Chapter 32: A Cycle of Twenty Years
18 January 2000. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Outside the Kodak Theater in Shuntianfu, the long red carpet slipped over, a full 99 meters, the reporter's photo area was densely packed with long guns and short artillery mounts, and the audience area was gathered with thousands of fans who spontaneously came to see the stars.
At half past three in the afternoon, the red carpet officially began.
Compared with Western countries, the domestic entertainment industry started relatively late, and initially learned from the experience of Western countries, from TV stations and movies to music records.
But then, in the early and mid-eighties, China experienced another wave of reflection and began to reject Western things, carrying out a so-called "de-Europeanization of the literary and artistic circles".
The influence of this reform was extremely far-reaching, and in terms of music, it made domestic music begin to shift from the original pure national drama style and sweet songs, and the polarization and confrontation between European and American imports, which are actually a large number of works that borrowed and imitated Western music, to explore the culture of the Chinese nation itself.
Folk songs, folk songs, folk songs and other music with a strong Chinese style began to flourish during this period, and for a long period of time after that, it dominated the music world, and also created a large number of top singers such as Liu Mingliang and Zhen Zhen.
In terms of the film and television market, it was also during that period that China began to try its best to get rid of the humble imitation of European and American works, began to explore its own national style, and produced a considerable number of high-quality products and outstanding genres, which truly laid a solid foundation for the development of domestic film and television.
In terms of TV dramas, from "Water Margin" that year, to "Wonder Hero Zhang Sanfeng", and then to "Journey to the West" directed by Feng Yumin, coupled with a considerable number of historical dramas and rural feature films full of local flavor, the domestic TV drama industry has completely formed its own style.
In terms of films, the most representative is the emergence of a group of people led by Qin Wei and Du Weiyun, two great directors, who have formed a huge influence at home and abroad with their own unique styles, on the one hand, the domestic film industry began to win international reputation, and on the other hand, it has indeed laid the foundation for the development of the domestic film market.
Of course, the price is that there are a group of old-school directors who began to be gradually replaced by Qin Wei and others during this period, and they were either forced to transform and explore new paths to cater to this reform, and the gradual transfer of the aesthetic taste of the domestic people behind the reform, or they were directly eliminated, and could only gradually turn behind the scenes.
After the rise of Qin Wei and Du Weiyun and others, it was followed by Zhao Meicheng's urban life comedy, which shined on the big screen, and what was not bad with him was the rise of Liu Chengzhang. Since then, the domestic film market has blossomed.
As a result, the entire film market has grown rapidly for 20 years.
Until 1997, the domestic box office reached an astonishing 8 billion Chinese yuan, equivalent to a total of 4 billion US dollars, becoming the third largest single box office market in the whole world after the United States and Japan that year.
Today, the power of this reform has reached its peak, but after the peak, it seems that the follow-up is a little weak. As a result, first the film market, and now the turn of the music record market, have begun to decline sharply, and even ...... Go to pieces.
Moreover, this is not simply reflected in the sudden recession of the film market in 98, nor is it simply that the record market finally had negative growth in 99, the most important thing is that the original "non-mainstream" has obtained the status of "mainstream" through reform, which meets the aesthetic needs and entertainment needs of people at that time, but today, the people who became the "mainstream" at the beginning, and the art they advocated, have once again failed to keep up with the pace of the times.
The rapid development of the national economy, the increasing national income, and the increasingly broadened horizons have all made the aesthetic taste and demand of the domestic people once again improve to another dimension.
For example, the Great Wall Award, which has always respected the voice of the audience, has been very representative since 1996, and for the first time in history, the red carpet has been added to the domestic awards event!
There is no doubt that this is learned from European and American countries, specifically, it is basically a copy of the Oscar!
However, ordinary people really like to watch this!
Therefore, seeing that the red carpet of the Great Wall Award has been booming, it is said that in the past two years, such as the Huabiao Award and the Feitian Award, they are also considering restructuring, at least they must also add the red carpet to it!
To put it simply, after nearly 20 years of "de-Europeanization", when domestic culture and entertainment have begun to take root, and the demand for the nation's own culture has become clear, when people open their eyes to see the world, they feel that foreign things are "very interesting".
…………
Since coming to this time and space, this is the first time Li Qian has walked the red carpet.
Previously, he did not attend the premiere of "Titanic", and the Golden Globes now have no red carpet.
