China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 358 Chen Jingxing is such a vulgar person

Whether you admire or despise DreamWorks, it is undeniable that there are many filmmakers like Wen Zhian in various parts of the country who are inspired by this first-of-its-kind variety show, or who have movie dreams.

It is true that many people will have concerns about the content released by Fantasy World - doubting whether the program is really as sincere and fair as it says. After all, everyone is an adult.

How much of a reality show is real, how fake, and how much is a performance is something that even the people involved may not be able to explain clearly.

Other talent shows will have shady scenes, but when it comes to the director, the shady scenes will only be even bigger.

But anyway, you won’t lose anything by trying. If you don’t make it to the main competition, you’ll probably accuse Chen Jingxing of being ignorant, or simply being a shady person.

If the bet is really right, wouldn't it be like reaching the sky in one step?

No matter art or business, no matter what ideals and persistence you have, fame and money are necessary. Even Van Gogh has his younger brother who is constantly supporting him. Besides, can painting be done by one person? Can filming be completed by one person?

The enthusiasm for registration really exceeded Chen Jingxing's imagination. A large number of registration information and short films came in like a tide, and the number could even be compared with some well-known film festivals.

Chen Jingxing originally thought that after all, directors and idol auditions were different, and there might not be many people willing to stand on the stage and be the target of being judged and pointed out.

Director-type variety shows in past lives are also invited by the program team. Regardless of their level, they are all famous figures in the entertainment industry. They can be regarded as successful people in the eyes of ordinary people, so they did not sign up for the preliminary election.

link.

Therefore, he didn't know that there were so many grassroots directors and people who dreamed of directing.

In fact, there are still many people who are talented and have movie dreams, whether they are in the majors or in the wild. Although in this era, with the popularization of smartphones and 4G, short videos have begun to conquer the city, but they have not yet shown their prowess and become the mainstream of the general public.

A black hole of time in the palm of your hand.

It's just that art works seem really laborious, and sometimes you have to read them over and over again, or even pull out the clips to read them, which is really tiring. As the boss, I have the right not to invalidate them after they expire.

This is a creative short film with split-screen + "shunpo" editing. It focuses on editing techniques and action connections. The transitions are smooth and very creative. I have to say that Chen Jingxing, a layman, likes this kind of short film.

But in fact, it is very difficult for foreign films to be nominated and compete. Either they have achieved high box office results in North America and are extremely famous, or they have to be supported by major companies.

In a sense, we are all successful and famous bosses, and we cannot just stay in the office and watch short films all day.

The normal distribution is a rule that holds true in any industry, and mediocrity always belongs to the majority.

Does he need the embellishment of these awards? Not necessarily.

Therefore, we still captured the best people from within the company and formed a preliminary review team to filter the registered videos. Although the employees of DreamWorks may not be people with high artistic aesthetics, as practitioners in the film and television industry, distinguishing between

You may not know the true nature of your own work, and you may not be able to distinguish whether other people's works are bad or have no problems.

Universal may be apologizing, or it may be out of compensation for DreamWorks, so it wants to receive awards as compensation, and "Gravity" does have good favorable conditions.

"Oscar?"

Only with a good script and high-level light, shadow and lens language can we create a good film that pays equal attention to business and art.

Tian Xinye was quite dissatisfied with Chen Jingxing's sudden arrest of him as a young man to be a judge of a variety show. He sighed quietly: "There is a difference between being famous and making a fool of yourself."

Needless to say, the top three in Europe, I am afraid that he will never be able to meet him in this life. In terms of fame, the more commercial Oscars or Golden Globes are the only top awards in the world that he can get involved in.

However, "Gravity" and "The Matrix" meet all three criteria.

Chen Jingxing is said by movie fans to be a rainbow-sounding actor who "can rely on his looks but his talent".

Ning Weiqiang is a little older, has an elegant temperament, and is also top-notch among directors.

In fact, as a world-class director, his only shortcoming now is awards. Who doesn't want to be perfect?

