superstar director

Chapter 620 Exceptions
Just after the new year, the aftermath of the Lunar New Year stalls and the Spring Festival Gala has not yet dissipated, and many people are still in the mentality of entertainment and leisure, and the world-renowned Golden Tripod Awards has dedicated this year's biggest joke to everyone!

Even though the awards ceremony that night was held as usual, there were a few top celebrities and super popular idols on the red carpet, so that those who controlled the cameras during the awards ceremony did not know who to give the shots to!
Although the award ceremony still produced the best actor and best actress among new best actor and actress, but the topic of many celebrities being interviewed at the dinner was about the absence of a group of superstars such as Ning Sheng from the award ceremony.

Even the two film kings and queens couldn't escape, but this question is destined to be difficult to answer, no matter whether it's the jury or the big votes who are on the side of Ning Sheng, no one wants to offend them because of such a thing!

The next day, the ratings statistics for this year's Golden Tripod Awards Ceremony were released, and as expected, they hit a record low, so a group of media immediately began to report. They were not afraid of the old men on the jury. The content is merciless, with all kinds of ridicule and irony, everyone who watched it with gusto!Including Ning Sheng himself!

The headline on the front page of China Sun News wrote "Ning Cheng used the most absurd reason in history to sound the clarion call against the gentlemen of the Golden Tripod Awards! Look at the artists who stood with Ning Sheng, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, Ti Lung—Ning Tong, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying—which one of these names is not the top superstar and popular idol in China, and what is the selling point of the award ceremony's ratings? Isn't it just these popular superstars? If there is no idol superstar that fans love, who would care what film wins and what film fails, and would the audience care about your awards ceremony? Last night's ratings have proved that those old men who have one foot in the coffin, She has lost touch with society at all, if it continues like this, perhaps the Golden Tripod Award will lose her status alongside the Oscars, thus causing Huaxia's film awards to slip into the abyss—"

Asian Film News ridiculed, "Will the old men on the Golden Tripod Award jury feel that the love in "A Chinese Ghost Story" does not match their values, thinking that female ghosts should be extremely ugly and should be killed, and scholars must be deceived and killed?" Death, or after knowing that the other party is a female ghost, you should leave decisively!

These old men may belittle this movie because of their disgust and hatred for the beautiful love in "A Chinese Ghost Story".Otherwise, audiences all over the country and in Asia like a movie with a box office of nearly [-] billion, so why don't you like it? "

When there were more and more reports and things got worse and worse, Rong Shao, Ning Tong and the others took the initiative to complain to Ning Cheng in media interviews, thinking that the quality of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was enough to win the Golden Tripod Award for Best Director and Best The nomination of the best film, and the jury's prejudice against "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a very bad obstacle to the development of Huaxia's film——
After going on like this for a week, the jury finally couldn't sit still, and made a response on the official website, "Our evaluation of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is the same as other movies. We have also discussed many times about the things that people have reported. The final result is that "A Chinese Ghost Story" may have the strength to be nominated, but since there are too many works in this year's Golden Tripod Awards, it is regrettable that it is left behind. Yuan, although it is a pity, any awards ceremony cannot satisfy everyone. As the judges, we just try our best to ensure the greatest fairness. I hope that filmmakers who have confidence in themselves will put more thought Focus on the film itself, not on hype and entertainment! The jury will stick to its own selection criteria in the future, do its best, and make due contributions to Huaxia Film! Thank you everyone!"

This response can be said to be admirable. The judging committee's old guys can't do anything else. The art of speaking is quite slippery. In their words, they seem to admit that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is eligible to be nominated, but It also seems to say that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was rejected because it was inferior to other movies of the same period. At the end, it warned everyone to reduce hype and do more serious work. If you have the ability, bring your own work Come run, let's endorse it, not blah blah blah blah in the media.

Therefore, Ning Sheng also updated the news on Weibo, which is the final finishing touch on this matter!
"Human beings seem to be born to fight, but sometimes we are forced to resist. We have to fight, not for anything else, but for the justice and correctness in our hearts! I have always liked movies, I am very serious, and I am in awe, so , let us work hard together for a better work in the next step, I believe that right and wrong, everyone has a heart, whether it is good or not, time is testing, let's see it together!"

