Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 520 Starting Ceremony and Awards

Author: Best Man

The startup ceremony is an activity that has only emerged in the world's entertainment industry in the past ten years.

Speaking of which, it has something to do with David Cole, the great director of the century.

Originally there was no opening ceremony in Hollywood, only the opening press conference, but usually it is held when big companies are working on large-scale film projects, and it is just a press conference, and some media reporters come to talk about it. , or letting the male and female protagonists stir up scandals. This behavior is also a kind of publicity warm-up, allowing the audience to understand some aspects of the movie in advance and increase some exposure.

However, as David Cole entered the industry, he began to hold opening ceremonies similar to religious blessing ceremonies in the projects he led.

That is to say, clergy are invited to hold ceremonies such as mass or consecration and worship of gods, mainly for the cameras and secondly for the people.

At first, everyone thought this was a quirk of David Cole, and there were many jokes about him at that time. However, as the young director achieved repeated success, people in the industry began to notice this situation.

So there is an example of learning from David Cole and praying to God before turning on the phone.

Some of these are successful and some are unsuccessful, but the people of the White Eagle Federation are inherently superstitious, and the entertainment industry is an area hardest hit by superstition, so this behavior of holding startup ceremonies to pray for blessings has gradually spread.

Until now, all North American film crews, including TV drama crews, have to hold a start-up ceremony before filming. The main reason is to spend money to buy peace of mind. If other film crews do what others do, if you don't do it, it will make the crew and staff What do the actors think?

If you don't do it but something goes wrong while shooting, it will definitely create an atmosphere of panic and make it difficult for the shooting process to proceed smoothly.

Such a trend has also added a relatively stable income to the clergy and even some sects of various sects in North America, making these guys have a good impression of the great director of the century.

Xie Zihao doesn't know much about the crew of The Lord of the Rings in Time and Space, but in his impression, there didn't seem to be any big publicity activities in the early stages of filming. Of course, it could also be activities abroad. Xie Zihao doesn't know about it. After all, he is not in the entertainment industry. people.

But this world is different. With two popular actors, Tse Zihao and Sophia Cole, joining the cast, even if the director doesn't say anything, the production company and investors behind it will seize this opportunity and take advantage of it.

After all, the popularity of these two people is at the peak of their popularity. After Lost was released, it not only made a lot of money at the box office, reaching a box office revenue that many literary and artistic films can only dream of, but also gained a lot in terms of awards.

Although the two highest federal awards, the Film Academy Award and the Film and Television Association Award, certainly do not belong to Sophia and Xie Zihao, after all, they are too young, and they are new directors and actors. In the federal film and television industry where seniority is a serious issue, , unless it is a top-notch work that is at its peak in one place, at their age, they will definitely not be able to win awards such as the Director Award, Best Picture Award and Best Actor Award. There are only secondary awards such as Best Cinematography and Best Editing.

But in Lost in this drama, Xie Zihao and Sophia are the male and female protagonists respectively, so they cannot shamelessly apply for the Best Supporting Actor award. Therefore, these two awards are destined to miss them. Being able to get relevant nominations is considered to be taking care of the newcomers.

Even those with a discerning eye can know that the films that have won important awards are probably not as exciting as Lost in terms of directing level and acting skills, but this rule that has existed for nearly a hundred years will not be broken easily for anyone, even if Sophia is a great director

It is also unlikely that his daughter will be born.

On the contrary, in recent months, Lost can be said to have gained a lot from other secondary film awards and European film awards.

First, the Best Director Award was awarded to Sophia at the Korean Film Academy Awards, and the Best Actor Award for Xie Zihao, also known as Best Actor, was accepted by Sophia because he had no time. These are the two most important awards that Lost won.

After all, the Korean Film Academy Award is a film selection award second only to the three major international film festivals in Europe. If it were not for the three major international film festivals in Europe, the film must have premiered at the film festival to participate in the selection, and the time cannot be missed.

, I’m afraid Lost is likely to win further international awards.

Wei Dake also felt sorry for his daughter in front of Xie Zihao many times. He has already attended the three major European film festivals in recent years, winning two Best Directors and one Best Picture. If his daughter can also win one of them, then his father will

The two women have jointly won international awards and recognition, which will definitely become a great story in the entertainment industry.

The reason why she did not choose not to release it temporarily but to participate in the three major European film festivals is that Sofia didn't think too much when filming this movie, and she didn't have that much confidence in her directing ability. She just wanted to prove herself at that time.

His ability is to get rid of the dark history of participating in his father's movie and then being criticized.

Moreover, Lost originated from a fantasy of Sofia, and it is not the kind of art film made specifically for awards.

I just didn't expect that after the movie was filmed, it turned out to be an unexpected success.

However, Sophia herself is self-aware and knows that her directing skills are not as high as those people praised her. She believes that the reason why the film "Lost" can be a great success is not only the contributions of several assistant directors and photographers who helped, but also the success of the film.

The actor's acting skills and appearance account for not only half, but at least 40% of the reason.

After all, when she watched the film for the first time, she couldn't help but be fascinated by Xie Zihao's extremely handsome appearance and mysterious charm.

This time Sophia plays the role of an elf princess, but she is not in a relationship with the elf prince played by Xie Zihao, but falls in love with a human prince, and then chooses to give up the power and lifespan of an elf and spend her life with him as a human.

lifetime.

Although there is no emotional scene with Xie Zihao, it is still a gimmick for the two to participate in the same movie again, so the organizers have invited a lot of media this time to prepare for a big one to make this movie project popular before filming.

.

Director Peter Jackson also specifically consulted Xie Zihao and Sophia for their opinions on inviting clergy to preside over the opening ceremony.

After all, one of these two is an investor, and the other is the daughter of an investor, and they are both celebrities who have become famous in the past year. Although several other actors have acting skills, their status is higher than these two.

It exists, but in terms of popularity, it is really not as popular as the two popular newcomers.

"I have a candidate to recommend, but I wonder if a director from the shamanistic sect who advocates nature can accept it?"

In response to the director's inquiry, Xie Zihao did not let anyone else take advantage of him and recommended his girlfriend to come and host the opening ceremony.

Peter Jackson was a little surprised when he heard this, but as a die-hard fan of fantasy literature, he certainly knew what shamanism was.

"Shamanic priests? Mr. Sherman, are you talking about the priests of the indigenous tribes?"

Xie Zihao shook his head slightly and said with a smile:

"No, she is a friend of mine. She is a spiritual medium and a shaman who believes in the way of nature. She is not from an aboriginal tribe, and she is different from those swindlers on the market!"

After asking about the other person's situation in detail and knowing that the shaman's father was an executive in the Upper Golden State area, Peter Jackson immediately decided that this was him, even if the other person was a bad charlatan and a liar.

Because of this relationship, he will also choose to have a relationship with this person.

The director agreed, and Sophia Cole, who was in the same camp as Xie Zihao, naturally would not object, so it was decided that Melinda Wilson, a psychic and shaman, would preside over the opening ceremony of the film crew.
