Chapter 139: The Old Monster Who Was Slapped in the Face
"Understood. ”
Chen Jialuo nodded, knowing the meaning of Xu Xian's words, it was indeed too simple for him to think about it. He doesn't have much desire for the Academy Awards, Golden Horse Awards, etc., to put it bluntly, it is a natural attitude.
Especially when you know that you are destined to run with you, what is the point of forcing a smile on your face? When it comes to film awards, most of the blockbuster awards are in the hands of literary films, and there is really no need for me to be too busy.
And now I am indeed too qualified, and I am still not qualified to win the blockbuster awards of the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue, which requires the accumulation of movies and the superposition of prestige.
It was precisely because of this idea that Chen Jialuo, who was in Singapore at the time, did not plan to deliberately go back to Xiangjiang for the Academy Awards.
However, after Xu Xian's long conversation on the phone, he suddenly woke up, and hurried back after the Spring Festival.
At the Academy Awards, he Chen Jialuo must participate, especially this year.
In the final analysis, no matter what industry it is, there is a circle, and the Academy Awards are more like the first commendation meeting of the Xiangjiang film industry every year. Chen Jialuo, as a particularly outstanding young new generation director last year, two films related to him were nominated for all the awards at the Academy Awards, if he does not attend the Academy Awards, I am afraid that public opinion will be in an uproar, and the Academy Awards Organizing Committee will also have great opinions on him.
It doesn't matter if the Golden Horse Awards don't go, the Academy Awards are your own awards, and this time it gives you face so much, and you have been shortlisted for so many awards, if you don't come again, it will be too much.
Chen Jialuo is maverick, but it does not mean that he is withdrawn, he is out of place, and he does not know how to behave. Xu Qian dialed it a little, and he understood.
"It's good if you understand, last time I heard that if you go, you can also win an award and come back, and you will be in Stanley for nothing. ”
To put it bluntly, the Asia-Pacific Film Festival is a third-rate award, which is used by the film industry to make up for it, Chen Jialuo doesn't say that he can't look down on it, in the critical period of the filming of "Prison Storm", he is not willing to waste time on this.
I remember that Wang Jing's father Wang Tianlin had an interesting story, when he made a "Happy Family" at random, he was unexpectedly notified to win the Best Director at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, and even won the Best Actress and Best Screenplay with this film.
Then he filmed a real literary film "Wild Rose Love", which won unanimous praise, and the classic singing and dancing scenes were not inferior to Western films, and everyone asked him to wear a dress to receive the award, but the final result was that he didn't even get shortlisted.
It is said that Wang Jing has a dragon slaying skill, but the reason why he loves, pee and fart is from his father's teaching. What doesn't win the award, you don't have to think about it so much, the first thing to consider is that the investment should be returned to the capital, and the audience should like it.
If Xu Wei and others are filmmakers, then Wang Jing is a real film businessman, and there is still an essential difference between them.
However, whether it is a literary film, Xu Wei's various brain hole ghost films or Wang Jing's spoof films, they are all a kind of movies, and in Chen Jialuo's view, it is okay to sell well without losing style.
As for the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, Chen Jialuo didn't care and said: "Aren't I making way for Brother Yi, otherwise how would Ah Fa come back as an actor at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival." However, the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes" during the Spring Festival was beaten by the high-mouthed "Rich and Powerful", I didn't expect it. ”
Debao Cinema's Gao Zhisen's "Rich and Powerful" won more than 27 million at the box office, just behind Fang Long and Chen Jialuo's works, ranking fifth among the highest-grossing films of the year, far higher than the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", which is only 22 million.
In this regard, Xu Qian could only smile bitterly: "No one thought of it, and the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes" itself has problems. ”
Compared with the commercial blockbusters launched in the same period in 1987, "Rich and Powerful" really acted as a box office dark horse.
can be ranked after "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", "Prison Storm", "Plan A Sequel", and "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the box office of 27.8 million yuan and the fifth place in the box office, it cannot but be said to be a model miracle of Xinyicheng's small-budget urban comedy films.
The film does not have a luxurious lineup, not even a commercial star with a little appeal, and it is completely won by the plot. At this point, it must be said that the script of the genius choreographer Gao Zhisen played a decisive role, and it should be credited.
The story of the film is witty, and the jokes are constant, Gao Zhisen used the skills he learned in Xinyicheng to perfection, and finally raised his eyebrows for Debao, and slapped Xinyicheng hard with this. If it weren't for Chen Jialuo's two movies in front, I was afraid that I would really lose face.
As for the question of the sequel to "True Colors of Heroes", there is no need to mention it at all. Wu Yusen didn't want to rush to start filming the second part, he couldn't stand Xu Wei to shoot, and the two of them were very unhappy because of this, and they were in a hurry when filming, and the script was not perfect, and it was already very good to win this box office.
Since ancient times, sequels have hit the streets, and there are few sequels of any works that can surpass the former in word-of-mouth and box office at the same time.
"Why are you in such a hurry to make a sequel, it's better to let Wu Yusen ...... it himself"
Without waiting for Chen Jialuo to finish speaking, Xu Qian waved his hand and said: "It's not just me, everyone wants to make "The True Color of Heroes" into a series of movies, such as "Best Partner", do you understand?"
Xu Qi recalled the last night of making "The True Color of Heroes".
On that day, a typhoon came, and the No. 10 typhoon signal was hoisted in Xiangjiang.
"It stands to reason that everyone has to go home, otherwise they go home and get injured, and the company has to compensate. As a result, they didn't go home, they all watched there. At that time, after the mixing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went to supper. At that time, there were me, Wu Yusen and Shi Yu. Everyone proposed, each of them to say a number, and predict the box office. Wu Yusen said first, this drama cost 5 million, the cost is very small, and I am satisfied with the box office of 7 million. Shi Yan asked me, and I followed his mood and said that this play is quite good-looking, and it will exceed 10 million. The greedy boss Shi Yu said, I'll look at 15 million. As a result, the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" was 34 million, and the response was too good. Before "The True Color of Heroes", it was all police and gangster films, and it all looked at how the police were righteous and who wanted to watch gangster films. The results came out, and the person who spoke shut up. ”
Xu Qing's speed of speech suddenly slowed down, looked at Chen Jialuo and said, "Ah Luo, don't let me down. I originally planned to let you shoot the sequel to "Prison Storm" first, since you want to make a sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story", then follow your wishes, the actors and I will negotiate one by one, you can prepare for filming with peace of mind, how about it?"
Chen Jialuo nodded and said, "I'm happy to relax, rest assured, Brother Xuan." ”
Wu Yusen and Xu Wei are already inseparable, the third part of "The True Color of Heroes" has been recorded, and Xu Xun plans to direct it himself, Wu Yusen completely left this salted fish turnover.
Xu Qian hopes to lay the foundation for several series of films for his film studio, and Chen Jialuo now has this ability, so it is natural to hope that he can make these sequels.
