superstar director

Chapter 631 Nomination Night

Because of "Life Boxing", Wang Xiaochen put his career on the fast track, entered a period of rapid growth, and took a solid step towards the goal of an international superstar, and was envied by countless domestic stars!

As the most likely first heroine of "Life Boxing", Di Liba, but with the decline in word-of-mouth of "Emissary to Tang Dynasty", the box office performance was not satisfactory, and her career also fell into a trough.This will not only enter the RB market, but the status in the country cannot be guaranteed.

Coupled with the cynicism of many unscrupulous media, Di Liba's mental pressure increased greatly. In the end, her company had to suspend all her work and send her abroad for training!
"Life Boxing" quietly withdrew from major theaters following the successive releases of blockbuster films for the Lunar New Year.In December, the total global box office calculated by the studio reached 46 billion Chinese dollars.

Many people in the industry looked at each other in blank dismay at this result, and had nothing to say!Is this what Ning Sheng said about not having expectations for the box office?

If this f***ing director had achieved the achievements of any other director, there would have been a celebration banquet long ago, and the celebration would be full of glory!

However, for Ning Sheng, especially last year's "A Chinese Ghost Story" which approached tens of billions of crazy data, this time, the box office is less than 50 billion, it seems that there is really nothing worthy of a big prize.

Of course, some media and netizens who hate Ning Sheng on a daily basis will naturally talk about Ning Sheng's avoidance of various blockbuster movies in the Lunar New Year, but few people really take it seriously!

For Wang Xiaochen, the heroine, these days are either busy with new endorsement activities, or she is rumored to be involved with big directors or big productions, and she has finished filming a TV series that has not been aired before, and she is also taking advantage of it. With Wang Xiaochen on fire, he sold it for a sky-high price!It's quite a bit like one person attaining Taoism and ascending to heaven!
As for the director Ning Sheng, he took the children to school every day, had dinner at night, watched Xinxin finish her homework, then watched cartoons with the little girl, and finally read the little girl a bedtime story, watched the little girl Fall asleep sweetly.

Ning Sheng's life was peaceful. In order to avoid reporters, he didn't go out for almost a whole day except to pick up and drop off his children. Therefore, as the Lunar New Year battle became more intense, Ning Sheng and his "Life Boxing" disappeared in the media news !
But this peace is destined not to last long. When the New Year just passed, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year just passed, and everyone was still enjoying the holiday at home, No.60 Nomination night for the [-]rd China Film Golden Tripod Awards came unknowingly!
The soft light from the chandelier renders the living room warm. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the left is the dark night. The windows are closed to prevent the cold wind. If you put your hands on them, you can feel the cold temperature outside—the imperial capital at the end of February It's still cold winter, and occasionally it can reach minus [-] degrees at night. If you encounter a little wind when you go out, you can definitely experience what it means to be cold and windy!
Different from the hurting cold outside, the air in the living room is warm, and the whole villa is covered with floor heating. People can feel no chill inside. Xinxin will wear her own deer pajamas, and come to play with Hong My brother is having fun running around and playing!
Ning Cheng sat on the sofa, with a smile on his face, looking at the woman next to him.

Standing in front of him was Emma who came back from the United States to spend the New Year with her family. At this moment, she was wearing a Taoist robe, and there were several jade Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and crosses hanging around her neck. At this moment, she was He spoke endlessly to Ding Xuan and Britney Spears who were sitting on the sofa on the right, "--this robe was bought from a high-ranking person in the United States for a thousand dollars, and this cross was bought by me from the Vatican. Found——these things bring good luck, I think, Ning Sheng will definitely be able to get blessings from these treasures, and then win the best director trophy at this year's Golden Tripod Awards—"

Ning Cheng looked at Ding Xuan and Britney again.

Ding Xuan was sitting with a smile on her face, while Britney was holding the child in her arms, and then she and her husband also looked at Emma with a smile.This is their second child, a daughter who is just two years old. She was taken care of by Britney's parents before, and this year she brought her back to Ding Xuan's parents to take care of her.

Ning Sheng interrupted Emma's speech, "What year is this? It's not like this anymore."

Emma glanced back at him and said, "Okay, then let's not talk about this, let's talk about the facts. The media has been talking about it these days, saying that you have a great chance to be nominated for the best director."

