This year's Golden Rooster Awards is nothing to talk about. The three main awards, Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Actor, were all taken away by "I'm Not the God of Medicine." It can be said that it is what everyone expects.
Normally, every year due to the characteristics of the Golden Rooster Awards, commercial films basically fail to receive any awards, and there will be a lot of controversy after the awards, but this year there was no such thing.
The biggest buzz before the awards was that "Let the Bullets Fly" didn't get a single nomination.
However, after the awards were presented, the only voice left online was the sound of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" having a great harvest at the Golden Rooster Awards.
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" swept the 28th Golden Rooster Awards, winning four consecutive awards for Best Director, Best Feature Film, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay!"
Xinlang Entertainment used the word "sweep", which is very rare in the Golden Rooster Awards. As a professional award, the Golden Rooster Awards divide the cake every year. Many times, if there is not enough, they have to lay two yolk eggs.
It is almost rare for a movie to win multiple awards.
The success of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" at the Golden Rooster Awards has also made netizens who have been paying attention feel relieved.
"Where is that guy from Optoelectronics? Come out quickly. Didn't you say that the officials are very unhappy and want to ban Li Qian? He will definitely not win the Golden Rooster Award. Where is the person?"
"I just laughed. "I'm Not the God of Medicine" didn't film the dark side either. It's not like some directors who specialize in filming the dark side of society. Neither the police nor the drug dealers are villains. They should be banned!"
"Best Director, Best Feature Film, Best Actor, just short of Best Actress, this is clearly the official recognition."
"I'm really happy. Some people were pretending to be cool two days ago. People who didn't know it thought that the Director of Optoelectronics was also surfing the Internet."
"As for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" winning awards, it's actually not as simple as it seems. I just want to say that everyone who understands understands it. If you don't understand, I won't explain too much. After all, you just know what you know, so just savor it carefully."
"Do you understand Nima? Are you from Lu Shu? You know everything. You have a book to tell me in front of my Chinese teacher?"
"I feel relieved that the official approval will not target Li Qian. I am also worried that "The God of Medicine" will offend people by promoting medical reform."
"If you put it this way, when Li Qian makes comedy films, it's not because of the above restrictions but because he really wants to make them?"
"If Li Qian wants to shoot it himself, then you can really look forward to it. After all, there is nothing to say about imagination!"
...
Previously, some people on the Internet who claimed to be insiders in the entertainment industry said that many departments and Optoelectronics were very dissatisfied with Li Qian and wanted to ban him from directing for three years.
At first, few people believed it, but gradually more and more people like this started to appear. Some people said that they had relatives in Optoelectronics, and even said that they worked in the General Administration of Optoelectronics and had heard some rumors.
The more rumors spread, the more evil it became, and more and more people started making noises.
Netizens are also so idle that they even spread the news about the end of the world in 2012.
Although they didn't believe it, some netizens speculated that there must be some dissatisfaction with "I'm Not the God of Medicine" because of such a big fuss.
However, with "I'm Not the God of Medicine" sweeping the Golden Rooster Awards, this voice has been completely silenced.
Moreover, the only person in his twenties to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director has broken the age record for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director in decades.
Zhang Yimou won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director for "No One Less" at the age of 49, and Cheng Kaige won the award for "With You" at the age of 50.
Jiang Wen has never been nominated for a single Golden Rooster Award and has only been nominated for Best Actor twice. The last time he was nominated for Best Actor was for his role in Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum", but it was taken away by Zhang Yimou who starred in "Old Well".
There has been no Golden Rooster nomination since 1988. This time Jiang Wen from "Let the Bullets Fly" simply didn't sign up. Unlike what is said on the Internet, not a single nomination will be given for the Golden Rooster Award. How can one be nominated if he has not signed up?
However, even if he signed up, Jiang Wen knew that his efforts would be in vain.
Jiang Wen was chatting with Marco about his new film that day. He was filled with emotion when he saw the news about the Golden Rooster Awards.
Marco is one of the investors and producer of "Let the Bullets Fly". He used to work at Golden Shield Film and Television of the Ministry of Public Security, and later went overseas. The first film he invested in was "Let the Bullets Fly", and then he planned to invest in Jiang Wen's
New film.
"This Li Qian seems to be only 27 years old. When did the older generation become so tolerant to young people?"
Jiang Wen shook his head, "He deserves this award. Seriously, "A Perfect World" should have won it. But let's not forget that the older generation is stubborn, but they also prefer young people who are obedient and sensible.
Li Qian is not like our group of people, we were so temperamental when we were young."
Marco was slightly stunned. It was indeed like this. When these directors were young, each of them had a bigger temper. Jiang Wen almost got into a fight with Zhang Yimou when he was filming "Red Sorghum".
