688 The ceiling of the Chinese film industry and see you on Monday
Text Volume 688 The ceiling of the Chinese film industry and the headlines of entertainment news on Monday, February 18th, temporarily belong to Cao Xuan, the first Berlin Best Actor in Chinese film history, which has become a big event that caused a sensation on the Internet.
Of course, this is also because it was Cao Xuan who won the award. If it had been someone else, he might have been popular, but it wouldn't be such an exaggeration.
And Cao Xuan was not idle either. He went from Germany to the UK to participate in this year's Brit Awards and took home several trophies.
Many people are numb.
Cao Xuan has been competing for awards in the past two months. He is a Grammy winner and a Berlin Best Actor. Good news comes frequently. Some netizens who don't pay much attention to this are confused. They don't know how many awards he has won.
award.
However, the Berlin Best Actor is, after all, the only actor in the film and has special achievements. He is also the most eye-catching presence in these awards after the Grammy.
This is also due to the fact that Cao Xuan has won more international music awards. Although there are also foreign film awards, most of them are Pheasant Awards.
This is the first time for even Cao Xuan to receive such an authoritative and highly valuable Best Actor Award. Things are rare and valuable, so naturally they attract more attention.
Many movie fans even took the opportunity to clamor for Cao Xuan's status in film history, wanting to elevate him to a higher level.
In the past, Cao Xuan's commercial films ranked first in film history, and ranked first in international influence and popularity.
He is also the first to collect all the Grand Slam awards in China, but the other big names have more awards. Although they are not unique, they are still among the best.
The only weakness may be that I haven't won many foreign awards.
It can't be said to be a weakness, after all, except for Uncle Ge and Tony Leung, few male actors have such an honor.
Xia Yu's situation is quite special. Everyone knows that he was not yet an adult when he won the Venice Best Actor Award. It was more of a movie role bonus, and the gold content of the award actually had to be greatly discounted.
But Cao Xuan is different. His award-winning situation is similar to that of Uncle Ge and others, and the gold content is naturally very different.
In this way, Cao Xuan's last so-called shortcoming no longer exists.
Not talking about acting qualifications, comprehensive calculation of achievements and honors, Cao Xuan is unmatched in the Chinese film industry.
Even with the latter, so-called qualifications and acting skills, Cao Xuan also had a very high position in the Chinese film industry.
After all, these things cannot be quantified, and are often compared to achievements and achievements, and this is Cao Xuan's strength, which naturally gives him a distinguished status.
Apart from other things, now it is said that Cao Xuan's acting ability is better than that of Li Xuejian and Liang Chaowei. I am afraid that many people will not agree. But on the other hand, if Cao Xuan is better than the two, I am afraid that there are many opponents but also many people who agree.
Not convinced, a series of historical winning records + Chinese Grand Slam + Berlin Best Actor, who dares to shamelessly say that he is better than Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan has long been the ceiling for actors in the Chinese film industry, but to this day, there is absolutely no controversy.
A little bit of leverage, but not many people paid attention to it...
………
Caojia Hutong, Honor Room
Cao Xuan placed the newly obtained golden and silver bears in a more conspicuous glass cabinet, and the most conspicuous thing was the main wall facing the main entrance, where a few framed certificates were hung.
The one in the middle is the [Three Good Students] certificate for the first semester of the first-year class of a five-star primary school that Cao Li just received during the winter vacation.
The value is quite high. There are more than 40 children in a class, but only three can get the "Three Good Students", which is said to be the top three in academic performance.
Even though he is in the first grade, the final exam has already taken three subjects: mathematics, Chinese, and English. Although the latter is more of a supplement, it also counts for points.
This is already pretty good. Some primary schools have updated the test papers and started to add Mathematical Olympiad and other foreign language courses in the third and fourth grade. It is said that in some junior high schools, ordinary students cannot pass the Mathematical Olympiad.
The entrance exams for students in the capital may be less difficult than in other places, but the intensity of education competition is actually not low, especially for some parents who hope their children will succeed.
Cao Xuan was secretly speechless when Zeng Li briefly talked about some of his experiences.