Ning Sheng was noncommittal about this.

It is now February 2th, and just tonight, the nomination list for this year's Golden Tripod Awards will be announced soon.

This year's Golden Tripod Award nomination list has been the focus of heated discussions in the media these days: which film is expected to be the best film, and which director is expected to be nominated for the best director.Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui, and Chen Daoming, who can win the Best Actor award at this year's Golden Tripod Awards.Zhang Manyu, after Lin Qingxia's battle for the best actress last time, will there be another battle this year--and in these overwhelming reports, the name "Ning Sheng" is repeated mentioned.

"Life Boxing", a movie that has been forgotten for less than a month, has been repeatedly mentioned by the media again.Some people think that it is very likely to win the best picture of today's Golden Tripod Awards.At least one nomination is required.Some people think that let alone winning the best picture, even if it is nominated, the organizing committee will not give it.

Those who support the nomination of "Life Boxing" believe that "Life Boxing" is a rare artistic and commercial film with profound content.The meaning is profound, and the actors in it play very well, there is really no reason not to nominate it.Those who opposed it believed that this film is completely about a lonely old man and a foolish and bold woman's ambiguous love scene, and it has no qualifications worthy of nomination at all!
Of the two, although there are more people who support Ning Sheng, there are also quite a few people who oppose it, especially some old-school filmmakers and film critics, who think that the last time Ning Sheng blatantly incited a large number of stars to fight against the Golden Tripod Awards, the organizers He shouldn't have been awarded an award.

Neither of the two can convince the other, and even the best director of Ning Sheng, the director, is divided into two factions like the best picture guess.

Some people think that Ning Sheng has clearly told people with "Life Boxing" that he has the ability to win this award, but some people think that he is just a commercial director, not an artistic director who can reach the level of best director.

In particular, if Ning Sheng's film, which had stated from the beginning that it was going for awards, really won awards in the end, it would undoubtedly be a very loud slap in the face for the jury!

"Brother, what do you think?"

Ning Cheng heard the voice, looked over, and saw Ning Tong who was lying on the sofa and eating fruit, looking at him.And sitting beside her are her good girlfriends, Shishi and Yingbao!

The nominations for the Golden Tripod Awards were announced today. Not only did Ning Tong come by herself, but she also took two girlfriends to watch the nomination ceremony together.

"There should be nominations, but it's hard to say what kind of nominations,"

Ning Cheng said it without thinking.

He has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, and he has his own thoughts, "There is little hope for the best director, and there may be hope for the best picture. At least one of the best actors and actresses should be nominated."

This is the result of his thinking these days.

Emma was jumping up and down in front of him, with her hands still open and shaking, she kept asking, "Why? Why?"

Ning Cheng coughed dryly, grabbed her hand, pulled her over, and sat down next to him, but Emma was not reconciled. Recently, she was extremely excited about whether Ning Sheng could be nominated and won an award. Struggling, he finally held her tightly with one hand so that she couldn't move around, and then said: "The Golden Tripod Awards set the rules of the game, so they themselves have to abide by these rules first, otherwise, what prestige do they have?" Can it be said? So I don’t believe the media’s claim that the Golden Tripod Awards will deliberately not nominate me. However, the organizing committee must also see me as very unhappy, so even if they want to nominate me, I don’t believe it. There will be some balance, and there are many strong competitors this year, among which Wang Jiawei's "2046" is a very strong opponent."

Although Sunglass King's efficiency has always been appallingly low, it's normal not to win the Golden Tripod Award for a few years. Once he catches up, he is always a big hit, but this year he caught up with him. It was a coincidence to confront him head-on.

"So, considering all these factors, I'll guess half and half, half and half for major items, not to mention small items, none of them is the best."

Unpopular awards such as the Golden Tripod Award, such as the best clothing, have always been consolation prizes, and they are also used as a means of balancing. Often, those who win awards on these unpopular awards have no hope for popular awards. , so Ning Sheng hoped that his films would not win any of these small categories, so that his chances of winning awards in major categories would be higher.

Several people were talking and chatting, and the nomination ceremony on TV finally started.

This year's announcer is a newcomer, a girl who has just entered the film industry by starring in Feng Xiaogang's new film "Feng Hua" during the Lunar New Year holiday. Her name is Zhong Chuxi!

