Chapter 1166: Avenue of Stars
As in previous years, the Golden Dragon Awards are still held a month after the Lunar New Year.
And the Oscars of the United States almost started during this time period.
However, the two film festivals, which have a high international reputation, do not have a mandatory requirement that shortlisted films should not participate in other film festivals.
However, the vast majority of films do not participate in two film festivals at the same time, and even if they do, they have a focus.
It's just that this situation seems to be a little different when it comes to Yang Ming.
In the past year, Yang Ming has two movies released, one is "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" and the other is "People and Ghosts Are Not Over".
It stands to reason that if his two films are placed in the Oscars, they can only compete for side awards such as Best Foreign Language Film, but under Bobble's operation, these two films can compete for multiple Oscar awards!
This is also where the past life is different.
"People and Ghosts Are Not Over" is good to say, there are actors of other colors and races, but "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", a pure Chinese movie, participating in the competition for various Oscar awards, is simply an incredible thing if it is placed in the previous life.
Art knows no borders!
This classic sentence was put forward by the film circles of the two countries during the Cold War between China and the United States, and it also affected the film festival.
Therefore, there is such a precedent, and the competition for "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" to be shortlisted for various Oscars is not too abrupt, and the blame can only be blamed on this film being too good.
But Yang Ming didn't put his mind on the Oscars.
Originally, he was not very interested in winning the Oscars this year, and he is not the kind of director who is addicted to awards, and he does not need to use film festival awards to set off his success, and the box office has already spoken for itself.
However, Barber doesn't care whether Yang Ming is interested or not, in his opinion, "Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms" and "Unfinished Love" can be shortlisted for the Oscars, which can be regarded as victories.
This is related to the sales of these two film peripheral products in the United States, and it can also be regarded as the performance of the Oriental DreamWorks in the United States, Barber will naturally not give up, in his eyes, he will never give up if he does not squeeze the commercial value of any movie clean.
can be related to the Academy Awards, at least the VCD sales of these two movies can increase a lot.
Yang Ming doesn't care about the Oscars, but he can't care less about the Golden Dragon Award.
In this life, he has always been grateful for the Golden Dragon Awards, and he is also proud that Chinese films in this world can have such a local award from the three major international film festivals.
The influence of the Golden Dragon Award in East Asia is undoubted.
In order to be shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award, the film circles of East Asian countries are simply breaking their minds.
After the Spring Festival, the film circles of North Korea and Japan are particularly active, constantly appearing in the local media in China to do all kinds of publicity, brush up on their presence, gain the favor of the judges, and hope to increase the chances of winning the award.
With the development of the Chinese film market in recent years, the total box office data of movies has risen at a rocket-like speed every year, and the topic of the Golden Dragon Award has become more and more popular and has become a national topic.
After Yang Ming promised that Tao Lao would definitely attend the Golden Dragon Award in person, so that the old man could rest easy, he focused on the rehearsal of the martial arts group for two consecutive days.
With a martial arts group of nearly 1,000 people, the rehearsal venue for the film must not be small.
Yang Ming was dissatisfied with finding a lot of places, and finally turned to Minister Guo for help, and through military coordination, he found an ordinary military camp station, and rehearsed on the playground of the military camp to really solve this matter.
The program planning ideas of the martial arts groups are certainly from Yang Ming's hands, but his ideas are also derived from the things that these martial arts groups themselves will have.
So, when he told Ji Junxiong, the old abbot, Senior Brother Xiang and others about all the ideas of the show, they basically understood what he meant.
And the performance style of the whole show is also responsible for an internal team in the entertainment industry that is famous for packaging and building.
Yang Mingcai relieved himself.
He doesn't need to keep an eye on the next show rehearsals, and when the time comes, he just needs to wait for the show to take shape, and he can come over to see if there are any loopholes.
The date passed day by day, because there were too many things after the year, Yang Ming didn't have time to start filming "Fast and Furious".
However, for some unimportant scenes, he has arranged for the executive director to take the crew to shoot, and when he has participated in the Golden Dragon Award, the crew will officially start.
But he was not idle.
Although most of the scenes in "Fast and Furious" are action and explosions, there are also some special effects shots, and he goes to Leying Digital whenever he has time to watch the progress of special effects production.
