Chapter 392: The Sensation of the Nomination
In February, the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards and the 60th Academy Awards announced the list of nominees, with the announcement of the nominees for the two major film awards in Hong Kong and the United States, Chen Ping'an and his dark horse International once again appeared on the cusp and became the focus of Hong Kong public opinion.
The list of nominees for Best Film is as follows: "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Midnight Bell", "Prison Storm", "Wong Fei Hung", "Dragon and Tiger", "Heavenly Bodhisattva". Of the six nominated films, four are from Dark Horse International, three of which are directed by Chen Ping'an, and the other two are from New Arts City and Yindu.
No one will think that the jury is unfair and too biased towards Dark Horse International in favor of Chen Ping'an. Four films from Dark Horse International are well deserved to be nominated. On the contrary, some people questioned whether the judging pattern thought that Dark Horse International had received too many nominations, so that it could be prosecuted.
"God of Gamblers" is a commercial film, which does not meet the requirements of the Academy Awards for artistry, and it is understandable that it was not nominated, but what about "My Sassy Girlfriend"? Many believe that the film is at least more eligible for the Best Picture nomination than Yindu's "Heavenly Bodhisattva".
Nominated for Best Director, Dark Horse International is the biggest winner. Zhang Wanting was unsurprisingly nominated for "Autumn Fairy Tale"; Chen Ping'an was nominated twice for "Prison Storm" and "Huang Feihong".
The nomination for Best Actor is Zhou Runfa's world.
It is not for nothing that last year was called the year of Zhou Runfa in the film industry, and he received three nominations for "Dragon and Tiger", "Prison Storm" and "God of Gamblers", accounting for as many as half of the six nominations.
The other three titles fell on Li Xiuxian's "Dragon and Tiger", Zeng Zhiwei's "Final Victory" and Chen Ping'an's "Autumn Fairy Tale".
The competition for Best Actress is the most motivating.
Zhong Chuhong's "Autumn Fairy Tale", Xiao Fangfang's "It's Not Enemies Don't Get Together", Zhang Min's "My Savage Girlfriend", Li Lizhen's "Final Victory", Zheng Yuling's "Fantastic Two Heroines", and Lin Qingxia's "Midnight Bell" were nominated at the same time.
Six movies, six heroines, competing for the title of actress.

For the big and small awards of the Academy Awards, Dark Horse International received the most nominations, accounting for almost half of the nominations. However, Hong Kong citizens have adapted to it, not to mention the Academy Awards, even the Golden Horse Awards in the past two years have almost become a one-man show of Dark Horse International.
Some media sourly asked the jury in public opinion, is it still necessary to save such an Academy Award? Every year, Dark Horse International takes the lion's share, and other film companies accompany the prince to study every year, and after a long time, how many people are willing to participate?
Many people in the circle are aware of this problem, but they are helpless against the situation of Dark Horse International's dominance. can only hope that Chen Ping'an will only open one Hong Kong film this year, and next year's Academy Awards will truly achieve a situation where a hundred flowers will bloom.
At the 60th Academy Awards, as Chen Ping'an expected, "Rain Man" received a number of nominations.
Best Original Screenplay, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Editing, a total of eight nominations, Chen Ping'an was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director, Dustin Hoffman was nominated for Best Actor, and Bao Dexi was nominated for Best Cinematography.
Two Orientals appeared in the Academy Awards nominations at the same time, representing the highest level of American cinema, and one of them was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director, which is the first time in the history of the Oscars!
After the list was announced in the United States, it immediately aroused heated discussions in the media, and many Americans became curious about Chen Ping'an, a Chinese-American.
I don't want other directors and stars in the American film industry to appear in front of the public. Chen Ping'an rarely appeared in the United States, and it was only at this moment that through the detailed introduction of a certain newspaper, he found that this Dongfang Chen was not simple.
The year before last, "The Love of People and Ghosts", the year before last, the "City of Myths", and last year's "Rain Man...... Although many people have rarely heard of Dongfang Chen, these three movies are almost unknown to everyone.
When Chen Ping'an's directorial experience in the United States was shown in detail in the newspaper, the Americans found out that this Oriental Chen had actually shot many movies that can be called classics. And he has a very good relationship with black people, and he also banned white actress Sharon Stone in another way at last year's Academy Awards.
Although there is a saying that the reason why Sharon Stone was forgotten by the entertainment industry was because she was out of shape, it still couldn't change Americans' first impression of Chen Ping'an - mysterious!
This is how the vast majority of Americans feel about Chen Ping'an, just like his filming of "City of Myths", the eastern country he came from, full of mystery.
Wanting to know more about this Oriental Chen, Americans find it very difficult, because this person is rarely in the United States. Not to mention them, even after the list was announced, the media department couldn't find anyone to interview Chen Ping'an, so they could only conduct a telephone interview across the Pacific Ocean.
