Chapter 1046 Mr. An, Marry Me! (Seeking monthly ticket)
“There is a difference between good acting and good acting. Good acting relies on technique, like… well, Zhang Songwen, but good acting does not necessarily rely on technique, like Wang Shunliu.”

While waving the carving knife in his hand, Hao Yun talked to Zhang Yi about acting.

Zhang Yi is an actor from Heidou Media. He has appeared in “Soldier Assault” and “My Captain, My Regiment” and shined brightly.

Later, he participated in many films produced by Heidou Media.

Most of the time he played supporting roles until he became one of the three male protagonists in “The Sun Also Rises”.

He also starred in “Dou Dou” with Hao Yunjia’s Hei Dou.

The next time I join a crew, I will probably be starring in “The Longest Day in Chang’an”.

Zhang Yi’s acting skills are highly recognized within Heidou Media. He, Duan Yihong, Zhang Songwen, Huang Bo, and Wang Shunliu are all listed as “not handsome but great acting skills”.

However, there is absolutely no problem for Hao Yun to teach Zhang Yi how to act.

Even without talking about his identity as a director, his acting skills are much better than Zhang Yi’s. It can even be said that his acting skills are no worse than anyone else in the company.

Zhang Yi listened very carefully and was as well-behaved as a primary school student.

“Good acting requires technique, but good acting does not necessarily rely on technique. For example, when playing the role of Kangxi, Mr. Jiao Huang completely immersed himself in it. His gestures and movements, as well as his pauses in dialogue with some thought, were so natural that the audience felt that he was Kangxi himself.

As for Mr. Chen Daoming, he seemed to be using his ultimate moves all the time when acting, releasing his domineering aura. In the end, everyone said that he acted well, but I felt that his acting was all traces…”

“Yes, Teacher Jiao Huang performed better than Teacher Chen Daoming.” Zhang Yimeng nodded.

What’s the point of talking about reason at this time? Even if the boss said that his acting skills were better than Jiao Huang and Chen Daoming, he would not have any objection.

“So, you have to know yourself and then choose which path to take. Zhang Songwen’s path is not suitable for you. If your acting skills were not bad, you could carry the play “Black Coal, Thin Ice”.”

Hao Yun didn’t want to see Zhang Yi go astray.

Zhang Songwen is the chief acting teacher of Heidou Media. Many times he goes to the crew to be the casting director, acting teacher, and then plays a supporting role. His total pay is often more than that of the leading actor.

His acting skills are indeed good, but he is good on a technical level.

Unless you meet the right one, it is difficult to create a character that is memorable.

“I’m not in a hurry either…” Zhang Yi wanted to cry but had no tears.

The script of “Black Coal, Thin Ice” was awesome, he loved it so much, and he didn’t expect Hao Yun actually considered him to play Zhang Zili.

“This is not a matter of urgency. We need to explore carefully. The company will definitely make large-scale movies next time. Don’t miss the opportunity.”

Hao Yun pointed to a hammer and Zhang Yi handed it to him with great insight.

The hammer hit the awl, and a few hits caused ice chips to fly everywhere.

In addition to the group of people brought by Hao Yun, “Fireworks in the Daytime” also invited many local people.

In order to speed up the filming progress, Hao Yun, a traitor who had a budget of 30 million yuan and was responsible for the overspending, hired many people to help and solved a few employment problems in the local area.

Even though I only worked for more than a month, the salary I earned was equivalent to working for a year.

Among them are many ice sculpture masters.

The most famous thing in the Ice City is probably the Ice Sculpture Festival. Since the first Ice Sculpture Fair was held in 1964, ice sculpture exhibitions have been held almost every year. In addition, the Ice City also holds an annual Ice and Snow Festival based on the fair, and designates January 1th of each year as the “Harbin Ice and Snow Festival”.

Hao Yun was very sorry that he couldn’t see the whole picture of the Ice and Snow Festival. He only saw some ice sculptures in front of some shops.

However, when he learned about the ice sculpture properties from the local workers in the crew, he immediately changed his mindset.

Since he couldn’t stay until January to see the ice sculptures, why not learn to make them himself?

After you learn how to do it, you can show it to the little crabs during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, the ice sculpture master who came to work as an extra to earn some extra money had an additional task: bring all the ice sculpture tools and teach the director how to make ice sculptures.

Hao Yun learns very quickly.

From material selection and cutting, to chainsaws, planers, ice shovels, ice picks…he can learn all kinds of skills as long as you are willing to teach.

The news that the great director Hao Yun learned ice carving from an ice carving master quickly spread throughout the ice carving industry in the Ice City.

