The actor turned to become a director, and the first play will make use of his connections as much as possible to attract fans to the theater as much as possible.

This may be due to their lack of confidence.

They are hungry for success.

Eager for his first work to be an instant hit.

Failure means that the road to directing will be even more difficult.

It is not uncommon for actors to be turned directors, and there are many directors with strong box office appeal.

Even, there are those who won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director.

However, those are obviously a minority, and more actors who changed careers to become directors mostly ended in failure.

Whether Li Chao can succeed or not, Mu Chen is not clear, but Mu Chen has to admit that he is an excellent actor.

A good actor is not necessarily a good director.

What's more, the success of a movie is the success of the crew, not the success of a certain director.

Li Chao didn't talk much with Mu Chen, probably went to invite other friends.

"Mu Dao. ”

"Director Zhang. Mu Chen turned his head, but saw Zhang Gang walking over with a smile.

"Director Mu is not going to give us old guys a way to live this year!" Zhang Gang said with a smile.

He was also nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for last year's "Monster Hunter", but there are not many awards, and they are all fringe awards, and the most popular is nothing more than the Best Visual Effects Award.

Director Zhang joked. Mu Chen smiled, "It doesn't have to be the same as last year." ”

"You!" Zhang Gang smiled and said.

Will "Infernal Affairs" go home empty-handed?

I don't think anyone thinks so. This film is the favorite of this year's Golden Dragon Awards, how can it be as empty-handed as last year's "Wolf Warrior"?

"Wolf Warrior" won the award, which was an upset. But "Infernal Affairs" didn't win the award, that was an upset.

It's not that the Golden Dragon Award hasn't been upset, but it's definitely rare. What's more, "Infernal Affairs" was nominated for eleven awards, is it still all an upset.

Mu Chen said that, Zhang Gang naturally thought that he was complaining about last year's "Wolf Warrior" empty-handed.

"Did Li Chao make a cameo appearance for you?" Zhang Gang suddenly asked.

"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded and looked at Zhang Gang.

"Hey, now the threshold for directors is getting lower and lower. Zhang Gang sighed and said, "Another good actor......"

Zhang Gang shook his head as he spoke, and did not say any more.

Mu Chen smiled, but did not answer.

The threshold for a director is indeed very low, and it is reasonable for an actor to change his career as a director, but it is a little difficult to say that a singer directly changes his career to become a director.

Mu Chen has a wait-and-see attitude towards this.

To do it or not, the market will give the answer.

Mu Chen can also hear that Zhang Gang's appreciation of Li Chao is not many actors who can afford his evaluation of "good actors".

Zhang Gang obviously felt that Li Chao's change of career to become a director was not a wise choice.

"When is Director Zhang free, make an appointment to talk?" Mu Chen suddenly thought of something, and then said.

Zhang Gang once invited him for a script, but Mu Chen turned around and forgot about it, but now that he remembered it, he hurriedly took the initiative to speak.

If Zhang Gang is asked to talk about that matter again, it will inevitably be a little embarrassing.

"I'm going to Huhai tomorrow for a symposium. When Zhang Gang heard this, he said with a smile, "When I come back from Huhai, I will go to Dawn Film and Television to find you." Well, it's only a matter of two or three days. ”

"Okay!" Mu Chen nodded.

With the success of movies and television such as "Ip Man", Mu Chen has to admit that the filmmakers in this world are still extremely good.

For many movies and television that he doesn't make, or doesn't have time to make, he can write out the script, or even come up with an outline by himself, so that the screenwriting team can improve it.

Let the classics of that world bloom in this world, and that also has a sense of accomplishment.

Well, more reason is resource utilization, earning more... Money.

It's a waste to put it in your head.

Mu Chen is not obsessed with making money, but he will never be disgusted with money.

The award ceremony began soon and everyone was seated.

"How is it?" Chen Fuhai asked Mu Chen in a low voice.

"Tomorrow I'll talk about Dawn Film and Television. However, he did not have a schedule in the first half of the year. Mu Chen said.

"Oh. Chen Fuhai nodded.

For Mu Chen's international film, it is also good to have more time to prepare.