He was young and energetic, but he didn't win any awards early on, so he often complained. Once he complained, the old men at the Federation of Literary and Art Circles became unhappy.
Li Qian's previous three films all received high box office reviews, and he was only nominated for Golden Rooster Best Director once.
However, Li Qian, who has quite a temper, never said a bad word about the Golden Rooster Award to the outside world, and was not even dissatisfied at all.
Sensible young people are liked by the older generation, and they seem to be the same everywhere.
Jiang Wen returned to the topic, "Come on, let's not talk about this anymore. The investment of 300 million for "The Case of Yan Ruisheng" will be completed within a year, Lao Ma."
"The Case of Yan Ruisheng", later known as "One Step Away", is Jiang Wen's new film. It tells the story of the murder of the winner of the Huaguo election in the Beiyang period.
A big investment of 300 million, but Marco looked relaxed, "No problem, now it's easy for you to get 300 million investment, it's not as difficult as before, and you plan to make it into a comedy, so more people will invest."
That's right, Jiang Wen actually wanted to make a comedy about a murder case that caused a sensation in Shanghai 90 years ago.
"It just so happens that Li Qian also shoots comedies. I'd like to see who of us can do it better!" Jiang Wen laughed.
...
The Golden Rooster Award for Best Director did not have any impact on Li Qian, so he just did what he had to do.
Work as usual, rest, and prepare the script.
I came to the company in the morning to guide the screenwriting team of "Celebrating More Than Years". Li Qian determined the general outline of the script and the main characters, and the screenwriting team wrote it very quickly.
Du Yang also has several new projects, including movies and TV series. After all, the company is on the right track, and there is also a China Film Joint Distribution Company that cooperates with four optoelectronics. It has a lot of distribution business. The four optoelectronics have
You can also get involved in the TV drama business.
The days passed day by day, and October ended quietly.
There are no new movies released in the second half of October. There is a Hollywood superhero movie "Green Lantern".
Hollywood can really make anyone become a superhero. Next time, let’s just forget about cuckolds and help those men who have been cuckolded to eradicate adulterers.
The love movie "Happiness Quota" starring Lin Chiling, Chen Kun and Liao Fan took in 25 million box office in two weeks.
Lin Chi-ling, who was promoted from a model to an A-list actress, has not made much noise on the big screen since "Red Cliff", but she is very popular on the Internet.
On the other hand, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", a film starring animals, was a box office hit, with box office sales reaching 60 million in three days, and its reputation was also pretty good.
Time has entered November, and the Lunar New Year season is about to begin. As a pioneer, "Love Is Not Blind" has already started extensive publicity.
Tong Liya's two romance films have been huge hits on Double Eleven for two consecutive years. When "Love Is Not Blind" first started being promoted, its popularity has soared.
In November, there will be a costume blockbuster "The Yang Family" starring Zhang Baizi and Ren Xianqi. There is a film by Ren Xianqi. Needless to say, the box office will definitely be a hit. It has been many years. Why can't these film companies understand this?
As another heroine of the scandal, Chung Xintong also made a comeback and starred in the horror film "Midnight Dream".
Liu Zhenwei once again made a fool of himself. He had just finished causing trouble for "A Westward Journey" and then came to cause trouble for "Eastern Journey to the West".
Last time "The Treasure Box" just had a title, so this time the title won't be changed at all, it will just be "2011".
In addition to these movies, there is also "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" starring Liu Yufei, Li Ming, and Feng Shaofeng, but it is still a month away from its release and has not started large-scale publicity.
In the current movie market, the most popular movie is "Love Is Not Blind". Li Qian doesn't have to worry about the promotion, it's no problem at all, and he can beat every opponent.
In addition to "The Truman Show", Li Qian is also preparing for another movie "Jaws 3".
The director's selection went through layers of screening and finally a suitable candidate was found.
In Li Qian's office, Han Yan, a young director who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, sat nervously in front of Li Qian and talked about his thoughts on "Jaws 3".
"Director Li, in your "Jaws" series, from the male protagonist killing the shark's father, killing the shark's mother, to the shark's son killing the male protagonist, I think this is a natural process of revenge between humans and animals.
The protagonist of the third part should be the son of the male protagonist.
In the movie, the male protagonist's son is only seven or eight years old, and it will be ten years later when he becomes an adult. In my imagination, ten years later, the resort has been closed down due to multiple incidents of shark attacks on humans. This can be regarded as giving
The first two parts are explained in one sentence.
Ten years later, the hero's son invited his classmates to play on his hometown island during the summer vacation from college. As a result, he met his shark son in the sea one day. Since the resort closed down, there were no onlookers on the shore and there were few people going into the sea. I felt
You can keep them in the sea, or when they are chased by sharks, they can temporarily hide on a larger reef, and the sharks will keep swimming around the reef..."