Rumors tend to get distorted as they spread.

There are few rumors that remain authentic.

I don’t know why, but some people said that Hao Yun was going to make a movie that showcases the art of ice sculpture.

This…really not!
But these ice sculpture masters don’t care, this… is really possible.

If the art of ice sculpture could be made into a movie, it would be the greatest recognition of their craftsmanship.

Therefore, ice sculpture masters would come to visit the crew every now and then.

Master Yang Shichang, one of the founders of ice sculpture art, braved the wind and snow to come to the crew.

He didn’t allow anyone to disturb Hao Yun, and just watched Hao Yun carving while explaining the play to the actors.

It was not until the break that someone told Hao Yunyang that he was visiting.

Hao Yun got a huge portion of ice sculpture attributes right away.

Naturally, I knew the other party’s intention, but he is not only good at ice sculpture. Yang Shichang is also a professor at the School of Architecture of Harbin Institute of Technology, vice chairman of the Heilongjiang Arts and Crafts Association, and director of the Expert Committee of the China Ice and Snow Art Training Base.

“I heard that Mr. Hao has been studying ice sculpture art recently. I brought some literary works on this subject with me, which I can give you as a reference.”

Yang Shichang was full of sincerity and collected a lot of information.

If Hao Yun wanted to write a script about this, he could save a lot of preparation work.

“This… is actually a misunderstanding!”

Hao Yun was helpless, but unfortunately his rebuttal was very weak. He was a big director, and he still had a carving knife in his hand.

Even if he said that he had learned well and was going home to take care of his children, no one would believe him.

“Mr. Hao’s ice dragon sculpture is very lifelike.”

Yang Shichang’s praise was not insincere. It was said that the director had only studied for more than a week. If he had no basic skills and could carve like this without any help, then he could only be said to be a genius.

Newbies usually carve simpler ones like rabbits and puppies, but Hao Yun carves a two or three meter long ice dragon, even with scales visible. Do you still dare to say that you didn’t put in any effort?
“I am ashamed, ashamed…” Hao Yun was speechless.

“If Mr. Hao can really make a movie about the Ice and Snow Festival, the whole of Harbin will thank you, and we will fully cooperate.”

Yang Shichang didn’t care what Hao Yun meant originally, as long as Hao Yun had this intention now, it would be enough.

Hao Yun is not the only director to encounter this kind of thing.

It is inevitable for the crew to deal with the Zheng family and enterprises. If this relationship is not handled well, a lot of trouble will arise.

Of course, not all directors can come across this.

If you don’t have any quality and are not a well-known director, people may not pay any attention to you.

“It’s not impossible to make a movie…”

Hao Yun stroked the ice dragon he had carved with his own hands. He even invested in alternative martial arts films like Xu Haofeng’s, so what’s wrong with a movie related to the Ice and Snow Festival?

Now he is much closer to becoming the godfather of the film industry. If he is able to, supporting some films that can reflect Chinese culture will help increase his personal prestige.

“Thank you so much. Please let me know if there is anything we can cooperate with.” Yang Shichang also knew how big a favor this was.

“Don’t worry, if there is any difficulty, I will definitely seek help. When the time comes, let him play Zhang Yi, a native of Bingcheng.”

Hao Yun also knew that the other party owed him a favor. He was a commercial film director and ran a film company, not a charity company. Since he had done the favor, he had to find a way to get it back.

He could now understand Huang Danan a little.

The reason why this guy often plays in bad movies is because he finds it hard to refuse favors.

“Zhang Yi, right? You are the young talent of our Ice City!”

Yang Shichang held Zhang Yi’s hand with a look of relief and kindness on his face, which made Zhang Yi feel embarrassed.

The benefit of agreeing to make a movie about the Ice and Snow Festival is that Yang Shichang often introduces some ice sculpture masters to tell stories to Hao Yun.

Movies can add elements of ice sculptures, but the plot itself is more important.

If the plot is not good, few people will watch it, and it will naturally not promote the Ice City’s Ice and Snow Festival.

Hao Yun himself didn’t have time to make this movie.

He intends to let those in the Young Directors Program take the lead.

What I didn’t expect was that Cao Dun, the director of photography of “Black Coal, Thin Ice”, would volunteer. He looked at the photos of the Ice and Snow Festival brought by Yang Shichang and was amazed at the beauty of the ice and snow world.

Decided to make a movie about “ice sculpture art” and “redemption”.

The main focus is on beautiful pictures, and as for music, he plans to use Hao Yun’s instrumental music, which will surely be a top-notch sensory enjoyment.

