Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Acheng, look at the nominations for the Academy Awards. Our film "Nightclub" has received four nominations." Lin Yongqi waved the newspaper in his hand and walked to the front of Mucheng with excitement.  It¡¯s already March 1986. The Academy Awards usually start in April, so it¡¯s relatively late for the nominations to come out now.  Mucheng took over the newspaper. This was the latest issue of the film biweekly. There was a huge headline: "Nominations for the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards" Best Film Nominations: ("Woman's Heart", "Illegal Immigration"  ", "Mr. Zombie", "Police Story") Best Director Nominations: (Kwan Kam-peng "Woman's Heart", Zhang Wanting "Illegal Immigration", Sammo Hung "Heart of the Dragon", Liu Guanwei "Mr. Zombie", Jackie Chan "Police Story") Watch  At this point, it becomes clear to Makujo that the four nominations are all minor ones.  Although "Mr. Zombie" and "Police Story" were both scripts written by Makaki, and both were on the list, these two important awards have nothing to do with him.  Mu Cheng shook his head slightly and continued to look down. Mu Cheng saw his name, Su Mu Cheng's "Mr. Zombie", which was nominated for Best Screenplay.  Further down, I finally saw the nominations for my movie "Nightclub". "Best Actor, Best Newcomer, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing are exactly the four nominations Lin Yongqi mentioned." See the most  Best photography and best editing, Mu Cheng nodded in understanding.  Makiro was surprised that Zhou Huimin was nominated for Best Newcomer, and Yam Dahua was also nominated for Best Actor, which is quite rare.  Mu Cheng thought about it carefully, and then looked again at the other nominations for these two awards.  Shaking his head helplessly, there is no chance, these two awards are basically soy sauce.  Not to mention Zhou Huimin for Best Newcomer, it would be impossible for Ren Dahua to be nominated for Best Actor alone.  It's not that he didn't perform well, but the competition was too strong. Besides, comedy movies like "Nightclub" basically don't expect to win any good awards.  After watching it all, although I was a little disappointed, Makaki can understand it. After all, "Nightclub" is purely a comedy, and it is already very good to have these few nominations.  You said that since the box office is so good, there should be more awards. Forget it. The Academy Awards are not held based on the box office. Otherwise, Wang Jing's "The Hardcover Chasing Girls" should also have a lot of nominations.  Yes, the box office performance of this drama was not bad compared to last year. However, after reading through the whole story of Makujo, I only saw one nomination for Best Art Director, "Fantasy Girl", and nothing else.  There is a saying that says, "If you want good box office, don't have too high expectations for awards. Similarly, if you want to win awards, don't have high expectations for box office." Although it is a bit one-sided, it is relatively certain.  Under the circumstances, it is still very consistent.  For example, "Nightclub" and "Fantasy" were among the top ten at the box office last year, and "Nightclub" was the box office champion. However, these two films can be said to be commercial films with no hope of winning awards.  Look at Zhang Wan Ting's "Illegal Immigration" which did not have a very high box office, but it was a standard literary film with a good meaning and good shooting. Although it only had three nominations, it was nominated for Best Film and Best Director.  All three categories of Best Screenplay were won.  There are also crazy ones, such as Baohe's "Mr. Zombie". Makuchi counted it carefully and found that it actually had 11 nominations, which was the most among all the film nominations at this year's Academy Awards.  For example, Cheng Long's "Police Story" has 7 nominations, and director Guan Jingpeng's "Woman's Heart" has 9 nominations. There are also many other movies with good nominations, but none of them have more than ten nominations.  But there is no way of knowing who will win the prize in the end and who will win how many awards.  There seem to be fifteen awards in the Academy Awards, but basically only one can win in each award. However, in the face of so many nominations, it is just a situation where there is more than enough.  Of course, if a movie has more nominations, the probability of winning will be higher. It¡¯s not like there are a dozen nominations but none of them won, which would be speechless.  Lin Yongqi sat on the chair and kept paying attention. The expression on Mu Cheng's face changed. Seeing him shaking his head and nodding, he couldn't help but be puzzled.  What does this guy mean? Is he happy or unhappy?  After reading the whole article, Mu Cheng put down the newspaper, nodded to Lin Yongqi who was staring at him and said: "It's okay. It's good to have a nomination. Our focus is this year, and the next Academy Awards is our big one."  "When you show off your skills." Perhaps it was because he felt the calmness and calmness of Makucheng. After hearing Mucheng's words, Lin Yongqi lost the excitement he had before. Thinking about it, it was indeed the same. Last year, the company only released one movie, and this year  That's the key point. I believe that next year's Academy Awards will be the moment for brilliant competition.    