    Wan Xiaohu and Zhou Xun spent the National Day in 2000 together.  The next day, after eating breakfast cooked by Zhou Xun, we left.  He plans to take advantage of the fact that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has not yet started and go back to his hometown. After the film festival, according to his impatience, he will probably be busy preparing for "My Sassy Girl".  Coupled with the promotion of "The Butterfly Effect", it was impossible to find time to go home.  After staying at home for three days, Wan Xiaohu went to a computer college in Jiangdong to meet with his younger brother. After saying a few words about studying hard, Wan Xiaohu returned to the capital.  He does not need to worry about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. Chen Tianqiao's preparations for "Legend of Hot Blood" are going very smoothly. Although it was not popular at the beginning, it is still booming. Dandelion Film Company is still the same as before.  Su Ya now often goes to Peking University to take classes and does not appear in the company very often. Li Xia is becoming more and more proficient in business and socializing all day long.  Zhou Xun is also busy with the promotion of "The Butterfly Effect".  Wan Xiaohu hid in his studio and read the news online for a while, then clicked on the starting point to see the clicks on "My Sassy Girl".  You won¡¯t know if you don¡¯t read it, you will be shocked when you read it, you will click on all the books that are far ahead of the book site, and the discussion in the book review area will be even more lively.  After closing the website, Wan Xiaohu suddenly felt confident.  He doesn¡¯t care what film art is, as long as it¡¯s a popular movie, it¡¯s worth shooting.  "I have nothing to do now, so let's write the script of "My Sassy Girl" first." In this way, Wan Xiaohu immersed himself in creation. ?¡­ ?Time flies.  "The Butterfly Effect" was promoted non-stop, and suddenly, it was October 12th.  The 23rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards were announced at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.  Pan Changjiang won the Best Actor for his role as Hao Sanduo in "I Love You Tomorrow".  In "My Father and Mother", Zhang Ziyi won the most tabooed actress award for her role as the younger brother Zhao.  The best supporting actors and actresses are You Yong and Tao Hong who played Liu Yuan and Lu Xinxin in "Crash Landing on You" and "We Will Never Break Up" respectively.  As for the best feature film, there was a tie. "My Father and Mother", "Yellow River Love" and "Waiting Alone" won this award together.  The Hundred Flowers Award is an award voted for by the audience. Up to 500,000 people participated in voting for the Hundred Flowers Award this time, which is the largest number of people voting in recent years.  At the same time, the nominations for the 20th China Golden Rooster Awards were also announced.  "Waiting Alone" has two nominations, Best Supporting Actress and Best Art Award.  "The Butterfly Effect" has four nominations, Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography.  The awarding of the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award will be held at the "9th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in Beining, Xiguang" awards ceremony to be held on the 21st.  Almost as soon as the results of the Hundred Flowers Awards came out, the media exploded.  "Has anyone heard of the movie "Tomorrow I Love You"? "My Father and Mother" is also an old movie from a year ago. The three best feature films, except for "Waiting Alone", which has not faded, have all been  People forget, how can it be voted by the audience? It¡¯s hard to convince the public with the title of Best Actor and Best Actress!¡± - "Chinese Business News"  "There is no Feng Xiaogang in the Hundred Flowers Award, and there is no Feng Xiaogang in the Golden Rooster Award. It seems that Feng Xiaogang, the box office champion for two years, has been ignored?" - "Tiandu Outlook".  ""Waiting Alone" entered the Hundred Flowers Award, and "The Butterfly Effect" was nominated for the Golden Rooster. The 20-year-old director may be the biggest winner of this film festival." - "Beijing Youth Daily".  "The selection of the Hundred Flowers Award is strange, perhaps because urban people do not watch domestic films. The Golden Rooster Award still has the main theme, and the tastes of experts are far from the public. The only breakthrough is that at this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, there are finally works by young directors. Bei  Wan Xiaohu, a third-year TV drama student, takes on both "Waiting Alone" and "The Butterfly Effect" - New Wolf Audio and Video Entertainment.  "Haha, the day for me, Wan Xiaohu, to become famous has arrived!" Looking at the report in the newspaper, Wan Xiaohu couldn't help but smile.  