I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 345: Deeply Fearful (33)

What award can "Sunshine" win...

Shen Liang wasn't very sure.

The organizers just notified us to come and claim the prize, they don’t know the specific prizes either…

There are only two Chinese filmmakers on this year’s jury!

Shen Liang shook his head: "I don't know what award I can get..."

“Have you ever thought about winning an acting award?”

"…I definitely thought about it…" Shen Liang was very frank: "But I don't think it's possible. My acting skills are not strong enough…"

“I heard that you were the original screenwriter of A Sunny Day? What do you think of this movie?”

Shen Liang thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't remember where I saw this sentence: 'A good movie is like a movie without a screenwriter or director. Every character has their own life, and we are just passing by.' "A Sun" is a movie that follows this statement!"

"All three movies have grossed over 1 billion yuan. Have you ever thought about the box office of A Sun?"

“I have thought about that…”

"Over a billion?"

"Are you dreaming? Can this story make over 1 billion? I think it would be a great success if it could make over 100 million!"

Shen Liang was interviewed here, and others were also interviewed separately.

The main creators of the "Sunny Days" crew are here...

Directed by Rao Xiaozhi, starring Chen Daoming, Shen Liang, Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Chen Jin, and even Bai Lu...

After all, you can win a prize!

Yes, the awards at the Shanghai Film Festival are not very important, but it is an international A-level film festival after all, so at least it has some reputation!
As soon as Hu Ge won the Golden Goblet Award at the Shanghai Film Festival, there were a lot of soft articles saying things like "The pattern of "born in the 80s" has changed, Hu Ge, Wang Baoqiang and Lei Jiayin are on a three-way tie", "So exciting! Hu Ge won the Golden Goblet Award and finally realized his dream of becoming the best actor. People who work hard will eventually succeed"...

Although his award-winning film "Not in Vain" flopped at the box office, his fans all said, "art films don't need box office success." I wonder how dark the hearts of those who always blame others for their poor box office performance must be!
Ahem...

……

Shanghai Grand Theatre.

The closing ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival is usually held here.

Walking to the theater lobby, several people sat down one by one...

Shen Liang had a good attitude and never thought he could win the award!
He really wasn't pretending, he was in a very relaxed mood.

He knows his own level. Without PR, the chances of him winning the Best Actor award are basically zero...

"A Sun" is only his third movie!

When he performed, he didn’t know anything about acting, but at least he had no skills…

After all, I'm not that kind of performing genius.

What kind of person is called a genius?

For example, Xia Yu (Sunny Days), who made his film debut and defeated the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival;

For example, Taylor Pucci (Thumb Sucker), who broke the record for the youngest winner of the Berlin Film Festival...

They have a natural ability to root themselves in an image and make it shine.

Shen Liang didn’t think he had that ability…

Moreover, the so-called talented actor is not determined by his performance, but by other factors outside of the movie, as well as some luck.

In "A Sun", Shen Liang is not the absolute protagonist!
Although his character has a growth line, the dramatic tension lies more in Xiao Zhan and Chen Daoming...

Rao Xiaozhi next to him was very nervous - although the films in the main competition unit of the Shanghai Film Festival rarely appear on hot searches, and there are even few reports, but Rao Xiaozhi has collected a lot of information and learned that "A Sun" has a high probability of winning the Best Director Award...

Rao Xiaozhi is a director with a strong sense of purpose. He made "A Sun" just to win an award...

If you have a desire for gain and loss, you will inevitably worry about gain and loss...

In fact, the recent film festivals of Beijing Film Festival and Shanghai Film Festival are quite good, but the main competition unit is really not good. Whether it is the Golden Goblet Award or the Temple of Heaven Award, the films are not favored by the three major European films. In terms of film quality, they are really incomparable with the three major European films. To break this situation... It is actually very simple. There is only one rule: foreign language films shortlisted for the main competition unit can be released directly without review, or released in art theaters!
We can tolerate everything, and we should also have the courage to accommodate the world...

Ahem...

Think more!
……

The award ceremony officially began. The Shanghai Film Festival imitated the three major European festivals and organized a large number of awards.

Similar to the Film Channel Media Awards, Asian Newcomer Awards…

Among them, the Film Channel Media Awards are purely set up for attention!

There were some good movies a few years ago, such as "Ocean's Heaven" and "The Piano in a Factory"...

It gets worse and worse. Tiny Times won the Best Picture Award, and Guo Jingming also won the Best New Director Award...

Therefore, Yue Yunpeng won the Best Actor award for his role in "The Gallant Heroes".

"I am grateful to the Film Channel for giving me this honor. The trophy is so heavy. I never thought I would get this honor in a movie. I used to shoot anything to make money, and then I reflected on myself for a while until I met this character who is very similar to myself."

Everyone in the audience had a cold expression...

"The Gallant Heroes" is the debut work of screenwriter Shu Huan who turned director. He also brought in Shao Dan, who was a photographer and had won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Cinematography, but had never been a director, to control the picture. The two of them co-directed the film.

Shu Huan’s representative works include “Love Call Transfer” and “Lost in Thailand”…

Shao Dan has many representative works, the most famous of which is probably "Heavenly Secret: Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains".

By the way, the producer of this drama is Guo Degang!
However, the crew never publicized this point - they also knew Guo Degang's reputation.

As for Yue Yunpeng, he is just like his master. He has said many times that he will not make bad movies, but what is the result?

There was a long and boring awards ceremony, and the Golden Goblet Award ceremony was left to the end. Shen Liang simply asked Rao Xiaozhi in a low voice: "Have you finished the script of "Lucky Key"?"

“Just a little bit more…”

"Don't be impatient, take your time... I have an idea..."

Rao Xiaozhi: "Do you have another idea?"

"It's a comedy idea. Three robbers robbed a money transport truck and accidentally hid in a bar called "Roman Holiday". They used weapons in their hands to hold various people in the bar hostage, and coerced the police to meet their various demands at the cost of hostages... The hostages went from being afraid of the robbers to finally getting along with them, and even wrote a petition for the robbers..."

“…There’s no way to sort this out…”

"It's okay, let's set the background in Southeast Asia..."

"…Wait for me to finish "Lucky Key" first…"

"Um...yo, the Golden Goblet Awards have begun!"

Just as he finished speaking, the winner of the first Golden Goblet Award, Best Screenwriter Award, was announced: "Shen Liang, Rao Xiaozhi...

Shen Liang looked stunned and couldn't believe it...

Xiao Zhan next to him grabbed Shen Liang's shoulders and shook him hard...

“…Let’s go, up there!”

Shen Liang hugged everyone from the "Sunny Day" crew, straightened his clothes, and then went on stage...

The same goes for Rao Xiaozhi.

After receiving the trophy and certificate, Rao Xiaozhi spoke first, which was a very serious acceptance speech, thanking the organizing committee, the Shanghai Film Festival, and the actors...

I guess he had memorized it in advance!

Such a sultry person...

Then there is Shen Liang.

He couldn't think of any nice words, so he just said some words of thanks as usual, and finally added: "I am deeply honored and will work harder in the future!"
