Chapter 502: If He Wins the Prize

Whether it is the Golden Dragon Award or the Oscars, today's Mu Chen does not need these awards to prove his talent, nor does he need these awards to promote his film and television career.

No one would despise him because he didn't have an award.

His talent in film has been recognized worldwide.

Even if Scorsese and others criticize those superhero movies, Mu Chen will deny his talent when it comes to mention, at most he will say that his current path is getting more and more deviated and wasting his talent.

"You're the guest of honor for Best Director?"

Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen and asked with a smile.

"Yes, didn't you already know?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment and said.

"It's interesting that there is one person who has been shortlisted for Best Director this year!" Li Ruoxi said.

Mu Chen was so smart that he instantly guessed who the person in Li Ruoxi's mouth was.

"You won't say it's Scorsese, a great Hollywood director, right?" Mu Chen shook his head and said.

Scorsese is one of Hollywood's top directors, and this year he took his work to the Golden Dragon Awards, and was shortlisted for many awards, including Best Director.

Mu Chen has not seen his works, but feels that Scorsese has a great chance of winning the award.

If he wins the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, but Mu Chen awards him the award, it will be very interesting.

Scorsese's original criticism of Mu Chen's superhero movie caused a global uproar.

"You said that Director Zhang invited you to be the guest of honor for Best Director, would you be interested in letting you present the award to Scorsese?" Li Ruoxi continued.

"Probably not!" Mu Chen said, but his confidence was obviously insufficient.

Scorsese criticized Mu Chen's superhero movies, but Mu Chen had no resentment against him.

It's not a personal vendetta, it's just a different concept of the movie.

At least, that's what Scorsese is showing now.

When he criticizes superhero movies, there is no conflict of interest between them.

"If he really wins the award, do you think he will criticize your superhero movies in front of you?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

"Probably not. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Isn't it just for the Chinese Film Market that he took his work to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards?

Mu Chen's influence in the Chinese market is very amazing.

Who doesn't know this.

Scorsese's directing level is beyond doubt.

He has every strength to win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director.

As the first top director to participate in the Golden Dragon Award, the Golden Dragon Award jury will definitely consider something, such as throwing bricks and attracting thousands of dollars to buy horse bones or something.

"Not necessarily. Li Ruoxi said, "If he really cared about your fans, he wouldn't have criticized those superhero movies in front of so many media." There are no fewer fans of those superhero movies than yours. ”

"What would you do if he really criticized those superhero movies in front of you?" Li Ruoxi then asked.

"We'll talk about that then. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "He may not be able to win the award." ”

There is still some time before the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, and the film "Fuxi", which has been nominated for the award, has landed in North America and other regions.

The box office performance was not very good, but it was not bad.

The box office in North America on the first day was more than 20 million US dollars, although it is not as good as Mu Chen's movies and those superhero movies, but it is also extremely good among many Chinese movies.

And the reputation of this film abroad is also extremely good.

Perhaps, the single-day box office can rise a little with the fermentation of word-of-mouth.

As for whether it can reach the foreign box office of "Zhuolu", it is a little difficult to say.

""Transformers 2" and "The Incredible Hulk 2" are both scheduled to be released in the summer?" Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen and said.

"You can do it!" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Chen Fuhai's grasp of the film market is undoubtedly extremely in place. The film schedule, when is the most appropriate, and there are few times when you miss it.

Whether it is "Transformers 2" or "The Incredible Hulk 2", it is very suitable for the summer file.

After all, the main fan base of these two films is young people.

Young people are naturally students.

"What about Lao Yu's film?" Chen Fuhai said, "If your film can't catch up with the Spring Festival, then arrange his film." ”

The second part of Yu Yun's "Journey to the West" has already been partially done in the later stage.

The audience of this film in China is very large, and it is also suitable for the Spring Festival to be released.

"My film is not suitable for the Spring Festival. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "There are some unspoken rules, let's not break them." ”

What are the unspoken rules?

The National Day and Spring Festival files do not release foreign blockbusters.

Although there is no explicit provision, it is tacitly accepted by major film and television companies.

Mu Chen's film is a pure Hollywood film, although it is out of his hands, it is not a Chinese film, and it is indeed not suitable for the Spring Festival.

"What about Marin's film?" Chen Fuhai then asked.

"The film hasn't started filming yet, it's hard to say how it is, and whether it is suitable for the Spring Festival release, no one can say. Mu Chen thought about it and said.

Chen Fuhai asked, and it is not difficult to guess what he meant.

If Marin's movie is in time for the Spring Festival, then Yu Yun's movie can be released in advance, such as on the National Day Mid-Autumn Festival, or Christmas and New Year's Day.

A film, if it is pressed for too long, is not a good thing.

Of course, Dawn Film and Television has a lot of money, not for any money return.

