November 28th is the last day of the 33rd Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
In the morning, I ran to the venue to rehearse the chorus song "Stars and Sea" one last time.
In the afternoon, I returned to the hotel to prepare makeup and hair styling. Unlike the tense and serious day of the Hundred Flowers Awards, the overall atmosphere today was quite relaxed and cheerful.
As the boss, Lin Qingyuan was not under so much pressure. As his subordinates, the team members naturally felt less burdened and began to chat with ease.
"I have a few temporary jobs. I have communicated with the Changjin Lake crew. You can postpone joining the crew for three days." Yan Jun walked into the room with his mobile phone.
"What job?" Lin Qingyuan was a little confused. What he feared most was this sudden temporary arrangement.
"As for the song, I recorded a promotional song for Little Red Flower, a song prepared for the Spring Festival Gala stage."
Okay, I have to cut down on my rest time again.
Lin Qingyuan curled his lips helplessly, "I understand the promotion song, but it shouldn't be that easy for a personal single to be included in the Spring Festival Gala. Their review in this regard is very strict."
Just like the song "Hugm" by Lin Qingyuan...
Although the public reputation is not that bad, and driven by Lin Qingyuan's personal influence, the popularity of the song is not bad, but if he is allowed to sing this song on the Spring Festival Gala, it will really make him lose face in front of the people of the country.
"The review is strict, but as long as the quality of the songs keeps up, there will be no jamming." Yan Jun had no other ideas, because he was very confident in the quality of the songs.
"What song?" Lin Qingyuan was curious.
"The movie promotion song is "Birds and Cicadas" by Knt and Genggen. The song to be promoted to the Spring Festival Gala has lyrics written by Knt's friend Fang Wenshan."
"Oh, Fang Wenshan is amazing!" Lin Qingyuan immediately sat up straight, looked at Yan Jun and asked, "This name does have enough weight, what about the name?"
Yan Jun shook his head and replied: "I only know that the content of the song is about the Forbidden City. The name has not been finalized yet. I guess I will have to let you name it then."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
Lin Qingyuan had no impression of the song written by Fang Wenshan and about the Forbidden City, but out of trust in his ability, it was worth looking forward to.
"In addition to the recording of "Birds and Cicadas" and the MV shooting of the song "Forbidden City", there is also an invitation for "National Treasure", which can be recorded in half a day."
"After all this, I feel like I've lost a few days of vacation inexplicably..." Lin Qingyuan laughed angrily.
It is really difficult to find the balance between career and personal life. This is a worldwide problem.
"Come on, do you know how much singing a song solo on the Spring Festival Gala can improve your nationality? If this can really be done, then you will really make money."
"But what if it doesn't work out?"
"If it doesn't work out, it's just going to save you a few days of rest. And even if you really don't make it to the Spring Festival Gala, this song will still be of help to you, because we plan to shoot the MV for this song in the Forbidden City.
"Lin Qingyuan's team has opened up the relevant departments.
“But isn’t the Forbidden City forbidden from commercial filming?”
"It's just not allowed in some areas."
Lin Qingyuan sighed, "Okay, it's all up to you."
Although it is an indisputable fact that the influence of the Spring Festival Gala has been declining in recent years, if he can sing his personal single to the people across the country on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it will be considered as a fulfillment of Lin Qingyuan's childhood dream.
......
Speaking of China's authoritative film awards, in fact, before 2019, the most influential and valuable award for Chinese-language films had always been the Golden Horse Awards in Bay Island.
However, due to the sensitive remarks made by some Bay Island filmmakers on the podium, mainland films directly announced their withdrawal and would no longer attend, and the Golden Horse Awards fell into silence.
At the same time, in order to promote mainland film awards and set a new industry benchmark, the Golden Rooster Awards also ushered in drastic reforms.
First of all, the holding time has been changed from the original biennial to annual, shortening the selection time and expanding the influence of the award as quickly as possible.
Secondly, the award location is fixed in Xiamen, across the sea from Bay Island, and it must be for five years, which means that Xiamen will host the Golden Rooster Awards for six consecutive years.
Do you want to completely overtake the Golden Horse Awards in five years? Or do you want to solve a problem of national concern in these five years?
The profound meaning is that new products are needed.
This year the red carpet and award ceremony are separate.
At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Qingyuan departed from the hotel and arrived at the East Square of the Convention and Exhibition Center. He met with a large group of people from the "Young You" crew and prepared to walk on the red carpet.
"Young You" received a total of eleven Golden Rooster Award nominations this year, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest, so naturally many members came to the red carpet at the award ceremony.
"The next person to step onto the red carpet is the very strong cast and crew of "Better Days"."
Before the previous crew had time to walk off the red carpet, the fans on the outside of the red carpet were already screaming loudly when they saw the group of people coming out of the corner.
"Welcome producer Xu Yuezhen, screenwriters Li Yuan and Xu Yimeng, director Zeng Guoxiang, actors Lin Qingyuan, Zhou Qiuyu, Huang Jue, Zhou Ye, photographer Yu Jingping..."