The script was handed over to Cao Dun and his Black Bean Media’s screenwriter team.

The investment is 20 million yuan, with Heidou Media and Bingcheng each contributing half. The director is Cao Dun and the lead actor is Zhang Yi. The plan is to start shooting during this year’s Ice and Snow Festival.

By the time “Black Coal, Thin Ice” is completed, the original team can continue filming this new movie.

In October, Hao Yun released two movies, one is “The Witch” and the other is “Manchester by the Sea”.

“Manchester by the Sea” is an imported film and its screening schedule is not too high.

Since some of the cultures there don’t quite fit in with China’s ideas, there were a lot of applause, but it wasn’t as enthusiastic as in Europe and the United States.

However, on the Heimi movie software which was formed by Douban and Time.com, “Manchester by the Sea” still received a high score of 8.5.

If Hao Yun didn’t have so many haters and the movie wasn’t too “depressing”, the score might have been higher.

Yes, most people were “depressed” by Hao Yun.

Hao Gou’s reputation has been further enhanced. Now everyone starts calling him Hao Gou with gnashing of teeth.

However, film critics generally gave it high praise.

It is believed that among Hao Yun’s many films, this movie has reached an extremely high level in terms of script structure and directing techniques, and fully meets the “master” standards evaluated by foreign media.

Compared with the super directors in China, Hao Yun is not inferior at all.

As for “The Witch” starring An Xiaoxi, the movie was released during the National Day holiday.

Thanks to its strong cast and powerful distribution, the film directly earned 2.2 million yuan in box office in the mainland.

Although Hao Yun neither directed the film nor acted in it, An Xiaoxi carried the box office revenue of this film alone.

Chen Guanxi proved with facts that he could not carry the box office.

The movie “Ocean Paradise” starring him, Li Lianjie and others only earned more than 10 million at the box office.

However, if the result is 2.2 million, then “The Witch”, which cost 8000 million, will not make much money even if it does not lose money.

The success of “The Witch” is not phenomenal.

But if you compare it, the movie “Under the Hawthorn Tree” released at about the same time only achieved a box office revenue of 1.44 million.

That’s the national master’s movie!
There is also Xu Ke’s “The Mystery of the Phantom Flame”, which brought together a star lineup including Liu Furong, Liu Jialin, Li Xuexue, Liang Jiahui, and Deng Xun. Bernard spent all his resources on publicity and promotion, but only got a box office of 2.8 million yuan.

Directed by Lu Yang and with An Xiaoxi as the main star, a box office of 2.2 million is already very good.

Xu Ke’s “The Empire Strikes Back” cost 1.3 million yuan to make, far more than the 8000 million yuan of “The Witch”.

Moreover, the box office of “The Witch” is not only good in mainland China, but also in Bangbang, it has earned an astonishing 2440 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 1.6 million yuan, and in Japan, it has also earned over 5000 million yuan. The box office in Taiwan and Hong Kong combined exceeds million yuan.

The global total box office exceeded 7 million yuan.

Moreover, “The Witch” brought An Xiaoxi much more than just box office revenue.

She no longer needs to rely on box office to prove herself.

“The Witch” changed her personal image from youthful and fairy-like in the early days to a more aggressive one.

The violent kick that kicked Chen Guanxi into the wall was an understatement of one man beating ten men, even Ye Wen from Zhen Kung Fu was not as good as it.

Many related emoticons have also been created on the Internet.

Comments from netizens were all one-sided praise, so An Xiaoxi didn’t need to worry about the lack of popularity after her comeback. Even before she made a comeback, her popularity had already crushed all the other female stars.

Colleagues were extremely angry, but they were afraid of Hao Yun’s current power, so no one dared to buy an article to slander An Xiaoxi.

I can only watch netizens praising An Xiaoxi.

Ys Lese: Too violent. Xixi looks harmless and a little cute, but I didn’t expect she is so good at fighting.

I love meat rice: I am S-level because the highest is S, and you are S-level because you can only go to S! Mr. An is so handsome!
Qian Yu fans: She was innocent and pitiful in the early stage, and shrewd and calculating in the later stage. An Xiaoxi’s acting skills are really different from before.

Gemini Throne: Sister, marry me!

Ningshenxiang: So cool, I didn’t expect An Xiaoxi has this side of him.

Under the Ancient Bridge and Moon: I originally thought that Chen Guanxi and An Xiaoxi were the official couple of this movie, but the next second he was beaten into the wall and couldn’t get out.

Crispy Shrimp: I feel like this kind of supernatural film can be made many times, I’m looking forward to “The Witch 2”.

