the script of "Shark Shore" to Lao Guo and asked him to prepare. It is estimated that the filming of this film will start next summer. When the time comes, you should reserve a good schedule and don't conflict." Zhang Hao said.

"Okay, I just finished "Love Story in Beijing" and then went to "Scary Step by Step" as a guest star. I basically have nothing to do in the second half of the year." Da Mimi said happily.

Although Zhang Hao did not win the award for best original screenplay at the Golden Horse Awards, being nominated is enough to prove Zhang Hao's screenwriting skills.

Of course, Da Mi Mi is very interested in this script that was specially written to praise himself.

"Will you be the producer of this movie?" Da Mimi asked.

"Of course, it's Lao Guo's first time directing a movie. If I hadn't supported him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle the investors and crew members." Zhang Hao said.

Only then did Da Mimi feel relieved, she thought that Zhang Hao would just finish writing the script and leave it alone.

It's not that she looks down on Guo Fan, it's just that Da Mi Mi clearly knows that it is too difficult for a new director to get ahead.

How many new directors are stuck on this difficult first step, and there is no chance to direct alone in this life.

However, Zhang Hao always looked at Guo Fan differently, and continued to help and support Guo Fan, so that Da Mi Mi also looked at Guo Fan differently.

She believed in Zhang Hao's vision, there must be something special about this Guo Fan.

The two chatted, and the Blue Dragon Awards ceremony officially kicked off.

Compared with other Korean filmmakers and stars, Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi are more like outsiders.

Because I couldn't understand what these Koreans were saying, the two people around applauded and applauded, and the two people around laughed and laughed.

After Liu Haizhen won the best supporting actor for "Moss", he finally came to the part of "Genius Gunner".

This time it was different. Considering that Zhang Hao and Da Mimi could not understand Korean, the host specially said in English: "In the past year, there have been many excellent Asian movies, and one of them caused a lot of trouble after it was released in Korea. great social repercussions.

"Genius Gunner", a masterpiece of genius, deeply explores social issues such as the rigidity of the education system, class solidification, and the gap between the rich and the poor, and is deeply loved by the audience.

The director of today's film, the young Zhang Hao and the lead actor Da Mimi, both came to the scene to accept the best foreign language film award from the Blue Dragon Award Organizing Committee, and invited them to the stage. "

As the host's voice fell, Zhang Hao took Da Mimi's hand and waved around, and then stepped onto the stage with steady steps, taking the trophy for the best foreign language film from the Korean national actor Song Kanghao.

The trophy went to Da Mi Mi, and Zhang Hao delivered a brief acceptance speech on stage: "In the past few years, our exchanges in the cultural field have become closer and closer.

Many outstanding Korean artists are also very well-known in China. Similarly, Chinese films have also achieved good results in South Korea.

All of this is the joint efforts of all of us. I hope that in the future we will continue to strengthen exchanges in the cultural field and jointly build a bright future for Asian films. "

On such occasions, it is not a big problem to publish some formulaic acceptance speeches, and try to speak as big as possible.

At this time, Zhang Hao represented a Chinese-language filmmaker, so naturally he couldn't say something that would easily cause disputes.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, all the Korean stars and filmmakers in the audience applauded.

Da Mi Mi also talked about his own feelings, the content is similar to Zhang Hao's.It's been rehearsed before, so it's not a big problem.

After that, Zhang Hao Da Mi Mi went down to accept the backstage interview.

The interview also said the same thing, but the reporter asked a very interesting question: "Director Zhang Hao, you are a very good director in China, have you considered cooperating with our Korean actors?"

"Well, if there is a chance in the future, we will definitely cooperate."

"Then have you considered finding a Korean actress as your girlfriend?" The reporter continued to ask.

Da Mi Mi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhang Hao with threatening eyes.

Feeling the murderous intent, Zhang Hao replied unhurriedly: "I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend, and it's the one next to me."

"So that's the case, I'm sorry, I was abrupt." The reporter who asked the question didn't know the relationship between Da Mimi and Zhang Hao.

If Zhang Hao hadn't asked this question, it is estimated that the next question would be to ask which Korean actor Da Mi Mi likes.

Although the Blue Dragon Award has received a lot of attention in South Korea, it is not very popular in China.

At most, because "Genius Gunner" won the best foreign language film, the media gave a little space and briefly introduced the award-winning situation.

But the most important thing is the official recognition.

After the Blue Dragon Award was settled, several official media Weibo accounts sent text messages congratulating Zhang Hao on winning the Blue Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film and affirming Zhang Hao’s contribution to film cultural exchange.

Not only the recognition on the surface, but also the benefits in the dark.

For example, Zhang Hao was included in the list of young directors supported by the above, and it was very high.

It is said that after watching "Genius Gunner", a big boss of a certain culture was full of praise, and privately told the third master that it would be great if there were more directors like Zhang Hao.
