Chapter 246: Those Who Believe in Me Get Eternal Life (Subscription Requested)
On February 10, 92, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Jin officially started work, and coincidentally, today is also the day when the Hong Kong Film Awards announced the nominations for major awards. ""
He was nominated for Best Actor for his wonderful performance in "The Legend of Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million", along with him Chow Yun-fat in "Across the Seas", Lu Liangwei in "Lame Hao", Zeng Zhiwei in "A Tale of Two Cities" and Stephen Chow in "Truant Dragon".
The decline of literary films can be seen from this nomination, not only that there is only one nomination for Best Actor, but that the nominations for all the awards add up to only three or four.
The market is so realistic, although it is unfair to say that it is too weak to stay strong, but the survival of the fittest is very suitable, now there are a few people who are willing to pay to watch literary films, not all of them are to relax and have fun before entering the cinema, what everyone wants is the kind of very simple relaxation and laughter, the kind of esoteric and obscure things of literary films, how can there be a market.
It is because of this situation that the superficial, crude and connotative commercial films are flooding the market, and maybe, it is really impossible to pick out a better literary film to fill the scene and encourage, so the Academy Awards are forced to accept these shoddy productions.
"The Biography of Inspector Lei Luo of 500 Million", Chen Jin doesn't think it's very good, but among all the nominated films, it can definitely be regarded as a high-level movie, especially after he joined, this movie and what Chen Jin had seen in the previous time and space have been qualitatively improved - whether it is from the acting skills of the actors, various scenes, props, photography, etc., there have been very big changes and improvements.
This is probably the reason why the film was a big hit, and now it can get as many as nine nominations - Best Film, Best Director Liu Guochang, Best Actor Chen Jin, Best Supporting Actor Guan Haishan, Best Supporting Actress Wang Zuxian, Best Screenwriter Chen Wenqiang, Best Cinematography Liu Weiqiang, Best Action Director Yuan Kui, Best Art Director Mo Shaoqi.
I went to the crew of "Hot Hand Detective" early in the morning, and Fa Ge was naturally there, as soon as Chen Jin saw him, he sighed twice and quipped, "Look at you, look at you, it's really getting more and more depraved, I haven't seen you fat again for a long time, I doubt that you can still lie on the ground and roll and shoot after a while." ”
Fa Ge pouted, and fought back without showing weakness: "Look at you, look at you, just get a nomination, what kind of pride you will become, I really want to see if you can find the north if you win the award." ”
Chen Jin swayed left and right proudly, and snorted: "Why, my heart is weak, I'm afraid that I won't lose face!" ”
"Lost to you?" Fa Ge answered, and was about to taunt him, Director John Woo, who had finished handing out the red envelopes for work, came back really well, and when he heard this, he smiled and answered, "Well, it's really possible, it's not that Ah Fa is not acting well, but that kind of film that spans the world really doesn't need too much acting skills, and Ah Fa doesn't have to play." ”
Looking at Chen Jinle's Chong Fa Ge squeezing his eyebrows, Director John Woo also smiled happily, this guy is always so easy to bring joy to everyone, and he is very infectious, sometimes you will feel a lot better when you see him happy, what a guy who has to be liked.
"In my opinion, among the five nominations, Ah Fa is the most unlikely, and then Stephen Chow in "Truant Dragon" and Lu Liangwei in "Lame Hao", "Speaking of this topic, Director John Woo sat down and expressed his opinion, "Stephen Chow's role is similar to Ah Fa's, not to mention, Lu Liangwei's performance in "Lame Hao" is good, but compared with you, there is a slight gap. ”
smiled and glanced at Chen Jin, "This is my personal opinion, it does not represent the Academy Awards jury, and I am not a member of the jury, then, the rest is Zeng Zhiwei in "A Tale of Two Cities", to be honest, his performance is very outstanding, and the most important point is that you must also know that the film he played is a serious literary film, and it is a very good literary film. With that, he shrugged, and the meaning was self-explanatory.