The whole person is busy with his feet and does not touch the ground.
In this case, Yang Ming became more and more determined in his heart, and in the future, he could only make one movie a year at most, or one every two years!
It's just too busy.
He didn't even have time to copy out "Dragon Babu", which made many countless book fans who were looking forward to him always babbling about it on the Internet, saying that he shouldn't forget about the novel because he was busy making movies!
Huaxia, Yanjing!
As the capital of China, Yanjing's reputation is undoubted, and it is an ancient capital with a history of more than 3,000 years.
Whether ancient or modern, the city has endured countless years of ups and downs, but it still plays an important role.
Compared with the previous life, the economic status of Yanjing in the present world is much weaker, but the political status is much higher, both domestic and international, it is unique and second to none.
Yanjing is equal to Huaxia!
Perhaps because there are not too many factories and enterprises in Yanjing today, there are many entertainment and cultural industries in Yanjing City, and most of the headquarters of major film companies are set up in the majestic Yanjing City.
Without the environmental pollution of the factory, coupled with the government's unremitting efforts to protect the greenery for decades, the entire Yanjing City is antique and beautiful.
Although there are a little less high-rise buildings in the industrial city, there is a lot more refreshment of nature.
Theater Road, a very common road name.
But whether it is in Yanjing or abroad, if this ordinary road name in China is placed in Yanjing, then it will immediately become known to everyone, and everyone knows it!
In the past, most companies in the local film industry had their headquarters located on this road, although later due to the change of time, most film companies gradually moved their headquarters out of this road and put them in a better office environment.
Even so, it still does not affect the status of this road in the entertainment industry.
Because every year the Golden Dragon Award is held at the National Grand Theater on Theater Road.
Year after year, day after day, the name of Theater Road is comparable to the Hollywood of the United States!
It's just that this year this road will have another nickname: the Avenue of Stars!
Yang Ming saw that Hollywood did not engage in the world-famous Avenue of Stars in his previous life, and the last time he discussed the reform of the Golden Dragon Award with Tao Lao, he immediately told Tao Lao the idea of "Avenue of Stars".
All filmmakers who have made a certain contribution to the Chinese film industry will make their names and representative experiences into star-shaped medals, which will be forever embedded on the road as an eternal memorial!
As soon as he put forward this idea, he was immediately appreciated by Tao Lao.
It's no wonder that for people like Tao Lao, money and property are not in their eyes at all, so there is only fame.
Now Yang Ming proposed this Avenue of Stars to commend and record the plan for outstanding contributions to the Chinese film industry, which immediately touched Tao Lao's mind, even if he has always been calm and light-hearted, he will inevitably move his mind.
If his name can be engraved on this Avenue of Fame, then it will not be in vain that he will live in the film industry all his life.
Today is the day of the official opening of the Golden Dragon Awards, and it is also the day when the Avenue of Stars is officially unveiled and met by the public!
Although the mysterious decoration of the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee on the theater road caused a lot of media reports at first, the media gave up completely after staring at it for a while, and they didn't know what the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee was doing.
Maybe it's just a normal road repair, which makes this Golden Dragon Award more gorgeous.
Four o'clock in the afternoon!
Although the cold winter has just passed, Yanjing is still a little cold.
But at this moment, the entire theater road is already overcrowded, and many media reporters driving interview cars have already surrounded this road.
The government also announced three days in advance that the theater road will be subject to traffic control today.
At first, they were curious about why the organizing committee asked to arrive as early as possible, but now seeing this scene, it seems to be extraordinary, and it is definitely not a trivial matter.
Yang Ming also arrived early, although he attracted a lot of camera lenses to focus on him, but at this time he was present, completely small, standing in an unnoticeable corner.
After a while, I saw Tao Lao, who was full of gorgeous hair, standing in front of the microphone surrounded by everyone.
"It has been 109 years since the birth of film, and the history of Chinese films has also been 100 years, in these 100 years, there have been countless Chinese people who have made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese films, and their names will forever be recorded in the history of film, the development of the film industry to the present, has entered a new era, we must also keep pace with the times, with new eyes to meet the future of the film industry!"
