- Even if Zhou Wen moved the crew to Lantau Island, which is rarely visited by people, it could not stop the paparazzi in the entertainment industry. So after enjoying a rare two days of peace and quiet, the first group of reporters rushed to the crew and surrounded Zhou Wen with various suggestions. kind of problem.
"Director, you should know that there are so many costume films and dramas nowadays. I wonder what kind of mentality you are in. Putting aside the genres of action movies and hip-hop movies, you make a costume film that no one is interested in."
In the golden age of Hong Kong movies when action films, musicals, and comedies were overflowing, costume films have become history. Turning on the TV and playing costume dramas all day long, citizens who have been bombarded by TVB and ATV have now developed an aesthetic appreciation for costume films. Fatigue and immunity can be imagined.
Many people, like Xu Ke, have no idea why Zhou Wen would choose period films as his entry point after the success of the sequels to "The Fighter" and "Rivals". Isn't he afraid of box office failure?
"How should I put it? I like to challenge different types of themes. Of course, if you insist on understanding it as a personality, I have no objection. In short, I make movies based on personal preferences and will not follow conventions." Zhou Wen faced The reporter did not panic at all when asking questions, and read out the manuscript he had prepared long ago.
Reporters have long been aware of Zhou Wen's personality and his tendency to not follow conventional routines. It can be said that Zhou Wen is one of the most individual directors in the film industry. After creating a new genre, he immediately went to develop the next genre. , during the two years, we presented four major themes: actual combat, song and dance, heroes, and prison.
Now we are turning our guns around and picking up the forgotten costume films again. His courage cannot but be commended.
"According to the information we have so far, the costume film you are about to shoot is a remake of "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Li Hanxiang. Aren't you afraid of offending Director Li Hanxiang?" Another reporter asked.
Zhou Wen was puzzled when he heard this, and asked in astonishment: "I remake "A Chinese Ghost Story" to pay tribute to director Li Hanxiang, just like last year's remake of "A Better Tomorrow" to pay tribute to director Long Gang. Haha, I really can't think of anything to offend Li Hanxiang. director."
As soon as Zhou Wen finished speaking, the reporter group was in an uproar, and various comments came one after another.
"Zhou Wen is stupid, Li Hanxiang is the boss of the jury of the 6th Academy Awards. If he remakes the boss's famous classic, isn't it a slap in the face?"
"That is, both the media and the box office indicate that "A Better Tomorrow" completely beats Long Gang's version. Zhou Wen is provoking boss Li Hanxiang!"
"Haha, there is a good show going on. Zhou Wen calls out the judges of the Academy Awards. This is not a tribute, but it is clearly an offense!"
Li Hanxiang¡¯s status in Hong Kong and Taiwan films is beyond doubt. This is evident from his status as a judge of the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards. Moreover, Li Hanxiang also has a hobby. I like to adapt famous works, whether it is the romantic masterpiece "The Golden Ping Mei" or one of the four great classics "A Dream of Red Mansions". He has adapted them all, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" was directly taken from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Li Hanxiang's adaptation of the famous work has been well received in the industry and can be regarded as a masterpiece of painstaking efforts.
Zhou Wen just last year remade "A Better Tomorrow" directed by Long Gang with Xu Ke and Wu Yusen. Now he is targeting Li Hanxiang. Isn't this making him feel uncomfortable?
¡°Moreover, Zhou has shown his talents at the Academy Awards this time, and there is still a lot of controversy over the final ownership of several awards. At this time, calling the Li-sent jury made it clear that he is no longer here.
Zhou Wen pricked up his ears and listened to the various remarks of the reporters, while screaming in his heart: "I am inferior. I won't memorize it like this!"
Suddenly he remembered Huang Zhan's hesitant warning a few days ago. Could it be that his remake of "A Chinese Ghost Story" made the Li Pai jury unhappy, and thus led to the miscarriage of Zhong Chuhong's Best Actress crown?
If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s really a tragedy! Zhou Wen suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart, and his brows wrinkled, full of worries.
Zhong Chuhong naturally heard the reporters¡¯ gossip and noticed Zhou Wen¡¯s mood swings. Now she gently grabbed his hand, scratched her palm and whispered: "Awen, don't be distracted, don't let these things affect your mood."
Honggu¡¯s considerateness warmed Zhou Wen¡¯s heart. After nodding, he said: "Don't worry, I understand. It's just that if you lose the Best Actress due to my mistake, you'll always feel unhappy."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. It doesn't matter to me whether I win the Academy Award or not." Zhong Chuhong showed her charming dimples and comforted: "Our Zhou family has just started, you can't be too pretentious." There are so many distracting thoughts, first adjust your mentality when filming, and make the company bigger and stronger. As long as Zhou can become a big company like Jiahe, no one will dare to gossip."
