Chapter 293 The First Level of Film Queen
The live broadcast from the studio continues.
Li Chen's words were not just complaints, but also indirect suggestions.
Jingwei changed the subject and continued.
"Director Li's remarks are sure to spark heated discussions again."
"But I believe Director Li's original intention was to have the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards be on par with the Golden Horse Awards."
"Then the last question is, under what circumstances will Rongchen Pictures participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards?"
“I’m sure many media outlets have asked Director Li this question recently.”
"Director Li, why don't you give us a glimpse of the truth in front of the TV audience today?"
Several leading actors in the studio were secretly laughing in their hearts, including the Sixth Princess.
If this were any other media, I'm afraid Director Li wouldn't answer every question.
Li Chen hesitated for only a moment before saying, "A golden rooster does not lay double-yolked eggs, and there are no ghost flowers among the flowers."
Jingwei and everyone else understood the first sentence.
But after the last sentence, everyone in the studio looked at each other.
Jingwei smiled and said, "Director Li, this ghost flower must have a hidden meaning."
Li Chen nodded and said, "Yes, since it is the Hundred Flowers Awards, the box office is the prerequisite for selection."
"This year's Hundred Flowers Film 'Hidden Wings' has not been screened nationwide. Where did the 500 million box office revenue come from to be selected?"
"How did you win the award?"
The director's voice came from Jingwei's headset: "Okay, that's about it."
"Let's get back to the topic and introduce "The Sound of Wind"!"
Jingwei smiled and said without changing his expression: "Thank you Director Li. Now let's talk about the movie "The Sound of Wind"."
"Ms. Zhang Manyu, fans affectionately call you Manshen, the hexagonal warrior of the film and television industry."
"Director Li helped you win the Silver Lion again last year."
"You have also become the first European actress to win three Golden Globes awards."
"He won so many Hong Kong Film Awards and Golden Horse Awards."
"This "The Sound of Wind" is your first work after you won the triple gold medal."
"I heard that you rejected The Warlords directed by Chen Kexin and The Meeting of the Two Heroes directed by Jia Zhangke!"
"Is it because of returning a favor?"
Zhang Manyu glanced at Li Chen and they smiled at each other.
"Really not. I was willing to participate in "The Sound of Wind" because the subject matter and role were also new challenges for me."
"Besides, being able to compete on the same stage with Zhou Xun also fulfills a wish I had a few years ago."
Zhou Xun quickly waved his hand modestly and said with a smile: "It's my honor."
Jingwei also smiled and said, "I also want to ask Director Li, a fan of Ms. Zhang Manyu."
"Who has better acting skills, Ms. Zhang Manyu or Ms. Zhou Xun?"
Several people at the scene laughed. This question was really a trap.
Many people were watching this episode in front of the TV, including Liu Yifei and her daughter.
Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli sat on the sofa with their chins in their hands.
I have been enjoying the show since its premiere and I don’t want to miss a single scene.
Liu Xiaoli chuckled: "Now let's see how Li Chen answers."
Liu Yifei didn't even turn her head and said without thinking: "I'm not worried. There is no question he can't answer."
Liu Xiaoli remembered something and said, "By the way, Old Chen is having a birthday at the end of the month, and I asked you to invite Li Chen along as well."
Liu Yifei was stunned and looked at her mother suspiciously.
"Don't look at me. Old Chen can't keep being so awkward with Li Chen."
Liu Yifei didn't think much about it and smiled: "This is the best. I will call Li Chen when the time comes. He won't dare not come."
After saying that, he turned around and continued watching TV.
In the studio, Li Chen was prepared for this kind of question.
"As for who has better acting skills, there is no answer to this question. After all, the role in each play must fit the character."
"If Zhou Xun were to play the role of Ruan Lingyu, it would be difficult for her to convey the same flavor." "Similarly, if Zhang Manyu were to play the role of Painted Skin, she wouldn't necessarily create an unforgettable Xiao Wei."