Afterwards, Ning Cheng personally called Rong Shao and the others to express his thanks for everyone's support!

Then after Xinxin started school, Ning Sheng brought his crew and officially started the filming of "Life Boxing" (Million Dollar Baby)!

The first stop of "Life Boxing" is not in any film and television base, but in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

A boxing gym has been set up by the staff here, and all the shots in the boxing gym will be shot here!

"Clear the field and clear the field, all irrelevant personnel will clear the field, move quickly!"

Ning Cheng stood on the boxing ring, holding a trumpet and yelling loudly. It was the beginning of March, and the weather was not warm. There was no heating in this abandoned warehouse, so everyone's movements were a little timid, which made Ning Cheng not satisfied.

Soon, the field was dealt with, the recorder reported the number of games, and the board was played. Ning Sheng gave an order, "Start!", and then sat behind the monitor to watch.

The heroine Wang Xiaochen in the shot is already in place, wearing a simple T-shirt that looks like a street vendor, and a pair of old deep purple pants, with her long hair tied behind her head, standing in front of sandbags, wearing fists, Random punches and attacks.

After three months of special training, Wang Xiaochen's body has become much stronger, and he looks like a person who often does heavy work.

"You're wasting your time, I told you, I don't train women!" A man's voice rang out angrily before entering the shot with a backside!
"I think you might change your mind!" the heroine Maggie played by Wang Xiaochen said with a smile.

Ning Cheng looked at Wang Xiaochen on the monitor, and suddenly shouted "Stop!", and everyone looked over in amazement.

"It's too dull, don't be nervous, I need your character to be vivid," Ning Cheng said as he looked at Wang Xiaocheng who was coming over.

Although I have met with Mr. Chen Daoming several times before, but for the first official shooting, Wang Xiaochen will inevitably be nervous, Mr. Chen also smiled and comforted her, and after a while she nodded and said, "Director, I'm done! "

Ning Cheng nodded and sat back down again.

After seeing the actors get back into position, Ning Sheng shouted "Start!"

"You're wasting your time, I told you I don't train women!"

"I think you might change your mind!" Wang Xiaochen said flatteringly with a panting smile on his face.

good!Ning Cheng nodded secretly, and didn't shout "stop" again. Although Wang Xiaochen seldom made movies, it was not the first time that he worked with Ning Cheng, especially with Ning Tong and the others. I have learned a lot of things seriously, especially this time I worked with Mr. Chen, and I was urged by my agent to call every few days to say hello, and then ask various questions. It was really hard work!

"There are plenty of people outside who are willing to train women, you can go to those coaches!" As the camera moved, the actor Dunn played by Teacher Chen also showed a positive image.A dark short-sleeved T-shirt, the hem of which was tucked into gray trousers, and short white hair, looked very tough, but gave people a rigid impression!

Wang Xiaochen smiled and refused, "I don't need so many bosses, I just want you to be my boss!"

Chen Daoming said, "Don't call me boss, I'm not your boss, don't call me that anymore!"

This is when the camera turns to the side. Liu Peiqi plays Chen Daoming's friend Kaipu. He watches the conversation between the two over there and slowly walks down the stairs.

"Ka, it's over!"

Ning Cheng shouted, this first scene is over.

"Well done."

He praised Wang Xiaochen a bit, and it could be seen that this girl did not waste the three-month preparation period, she understood the role very well!

Immediately afterwards, he shouted again: "Everyone is here to move the machine, hurry up, hurry up!"

Seeing everyone shy away, Ning Cheng was also very speechless, but as everyone worked, his body warmed up, and then he felt much better!
The group performers took advantage of this time to rush to put on their clothes, regardless of whether they had to take them off after a while—the temperature in the imperial capital rose very slowly this year, and it wasn't even ten degrees tonight, yet they still had to wear spring clothes. will be cold.

Among them, Wang Xiaochen was the most exaggerated. She raced to the side to wrap her coat and warmed herself with a baby warmer. Although she looked strong, there was nothing she could do.