Subsequently, Chen Fuhai and Mu Chen discussed some of the company's plans this year.

Mu Chen is about to go to Hollywood, and he will stay for a long time, and some things will naturally be discussed in advance.

In fact, it is not so much a discussion, but rather that Chen Fuhai is talking and Mu Chen is listening.

This has been the case all these years.

It's just that it's been divided into a few times before, and this time it's just a matter of saying it all.

Soon, the Golden Dragon Award ceremony arrived.

And "Fuxi", which has been released in China for more than a month, has gradually been drawn, and the domestic box office has exceeded 3 billion, meeting expectations.

With such a box office, it has naturally become the biggest winner of the Spring Festival stalls.

And some foreign countries and regions have also begun to paint.

The North American box office has reached nearly 200 million US dollars, and it is estimated that it will break the 200 million mark when the painting is completed, while the cumulative total box office in Europe and Southeast Asia has also exceeded 200 million US dollars.

The global box office is estimated to break $800 million, which is extremely good.

Dawn Film and Television naturally made a lot of profits with this film.

Of course, compared to those superhero movies, it is much worse.

On the red carpet of the Golden Dragon Awards, it can be described as a group of stars.

There are also a lot more foreign stars.

I have to admit that since Zhang Gang dominated the Golden Dragon Award, his international influence has become more and more great.

This can be seen from the fact that top Hollywood directors like Scorsese bring their works to participate.

Of course, one of the biggest reasons is that the potential of the Chinese film market is gradually exploding.

It's the same reason why many domestic artworks like to go to Cannes and Willis Film Festivals.

Awards, perhaps for this reason.

But in Mu Chen's view, he is more interested in foreign markets.

Participating in those film festivals is not to sell the film rights.

Mu Chen did not walk the red carpet with the crew of "Guardians of the Galaxy", but with Li Ruoxi.

Li Ruoxi was not shortlisted for any awards, but was also invited to be the guest of honor.

What's more, no works were shortlisted, no invitations were invited as award guests, and there were many star artists who came to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards?

It's not a red carpet, and Li Ruoxi doesn't need to rub the red carpet.

After all, the Golden Dragon Award is a grand event for Chinese films, and as a Chinese filmmaker, it is naturally not to be missed.

As always, the awards are presented from the ones that are not heavy, or have little attention.

Of course, there are some changes in the order.

Guardians of the Galaxy was shortlisted for Best Costume Design, as well as Best Visual Effects.

Unfortunately, the grains were not harvested.

In this regard, Mu Chen was not surprised.

The best costume design was won by "Fu Xi", and the best visual effect was also the same.

I have to say that "Fuxi" has made a good start, and the same is true of Dawn Film and Television.

Best action design was won by "Terracotta Warriors".

Over the years, the best action and the best visual effects have almost been covered by the movies produced by Dawn Film and Television.

Subsequently, "Fuxi" won the best cinematography, and "Terracotta Warriors" won the best screenplay.

Yu Yun's "Mage" is also unsuccessful.

After that, the films produced by Dawn Film and Television were not shortlisted for awards.

The further you go, the heavier the weight of the award.

Best Actress, Li Ruoxi served as the guest of honor, but Dawn Film and Television did not have any works shortlisted.

And then Best Actor, Huang Yao was shortlisted, but he failed to win the award.

After the best foreign language film, Mu Chen took the stage.

The award presenter who partnered with him is an old actress, who is now 70 years old, but she is still active on the screen.

The two award presenters chatted briefly, and then the best director finalist appeared on the big screen.

In addition to Marin, Feng Yi, as well as Scorsese and another Chinese director.

The director is not famous, but he is not a newcomer, but most of the art films are made, and the film is not well-known. Naturally, his popularity is not high.

"International practice, ask the partner first. Mu Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Xue, who do you think will win the best director this year?"

"I don't think it's useful!" the old actress laughed.

When Mu Chen heard this, he was stunned.

But many people in the audience couldn't help laughing.

"How do I feel that this is very familiar!" Mu Chen then smiled and said.

Isn't that what he often says to reporters and field hosts?

"It's really useless!" Mu Chen continued, "because we all already know the result. ”

"Then we will announce it directly?" the old actress smiled and said, "You are one of the best directors in the world, it is only fitting for you to announce it!"

"You're an old-timer, or you come!" Mu Chen smiled and said.

"Then I'll come!" The old actress was not so polite, and then said, "There are many foreign friends here today, so I'll tell you, you will translate." I don't know a foreign language. ”

As soon as the old actress said this, the faces of Ma Lin, Feng Yi and others instantly flashed with loss.

They guessed a few points.

Sure enough, as they had guessed.

"The winner of Best Director was: "Dawn" Scorsese ......"