Even though those present here are all successful and experienced directors, they were all shocked by these words.

Chen Jingxing and Guo Fan each raised a question.

What's more, most of these registered videos are actually garbage, or close to garbage.

Faced with Tian Xinye's resentment, Chen Jingxing and Guo Fan, as the appearance team, could only laugh and remain silent.

And if we are willing to put more effort into public relations, we may also be nominated for Best Director and Best Picture! Universal will fully support us."

But the domestic awards are indeed lacking in terms of hardness and reputation. The Golden Horse on the other side has a stronger reputation in terms of art, but it is too artistic. Even if his film wins, it will only win a technical award at most. He has not put himself in the spotlight.

The idea of ​​​​carrying a sedan chair to the other party in the movie is not worthy of the golden horse.

"Then choose the author of this short film? How many are there in total? Are there twenty?" Tian Xinye couldn't wait to beat the snake and follow the stick, echoing Chen Jingxing, just like a migrant worker rushing to get off work.

"Huh, of course you two are not afraid anymore." Tian Xinye looked at Guo Fan, Chen Jingxing, and even the thin-faced Ning Weiqiang, feeling sad.

Even Chen Jingxing, who initially watched several short films out of curiosity and excitement, felt that he was wasting his time.

In addition to vanity, it can also bring him a kind of status affirmation. Although the final decision in this life will definitely be a commercial film director, he will not refuse it if his artistic achievements can add some points.

Theoretically, any film that has been released in the United States, regardless of whether it is a foreign film, can participate in the Oscar competition-including all awards except foreign language films.

Objectively speaking, Tian Xinye looks like an ordinary person, even worse than ordinary people. He is most afraid of appearing on TV and programs in his life. Although he is a director who can command hundreds of people on the set, he really has stage fright when appearing in variety shows.

"Jeff said that "Gravity" is guaranteed to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Score and Best Director.

Chen Jingxing stopped him in time: "No, no, no, I just mentioned it. In the end, it depends on the situation on your side."

It’s not that Chen Jingxing is really like some people who imagine that wild boars can’t eat fine chaff. Although he has been imitating it, he has made so many films after a long illness and has made a lot of achievements in film practice.

Art also naturally produces understandings that are not superficial.

Of course, Chen Jingxing has no shortage of awards. He has won both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers awards in China. This year's Hundred Flowers Award is for him as Best Director, and the Best Film is "Gravity", which has no suspense.

Therefore, many creators who are aspiring to pursue their film and television dreams do lack opportunities to showcase themselves. This is why the so-called director talent show organized by Chen Jingxing on a whim has made such a big splash.

There are no Hong Kong capital or filmmakers involved in DreamWorks' movies, and the Academy Awards cannot participate, and he doesn't like them either.

The North American box office of "The Matrix" has exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the current global box office has exceeded 750 million US dollars. Of course, the Chinese market accounts for 460 million US dollars. The box office exceeded 3 billion yuan in one month of release. Although the key was delayed for one month,

But there is basically no box office set, and it is impossible to surpass the 3.4 billion box office record of "Gravity".

In this way, the sequel to "The Matrix" is like a golden mountain. It vividly demonstrates that yesterday you were indifferent to me, but tomorrow I will make it impossible for you to climb up.

Do DreamWorks' works also need artistry? Chen Jingxing likes commercial movies, but wouldn't it be better to pay equal attention to business and art?

Otherwise, why make "District 9", make "Black Mirror", what kind of "Aquila Warrior" should be made?

Chen Jingxing had to step out of his leisurely life as a stay-at-home husband who took care of his pregnant wife. He also had to temporarily give up on improving the main storyline of "Inception" and come to the company to work with the other three directors who he attracted.

Work on these submissions together.

Guo Fan also has a Chinese-character face, straight facial features, and belongs to the category of a gentle and handsome uncle. Among directors, his appearance is definitely at the top of the list.

"Golden Globes?"

"The Matrix" is also sure to be nominated for best screenplay."

