Superstar Couple

Chapter 118 He Is A Promising Actor

In the post-production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Le strives for perfection like shooting. This film carries his ambitions, ambitions for various awards. There are references to the original version, and a lot of effort was spent during the shooting, so the post-production is relatively easy.

Not long after returning from my hometown, the finished film came out.

The production of the film was completed, but the nomination list for this year's Golden Dragon Awards came out.

Not contrary to Zhang Le's expectations, "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" failed without any nominations. However, Zhang Le himself has a nomination, and the voice is still very high.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in "No Way Back". And there is no way out, in addition to the nominations for Best Supporting Actor, there are also Best Action Design and Best Screenplay. All in all, Zhang Le's nomination for Best Supporting Actor is heavier.

"If you won this award, would you find it ironic?" Yang Xiner asked with a smile.

"Why do you ask that?" Zhang Le asked suspiciously.

"You have won two Golden Dragon Awards, but both are best original film songs. It should be said that this is an award for music, not for movies. You are a director, and "Crazy Stone" has been nominated for several times. An important award, but returned empty-handed. But the first film award he won now is Best Supporting Actor, don’t you find it ironic? Even an award for film technology is better than this performance award!” Yang Xin Son smiled and said.

"When you say that, it seems to be true." Zhang Le was stunned for a moment, then said.

Not to mention, I heard what Yang Xiner said. He seemed to be looking forward to not winning this award.

Looking forward to not winning this award, maybe Zhang Le is the first filmmaker who does not want to win the Golden Dragon Award. The Golden Dragon Award, after all, is the highest award for Chinese-language films.

"Hey, guest appearances don't count. It's your first movie role. If you win the Best Supporting Actor award, will the media write like everyone else: He is a very promising actor." Yang Xin Er laughed and joked.

Very premised actor?

Zhang Le smiled and said: "That's right, when the movie was released, didn't the media say that I would become a new generation of Kung Fu superstar? But, why do I feel that you are a little gloating!"

"No way! I'm happy for you. It's the dream of many actors to be nominated for the Golden Dragon Award." Yang Xiner said with a smile.

"Young man, you have won the Best Supporting Actor award, and you are qualified to act with the Umbra Queen." Yang Xiner patted Zhang Le on the shoulder and said in an old-fashioned tone.

"Tell me, if I nominate "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" again, or even win Best Supporting Actor, will someone invite me to act as a supporting actor?" Zhang Le shook his head and asked with a smile.

"Oh!" Yang Xiner was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "Who else is worthy of your director Zhang Da's supporting role besides this lady? However, if you really won the Best Supporting Actor for two consecutive times, it is estimated that many actors will say You steal their jobs."

Yang Xiner is aware of Zhang Le's temperament, he accepted "No Way Back" in addition to repaying Zhou Run's favor, to a large extent, he wanted to learn something from Director Chen.

Now that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been filmed, Zhang Le's level of director has undergone a qualitative change, and there is no need to study as before. Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhang Le doesn't need to study. It's just that the way of learning is different. If you still go to observe other directors, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing.

There is no great director without his own style.

What's more, when Zhang Le finished filming "No Way Back", he said that he would no longer take on actors' plays, unless he directed it himself.

As a director, when working with other directors as an actor, I am afraid it will inevitably be awkward. And this kind of awkwardness is uncomfortable for any director.

Directors have a natural desire to control movies. When I have a different opinion from the co-director, I have to shoot and act according to the director. One can imagine what that taste was like.

"The "Kung Fu" you planned to shoot before your next film, or the one you gave me a while ago?" Yang Xiner asked suddenly.

"I asked someone to sign up for this year's Cannes Film Festival. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" I plan to premiere in Cannes." Zhang Le said, "If the international response of this film is okay, "Kung Fu" will be slow. Just shoot the movie I gave you before."

"It seems that you are really planning to take the international route?" Yang Xiner smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what you said before?"

"What did I say?" Zhang Le asked suspiciously.

"The strides are too big, it's easy to talk shit!" Yang Xiner said with a laugh. Then he teased Zhang Le's lower body with his hand.

When Zhang Le heard it, black lines appeared on his forehead.

"Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore. I believe you can do it! Besides, we are still young and not afraid of failure." Yang Xiner said seriously.

"You're right. We are young, we can do it again if we fail!" Zhang Le nodded.

Yang Xiner didn't have confidence, and he didn't actually have much confidence either. Although he doesn't think that the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" he shot is worse than the original version, and even better in details, at least there are no goofy shots.

But after all, the world is different, and the timing is different. Who can guarantee that he will not encounter some more excellent works that are more inclined to the jury?

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is definitely an amazing movie. Although many people don't like it, it is definitely a work that cannot be ignored in the history of film.

Zhang Le does not intend to make such a film again, it is too tiring and too tortured. Even Zhang Le has no confidence to make a better movie than it.

Of course, it's not hard to shoot a film that tops it at the box office. But movies are often not measurable at the box office.

In early March, the Golden Dragon Awards arrived as scheduled. Zhang Le and Yang Xiner participated hand in hand.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of this nomination for Best Supporting Actor? Are you confident that you will win? Many people say that you will become a new generation of kung fu superstar. Do you have any intention of making kung fu movies or action movies?"

"Director Zhang, when will your new film be released? What is the expected box office?"

"Director Zhang, when will you release a new song? Do you have any plans to make an album for Ms. Yang Xiner this year? Do you two have any plans to hold a concert?"

"Director Zhang..."

Zhang Le and Yang Xin'er walked on the red carpet, and many media surrounded them with overwhelming questions. If there were no guardrails separating them, they would have surrounded them long ago.

During this period of time, Zhang Le was immersed in the production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and rarely appeared in front of the media. And "Where's the Time Going" he sang on the Spring Festival Gala is still hot now, and the nomination for Best Supporting Actor added to the fire. Nowadays, too many media want to interview but can't.

Zhang Le waved his hand with a smile, and let the media ask, but did not answer. It's not that there are too many questions and I don't know which one to answer, but it is obviously inappropriate to stop and answer reporters' questions. After all, this was on the red carpet, not his press conference.

"Ah Le, this way!"

As soon as Zhang Le and Yang Xiner entered the venue, Chen Ke called him over and asked, "I heard that the post-production of your new film has been completed? When is it going to be released? Do you plan to have a premiere or something this time?"

"It is planned to be released in summer this year. As for the premiere, there is no plan yet." Zhang Le smiled and said, "It shouldn't be the same as Director Chen's new film, right?"
