Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety Seven: Double-Material Actor.
When the midnight box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" was announced, it was already 3:30 in the morning. However, even so late at night, there were still many media rushing to report on it.
"The box office for the midnight show has exceeded 40 million, and we are scheduled to be the box office champion during the Lunar New Year!"
Articles with similar titles immediately began to spread widely on the Internet. Unfortunately, even night owls have gone to bed at this point. Not many netizens actually saw it in the first place, and the relative comments seemed a bit deserted.
But after 6:30 in the morning, the comment area becomes lively. At this time, office workers are basically using their free time on the subway or bus to check Weibo, and these office workers are also the largest box office contributors to Chinese-language films.
The cost of entertainment in big cities is very high. Spending money in nightclubs can easily cost hundreds or even thousands. If you play too late, it will delay your work the next day. Ordinary office workers can’t afford it. However, on the weekends, you can meet up with a few friends or
I am my favorite girl. Watching a movie is economical and affordable. This is why the box office of Chinese movies continues to rise.
Of course, having demand does not mean that audiences are not picky. In fact, today's audiences are much more demanding than those who were 10 or 20 years ago. Some bad movies could be produced by manipulating film critics more than 10 or 20 years ago.
Due to the guidance of public opinion, audiences at that time were not very good at expressing their opinions online, which resulted in some film and television companies still making money.
But now in the era of mobile Internet, the audience has almost zero tolerance for bad movies. Some movies that are still passable cannot escape the complaints of the audience. Many film and television companies and directors who used to make a lot of money from bad movies,
They also gradually disappeared from the audience's sight.
The box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 420 million on the first day. Once such results were announced, many colleagues sighed. As expected, Han Fei is still the same Han Fei.
Of course, this is not really news. Before Han Fei's films hit the streets, everyone got used to it over time. But what is different this time is that Han Fei's performance made many people feel...
surprise.
In the past, everyone still had the impression that Han Fei's performance was "qualified". Even the role of Lu Yiyi in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was not recognized by all audiences. At first, he relied on the role of Lu Yiyi to get the Huabiao Film Award.
When awarding an award for outstanding actor, almost all the media expressed opposition.
As for the role of Zhang Mazi this time, no one found fault with Han Fei. He showed an image of Zhang Mazi who was domineering and gangster.
This is also the biggest difference between actors and popular artists. Popular artists become famous very quickly and become famous quickly. Everything they do comes from their traffic. When they are popular, their net worth can even be comparable to that of first-line actors, but when they become popular, they are immediately worthless.
.
And actors' popularity depends on their works. Which of the big-name actors in the film and television industry has few scandals? They have even been scolded bloody? But once they have works, they still have a chance to turn around.
It's like when Zhang Ziyi was exposed a lot of dirt, but she couldn't handle it. She did have acting skills and international reputation. Anyone in China who wanted to make a difference at the North American box office really had to hire her.
Another example is that back then, Fan Bingbing was criticized by various domestic media. After the movie "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", the direction of public opinion immediately changed. Of course, what happened next was that she was seeking her own death and couldn't stop her.
In "Let the Bullets Fly", Han Fei's performance was definitely at the Best Actor level, and he did not fall behind in several scenes against the two best actor Shen Yimin and He Mingyu. Only then did the audience realize that Han Fei's original title of Best Actor It’s not that he gained his fame in vain, perhaps, it’s just that he hasn’t met a role that suits him before?
So amidst the praise, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" has been soaring. The box office exceeded the 3 billion mark in the first week, and finally ended with a box office of 5.6 billion. Although the box office is not as good as some previous blockbusters, you need to know The cost of "Let the Bullets Fly" is only 200 million. In terms of revenue ratio, it is definitely a huge profit.
This year's Lunar New Year period is also particularly exciting. A total of five movies have a box office exceeding 1.5 billion. The entire movie market shows obvious signs of recovery, which also gives many film and television companies hope.
After the year, many newly established film and television companies, studios and independent filmmakers began to become active in the industry, and Han Fei's "Feiniao Film and Television" also set up a special foundation to help some talented people who suffer from no filming funds. , films made by independent filmmakers who have no distribution channels.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar in the industry. In just half a month, "Feiniao Film and Television" received hundreds of resumes and script outlines.