Filter out the bad ones and there won't be much left.

As the boss, Chen Jingxing divided the works submitted after filtering by the pre-review team into two categories when assigning tasks. The creative and technical works were reviewed by him, and the slightly boring artistic works were assigned to the other three.

director.

Just when Chen Jingxing was immersed in his addiction to judging, a surprising news came.

But wouldn’t it be better to get it?

Although his taste is not too high, or he may not have the talent in this area, his attitude towards submitted works is still very serious. This time "The Birth of a Director" still focuses on art, and he cannot do it just because he likes creative stories and dazzling stories.

His skills turned "The Birth of a Director" into a creative short film competition.

Of course, the four of them are not the only ones dealing with it. Guo Fan also has to prepare for the filming of "Operation Red Sea". Tian Xinye also has the task of "District 9". Although "Suspect Tracking II" is not in a hurry to shoot, Ning Weiqiang himself also has

The studio, and even participated in other TV series produced by Tianrun Pictures, also have things to be busy with.

As a great director with global fame and brilliant box office results, only the top three in Europe or the Oscars can shock him psychologically.

Chen Jingxing also couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

How could Universal let this project go? There was nothing to be ashamed of in the face of huge interests, but Chen Jingxing started to take advantage of Qiao and kept raising conditions on Universal.

Chen Jingxing understood what was going on as soon as he thought about it.

Xu Wen took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued: "The chances of getting an Oscar are even smaller, but there is no problem being nominated for several technical awards, and there is no problem being nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film.

Although many people have doubts or even disdain in their hearts, as the submission deadline approaches, their bodies are honest.

Xu Wen took a deep breath: "Anyway, Universal said that the chances of being shortlisted are very high."

Of course, we must first have the basic elements to be nominated. Even if it is a commercial film, it must be a film with relatively high artistic aspects or connotation.

Only one can be selected for Best Musical/Comedy Film and Best Foreign Language Film, but the Best Foreign Language Film will have a greater chance of winning.

Guo Fan also advised: "It's okay. You are wearing makeup. You won't be embarrassed. Besides, you are a director and not a star. Who will stare at your appearance?"

It turned out that Universal suddenly said that they had communicated with the public relations company and believed that "Gravity" had a chance to win awards, so they contacted DreamWorks to ask if they had any demand.

Only Tian Xinye is dubbed by DreamWorks fans as the least handsome among the Four King Kongs.

Of course he knew that the Oscar was not the holy grail of art, nor was it sacred, but it couldn't stand up to someone's high reputation and status.

"Look what you said, what do you call making a fool of yourself? An interesting soul is the most important, and the audience doesn't just look at the outside but not the inside. Believe me, you might even get a lot of fans." Chen Jingxing

Work hard on your thoughts.

Chen Jingxing suppressed his pounding heart and fell into deep thought thinking about Universal's overture.

"Hey, this video is interesting and quite creative." Chen Jingxing clapped his hands and praised one of the short videos. He once again lamented that the talented people in China's 1.4 billion population are like crucian carp crossing the river. If he didn't have a cheat, I'm afraid he would

They are not worthy enough to carry their shoes. Many people just lack an opportunity.

Moreover, Chen Jingxing thought about the movies he would make in the future, and I am afraid this is the best opportunity.

After "The Matrix" cut off the box office market of "The Mummy", Universal didn't last long before giving in to DreamWorks.

With this responsible mentality, Chen Jingxing still comforted the complaining Tian Xinye: "The times are different from before. It's not enough to just work quietly. Directors also need to be famous."

Even if you can't win the grand prize, it's good to win a few small prizes and get some nominations.

China has a tendency to strive for the Olympics. Even now that the national self-esteem has been greatly improved, this is still the case. If... he can make a breakthrough.

I'm afraid I can stand on the altar. At least when my fans and other netizens debate who is the better director, Chen Jingxing or Ang Lee, I will have more confidence, right?

Chen Jingxing had to admit that he was such a vulgar person.
