After the one-minute short film was played, the live broadcast camera focused on the four nominees with different expressions in the audience. Each person had a different expression on their face.
Lin Qingyuan and Liu Ye had relaxed smiles on their faces, and their lack of desire and pursuit was probably the true portrayal of them now.
Yu Hewei stared at the big screen on the stage expressionlessly. Although it looked calm, no one could truly remain calm in front of the Golden Rooster actor.
Zhang Yi, on the other hand, used a slightly bitter smile to hide his inner nervousness. Among the actors present, he had the highest probability of winning the award, and he was also the most eager to win the award.
The most critical and important moment tonight has arrived, and the audience in the main live broadcast room of the Golden Rooster Awards has become restless.
【Please! It must be Lin Qingyuan!】
【Lin Qingyuan Lin Qingyuan Lin Qingyuan Lin Qingyuan!】
[The probability of Zhang Yi and Hewei is very high. This year’s golden rooster is specially opened for Zhang Yi.]
[Why does Lin Qingyuan’s expression look so relaxed? Did he already know the result in advance? 】
[It’s very difficult to win re-election. So far in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards, there has never been an actor who has won two Golden Rooster Awards.]
[As fans, we should be optimistic about the results. We just need to continue to support Brother Yuan’s works. The matter of winning the award is left to the judges. We don’t have to say anything.]
Not intending to keep the suspense going for too long, Wang Xueqi quickly opened the envelope and read out the name of the winner.
"The 34th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor is awarded to... Zhang Yi, congratulations!"
Applause from all directions burst out quickly, along with congratulations and official award speeches.
Lin Qing originally breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and hugged Zhang Yi, and sent his blessing: "I said last year that you would definitely become the Best Actor, but I didn't expect that you would win this year. Congratulations to Brother Yi."
You deserve this best actor award."
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you for your good words!" Zhang Yi kept repeating the same Chinese words in his mouth. Lin Qingyuan felt that he was so excited that he was about to cry.
But even if he really cried, no one would make fun of him. Crying with joy is never a shameful thing, not to mention that the Golden Rooster Best Actor is the highest level of honor, and there are many people who want to cry but have no chance!
Sitting in my seat, I watched Zhang Yi deliver his acceptance speech on stage. The content was heartfelt and touching.
Out of respect, Lin Qingyuan listened very carefully.
But Liu Haocun beside him inexplicably suddenly spoke up to comfort him, "Brother Yuan, don't be discouraged. Let's continue to work hard next year! I believe it won't be long before you win the Best Actor award again!"
Lin Qingyuan was speechless for a moment, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, but considering that the live broadcast camera was likely to capture his subtle expressions, in order not to trigger unnecessary rhythm, he finally responded with a polite smile.
That's almost it. Just stop messing with me, okay?
At the end of the award ceremony, the Best Actress Award went to Zhang Xiaofei, the heroine of the movie with a box office of 5 billion.
The Li Huanying she played was...to be honest, she was just average.
But there really weren't any good movies last year.
In addition, the organizing committees of various awards have always disliked comedians, so Jia Ling has no chance of winning the award.
So besides Zhang Xiaofei, who else could it be?
It’s impossible to give it to Liu Haocun, right?
Lin Qingyuan could feel that Zhang Zifeng beside him was obviously a little disappointed, but what could be done?
In the future, the Golden Rooster Awards will definitely award the Best Actors and Best Actors to the post-00s generation, allowing them to take on the responsibility for the future of the film and television industry.
But definitely not now.
So let’s calm down and settle down.
Although a person actually only lives in a few beautiful moments in this life, aren't those lonely days when he endures unhappiness and suffering alone equally precious?
If you dwell too much on one or two failures in the past, your entire life will become meaningless.
...
"The 34th Golden Rooster Awards are announced! Zhang Yimou holds ten golden roosters, Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiaofei win the Best Actor and Actor"
"The 2021 Golden Rooster Awards have come to a successful conclusion! Congratulations to Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiaofei, the new Best Actor and Best Actress are well-deserved."
"2021 Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award Winners List! Zhang Yi was crowned emperor and Zhang Xiaofei was crowned queen, Lin Qingyuan, Yu Hewei and Zhang Zifeng regretted accompanying him. Netizens called out: Unexpected"
"After ten years of hard work, he finally won the Best Actor! Zhang Yi won the Golden Rooster Award. Did Lin Qingyuan lose to Hewei unjustly?"