It's good to start filming in the second half of the year.

"Every few days, Director Zhang will come to Dawn Film and Television. Mu Chen continued.

"Zhang Gang?" asked Chen Fuhai.

"Hmm!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "I'm going to cooperate with him and make a blockbuster." We'll talk about this when I get the script right. ”

Chen Fuhai nodded and stopped chatting.

It is estimated that it is impossible to dig Zhang Gang to Dawn Film and Television, he has a large stake in his film and television company, but there is nothing wrong with cooperation.

In terms of directors, Dawn Film and Television is a little worse than those first-line film and television companies, and cooperating with those big directors is undoubtedly an excellent way.

However, the specific cooperation needs to be discussed.

"Mu Dao. Gu Wei on the other side of Mu Chen greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Gu. Mu Chen turned his head to look over.

"Infernal Affairs 3 should be there, right?" asked Gu Wei.

He obviously tasted the sweetness of cooperating with Mu Chen.

Being nominated for Best Supporting Actor can only be regarded as an addition to him. He's an actor with excellent acting skills, but he's also a businessman.

"Infernal Affairs" series, he accounts for a small proportion, but the profit is higher than any previous movie.

And that's just box office gains.

When a movie becomes popular, the revenue is obviously not only at the box office, and the influence involves many aspects.

Not to mention anything else, Yu Ting, who replaced Xie Zhen, is his company's signed artist.

When the artist is popular, the company will naturally benefit.

"The script is still being created, and when the script comes out, how about we talk about it specifically?" Mu Chen said.

"Infernal Affairs 3" naturally has. However, Mu Chen did not create it himself, but after giving the outline, he lost it to the script team of Dawn Film and Television.

Perhaps different from the original.

However, based on the original version, there should be a breakthrough!

The first award was for Best Costume Design.

This "Infernal Affairs" has a nomination.

However, it is unlikely that a modern drama will win this award.

In the end, he was given by Zhang Gang's "Demon Hunter".

Next the best cut, "Infernal Affairs" won.

Subsequently, the best soundtrack was won by "Anti-Narcotics", and "Infernal Affairs" lost another award.

Immediately after that, the best cinematography was once again won by "Monster Hunter".

Of the four awards, "Infernal Affairs" won one and three awards, but these awards "Infernal Affairs" are not very popular, and they are not an upset.

"Monster Hunter" may not have a good reputation, but it is purely influenced by the story, and the film technology is still extremely good.

"The winner of the Best Film Song Award is: "Infernal Affairs" Mu Chen! Congratulations to Director Mu, who won the Best Film Song Award again. ”

Again, how many times?

I don't know why, many people feel that this award has been rounded by Mu Chen.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, my fans. As a director, once again winning the Best Film Song Award, I... It's a pleasure. Mu Chen said with a smile, "No one will be afraid of many awards." Well, this also shows the benefits of not pressing. One day I won't be able to make a good movie, so I will write songs for the movie, and I want to have food to eat. ”

As soon as Mu Chen's words came out, there was some laughter and applause from the audience.

The awards continued, and the main event was yet to come.

"The winner of the Best Action Design Award is: Yuan Hong of "Ip Man"!

"Infernal Affairs" once again missed this award.

In this regard, Mu Chen was not surprised.

Best Action Design Award, kung fu films, martial arts films and action movies have an absolute advantage. Even, this award itself is an award for this kind of film.

It's good that a plot-oriented film like "Infernal Affairs" can get a nomination.

It was not the first time that Yuan Hong had won the best action design, so he was not excited, except for a faint smile on his face, but a look of indifference.

"Thank you! Thank you for the jury's affirmation of Ip Man. Yuan Hong said, "This is not the first time I have won this award, but it is the least fulfilling one." Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the competitors are not strong, but the action design of "Ip Man", many of which are from Mu Chen. I and my team are more about realizing Director Mu's ideas. This award should be received by Director Mu. I guess he didn't lack the opportunity to come on stage, so I came. ”

The camera focused on Mu Chen, who smiled and waved his hand.

