Chapter 276: Be the first to eat crabs
"Chen Linfeng won two laurels of Best Actor and Best Director in one night"
"Xiao Chen and Li An shine together at the Golden Horse Night"< br>
"The male god who is both an actor and a famous director is the envy of others"
"Xiao Chen said that Zhao Benshan should be the actor"
"..."
Early the next morning, Chen Linfeng received a bunch of Bay Island newspapers collected by Sister Mei, almost all of which contained various reports on yesterday's Golden Horse Awards.
He occupies almost half of the page.
As an actor, at this time, I have a much greater advantage than a mere director.
No matter where he is on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, most people know Chen Linfeng, or at least know him as a person.
Even if you are older and don't often pay attention to entertainment news, you won't react at first. As soon as you mention the person who got the top prize but didn't get into Yan Dashui Mu, you will know who it is.
In this case, I learned that he had won the award and was the best actor (mainly this is the one that the public knows best).
Some people directly asked, "Can Xiao Chen also win the Best Actor Award? That's really amazing. Isn't this what those big stars in Hong Kong are called?"
Obviously. This person really doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, but he also knows about "actor" and thinks it is a noble title.
It is also an honor for Xiao Chen to win the Best Actor Award.
Although the concept is not quite right, the understanding is gradually established in this way.
The discussion online is much more intense.
Especially between some old fans and new fans, Chen Linfeng surpassed Liang Chaowei, Zhao Benshan, and Guo Fucheng this time, who is not a famous figure.
Especially these three people, they happen to be characters near the peak of popularity in Hong Kong Island and Mainland respectively.
“Xiao Chen is good, but not to the extent that he can overpower the Cannes best actor like Tony Leung.”
"Don't worry about how you got it, just tell me whether you won it in the same year."
"Xiao Chen's attitude is still very humble. People said at the time that Zhao Benshan should win the award more."< br>
I have to say that what Chen Linfeng said back then made Zhao Benshan a hot search topic.
Even though Zhao Benshan himself is feeling heavy now because of his father's affairs, when he was being interviewed by reporters, he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard what Xiao Chen said when he won the award.
"Xiao Chen also relies on his strength to win the award. If he has this level, the rest depends on the judges' preferences and a little bit of luck. I think he is good at winning the Best Actor. There is nothing wrong with him."
Generally speaking, public opinion in the mainland is inclined to congratulate him, and few feel that he is not worthy of his virtue.
Hong Kong Island and Bay Island are somewhat noisy.
Especially Xiao Chen won the best actor award over two kings as an actor, and shared the best director award with Li An as a director. He is so young.
Really makes some media feel unbalanced.
Some tabloids directly said that Xiao Chen won the award entirely because of the Venice Golden Lion, which was pushed to him by Zhang Yimou.
Also, there is a shady secret in the changes to the judging rules of the Golden Horse Awards.
This is a bit of a slap in the face.
When the judging rules were first announced to the public, it was said to be a two-stage judging process, and the part that determines who wins the award was a small judging panel with a small number of people, and the details of the judging were not disclosed to the public.
The media in Hong Kong Island have been criticizing, saying that it will favor local films.
Wan Dao remained silent, or he felt that such rules were okay and he had to believe in the professional ability of the judges.
Now that the results are out, the ones chosen are actors and directors from Mainland China, which is a bit difficult.
In fact, under the judging rules of the past life, there was indeed a shady secret, and the award was given to "Lust, Caution".
But this world has changed because of Chen Linfeng, so the Golden Horse Awards appear to be fair.
But no matter what, after all, tabloids can ignore logic.
When these tabloids criticized Xiao Chen, some of them said things that were very ugly, such as selling buttocks, money transactions, etc.
Then it quickly attracted backlash from fans.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, Chen Linfeng does not have any official restrictions on the behavior of fans.
The fandom culture that has been developed for many years is not easy to mess with. Soon, extreme fans poured ink, threw stones, and even threw answers at the tabloid’s company premises.
It can be said that it is very unqualified, but it is just right for dealing with unscrupulous tabloids.
Ignore these disturbing things.
At this time, the phone rang and Chen Linfeng answered.
Han Shanping's call, "How about Xiao Chen, I'll let you come to the Golden Horse Awards, I won't hurt you."
Chen Linfeng heard this, and his heart moved, "Mr. Han has received some advice before Did you hear the news?”
“Not really, but the relevant departments asked me to advise you that they would not treat you badly. Looking at the results, it turned out that they were not.”
Chen Linfeng pretended to complain. He said, "Mr. Han, why didn't you say anything before? I didn't know anything."
"I told you, there won't be any surprises." Han Shanping said with a smile.
“Besides, there is also a saying about fair treatment. I’m not sure to what extent it means fair treatment.
Just based on the recent situation, one is that the situation on the island has changed. Change the boss.
In addition, it will be 2008, and we also want to show a friendly relationship, so as not to cause any trouble.
The two sides will hit it off. "
Chen Linfeng was stunned, but at the same time a little confused, "Then why did you choose me?"
"You are famous, the higher-ups know you, and you are also popular on the island.
The most important thing The reason is that "Exploding Drummer" itself won the Golden Lion. Winning the award is natural and will not violate any selection principles, so the benefits will fall on you. "
Chen Linfeng thought to himself, if there was no me in the previous life, wouldn't it be the same? Will it be given to others?
