Chapter 125
The No.40 three Golden Horse Awards officially kicked off after the two hosts Cai Yongkang and Patty Hou rode on the stage on tall horses.

The two rode horses and circled on the small stage, introducing the achievements of the Golden Horse Awards and Chinese filmmakers in recent years...

People like Xiao Jian who have been nominated are actually very impatient with the host talking on stage.

"Brother, do you think I have a chance to win the Best Actress?"

Zhou Dongyu really skipped the best newcomer, and really refers to the best actress.She took it for granted in her heart, having won the international awards, it would be a no-brainer to win the Best Actress in a small award like the Golden Horse.

"The most important thing is to participate, don't take it too seriously, I think you have a good chance, Brother Bo."

This year's Golden Horse Awards include the super powerful heroine Siqin Gaowa of "Aunt's Post-Modern Life", the powerful heroine Zhou Xun of "If Love", and five nominations for the Golden Horse Best Actress. Carina Lau, the heroine of "Curiosity Killed the Cat", they all surpassed the little girl Zhou Dongyu in terms of popularity and acting skills. The chances of her winning the best actress are pitifully small.

But Huang Bo is different. His performance in "Very Father and Daughter Files" can be described as amazing, from a frivolous playboy to a loving father who loves his daughter crazy, to the end of the film, a glance and a movement inadvertently can make people move Biao Lei's wonderful performance is impossible to fault.

Apart from Guo Fucheng, who was nominated as the leading actor in "Father and Son", his opponents are not too strong.

And Guo Fucheng won the best actor in the movie "Sanchakou" in the last year, and the Golden Horse Awards has not even had the record of actor Zhuang. After calculation, Xiao Jian thinks that Huang Bo's probability is higher.

Huang Bo, who was sitting next to him, heard Xiao Jian's words, rubbed his hands nervously, and said involuntarily: "It doesn't matter whether you win the award or not, the important thing is to participate."

The two gave him a contemptuous look.

Soon Huang Bo took the stage to accept the award, but it was not the best actor award, but Ning Hao who was busy filming in Xiamen and had no time to be there to accept the best original screenplay award.Although it is only a small prize, it is also very good to be able to win first.

Huang Bo, who had great expectations for the Best Actor, seemed a little nervous on stage, and gave Ning Hao his acceptance speech in a rare and serious manner.

After a few speeches, Huang Bo stepped off the stage holding the trophy.

Next came a few small technical awards. After the performances of a few guests, it was the turn to present the best new actor award.

Zhou Dongyu held Xiao Jian's hand nervously, Xiao Jian asked: "Have you already got it once, why are you still nervous?"

"Of course I'm nervous, this is my brother's first personal championship."

Xiao Jian was depressed, this girl was nervous for herself, she seemed to be nominated for the best newcomer in "Crazy Stone", and she was always thinking about the best director and best actor, but he still had the best The best newcomer and best supporting actor nominations were ignored.

Xiao Jian's acting skills in Shitou are very good, but Shitou is a comedy film after all, and the judges of the Golden Horse Awards have always been conservative and backward, so the chances of a comedy film winning the award are very small, can I win the award?
Although the chance is not great, Mr. Xiao Jian still has a little expectation.

The result was not too unexpected. The winner was Zhou Dongyu, the heroine of "Youth Sprouts", which is very popular among young people in Taiwan.

Although it was a bit regretful that Xiao Jian failed to win the award, under the comfort of Xiao Jian, "I am a director and you are an actor, it doesn't matter if I have to win this award. You will help you even more in the future", and happily went on stage to accept the award went.

Immediately afterwards, the best supporting actress unexpectedly fell on Mo Wenwei's "Extraordinary Father and Daughter File". "Unexpected" does not mean that she did not perform well, but because of "Aunt's Empress". Zhao Wei, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in "Modern Life", seems to have a higher voice.

Zhao Wei didn't come, did she already know that she didn't win the award?Xiao Jian couldn't help thinking maliciously.

Stand up and give Mo Wenwei a warm hug.

Mo Wenwei received the trophy from the award presenter with some excitement.

"I'm very excited. I didn't expect that I would be able to stand on the Golden Horse podium. I would like to thank all the members of the father-daughter team, the director Xiao Jian, and Xiao Jian... for his piano skills. Let me make up my mind to act in the excellent film "Father and Daughter File" and get this award, thank you."

At the same time as there was warm applause from the audience, the camera was shown on Xiao Jian at the right time, and Xiao Jian waved his hand with a smile.

From the best original script, to the latest best actor and then to the best supporting actress, the seats where Xiao Jian and the others are sitting are the ones with the highest exposure rate since the opening, which can be said to be in the limelight.

Xiao Jian had two nominations for Best Supporting Actor, and Xiao Jian, who expected to have a better chance of winning the award, was disappointed again. The trophy was won by Wu Jingtao, a young actor who played the son in "Father and Son" .Refreshing the record for the youngest actor to win the Golden Horse Award.

The last four heavyweight awards, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Picture, and Xiao Jian were all nominated, but none of them were awarded in the end.

Best Actress was won by Zhou Xun for "If Love", while the best actor was won by Guo Fucheng, the least likely. The best director belonged to Chen Kexin, the director of "If Love", and the best film was "Father". "Female", the four ultimate prizes were divided between "Father and Son" and "If Love".