Putting aside the junior and senior high schools, there were not so many homework courses in elementary school. He would run around the village every day, attracting cats and dogs, catching fish and climbing trees.
It's great to do it for the family
Some of the work included delivering food to the fields, boiling water, collecting firewood, feeding chickens, etc.
Even compared to Hu Jing and Zeng Li, who have been practicing martial arts and opera since childhood, Cao Xuan is relatively happy. Although his family is poorer and his material conditions are poor, because he is an only son, his parents are reluctant to let him endure hardship, so his mental environment is still very happy.
This kind of almost suffocating study pressure was something Cao Xuan himself could not have imagined. Putting it into perspective, he couldn't help but feel tense.
However, the family does not have many requirements for Cao Li. In addition to completing homework, the family does not force him to study.
Moreover, she is smart, has a good foundation in kindergarten, and can be tutored at home. At least the first-grade courses are not difficult for her, and she has been ranked first in the class for a long time.
However, taking into account the child's overall quality, the family also discussed whether to develop a hobby or specialty for her to cultivate her sentiments and help her grow in all aspects.
Fortunately, my family has this condition, and I don’t even need to sign up for any interest classes for the time being, my parents can teach me.
For example, dance, the second mother Hu Jing's specialty, opera and performance, the old profession of her biological mother Zeng Di.
Cao Xuan can teach even more. In terms of vocal music, he is a master in the industry and is at the top level in the world.
If he wants to learn a musical instrument, Cao Xuan knows at least a dozen instruments, specializing in piano, guitar, and harmonica. He is also proficient in suona, and other instruments are not inferior to ordinary musicians.
In addition, Cao Xuan is also good at calligraphy and has some knowledge of traditional Chinese painting. Although his skills are not particularly strong, he can easily teach children how to get started.
Cao Xuan has mastered the remaining skills such as swimming, fishing, football, martial arts, shooting, horse riding, speech/broadcasting, magic, lock picking, etc. to varying degrees. Cao Li can learn whichever one he wants to learn.
Cao Xuan didn't teach her, he just asked her to try which hobby she likes more. If she can teach her, she can teach her. If she can't, she can hire a teacher.
It's not just Cao Li, Cao Yang is the same, but he doesn't have as many choices as his sister. He started practicing martial arts with his father when he was more than two years old, hoping to become a hero.
Of course, the child was still young and his muscles and bones hadn't grown yet. Cao Xuan didn't dare to train him, so he just coaxed him and played with him until he was older before taking him in.
Cao Li is currently most interested in calligraphy and piano, but he has not made up his mind, so he will learn from Cao Xuan first. If he has other ideas, he can also try them.
Zeng Li, who had just finished recruiting Chinese drama students, looked at Cao Xuan who was admiring the trophy and couldn't help but laugh.
Cao Xuan told the truth that when he first won the Grammy, he wanted to sleep with the trophy in his arms. Later, when he won more than 20 Grammys, his excitement was not as exciting as catching a 10-pound carp.
Well, although he has never caught a fish weighing more than 10 pounds, so he must be more excited than winning a Grammy...
But Zeng Li couldn't help pouting, he would just do it next time. He really thought that he was the one who won the Grammy by winning the top three awards in Europe.
So far, Cao Xuan has not even won the three gold best actor awards. He wants to win two of the top three awards in Europe. It is not a fool's dream, but it is not much different.
But I can’t mention who made him the best actor in Berlin.
No matter how much honor Cao Xuan has in the music scene, he can't show off at home. On the contrary, as an actor, after all, Hu Jing and Zeng Li are both in the same industry, so he can still show off.
Before, Hu Jing used to have a Tokyo movie queen to yell at her, but now Cao Xuan is frightened.
Hu Jing was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him for the past two days. If she hadn't had a secret in her heart and knew that her acting skills were not as good as Cao Xuan's, and she had also deteriorated over the years, she might have been able to return to the film industry in anger and break up with Cao Xuan.
Wrist.
Zeng Li ignored him, just like Cao Xuan said, it's just as long as the novelty is over.
Comparing one's feelings with others, if she won the Best Actress Award in Berlin, she might not be as good as Cao Xuan, and she would have to laugh out loud even when she sleeps.