Of course, most of them are just fantasies. Some so-called independent filmmakers have never even touched a camera, but they did find some pretty good scripts. Of course, these scripts are still in their relatively immature stages. Before you start shooting, you need to go through at least two more worldview refinements.
The key is that "Feiniao Film and Television" has gained many talented young film directors. According to Jiang Qinghou, they are the future.
As the number of directors increased, it was natural that other crew members would also need to be recruited. Therefore, the news that "Feiniao Film and Television" had begun large-scale recruitment quickly spread within the industry.
Over the years, the welfare benefits of "Feiniao Film and Television" have always been the object of jealousy among peers in the industry. However, "Feiniao Film and Television" has never shown signs of large-scale expansion. Small-scale recruitment cannot meet everyone's needs. This time, it is finally possible. Large-scale recruitment naturally attracted a large number of professional talents to apply for jobs.
Some even come to apply for jobs while they are still working. If they can apply for the job, they will naturally quit their jobs. Of course, if you ask for leave during work, you must find some excuse. Therefore, those who are sick or have relatives who have died, within a few days, they will Major film and television companies in China have a lot of new patients.
Of course, many people meet old colleagues when applying for jobs, and both parties will smile knowingly.
"Didn't you say you had diarrhea? My dear, it turns out you were secretly trying to trick Chen Cang!"
"You still have the nerve to accuse me? You didn't even tell your buddies that you were applying for the job? Are you afraid that if I admit you, you won't be chosen?"
That's it when you meet your colleagues, but the most embarrassing thing is when you meet your immediate boss. When you asked for leave, you burst into tears, but in the end, you applied for a job without telling your boss?
The boss was actually quite embarrassed. After all, if the company found out about this kind of thing, he would not suffer the consequences, so the two parties made a tacit agreement that they did not know each other. They had not met here today. Well, that's right, that's it.
The expansion of personnel naturally brings about the shortage of management positions, so many old employees have been promoted to leadership positions. However, for the old employees of "Feiniao Film and Television", this is nothing. Most of the employees who left "Feiniao Film and Television" have taken up leadership positions.
This is also related to Han Fei's consistent management style. Even if he is a small set manager in the crew, he has a very clear understanding of all shooting matters, and it is more than enough to serve as some middle and low-level management.
Therefore, although it has experienced a large-scale expansion of its business, "Feiniao Film and Television" is still quite stable overall, and there has not been a situation where a small company suddenly becomes larger and its management is chaotic.
In May, "Bird Films" reported that "Let the Bullets Fly" has been nominated for the Golden Rooster Awards. Looking at all the Chinese-language films last year, "Let the Bullets Fly" is undoubtedly the most dazzling movie.
Therefore, it is certain that "Let the Bullets Fly" will win. The key is how many nominations it can get and the number of awards it will win. Of course, the most interesting thing is who can win this year's Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor.
Although the role of Master Tang is brilliant, the possibility of winning the Golden Rooster Award is relatively low. After all, this is a functional role that acts as a lubricant, and it is easy for the judges to ignore it. This is a disadvantage of the character and has nothing to do with acting skills.
.
The most discussed topic in the media is who can get the nomination between Han Fei and He Mingyu. Basically, whoever gets the nomination means who will win the Golden Rooster Award this year.
Netizens also have different opinions on this, with various analysis and comment posts flying all over the place, and even directly boosted the number of clicks on "Let the Bullets Fly" on video websites.
However, this kind of debate is naturally fruitless. Both sides insist on each other's opinions, which greatly affects the promotion work of many movies selected to be released during the summer vacation.
You finally made an announcement, but all the people talking about were movies released last year, which is very frustrating.
In September, the Golden Rooster Awards started its preliminary judging ceremony, which also attracted widespread attention from netizens. However, the final list of nominations will not be released until November, so there is no point in being anxious.
After finally waiting until November, the nomination list was announced. "Let the Bullets Fly" finally won six awards: Best Director, Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art, and Best Actor.