He did give Yuan Hong a lot of advice, but if this award belonged to him, Mu Chen did not agree.

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is: "Infernal Affairs" Mu Chen!"

Mu Chen took the stage again.

Best Screenplay, he alone occupies two places, and it doesn't seem like much of a surprise to win the award.

With some thanks, the award continues.

The awards went to the end, and when the Best Supporting Actor was awarded, the scene instantly seemed a little noisy.

"The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are: "Infernal Affairs" Zhang Jiale, "Infernal Affairs" Gu Wei, "Infernal Affairs 2" Liao Chengzhi, "Infernal Affairs 2" Du Ze, "Mountains and Rivers" Chen Gu!"

Of the five nominations, the "Infernal Affairs" series directly won four, which is too amazing.

Receiving such a nomination is not only about the actor's acting skills, but also about the screenwriter's strength in shaping the role.

The camera focused on the five nominated actors, and their expressions were a little nervous, especially Na Chen Gu, who had a wry smile in his nervous expression.

Among the five people, the most indifferent estimates are Gu Wei and Zhang Jiale.

Maybe they have already won it, or maybe the Golden Dragon Award has limited promotion for them now.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor award is: "Infernal Affairs" Zhang Jiale!"

After the Best Supporting Actor Award, the Best Actress Award "Infernal Affairs 2" was never won.

And the Best Actor Award, like the Best Supporting Actor Award, is extremely eye-catching.

"Infernal Affairs" has two nominations, "Infernal Affairs 2" has one nomination, and five nominated actors, and the "Infernal Affairs" series accounts for three, which is probably something that has never happened in the history of the Golden Dragon Awards.

The nominations were announced, and the scenes of the five actors appeared on the big screen.

Although Liu Guohua and Gu Jiahui kept smiling, they were also a little nervous in their smiles.

"The winner of the Best Actor award was...... Who do you think it will be?"

"Anyone can do it. ”

"Forget it, let's announce it. Well, here you go. ”

The Best Actor award was won for "Infernal Affairs"... Congratulations to Liu Guohua, congratulations!

"Bang Bang!"

"Congratulations!"

Liu Guohua passed by Mu Chen's place, and Mu Chen got up and gave him a hug.

In fact, whether it is Liu Guohua or Gu Jiahui, they actually have the strength to compete for this year's actor.

Whoever wins the award is well deserved.

However, now it seems that the people on the jury are more inclined to Liu Guohua.

"Thank you, thank you for the jury's affirmation, thank you director Mu Chen......"

Liu Guohua's acceptance speech is nothing new, except for gratitude, it is emotional.

After the Best Actor Award, there are only two extremely heavy Best Director and Best Picture left.

And these two awards, "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs 2" are both nominated.

Mu Chen's face was indifferent, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

If Mu Chen has no expectations for the best director, it is completely impossible.

Even if the film is not his original.

Movies and television are not as good as songs, even if they are completely copied, the difficulty is not small, not to mention that Mu Chen has also made a breakthrough.

Mu Chen has been nominated for Best Director several times, and he has played soy sauce before, if he doesn't want to win Best Director with this, it is absolutely hypocritical.

"The best director is: "Mountains and Rivers" Wang Ke! Congratulations to director Wang Ke!"

"Bang Bang!"

The applause rang out, and Mu Chen was also applauding, with a smile on his face. However, the smile was very far-fetched.

Wang Ke was a little stunned and a little surprised.

He didn't seem to expect that he would win the best director.

The call for "Infernal Affairs" is so high, he knows it well.

Mu Chen won the best director, which is well deserved.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he Wang Ke is not qualified to win the best director, but "Mountains and Rivers" is too much worse than "Infernal Affairs" in terms of fame, and few people have even heard of it.

In the eyes of many people, Wang Ke won the best director, which was a bit of an upset.

Lost?

It's a bit of a loss.

Mu Chen even had a kind of self-doubt at that moment.

He doubted his directing abilities.

has the original version as a reference, standing on the shoulders of giants, but did not win the best director.

How many times has this been?

If there is no reference to the original version, if he does not stand on the shoulders of giants, will the movie he made not even have a nomination?