"But if we talk about the rank of best actress, even if she doesn't have the Silver Lion in Venice."
"Zhang Manyu is also the well-deserved top 1."
"The top two are Xiao Fangfang, Gong Li, Zhou Xun and others."
Wang Zhiwen, Chen Baoguo and Su Youpeng all nodded in approval.
Zhang Manyu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Stop, stop, just listen to what he says, he is my fan."
The atmosphere in the studio was relaxed and cheerful, without the tension of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards just now.
"Director Li's words are very fair. What do Wang Zhiwen and Chen Baoguo think of this film, The Whistleblower?"
Wang Zhiwen crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees and smiled, "It was not easy to shoot "The Sound of Wind."
"Especially the torture scenes, Zhang Manyu, Zhou Xun, and friends all felt a lot of pressure."
"What I want to say is that although this is a play, the sacrifices and sufferings our ancestors endured must have been even greater than those of the past."
"I hope that on the 30th, more people will go to the cinema to watch The Sound of Wind and witness these cruel times."
"Just like the song in "Ten Years on Earth", I walked to the execution ground with a burning and stubborn heart, and I didn't have time to tell how exciting the story was."
Jingwei kept nodding, and Chen Baoguo said, "The various punishments in The Sound of Wind may be too cruel."
"But the real period was probably even more cruel, apart from the cruelty of the punishment."
“The Sound of Wind combines the logical rigor of a suspense film with the fascinating story.”
"Personally, I think this is a masterpiece that cannot be missed. It may be a milestone in the history of spy movies."
Jingwei nodded and said, "Okay, let's watch a wonderful clip of "The Sound of Wind" next."
During the break between trailers, two directors from the film channel's program department and film purchasing department entered the studio.
Jingwei introduced Li Chen and several actors: "Director Li, these two are Director Tang and Director Hu from our film channel."
After a few people exchanged greetings, Director Hu from the film purchasing department smiled.
"Director Li, the station has already decided to purchase The Bow and The Sound of Wind."
"You can't raise the price arbitrarily, okay?"
"What are you talking about, Director Hu? The cooperation between Rongchen Pictures and the Movie Channel has remained unchanged for at least fifty years, right?"
"Hahaha, Director Li said it well, it has not changed in fifty years"
Yang Siwei drove back to his residence and updated the content of his blog.
"Yixin Media is about to welcome three newcomers: Zhu Yilong, Jiang Shuying, and Deng Jiajia."
"On October 1st, Yi Xin Media will hold a signing ceremony for the three newcomers at the Pullman Wanda Plaza."
“We welcome relatives, friends and media friends to come.”
Soon, there were comments under Yang Siwei's blog, which was then reprinted by several media outlets.
Oriental Daily News
"Yi Xin Media has signed another newcomer. Following the signing of Zhang Yi, Yi Xin Media President Yang Siwei announced it on his personal blog today."
"We will sign three more people in a row. Coincidentally, they are from three major universities."
"Beijing Film Academy Zhu Yilong, Shanghai Theatre Academy Jiang Shuying, Media China Deng Jiajia."
There are messages from both celebrities and netizens under Yang Siwei’s blog.
"Jiang Shuying from Shanghai Theatre Academy? Is this the fulfillment of Director Li's promise to Shanghai Theatre Academy?"
"Deng Jiajia? Mr. Yang takes care of both public and private matters? He never forgets his junior sister from his alma mater. He is indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness."
"Why is there no Central Academy of Drama? No, the first brother is Deng Chao from the Central Academy of Drama. Good boy, Mr. Yang is treating everyone equally."
Fan Qiaoqiao called immediately.
"I also asked Deng Jiajia, and she said she had an appointment. I thought it was the contract with the producer of "The Perfect Match"."
"It turns out that Mr. Yang took over the business."
"Haha, I don't know about that. I won't compete with you for a good man like Huayi and Chengtian did."
"That would push your boss, Fan, into a dead end."