Beat the Bald Man in the Resurrection Match: I heard that An Xiaoxi will go to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. I don’t know how her recovery is going. I look forward to An Xiaoxi’s comeback after giving birth.

Shi Xiu: I always feel that our President An works harder when shooting other people’s movies. Is it because Hao Gou only pampers her?

Fengyu Piaobo: No wonder Hao Yun doesn’t dare to mess around, it turns out he is afraid of death.

Why get excited: An Xiaoxi and I had a 30:70 fight. She hit me in the head with three punches.

The Demon Butterfly of the Zen Temple: It’s a pity that the role of Chen Guanxi would have been played by Hao Gou. I really want to see Hao Gou being beaten up by Xixi.

Mu Xixi Renren: +1. The way he kicked down several walls and then pulled the trigger without hesitation at the head was so exciting to watch.

Urban Little Demon: I sympathize with Hao Gou. Every day, I can imagine the scene of Hao Gou being kicked off the bed.

Sagittarius who is losing weight: I suddenly don’t hate Hao Gou so much anymore. Who knows if Hao Gou also gets beaten every day like this.

Horrible Homo erectus No. 237: Come on, don’t forget that the script was written by Hao Yun, and he is the producer and the movie is in his control.

Lang Huo: First it was “Aftershock”, and now it’s “The Witch”. I can’t tell which direction An Xiaoxi wants to transform in, but she is definitely going to transform.

Death Void: An Xiaoxi is suitable for the role of a female fighter, but based on my understanding of Hao Gou, he will definitely not be willing to let his woman become a female fighter, as it hurts the body. Everyone please watch and cherish it. I guess Hao Yun will let An Xiaoxi play the role of a Qing Yi and win the Best Actress award. This young couple both have big ambitions.

Hao Yun did not expect that “The Witch” would be so effective.

In November, he left the crew of “Fireworks in the Daytime” and went home to accompany An Xiaoxi to attend the Golden Horse Awards.

Although she has a hit drama to support her, people would not look down on An Xiaoxi even if she walked the red carpet alone, but Hao Yun still took time out to accompany her.

This is An Xiaoxi’s official comeback.

It is also the focus of publicity for this year’s Golden Horse Awards, and there will surely be many media and fans attending.

It would be too undignified for our General An to walk the red carpet alone.

Many of the films released by Hao Yun this year, such as “Source Code” and “Manchester by the Sea”, were produced by Hollywood and could not be registered for the Golden Horse Awards, but he released a lot of good films at the end of last year.

For example, “Sword Rain”, “Let the Bullets Fly” and “A Simple Life” were all released after September last year.

Hao Yun was nominated for Best Actor for his role in “A Simple Life”, but his competitors at the same time were also very strong, such as Ethan Ruan from “Monga”, Ni Dahong from “Dialysis”, and Qin Hao from “A Night of Love”.

He was not sure whether he could win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

An Xiaoxi was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for “Aftershock” and has a high chance of winning the award.

Not only that, she was also nominated for Best Actress for “Sword Rain”, but the probability of her winning this award is relatively small, and she is likely to just be a runner-up.

This is not the first time she has been nominated for Best Actress.

Instead, there is no pressure.

Also participating in the Golden Horse Awards are films related to Heidou Media, such as “Doudou” and “Twelve Citizens”.

Hao Yunxian stayed in the capital for one night, well, almost one night.

The next day, I set off for Taiwan with An Xiaoxi.

Since successfully organizing and hosting the “Directors Association Conference”, Hao Yun’s status in the Chinese-language film industry has skyrocketed.

Even the way people treat him is different.

The capital and film moguls in Taiwan even hosted a banquet for Hao Yun, which was scheduled for noon when Hao Yun arrived in Taiwan.

There is no way, Hao Yun has to leave tomorrow morning, leaving no time for everyone to get together.

No one cared about Hao Yun asking Gui Lunmei to express her opinion.

The capital doesn’t care, and the bosses don’t care either. As long as Hao Yun doesn’t mention it to his face, they want to pretend they don’t know more than anyone else.

If it turns out that it is the will of the higher-ups, it will be even more difficult for Taiwanese capital to make money.

As for some celebrities not being able to make money there, what does it have to do with them?

On the Golden Horse Awards red carpet in the afternoon, Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi, Chen Guanxi, and Zhou Jielun appeared together, and the scene was almost overwhelmed by cheers.

The movie “Those Years” has a far-reaching influence. It not only spawned a large number of youth romance movies in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, but also witnessed the friendship between these four people.

Later they collaborated again on “20 Again”, but its influence was not as great as “Those Years”.