But if you think about it more carefully, it is probably Jiang Wen and Zhao Benshan who can get this kind of treatment.
But due to some reasons, both of them were not present at all, and the other two films were not able to participate in the exhibition due to film bureau regulations. Okay, the case has been solved. I said the rules are so easy to change this year.
He said to himself that he was not so proud. He was still far from it. How could he change history? It turned out that other departments had contributed.
"When Mr. Han said this, I understood. It was the right time, the right place and the right people. I am lucky. No wonder the best actor was awarded to me. I was still surprised before."
“You can’t say that, it’s just your ability.
Because they expected that the other party would not refuse, the higher-ups thought of it and wanted to make you a mascot in the middle of the cake.
The relationship between cause and effect cannot be confused, so don’t belittle yourself. "
After Han Shanping said this, he asked about the preparations for the new movie.
"I heard that you invited Jiang Wu to play the leading role. Are there any other stars joining the cast? I think we should find some celebrities and make it into a big production? ”
“It’s better not to. It’s my first commercial film, and the most important thing is to be able to recoup the cost stably. ”
Han Shanping still has some doubts, "Can it work with purely mainland actors? In so many years, "The Stone" is the only one that has achieved good box office with only mainland actors."
"What's wrong with this? When the time comes, you can use my name to promote it.”
Chen Linfeng knows that the other party is the promoter, but he doesn’t know how to promote it.
Nowadays, audiences are superstitious about blockbusters, and it is not without reason that producers try their best to go in the direction of blockbusters.
Many times, audiences go to see movies with Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. There is a feeling that blockbusters can attract audiences to theaters and expand the market.
With a small budget and unknown actors, it is likely to be silent.
In fact, the current direction has changed somewhat.
For several years in a row, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have appeared in bad movies, and their charm is almost gone. With the heavy blow early next year, it should be enough.
Furthermore, the audience's disappointment with today's domestic films has reached a peak. As long as the story is good, it may trigger revenge viewing.
He can definitely eat the first crab.
The previous life should be "Crazy Racing", as this work that brings surprises.
As for Ning Hao’s film, because it is a non-linear narrative, it has a certain viewing threshold. In fact, it is a small boutique type, and it is not easy to hit the box office.
Chen Linfeng's film is a simple and enjoyable film without any difficulty in understanding.
He actually has some expectations for the box office.
Han Shanping didn't know what the other party was thinking. Although he felt unsafe in his heart, he still agreed.
"Okay, I'll do as you say first."
With Han Shanping's previous personality, of course he wouldn't care about a low-cost movie.
But he, as a person, prefers talented young directors, such as Jiang Wen before, Ning Hao a few years ago, and Xiao Chen now.
Especially for Chen Linfeng, he is extremely optimistic and hopes that he can take up the banner of the new generation of directors in China. He especially does not want him to stumble when he takes the first step.
Chen Linfeng understood the other party's good intentions and explained, "Our country, especially the mainland, has almost no small but sophisticated mature genre films. I also want to try a new approach.
Moreover, if costs are controlled well and costs can be reasonably recovered, then the most stable path will be taken.
Mr. Han, I don’t specifically pursue blockbusters. This is also my consistent philosophy.
For the domestic film market, it can continue to produce mature genre films and achieve a positive cycle, which will better attract capital investment.
Compared with simple blockbusters, this is another way to boost the market. "
Han Shanping felt relieved, "As long as you have your own ideas, I'm worried that you won't dare to let go. ”
"No, two films at most. As long as I am sure that the path is correct, I will definitely step up the pace in the future. Moreover, the investment of 30 to 50 million is not low. It can be considered a medium-sized investment after all."
Han Shanping said angrily, "To you, this little money is nothing, let alone a bunch of us getting involved."
"So I can't let everyone lose money. Yeah, this is how we have a future.”
“Hey, you are such a kid.”
Han Shanping shook his head.
The young man was so cautious that he almost thought I was the young one.
This is Chen Linfeng's first commercial film. In addition to his own investment, Chen Linfeng also found China Film and Magnesia.
It goes without saying that of these two companies, Huaying has strong domestic capabilities.
Magia has strong distribution capabilities throughout eastern Asia.
And it is very influential in Hong Kong Island, which can help Chen Linfeng avoid a lot of troubles during filming in Hong Kong Island.
After all, the movie he wants to make is based on "Crime City" from the previous life of Bangguo.
There are some plots that cannot be filmed in the mainland, so it would be better to film them in Hong Kong Island.
Later, Sister Mei came to tell me that she would stay in Bay Island for a few more days, and someone from Huayang Taiwan would be sent later.
At the same time, a certain leader named Ma from Wandao also wanted to meet him and Liu Qianqian. He was not sure before, but now he should have discussed the itinerary.
Chen Linfeng understood that it was just for show. This should be a follow-up to what Han Shanping said before.
Showing the attitude of family members on both sides is really the icing on the cake.
Chen Linfeng has no objection at all to making this mascot. The literary and art world can do this in peaceful times.
How many people want to do this but don’t know how to do it?
Although it is not yet time for this leader to be elected, his electoral advantage is not small. The previous local elections have clearly shown that he is invincible.
And because of the gang it belongs to and its status in past history, it still has a lot of cards.
After all, he is not the miserable Fela he was in later generations.
While Chen Linfeng was waiting for these two days, Time Magazine's Asian report on him and Liu Qianqian was also released.