The nomination ceremony of the Golden Tripod Awards is very concise, and there are no advertisements in the middle, which is also praised by people.After the opening speech, Zhong Chuxi immediately announced the nomination list.

"--The nominees for Best Editing are, "2046", Zhang Shuping--"

From the very beginning, it was the opening of this year's hottest "2046", which made Ning Sheng raise his eyebrows: Is this good news or bad news for "2046"?

Following Zhong Chuxi's words, a close-up of Zhang Shuping and a short introduction flashed on the screen on his left.

"—"Life Boxing", Ning Sheng—"

Ning Cheng raised his brows again, his eyes startled.Really caught off guard, it came so soon?

Emma in his arms writhed all of a sudden, and exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes!" as if she was pregnant again.

And Britney, Ding Xuan, and Ning Tong were all equally happy. Xinxin and Ding Hongzheng were having a good time. Hearing the cheers from the adults here, they turned their heads and looked together, but they didn't find out what was going on with them. So happy, I went back to continue playing!
Ning Cheng watched the TV silently, shook his head for a long while.

Now I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, and the ending will become more and more difficult to guess.

It was nominated for Best Editing at the beginning, but the next major project seems to be a bit worrying. I don’t know whether the organizing committee really thinks this nomination should be given or whether it intends to use this nomination to prevaricate "Life Boxing".

But with "2046" by his side, Ning Cheng was not too flustered, and Zhong Chuxi on the TV kept reporting.

"—"Lost Orphan", Han Zhenyu——"

After Zhong Chuxi finished announcing an award, he invited another announcer, Deng Chao, to announce the nominations for the next best art director award.

"--The nominees for the best art direction are, "2046", Zhang Shuping, Qiu Weiming--"

"Hoo—" Ning Cheng was slightly surprised when he saw this.

There were two nominations in a row at the beginning. Looking at the battle, "2046" is going to extremes.

What about "Life Boxing"?Ning Sheng stared at the TV intently.

"—"House of Flying Daggers", Huo Tingxiao, "Peach", Feng Sanmin——"

Fortunately, there is no name of "Life Boxing" after all the reports.

Ning Cheng looked at the people around him: Emma was being held in his arms, obediently motionless, staring at the TV, Britney looked down at the child, Ding Xuan was drinking tea from a cup, turning his head and talking to Bran Annie said something.And Ning Tong was winking at him when he saw him looking over, it was so funny!

He turned his gaze back to the TV, only to see that after Deng Chao announced the nominations for the best art director, Zhong Chuxi took over the conversation and started announcing the next nomination.

"——The nominees for the best visual effects of the year are Huo Tingxiao, "House of Daggers". Cai Jizhan, "Shaolin Soccer"——"

“——NOMINATED BEST RECORDING——”

With the passing of a small project.Now it's time to give out the awards for best cinematography, and "2046" has once again been nominated.

"--"2046", Du Kefeng, Li Yaohui, Guan Benliang--"

So far, "2046" has received three nominations and is currently the biggest winner!And Ning Sheng's "Life Boxing" won another nomination for best film soundtrack, followed by two nominations.

This has not yet entered the main drama, and it has won three nominations, which also makes people sweat for "2046" - no matter how you look at it, it will end in heaven and hell one step at a time.

Fortunately, "Life Boxing" has one less item than "2046", which is not so conspicuous.

Ning Sheng thought so, but he knew right away that the organizing committee hadn't forgotten him.

"—"Life Boxing", Zhou Huaijun——"

"yeah!"

In front of Ning Cheng, Emma stretched out a fist and kept shaking it in front of him. This person's body was also twisting in his arms, and he was humming a song. Obviously he was in a good mood and very proud of himself. .

Ning Cheng smiled wryly.

Although he is very happy that Zhou Huaijun of the crew has received this nomination for best photography, which can bring the career of this photographer who has cooperated with several films to a new level, but at the same time, he has also stood at the same level as Wang Jiawei. In the position of "2046", Wang Jiawei's "[-]" has three nominations, and his own "Life Boxing" also has three nominations.

He seems to be standing on a cliff with one step to heaven and one step to hell.

But he soon ran out of time to worry about the problem.