Zhou Wen secretly screamed in shame, thisAt this moment, he was not as open-minded as Hong Gu.
"To put it another way, even if I don't win the Best Actress this time, there will be opportunities in the future. You can definitely make better works and let me win the Best Actress, right?"
"Ahong, thank you!" Feeling Zhong Chuhong's encouragement and encouragement, Zhou Wen's unhappiness was instantly wiped away, replaced by full of enthusiasm!
Just as Hong Gu said, even if he loses the Best Actress because he offended Li Hanxiang, he can still choose new scripts and new roles for Hong Gu to participate in the next Academy Award for Best Actress. One success or failure does not explain the problem. History There are many actors with profound acting skills who have never been nominated in their lifetime, but they cannot deny the audience's recognition of them!
"Damn it, next year I will tailor-make n dramas for Hong Gu. I will dominate the list of best actresses just like I dominate the best song list, and I will torture you judges to death, hahaha~"
Thinking of this, Zhou Wen felt very happy. As long as he makes Hong Gu happy, he can definitely do it. Isn't it crazy and individual? As long as my woman is happy, as for how the outside world will comment and the judges will have a headache, I'm too lazy to do that!
The chaos only lasted for a short while, and the media reporters did not continue to embarrass Zhou Wen. Anyway, they had already recorded the conversation between Zhou Wen and Hong Gu. After getting what they wanted, they entered the next step.
"I heard that Zhou purchased a large amount of film special effects equipment from the United States. Is there such a thing?"
Zhou Wen said energetically: "That's right. In "A Chinese Ghost Story", some special effects are needed to assist in the film to enhance the overall style of the film. By then, everyone will see many visually shocking pictures."
"Is it like the electronic music studio's "The Legend of Shushan" back then, where the whole story is full of special effects?"
"No, they are completely two concepts. If the whole film is made up of computer special effects, it is not a costume film, but a soft science fiction or fairy tale film. The computer special effects in this film only serve to render and enhance the picture, not It will overwhelm the audience and use gorgeous special effects as a selling point." Zhou Wen tried his best to explain his views on computer special effects without giving away any spoilers.
"It is said that Miss Zhang Manyu had a falling out with her agent because of the film, Mr. Zhou. Can you elaborate on this?"
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you and Zhang Manyu have an affair?"
"Someone broke the news that you and Wang Zuxian often stayed in the same room overnight when they were in Nepal."
If the previous questions were quite satisfactory, in the later stage, the reporters began to become unscrupulous and started to make trouble around Zhou Wen's personal life, leaving everyone speechless.
"Awen, I didn't know until today that you are so charming and suave, tsk tsk. You are indeed a role model for us to worship!"
After the press conference, Zhang Guorong and others teased Zhou Wen. The latter shrugged disapprovingly and said, "Just get used to it."
"Damn it, you said you were fat and you still breathed!" Zhang Guorong laughed and scolded: "Other people don't know, don't I know you? You are famous for being henpecked!"
Wang Zuxian, Liu Zhaoming, Wu Ma and others burst into laughter.
"This shouldn't be called henpecking, it should be called mutual respect." Liu Zhaoming saw that Zhou Wen was being teased so much that he came out to smooth things over.
"Sir Ming, don't look at Awen acting very authoritative in front of us. After returning home, he still has to serve Honggu carefully. Let's just talk about last time, we asked him to attend the premiere of "A Better Tomorrow" Li, but he said he wanted to go on a date with Hong Gu. If Hong Gu hadn¡¯t relented in the end, he probably wouldn¡¯t have dared to do so!¡±
¡°Perhaps it was because Zhou Wen was so miserable during the filming today that Zhang Guorong was addicted to teasing and took every opportunity to break the news. Zhou Wen was left dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
"Originally, after today's shooting mission is completed, everyone can return to Hong Kong Island to rest and adjust their mentality to participate in the Academy Awards ceremony the day after tomorrow. But now I have changed my mind!" Zhou Wen sat on the director's chair, crossing his legs leisurely. He said: "Brother Chu, where are the civet cats and cobras that I asked you to prepare? After dark, we will film the scene where Ning Caichen is attacked by wolves late at night and the hero fights the poisonous snake to save the beauty!"
"I didn't get the civets, but I heard there is a zoo on Phoenix Mountain. How about we borrow some real wolves for filming?"
"Well, there is nothing we can do if we can't catch the civets. Let's make do with real wolves for the time being. Remember to ask the zoo to feed the wolves, otherwise they will treat Mr. Rong as food!"
