China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 250 See the truth in your hands

The biennial Golden Rooster Awards opened in Chuncheng, Jilin. It can be said that it is a star-studded event. Although the average level of the shortlisted films is not much improved compared to the Hundred Flowers Awards a year ago, last year there was "The Grandmaster".

"This is a sweeping art blockbuster, but in terms of the red carpet lineup, Golden Rooster is almost an upgrade compared to Baihua.

Not only the shortlisted film casts walked on the red carpet, but also the big names in the entertainment industry who had not been shortlisted for their works were also invited to appear. In addition to the award guests, there were also invitations for brand sponsorship. It can be said that most of the entertainment industry has names, surnames and traffic.

Everyone can come and walk on the Golden Rooster Red Carpet.

It can also be seen from this that although Golden Rooster has mixed reviews in public opinion, its status in the minds of the media and netizens is indeed extraordinary.

"Director Chen, you have two films shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award. Why didn't you bring the main creative staff on the red carpet with you?"

Chen Jingxing, wearing a suit and dress, came to the interview area single-handedly, waving and answering the host's questions.

"I'm afraid they'll say I'm partial." Chen Jingxing joked: "'Source Code' and 'Signal' are both my children, and I don't have the ability to clone myself, so I can only settle for the same thing!"

"Source Code" and "Signal" are the two films that have been nominated for the most awards at tonight's awards ceremony. As usual, the films shortlisted for the awards are all made by the main creative staff to walk on the red carpet. Chen Jingxing does not have the ability to double up, and he follows a crew

After walking, it would be too silly to go back and find another crew to walk through again.

So I can only appear on the red carpet alone, but my momentum is not inferior to other red carpet combinations. As the most star-like person among the directors, Chen Jingxing is also the spokesperson of Brioni, known as the king of customized menswear.

, since I signed the endorsement contract at the beginning of the year, I have never actually worn this company’s custom-made suits and dresses on major occasions.

As the saying goes, a man is judged by his clothes. After putting on a suit that is well-cut and contains rich fashion elements, Chen Jingxing's style is not inferior to that of any top male star.

Otherwise, if you don’t have a label on you, how can you get the resources of this circle in the first place?

"Wait next week, the ratings of "Signal" will break four, right? Sister Li, Brother Chao, you are trying to dominate the screen, and are you going to let people live?"

"Why do I feel after watching episode 16 that you are not a lubricant, but a third party?"

Coupled with the unique one-man red carpet show in the Golden Rooster opening ceremony, it can be said to be quite eye-catching. Although he does not have the temperament of a domineering president, he cannot stop the atmosphere and the imagination of the media reporters and the crowd.

The length of the red carpet show lasts at least one and a half hours, so the celebrities who have finished the red carpet all gather together in twos and threes to say hello and chat.

Unlike the stars who attract the most attention in the spotlight, behind the scenes, well-known directors and producers or other stars who have the financial investment and resources to establish projects are the core of the circle.

"Okay, it's not your turn, Director Chen has the most say. Director Chen, which one do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

"Brother Lei, modesty makes people fall behind, but "Signal" is stronger..."

It's just that Wang Molin publicly criticized Chen Jingxing's "new kung fu movie" argument. The celebrities present naturally knew that it is relatively rare for two great directors to have a public disagreement.

"It's just good luck. The actors are the icing on the cake. The main thing is that Director Chen's script is good. No matter who plays it, it will be good..."

And Chen Jingxing quickly became the core of a circle. Sun Li, Deng Chao, Luo Chen, Lei Jiayin, Wan Qian, Hu Ge, Zhang Ruoyun, Zhao Liying, etc. have worked with Chen Jingxing or worked with DreamWorks.

The actors came over to say hello to Chen Jingxing one after another, and gathered together to talk about interesting things in the industry.

For example, in large or small circles such as Beijing Film Circle, Tianrun Film Industry, Jianghe Film Industry, etc., many stars and actors basically have such labels behind them. Of course, there are also big ones who travel in various circles and can obtain resources in each circle.

Man, there are not many actors like this. Only those at the first-tier level can have such transcendent qualifications.

"..." Why did he suddenly get angry? Chen Jingxing is also a master of poisonous milk: "There are five films shortlisted for the best feature film. I think "Signal" and "Source Code" are both a little bit behind..."

"It would be great if you can play one "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in your lifetime. Sister Li, if you keep doing one after another, I think you will win two more trophies for Feitian and Magnolia next year."

It’s not that these two circles are the largest and have the most people. In terms of numbers, the Beijing film industry is still the big brother in the entertainment industry.

As more and more actors walk on the red carpet, other circles besides Chen Jingxing are slowly taking shape.

"...Liying, Director Tian loves to polish the lens and polish the light when filming. He has a bit of a perfectionist personality. Filming is a bit hard and time-consuming. I almost couldn't hold back my emotions several times before, but wait until you see

When you get to the final shot, you will know that everything is worth it. Just get used to it. Good scripts and good teams are hard to come by these days..."

DreamWorks has obviously entered this level and has become one of many circles. Although DreamWorks does not have artist management contracts, it does not prevent stars from actively approaching it and labeling themselves.

"No, no, I still have more hope for "Source Code"..."

"Don't sow discord. Brother Chao is the male lead and Sister Li is the female lead. I am just a tool, the lubricant in the relationship between Officer Li and Captain He that spans twenty years..."

Titles such as "Chen Jingxing appeared alone on the red carpet and responded to doubts domineeringly", "The king arrives at the Golden Rooster Red Carpet", "Although he is alone, his works have swept the Golden Rooster", "The most handsome director makes a stunning appearance on the red carpet", etc. have been on the minds of reporters.

It took shape in my mind.

"That's true, sometimes we don't want to cheat on the movie. It's hard to refuse some requests from the company and the brand. That's the advantage of filming a DreamWorks movie. Everyone knows that Director Chen hates actors cheating on the movie, and the company also knows that.

It’s appropriate.”

Behind these circles also represent the current distribution of power in China's film and television industry, which are all vaguely backed by a certain large company.

"Don't force me to make a big move. Who do you think will be the best feature film today? I think "Signal" is better than "Source Code"..."

As the opening guest on the red carpet of this year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, Chen Jingxing not only received the most attention, but also got into the stadium early.

"...Ruoyun, you can be the leading actor. How do you feel about having Brother Chao and Sister Li play the role for you?"

The two most conspicuous circles in the field are the DreamWorks group with Chen Jingxing as the core and the Tianrun group with Wang Molin as the core.

"It's okay. In fact, apart from being a little tired from filming, I feel more relaxed. It's been the cleanest time since I started filming. There are no other activities except filming. The company doesn't urge me to arrange other commercial performances. Last time there was a brand

Fang called me several times to ask me to take time to participate in promotional activities, but my agent said that I was filming a DreamWorks movie, so he stopped urging me..."

Although Chen Jingxing did not respond, at this moment everyone felt that he had a slight upper hand.

The main reason is that Chen Jingxing brought his works to compete for the award, and it was two movies, while Wang Molin only attended in the name of the awarding guest despite his high status.

This will give people the feeling that I will not argue with words, but we will see the truth behind the scenes.

If DreamWorks can really win a big victory this time, especially if it wins the Best Picture and Best Director, considering Chen Jingxing's age, this will be of great significance.