Although there is no excitement, this is good news for the company after all. Being nominated is an honor, and related congratulations are still indispensable. After chatting with Makuro about the next work arrangements, Lin Yongqi  I went back to make preparations for the real celebration after winning the award.  As soon as Lin Yongqi left, Mu Cheng's phone rang. It was Hong Jinbao who called to say thank you. The script of "Mr. Zombie" was written by Mu Cheng and was given to him as a free gift. Now it has received so many nominations.  Naturally, I will not forget the great hero of Makujo.  Regarding the exaggerated 11 nominations for "Mr. Zombie", Makuro felt a little bit when I watched it. It is estimated that not many will win in the end. At least those few important awards are unlikely to get its turn. The remaining ones  Relatively speaking, the nomination is much lighter.  Of course, Makaki would not be stupid enough to say this out loud, and he still congratulated with a smile on his face.  The two chatted for a long time, and finally they agreed to get together when they had time and then hung up the phone.  The phone rang again within two minutes of putting it down. Makuro rubbed his ears and picked it up again.  "Hello, I'm Su Mucheng." "Acheng, I'm Cheng Long." Cheng Long's hearty voice came from the phone.  Cheng Long also called to thank Makuro. When Makuro told him about the script, he felt that the story was very suitable for him. After the final filming and release, the effect was indeed great.  The box office revenue was more than 26 million in Hong Kong alone, not counting other regions, but it made Cheng Long and Jiahe extremely happy.  The success of this movie also allowed Cheng Long to see new ideas and directions, and he was naturally very grateful to Mucheng.  "It's Brother Long! I was about to call you to congratulate you, but I called you first without thinking about you. It's a shame." Makuro said humbly.  "You kid, I'm not shabby. Don't forget that you wrote the script, and you have the greatest credit." Cheng Long was in a good mood, and he was joking with Mu Cheng happily.  "Brother Long, you are wrong. Although I wrote the script, without your wonderful performance and filming, there would be no such good results. This drama is all supported by you, Brother Long. What about me?  It¡¯s just a small effort, and I can¡¯t bear it if you say so.¡± Mu Cheng didn¡¯t dare to take the credit. The success of this drama really depends on Cheng Long¡¯s popularity, and his desperate attitude.  Only if the performance is similar will it be successful.  For another person, who would dare to do those high-risk actions so desperately? There are few people in Hong Kong and the world who are so desperate.  "Okay, I won't say any more. Brother Long has kept your love in mind. If you have any difficulties in the future, remember to come to me. I will help you if you can." Listening to Mu Cheng's sincere words on the phone  , Cheng Long touched his lower back unintentionally and said to Mu Cheng sincerely.  In order to film this movie well and perform those thrilling actions, Cheng Long was covered in injuries. The most serious one was when he fell from a high altitude, causing the 6-8 vertebrae and pelvis to be displaced. He was sent to hospital on the spot.  Arrived at the hospital.  All in all, he has indeed put in a lot. When they cheered when they saw Cheng Long's dangerous, exciting and difficult moves in the movie, how many people could think that these were all done by Cheng Long with his life.  "Thank you, Brother Long. I'll need Brother Long's help in the future." Mu Cheng replied to Cheng Long with a smile, but then he thought of Cheng Long's desperate pause and said, "By the way, Brother Long, I  I don't know whether to say something or not." Cheng Long also heard Mu Cheng's hesitation, and couldn't help but feel confused, and said with a smile: "If there is anything you shouldn't say, you have already said it." "In fact, you just said it.  As soon as he said it, Makaki regretted it, but since it had already begun, he might as well just say it, lest he would think of other bad things that would be even worse.  "I actually want to say that I hope Brother Long will pay more attention to safety protection when filming in the future and don't go too hard. After all, you are not a robot. If you are always injured, your body will not be able to bear it." Cheng Long also heard it.  With concern in Makuro's words, he nodded and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I know all this, I have a few lives." But only God knows whether he really listened to it.  Hearing Cheng Long's nonchalant attitude, Mu Cheng didn't say much about it.  Then we chatted with him on the phone for a while. In the end, Cheng Long revealed that he hoped to cooperate with Makiro again. Makuro did not refuse directly, but said that he would wait until he was free, probably during the summer vacation.  Only then will I have time to work on new scripts and collaborations.  What Cheng Long wants is for the other party to agree. The injuries on his body have not healed yet, at least it will take some time.  Now even if I give him the script, he can't film it.  Actually, Makuchi really wants to collaborate with Cheng Long, but that will have to wait until he is finished with this drama.
