Chapter 417: Lack of Strength, Bad Luck?

Mu Chen has already become a general trend, and he is the director with the most box office appeal in the world.

And Mu Ze, the star of "Martial God" directed by him, is still one of the most box office appealing superstars in the world today.

If it is put in China, I am afraid that "one" can be removed.

What's more, "Valkyrie" is also the first solo movie of the popular superhero "Valkyrie".

It is not an exaggeration to say that this film is the most anticipated film of the year.

Who wants to fight with such a film?

Not to mention domestic films, even Hollywood blockbusters have no confidence in the face of this film.

People in the circle inquire about the schedule of this film, and it is naturally not surprising.

The award ceremony began shortly.

Mu Chen didn't expect that "Fairy Sword" would get off to a good start directly.

And Mu Chen also became the first filmmaker to accept the award on stage.

The first award turned out to be Best Soundtrack.

Mu Chen has won many best soundtracks, not to mention the Golden Dragon Award, and more than one Oscar.

However, this time was the most rewarding for him.

The soundtrack of "Sword Fairy" is Mu Chen's original.

In the past, the soundtrack of the film was either the original version, or some changes were made according to the original version.

Those soundtracks don't really belong to Mu Chen.

"I should be the director who won the most best soundtracks. However, no one is afraid of more than one prize. Mu Chen said with a smile, "Thank you to the jury for giving this award again, and thank you to all the crew members of "Sword Fairy" for ......."

Mu Chen's speech was very simple, but it also aroused warm applause.

I'm afraid there are really few directors who have won the best soundtrack except Mu Chen.

One of them turned from a musician to a director, and two of them won the best soundtrack.

And the director who has won many of the best soundtracks is probably Mu Chen.

Mu Chen was the first to be on the podium of this year's Golden Dragon Awards, I don't know if it was an intentional arrangement or a coincidence.

Not long ago, some foreign media rated Mu Chen as the first person in Chinese films.

In the report, the films since Mu Chen's debut are listed, how much box office those films have, how many awards they have been shortlisted for, and how many awards they have won are all listed.

And with the data in front of you, the sensation is naturally amazing enough.

This incident has not only caused a great sensation in China, but also caused great heated discussions around the world.

It's not just the online discussion, it's the media that's getting involved.

Is Mu Chen the first person to be a Chinese filmmaker?

Some people support it, and naturally some people refute it.

Whether it is from the awards or from the box office of the movie, Mu Chen is definitely well-deserved. Even, not to mention that Chinese movies are the first, I am afraid that the first person in movies is well-deserved.

However, just considering the number of awards and the box office, it is undoubtedly a bit narrow.

Films, obviously, cannot be measured only by awards and box office.

Mu Chen's achievements in movies are undoubted, and it can even be said that Chinese films have gone global, which he single-handedly promoted.

In terms of film technology, he also spent money to make Chinese film technology develop rapidly, and even catch up with Hollywood.

However, if he is the first person in Chinese-language films, it is difficult to be recognized.

This matter finally ended with Mu Chen posting on Weibo to express that he was ashamed.

"Sword Fairy" got off to a good start, and the Dawn film and television hit "Chasing the Deer" followed closely behind, winning the best costume design.

And that's just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, "Chasing the Deer" won the Best Cut, and beat other films, including "Sword Fairy", to win the Best Action Design, and Best Visual Effects awards.

"Sword Fairy" won the award for Best Cinematography and Best Sound Effects.

Best Original Song, Mu Chen failed to win.

However, winning three awards is also a surprise for Mu Chen.

The awards continued, interspersed with a number of performances.

"Sword Fairy" only has the best director left, and "Chasing the Deer" has three other awards that have not been awarded.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is: "Chasing the Deer", Zhao Jin!"

"Bang Bang!"

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and applauded.

Zhao Jin's acting skills are now recognized in the circle.

However, with the role of Chi You, winning this award is still beyond many people's expectations.

In the eyes of many people, Zhao Jin is a big name now, even if he wins the award, he should be the best actor.

Who would have thought that the movie he starred in failed to win the award, but the supporting actor did.

Of course, Chi You played by Zhao Jin, that kind of rebelliousness, that kind of domineering, and that kind of courage to resist the gods, did leave an extremely deep impression on people.

Zhao Jin's popularity as Chi You is close to that of Mu Ze as the male number one, and he is much more popular than the roles of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.

Even, the heroine played by Qin Yu is a little inferior in popularity.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for the jury's recognition. Thank you also to the director of "Chasing the Deer", Feng Yi Feng. Zhao Jin stood on the stage and said with a smile, "Of course, there is one more person I have to thank, and that is Mu Chen." ”

"That's what he meant when I played the role of Chiyou. Zhao Jin said, "After signing with Dawn Film and Television, I was basically the protagonist, but now I am so popular by him, but he asked me to play a supporting role." At that time, I still had some doubts. Thankfully, though, I didn't refuse. ”

"If he hadn't spoken, I don't know if I would have taken on the role. Now, with this role, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award, and naturally I can't help but thank him......"