When he heard about civets and cobras, Zhang Guorong, who was originally joking, jumped up and said with a look of horror on his face: "No!"
"Want to have a wolf or a civet?" Zhou Wen joked.
"No, if possible, it's best to use a dog, and cobras are best props. I have been afraid of these animals since I was a child." Zhang Guorong showed his face.The fear is not fake.
"Awen, you are so bad!" How could Zhong Chuhong not see that Zhou Wen was causing trouble? After waiting for him, he comforted Zhang Guorong and said, "Young Master Rong, don't listen to their nonsense, they are teasing you!"
"Brother, Brother Wen and the others are trying to scare you. I saw them feeding dogs this afternoon. It's a dog, not a wolf. Don't worry!" Wang Zuxian was overflowing with sympathy to undermine Zhou Wen. He didn't give Zhou Wen face.
Zhou Wen glared and pretended to be angry: "Xiaoxian, you are betraying my director's rhythm. Aren't you afraid that this director will give you little shoes like he tortures his brother?"
"Brother Wen, I know you are a good person and will not embarrass Xiaoxian, right?" Wang Zuxian blinked his big watery eyes, his innocence and purity made Zhou Wen feel ashamed.
"What a good guy!" Zhou Wen said with a wry smile: "It's been a bad year. How did the great director get bullied by you? Damn it, the whole crew has finished work and returned to Hong Kong. The director is not happy today. Let's rest for a few days!"
Everyone burst into laughter again. They knew that Zhou Wen was not really angry, but was using a different directing style to adjust everyone's emotions. You can't see the intrigues between other crew members in this young group. It¡¯s just everyone¡¯s love for movies and their whole-hearted devotion to movies.
¡¡¡¡Dividing line¡¡¡¡
After the crew returned to Hong Kong Island, Zhou Wen announced a two-day break, because the day after tomorrow is the day when the Hong Kong Film Awards will be held. As the company with the most nominations, Zhou's company must all attend. Who can get the most nominations among Zhou's newcomers?
Rather than rushing back from Lantau Island, it is better for everyone to adjust their mental state to attend the award ceremony and give the outside world a calm and leisurely spirit.
So from the moment he got home, Zhou Wen was dragged by Zhong Chuhong to try on clothes. The clothes had been ordered earlier. Among them, Honggu had prepared two sets of evening dresses for attending the award ceremony. In order to match the atmosphere, Zhou Wen also had to wear two sets of formal suits. Today is different from the past. In previous years, Zhou was only nominated for the best action design. This year, he swept a circle of awards, so he must be particular about his clothes.
Zhou Wen doesn¡¯t pay much attention to what he wears, so the task of choosing clothes falls on Hong Gu.
"Awen, which one do you think looks better on me?" Zhong Chuhong held up two sets of clothing to ask for Zhou Wen's opinion.
"Actually, both sets are very good, but if you wear the one on the left, it will better reflect your temperament." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"Okay, just wear the suit on the left!" Zhong Chuhong went to the dressing room with satisfaction.
Zhou Wen picked up a copy of "Movie Biweekly" and flipped through it. All the reviews in these two issues of "Movie Biweekly" were nominated. From the editor's introduction at the beginning of the volume, it can be seen that this year's major awards at the Academy Awards are very competitive. Intensely, the release of "A Better Tomorrow" heralded the arrival of the era of hero films. Director Wu Yusen, who had always been unknown, became the favorite to compete for the best director with this film. After Chow Yun-fat narrowly lost to Dilong at the Golden Horse Awards, he again Will compete with Ogiryu at the Academy Awards.
Compared with the competition for best director and best actor, the ultimate ownership of the best actress has also become the focus of public attention. "Film Biweekly" devoted one-third of its space to introducing "The Favorite" and "Rivals 2" respectively. , making comparisons through film reviews, audience surveys, and first-round judges¡¯ suggestions.
¡°Both citizens and most people in the industry are generally optimistic about Zhong Chuhong. After many years of experience in the film industry, Honggu finally broke out with a good script. Moreover, she is a Golden Horse Best Actress. Winning the Academy Award for Best Actress is the icing on the cake.
However, some film critics prefer Zhang Aijia. They believe that Zhang Aijia's third party identity entangled between her best friend and her lover in "The Favorite" is extremely entangled. In addition, she wrote, directed and acted. In terms of the depth of the film and the acting of the character, Relatively plump.
The support rates of both parties are evenly divided, and no one knows the result until the last moment of the award ceremony.
"It's a very even situation~" Zhou Wen thought to himself.
Just then, the phone in the living room rang¡ª¡ª