Lin Qingyuan today still wore the allblack style that is most common among male celebrities on the red carpet and can never go wrong. He wore a black suit with vine embroidery on his upper body. The slim fit greatly highlighted his superior body proportions and matched the overall look.
Watches and accessories worth tens of millions, the natural nobility has been fully interpreted.
Director Zeng Guoxiang walked proudly in the middle, with the two leading actors Lin Qingyuan and Zhou Qiuyu on both sides, and the two supporting actors Zhou Ye and Huang Jue walking on both sides.
The long dress Zhou Ye wore today was also quite nice, with a fairy-like air, but the skirt was very long and needed to be dragged along.
Especially when I came to the center of the red carpet to be interviewed by the host, because the interview area was not large and there were a lot of people coming back from the crew, so in order not to squeeze other people’s standing positions and allow everyone to be in the shot, Zhou
I can only drag the hem of the skirt inward with all my strength.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this, Lin Qingyuan hurriedly walked over to help Zhou Ye lift up her skirt, and joked in a humorous tone: "Others are walking on the red carpet, but you are here to do hygiene."
Although the inside of the skirt could not be seen, Lin Qingyuan knew that it must be dark inside without even thinking about it.
"I'll probably lose money." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Why do you seem to be so happy?"
"The first time I lost money because my dress was stained, it is always worth remembering." Zhou Yeliu smiled slightly.
"You always like to commemorate strange things..." Lin Qingyuan smiled softly, then straightened Zhou Ye's skirt and returned to his position, facing the camera inspections of the media and fans with a stern face.
.
"Lin Qingyuan looks good today."
"This figure and appearance combined with this outfit are invincible..."
The media reporters beside the red carpet started chatting.
"With all his clothes and jewelry, I'm afraid he can buy ten houses in Shanghai. That watch, if I read it right, starts at at least 10 million."
"Damn it, brother, do you understand so much?"
"I play with watches."
"That's a rich man who plays with watches..."
After everyone in the crew entered the live camera and stood up, the host began to ask: "Is this the second time Qingyuan comes to our Golden Rooster Award Ceremony?"
Lin Qingyuan nodded slightly.
The host then asked: "And this is the first time you have been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. How about it? Are you confident that you will win the first nomination?"
Lin Qingyuan took the microphone from the host and said unhurriedly: "I believe that every nominated actor has the confidence to win the award, and everyone is outstanding, so no matter what the result is, I believe that this year's Best Actor
The leading role and other awards are well deserved."
Although the outside world generally believes that Lin Qingyuan is the top seed for this year's Golden Rooster Best Actor, before the results are actually announced, anything can happen. No one knows whether there will be an upset or a dark horse.
After all, even "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which was very popular all over the country at the time, failed to win any major TV drama awards, forcing the heroine Sun Li to leave a bad face.
Then it is not impossible that Lin Qing could not be recognized by the Golden Rooster judges because she was too young.
Therefore, in such an important live broadcast for the whole country, Lin Qingyuan still has to be cautious in his words and actions.
Time is limited, one question per person.
When the cast and crew finished their interviews and left the stage, Lin Qingyuan took the initiative to walk behind Zhou Ye and lift her skirt, escorting her off the stage in person. This time, she never put it down again.
Seeing that the relationship between the two was obviously not normal, the media and fans sent another burst of flashlights and screams.
Zhou Ye felt shy and sweet in her heart, but considering the sensitive scandal that broke out just the day before that all the female stars in the LV camp were Zongfei, doing this now is still too ostentatious, and she was worried that it would affect Lin Qingyuan's reputation.
, so he whispered to him: "Brother, why don't you put your skirt down, I can do it alone..."
Lin Qingyuan smiled at her, but did not listen to her words, "It's okay, it's just the last twenty meters. We can finish it in a while, don't worry."
"Well..." Seeing that Lin Qingyuan was willing to help him lift his skirt in public, Zhou Ye felt extremely happy in his heart, so he simply let him do it.
In fact, Zhou Ye has always wanted to do the last hot search with his senior brother, and it doesn't matter even if he is scolded by his fans.
Because only in this way can she feel that her love relationship with Lin Qingyuan is real.
...
It took five minutes to quickly walk through the red carpet, and then took the organizer's courtesy car to the Straits Grand Theater to attend tonight's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.
As soon as Lin Qingyuan followed the waiter into the venue, some fellow actors and film behind-the-scenes workers who had met before came up to him and started talking.
If Lin Qingyuan, who won 1.3 billion in box office with "Heartbeat" in 2018, can be regarded as a rising star who has just established a firm foothold in the film industry, Lin Qingyuan, who became a billionaire actor in 2019, is an upstart in the film industry that cannot be ignored.
..
So Lin Qingyuan, who just became the youngest Baihua Best Actor this year, is undoubtedly the new king of the film industry.
But as far as celebrity status is concerned, the number of mainland actors who can be equal to him can be counted on one hand.
