December 2007.

"Butterfly Effect" progressed very quickly, especially after Wang Meng returned.

There are three newcomers in the crew, all of which are handsome guys, Li Yifeng, Jing Boran and Zhang Chao.

The three of them worked hard, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and served as supporting actors and studied on-site. They would ask old actors if they didn't understand.

The crew knew that this was Wang Meng's arrangement and was very enthusiastic about the three of them. They did not reserve the gift of all the money to the three of them.

On December 5, the vice chairman of the organizing committee of the 44th Golden Horse Awards came to the crew of "Butterfly Effect" and solemnly invited Wang Meng to attend the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony on December 8.

Wang Meng said that he would definitely be there and would also bring the crew of "Painted Skin".

Wang Meng is very lucky, and he had a good chance of winning the best director this year.

However, this year's competitors are too strong. Ang Lee participated with "Lust and Caution" and Feng Xiaogang participated with "Assembly". Fortunately, Chen Kexin's "The Verdict" is scheduled for next year.

Wang Meng was very strange. How could the "Assembly" that originally shined in 2008 become the rival in 2007?

In this way, Zhang Hanyu and Tony Leung faced each other, and he and Ang Lee faced each other.

Not to mention Jiang Wen's "The Sun Rises As Always", You Naihai's "Stalking", and Er Dongsheng's "Disciples".

Of course, there are only four nominations at most, and the inertia of history is still strong. Feng Xiaogang is still very irresistible with the Golden Horse Awards. Except for Zhang Hanyu's Golden Horse male nomination, the rest are wiped out.

The person who competed with Wang Meng for the best director was Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution", Er Dongsheng's "Disciples", Jiang Wen's "The Sun Rises As Always".

The competition with Zhang Hanyu for the best actor is even more exaggerated: "The Falling Leaves Return to the Roots", Aaron Kwok "C+Detective", Tony Leung "Lust and Caution".

Almost a death group.

The most optimistic thing is Ang Lee's erotic precepts. "Lust erotic precepts" has won nearly 100 awards worldwide.

The most dazzling ones are the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture in Venice (winning), the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film (nominated), and the Golden Satellite (winning).

"Painted Skin" is not simple. Not to mention the artistic elements, the current box office record of Chinese films is maintained, with a global box office of 300 million US dollars, breaking nearly 100 records in various ways, and its influence exceeds that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The use of special effects made Chinese movies tell Hollywood that we can do it.

The showdown between these two will be the biggest highlight.

Speaking of which, as an artistic component, "Lust and Caution" has this great advantage. But whoever underestimates "Painted Skin" is also short-sighted.

"Painted Skin" has such a high reputation in the Chinese entertainment industry. If you give a few small awards without any pain, then? The Golden Horse Awards are waiting to be scolded, and the fans will never agree.

Anyway, the pounce is confused and there is no solution no matter how you do it.

This also made this Golden Horse showdown attract many media attention.

Now that warm-up has begun, all kinds of prophets have begun to shine.

On the contrary, in the nomination for the weight award, Zhou Xun's best actress was not much controversial, and he almost had to defend his title successfully.

In 2006, Zhou Xun won the Golden Horse Best Actress Award in "If Love", but it seems that in 2007, Zhou Xun was going to successfully defend her title with "Painted Skin".

Those who compete with Zhou Xun include Chen Chong's "Yi", Li Bingbing's "Yunshui Ballad", and Tang Wei's "Sex·Care". Among them, Chen Chong's call is also very high. It turns out that Chen Chong won the 44th Golden Horse heroine with "Yi". Is it now? It's difficult.

As for Tang Wei, his current reputation has become famous, and more people think it is a breakup. This has led to many people's abuse, and it is difficult to get the Golden Horse heroine.

In fact, Wang Meng admired Tang very much. Ang Lee did not allow a substitute. She and Liang were bare-handed. I heard that Carina Lau, who visited the set, was so angry that she had a conflict with Tony Leung (all of them understood).

In short, Zhou Xun is almost 80% sure to defend his title.

"With the arrival of the Golden Horse Awards, the showdown between "Painted Skin" and "Lust and Caution" is definitely the biggest highlight of this year. "Lust and Caution" has won almost all awards around the world, while "Painted Skin" has almost all box offices around the world. The single-round reputation may be worse than Ang Lee, but compared with "Lust and Caution" and "Painted Skin", "Lust and Caution" worldwide, "Lust and Caution" has always been inferior to the influence of commercial blockbusters.