Chicken legs, twice-cooked pork, scrambled eggs with leeks, sliced ​​celery meat, and fragrant white rice, this is Ning Sheng's lunch.

He pawed at the rice vigorously and ate it quickly, it looked delicious.

Wang Xiaochen next to him looked at it, and couldn't bear to look directly at it, lamenting that the image of the male god was completely ruined-in fact, it wasn't just this time, every time she looked at this talented director while eating, she had a feeling that this guy was an African refugee a feeling of.

However, what she didn't know was that this was already very good. Ning Sheng used to eat more ferociously on the set, not for any other reason, but simply for the things he likes to eat, he eats faster!
Wang Xiaochen casually picked up the vegetables in the lunch box, took a bite out of a piece of celery, chewed and swallowed it slowly, looked at Ning Cheng, and hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, isn't the food delicious?"

Although Ning Cheng was eating, he kept his eyes peeled, and immediately noticed something was wrong with Wang Xiaochen.

Wang Xiaochen opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and picked the food in the lunch box twice, and finally raised his head and opened his eyes to look around, as if he was looking for something.

Now they are still in the abandoned warehouse. In fact, they have been here for a long time. They just finished filming part of it. After lunch, they have to finish filming the rest of today’s scenes quickly.

"Just say what you have."

Ning Cheng stopped eating, stopped his chopsticks and said so.

In order for the actors to perform at their best, director Ning Sheng sometimes needs to act as a temporary mediator.

"There is a problem with the menu, don't you like it? How about ordering a few more for you?"

"It's not about the food!"

Wang Xiaochen's eyes scanned around nimbly, as if he didn't notice any danger, then he lowered his head and whispered, "Director Ning, haven't you noticed that something is wrong with Mr. Chen Daoming recently?"

"Not right?"

Ning Cheng was taken aback for a moment, tried hard to think about it, and said hesitantly, "It seems—is there anything wrong?"

Indeed it is.

Among the actors in the crew, there are only two actors who let him worry the most, one is teacher Chen Daoming, and the other is the supporting actor Liu Peiqi. These two actors are veteran actors with superb acting skills and basically don't need much guidance. .

"Didn't Teacher Chen perform well? What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaochen looked hesitant to speak again, but he still didn't say anything, just said "It's nothing, I probably thought too much", then lowered his head and started to eat vigorously.

"Something's wrong." Assistant director Lao Wu's voice sounded.

Ning Cheng turned his head and saw that this guy came over with a box of lunch at some point.

Ning Cheng's expression finally became serious.

"What's wrong?"

If it's his assistant director who can see that the actor's mood is not right, then it's a big problem.

Old Wu shook his head, smiled, with a mysterious look, and said, "Hey, when you invited Mr. Chen to film, didn't you hear about him?" Then he took a bite of the chicken leg.

Ning Sheng wondered, "Mr. Chen, what's the matter? It's very strict and serious when filming. Is there any problem?"

Old Wu shook his head and said, "It's not a bad question, I'll just ask you, do you ask Mr. Chen to help you see how the shot is, and ask him to give his opinion?"

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "Yeah, I had nothing to do the last two nights, so I asked Mr. Chen to give me some advice. You know, this is an award-winning film, so of course I have to be more serious. I would like to ask an actor like Mr. Chen to give me some advice. Any questions?"

Old Wu smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. Anyway, I guess it will be just a few days. Teacher Chen will definitely talk to you, and you will know when the time comes!"

Ning Sheng said, "Can't you tell me now? You are the assistant director. If something affects Mr. Chen's work status, let me see how I deal with you!"

After hearing this, Old Wu laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen's working status is absolutely fine, on the contrary, the older you get, the better!"

Ning Cheng was even more surprised when he heard this, but no matter how he asked, Lao Wu just didn't say anything, and Wang Xiaochen acted like you would know it yourself, even if he didn't say it, Ning Cheng was speechless. What's going on here!
Fortunately, the lunch time passed quickly, and the filming resumed. Ning Cheng focused on Mr. Chen, but after watching it all afternoon, he didn't find any problems. Yes, the more Mr. Chen shoots, the better!
