China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 251 Best Director

Although the two films "Signal" and "Source Code" have received more nominations, they are actually at a disadvantage when it comes to competing for heavyweight awards, especially Best Director and Best Picture, especially if you think about it based on the principle of dividing the pork.

The more nominations you have, the more technical awards you win, and the farther away you will be from diamond awards like Best Director and Best Picture. Considering Chen Jingxing’s age, he is only 23 years old, can you give him the Best Director?

That might directly create history.

The conduct of the awards night also proved this.

In terms of technical awards, DreamWorks gained a lot. "Source Code" won the best editing and best photography, and "The Signal" won the best sound recording and best art.

The main reason is that the "retro" of the northeastern industrial city in the 1990s in "Signal" is really good. Of course, retro is not a completely realistic retro. Art transcends reality, and aesthetics is very important.

Although technical awards are not taken seriously by the media and the public, they are very important to directors like Chen Jingxing and the boss of a film company. This indicates that the current team of DreamWorks has indeed been tempered.

Winning awards does not mean that these people are at the top level in the industry. The quality of the film itself is the basis of everything. If you make a bad film, it will be useless even if you use the editing and camera techniques to your advantage.

But the honor, and the highest honor in domestic films, is a staged affirmation and can create a virtuous cycle, which is of great significance for continuing to hone in on upgrading technology and even attracting more talents.

In addition to directors, producers, screenwriters and actors, these unknown behind-the-scenes personnel are also the heritage of a film company. These technical awards are accumulating the heritage of DreamWorks.

The best screenplay was also won by Chen Jingxing, and the winner was "The Signal". It seems that the judges did have a preference for "The Signal".

"Chen Jingxing writes another legend! Harvest both box office and awards!"

Then two great Chinese directors staged a grand reconciliation on stage? Or was it a unilateral slap in the face by Chen Jingxing?

He likes the latter.

For ordinary people, especially non-movie fans, they don't care much about the distinction between commercial films and literary films. In their minds, it is natural for good-looking films to win awards.

Lei Jiayin was very excited. Although he was already a favorite for this award beforehand and had definitely prepared his acceptance speech, the weight of the Golden Rooster Award in his mind was still somewhat beyond his expectation.

, the difference between imaginary winning and real winning is indeed very big.

Although "Signal" and "Source Code" are two movies, they are both Chen Jingxing's movies. It is impossible for the jury not to take this into consideration. Lei Jiayin's impact on the supporting actor and Hu Ge's impact on the leading actor are beneficial to both of them.

Choice, and Lei Jiayin has a better chance of winning.

It should be said that Golden Rooster has always valued the main theme, and the most outstanding thing about "Signal" is that it is a story of mutual redemption between father and son in a novel science fiction setting. The father is a meritorious firefighter and the son is a criminal policeman. In addition, for the family

The emphasis on value is undoubtedly a subject that is very pleasing to the judges.

Chen Jingxing just felt a little speechless as the camera kept pointing at him, as if he was the sixth nominee for Best Actor.

"Making history! The best director is only 23 years old!"

The Best Actor was awarded to Chen Jianbin in the literary film "A Spoon". Although there was no controversy from the results, Hu Ge still felt uncomfortable. The moment the results came out, the camera showed Hu Ge who was forcing a smile...

...and spent a long time with Chen Jingxing, who looked calm.

The easiest way for people to obtain happiness is to compare.

He could only complain in his heart about the Golden Rooster Award's cowardly mentality of not daring to do things openly and only doing things secretly.

Because this is definitely a courageous decision. Although people complain about the importance of qualifications in awards, in everyone's mind, qualifications still have weight.

Chen Jingxing showed a calm smile when the camera turned to him.

However, the popularity of "Source Code" is here, and DreamWorks is also doing its best to market it. The media and marketing accounts are keen to focus on Hu Ge in the competition for the Best Actor. Coupled with the momentum created by Hu Ge's fans, over time, this

It gave Hu Ge, who might not have had many ideas originally, some lucky ideas.

Lei Jiayin smiled sheepishly and said seriously: "I am not satisfied because I am an excellent actor." After saying that, he put the trophy in his arms: "This is a family heirloom, you can't give it away... sell it.

No way either."

Doesn’t the time of the sage come too soon?

"How about you give me the trophy, and I'll find someone to cut off the name on it and carve it into my name." Luo Chen complained in a more plaintive tone.

No matter what, the Best Director award is indeed a milestone for Chen Jingxing. At least with this title, he basically has no shortcomings. The recognition of the award cannot be replaced by the box office.

The most explosive news after the Night of the Golden Rooster is naturally Chen Jingxing's Best Director and Best Feature Film awards for "Source Code".

The most uncomfortable thing in the world is to give people hope and then be disappointed.

After Lei Jiayin won the award, DreamWorks stopped winning awards.

In fact, the casting of Lei Jiayin as the lead actor was not only the opinion of DreamWorks' publicity and distribution department, but also the consent of Lei Jiayin. If the lead role was cast, he and Hu Ge would be shortlisted for Best Actor together.

