The box office in North America has always been a city that Chinese movies have not been able to conquer for a long time, and later because of the popularity of kung fu movies in the North American market for a period of time, many martial artists in the Chinese film industry began to become fragrant.

The number of kung fu and martial arts movies filmed is also increasing, but the box office results are really unsatisfactory.

So now it seems that the main reason is that simple action movies do not meet the taste of North American audiences, and what people are pursuing is that in addition to exciting action, there are other connotations.

For example, the Wong Fei Hung series is like this!

So although Xiao Ran has two nominations, he still feels inferior to his father Xiao Yuanshan, but it doesn't matter, Xiao Ran has already won the actor last year, and it is his father's turn this year, but it is okay, even if other senior brothers take it, it is not a problem, anyway, they are all their own people.

At this time, Wu Wenhui also began to announce: "The winner of the Best Actor at the 30th Chinese Film Golden Dragon Award is Xiao Yuanshan of "Huang Feihong"! ”

After practicing Wing Chun for nearly 30 years and making movies for nearly ten years, Xiao Yuanshan's efforts in the entire film industry are seen by many people.

So when he won the award at this moment, almost all the filmmakers in the audience stood up and applauded and cheered for him!

Best Supporting Actor last year and Best Actor this year!

Standing on the podium, no matter how calm Xiao Yuanshan's personality is, at this moment, it will be difficult to calm down in the face of the greatest honor for actors in the entire film industry.

Although he has won the European and American Golden Deer Awards before, after all, it is an award in someone else's country, where can it compare to the five-clawed Golden Dragon trophy, the highest glory in his country?

This time, Xiao Yuanshan thanked all the staff of Shaw Film Company. I also thanked the directors and actors who have worked with him along the way, because his acting skills have been trained step by step.

There are only two mega jackpots left. Best Director and Best Film.

The origin of the award presenters should naturally not be too small, such as the two guests who appear at the moment, are definitely qualified.

One is Meng Baichuan, who is known as an all-round filmmaker in the film industry. has always been known in the film industry as the most powerful Chinese director in the soundtrack, the most powerful producer in the soundtrack, the most powerful in action and speed car direction in production, the most powerful screenwriter in action and speed car guidance, and the most powerful actor in screenwriter......

Of course, now the praise of the most powerful actor in the last screenwriter has to be replaced, because as a screenwriter, Xiao Ran is obviously much more successful as an actor than him.

However, Meng Baichuan is still a very respected figure in the film industry, after all, this is the case in any industry, and he can be an all-rounder in an industry. Being respected is for sure.

Because this represents his superb wisdom, as well as his strong learning ability and energy.

And another award presenter, Fang Dahai, is still not small, although his current identity is only a supporting actor, and he often plays the image of a big brother in some movies, such as a retired detective, an uncle in the club, a business tycoon and the like.

But in the past, his identity was very powerful, and it can be said that half of the directors of the southern school of Chinese film are now his apprentices, and he is also a fierce man who has been nominated for best director since the first Golden Dragon Awards.

So these two award programs are absolutely qualified.

And Meng Baichuan worshipped two masters when he was making movies. One is a generation of film score master Hu Liwei, and the other is Fang Dahai.

So although Meng Baichuan may be more well-known among the younger generation now, he still respects this master who taught him very much.

"Master, for everyone recently, everyone is saying that the second spring of Chinese movies is coming. What do you think? ”

When the master and apprentice stood on the podium, they were no more unfamiliar with each other than some of the previous award guests, so before the awards. They are all used to talking to each other first.

After hearing Meng Baichuan's words at this time, Fang Dahai smiled and said, "What about you? I heard that you haven't filmed in two years. After seeing that the box office of basically movies has exceeded 100 million recently, are you excited? ”

Meng Baichuan smiled a little shyly: "It's really a little heartwarming." recently received a new Jianghu movie, which should be released in a few months. ”

"That's right, you can't help but run out to make movies, so naturally it means that our film industry has indeed begun to recover, but this is thanks to the efforts of our filmmakers, who have shot a lot of sincere works, so that the audience is willing to return to the cinema to watch movies, so the box office can continue to rise!"

Meng Baichuan also echoed: "What Master said makes sense, the more satisfied the audience is with the movies they see when they enter the cinema, the more they will naturally be willing to enter the cinema, only in this way can the film truly achieve recovery, and it really depends on the efforts of the filmmakers!" ”

Fang Dahai also smiled: "That's right, then this year's conference is actually to commend some filmmakers who have worked hard in the past year, and it is their unremitting support that will not lead to the elimination of our Chinese films!" Now let's take a look at the list and clips of last year's best director nominations."

