The two nominees for the new director of Xiao Ran's team have always been filming TV series, although it is the first time to make a film and have been nominated, it does not mean that their experience is shallow, and even the other three nominees are the same!

Although each nominee is nominated for the first time, basically the least of them have been in the film and television industry for more than three years!

So in other words, everyone is eligible and has the opportunity to win a prize!

Take Xu Fei as an example, his first movie is actually a set of animated films, using the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" serialized on Xiao Ran's comic website, but the probability of winning awards for this type of movie is relatively low, so Xu Fei is also the least optimistic!

And Du Xinyu's previous fame was already quite high, especially in the TV circle, the box office of the martial arts dramas "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Liancheng Jue" that he filmed two martial arts novels written by Xiao Ran were quite good, which is why Xiao Ran would pay to support him to shoot this high-martial arts movie "Demon God", which is somewhat similar to the style of "Storm and Cloud Dominating the World".

"Demon God" is an unconventional movie, the protagonist of the movie is no longer a human, but a monster, and the mainstream of the movie is still the superhero model, but this time it is no longer Spider-Man and Batman who save the earth and save mankind, but monsters!

Since ancient times, monsters have represented evil in the traditional thinking of Chinese people, but Du Xinyu has done the opposite, with an investment of 60 million yuan to shoot a rescue movie with monsters as the protagonist, the entire script is his own work, and it was released for 41 days in July last year, with a cumulative box office of more than 400 million. It is the highest-grossing film among the nominees for new directors.

As for the other three nominated films, "The Supreme Gambling King" can be seen very clearly. In fact, it is the movie of the "God of Gamblers" and "Saint of Gambling" series that follow the trend, but it is okay to shoot. So it won a box office of more than 270 million, and director Yu Shan was also nominated for Best New Director.

and "Century City" is even more obvious, in fact, it is the movie version of "Genesis", which is still about stocks and real estate, and the reason why some investors are willing to invest in this new director Zhang Zhiping is mainly because he saw the impulsive move of Huanyi Film Company to shoot Xiao Ran's "Death Gold" and finally sell at the box office!

Why is it an impulsive move, because in order to become famous, Zhang Zhiping can be said to be regardless of the cost when filming, blindly pursuing big scenes and big casts, and invited many actors from Shaw Entertainment Company alone. For example, Lei Xiaolong, Wen Zilun, Xu Zhenxiong, Su Min, Hai Mimi, Zhang Yaoyang, etc. all starred in this movie!

In the end, 120 million was invested, but the box office obtained after the filming was completed barely exceeded 200 million, and after deducting the share with the theater company, it was basically barely recouped with the cost, and because the actors invited in it had no appeal in the foreign film market, the foreign box office market could basically be ignored, and such a nomination was not too flattering in the foreign film market, which is also one of the reasons why Xiao Ran himself did not make commercial war movies!

As long as you are not blind, you can see that the movie and the title are all the highest-grossing movies "The True Colors of Heroes", because the audience is more interested in this type of Jianghu movie, so this movie is a typical small and big work. With a total investment of more than 38 million, the box office received 230 million, and it also took advantage of the east wind of "The True Color of Heroes" and was nominated for Best New Director. It's a lot of money......

"The winner of the Best New Director of the Chinese Film Golden Dragon Award is Du Xinyu of "Demon God"!"

Among the five nominees, three are TV drama directors, and among these three people. At present, Du Xinyu is the most famous, and many filmmakers now know that Du Xinyu is actually Li Shengtian's apprentice. is also a new director talent that Xiao Ran relies on very much, so many people naturally chose to vote for Du Xinyu!

And then there's actually such a thing as voting. If there is no shady scene and no votes, after seeing the nominee, if the five people are not very acquainted, or if the five movies are not on the same page, then they will choose a movie they have watched, or choose the person they have heard!

So it can be seen that the so-called best new director, sometimes the competition is also popularity and popularity!

Du Xinyu is the first time to win an award in film, so he was also very excited as soon as he came on stage: "I am fortunate to be able to win this award, I must first thank Mr. Li Shengtian, when I was a screenwriter by his side, it was Director Li who told me that I can actually have more development, and he has always given me opportunities, and later introduced me to join Shaw Entertainment, Mr. Xiao Ran also gave me a lot of opportunities, which is the second noble person on the road of my life, So in the coming days, I hope to have the opportunity to make more blockbuster films and repay this noble man of mine! ”

What Du Xinyu said is very direct and realistic, but it is exactly like this, but it shows that he is not a hypocritical person, in fact, as he said, if you want to repay Xiao Ran, the person who gave him a chance, then shooting more profitable movies is the best opportunity to return, and Xiao Ran's support for him to take the position is not to ask him to use his own money to spoil it!

The next two awards are considered by many people to be in the pocket of Xiao Ran's team, because the next awards are the best action director and the best screenwriter, these two awards needless to say, the best screenwriter has always been Xiao Ran's take, as for the best action director, it is basically taken by people under Xiao Ran's team!

This time, the two awards were presented to the former action superstar Situ Liang and Miao Cuilan, who is known as a ghost screenwriter!

Both of them are senior filmmakers who were nominated for Best New Director last year, Situ Liang was already a well-known action director thirty years ago, from the age of eighteen to forty-eight years old, and finally after he couldn't move, he was ready to go behind the scenes, and became the director of kung fu movies, Xiao Ran also watched "The Twelve Ghosts of Jinling" filmed last year, which is a good kung fu movie!

As for Miao Cuilan, she was also the nominee for last year's new director, but she has been writing the script for fifteen years, and she has had the idea of being a director since a few years ago, so she has always tried to use the script she wrote to attract investment, but the results are ridiculous, because her screenwriting ability is outstanding, and she is known as a female ghost screenwriter!

So the script written by Miao Cuilan is not difficult to sell, there are many people who want to buy her script, but no one is willing to invest in her to make a movie, and when kung fu movies were popular two years ago, Miao Cuilan wrote a script for "Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Figures", and insisted that she had to be the director herself to sell the script, so in the end, her insistence finally attracted investment!