Let a first-line star play a supporting role, and it is estimated that Mu Chen can do it.

Mu Chen didn't open his mouth, it was really hard to say whether Zhao Jin would play the role of Chi You.

The cast of "Chasing the Deer" is so strong, if it wasn't for Mu Chen's single-handedness, how could it be possible?

The director of this film is Feng Yi, but Mu Chen's credit may not be inferior to Feng Yi.

Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor and Actress, Dawn Film and Television has no films and actors shortlisted this year, so they can only act as spectators.

"You and Feng Yi, who has a better chance of winning the best director?" Li Ruoxi asked Mu Chen in a low voice.

"Naturally, it's him. Mu Chen did not hesitate, and immediately replied.

This has nothing to do with the director's ability, the most important thing is the film's decision.

"Chasing the Deer" is indeed easier to win awards than "Sword Fairy".

However, when Xu Wen read out the award-winning director, it surprised many people.

The biggest hits, Mu Chen and Feng Yi, both failed to win the award, but were taken by the director of an art film.

To be shortlisted, in fact, it is already worth being happy.

This is just the self-consolation of those who have not won the prize.

For this best director, Mu Chen still has some regrets.

Of course, he wasn't much disappointed.

Maybe he knew that the chances of winning the award were not very good, and he didn't have much expectations.

Maybe he doesn't need to prove it with this award.

Maybe it's because I've won too many awards, and I'm a little numb.

Although "Sword Fairy" is his first film without originality, he did not come to win awards at the beginning of filming.

Whether it is "Sword Fairy" or "Chasing the Deer", those are all films that had to be mentioned last year.

Among them, the international influence of "Chasing the Deer" may not be as good as "Sword Fairy", but in China, it is not bad at all.

This film opened the prelude to the Chinese mythological blockbuster.

“...... The winner of the best picture was: "Chasing the Deer"!

"Chasing the Deer" won the best picture, and Mu Chen was also a little surprised. When he saw Feng Yi looking at him, he immediately smiled and motioned for him to come to the stage to accept the award.

Best Picture is the award of the whole crew, and as for who goes up to receive the award, it is often the producer or producer.

Of course, it is okay for the director to come on stage.

If Feng Yi won the best director with this film, then coming to the stage at this time will undoubtedly be Mu Chen.

It's a pity that Feng Yi didn't win Best Director.

Then, as the screenwriter and director of this film, there is nothing wrong with accepting the award on stage on behalf of the entire crew.

Thank you, thank you to the jury for their affirmation of "Chasing the Deer", and thank you to the many fans who like this film. Feng Yi opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu Guohua, if he hadn't come to Director Mu with the script, there would be no current "Chasing Deer". Thank you Director Mu for your strong support for this film. Thank you Director Mu for your guidance to me and this film......"

Feng Yi thanked many people, but the ones who should be thanked the most were Liu Guohua and Mu Chen.

He was excavated by Liu Guohua, and his first film was also invested by Liu Guohua.

Later, if Liu Guohua hadn't come to Mu Chen with the script, I don't know when this film would have been filmed.

As for Mu Chen, that's naturally not to mention.

He asked Feng Yi to serve as the assistant director of "Transformers", which naturally taught him a lot of things, and when he was filming "Chasing Deer", he also gave Feng Yi a lot of advice.

Otherwise, with Feng Yi's directorial level at that time, he might not be able to control this film.

Of course, if it weren't for Mu Chen's money and the abundance of funds for "Chasing the Deer", I don't know what the filming would have been.

At the end of the awards ceremony, Dawn Film and Television is still the film and television company that has won the most, but it is not so dazzling.

Best foreign language film was won by a Frenchman.

Other awards have also been taken away by foreign filmmakers.

This year's actress was taken away by a French actress.

And that film is also about to be released in China, and Dawn Film and Television is one of the distributors.

The reason why so many foreign films came to the Golden Dragon Awards this year is that the films that showed their faces at the Golden Dragon Awards last year achieved extremely amazing box office results in China.

Of course, the amazing is relative to their home country box office.

The box office of some films in their home countries is only a fraction of that compared with the box office in China.

Participating in the Golden Dragon Award is a matter of fame and fortune, which naturally makes many people rush to it.

"Director Mu, do you have anything to say about this year's Golden Dragon Award?"

At the end of the award ceremony, Mu Chen was naturally interviewed by reporters.

"There's not much to say. Mu Chen smiled and said, "I hope to see more foreign filmmakers at the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony next year!"

"And how do you feel about not winning Best Director this year?"

"What do you think? Maybe it's a little regretful! Since you are shortlisted, you naturally want to win the award. It's just that the strength is not good, and the sky does not fulfill people's wishes. Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Lack of strength, or bad luck?" said the reporter with a smile.

"Is there a difference?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

That's a big difference.

However, it is clear that the reporters will not dwell on this issue.

They only thought it was Mu Chen's humble words.

Mu Chen failed to win the best director, but no one would think that he was inferior to the award-winning director.