But he is a man, even if he needs to attend in formal attire, there is not much to clean up after all, and Bai Yujing and He Runqing, as women, want to walk such a red carpet, but they really start tossing after breakfast.
The nomination of "The Legend of the New White Lady" submitted by Minghu Culture in the TV series category is one of the most important crews participating in this year's Great Wall Award competition, so it has received quite a lot of invitations.
Li Qian, Zhao He, Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Cao Zhan, Zhu Mingyu, Liu Qing, Lu Ming and other crew members, and Bai Yujing, Zhu Qiang, Zhong Ling, Hua Runsheng, Chen Xinfang, Shen Tiantian, Ming Hai, Zhou Yuhai, Wu Shaojun and other actors are counted, and they can't make up the two tables given by the organizers.
As for Liao Liao, of course she is a member of the crew, but as a guest singer of this year's Great Wall Awards, she has to go in in advance to prepare for the stage, and she can't walk the red carpet.
In addition, because Cheng Subei was nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Actress in the Film Actor category, but Yu Bojun did not come, so except for Zhao He, the assistant director, she almost had to run a single gang, and the organizer also arranged her very considerately to the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady".
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qian and the others had already arrived at a hotel not far from the Kodak Theater to wait.
The rules for the Great Wall Awards to walk the red carpet are based on the crew, but there is no obvious boundary between the crew of movies and TV series, basically a film crew will be arranged, and a TV drama crew will be arranged closely. It is precisely because of this that movie actors feel that it is not enough, and TV series actors are all piling up to make up.
Of course, there are only three top film and television awards in China, and in addition, there is only one Yangcheng Film Festival left in April every year, so even if it is a film actor with a bigger coffee position, as long as he receives an invitation, he is still very willing to give this face to come over and walk the red carpet.
What's more, now, after the domestic film market has experienced repeated declines, by the past 1999, its total market volume has only 5.3 billion Chinese yuan, which is 2.8 billion less than the peak in 1997. However, the market for TV dramas has become more and more popular in the past two years, especially the release of "The Legend of the New White Lady", which directly triggered a high tide of follow-up in the entire country, and its influence is difficult for most movies to achieve.
During the waiting period, everyone gathered together in the situation of the crew and laughed quietly, and the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady" was naturally no exception. Occasionally, someone will come over and say hello to Bai Yujing, Jin Han, Zhao He and others, and once introduced, Li Qian shook hands with others, and naturally had to talk a few words.
As a result, I waited until 4:40 p.m., seeing that the surrounding crews had already left, and there were only a few crews left in the entire backyard, it was finally Li Qian's turn.
The reason is that "The Legend of the New White Lady" is too popular, and Li Qian, the director, is also one of the most popular stars in China, so although they are a TV series, they are still arranged in the back, and they can only appear at the time of the finale.
Hua Runsheng, Chen Xinfang, Ming Hai, and Shen Tiantian went out to take the lead, attracting bursts of cheers on both sides of the red carpet, everyone may not remember their names, but they all know that they are the sisters of Li Gongfu and Xu Xian, and they know that it is Baoshan, and that is Li Bilian.
followed by Zhao He, Jin Han, Liu Qing, and Lu Ming, in comparison, even if it was just compared with the previous group, their experience was completely undisturbed.
Not to mention the fans at the scene, even many reporters are not familiar with them.
Then Cao Zhan, He Runqing, Zhou Yuhai, Wu Shaojun and Han Shunzhang and Zhu Mingyu went out, because of Cao Zhan, He Runqing, and the existence of Fahai and the Golden Cymbals, the scene cheered again.
And obviously, Li Qian was the last to be in charge of the finale.
When he stepped out of the extended version of the courtesy car sent by the organizer, as soon as Li Qian showed his head, he immediately aroused the exclamation of many sharp-eyed audiences- For a star like Li Qian, who never appears in any variety shows, and rarely accepts interviews, but is very popular, ordinary viewers can generally see him from a few pictures given in news reports, or on the album covers of the four major beauty bands.
Li Qian took Cheng Subei, and Zhu Qiang and Bai Yujing, the golden partners on the screen, walked side by side, and when they first walked on the red carpet, they attracted hysterical cheers from the audience.
The cheers were so loud that they could be heard clearly even by those who had already entered the theater.
Lu Ping listened for a while, turned his head and asked Gao Lanlan with a smile, "It should be the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady", right?"
Gao Lanlan smiled and nodded.