"Zhang Yi was crowned emperor at the 34th Golden Rooster Awards, and his heart-felt speech moved people to tears. Looking back at the acceptance speeches of previous Golden Rooster best award winners, Lin Qingyuan was the most out of the circle in 2020"
There is no doubt that last night was not only a harvest night for Zhang Yi, but also a carnival party for black fans.
This group of anti-fans who had been madly stepped on by Irene before saw Lin Qingyuan accompanying him throughout the whole race. I am afraid they were even happier than Zhang Yi's fans. If Zhang Yi really had fans...
Lin Qingyuan didn't see these comments that jumped out in a hurry to make people's mentality, but he could think of it.
Of course, although he did have fantasies for a while and felt more or less regretful, he didn't feel so sad or so sad that he couldn't help himself.
Because he knows that his work and efforts in the past year have paid off and are not a failure.
Awards are the best recognition and commendation for actors, but they cannot directly determine whether an actor is successful.
Because only one person can win the Golden Rooster Best Actor and Best Actress award every year, if it is based on awards, wouldn’t all the actors in China become failed actors?
This is obviously unrealistic.
"Let the past be bygones. Although you didn't win an award this year, your hard work and development in the film and television industry last year was very effective. These are the best proof."
Yan Jun met Lin Qingyuan at Xiamen Airport just a few days after returning from the United States. He was also carrying information about a film and television drama project that will be launched next year and is waiting for investment.
"It's just a little emo, it will be adjusted soon." Lin Qingyuan took the stack of organized information from Yan Jun and read it.
The first is the TV series project controlled by Cehua:
"Go Where the Wind Is"
It is expected to start production at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter. The female lead Liu Yifei is planned to be cast, but the male lead has not yet been decided.
Although Lin Qingyuan's six-year agency contract with Cehua has expired and there is no longer any contractual relationship on paper, the bond between them will not be broken.
Lin Qingyuan would take the initiative to recommend Zhou Qiuyu's film "Burning Winter" to his old club Cehua to co-invest.
Cehua will also give up part of their investment share for next year's self-produced drama to Lin Qingyuan's Ruiyuan.
Only when everyone advances and retreats together, makes money together, and loses money together, can we accumulate cooperative friendship and make this not-so-strong cooperative relationship even closer.
"It's this actor..." Lin Qingyuan hesitated.
"What? You don't like Liu Yifei?" Yan Jun also knew very well what the relationship between Lin Qingyuan and Liu Yifei was.
It was nothing more than Liu Yifei's team's bundled marketing that covered the entire network and focused on sinking markets that made Lin Qingyuan unhappy.
But in the final analysis, there is no fundamental conflict of interest or direct contradiction between the two of them, so it's almost okay, there is no need to really make the relationship a life-and-death struggle.
"It's not that I don't like her, she still has some appeal now. Of course, I'm referring to the field of TV dramas, but I'm worried that her team will make a fuss about my participation in the investment and say that I'm her licking dog, specifically to let
Cehua opened a drama for her to act in, and even invested in it himself, just to protect her and love her secretly and magnificently."
"So, you understand..."
Yan Jun's face was so paralyzed that he almost couldn't stand it.
"I usually go online occasionally to read the outrageous comments of her fans." Lin Qingyuan curled his lips helplessly.
"So are you going to vote or not?"
"Invest, if you don't make this money, you won't make it in vain."
Then, Lin Qingyuan continued to scroll down, and soon saw the second project that made him very excited.
The evacuation-themed movie "Ten Thousand Miles Home" is directed by Rao Xiaozhi and produced by Guo Fan.
This was a cooperation invitation from Guo Fan. He knew that Lin Qingyuan was not scheduled to act in the drama, so he simply asked Lin Qingyuan to directly enter the game as an investor.
Guo Fan, Wu Jing, Lin Qingyuan, who were connected through "The Wandering Earth", and Wu Jinglin, Qingyuan and Deng Chao, who were connected through "Galaxy Tutoring Class". These are all relationships of a community of interests in which both prosper and suffer. The film and television dramas we usually encounter
Projects will basically all be invested together.
This film "A Long Journey Home" is naturally no exception.
The estimated production cost was 250 million, and Guo Fan gave Lin Qingyuan a maximum investment share of 50 million. Without any hesitation, Lin Qingyuan ate it all, leaving nothing behind.
Original Time and Space has a box office of 1.4 billion, making money no matter what.
Interestingly, the film’s current main investment companies are Guo Fan Pictures, Rao Xiaozhi’s Yiyi Culture Media, and Cehua.