Xiao Jian, Huang Bo, and Zhou Dongyu suddenly changed from the most proud person to someone else's companion, and one can imagine the sense of loss in their hearts.

"Xiao Jian, you didn't win the Golden Horse Awards this time, what do you think?"

As soon as they walked out of the venue, they were surrounded by a group of reporters.

No way, who made them so dazzling, received so many nominations, but received so few trophies, even Xiao Jian, who received four nominations, did not get any of them.The most important thing is that "Youth Sprout" won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and the best newcomer at the Golden Horse Film Festival, will Xiao Jian be reconciled?

I remember obviously wanting to get some breaking news from Xiao Jian, who is young and should be vigorous.

Although Xiao Jian was upset, he would not lose his mind, and replied with a smile: "I don't know where this reporter came to the conclusion that we have nothing to gain. The two awards of best newcomer and best female supporting role are still very good." .”

""Youth Sprout" won the Grand Prix in Venice, but this time it only won one Best Newcomer. Do you have anything to say about this? Don't you think the Golden Horse Awards are unfair?" The reporter was provoking Xiao Jian to get angry.

"Different regions, different judges, and naturally different evaluation criteria for movies, it is a happy thing to win an award."

"Judging from the box office and audience reputation, Asian audiences like Director Xiao's two films very much..."

Xiao Jian interrupted: "I am very grateful to the audience for their love for my films. I will continue to make more and better works to present to everyone in the future, thank you."

After speaking, he took Huang Bo and Zhou Dongyu and left.

"Brother, this Golden Horse Award is not fair at all." Zhou Dongyu said unfairly.

"There is nothing fair or unfair. Just treat it as a game. As an actor-director, if you perform your tricks well, make a good movie, the audience likes it, and it sells well at the box office. Don't pay too much attention to winning awards. Then It's someone else's toy."

Although he felt uncomfortable being played by others, Xiao Jian had to work hard to correct Zhou Dongyu's three views.

Afterwards, Xiao Jian discussed with Wang Zhonglei the investment in the movie "Dragon Teng", but nothing came of it.

Wang Zhonglei is really admiring Xiao Jian's talent and wants to invest in his films, but Xiao Jian actually wants to make a sci-fi film, and it costs 5000 million (due to Xiao Jian's high requirements for special effects, even reaching the The harsh situation has led to the continuous increase in the cost of special effects production, and more than half of the [-] million yuan has been spent).

Wang Zhonglei has been engaged in the film industry for more than ten years, and he is not familiar with the domestic film industry.

In China, you can make money by making comedy movies, making money by making costume blockbusters, and even making money by making modern war movies or fantasy movies. It’s just that this sci-fi movie doesn’t make a lot of money. billions of production costs.

Even if it can be filmed and it is done well, domestic audiences may not accept it. They will definitely compare it with Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters and be critical in every possible way.

Can domestic special effects compare to Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters?

In Wang Zhonglei's heart, the answer is obvious.

Wang Zhonglei said that Xiao Jian was dismissed.After no results, he said, "With such a large investment, I can't make up my mind by myself. I have to go back to the company to discuss with the major shareholders before I can give you an answer."

"Of course, it should."

Xiao Jian looked at Wang Zhonglei who came and left in a hurry and knew that this cooperation was useless.

He is really sincere in cooperating with Huayi. Although he has made a lot of money this year, the money earned by New Dimension Space and Baiyi Toys does not count. "Dragon Teng" earned more than 3000 million yuan in various royalties and licensing fees for peripheral products this year. The net profit he earned from the two films was 800 million yuan, and the two combined exceeded 3000 million yuan.

But he spent a lot of money this year due to his vigorous development.

It cost more than 3000 million to buy Zhanlan Special Effects and Aoman Studio, invested 2000 million in Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing", 1000 million in Han Xue's "Love", 700 million in Xu Zheng's "On the Journey", and founded Yunxiao Zhijian Films spent more than 1000 million yuan to purchase new equipment for Zhanlan special effects, and more than 3000 million yuan to recruit talents (thus, his shares in Zhanlan increased from 80.00% to 90.00%[-]).

This year, his expenses add up to more than 1000 million.

Even if he put all his net worth into it, the gap in "Dragon Teng" is still more than [-] million.

Successive failures made Xiao Jian not interested in visiting Taipei, so he flew back to BJ overnight with Zhou Dongyu.But Huang Bo will not be able to return to Xiamen until the next day.

The next day, reports such as "Golden Horse Awards Xiao Jian grain failed", ""Father and Daughter" lost to "Father and Son"" and other reports comparing father and daughter files with father and son appeared on the headlines of major media, and caused a lot of trouble. heated discussion.

This is of course someone's deliberate hype.

The reason why there is hype is because "Father and Son" will be released in China on the 30th.

Once upon a time, Xiao Jian and his movies became the targets of others to hype their popularity or box office?
Many viewers actually went to the cinema to watch "Father and Son" after reading the news. Many people exclaimed that they had been fooled.

It's not that the movie is not good, but who wants to watch these literary films about human nature after a day of exhaustion, and these films have too deep connotations?