Cao Xuan was stunned. Of course he knew that we would see each other on Monday. In his previous life, he had followed the trend and came here on Friday.
I see that I often force people to work overtime on weekends, causing countless staff members and editors to yell at me.
But there is one thing to say, although meeting on Monday is convenient for the media, the traffic is greater on weekends.
But aside from Zhou Ji's meeting, as soon as Zeng Li mentioned this matter, he basically knew it.
Most likely, one of her good students named Wen showed up...
Because it is still a relatively well-known gossip, Cao Xuan still has an impression, but the original time and space seems to be in March, and now it is more than half a month earlier.
But it is also understandable that the entertainment industry has changed a lot now, and Wen Zhang himself has also been affected. It is normal for someone to find something fishy in advance.
Cao Xuan didn't quite understand Zeng Li's thoughts. Although they were both scumbags, they just didn't want to make things worse for each other. There was no reason to save them.
Zeng Li was even more angry than she thought about this matter. The latter was a student she had watched grow up, and she still cared about him very much. She had always regarded him as her proud disciple.
She had personally attended Wen Zhang's wedding and her child's 100th birthday party. She even used Cao Xuan's connections to buy a peace charm for her child.
Although she may not believe this, it is a good sign after all. For those who believe this, it is hard to find a fortune. That person's popularity method is limited, and ordinary people can't get it even if they want to.
The more this happened, the more she became angry about Wen Zhang, and it wasn't just ordinary anger.
Women have a strong sense of empathy. If you put in some emotions for the attacker, the original three points of anger will become five points or even more.
Zeng Li was furious, showing regret and disgust as to why I am such a bastard student.
But Cao Xuan could still see that he still had some teacher-student friendship with Wen Zhang, and he hated iron more than steel, so leaving Cao Xuan alone was actually to protect him to a certain extent.
To put it bluntly, there are many people staring at Wen Zhang's position, and even for those within Fanxing, there is a certain temptation.
If Cao Xuan doesn't say anything, there is no guarantee that others will not be attacked by him, but if Cao Xuan makes an explanation, even if he doesn't care about it, why would he say anything if he really doesn't care.
Anyone with a smarter mind will probably have an idea, at least they won't add insult to injury.
For Wen Zhang, if the most powerful Fanxing stood aside and watched, his situation would be much easier.
Cao Xuan cruelly broke Zeng Li's student filter and clearly told Wen Zhang the real situation.
Nowadays, Wen Zhang has Zeng Li as his backer and has the sages of the West Palace to help him. Although he is very honest in the galaxy, outside, he may be a little more arrogant than in the original time and space.
Cao Xuan alone had heard of several cases, but they had nothing to do with him and he didn't bother to care.
As for Zeng Li's teacher-student filter, no one told her, and she might not believe it even if she did. Even if she did believe it, she would occasionally give him a few words of advice and obey orders honestly, but it soon became solid.
Cao Xuan is a man, not a god, and Fanxing is not so awesome that he can control the entire entertainment industry.
More importantly, this guy has offended too many people. He is popular, and Cao Xuan's face is easy to use. Everyone like him wants to be beaten. If Cao Xuan insists on supporting him, everyone may be afraid, but if it is an ordinary person,
To protect him, no one dared to say anything openly, and it was impossible for Cao Xuan to watch him every day even if he violated Cao Xuan privately.
Cao Xuan feels that the other party is very lucky, at least the entertainment industry has not implemented the system of banning bad artists, otherwise he can directly change careers.
However, even if the worst is not the case now, it is certain that one's vitality will be severely damaged, and one will definitely suffer losses if he is involved in a scandal.
But wait for two years, settle down, avoid the limelight, and there is still Dongshan
Hope for renewal.
After all, even in later generations, cheating and cheating will not be directly banned. Officials only condemn it and do not issue clear opinions on abandonment like those legal experts. So in principle, there is still hope for a comeback, but it depends on the strength of the backers, and
Whether the platform audience will buy it or not.
Many times, even if an artist makes a mistake and is not banned, he or she is at risk, the platform is unwilling to use it, and the audience is boycotting it, so there is no chance for him to make a comeback.
