Chapter 151: Er Xiaobao
In addition to the three nominations of Genesis Film Company, although the box office of "The True Story of the Crazy Guy", which directed Er Dongsheng for the first time, was only about 30 million, it was barely a cost recovery for Debao Film Company, but the reputation was excellent.
For this reason, he was not only nominated for Best New Director, but also nominated for Best Film, which shows how successful Er Dongsheng's transformation is!
As for Li Hanxiang's "Fire Dragon", although the reputation is not as good as "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", it has the word-of-mouth influence of the previous work, so many filmmakers are still optimistic that this "Fire Dragon" will win the award, and for the Shaw Brothers Film Company, which produced "Fire Dragon", this is also their last glorious period.
Of course, the highest demand is "The True Colors of Heroes", followed by "Why Have Me" and "Taking the Wrong Car", so this is why Director Zhang Ce said that he is optimistic about "The True Colors of Heroes".
At this time, director Zhang Ce announced the results: "The winner of the best film of the 3rd Chinese Film Golden Bull Award is "The True Color of Heroes" Genesis Film Company!" ”
Dozens of people from the Genesis Film Company cheered at the entire award ceremony, and some of these important staff involved in the filming of "True Colors of Heroes", such as actors, directors, cinematographers and sound effects, all walked onto the podium with the boss Meng Chao.
Meng Chao, as the boss, was naturally the first to speak: "Thank you for your support, we will continue to work hard, and I hope that after "The True Color of Heroes", we can make better movies and repay all those who support our company......"
After Meng Chao spoke briefly, he gave the opportunity to the other staff, except for Zhou Yunfa and Wu Yusen, most of them stepped on the podium for the first time, and some of them did not have the opportunity to show their faces at all.
So when they won the award at this time, they always had the person they wanted to thank the most, so Meng Chao, Fa Ge and Wu Yusen all tried their best to give more time to these behind-the-scenes heroes.
And the person they thank is naturally their own family, if there is no understanding and support from their family, so many people who make movies will be forced to change careers under the previous sluggish market environment, where is there today's scenery?
In this process, they may bear the burden of finance, the incomprehension and contempt between friends and neighbors, and even their own family members may occasionally have times when they can't look past it, but they still survived, without experiencing the attack of wind and rain, how can today's rainbow come?
Of course, in addition to the family, most people still mentioned one name: Meng Chao.
It can be said that Meng Chao, who was born at the bottom, still treats these employees very favorably after making money in Genesis Film Company, because Meng Chao himself came here like this, and knows that in addition to fame and profit, many people in this industry are insisting on a dream, and they can't treat these lovely people badly!
For this reason, they are sincerely grateful to Meng Chao, and they naturally want to take this opportunity to show their loyalty!
As the boss, Meng Chao looked at them with a smile on the side, he accepted all these words of gratitude, and also kept it in his heart, it is easy to break down a company, but it is very difficult to develop a company, Meng Chao always uses the words of these people to spur himself, and he can't let people who are willing to follow him to fight the world chill......
……
The highest glory of Chinese films, the 3rd Golden Bull Awards for Chinese Films, came to an end, and Meng Chao and Genesis Film Company were the biggest winners of this award ceremony!
For this reason, at the celebration dinner that night, he and another young talent in the film industry, director Er Dongsheng, both of whom were the focus of attention!
Of course, the biggest aura is still focused on Meng Chao's body, he has developed too fast, he was just a nobody at this time last year, and now in a year's time, the market value of his two companies is already hundreds of millions, which is enough to make people gasp after listening to it.
In the face of everyone's congratulations, Meng Chao responded with a smile and clinked glasses with him, so that the heroic and hearty made all filmmakers begin to like this approachable upstart in the film industry.
At this time, Er Dongsheng walked over with a glass of champagne and smiled at Meng Chao: "Congratulations, Mr. Meng, I feel honored to lose to a classic movie like "The True Color of Heroes". ”
Meng Chao also smiled and said: "Brother Xiaobao, you are too polite, I personally like your "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" very much. I'll toast you too! ”
After Er Dongsheng and Meng Chao clinked glasses again, he continued: "This is my honor, in fact, before the filming of "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" started, many people were not too optimistic, and Debao also thought about it for a long time before deciding to invest, and now the movie can have such a box office and nomination, I am already satisfied." ”
Meng Chao did not agree with Er Dongsheng's statement: "Brother Xiaobao, it's not right for you to say this, I think your movie is very thoughtful, but it is too realistic, and some viewers may think it is too cruel, but I am definitely optimistic about your future development, if there is a new movie that wants to start shooting, you are welcome to cooperate with me at any time!" ”
In fact, Er Dongsheng was also at a low point in his life during this time, and the old-fashioned martial arts films are now becoming more and more unmarketable, as the leading actor of martial arts films, he is actually facing the bottleneck of the film career like his brothers Jiang Dawei and Dillon, who are also from the Shaw Brothers.
For this reason, after seeing his brother Jiang Dawei as a director, he had good results, and Er Dongsheng came up with the idea of writing his own script and attracting investment to start making movies, and his road to directing can also be called twists and turns.
Since "The True Story of the Crazy Guy", his kind of realistic and literary style movies have not been favored by investors, if it weren't for the lack of talent in Debao's Pan Diqi now, he really wouldn't have invested money in Er Dongsheng to shoot "The True Story of the Crazy Guy".
For this reason, Er Dongsheng actually knows that it is becoming more and more difficult to start making new movies in the future, especially although "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" was nominated for several Golden Bull Awards, but in the end it only won a small Best Supporting Actor, which is still not too much of a limelight.
Therefore, Er Dongsheng's next road to directing is still destined to be very bumpy, Meng Chao even knows that in the parallel world, in order to shoot the work he wants to complete, Er Dongsheng even thought about selling his house, which shows that he is a person who has a lot of film pursuits.
Talented, pursued, capable, and attitude!
Who can hate such a character?
Anyway, Meng Chao admires Er Dongsheng very much, so he also threw an olive branch to him, hoping that Er Dongsheng can consider cooperating with Genesis Film Company in the future to start making a new movie.
