Chapter 133 Best supporting actor
The next award presenter is Sandra Ng.
The award is for Best Actress.
The winner is Zhang Ziyi, and the award-winning movie is the same as Tony Leung Chaowei, both 2046.
It is relatively rare in the industry for a movie to win the best actor and best actress at the same time.
Next up is Best Supporting Actor, with Andy Lau as the award presenter.
Before Qin Chuan could react, his name was called on the stage.
It was the people around him who reminded him that he quickly stood up and buttoned up his suit. Zhou Xingchi patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Congratulations on winning the award. You are very lucky."
Qin Chuan is indeed lucky to win an award at the Academy Awards for the first time.
"Thanks."
Qin Chuan didn't know what to say, so he thanked him and went up to the stage to receive the award.
"Congratulations." After Liu Dehua gave the trophy to Qin Chuan, he took two steps back and left the stage to him.
"Thanks."
Witnessed by countless big shots, Qin Chuan delivered his acceptance speech.
"Thank you to the Kung Fu crew, thank you to Director Zhou Xingchi, thank you to the conference..."
A Hollywood superstar once said that an acceptance speech is for you to thank the director, your parents, and your country.
I'm not asking you to complain or make suggestions. Although everyone is moved, no one wants to hear what you have to say.
Qin Chuan also thanked everyone on stage without adding any personal emotion.
After Qin Chuan stepped down, Zhou Xingchi said to him: "Don't thank me anymore. I'm afraid you won't be able to come next year."
Zhou Xingchi is not stupid.
The feud with the Academy Awards is no longer a day or two.
Whose box office champion every year can’t win an award?
The global box office of 800 million could not silence the judges, and not a single award was left to him.
Any fool can see that this is being targeted.
As the male lead, the most important award is Best Actor, and the judges gave it to Tony Leung.
As a director, the most important award is Best Director, and the judges gave it to Er Dongsheng.
These two people, one is a good friend and the other is a senior, he can't complain, so he can only swallow this dumb loss.
Only won one for Best Movie.
What's the use of this?
It proves that his box office performance was the best last year, right?
Do they still need to prove this? The global box office of 800 million proves it more than any trophy.
Knowing that he was being targeted, Qin Chuan came on stage to thank him just now. Zhou Xingchi was a little worried that he would not be able to come next year and would follow in his footsteps.
Qin Chuan smiled lightly and said: "It's just the truth. If you don't come in the future, it's your fate."
The application requirements for the Hong Kong Film Awards are strict, requiring directors from Hong Kong, investments from Hong Kong companies, the proportion of Hong Kong teams in the main production departments of the crew, and the proportion of actors.
It is almost saying that we in the Hong Kong community should play this award ourselves, and outsiders should not participate.
In the early years when Hong Kong films were brilliant, they had nothing to do behind closed doors. What has become of Hong Kong films now? Are they still conservative?
In a few years, this award will only become more and more prestigious.
It's not as good as the Golden Horse Awards. At least the Golden Horse Awards are open to both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and everyone can participate.
However, more than ten years later, the Golden Horse Awards have also become less popular. They are not going to Hong Kong Island or the Mainland, and they are just enjoying themselves. Of course, that is a story for another day.
Zhou Xingchi didn't say anything, just patted Qin Chuan's knee, saying nothing.
Following Qin Chuan, the organizing committee continued to announce winners.
Most of them are from the kung fu crew, the best martial arts director, the best editing, etc.
It's like saying that most of the people in the crew have won awards, except Zhou Xingchi.
Qin Chuan, Yuan Baye and others around him all had trophies in their hands, while Zhou Xingchi sat empty in the middle. How ironic.
After finally making it to the end of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Zhou Xingchi was the first to leave.
I didn’t attend the celebration dinner prepared by the organizer later.
In the outfield, Wang Tingting was still waiting with an umbrella.
Not long after, I saw Qin Chuan coming out.
"How's it going? Did you win the prize?" Wang Tingting asked hurriedly.
Qin Chuan took out the trophy from behind his back and said with a smile, "Of course."
"Wow, it's gold?" Wang Tingting touched Qin Chuan's baby and asked, "Can you play with it for me?"
"Take it." Qin Chuan gave her the trophy and took the umbrella himself: "Don't bite it with your teeth. This is copper, not gold."
"This Academy Award is so stingy."
"Sister, if this were gold, how much would it be worth?"
The trophy is just an honor, no one would make it out of gold.
In the evening, Qin Chuan returned to the hotel, and the results of the Academy Awards had already been announced in the media.
I opened my laptop and clicked on a web page. The small pop-up window in the lower right corner showed a picture of Qin Chuan walking on the red carpet.
After saving this picture, Qin Chuan selected a few pictures from entertainment news of winning awards and taking photos from different angles, and posted them on his blog together.
"I won the award. Thank you for my hard work. Thank you to Mr. Xing. Directors and producers welcome everyone to make movies with me."
The first movie he made in the industry was 800 million, and he also won the Best Supporting Actor.
It’s a good start.
Qin Chuan knew how important this award was to him. TV drama actors, until the very end, have to work their way into the film industry. Otherwise, when they get older, they will have to act as supporting roles for newcomers.
This is the general trend and does not depend on personal will.
If you look at later generations, you will know that all kinds of older TV kings and niche students who were very popular when they were young all play supporting roles in major TV series.
