Chapter 97 Winning
"Who?"

"Jiang Liu, who is that person?"

"I have the impression that it's that person from the film bureau?"

"Bullshit, it's obviously Han Sanping, the real boss of Huaxia Film Company. He's turned into an entertainment reporter one by one. I don't even know him."

When he saw the middle-aged man coming out of Room 1816, he waved, and Jiang Liu walked straight over. The reporters in the corridor all talked about who the visitor was, and how big his background was.

At the same time, Gong Li and Sun Zhou turned around at the same time.

But what he saw was the tightly closed door of Room 1816 and the 'Do Not Disturb' sign.

Room 1816.

Jiang Liu took a quick look and found that besides Han Sanping there was someone he knew, Section Chief Yu, who had trained him and Jiang Wen at the film bureau.

"Yuke."

"I have to change my words, Yu Chu." Han Sanping corrected him.

Yu Chu smiled and waved his hands, and asked curiously: "Why were the reporters blocking the door?"

"I don't know where the reporter got the news that Gong Li lives on the 18th floor. I happened to be going out to buy a suit and I was surrounded." Jiang Liu said with a smile.

"Explain the company's articles of association. The human resources organization is not perfect. The boss participated in such an important event and didn't even arrange the preliminary work."

Han Sanping echoed Yu Chu said: "This is also a common problem of many private enterprises nowadays. They pursue profits first and avoid other side effects. The company structure is chaotic. State-owned enterprises have redundant personnel and there are more people who eat leisurely than work. The combination of the two is a good idea. alright."

"So we need to wash away the sand in big waves."

Director Yu said something philosophical, looked at Jiang Liu and said: "You go to the suite to change clothes, and we will go to the gym together later."

"to make."

Jiang Liu was not pretentious and felt uncomfortable staying with these two people.

But I don’t know how many people in the industry want to come and receive education but can’t find a way.

After changing into suits and coming out of the suite, the two leaders were talking about Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer".

The whole year of 2001 is about to pass, and I would like to mention the two most popular movies and two people in this year's film industry.

The first half of the year was Ang Lee and his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

The second half of the year is Stephen Chow and his "Shaolin Football".

"Shaolin Soccer" was launched in major theaters in Hong Kong in July. As of the end of the season, the box office has exceeded HK$6000 million, breaking all box office records for local movies.

When "Shaolin Soccer" took off at the box office in Hong Kong and wanted to continue galloping into the mainland film market, it was hit hard.

If the film has not passed censorship, it cannot be released in the mainland.

This is what the two leaders said, and Jiang Liu heard that there were probably two reasons.

First, the name Shaolin was not chosen well. A certain religion in the mainland was very disgusted and boycotted it.

Second, "Shaolin Soccer" was launched at the wrong time in the mainland.

The reputation of domestic sports and football circles is already poor.

In recent years, there have been noisy incidents of match-fixing and black whistles. At this time, we are making every effort to prepare for the World Cup. Many plots in "Shaolin Football" seem to be deliberately mocking.

It was confirmed from Yu Chu that the movie could not be released in the mainland, and Mr. Han looked regretful.

The Huaxia Film Company he is responsible for has the right to introduce, produce, and distribute movies, and it also controls the largest theater chain in the country. But without good film sources, everything is in vain.

Without money, his ambitions are just decorations. The domestic film market and the rise of domestic films are only literal slogans. "How was the filming of "Mobile Phone"?" Han Sanping calmed down and asked Jiang Liu.

"It won't delay the release on New Year's Day. I'll be filming the academy scene after I get back. Can Boss Han help me contact some celebrities from CCTV to come and make guest appearances?"

"It shouldn't be a problem."

Mr. Han nodded and looked at Yu Chu: "It's almost time, shall we go down?"

"Go down." As he stood up, Yu Chu pointed at Jiang Liu and said: "Young people have quick brains and will be an important force in the development of domestic films in the future. In two years, we will have sufficient financial resources. We will organize a group of young directors with potential to study abroad. advanced experience."

"I've had this idea for a long time." Han Sanping nodded.

After leaving the room, there were far fewer reporters in the corridor. The three of them went down to the lobby, where the Ningbo organizer's reception car had been waiting for a long time.

They rushed to the stadium at the beginning of the night, and the three of them separated on the way to the backstage. Jiang Liu wanted to go to the red carpet waiting area.

The 500th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was more lively than expected. It is said that [-] media reporters came to the scene.

Compared with the swarming reporters, the starlight was dim.

Jiang Liu sat in the red carpet waiting area for a long time, and the only person he saw who could be called a big star was Stephen Chow, who came to the mainland to find a way to work on "Shaolin Soccer".

Gong Li, Zhao Wenzhuo.

Wang Zuxian in half-breath state.

Daniel Wu who is not that famous yet.

Liu Ruoying, Yuan Yongyi, Chen Kaige, Ning Jing.

There were not many acquaintances in the waiting area. Jiang Liu and Liu Ruoying chatted about "Pink Girl" for a while, then they were alone and squinted and fell asleep to prepare their acceptance speeches in advance.

After a short time, the organizer invited everyone to the waiting area. The great director Chen Kaige got on the white Buick first and walked around the stadium on the red carpet.

Afterwards, director Xie Jin, Stephen Chow, and Gong Li boarded the car one after another, and Jiang Liu was arranged behind them by the organizer.

This malicious arrangement made Jiang Liu realize what it means to be in the world of ice and fire.

The moment before, on both sides of the red carpet, an endless number of young people waved their balloons wildly and shouted, "Master Xing, Gong Li."

Stephen Chow's past movies have been regarded as classics by countless young people in the Mainland after watching them with the support of discs.

Since last year, "Westward Journey" starring him has been interpreted by students on university campuses as a post-modernist film, causing his popularity to soar in the mainland.

When it was Jiang Liu's turn, the shouts at the scene became less visible to the naked eye, until they all died down.

The young people at the scene had no ill intentions toward Jiang Liu. They simply couldn't name him and didn't know who he was.

Jiang Liu was not angry at the neglect of the audience, but was extremely happy.

He hopes that the distance between him and the audience will continue to be maintained. The audience likes the movies he makes and goes to the cinema to support them.

If you don't like it, just treat it like air and everyone will be well.

Jiang Liu happily walked into the award ceremony and sat down in his seat under the guidance of the staff.

For the next period of time, he could almost describe it as a year.

The performance of the show was nothing new. Among all the movies nominated for awards, he had only seen "Get in the Car and Let's Go". He really had no interest in the show or movie.

It wasn't until halfway through the awards ceremony that Jiang Liu perked up when he heard from presenter Ning Jing that "Jiang Liu, the winner of the 21st Golden Rooster Award for Debut Director Award, has the award-winning work "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger"."

Jiang Liu came to the stage with a smile on his face and looked at the audience who was completely silent after the applause ended. Jiang Liu placed the Golden Rooster Award he received on the podium and said slowly with a serious look on his face:
"I personally have experienced several major events this year. The capital's bid for the Olympics was successful, the China Football World Cup qualified, we also joined the World Trade Organization, and I, Jiang Liu, also hold the golden rooster, but the debut director award is not the end for me, this is just the beginning. !”
