我的国庆节：一日行图片记录

Friday, Oct 2, 2009 4:11PM / Members only

昨天我很有幸被邀请到阅兵式现场观看。我微薄里昨天发了几张手机上拍的照，在这里再分享几张吧（我前两个星期刚开通了微薄，玩微薄的朋友们可以去这里看看——更新的比我这个博客快）由于拍摄角度有限以及我本来就看的眼花缭乱不想因拍照错过任何东西，所以没时间好好摆相机，只能到处狂“抓拍”一些我所看到的情景——晕得很，一会儿用相机拍，一会儿用手机拍，同时还得交换机器拍点DV 总之，昨天是我一生忘不了的一次经历。

节后要为我的新电影《形影不离》到南方看景去，所以这几天想好好休息一下（上半年一直没休息！）。在这里祝大家国庆和中秋节快乐！

由于交通管制，他们让我们去观礼台的嘉宾们先提前入住长安街边上的酒店。外面的街头完全没车！唯一意外是，从半夜1点多开始，外面的大广播就开始传播排练的声音——那天晚上只睡了4个小时哎，我说我那哥们儿怎么把朝向长安街的房间“让”给我了，呵呵

早上一早起来，看见参加国庆活动的学生们在楼下集合了

在阅兵式正式开始之前，我们一在往观礼台路上看到了即将上场的“预告”了，呵呵

好整齐啊

待命……

东方广场外面

从未见过的长安街

准备中

最后检查

各就各位，一切都准备好了……

留个纪念

听主席讲话

主席乘坐京城第一酷车：V02009

齐的太酷了！感觉像是PS过的吧

这个颜色好鲜艳，好看

拍这张的时候，我突然发现我忘了带防晒霜，因为脸已经被晒红了

不知道为什么，虽然我拍的这张照片很普通，但我很喜欢这张给我的感觉

天格外的蓝

热闹的结束！不知道你们看电视直播的有没有看到队伍中有一个小朋友的气球不小心提早放飞了

中午回酒店休息，晚上又出发。酒店大巴把我们送到南池子那里，然后大家一起在长安街步行

广场特别热闹

7点59分，大家静静地等待着……

昨天我看到的最好玩的烟花！太可爱了！

活动结了

回酒店的路上。完美的一天！

永别了Moonwalker

Friday, Jun 26, 2009 1:41PM / Members only

今天早上一起来发现收到了数条短信和邮件，写的都是：Michael Jackson is dead。

我谈不上是他的超级fan，但他的音乐和那些经典的MV陪伴了我小学至大学时期。如今看那些MV还超有感觉，他的音乐很有怀旧感，能让我闪回到一个更“简单”的年代、一个得靠实力证明自己的年代。

不管他近十年的私生活有多怪异或反常，但不能否认杰克逊的才华和他对流行音乐的巨大贡献和影响力，而且影响的不止是一代人。他的音乐不管你喜不喜欢，地球上只要有收音机的地方几乎没有没听过他的歌的人。虽然小时候我老爸不让我像杰克逊一样抓着“小弟弟”跳舞，但今天为了纪念他，我独自在客厅里还是跳了一小段。永别了Moonwalker。

我好久没写博客了，谢谢部分网友的关心。在这里趁机跟那些留言骂我“死哪儿去”的网友解释一下，我有好几个月确实是懒得博了（没啥想写的就不勉强，这一惯是我博的规矩），但最近一直没写是因为又忙起来了。我新电影《形影不离》目前筹备的比较顺利，过几个月就要正式开始前期准备并开机。一旦电影公司让透露更多，我会在这里跟大家介绍一下。祝大家一切都好，until next time.

Mission Impossible
( 繁 | 简 )

Monday, Oct 22, 2007 1:01PM / Members only

Hi all. Finished shooting yesterday. Talk about a hardcore shoot. We had to squeeze in 3 days worth of shooting into 2 days because of actor schedules -- normally not a problem when NOT shooting car chases and action! On top of that, I only have 4 days of post-pro time before it airs on national TV live. Before I sign off: "I'd like to thank the academy and CCTV for leaving everything until the last minute!" At least we all had great fun making it. I'll try and post it up here when it's done.