If Lin Qingyuan's Ruiyuan enters the game, it will be a friend game. Several important investors are all his own people or friends of his own people, so maybe he can take this opportunity to tie Huace into his own profit chariot?
Then turn back...
"Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles"? Cartoon?
Produced by Chasing Light Animation Company, the total production cost is estimated to be 150 million, with a remaining share of 30 million, so I’ll take it all!
In fact, there has always been a market for domestic cartoons.
Nezha and Xiong Chuang are among the best.
Next up, the fighting movie "The Octagon" directed and starred by Golden Broom winner Wang Baoqiang.
Similar to the situation when Wu Jing was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", few companies in the industry were willing to participate, and obviously they were not very optimistic about our Bao Qiang's directing skills.
After all, who would do a loss-making business?
The information shows that the estimated production cost is 100 million. Baoqiang invested 50 million himself. Chen Sicheng has not participated in the show for the time being, and there is still a vacancy of 50 million.
Well, it looks like the situation is really serious.
It will be started in March or April, but I haven't raised enough funds yet, so I'm afraid I won't even be able to start it by then.
Out of brotherly love, Lin Qingyuan directly dialed Baoqiang's phone number, which had no previous call records.
It’s not that he is very optimistic about this movie, it’s just because he is a UFC fan, so he wants to support the promotion of UFC events in China.
I really don’t think that the 2 billion box office that this movie earned in the original time and space can bring five to six times the income to investors. If you invest 50 million, you can earn 300 million at most. It’s really not much...
Satisfied, Lin Qingyuan scrolled down again. Most of them were movies that you knew you would want to watch just by looking at their names.
Until the name appeared...
"Fishing Action"!
If he hadn't seen the eye-catching keywords of Ning Hao as producer and Olympic bid director, Lin Qingyuan might have skipped over to read the information on the next project.
The reason is very simple. The title of this movie really reveals a street-fighting flavor that cannot be concealed.
The production cost was 80 million, and Bad Monkey was the main investor. Lin Qingyuan really wanted to take all 80 million.
But there are rules for domestic entertainment.
Even if a film and television project produced by a top-notch team like this is self-made, everyone has to be called over to eat together, unless it is so bad that no one is willing to invest in it.
If you eat alone, you will be disliked and ostracized by others.
Therefore, Lin Qingyuan could only obtain an investment share of 30 million from Ning Hao in the end.
Of course this is enough.
After all, this movie originally cost 4 billion, and the box office will probably be 1.5 billion by then. This 30 million is enough to bring him more than 500 million in revenue.
Now that I think about it, the money is really good!
Of course, the premise is that the Chinese film market must develop first. It cannot be like the past few years. Either the market is sluggish, the box office of released movies is not good, or the movies that make money have already confirmed the investment share internally.
The main theme is a blockbuster, and at the same time, he must have a high enough status in the circle to qualify for entry.
Otherwise, the sad old man will come to see Bikong and shed tears.
"Then there is one last thing. Zhang Yimou sent you an invitation this morning. He has a costume suspense project planned to be launched in the middle of the year. I want to see if you have the schedule." Yan Jun then added the new script invitation.
A costume suspense movie to be released in the middle of the year...
Isn’t this Azolla?
"There is definitely a schedule. Kuangbiao will officially start production in late January next year and is expected to be completed by the end of April. But personally, I don't really want to join his team." Lin Qingyuan went on to express his worries.
"There is no doubt about Zhang Yimou's directing ability, but his ability to make movies is quite limited, and I have to spend a considerable part of my time next year to promote the development of music, so it's best not to schedule it too tightly, otherwise it will only work in each direction.
They haven’t even left yet.”
"Then just reject it?" Yan Jun asked.
Lin Qingyuan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Well, brother Jun, please ask us if we can invest first. Although I don't want to take on this drama, it would be a good thing to spend some money to get in touch with him."
The total box office of "Manjianghongyuan Time and Space" is 4.5 billion.
The box office was divided into 4.2 billion and 1.6 billion was distributed to the film studio.
But the cost is only 200 to 300 million at most.
The rumored cost of 500 million is definitely false. It doesn't look like Riverside is costing 500 million. Even if the salaries of a number of big-name actors are included, it won't be that high.
There is a high probability that the cost is deliberately exaggerated to facilitate marketing to gain sympathy and get audiences to buy tickets and go to the cinema to watch the movie.
So if you successfully get involved, you can easily earn a few hundred million, and the bad reputation and negative impact caused by Man Jianghong's underhanded marketing will not affect him as an investor.
Who wouldn’t want to do such a cost-effective business?