In the final analysis, TV dramas are a market for young people. If you have male protagonists in their 50s and 60s and female protagonists in their 40s and 50s, who will watch them?
Movies are different. People of all ages and genders watch them, and the market is much wider.
Look at Zhou Xingchi, Andy Lau, Cheng Long, Tony Leung Chaowei, Tony Leung Ka-fai and Aaron Kwok. They are still the protagonists in their forties and fifties.
Of course, this does not mean that movie actors can play leading roles for a lifetime, but compared to TV drama actors, movie actors have a significantly longer period of flowering.
In the field of TV dramas, under normal circumstances, if a man is over forty years old, there are very few leading roles for you.
The flowering period of actresses is even shorter, and they have to decline after thirty.
Therefore, for TV drama actors, if they cannot break into the film industry, they will only play supporting roles in TV dramas when they are old.
"Didi didi."
As soon as Qin Chuan's blog was posted, his mailbox started flashing.
When I opened it, I saw that I was looking for him to make a movie.
Several scripts.
But the quality is not good, the director is not famous, I just want to get him for free.
Beiping, Sugarman Film and Television Branch.
Jin Lian sat in front of the computer and saw many emails showing that they had been read. She guessed that Qin Chuan had already read them and called him immediately.
"Don't worry about reading the script. There are many advertising endorsements looking for you to cooperate. Aren't you coming back on New Year's Eve? Let's take the time to shoot two sets of films."
Qin Chuan frowned: "Sister Jin, it's too late. I have to go back on the first day of the new year. The crew has a busy schedule, so I may not be able to ask for leave."
"This is not my request. Mr. Cai personally named him and said that this endorsement is good." Jin Lian sat on the boss's chair and shook his head and said, "Let's do this. I'll deal with it for you and we can do a set."
“I took a group photo before I got on the plane, so I had enough time.”
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can arrange the time."
The company is not a fuel-saving lamp. He is famous here, and he must be hoping to make money from him.
It's okay now, I don't have much time to take photos of the sacred sculptures.
After the filming of the sacred sculpture is finished, he may not know how much work will be waiting for him.
"By the way, Mr. Cai said that after you finalize the contract, you will upgrade the contract, and the share will be changed to four to six points, four for the company, and six for you."
Qin Chuan smiled.
Jin Lian explained: "Under normal circumstances, you should have been like this last year, but the company also considered that your joining time was too short and the contract was changed too quickly, so it was delayed until now."
Qin Chuan smiled but said: "It's okay, I understand, the company also has its own difficulties, but the market situation in the industry, like me, shouldn't I be 30-70?"
The joining time is short and the contract is changed too quickly, which is not appropriate. Then the profit sharing must be in place.
Second-tier coffee spots are usually open at 30-70%, with artists getting 70%.
There are many first-line celebrity seats, with 28% and 19% openings, and some give back shares in order to tie up the artists.
Now he has won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and he will be attending the Spring Festival Gala soon, and it will still be April 6th, and his appearance in the company is a bit ugly.
Jin Lian was silent for a few seconds: "This is the company's decision. From a personal perspective, I sympathize with you, but from the company's perspective, the boss feels that you are famous because of the resources she gave you, including A Chinese Girl, Fairy Sword, and now The Condor. "
"Everyone has different positions, and it's normal to have different views."
"Take your time, you are still young. In a few years, I believe you will have the same strength as Mr. Cai."
Qin Chuan nodded: "I understand, I'm just asking, nothing else. I've always been grateful to the company for helping me. This time the profit sharing has been upgraded. Thank you Mr. Cai for me."
Jin Lian always felt that something was wrong with Qin Chuan. His tone and style were different from usual.
"Xiaochuan, if someone gave you a steamed bun when you were hungry, and you became prosperous in the future, how would you repay the other person?"
"Of course I will repay you a hundred times. This is my lifesaver. Sister Jin, I know what you mean. I am grateful to the company."
Qin Chuan planned to return a hundred steamed buns to the other party.
Take care of enough, take care of enough!
Jin Lian was very satisfied with his answer: "I'm just asking casually. You should be busy and take a rest."
After hanging up Qin Chuan's phone, Jin Lian called Cai Yinong.
"Mr. Cai, we just finished communicating. Qin Chuan is in good mood. He said he is very grateful to the company."
"As long as it's okay, you should pay more attention to his life and work, and try to satisfy him with whatever he needs. By the way, let me know when his house is decorated, and I will give him some gifts."
"Okay Mr. Cai."
Leaning on the boss's chair, Jin Lian rubbed her eyebrows. She was not stupid, so why couldn't she hear Qin Chuan's complaints.
But at the same time, I also understand Cai Yinong’s approach.
Sometimes, the artists under him are too fierce, and the boss also has a headache
Qin Chuan becomes famous too quickly.
How long has it been since it became second-tier?
It is not impossible to be on the front line in two or three years.
The company gives him thirty-seven points now, twenty-eight points next year, and what else can it give him in a few years?
If you can’t give it, will you have to change jobs?
But she understands, but she doesn't support it. There are many ways to bind artists, so there is no need to use the dragging technique. Qin Chuan is not an ordinary person, and he may not accept this method.
You can tell from the fact that this guy spends money without batting an eyelid, he has great ambitions.
Jin Lian felt that it was no longer a question of whether Qin Chuan could be retained as a company in Tangren, but how many years he could stay.