Few pics from the shoot:

With Ziyi

With Liu Ye

With Ge You -- definately the funniest actor I've ever worked with

Special Golden Rooster Mission
( 繁 | 简 )

Wednesday, Oct 17, 2007 4:44PM / Members only

[Translated into English by AliveNotDead:]
The comments posted when I didn't blog made me laugh, haha. Thanks for the concern & support! The reason I didn't blog was because I was busy preparing my next film. I have been developing several projects since last year, and decided the project which I most wanted to shoot in Jan this year. This project is an idea I had for few years but hadn't writing down completely. I blocked out about 8 months of my time to finish it (I'm always slow writing- but it seems this time was quicker than "Waiting Alone". Progress!) The good news is we've attached the main cast this past last month.

When I was busy on my film project, Zhou Jianping from the Film Association contacted me, said Association and CCTV Film Channel wanted me to shoot their first-ever short film for the Chinese academy award (Golden Rooster) opening ceremony. I was afraid it would conflict with my film at first. But while they persuade me, I came to an idea that maybe we could do it in a brand new way. The different heads asked me to write a project plan about that, the only requirement is mention the "Gold Rooster Lake" in Suzhou (yes, it's really called that) and to try to include "action". I could decide the rest freely. I figured since it's just a few minutes film and I don't know how to write a proposal, I ended up writing a complete scrīpt. They thought my mini-action short film is funny and approved it with only a few changes. After I decided the final scrīpt, they asked me whom I want to star in it. I said the final scrīpt was written for Ziyi Zhang, Liu Ye and Ge You. So I had them contact them first. The three were willing to star in it after read the scrīpt. And Tang and Xiao Zhang began their complex work in contacting and adjustment of shooting date. Several times we thought we might have to cancel because of scheduling, but finally, after everyones hard work, we went into pre-production! (although we have a very very short amount of time to prepare and shoot!)

Hope audiences and net heads like it! You can check out it on Oct 27, CCTV-6 during the Golden Rooster Awards!

伍导，我有一搞笑电影剧本《剩男计划》能帮忙联系到王晶吗？或许我们有缘呀。这是部为广大青年朋友们创作的电影剧本，剧本创作中我尝试着能走一条国际化的路线。或许是东西方文化的差异吧，我们的喜剧习惯于用搞笑的语言不动声色逗观众乐，而西方的喜剧却习惯用夸张的表情和，复杂多变的肢体语言搞笑取悦于观众。

DAYYAN ENG (aka Wu Shixian in China) is a Chinese-American director with a distinguished international background. He studied film in the US and transferred to the prestigious Beijing Film Academy where he finished his undergraduate studies in directing. Starting his career directing TV commercials for the Asian and global market, Dayyan won recognition and acclaim for his short films, and most recently, his feature film "Waiting Alone". In late 2005, Dayyan became the first foreign member of the China Directors' Guild and made history as the first foreign director to have a film nominated for "Best Picture" at the Chinese academy awards. He is currently one of the hottest young feature directors in China.

In 2001, Dayyan wrote and directed "Bus 44" starring Chinese film star Gong Beibi. The film premiered and won awards at the 2001 Venice Film Festival and 2002 Sundance Film Festival, and was invited to the 2002 Cannes Film Festival "Director's Fortnight" becoming the first Chinese short film to be invited to each of these festivals. The film was covered extensively in the Chinese media and was critically acclaimed in China, the US, and in Europe, gaining TV and theatrical distribution in territories worldwide.

In 2005, Dayyan completed the Chinese independant feature film "Waiting Alone", which he wrote and directed, starring an ensemble cast including Xia Yu, Gong Beibi, Li Bingbing, and featuring cameos from some of Asia's biggest stars, including Chow-Yun Fat. It premiered to critical raves and was an audience favorite at the 17th Tokyo Int'l Film Festival. The film has been called one of 2005 "best films" by over 50 Chinese media and Variety. "Waiting Alone" became a hit in China among young people upon its September 2005 wide-release in the China market, and went on to receive 3 nominations, including Best Picture, at the Chinese academy awards (Golden Rooster Awards); as well as winning the "Best First Feature" and "Best Actor" awards at the popular Beijing Film Festival. "Waiting Alone" became a best-selling DVD in China and its national network TV premier in early 2006 debuted at #1. The film continues to add a following to its already large fan-base in China. "Waiting Alone" was picked up for international distribution by Arclight Films at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

Dayyan recently finished directing "Inseparable" starring two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, Daniel Wu, Beibi Gong, Yan Ni, Peter Stormare. He is currently busy with new projects and divides his time between Beijing and Los Angeles.