Jay Chou probably had some misunderstandings about Hao Yun, but he was actually very conflicted about whether to make public statements or not.

There is nothing wrong with his statement. He identifies with Chinese culture and considers himself a Chinese.

However, he is not alone in Taiwan. He has many relatives, friends and fans. It is not easy for him to make such a decision.

And people like him also feel aggrieved.

Otherwise, you can just take over this side, so that the young people here don’t have to be brainwashed all day long.

With Chen Guanxi acting as a peacemaker, Jay Chou, who had no conflicts with them, was naturally dragged along to the Golden Horse Awards.

But his condition was not very good, and he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes that could not be covered up even with makeup.

the reason is simple.

Jay Chou and his new girlfriend Kun Ling recently broke up.

Not long ago, he received an anonymous letter, which contained all the negative information about his girlfriend.

The love was not deep to begin with, not to mention there was such dark material.

Jay Chou gave his girlfriend some money and the two officially announced their breakup.

Chen Guanxi got married and had a son, Hao Yun got married and had a daughter, so why was it so difficult for him?

It doesn’t matter if I can’t meet someone I like.

Even the desire to make do is not possible.

Therefore, he often drank to relieve his sorrow in the past few days after returning from a concert in Chengdu.

The four of them walked together, with the advantage of being in their home turf and the heat of their recent breakup. Jay Chou was indeed still the most handsome guy. Many of his fans were cheering and celebrating at the scene, and Hao Yun even heard the sound of firecrackers.

Jay’s fans probably hope that he will die alone.

The second is An Xiaoxi who just made a comeback.

“The Witch” is also very popular in Taiwan, with a box office of about 30 million RMB, which is a very good result for this subject matter.

Chen Guanxi is also pretty good, he is the first of the new generation in Hong Kong.

This time he was beaten up by An Xiaoxi in “The Witch”, so he could gain some sympathy points.

As for Hao Yun…the one he heard most was Hao Gou.

The media interview was fairly standard, with questions focused on Jay Chou’s relationship breakup and An Xiaoxi’s comeback.

The red carpet host is not stupid. Hao Yun is now a big shot, so it is impossible for him to ask questions that he shouldn’t ask.

The results of this award ceremony were pretty good.

“Let the Bullets Fly” won the Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography awards.

“Sword Rain” won the Best Action Design Award.

“Aftershock” won the Best Supporting Actress Award, which was given to An Xiaoxi. It was also the second Best Supporting Actress award won by An Xiaoxi, and it was more important than the previous one.

“Twelve Citizens” and “Bean Bean” did not win any awards.

“A Simple Life” won the Best Actress and Best Director awards, Cheng Pei-pei won the Best Actress award for the second time, and Hao Yun also won a prestigious award.

However, the title of Best Actor still passed him by.

The Best Actor award was given to Ethan Ruan from “Monga”. This actor, who started out as a star in idol dramas, has acting skills when he exploded.

Hao Yun’s “A Simple Life” is still a little weak.

Moreover, Taiwanese local films were almost wiped out, with the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress awards all going to films from outside Taiwan.

If this Best Actor award is given to Hao Yun again, he will really be shaved bald.

This is something the Golden Horse Awards is very reluctant to see.

At the luncheon, Huang Jianye, a member of the jury, offered a glass of wine to apologize, but he did not say it clearly at the time. Now that he missed out on the Best Actor award, Hao Yun finally understood what he meant.

Hao Yun had nothing to say about this.

After all, he is the director of the Theater Art Institute, the director of the Taiwan Film Archive, the chief planner of the Wanbei Film Festival, and a full-time associate professor at the Drama Department and Film Creation Institute of Wanbei University of the Arts. He personally toasted him, a young man under 30 years old, and gave him both face and courtesy.

The best director is Li Zi.

This award is more important than the Best Picture, and the Golden Horse Award will not be given to outsiders easily.

However, last year the Golden Horse Awards gave the Best Director award to Hao Yun for his film Hello! Mr. Tree, and this year the award was given to Hao Yun again, truly putting Hao Yun on a pedestal.

Perhaps, in their opinion, the Best Director award can better highlight Hao Yun’s status than the Best Actor award.

It can better reflect the sincerity of the Golden Horse Awards.

“A Simple Life” did not win the Best Actor award for Hao Yun, but it won Cheng Pei-pei the Best Actress awards at the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards, and it also won Hao Yun the Best Director awards at the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards.

This movie is absolutely amazing in terms of winning awards.

The decline of the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards can also be seen from a certain perspective. It is really difficult to find movies that meet their selection criteria.