Perhaps because he was talking about something professional, Han Yan's inner nervousness gradually faded away, and he became more and more confident in explaining his conception of the plot of the third film.
The protagonist of the third part is the son of the male protagonist, which Li Qian had decided before, otherwise it would have to be his wife.
The resort closed down and was abandoned, which would make the audience breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the first two movies happened because of the resort owner.
As for the hero's son bringing his classmates to play, there is no problem, because without the resort, the fishermen who originally relied on the resort to survive have to find another way to make a living.
And precisely because they have made money from resorts, they are no longer willing to be fishermen. They are more likely to leave their hometowns to make a living.
Without the tourists, there is a lack of melon-eating crowds, so there is nothing wrong with arranging for my son’s classmates to come together.
However, Li Qian asked, "In this case, the most core thing of this series will be lost. The shark will no longer appear and disappear. Without the foreshadowing of various coincidences and misunderstandings, the sense of horror will be greatly reduced."
"Director Li, I have thought about this." Han Yan said quickly, "We can use this routine in the first half. For example, when a group of students went into the water, a classmate in the water talked about what he heard from the villagers.
The story of the past here.
In the sea, people are naturally afraid of sharks. After the story was told, there was still a shark that had not been found. They looked around nervously, and with music, the atmosphere of fear came out. Then they arranged several shark appearances similar to those in the first two movies.
The atmosphere is further fueled by false appearances, such as the sudden appearance of a dolphin appearing out of nowhere, thinking it is a shark."
Li Qian nodded, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously, "You mean, using the legend of sharks ten years ago to trigger fear, and then discussing various illusions about the appearance of sharks to promote the atmosphere. After the atmosphere was in place, the sharks appeared, and there was a chase.
After fighting and killing one or two people, they took refuge on a large reef, while the shark hid under the water and did not show its face, just wandering around. Once someone collapsed and wanted to escape, they became its prey.
prey."
"That's right, Director Li, that's what I thought." Han Yan responded.
"That is, the first half is thriller, and the second half is thriller and fear."
Li Qian thought about it and initially agreed with the idea, but it reminded her of another horror movie about sharks, and one of the scenes could be used.
His eyes lit up and he said, "Well, according to this idea, you prepare the script first, but you can add some things. For example, some of the students who survived and hid on the rocks were injured, but they could not be bandaged at sea. One of the girls' wounds was too long.
If you don’t bandage it, you will bleed to death. After trying many methods, I had no choice but to use earrings and necklaces to sew myself.”
"Director Li, you are talking about... using earrings and necklaces to sew the wounds?" Han Yan said with some uncertainty and made some gestures with his hands.
Li Qian nodded, "Yes, just assume that she is studying medicine."
"hiss!"
Han Yan took a breath. A little girl was using a necklace to sew stitches. He shuddered just thinking about it.
There is no anesthesia at sea. It would be extremely painful for ordinary people to get stitches without anesthesia, let alone stitches with something like a necklace. Let alone a little girl, not even a strong man could bear it...
In fact, Li Qian had a bit of a toothache when he thought about it. How could a girl with thin skin and human flesh stand having something as thick as a necklace inserted into her leg without anesthesia to sew up the wound?
Han Yan wanted to say that this was too permeable, but when he thought about it, compared to the first two, this third part had fewer melon-eating people on the shore, and there were fewer ways to exaggerate fear. This would also increase the impact on the audience.
The excitement just makes up for that shortcoming.
"Then Director Li, I will prepare the script according to your instructions?" Han Yan agreed. In fact, it was not up to him. He was just a small director. He didn't even have a serious movie in theaters. He was the one who begged.
He wanted this opportunity, not Li Qian who insisted on him filming.
Regarding the opportunity of "Jaws 3", young directors in the industry are going crazy. Everyone wants to get the opportunity that can make them rise to the top. No matter what, Han Yan has to agree.
But this time when he met his idol, Li Qian, the idol of all young directors, Han Yan admired him more and more, and he thought of such a terrifying scene in a short time.
Even the word horror is not enough to describe it, and the word pervert is not an exaggeration.
However, the more perverted the scene, the more exciting it is for the audience. Thinking of the audience's reaction in front of the big screen, Han Yan couldn't help but get excited.
Exciting!
"That's it. You can think of other things by yourself and show me the plot outline."
Li Qian has tentatively hired Han Yan, but we have to wait and see for details. Young people tend to come up with some unrealistic ideas. Just like what Han Yan said at the beginning, the shark family of three and the protagonist's family can make people laugh.
The fight with nature and animals?
However, if he knew that Han Yan thought he was a pervert, Li Qian would probably have just asked the security guard to chase him away.
