I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it turns out Miss Jingjing couldn't sleep either.

0099【Day of Fame】

On the National Day of 2000, Wan Xiaohu and Zhou Xun spent it together.

The next day, after eating the breakfast made by Zhou Xun, I left.He planned to go back to his hometown before the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival started. After the film festival, according to his impatience, he would probably be busy preparing for "My Sassy Girl".Coupled with the "Butterfly Effect" publicity, it is impossible to spare time to go home.

After staying at home for three days, he went to a computer college in Jiangdong to meet his younger brother, and told him to study hard, and Wan Xiaohu returned to the capital.

The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival didn't need him to worry about. Chen Tianqiao's preparations for "Legend of Hot Blood" went smoothly. Although it was not popular, it was still flourishing. Dandelion Film Company was still the same.Su Ya now often goes to Peking University to attend classes, and does not appear in the company very often. Li Xia is becoming more and more proficient in business, and socializes all day long.

Zhou Xun was also busy with the promotion of "The Butterfly Effect".

Wan Xiaohu hid in his studio, watched the news online for a while, and then clicked on it to see the clicks on "My Sassy Girlfriend".I don't know if I don't read it, I was startled when I saw it, and I clicked on all the books on the far ahead book site, and the discussions in the book review area were even more enthusiastic.

After closing the website, Wan Xiaohu immediately became more confident.

He doesn't care what film art is, as long as the film can be popular, it is worth shooting.

"I'm idle now, let's write the script of "My Sassy Girl" first."

In this way, Wan Xiaohu devoted himself to creating it.

……

Time flies.

The promotion of "Butterfly Effect" continued uninterrupted, and suddenly, it arrived on October 10th.

The 23rd Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films was announced at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

"Tomorrow I Love You" Pan Changjiang won the best actor for his role as Hao Sanduo. "My Father and Mother" Zhang Yi won the most taboo heroine by playing the role of recruiting younger brother.The best male and female supporting roles are You Yong and Tao Hong who played Liu Yuan and Lu Xinxin in "Emergency Landing" and "Say Good Not to Break Up".

As for the best feature film, there was a tie, "My Father and Mother", "The Yellow River" and "Waiting Alone" won the award together.

The Hundred Flowers Award is an award voted by the audience. This time, as many as 50 people voted for the Hundred Flowers Award, which is the largest number of voters in recent years.

At the same time, the 20th National Film Golden Rooster Awards also announced the nominations. "Waiting Alone" has two nominations, Best Supporting Actress and Best Fine Art. "The Butterfly Effect" has four nominations, Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography.

Both the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards will be held on the 21st at the "West Guangbei Ning [-]st Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival" awards ceremony.

Almost as soon as the results of the Hundred Flowers Awards came out, the media exploded.

"Has anyone heard of the movie "I Love You Tomorrow"? "My Father and Mother" is also an old movie a year ago. The three best feature films, except for "Waiting Alone", which is still hot, are all selected People have forgotten, why can it be voted by the audience? It is hard to convince the audience of the name of the actor and actress!" - "Hua Shang Bao".

"There is no Feng Xiaogang in the Hundred Flowers Awards, and there is no Feng Xiaogang in the Golden Rooster Awards. It seems that Feng Xiaogang, who has been the box office champion for two years, has been ignored?" - "Tian Du Wang Wang".

""Waiting Alone" won the Hundred Flowers Award, "Butterfly Effect" was nominated for the Golden Rooster, and the 20-year-old director may be the biggest winner of this film festival." —— "Beijing Youth Daily".

"The selection of the Hundred Flowers Awards is strange, which may be related to the fact that urbanites do not watch domestic films. The Golden Rooster Award is still the main theme, and the taste of experts is far from that of the public. The only breakthrough is that this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival finally has works by young directors. Wan Xiaohu, a third-year student at the TV University, will fight with "Waiting Alone" and "The Butterfly Effect." ——New Wolf Entertainment.

"Haha, my Wan Xiaohu's day of fame has arrived!"

Looking at the report in the newspaper, Wan Xiaohu couldn't help smiling.Although the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award can only be regarded as third-rate awards in the world, they are very famous in the Mainland.

After a few days of getting carried away, he packed up his things and prepared to go south.

In order to compete in this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Huayi Brothers took the lead, Dandelion and Bonahua also joined in, formed a large team, and flew to Beining together. The crew of "Butterfly Effect" came Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and Lu Le, the crew of "Waiting Alone" came Yao Chen and Chen Chong (best art nominee), and the rest were Wan Xiaohu, Li Xia and Yu Dong And a few people who run sales.

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 got together and chatted.

"This film festival is a bit tricky. We Huayi Brothers have been tricked." Wang Zhonglei complained directly.