"Hey Xiaolin, I have something to ask you!"
Just when Lin Qingyuan was chatting politely with this group of colleagues with whom he was unfamiliar and had no intention of getting acquainted with each other, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
Lin Qingyuan turned around and found that the person walking towards him was Bona Chairman Yu Dong, who looked like an honest man.
Yu Dong took Lin Qingyuan to a less crowded and noisy place, patted Lin Qingyuan on the shoulder, asked with a smile: "Why did you ask for leave again?"
"Changjin Lake" has been filming for a week, but Lin Qingyuan, one of the two male leads, still has not joined the cast.
Lin Qingyuan and Wu Jing are both male and female protagonists in this drama. There was no conflict between the two parties over the issue of their roles, and the process of confirming their roles was very friendly.
After all, unlike those actors who need to compete to get promoted, Lin Qingyuan's current status has reached the top.
The crew will naturally give a satisfactory face.
Going back to the topic just now, in fact, besides him, there are many actors who have not joined the cast a week after filming started.
Because "The Chinese Doctor" and "Changjin Lake" are two projects launched by Bona almost at the same time, and the casts are almost the same, the actors in the two crews usually go to the other after finishing the performance, taking turns at both ends.
Come, it can be considered that we can play in an open and aboveboard manner.
"I do blame me for this, mainly because the Spring Festival Gala delayed me from joining the group." Lin Qingyuan smiled and apologized, and then explained: "I am planning to release a new song recently to see if it can pass the review and be included in the Spring Festival Gala, so the filming of this MV was started.
I'm really sorry for messing up the original schedule."
Yu Dong was actually just joking and didn't really blame Lin Qingyuan for delaying joining the group. "The goal is to be in the Spring Festival Gala, so the quality of this song is quite high!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Um..." Lin Qingyuan hasn't read the lyrics yet, so how can he know the quality of the song?
"The quality is okay, not that high, not that low." He replied ambiguously.
"Then I have to look forward to it." Yu Dong changed the topic and continued: "By the way, how many billion do you want for the new movie you are going to release at the end of the year?"
"It's hard to say yet. My goal is to hit 2 billion. If that doesn't work, I'll try my best to break 10."
Lin Qingyuan said it fairly conservatively.
Xiaohonghuayuan Time and Space got a box office of 1.4 billion with Yiyang Millennium, and this time with Lin Qingyuan joining, there will be an increase of dozens of points.
So it is not hopeless to exceed 2 billion.
Seeing that Lin Qingyuan was so confident that he even said that he would start with one billion, Yu Dong couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
The production cost of the movie Little Red Flower is only 200 million, which means that as long as the box office exceeds 1 billion, it will be a big profit.
As for breaking two billion...
This return on investment of up to three or four times would really make the entire film industry jealous and envious.
"You should be able to carry this movie alone." However, Dudong hopes that Lin Qingyuan's movies will become more popular.
After all, they are now partners, not competitors, so Lin Qingyuan's growth and progress will undoubtedly feed back to Bona's two films.
Lin Qingyuan nodded, "It's almost the same. I usually have to shoulder the responsibility of directing Han's movies alone."
Since his debut, Lin Qingyuan has actually only made two true solo films, namely Han Yan's "Heartbeat" and "Send You a Little Red Flower".
"Every movie an actor performs alone is very important, because it can directly reflect your current box office appeal and fan purchasing power. The industry is very concerned about this."
"The pre-sale depends on the fans, and the follow-up depends on the passers-by. I believe this movie can be successful at the box office."
"So confident? Then I wish you good luck."
Yu Dong was really frightened by Lin Qingyuan. No one in the industry dared to speak like him. No actor dared to guarantee that each of his movies would start with a billion dollars. Only Lin Qingyuan dared to say this.
The young man is young and energetic, but he really doesn’t leave any steps for himself...
"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Lin Qingyuan smiled and thanked.
The two then chatted for a while about filming the first and second parts of "Changjin Lake" in one go, and then returned to their respective seats to wait for the awards ceremony to begin.
Lin Qingyuan was naturally sitting with the main creators of the shortlisted film "Young You".
On his left are Zhou Qiuyu and Tong Liya, on his right is Liu Dehua, one of the three main judges of this year's Golden Rooster Awards, and behind him are Zhou Ye and director Zeng Guoxiang.
Andy Lau seems to like and appreciate Lin Qingyuan, a junior, and has been chatting with him about the behind-the-scenes filming of "The Wandering Earth 1" three years ago.
Although Breaking Bad 2 has just started preparations and will not be officially launched until at least the second half of next year, Liu Dehua's participation has already been confirmed.
So he was naturally curious about the behind-the-scenes filming process of this science fiction film. After all, he had never been exposed to a true science fiction film with special effects before.
Unlike many semi-retired Hong Kong stars, Andy Lau is the kind of actor who values fame and honor and has great personal pursuits, so he really wants to film this movie to enrich his life experience, so naturally he
More homework and preparations need to be done in advance.