Mu Chen could feel that many cameras were aimed at him, and many people present also looked at him.

He wanted to make his smile less far-fetched, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"The nominees for Best Picture are: "Infernal Affairs", "Infernal Affairs 2", "Ip Man" ......"

"The winner of Best Picture is: Infernal Affairs!"

"Infernal Affairs" won the best picture, and Chen Fuhai looked at Mu Chen.

"You go up!" Mu Chen said.

He really didn't mean to go up and accept the award.

"Infernal Affairs" won six awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Film Song, and Best Cut, but Mu Chen did not win Best Director.

In Mu Chen's view, this is undoubtedly extremely ironic.

Those awards made him even worse as a director.

"Infernal Affairs" won the best picture, but Mu Chen did not come to the stage to accept the award.

This award is usually accepted by the producer on stage, but Mu Chen is also the producer of "Infernal Affairs".

He is also perfectly capable of coming to power.

Many people think that Mu Chen came to power, but he didn't.

Is he dissatisfied that he didn't win the best director?

Mu Chen didn't win the Best Director, but he is definitely the most concerned star of this Golden Dragon Awards.

Even Liu Guohua, the person who won the actor, may not be as good as Mu Chen.

Mu Chen missed the best director, and it has caused heated discussions and even debates on the Internet.

Mu Chen's fans even questioned the Golden Dragon Award.

At the end of the award ceremony, Mu Chen was stopped by many media reporters.

"Director Mu, what do you think about not winning the best director?"

A reporter asked.

"Keep working hard!" Mu Chen said with a smile, "Keep improving, strive to do better, I think I will become the best director one day." After all, I'm still young!"

Mu Chen's smile at this time was no longer far-fetched.

"Does Director Mu mean that you lost in age?"

"I'm not good enough. Mu Chen said, "Young, there is enough time to work hard and improve." Being young means that there are still many opportunities. ”

"Does winning Best Picture in "Infernal Affairs" have any impact on whether you win Best Director or not?"

The reporter then asked.

It is true that there are not many times when Best Director and Best Picture are won at the same time, which makes many people think that they can only win one of the two.

Share the cake!

"Infernal Affairs" won the best picture, so Mu Chen's chances of winning the best director with "Infernal Affairs" will become smaller.

Does it matter?

Perhaps. However, Mu Chen obviously wouldn't say that.

"What impact can it have? If you win the best film, you can't win the best director?" Mu Chen smiled and said, "One is a collective award, and the other is an individual award." ”

"If you had to choose between Best Director and Best Picture, which one would you choose?"

Best Director, perhaps!

"Choose both!" Mu Chen smiled.

Choosing one or the other?

How could Mu Chen really choose.

Those reporters just asked casually, and they didn't press Mu Chen to choose one.

"Is Director Mu in a lost mood?"

Lost?

It seems to be much better now.

However, Mu Chen is definitely not the most lost one. "Infernal Affairs 2" returned empty-handed.

"Why is it lost?" Mu Chen said, ""Infernal Affairs" won six awards, and I personally won two little golden figures, this year's Golden Dragon Award Dawn Film and Television can be said to be full of returns, what is there to lose?"

"But you, as a director, missed out on the best director!"

"It's not that I haven't missed it, where there are so many losses. Mu Chen said, "Although I didn't win the best director, no one should question my directing ability, right? ”

Does anyone question it?

Naturally, no one questioned it.

Which director is like Mu Chen, every film is nominated for Best Director, although they all ended up with soy sauce, but Mu Chen's directing ability is beyond doubt.

"Are you alright?"

On the way back, Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen, her eyes showing concern.

She saw Mu Chen's loss.

"It's okay, it's just a little lost. Mu Chen said, "I have been nominated for Best Director in a row, but I have soy sauce every time, and I guess there will be a sense of loss on anyone." ”

"I believe that the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director will be in your pocket sooner or later. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

Mu Chen heard this, but he smiled.

He didn't believe that standing on the shoulders of giants, he really couldn't win the best director!

Mu Chen's self-confidence was restored in Li Ruoxi's smile.
