Chapter 128 "The Fallen Leaves Return to Roots" starts
Cheng Yu'an calmly handled the company's affairs and personal investment business, and finally arrived on March 5th, U.S. time.
The 78th Academy Awards ceremony opens.
The Oscars attract the attention of the world every year, and this year is no exception.
At this year's Oscars, the whole world is watching "Brokeback Mountain."
"Brokeback Mountain" won the MTV Awards for Best Performance, swept the Golden Globe Awards: Best Screenplay, Best Original Song, Best Picture in a Drama Series, Best Director, and even won the Best Picture at Venice last September.
Golden Lion Award.
According to the odds offered by bookmakers, "Brokeback Mountain" is also unanimously optimistic about winning the Best Picture award.
But Cheng Yu'an knew that this year's biggest winner was "Brokeback Mountain", but the best picture went to a low-cost original film "Crash."
Return to the ceremony site.
This year's ceremony not only looked at "Brokeback Mountain", but also looked at the relationship between Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston.
Before the ceremony started, some people were speculating about what would happen if the three of them shared the stage.
Today, Jennifer Aniston seems to be in a bad mood, her complexion is very bad, and her hair is not done well. She looks good in her clothes, but she is very depressed.
He didn't want to say much when faced with reporters' questions. He simply said a few words, took two photos and left.
Our Miss Zhang, on the other hand, behaved very generously on the red carpet.
This year "Memoirs of a Geisha" was not shortlisted for the acting award, but it was shortlisted for a lot of technical awards.
What about art direction, photography, costume design, etc.
Zhang Ziyi is not only an actress this year, but also an award presenter. She will present the Best Editing Award alone.
Before the awards are given, many people will make predictions.
In retrospect, this year's Oscars were criticized for being too mediocre: "Almost 80% of the final awards at the 78th Academy Awards were predicted. This does not show how powerful people are at predicting, but it just proves that the Oscars are becoming more and more boring."
"
This is indeed the case. Except for "Crash" which defeated "Brokeback Mountain", many people predicted the other major awards.
Best Director: Li Bian, "Brokeback Mountain"
Best Actor: Philip Hoffman, "Capote"
Best Actress: Reese Witherspoon, "Sing Along."
It is a pity that this year's Oscars did not have any changes due to the arrival of our butterfly director Cheng Yu'an.
"Pride and Prejudice" still has no results.
Director Cheng ended his Oscar journey and returned to China in low spirits.
After returning to China, the crew of "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" has been formed and is preparing to go to Yunnan Province for filming.
Hou Kenming's face was still good, so Uncle Zhao and Aunt Song agreed without saying a word as soon as they read the script.
Especially Uncle Zhao, after reading the script he said: "You wrote it with me in mind!"
Therefore, when Cheng Yu'an flew from the capital to the Yunnan Province crew, Uncle Zhao was very enthusiastic towards him.
"You wrote a good story." Uncle Zhao held Cheng Yu'an's hand affectionately, "I heard that "The Warmth Contains the Light" was filmed in Northeast China? Why don't you come to me? I will make arrangements for you.
"
"Uncle, let's film the movie first." Cheng Yu'an stopped Uncle Zhao and wanted to have a good drink with him.
"We can't shoot, the actors haven't arrived." Uncle Zhao waved his hand.
"What's wrong? Who else hasn't arrived?"
"The actor Liu Quanyou didn't arrive." Liu Quanyou is Lao Zhao's brother in the play, and that's the corpse.
"It was originally agreed that we would pay an extra two hundred yuan to play the corpse, but the actor suddenly went back on his word and asked for an extra 1,000 yuan. The money was not much, but Director Hou refused to agree, saying that it broke the rules."
Cheng Yu'an nodded: "I really can't agree to it. How can we film this movie if everyone wants to increase the price like this?"
Just as he was talking, an unfamiliar elder brother suddenly shouted: "You are Zhao Benshan, right?"
With a strong accent from Yunnan Province: "I particularly like your sketches."
Zhao Benshan did not recognize this person and asked: "Who are you?"
"I'm the driver of the extras. I didn't expect you to be on this crew too. Can you sign your name for me?" He said and took out a crumpled notebook and a ballpoint pen from the car, looking at it with eager eyes.
This is Uncle Zhao.
"No problem." Uncle Zhao took the pen and paper, "What's your name?"
"My name is Hong Qiwen."
"Okay, can I just write and wish Comrade Hong Qiwen all the best?"
"Okay, thank you very much." Hong Qiwen nodded.
Cheng Yu'an on the side looked at the two people and suddenly asked: "Is this old man interested in acting?"
"What? I'm acting? Brother, are you kidding me?" Hong Qiwen waved his hand quickly.
Zhao Benshan knew Cheng Yu'an's idea as soon as he heard it. He wanted to ask the driver Hong Qiwen to play Liu Quanyou.
"No kidding, you are still one of the leading actors, and you have been acting with Zhao Benshan." Cheng Yu'an continued to lie.
"Real or false? Acting with Teacher Zhao?"
Zhao Benshan responded from the side: "Really, and I carried you the whole time."
"Okay, I'll act." Hong Qiwen mainly wanted to be with Uncle Zhao, "What should I act?"
"You play a corpse."
"Ah?" Hong Qiwen said in surprise.
"Brother, do you have any taboos?" Cheng Yu'an didn't know the local customs either.
"I don't have any taboos." Hong Qiwen said, "Can I really act with Teacher Zhao?"
"Really, Teacher Zhao has been carrying you, you don't have to do anything, just lie on Uncle Zhao's back with your eyes closed." Cheng Yu'an continued.
"Okay, I'll act!" Hong Qiwen agreed, "What about the price...hehehehe."
"Don't worry, we'll give you an extra two hundred dollars based on the price of the special actors, okay?" Cheng Yu'an reported the crew's price to Hong Qiwen.
Hong Qiwen had worked as a driver for many film crews, and he also knew a little about the prices of actors. He knew that the price offered by Cheng Yu'an was quite generous, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Brother, I have to make it clear to you first. There is a scene in which you are about to get into a tire and Uncle Zhao pushes you away. This scene will make you physically uncomfortable and you may even be injured, but we
We will try our best to ensure your safety, and the crew will cover all medical and nutritional expenses if something happens."
"You young man is really good at doing things." Hong Qiwen first praised Cheng Yu'an, "Don't worry, although I am not a professional actor, I have invited so many actors to act, and I have listened to them saying that the show is bigger than the sky. Besides,
I’ve already taken the money, and I’ll definitely perform the trick for you, don’t worry.”
"With your words, I feel relieved." Cheng Yu'an smiled.
Everything was ready. Hou Kenming sat behind the monitor. He hadn't made a movie in more than ten years. He suddenly started to feel a little nervous:
"Attention all departments."
"The lighting is OK."
"Recording OK."
"Camera OK."