But as long as there is insurance, and it is not a principled and specific mistake, you can still go ashore if you are ambiguous.
Cao Xuan has no intention of helping him, but if the latter is smart, contacts his old classmates, occasionally shows up on the big ship Fanxing, and keeps a low profile, he can land safely.
Zeng Li didn't really want to talk. It seemed he was really angry. He also felt that the students like him had a lot of troubles. He became more and more tired, so he simply didn't care about anything.
Just because "Hunting" won the award doesn't mean it's over. It's now being prepared non-stop for release, and Cao Xuan has to briefly show off.
·····
The next day, Cao Xuan came to Magic City to participate in the road show promotion of "Hunting".
As a film that won the Berlin Golden Bear + Berlin Best Actor, although "Hunting" is a literary film, it has also received good attention, and the outside world is still looking forward to this film.
Although Fan Xing is not looking forward to the box office, he will not push the money out if he can earn more, so he quickly released it while taking advantage of the popularity of the Berlin Film Festival.
Although it is the off-season for movies now, it is also true that there are not too many competitors.
At present, the only rival may be "The Hobbit 2", but the themes and audiences of the two sides are completely different, and there is nothing to compare.
The official release of "The Hunt" on February 21 was not the first time that Chinese movie fans saw this film.
Two days later, Time.com officially gave the score - 9.2 points, which was a very rare score for domestic films in 2014.
Even among the works of Cao Xuan and Lao Mouzi, it is considered extremely high, becoming their high-scoring masterpiece.
Film critics and fans also praised this movie a lot, otherwise the score would not be so high.
[A movie that makes people feel cold from their feet to their scalp, kind people are doomed to tragedy]
[The horror of children, at the beginning of human life, nature is inherently evil]
[In the hunting ground where the cold wind blows, the protagonist looks like a Canghuang elk]
[My chest feels tight after watching it. My friend has never experienced such a thought-provoking feeling from a Chinese movie]
[Actually, I think it’s not dark enough. If the male protagonist is forced to death, or the male protagonist kills the girl and then commits suicide, the plot will be more shocking]
[There is a bit of a perversion upstairs]
[Children know very little about the suffering in the world, so they are naive and extremely cruel]
[I understand why Cao Xuan won the Best Actor Award. The feeling of despair of being isolated really makes me want to cry]
[The look in the eyes that looked back at the girl’s father was amazing, numb, heartbreaking, disappointed, depressed, desperate, but without anger or resentment. The male protagonist is really kind]
[He actually forgave that little girl, it’s incredible]
[If I were the male protagonist, I would have turned dark long ago]
[The more this happens, the darker it feels. After all, if someone else is not as kind as the male protagonist, he may not be able to get the light]
[The male protagonist also did not get the light, and the last shot left him still in the hunting ground]
【……】
"Hunting" is a good movie that makes people calm down and everyone can express their feelings.
The above are only part of them. Some people think more and even make various associations, some of which are far-fetched, and some of which are indeed somewhat meaningful.
However, Cao Xuan and others will never admit many of these people's speculations.
It's a bit like "Let the Bullets Fly", casually
No matter how you interpret it, we are just bad movie makers and don’t understand what you are talking about.
Frankly speaking, this kind of movie is suitable for downloading or buying discs. You can watch it by yourself or invite a few friends to find a quiet place. You can even watch it several times without getting tired of it, and the more you watch it, the more details it becomes.
The effect in theaters is a little worse, but the quality of the film itself, coupled with the popularity of Cao Xuan and the Berlin Film Festival, still did not deter enthusiastic fans and audiences.
The box office in the first week is close to 250 million, and the box office is expected to be 600 to 800 million. The specific increase depends on the increase. After all, it is difficult to estimate this kind of literary and artistic film.
But even so, this was far beyond everyone's expectations.
At the very beginning, everyone’s expectation was only 100 million to 200 million. Even if we got the Berlin Bears, we didn’t dare to add too much.
But it turns out that the mainland film market has finally matured. As long as it has enough gimmicks and popularity, it can give you an eye-popping box office hit.