Although the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award can only be regarded as third-rate awards internationally, they are well-known in the mainland.  After a few days of being complacent, he packed up his things and prepared to go south.  In order to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Huayi Brothers took the lead, and Dandelion and Bona Culture also joined in, forming a large team and flying to Beining together.  The crew of "Butterfly Effect" includes Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Lu Le. The crew of "Waiting Alone" includes Yao Chen and Chen Chong (nominated for best art). The rest are Wan Xiaohu, Li Xia, and Yu Dong.  and a few sales people.  After arriving in Beining on the 15th, Wang Zhonglei came to pick up the plane and arranged a group of people.  Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong and Wan Xiaohu gathered together and started chatting.  "This film festival is a bit tricky. We Huayi Brothers have been cheated." Wang Zhonglei directly initiated theComplain.  Wan Xiaohu was confused: "What?" "You have also seen the nominations for the Golden Rooster Awards. "A Sigh" did not win. I originally wanted to work hard on the publicity of "The Butterfly Effect" to ensure that I will win one or two awards. As for Feng Xiaogang's  "A Sigh", I didn't bother too much. I thought that with Feng Xiaogang's reputation, he wouldn't be able to escape. " Yu Dong asked: "I'm afraid it will be a little complicated this time."  "I have talked with Feng Xiaogang before, and he feels that this time, it is about dividing the officials and making wishes, and everyone wins the award. The fourth, fifth and sixth generation directors who are just starting out have blocked the door of the Golden Rooster Award and will not let him in.  He is quite angry. Now there is only one box office left, which makes him feel better. " "I have also read the reports a few days ago. The two points Feng Xiaogang said are quite reasonable. There are indeed some problems in this film festival.  It¡¯s indeed a bit too much,¡± Yu Dong said.  Wan Xiaohu also knows something about what Yu Dong and Wang Zhonglei said.  After the nominations came out on the 12th, there was no nomination for "A Sigh". Feng Xiaogang said in an interview at the time: "In terms of my character, I don't want to pretend to be a grandson, just say haha ??and pass by. If you have something to say, you have to speak. This Golden Rooster  The absence of "A Sigh" from the list of films shortlisted for the award is an injustice to the film and the film's creative collective, and is caused by the judges' bias. "There are two biases in the current Golden Rooster Award. One is that the market is hot.  The film is bound to be vulgar and has poor artistic quality; secondly, they think that I am a TV-maker, not a film major, and what I produce will not be a work of art. " "But they ignore one basic fact.  Judging from the impact of film works on the film market, in the past four years from 1997 to 2000, it was my films that helped Chinese films, not Chinese films that helped me. " "What is the purpose of the awards?  The prosperity and development of the company were not reflected in the selection. Maybe they felt that "we cannot give you this honor", but according to the dialectical principle of "everything has two sides", I think it was me who brought the honor.  "I won the Golden Rooster Award." "Some people may think I am too arrogant to say this, and some people may say that I can't eat grapes and say sour grapes, but the entire film ("A Sigh") and the collective that created the film have been ignored.  , Why are you still sulking shyly? I am willing to bear the result that if I offend the Golden Rooster Award and the judges by saying these things, I can never participate in the selection. This is nothing, but my film will not be included.  , they will be very embarrassed.¡± Then Feng Xiaogang also concluded: ¡°I now understand their (Golden Rooster Award judges¡¯) position, which is to fight against the audience.¡±  ¡°Furthermore, Wan Xiaohu also knew that Feng Xiaogang¡¯s holiday with the Golden Rooster Award was just the beginning.  In 2002, Feng Xiaogang's "Big Shot" could not escape the fate of "A Sigh". This time Feng Xiaogang learned not to speak.  In 2004, the organizers of the Golden Rooster Awards refused to allow Feng Xiaogang's work "Mobile Phone" to be shortlisted on the grounds of "vulgar style". Feng Xiaogang became angry.  In 2005, "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang grossed over 100 million, but still failed to receive a single nomination at the Golden Rooster Awards. Feng Xiaogang vowed that he would "never participate in the Golden Rooster Awards."  