Once a person has an idea, but it is suddenly shattered, it will still be a little uncomfortable, Chen Jin at this time is in this situation, he didn't think much about it before, but he aroused his mind to Director John Woo, but in the end it was a ruthless blow, and he himself thought that what people said was still very reasonable. ..., Seeing his somewhat depressed expression, Fa Ge patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile, "Tell you a way, isn't it just now, you can find a few people to do him now." ”
Chen Jin's psychological quality was so strong that he was perverted, and he immediately turned his worries into joy, jumped up and grabbed Fa Ge's neck, and laughed: "In order to avoid any accidents, I will simply kill a few of you." ”
happily finished filming the morning scene, and at noon dinner, Chen Jin took Fa Ge to the side, and without waiting for him to ask, he said directly: "Fa Ge, are you interested in filming a TV series with me?" ”
Seeing him stunned, Chen Jin smiled and shrugged, "I wrote the script myself, I plan to direct and act by myself, and I still have an important actor missing, I think you are the most suitable," he spread his hands, "I know you haven't acted in a TV series for a long time, but I hope you think about it, of course, you can decide after reading the book." ”
Fa Ge scratched his head with great effort and shrugged his shoulders, "Why do I think I don't understand you anymore, TV series?" Those who acted in TV series worked hard, as if they were crazy and drilled into the film industry, but you turned down so many movie contracts, saying that you directed and acted in TV series. ”
Saying that, he was stunned for a moment, and waved his chopsticks, "Wait a minute, you said that you wrote the script yourself and directed and acted by yourself," frowning and thinking for a while, he still didn't figure it out, and asked directly: "Tell me honestly, what do you mean, anyway, I don't have anything to do this year, as long as you say it well, it doesn't matter if I play with you." ”
"I want to make great efforts to open up the Asian market, especially Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, China and other places, to dig deeper into these regions, and this is what records and movies can do, especially movies still have great limitations, only TV series, that thing is broadcast on TV stations, as long as it is a classic and good film, just like the "Shanghai Tang" you filmed back then, when the ratings are high and the duration is long, that kind of publicity will be wider and more thorough."
Chen Jinli slowly said his own thoughts, "The more people come into contact with you and like you, you will have greater value, not to mention movies and records, advertising revenue and commercial performances account for more and more of us, and he can make us get more in this aspect." ”
Fa Ge interrupted him at this time and said directly: "Even if what you say is reasonable, are you so sure that you can make a good film?" As far as I know, you don't think you've ever done this kind of work before. ”
Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders with a confident expression, "Have you ever seen me do something I'm not sure about, or rather, am I the kind of person who messes around?" ”
Fa Ge glanced at Chen Jin very seriously, shook his head with a smile, as if he was noncommittal, and seemed to affirm him, and then stretched out his hand, "Bring me the book!" ”
Chen Jin smiled at this time, "No, I haven't written it yet, you can wait for me for half a month!" Actually, this guy didn't start writing at all, Fa Ge's eyes widened when he heard it, and he almost threw the fast food box in his hand on him, "What, you haven't done it yet, so what are you blowing," waved his hand and stood up, "Go, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”
Chen Jin knew that he had agreed, and took it with a smile, "It's still the same sentence, just promise that you won't regret it." ”
Fa Ge casually stuffed the fast food box into Zhang Weixiong's hand, turned around and frowned and said: "I almost forgot, I heard what you mean, I have to buy TV copyrights to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the mainland, I want to ask, are you too arrogant, it's not that my brother said you, sometimes it's better to be stable, everything you have now is something that others can't get in their lifetime." ”
Chen Jin laughed and joked, "Brother Fa, let me tell you, those who believe in me will have eternal life, do you believe it?" Without waiting for Fa Ge to use the fast food box, he ran away with a smile first.
Although Chen Jin said it very simply, he had already thought it through, this thing was something he was thinking about when he came back from Japan in January this year, in this era, entertainment is extremely scarce, the audience of records and movies is still too small if compared with TV, and even, the continuous publicity is not as good as TV dramas, that thing has dozens of episodes at a time, and one side is two or three months or even longer.
Hong Kong and Taiwan and even later the mainland have also made a lot of classic TV dramas, but these TV series have their limitations, that is, they can only be popular in the region, not in Japan, South Korea, let alone the United States.
On the contrary, some TV dramas in the United States, Japan and South Korea swept across the country, Hong Kong and Taiwan, forming a trend among young people and even housewives, and they are the main force of consumption.
Why this reason, Chen Jin has analyzed, although Japanese dramas and Korean dramas have some characteristics of their own countries, they are essentially a popular fashion drama, which has elements such as love, fashion and so on that resonate with most people, so he can become popular.
Some dramas in China and Hong Kong have too strong local flavors, which hinders more people from understanding and appreciating them, which also causes the fatal wound of not being popular.
Chen Jin is not thinking about the United States for the time being, he has not yet established his roots in Asia, he has some influence in Japan and South Korea, but the last incident still makes him vigilant, he has to exert more influence on those places.
The record has been released, the movie has limitations and the protection policies of various countries, and the TV series is another way that can be used to serve him, American dramas or anything are not used now, but the Korean dramas that were very popular later can be used, especially in Asia.
