Chapter 640: Go big right off the bat, how cool is that!
"The Light and Shadow Festival will create another glorious moment. Welcome everyone to this grand event of Chinese films. Distinguished guests, audience friends at the scene and in front of the TV, good evening!"
On the stage, it was still Tang He, who was very familiar to Lin Fan, who took on the responsibility of hosting the show with two famous actresses in the circle. After the opening performance, they stepped onto the stage.
"This is the 39th China Golden Film Awards ceremony, co-hosted by the China Federation of Literature and Art, the China Film Association, and the Shanghai government, and broadcast simultaneously by Shanghai Satellite TV, M-TV and other TV stations and online channels. I am the host, Tang He."
The Golden Film Awards ceremony is similar to the Golden Melody Awards ceremony. The host only plays the role of connecting the proceedings. The filmmakers at the scene are more concerned about who wins the awards, while the audience outside the venue wants to see which big-name artists will appear at the ceremony.
Lin Fan clapped along with everyone else.
Cheng Guohua quietly introduced Lin Fan to the Golden Film Awards judges who were on stage: "These judges are either creators who have shot many works that have caused a strong response, or artists who have won the three major Chinese film awards or international film awards, or simply people from above."
In short, each of them is a big shot in the circle, so just remember them.
Lin Fan nodded gently, and kept these people firmly in mind: after all, if he wanted to make it in the film industry, he would have to deal with these judges sooner or later.
Although Lin Fan may not appear in person, it is always a good thing to remember his face! After the judges showed their faces, the award ceremony went straight into the awarding part. This rhythm made Lin Fan, who thought he would have to sit there for a long time before seeing something real, feel very comfortable.
That's right, going all out right away, how cool! Not only Lin Fan, everyone else couldn't help but get excited, and focused all their attention on the stage.
On the stage, the first round of awards were presented by two talented actors, one male and one female, both over 40 years old. They were responsible for presenting the Best Supporting Actor award.
Oh, this award! Lin Fan suddenly became excited.
because.
"The nominees for the 39th Golden Film Awards Best Supporting Actor Award are Cheng Guohua from A Chinese Ghost Story!"
Oh no!
While Lin Fan was clapping, he half-turned his face to show his eight snow-white teeth to Cheng Guohua. The other actors in the row couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Cheng Guohua, and many people who knew Cheng Guohua's position also cast their eyes over.
Cheng Guohua was very helpless, but facing everyone's attention, he could only respond with a gentle and kind smile.
In fact, everyone knows what this award is about.
The box office of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" was so high that it was a bit unreasonable for the organizing committee not to give it a few more nominations. In addition, the other four movies nominated for the Best Supporting Actor were not given much attention.
In addition, Cheng Guohua's qualifications are there and his acting skills are indeed good enough, so nominating him for Best Supporting Actor will not cause resentment from other actors.
So, yes, Cheng Guohua's nomination was the result of a compromise between the organizing committee and all parties. Everyone, including Cheng Guohua himself, knew that this nomination was just a runner-up, used to help the other four finalists attract the audience's attention.
Major award ceremonies are very good at using this little trick.
Of course, this is not without benefits for the "A Chinese Ghost Story" crew and Cheng Guohua, so to some extent, the two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial and have a pleasant cooperation.
Although he knew the truth, it did not stop Lin Fan from being happy for Cheng Guohua: "Teacher Cheng, a nomination is a victory. Although it's just a nomination this time, maybe I'll win the award next time!"
Cheng Guohua was helpless: "Thank you for your good words!"
But what Lin Fan said is not wrong. For the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", the box office is already so high, and whether it wins an award or not will not affect the popularity of the movie. Of course, winning an award is the icing on the cake. Although Cheng Guohua is a veteran actor, a best actor award is still very important to him.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter if he didn’t win the Golden Film Awards. He can still look forward to the Hundred Awards and Huazhang Awards next year.
If that doesn’t work, don’t we still have “Butterfly Lovers”?
Moreover, the public welfare film that Lin Fan is working on is about to be approved, and Cheng Guohua has also seen the script. Cheng Guohua is still very optimistic about this film.
Well, for the next two years, at least two years, I have to hold on to Lin Fan's thighs tightly! Cheng Guohua felt that as long as he followed Lin Fan, he would not have to worry about not having good movies to shoot! On the stage, the award presenter announced the list of the final winners. As expected, it was a supporting actor in a period film who won the award.
The second award was for Best Supporting Actress.
This award had nothing to do with the crew of A Chinese Ghost Story, so Lin Fan and others looked at it with ease. In particular, among the nominated actresses, there was a seven-year-old girl, who caught Lin Fan's attention.
"This little girl is amazing. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at such a young age."
Children have a natural talent for acting, and those who can act do it very well, as if they were born for acting. This little girl is obviously such a good talent.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing Lin Fan's attention, Cheng Guohua thought of the script of the public welfare film, and then looked at the little girl in the nominated clip. Her natural acting skills made him nod:
"She is indeed very talented. That movie needs child actors, right? How about this girl? If you think she is suitable, send her an invitation and ask her parents to bring her over for an audition so that you can see for yourself."
For young actors like this, their parents usually act as their agents, helping them to choose roles. Although there is no pay for public welfare films, it is still a very good stage and opportunity for actors.
If the young actress can take on a public welfare film at this stage, it will be of great benefit to her future acting career. I just don't know if her parents are willing to let their child take on a public welfare film with almost no pay.
Lin Fan pondered for a moment: "It's not enough to watch just one clip. Let's wait until we get back and watch the whole movie."
Cheng Guohua just mentioned it, but in the end, it was still Lin Fan who had the final say on who to hire and who not to hire. So after Lin Fan expressed his opinion, Cheng Guohua nodded and said nothing more.
It's a pity that the young actress did not win the Best Supporting Actress award in the end. The award was won by another nominated actress.
The camera swept over the position of the little actor. After all, the little girl was still young, and knew that she did not win the award. Her expression was a little aggrieved, but when she saw the camera sweeping over, she blinked at the camera cutely.
The audience watching the live broadcast were instantly overwhelmed by the cuteness of the little girl! [I’m not blaming the uncle: Ahhh! Too cute! I really want to pinch her tender little face! ]