"The 30th China Golden Rooster Award for Best Director Award is awarded to..." Presenter Zhang Yimou swept across the audience and shouted: "Chen Jingxing! "The Signal"."

I took the stage for a long time and forgot the acceptance speech I had memorized. Fortunately, Lei Jiayin is an actor with quick wit and sense of humor. He made everyone and the audience in front of the TV laugh with his self-mockery.

""Source Code" became the best feature film at the Golden Rooster, "The Signal" won the best director, and Chen Jingxing dominated the Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony!"

DreamWorks failed to win the Best Actor Award for two consecutive years. Chen Jingxing is not disappointed. It is not easy for Mesozoic or young actors to win the Golden Rooster Award. The average quality of domestic movies may not be strong, but the level of veteran actors is very strong.

, even if the quality of the shortlisted films is average, it will not affect the intensity of competition for the best actor.

However, the most high-profile Best Actor competition cost DreamWorks a heavyweight award.

However, netizens still cannot suppress their shock at the fact that Chen Jingxing really made history and became the youngest Golden Rooster Best Director.

Chen Jingxing, who had just been secretly laughing at Lei Jiayin and Hu Ge for being unable to calm down, found that he had also underestimated the Golden Rooster Award, especially the director's recent importance in his heart.

Chen Jingxing, whose thoughts began to uncontrollably wander, found that he was a little nervous and his calves were trembling.

Neither the supporting actress nor the heroine has anything to do with DreamWorks. The female character with the most roles in the two films is actually Wan Qian, but there is indeed not much room for performance. Compared to other shortlisted films, none of them were nominated.

In addition to "Signal" being in line with Golden Rooster's taste, it definitely helped that Lei Jiayin signed up for a supporting role as a male lead role. The other supporting actor nominees did have much fewer roles than Lei Jiayin.

After all, according to his future career plan, it is basically impossible to win the top three awards in Europe. The Golden Rooster Award is already the highest director award he can win and may not be able to break through in his lifetime.

There is a kind of best director award guest named Wang Molin!

Then the Best Director award goes to him!

Not only did he immediately embrace Chen Jingxing and the other creators of "Signal", but because of Chen Jingxing, the creators of "Signal" and "Source Code" were sitting in a pile. Lei Jiayin, who was overly excited, continued to write "Source Code"

》The main creators hugged each other one by one, and Wan Qian didn't react until after hugging her, which made the surrounding celebrities couldn't help but laugh.

"The youngest Best Director in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards is born!"

The supporting actor role was also won by Lei Jiayin, who played the father role in "Signal".

"Hey, can't I keep pretending to be as handsome as a chrysanthemum? Calm down!"

Lei Jiayin, who came back after delivering his speech, had just finished his work. He looked at the name engraved on the golden rooster in his hand and sighed slightly, with a somewhat sad tone: "If I applied for the leading role, maybe it would be the best actor trophy...

"

"Chen Jingxing wins the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director!"

Chen Jingxing and Luo Chen next to him were speechless for a moment. They were still Xiao Tiantian just now. They were so excited that they forgot all their words. Now they are calm and become Mrs. Niu?

In fact, during the live broadcast of the Golden Rooster Awards, countless netizens and fans of Chen Jingxing were already flooding the forums.

Although no one has any doubts about Chen Jingxing's qualifications to win the best director, the general public's appreciation of movies is actually more commercial. The audience reputation of both "Signal" and "Source Code" is at the top level.

It also has scores of 8.5 or above on popular rating websites like Douban.

The reason is of course that the guest who presented the leading actor award was Wang Molin.

Hu Ge couldn't hide his disappointment. Luo Chen, who failed to compete for Hundred Flowers Best Actor last year, felt better. The sour feeling when he saw the golden rooster in Lei Jiayin's hand had faded a lot. Of course, he still patted Hu Ge on the surface.

Shoulder to show comfort, and show your face in the camera.

Objectively speaking, as the leading actor in "Source Code", Hu Ge is actually not the most popular candidate for the actor. "Source Code" is a very commercial film, and it does not even have the extended meaning of family values ​​in "Signal".

.

Hu Ge's performance is indeed exciting enough, but it is far from standing out from the crowd. Compared with other nominees, it is not even in the top two. Although the quality and ratings of other shortlisted films are not as good as "Source Code", their acting skills are sometimes inferior to those of the movie.

Quality is not closely related.

"DreamWorks Night! Eight awards won!"

Of course, in addition to the great gift of Best Director, Chen Jingxing was surprised to be awarded Best Feature Film to "Source Code".

It's not that "Source Code" is not a good movie, but it is too commercial. It should be "Source Code"'s outstanding overseas box office results that add luster to the movie.

It seems that the rumor that "Source Code" will be selected as the "Olympic" movie is really credible. The Chinese movies that have made splash in the past year basically have no chance of winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The taste of the Oscar may be different from that of Europe.

The three major awards are still considered commercial, but compared with domestic film awards, they are actually quite artistic.

Anyway, there is no hope even if you choose a literary film, so you might as well choose a science fiction commercial film with a good reputation at home and abroad.
