Chapter 58: Golden Horse Awards
"A new idea for domestic science fiction movies!
It's not that there are no science fiction movies in China, although there are few but always there, but the emergence of Hollywood's "Star Wars" and "Jurassic Park" makes domestic science fiction movies seem too insignificant.
Affected by factors such as imagination, investment, and a narrow film market, it is unrealistic for domestic films to be like Hollywood, so many pseudo-science fiction or children's films dressed in science fiction will be born.
This has also led to the continuous decline of science fiction films in China, and gradually everyone is less and less optimistic about domestic science fiction films.
In the context of the poor general environment and the small size of the film market, it is indeed even more difficult to shoot a real domestic science fiction movie!
But last night, a sci-fi mystery film called "Comet" gave me a glimmer of light!
I won't introduce much about this movie, there have been a lot of reports in the media recently, and it is indeed a wonderful sci-fi sketch!
What I want to say is that this movie has taken a different path, and some inspiration it has brought to domestic science fiction.
As far as I know, the director of this movie, Chen Hao, is currently a senior student in the Department of Imperial Film's directing department, and the investment in this movie is only 50,000 yuan!
The most brilliant thing about this movie is undoubtedly its sci-fi setting, and the root of its success lies in its ingenious script!
Since we don't have a huge investment to shoot special effects sci-fi blockbusters like Hollywood, let's turn to small, creative sci-fi sketches.
Such a film does not have a lot of investment, it is not too difficult to shoot, it is completely won by plot creativity, and it is indeed a science fiction work.
Personally, I think this is a new idea for science fiction movies in the cold winter of the mainland film market!
As for the difficulty of finding creativity, I think big companies and big directors should abandon their inherent ideas and get in touch with young people like Chen Hao, whose thinking is closer to Hollywood, and there must be creativity and ideas in their minds.
The difference is just the different eyes of major companies or major directors.
Think about it, if Chen Hao writes a hardcore sci-fi script, and then cooperates with a national teacher who can attract investment, what will be the effect?"
--- "Movie"
......
The media's review of "Comet" has attracted a lot of attention recently due to the effect of Dong's ability to make money.
A domestic science fiction movie with an investment of only 50,000 yuan, but it can be praised by many media and film critics, which has to be eye-catching.
Many people are interested in this movie, some people want to see if there is such a good thing as the media says, and of course, some people are ready to be a fighter against counterfeiting!
At the same time, on the BBS of major universities, the promotion of "Comet" also began to exert force.
There are always some students who strongly recommend "Comet", thinking that this is the best domestic science fiction movie at present, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives if they don't watch it!
The college students who have been screened are also quite high in the evaluation of this movie, and the college students with active thinking like this kind of brain-burning and suspenseful movie, and they feel that they are very high and can't stop.
I haven't screened the university, and some people will pour water on the forum, telling everyone Amway, a science fiction masterpiece that has recently become famous, has been blowing up the sky, and the popularity has been very high anyway.
However, while "Comet" expanded the scale of screenings and gained a good reputation, Chen Hao was a little worried about piracy.
Now the Chinese people have not yet developed the habit of going into the cinema to watch movies, watching pirated versions, 5 yuan is over, who wants to go to the cinema to spend that unjust money.
"Don't worry, brother, we have made a request every time it is screened, there will be no piracy, at least there will be no piracy before the movie is officially released!" Yu Dong assured.
Chen Hao could only nod when he heard this, he couldn't control this kind of thing now, he just hoped that everything would go as smoothly as Yu Dong said.
Soon the time entered the last month of 2001, and the whole country became a little restless, because on December 11, China will officially join the WTO.
This is a major event with far-reaching impact on the whole of China, and the same is true for the film industry and related industries.
In the face of the pressure of joining the WTO, Huaxia finally launched a plan to build its own entertainment aircraft carrier, and in the future, the optoelectronic company that is often talked about by everyone will be established.
At the same time, the mainland began to relax restrictions on private capital entering the film production industry, and many company CEOs instantly entered the field of film producers.
In the middle of the year, Colombia set up an Asian film company and invited Li Zhao as a consultant, and decided to show its strength.
At the same time, he invested in "Double Pupils" by Chen Guovice of Baodao, "Big Shot" by Feng Dacang in the mainland, "Sunset Angel" by Xiangjiang Yuankui and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" by He Ping in the mainland.
Speaking of which, Chen Hao was able to sell "Comet" to Colombia for $500,000, which was also a ride.
Colombia wants to use local talents and theme resources to produce in large quantities, so as to avoid the restrictions on the number of imported films, and at the same time use the authority to build theaters in joint ventures to establish a complete cinema system.
In addition to Colombia, other Hollywood companies are also eyeing the mainland market, and the pressure on domestic film companies is still considerable.
However, these have nothing to do with Chen Hao for the time being, and he is now more concerned about the 38th Treasure Island Golden Horse Awards held on the 8th.
"Comet" has two nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing this time, and at the same time, the Golden Horse Award is also a very important part of the publicity plan of "Comet", so Chen Hao naturally has to come and go.
However, because of filming and classes, only Chen Hao and Yan Danchen came to the treasure island this time.
At this time, Chen Hao was waiting, because after Yan Danchen finished styling, he was changing his dress.
As one of the three gold medals in China, the Golden Horse Awards still has a very wide influence in the mainland, and being able to walk the red carpet at the Golden Horse Awards is undoubtedly a dream for actresses.
Yan Danchen didn't expect that he just promised to do a favor at the beginning, and he actually had the opportunity to appear at the Golden Horse Awards.
This opportunity will undoubtedly increase her exposure, and she may also be able to gain the favor of some directors or scripts, so she worked hard to make a stunning appearance on the red carpet this time.
"Director Chen, what do you think of me?"
Chen Hao, who was texting with Da Meitang, raised his head when he heard this, and couldn't help but have his eyes shining.
Although Yan Danchen at this time does not have the charm of later generations, his beautiful facial features are even more exquisite after makeup, especially the delicate red lips, which makes people can't help but reverie.
She wore an off-the-shoulder evening dress with a high skirt, revealing a pair of straight and slender long legs, which made Chen Hao can't help but step forward.
Yan Danchen felt Chen Hao's eyes, and was a little shy and embarrassed while being proud, and turned around slightly, wanting to cover it up.
Just waiting for her to turn around, "Ah......hhhhh