So I didn¡¯t participate in the exhibition for more than three years. It was not until the 2009 "Assembly" that Feng Xiaogang and the Golden Rooster finally settled their differences and came to participate in the exhibition and won multiple awards.  This fifth-generation director, who was rejected by the fifth-generation directors, finally rectified his name. Feng's humor is still art, and he became a true master in the Chinese film industry.  Of course, this is something in the future. Now China is preparing to "join the WTO", and Chinese films have not yet truly integrated with marketization. Feng's humor is often denounced as "vulgar" by the media, so Feng Xiaogang's nickname is "Citizen Director"  , saying that the movies he makes are for the common people and cannot be considered elegant.  After sighing with emotion at Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhonglei turned the topic to Wan Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, I'm afraid "The Butterfly Effect" will not fare well this time. It won several awards, so don't have high expectations. In the past two years, Huayi Brothers has invested in movies.  The earnings are a bit jealous. I see, they not only look down on Feng Xiaogang, but also look down on Huayi Brothers. " Wan Xiaohu said with a smile, "I don't care whether I win or not. What matters most to me is.  In this "Domestic New Film Exhibition", awards can certainly increase exposure, but ultimately it depends on sales. " "Then you have to be prepared. Now we have to put all our efforts into the meeting and strive to get word of mouth.  Not only is it good for publicity in newspapers, but also for publishers to applaud after reading it." After talking for a while, they dispersed. ??In fact, there is nothing to say about the Golden Rooster Award. Whether you can win the award does not depend on whether the film is well shot. There are too many interfering factors.  At noon, we had a meal under the hospitality of the organizers of the film festival.  In the afternoon, Wan Xiaohu was very busy.  He is going to attend the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the film festival tomorrow. At this opening party, he will introduce the director to the audience. Directors of the older generation and directors of the new generation will all take the stage.  At the rehearsal site, Wan Xiaohu met Xie Tieli, Xie Jin, Wu Yigong, Xie Fei, Yu Yang, Zheng Dongtian and other older generation directors, most of whom were still professors at Nortel.  "Hello, directors." Wan Xiaohu quickly greeted the older generation of directors.  "Xiaohu, we were talking about you just now. Come on, do you want me to introduce you?" Xie Jin saw Wan Xiaohu from a certain distance.  Wan Xiaohu walked over quickly and said, "I know everyone here. I grew up watching your movies." "This young man can talk, haha." Wu Yigong said with a smile, he is the old director of the Magic City Film Bureau.  , also graduated from Nortel.  In fact, most of the directors in China who continue to make movies basically graduated from Nortel.  It is also very simple for the fourth and fifth generations to exclude Feng Xiaogang. Feng Xiaogang did not graduate from Nortel.  To put it bluntly, the Chinese are very particular about "prot¨¦g¨¦s and former officials". As a director and a graduate of Nortel, he received great care.  It¡¯s just that in recent years, Nortel has become increasingly ineffective, and there are not many new directors.  As the only director from Nortel who has shown potential in recent years, Wan Xiaohu is naturally loved by the older generation and speaks with cordiality.  "When will your film "The Butterfly Effect" be released? I have agreed with them that we, the old guys, will support you at your new film meeting if we have time." Xie Jin said.  Wan Xiaohu was overjoyed: "With the support of all the seniors, I feel confident. It will be held at 4pm the day after tomorrow in the auditorium of Xiguang University." Director Yu Yang said: "Actually, this little tiger doesn't need us to be brave at all. I am in the newspaper  , I have seen news about him every day during this period. The term "Butterfly Effect" has made it very clear to me. Making science fiction films requires not only excellent skills, but also excellent courage. In this regard, young directors are very good at this.  "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. I'm just a newborn calf and I'm not afraid of tigers." Wan Xiaohu quickly expressed his humility.  Yu Yang is not a professional director, but one of the first actors after liberation, the director of the Beijing Film Studio Repertory Troupe, one of the "22 Big Movie Stars" in New China, and one of the country's fifty film artists with outstanding contributions.  A typical example of acting and directing well.  In this compliment, the rehearsal begins.
