China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 242 Sweeping the nominations

"The Film Association was very generous this year." Chen Jingxing looked at the newly released nomination list with some surprise: "I thought that at most one movie could be nominated, but I didn't expect that both "Signal" and "Source Code" would be nominated for the best feature film.

."

Xu Wenshen thought it was normal: "The quality of the movies in the past two years has been average. If they want to share the pork, they have a decent plate to put it on. In previous years, there were still a few watchable works from the past. In the past two years, we have almost become independent.

, aren’t there people on the Internet who say that our DreamWorks is a fig leaf for Chinese movies? Of course, the fig leaf must be taken out to cover up shame. If the fig leaf is hidden, can the exposed one look good?”

Chen Jingxing almost laughed out loud. Xu Wenshen's words sounded unpleasant, but they were not bragging.

Although the expansion of the entire film market in the past two years has been eye-catching, especially in the first three quarters of 2015, the box office record in film history has been broken three times in a row, with three 2 billion-plus movies produced in one year.

Not only has the box office expanded at an alarming rate, but the proportion of domestic films in the box office has also reversed the continuous decline trend in 2013 and 2014. In the first eight months, domestic films accounted for more than 65% of the box office, compared with only 54% in 2014.

However, despite the booming market, the quality of domestic films has been deteriorating.

In terms of reputation, DreamWorks has completely become the face of domestic commercial films. "Fatal Identity", "The Signal" and "Source Code" all scored above 8.5 points, and even "Tang Detective", which has not yet been released, also scored 8.

.

Except for the movies produced by DreamWorks, any other commercial movie that scores more than 6 points is considered to be among the best. The Spring Festival movie, which has become the largest schedule in China, has been called a bad movie for two consecutive years. In terms of reputation alone, Dream Movies are among the best.

The factory has already formed a gap with other large factories.

It can be said that the reputation and ratings of movies in China in the past year are not normally distributed, but a needle inserted into a brick.

It’s no wonder that there are remarks like “DreamWorks is a fig leaf”.

It may also be that the Film Association has really understood the current situation, so in this year's Golden Rooster Award nomination, DreamWorks or Chen Jingxing can be said to be the biggest winner.

"Signal" leads the way with nine nominations, followed by "Source Code" with seven nominations. Although "Source Code" has better box office, word-of-mouth and ratings than "Signal", for the Golden Rooster Award Organizing Committee

, the family narrative and father-son relationship in "Signal" are more flattering than "Source Code" which is closer to the Hollywood blockbuster model.

It can almost be said that Chen Jingxing’s “feat” of sweeping the Golden Rooster nominations naturally triggered intensive reports and discussions, and also pushed himself to the forefront.

The media and marketing accounts quickly announced that the day of this Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony would be titled "DreamWorks Night" and "Chen Jingxing Night", "Chen Jingxing Rules the Golden Rooster", and "Golden Rooster Awards Become the DreamWorks Annual Meeting".

There are many kinds of sensational news.

Even though the overall quality of domestic films in the past was poor, the award-winning taste was too theme-oriented, and there were some show-off practices, the reputation of Golden Rooster is controversial, but no matter how controversial it is, it is still Golden Rooster.

There are a total of five nominations for best feature film, and "The Signal" and "Source Code" account for two.

The awards for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, etc. are all outstanding, and they are all very competitive.

But who doesn’t covet artistic achievement?

Although the Golden Rooster is far from the top three awards in Europe, it is still considered the top in China. If Chen Jingxing can win the Best Director, he will become the youngest award-winning director in the history of the Golden Rooster. This gold content and historical status

, Chen Jingxing himself was very moved.

The Golden Rooster Award is one of the three gold medals, and is also the highest film award in mainland China. Although it is held in rotation with the Hundred Flowers Award, the Hundred Flowers Award is actually a popular voting award, and is actually far less famous and authoritative than the Golden Rooster Award.

Of course, in addition to Chen Jingxing's fans and supporters rushing to tell each other, there are also some vitriolic remarks. The term "DreamWorks Annual Meeting" itself is not a compliment.

His fans are naturally very happy. Originally, Chen Jingxing wanted to have a box office and a good reputation. He also opened the door to Chinese science fiction movies. He is also one of the few directors with the ability to export culture. His only shortcoming is that he is too commercial.

Awards don't work.

As soon as the nomination list came out, the media and netizens were shocked. A director's two works were nominated for the same Golden Rooster Award for Best Film. This has never happened before, let alone "The Signal" and "Source Code" won the same award.

It received sixteen nominations. Except for Best Actress and Supporting Actress, all other major awards were nominated, and they were all very competitive.

The Orlando Gold Award is good, but this film festival is not "artistic" at all. The Hundred Flowers Award only won the best screenplay for "Fatal Identity", which is not something that a director can win.

Although Chen Jingxing's supporters have always downplayed the debate about artistic level and awards, emphasizing that word of mouth is more important than anything else, ratings are the bible, and box office is the highest, they also like to use "who do you think the people like you better" to refute.

Among the acting award nominations, Hu Ge was nominated for Best Actor for "Source Code", and Lei Jiayin was nominated for Supporting Actor for "Signal" - the father role played by Lei Jiayin in "Signal" is actually the male lead, and his role is

Even more than the son played by Luo Chen, it is completely a double male protagonist pattern. However, considering the competition for awards, the method of choosing the lead is adopted. This is logically understandable. In the promotion of the movie, Luo Chen

It is indeed the first level, and Lei Jiayin is the second level.

Therefore, some media and marketing accounts’ exaggerated reports on the “DreamWorks Dominance Golden Rooster Awards” must contain some dark intentions to stir up trouble.

This is also the only thing that holds his fans back in the process of confronting others and "punching nursing homes and kicking kindergartens."

Because this statement originally came from the "Beijing Film Studio Annual Meeting" gag, for various reasons, Beijing Film Studio, one of the five major studios, has always been recognized as having a special influence on the Golden Rooster Awards, and the Golden Rooster Awards did appear in history.

It’s a phenomenon that Beijing films dominate major awards, and these awards are somewhat controversial.

In the past six months, DreamWorks has been enjoying great success in theaters, televisions and online videos. It is considered "top-notch" when it comes to its products. Even its animations can trigger hot topics. It is impossible to say that colleagues and the media are not jealous and bitter towards DreamWorks.

, but unfortunately, the reputation of the work is really good, and it is at the peak of favorability among netizens and passers-by. The east wind is blowing fiercely, and the headwind is hard and black, and it is easy to flash your own tongue, so you can only secretly mess it up.

However, this kind of news report that deliberately relied on the "glorious history" of DreamWorks and Beijing Film Studio to mislead netizens that DreamWorks "manipulated" the selection of the Golden Rooster Awards did not trigger any Internet topics or trends.

It is true that some netizens have been inspired by reports to have a rebellious mentality, accusing DreamWorks of having too many nominations and treating the Golden Rooster Awards as their own annual party. However, Chen Jingxing’s fans and passers-by usually only need to reply, "Do you think "Signal" and "Source Code" have too many nominations?

If you have snatched the shortlist spot of a certain Golden Rooster, then you can end the debate by saying that if a movie comes out and see if it is better than "The Signal" and "Source Code".

I can only say that my peers set me off so well.