Saying that, a thick male voice sounded again: "The nominees for Best Director at the 30th Chinese Film Golden Dragon Awards are: "New Love" Xiao Ran...... "Huang Feihong" Xiao Ran...... "Dear Child" Li Shengtian...... "Taiping" Xu Guangwen...... "East Evil and West Poison" Wang Wei ......"

Although "East Evil and West Poison" was in the middle and late stages, Xiao Ran was basically in charge of it on the spot, but the director still hung Wang Wei's name, which can be regarded as Xiao Ran's care for him.

Unexpectedly, it was affirmed by the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee, and "East Evil and West Poison" could also be nominated for Best Director, which can be regarded as a turnaround work of Wang Wei, although the final box office of the movie is not as powerful as Xiao Ran's other films.

But as a literary film, after investing nearly 100 million, it is already an incredible thing to be able to make a profit and be nominated for awards.

Xu Guangwen, who was poached by Jiayi Film Company, was barely nominated for nomination with only one "Taiping", which was still a nomination that the organizing committee weighed for a long time before it was replaced, and was originally prepared to nominate Yuan Biao's police story series, because this film series contracted all the positions in the top three box office of the year in the island country, which can be regarded as giving Chinese people a long face.

But in the end, he still gave Xu Guangwen, last year's best director, face, and did not remove his "Taiping", but the film that was barely shortlisted in the end also had the lowest votes!

The person who announced it was Meng Baichuan, and I only listened to him: "The best director who won the 30th Chinese Film Golden Dragon Award is Xiao Ran of "Huang Feihong". ”

Although the other "New Love" is also a hit, from the director's point of view, the difficulty of filming the Wong Fei Hung series is indeed higher than that of filming "New Love", because the Wong Fei Hung series itself is a movie that combines literary drama and martial arts, and it is also a movie in the early Republic of China, and the actors have to work more on the lines alone.

"Thank you to all the staff for their cooperation, the position of director is a core leading role, but if there is no cooperation of all the staff, then let alone winning awards, it is very difficult to make a good movie, so thank you for your efforts to make our Wong Fei Hung series!"

Xiao Ran's speech was very brief, and after winning the award, he left the podium and returned to his place, waiting for the announcement of the best film.

Next, Fang Dahai stood up and said: "Okay, in the end, we only have one finale award left, that is, our best film, and it is also the best film selected by all of us who love movies in countless movies last year, one vote by one, now let's take a look at our list of nominees." ”

"The nominees for Best Film at the 30th Chinese Film Golden Dragon Awards are: "Wong Fei Hung" Shaw Film Company...... "Dear Child" Encyclopedia Film Company...... "New Love" Shaw Film Company...... "Mr. Zombie" Zhengying Film Company...... "Nanhai Thirteen Lang" Shaw Film Company ......"

Compared with last year's situation, this year's Golden Dragon Award nominations have changed a lot.

The Mr. Zombie series was nominated, and Zhengying Pictures was nominated for Best Picture for the first time, while Encyclopedia Pictures still relied on director Victor Lee's professionalism and keen eye to win the nomination for a groundbreaking real-life film.

And last year's Struggle Film Company, at this time, because Xu Guangwen was poached, Yuan Baye semi-retired, Chen Guoxin's literary film hit the street at the box office, and he couldn't get investment, and the Three Musketeers of Struggle had already split up, and Struggle Film Company had already existed in name only.

As for the other Wenxuan film companies that were nominated last year, because their boss Xie Wenxuan invested in Xiao Ran's team, they have long been disbanded, and Xie Wenxuan and Xiao Ran's "Thirteen Langs of the South Sea" still got a nomination, proving that this movie is a classic!

In the end, the Xingyi City Film Company, which was originally established by Xiao Ran last year, because Xiao Ran only accounted for 40% of the box office of the film, so starting this year, the original agreement of five movies per year has become a lie.

At that time, in order to attract investment, Xiao Ran made this agreement, and as Xiao Ran's development became faster and faster, after gradually breaking away from Lu Yuesheng's control, he was no longer ready to fulfill yesterday's agreement, this is the unspoken rule of the business society, no one will really make a promise, especially in the face of huge interests!

Xiao Ran now relies on the initial investment of Yida Group to complete the cultivation of his entire team in the film industry and his own fame, and now he has already grown in wings, so it is naturally impossible to give in to Yida Group, and the cooperation between the two sides is only the cooperation between the film company and the cinema company, and Xiao Ran's three film companies are no longer the satellite companies of Yida Cinema Company......

PS: Seeing this, some readers should understand why Xiao Ran was willing to initially set up Xingyi City Film Company, as long as the four parts of the film profits were made, because he was accumulating capital at that time, so for Yida's full support and investment, he had to make compromises, and as said in the chapter, when there are enough chips in his hand, the so-called promise is an empty word...... (To be continued......)