"In order to forever commemorate those who have made outstanding contributions to the entertainment and cultural industry, today we are launching the Walk of Fame, which will radiate the sidewalks around Theater Road in 16 blocks, and we will also have the Chinese Hall of Fame."
Tao Lao said a lot of words, introducing the theme and purpose of the Avenue of Fame and the Hall of Fame to the media and guests one by one.
Originally, the on-site media reporters didn't think it was a big plan, but when they noticed that all the celebrities and artists in the camera showed a kind of fanatical expectation, their hearts trembled, and they suddenly thought of something, and they were all excited.
At first glance, this Avenue of Fame and Hall of Fame seem to be only commemorative in other industries, but it is different in the entertainment industry.
This will push China's entertainment and cultural industry to a higher level.
The Walk of Fame and the Hall of Fame are not limited to the film industry.
At this point, Yang Ming told Tao Lao at the beginning that if it is just a family in the film industry and does not bring anyone else, then people in other circles will definitely engage in their own Avenue of Fame, which will inevitably disperse the influence.
It's better to get together.
Entertainment is more than just movies.
Actors, musicians, directors, producers, musical ensembles, theater groups, avatars are all included.
Similarly, Chinese quintessential Peking Opera celebrities, as well as well-known folk arts such as cross talk, sketches, and acrobatics are also included, which is equivalent to exhausting the popular culture of Chinese entertainment.
At this moment, the guests who came to attend the unveiling ceremony of the Avenue of Stars are not only the predecessors of the film industry, but also many celebrities from other circles.
After hearing Tao Lao's introduction, the media reporters at the scene suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there would be so many unexpected celebrities in the film industry today.
Just now they were still wondering how this year's Golden Dragon Award was a bit 'non-mainstream', inviting so many outside guests to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards, and now when they hear the plan of this Avenue of Stars, they understand everything.
Tao Lao's voice fell, and the scene resounded with warm applause.
The inlay ceremony of the first 'Star Medal' was not from the film industry, but Mr. Lan He, a generation of Peking Opera performance masters who passed away not long ago!
This Mr. Lan He is one of the most influential masters of Chinese Peking Opera, and is known as the 'Four Great Dans' along with the other three Peking Opera artists, and has also played a role in the development of modern Chinese opera art.
In this way, everyone received the star-shaped medal and engraved their biographies for future generations to admire.
In this regard, no one at the scene was unconvinced!
The next ceremony of the Avenue of Stars is very lively, and the mosaic ceremony of each star-shaped medal will usher in a climax, and the announcement of the name of each star-shaped medal will receive overwhelming applause!
The list of personnel can be described as expected, and all of them are outstanding people who are happy and convinced.
Yang Ming stood aside, watching the ceremony being held, and applauded happily.
Although the concept of the 'Avenue of Fame' plan proposed by him is the same as that of Hollywood, the implementation is much more rigorous.
He doesn't want the Avenue of Fame in this world to end up like the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, and become a tool for collecting money, as long as you have money, you can get your name on the Walk of Fame.
And it's an ongoing charge, known as a maintenance fee!
As long as you don't pay the money, the name will disappear immediately.
In the previous life, there were many domestic stars who spent money to go to Hollywood to leave their names, and then came back to hype up the so-called international star effect!
Yang Ming was speechless about this.
When he was discussing the Avenue of Stars plan with Tao Lao, he reminded Tao Lao several times that he would rather lack than overuse and not lower the grade of the Star Medal.
must shape the Avenue of Stars into the supreme honor of the Chinese entertainment industry, once the grade drops, it is almost difficult to improve and recover, and it is estimated that it may not be possible to use several times the strength.
But Yang Ming also proposed the so-called 'Hall of Fame' plan for the characteristics of the entertainment industry.
This Hall of Fame can be lowered a little.
However, the form is different, it is not a star-shaped medal, but a handprint!
After all, today's society is not the kind of society that pays attention to dedication in the past, the entertainment industry is originally a vanity fair, and if you want to be pure and clean, not tacky at all, it is simply impossible.
Therefore, the Hall of Fame is relatively more entertaining.
The Avenue of Stars is even more sacred and solemn.
Yang Ming looked at the ceremony and smacked his lips, according to his current fame, he was still a little short of leaving a name on the Avenue of Stars, but the Hall of Fame was enough for him to leave a handprint.
