    The next day, all major portal websites reported on the 33rd Academy Awards with headlines. The focus of all reports was "Westward Journey", which was the biggest winner of this year's Golden Horse Awards. Except for the best movie, it was missed.  In addition to being won by "The Grandmaster", it was also won by the film coefficient for Best Newcomer, Screenwriter, Supporting Actor and Actor, Best Actor and Best Director, etc. It won a total of 13 awards, setting a record for the most award-winning films at the Academy Awards.  ¡À Last night¡¯s award show was a wonderful event, and was rated as the most interesting one in the past 10 years. The most eye-catching one was of course Wang Xu and Zhuang Xiaodie, the divine couple who both won awards and made others envious.  At the same time, Wang Xu held a grand celebration banquet, and nearly a hundred friends from the entertainment industry from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan congratulated him on the spot.  As the host, Wang Xu was full of glory as he shuttled through the banquet hall.  Wang Jiawei and Liang Chaowei also came, and Wang Xuzheng clinked glasses with them.  "Sledgehammer, no, I should also call you Director Wang." Wang Jiawei looked at Wang Xu and said with a smile: ""The Romance of Dragon and Snake" is so popular. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the younger generations are formidable." Wang Xu said modestly: "I'm here  When I was filming "The Legend of Dragon and Snake", I studied and studied your movies. "The Grandmaster" gave me a lot of inspiration and source of inspiration. "Wang Xu admires Wong Kar-wai, a maverick director, and some of them.  A director cannot be measured by the box office of a movie, and I am talking about Wong Kar-wai.  In fact, most of his movies have lost money at the box office, and most viewers even think that his movies are incomprehensible. For example, many people who watched "The Grandmaster" did not know what they were talking about, but this does not affect the popularity of "The Grandmaster" in the film industry.  Internal reputation does not affect his status.  Because Wong Kar-wai's film art achievements are very high, he is often studied by film students, and many directors are more or less influenced by him.  Take "Westward Journey" as an example. Many people don't know that the film is obviously ridiculing and imitating Wong Kar-wai's film "Chungking Express".  "If God can give me another chance. I will say three words to that girl: I love you. If I have to add a time limit to this love, I hope it is ten thousand years." Imitation  It is what Takeshi Kaneshiro said in "Chungking Express": "If memory is a can, I hope this can will not expire. If I must add a day, I hope it will be ten thousand years." Zixia Fairy and Supreme  What Bao said during the fight in the backyard of the Bull Demon King's house: "The sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from my throat at that time, but after a quarter of the incense stick, the mistress of that sword will completely fall in love with me."  It is also imitating the one in "Chungking Express": "The woman was only 0.01 centimeters away from me at that time. When I was 57 years old, I fell in love with her completely." Liu Zhenwei, the director of the original version, is a good friend of Wong Kar-wai. He claimed that he did this because he could not watch  Accustomed to Wong Kar-wai's sullenness: "At that time, I just wanted to laugh at him. Because the men and women in his movies have been in love for a long time, and they would not say a word about love, but they would say a lot of nonsense." One more off-topic anecdote, "  The screenwriter and director of "Westward Journey" are Liu Zhenwei, but in the subtitles of the film, the screenwriter is called "Ji An".  This is because when Lau Chun Wai and Wong Kar Wai collaborated on the filming of "Carmen" and "The Haunted Mansion", they joked that if they became popular in the future, they would use the names of the characters in the dramas as pen names.  One is Giannis and the other is Kim McGee.  As a result, Zhenwei later fulfilled his promise.  But the Sunglasses King disliked the name Kim McGee as too vulgar and refused to use it even to death.  Wong Kar-wai laughed and said: "Your movie will premiere on May 1st, right? Remember to invite me. I also want to see the movies made by you young people." "That is my honor." Wang Xu said with a smile:  "You don't have to wait for the premiere. Are you two free from 10 a.m. to noon tomorrow? I'm going to hold a movie viewing party at the Golden Harvest Cinema in Causeway Bay." "Sure, I'll fly to Shanghai tomorrow afternoon.  Time." Wong Kar-wai agreed to the invitation, and Tony Leung also agreed.  "Then I'll thank you two for your compliments first, and I'll also invite other friends. Excuse me for a moment." Wang Xu Gaozui left to invite Zhen Zaidan.  