According to the consistent awards, the literary film "Lust and Caution" has the greatest advantage. But "Painted Skin" is not a common sense commercial film? The honor and expansion, as well as popularity and leadership of "Painted Skin", cannot be compared with "Lust and Caution".

The best result is double yellow, but double yellow still cannot satisfy everyone, and it seems that the authority will decrease. As for what? Leave this problem to the Golden Horse Organizing Committee? This is definitely the biggest highlight."

——【Some commentator】.

"This year's Golden Horse Awards is definitely the most difficult year to predict. Various gatherings and various great directors and stars are thrust. While people are looking forward to it, they are also uneasy. Ang Lee, Wang Meng, Jiang Wen, Er Dongsheng, Tony Leung, Aaron Kwok, Tang Wei, Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing... and other great directors and stars compete for an award, and they are entangled and unable to judge. This year can be said to be a year of progress in Chinese films, and of course it is also the most entangled year for major award ceremony."

"It can be said that Tony Leung's Golden Horse Awards seems to be sure to win, and Zhou Xun's Golden Horse Awards are the same. The best director and best drama film are difficult to distinguish. Not to mention the great photographers, lighting engineers, action guides, editors, best newcomers... and other unpredictable existences. It is difficult to make a choice..."

Not to mention the ambiguity of various commentators and media, there are many online voting surveys.

It seems that Wang Meng belongs to young people and young Internet netizens. In all kinds of duels with Ang Lee, they are all steadily suppressed, and in various debates, fans crush everything.

King Kong fans, known as the "most rogue online group", fought everywhere, flooding many post bars and blogs that were not optimistic about Wang Meng.

Let everyone understand that the King Kong group is still the largest legion of the Internet.

This year, there are two films of DreamWorks fighting Golden Horse, "Painted Skin" and "Saw". However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that "Saw" is a foil, the most important award nomination, and Wang Meng's best script nomination.

If you want to talk about the award in "Painted Skin", Wang Meng is the most confident in it, which is definitely the Best Visual Effects Award.

This award is crushing, and no one thinks there will be any surprises, just for "Painted Skin".

Online, domestic netizens and some offensive netizens even made it clear that if Jinma disappoints them, they will definitely turn black in the future and will not pay attention to it.

"If you don't say anything else, don't use any art film as a shield. You just like "Painted Skin" and you like it. No matter how you say it, it's useless. If the Golden Horse Awards don't satisfy me, wait, and you will have good looks. I think you should follow the public opinion and look at the surveys of major websites. They are all "Painted Skin" to stabilize "Lust and Caution". If you don't understand what a porn/erotic/film is good, it's better to watch Japanese "artistic action movies".

——【Netizen】Grandson, my daughter, you uncle.

This guy said very directly that if you can’t watch “Lust and Caution” well, you might as well watch neon action movies.

Of course, such words are a little bit extreme.

"If you don't understand Zhang Ailing's greatness, don't think you are invincible. If you don't understand Ang Lee's unique art, don't slander a classic movie. "Lust and Caution" is very optimistic. Some people are watching it with a narrow perspective, but they simply don't understand art. As for "Painted Skin", I don't deny excellence, but he encountered the better "Lust and Caution"."

——【Netizen】Sniff the rose

Many literary and artistic styles, especially literary and artistic young women, are very optimistic about "Lust and Caution".

...

In the Butterfly crew, Xu Jinglei and Yu Feihong are very optimistic about "Lust and Caution", and even joked: - Director Wang, everyone says you are a friend of women. Now you are against the entire female group, so you need to conduct a deep review.

All kinds of prophecies and optimism are irrelevant.

On December 8, the 44th Golden Horse Awards ceremony began in the Taipei Dome.

[ps: It's the end of the month again. Last month, I brag that this month, it will be 1 million and it won't be completed. I don't have the motivation and the number of words has increased. The passion has faded. I hope I'll be in a better state next month. I also call for a subscription. The subscription is too miserable. It's not enough for Qidian to have a guaranteed fee of 600 yuan per month. It's embarrassing, so Qidian keeps losing money. Cough cough... It seems that I can stick to it until now, but in the author, I call me - one of the few stupid ones.]