The multiple nominations for the two film awards did not bring Chen Ping'an much fun and satisfaction, because they were all within his expectations. It's not as good as the good momentum that ATV is showing so far, which brings him more happiness.
ATV, Office of the President.
"This is the recent ratings statistics table of the station, you can take a look." Shi Nansheng handed the report in his hand to Chen Ping'an, "Are you done with the company?" β
The company in her mouth naturally refers to Dark Horse International, which has grown little by little in her hands, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion.
"It's almost all arranged. Sister Aijia, like you, is the person I feel most comfortable with. Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, "At the beginning of next month, I am ready to leave for the United States, and Hong Kong will depend on you." β
"Don't say that, you pay me a salary again, and we won't do it if we don't pay it! The situation in the station is not bad in this short period of time, "Love Letter", "He is from Jianghu" and the effect of the reversal unit drama are very good. Is there anything else good to build? β
In the past month, "Love Letter" has become synonymous with popular elements, and the performers have participated in the show and shown their various charms in the show, and their popularity has been improved in different ways.
From the beginning when Chen Ping'an personally came forward to invite celebrities as guests, now many people have taken the initiative to inquire about the news and want to be guests on the show, and even say that it is okay to have more money and less money, as long as they have the opportunity to be on the show.
"Love Letter" has become the most popular variety show among young people, and young people are the craziest, most powerful, and most powerful group with the strongest spending power.
I thought about Lou Nanguang, who used to be only second- and third-tier artists, mostly playing supporting roles. Due to image problems, few businesses invite him to attend ribbon-cutting, ceremonies, and other activities. But now there are merchants who have asked him to attend outdoor interactions, interacting with customers on behalf of merchants, and the effect is very good.
Once attended a promotion meeting of outdoor products, Lou Nanguang's popularity actually surpassed those bodybuilding coaches and female models. As soon as he appeared on the stage, as soon as he opened his mouth, he imitated the tone and expression in "Love Letter", and compared himself with the bodybuilding coach and beautiful female model next to him, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
This is all thanks to "Love Letters".
Living up to Chen Ping'an's expectations, "Love Letter" has now become one of ATV's fist shows.
The ratings of the reversal drama have increased a lot compared to before, and they are currently stable at more than 30 points. This is already very good, and what is even more rare is that it has accumulated a lot of audiences. At present, Shi Nansheng has adopted a new policy to solicit single-episode scripts from all audiences, and once adopted, he will not only buy it out at a high price, but also invite the audience to participate in the filming and co-star with the star.
This policy was supported by a wide range of viewers, who received more than 1,000 letters a day, and two episodes were filmed according to the audience's ideas, and the ratings of those two episodes were as high as 40 points, which caused a sensation.
"He's from Jianghu" has been launched, and less than half of it is currently broadcast, and the ratings curve is rather weird. In the first two days of broadcasting, the ratings were less than twenty points, which was a big disappointment.
At that time, the station thought that the cast was not big enough, or the nonsensical style was unacceptable to the audience, but Wu Mengda poured bitter water into "Love Letter" to promote "He is from Jianghu", and invited several main actors in "He is from Jianghu" as his family and friend group to help him pursue his favorite female guests, and the ratings of "He is from Jianghu" began to rise rapidly.
So far, it has been stable at 35 points, with the highest rating of more than 40 points, and the nonsensical style has been accepted by many audiences, and there are many viewers who have watched "Ghost Fighting Zombies", recalling the funny episodes at that time, which is similar to the style of "He Comes from Jianghu".
The ratings of thirty or forty points are not the highest, and there is absolutely no chance to challenge the annual ratings champion, but as a TV series that does not have too many big names to participate, the ratings of thirty or forty points are already very high. And it has had a big impact on the episodes that are being played on TVB, and I heard that it has dropped seven or eight points!
What's more, in the drama TongguΓ², the original artists of ATV, and the artists who joined ATV in response to Chen Ping'an's call, the relationship has become much more harmonious.
Chen Ping'an's three fires, except for "Love Letter", are not amazing, but they have made a good start, and ATV's morale and morale have gradually recovered. "Bao Qingtian", which is currently being filmed, except for Jin Chaoqun and Fan Hongxuan of China Television, the other actors are ATV's own artists.
The play "Bao Qingtian" is divided into several stories, except for the Iron Triangle and Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty Ma Han, the actors of each story are different. For actors, if there is a job and filming, there is an opportunity to make money and become famous.
The start was successful and the situation was good, which was Shi Nansheng's reliance on the current ATV, and she very much hoped that Chen Ping'an would provide a few more suggestions to continue this situation and get better and better.
Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly: "How can I pay so much attention? You have more experience than me on the TV station, so you should be stable and not in a hurry. With the current momentum, steady progress is fine. Don't think you'll be able to beat wireless all at once. β
Why doesn't Shi Nansheng know? She glanced at Chen Ping'an and feigned anger: "Then what are you doing here?" β
"For this year's Asian sister ......" R1152