Of course, everyone expected to receive so many nominations. What is really surprising is that Han Fei and He Mingyu were nominated for Best Actor at the same time.
This situation is quite rare in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards. It caused widespread discussion. Netizens who were still arguing before originally thought that they would be able to slap each other in the face when the nomination list was announced. However, it did not happen. The answer seems to be
It still has to be revealed at the last moment.
As a result, the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony on the evening of November 23rd has received great attention, and all movie fans are eagerly looking forward to it.
"Welcome to the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony. The next person who is going to the red carpet is the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly"..."
What everyone didn't expect was that Han Fei and the others did not "match men and women" like other crews. Instead, three men walked the red carpet together.
For a moment, three men in suits and ties attracted everyone's attention. Han Fei was in the middle, Shen Yiming and He Mingyu were on the left and right. They were waving and interacting with the fans at the scene. They were confident, tough, and full of male hormones, which immediately attracted the attention of female fans at the scene.
of cheers and exclamations.
Naturally, the on-site host would not miss such a good interview opportunity.
"You three, please stay. Today's appearance is so handsome. Can you tell me whose idea it was?"
Han Fei laughed and said: "Old Shen's wife was very strict and said she would not let him hook up with other actresses. We saw it was too pitiful for him to walk on the red carpet alone, so we had to sacrifice ourselves and accompany him."
"That's right." He Mingyu nodded with deep approval.
This is not completely made up. Tao Yuehua is indeed very strict with Shen Yiming. Everyone in the crew knows this, and calls every night to check on him.
Shen Yiming could only roll his eyes and pretend he didn't hear it.
The format of this Golden Rooster Awards is similar to the previous ones. "Let the Bullets Fly" won the Best Cinematography from the very beginning, which was considered a good start.
But it's a pity that the best art was missed by Wenqi.
"The winner of the Best Director is Jiang Qinghou..."
The whole audience was immediately excited, which clearly shows the popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly" among the audience.
Jiang Qinghou was also very coquettish today. He was dressed up and dressed up. According to him, his daughter would be watching a program in front of the TV today and he wanted to show his best side.
Well, Jiang Qinghou’s acceptance speech was entirely for his wife and daughter. Hey, he openly showed his affection, and the audience was fed a lot of dog food, saying that they were not very careful.
Subsequently, Han Fei missed out on the Best Screenplay award, but he also won the Best Feature Film award. This time, Han Fei did not go to accept the award, but asked Wen Qi to take the stage on behalf of the crew.
Wen Qi was quite disappointed when he didn't win the Best Art Award this time, but when Han Fei asked him to come on stage to receive the award, the guy was immediately confused.
In the end, I was stunned to read a long speech of thanks, and it turned out to be a small winning note prepared in advance.
Subsequently, some awards were awarded, such as directorial debut and best supporting actor and actress. However, the best actor that everyone paid most attention to was never announced. Apparently the organizers of the Golden Rooster Awards also took this into consideration and deliberately reserved this award. At the end.
Finally, all other awards have been completed, and the audience is eagerly waiting for the results to be announced.
The award-giving guest glanced at the envelope, showed an incredulous look, and then read loudly.
"The winner of the Best Actor is - Han Fei!"
The scene suddenly became quiet. This result was expected, but when they actually heard the name Han Fei, many people were still in a daze.
"So, Han Fei can be considered to have won the Golden Rooster and won the double Best Actor Award?"
As for the "Let the Bullets Fly" crew, when the answer was announced, everyone jumped up, and Han Fei's mind suddenly stopped. It wasn't until He Mingyu hugged him gracefully and urged him to go on stage to receive the award that he reacted. come over.
After receiving the trophy from the presenter, Han Fei raised it high in the direction of the crew and said: "Thank you everyone for your recognition of me. In fact, I know that the reason why this award was given to me is not because I am better than He Mingyu." The teacher performed well, but because I am younger than him, maybe people think I need this honor more."
He Mingyu waved his hands and gave Han Fei a thumbs up, then clapped.
Such graceful behavior by the two also received warm applause from the audience.