Wan Xiaohu was puzzled: "What?"

"You have also seen the nominations for the Golden Rooster Awards, and there is no "Sigh". I originally thought that I would work hard to publicize "The Butterfly Effect" first, so as to guarantee one or two awards. As for Feng Xiaogang's "Sigh", I didn't bother much. I thought that with Feng Xiaogang's reputation, I would never be able to escape. Who knows, if he is nominated, he won't be able to do so."

Yu Dong asked, "I'm afraid it's a bit complicated this time."

Wang Zhonglei sighed: "I talked with Feng Xiaogang before, and he felt that this time, it was a division of officials to make a wish, and everyone won the award. The fourth generation, the fifth generation, and the acting directors who just came out, blocked the door of the Golden Rooster Award and did not let him Go in. He is more angry, now there is only one box office left, let him feel better."

"I've also read the report a few days ago. The two points Feng Xiaogang said are more reasonable. There are indeed some problems in this film festival, and it is indeed a little too much." Yu Dong said.

Wan Xiaohu knew something about what Yu Dong and Wang Zhonglei said.

After the nomination 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 personality, I don't want to pretend to be a grandson. I just let it go, and I have to talk if I have something to say. This year's Golden Rooster The absence of "A Sigh" in the shortlist of the award selection is an injustice to this film and the creative collective of this film, and it is caused by the prejudice of the judges."

"There are two prejudices in the current Golden Rooster Awards. One is that movies that are popular in the market must be vulgar and must have poor artistry; the other is that I am a TV shooter rather than a film graduate, and what I make halfway through my career will not be a work of art."

"They think my films need to be improved. But they ignore a basic fact. Judging from the impact of film works on the film market, from 1997 to 2000, nearly four years, it was my films that helped Chinese films, not Chinese movies helped me."

"What is the purpose of the award? It is for the prosperity and development of the film, but it is not reflected in the selection. Maybe they think 'we can't give you this honor', but according to the law of dialectics 'everything has two sides' Speaking, I think I brought the honor to the Golden Rooster Award.”

"Some people may think that I am too arrogant to say this, and some people will say that I can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour, but the entire film ("A Sigh") and the collective that created the film were ignored, and they still held back shyly. Why are you sulking? I am willing to bear such a result. I offend the Golden Rooster Award, offend the judges, offend the judges, and offend the judges. I can never participate in the selection. It’s nothing, but without my film, they will be very embarrassing. .”

Then Feng Xiaogang also concluded: "I now recognize their (Golden Rooster Award judges) position, which is against the audience."

Chiguoguo fought the Golden Rooster Award.

Moreover, Wan Xiaohu also knew that the festivities between Feng Xiaogang and the Golden Rooster Awards were just the beginning.

In 2002, Feng Xiaogang's "Big Wrist" could not escape the fate of "A Sigh". This time Feng Xiaogang learned not to speak.

In 2004, the organizer of the Golden Rooster Awards refused to let Feng Xiaogang's work "Mobile Phone" be shortlisted on the grounds of "vulgar style", and Feng Xiaogang was very angry.

In 2005, "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang had a box office of over [-] million, but it still did not receive a single nomination for the Golden Rooster Awards. Feng Xiaogang vowed that he would "never participate in the Golden Rooster Awards."

So it was more than three years without participating in the exhibition. It was not until "Assembly" in 2009 that Feng Xiaogang and the Golden Rooster Award finally settled down and came to participate in the exhibition and won many awards.This director of the fifth generation who was rejected by the directors of the fifth generation finally made a name for himself. Feng's humor is still an art, and he has become a real master in the Chinese film industry.

Of course, this is a matter of the future. Now China is preparing to "enter the WTO", and Chinese films have not yet truly connected with the market. Feng's humor is often denounced as "vulgar" by the media, so Feng Xiaogang's nickname is "citizen director". He said that his movies are all for ordinary citizens, which is hard to be elegant.

Feeling deeply about Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhonglei turned the topic to Wan Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, I'm afraid "Butterfly Effect" will have a hard time this time. Don't expect too much for a few awards. In the past two years, Huayi Brothers has invested in movies. Earning a bit makes people jealous, I think they not only look down on Feng Xiaogang, they also look down on Huayi Brothers."

Wan Xiaohu said with a smile, "I'm happy to win an award or not. What I value most is the 'China-made New Film Festival' this time. Awards can certainly increase exposure, but fundamentally it depends on sales."

"Then you have to be prepared. Now we have to devote all our energy to the meeting and strive to spread the word of mouth. Not only to promote it in the newspaper, but also to make those publishers clap their hands 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 good or not. There are too many interfering factors in it.

In the afternoon, I had a meal under the hospitality of the organizer of the film festival.

In the afternoon, Wan Xiaohu was busy.