The audience for this screening of "The Legend of Dragon and Snake" included film producers, celebrities in the industry, directors, and a total of 200 people including reporters, film critics, columnists and 80 fans were invited.  "Westward Journey" also held a similar viewing party and achieved very good results.  First of all, the film can get everyone's most intuitive opinions. The final version of "Dahua" was edited based on the ideas and opinions put forward by everyone at that screening meeting. Secondly, the other advantage is that the film can be expressed through the mouths of the viewers.  Word of mouth has already spread even before it's released.  Of course, this kind of movie viewing party is usually a blockbuster movie, and the movie itself is of excellent quality, otherwise it would be a joke, and Golden Hammer Films naturally has confidence in "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake".  The next day, Zhen Zidan canceled an activity in the morning and arrived at a small cinema on the fourth floor of the Golden Harvest Cinema in Causeway Bay half an hour early., Wang Xu learned that he was coming and greeted him at the door.  "Brother Dan, thank you for your support. Please go inside and have something to eat first." Wang Xu was very happy and led Zhen Zaidan inside while saying, "I also want to ask Brother Dan to give you some guidance after watching the video.  "Zhen Zidan said politely: "I dare not take it!" "Brother, please don't do this. Even if you think it is rubbish after reading it, please just say it. I feel a little inflated now and I need a big brother like you.  Wake up." Zhen Zidan laughed and said, "Don't be humble. I have expectations for "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" and I hope you will surprise me. "If he didn't have expectations, he wouldn't have come.  In fact, the market for kung fu and martial arts movies has not been very good in recent years. Brother Chen Long is already 60 and can still play for a few more years. Jet Li is half-finished. The output of movies by these two brothers is getting less and less. He is the only one who is still making movies.  He is in the golden age of his acting career.  But even Zhen Zidan himself is not confident that every one of his movies will be a box office hit. Now the movie market is very prosperous, but it also means that the audience has more choices and likes to see higher-level things.  This places higher demands on practitioners. Even superstars like Donnie Yen must learn new things and pay attention to the latest developments among their peers.  When "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" was first being prepared, Zhen Zidan had already paid attention to it. If it were other young people making kung fu movies, he would certainly not be so interested, but Wang Xu is a monster.  When he learned that the film would involve Chen Long, Tony Jaa, and Wu Jing, he became even more interested, so he came this time.  "Hey, Brother Dan, here!" Zhen Zaidan saw Wu Jing waving to him, and there were two great directors, Wang Jing and John Woo, beside him.  They were all old friends. Zhen Zaidan quickly walked over and joined their chat.  After a while, Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, Liang Chaowei, Wong Kar-wai and other big brothers came one after another.  When all the guests arrived, the staff sent each guest a questionnaire to write down some comments after watching the movie. Of course, the staff also reminded them again not to record or take photos inside.  Guests entered the theater one after another, while Wang Xu and Wu Jing waited outside in order not to hinder everyone from watching the movie.  Both he and Wu Jing were closing their eyes to rest, but they were actually paying attention to what was going on inside.  After about 10 minutes, Wang Xu heard someone screaming and cheering inside.  Both he and Wu Jing could finally relax.  110 long minutes passed, and the film was finished. After another 20 long minutes, the door finally opened, and the first people to come out were a man and two women, both seventeen or eighteen years old.  When the three of them saw Wu Jing, they all called Wang Chao together and gave a thumbs up.  Wang Xu asked: "How is it? Is it good-looking?" Before the three of them had time to answer, the fans who came out from behind said: "It looks good, and the fight was so exciting." "Wu Jing, you are so handsome, and the fight with Zhang Jin on the gambling boat was really good.  "It was so exciting!" "The final battle between Wang Chao and Tony Jia was so exciting. It made my blood boil." Wang Xu and Wu Jing looked at each other and smiled. They knew that the film was loved by the fans and was a success.  At this time, actors and directors such as Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Donnie Yen, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Wong Kar-Wai, and Wong Jing came out one after another. As they walked, they were still exchanging their thoughts on the film.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
