China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 480

On September 23, in the room next to the theater where the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was being held, Chen Jingxing did not stay in the auditorium, but was discussing something with several heavyweights.

Just three people, Chen Jingxing, retired former National Film Chairman Qin Zhonghe, and Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the Film Bureau.

The topic is the film project "Once Upon a Time on Earth" that Chen Jingxing has been concerned about.

"Zhang Ju, what does the leader mean... that there is no chance?"

Chen Jingxing raised his eyebrows, savoring the speech delivered by Director Zhang from a higher-level leader.

"Instead of simply reproducing the scars of the nation..."

The unavoidable thing in "The Three-Body Problem" is the soul character of the whole story - Ye Wenjie.

This impressive "rape" in science fiction works is undoubtedly the origin of the entire earth's past.

Ye Wenjie clearly realized the evil of human beings, and was extremely disappointed with human nature. She received and responded to the messages from the Trisolaran people, thus starting the magnificent story that followed.

All of this left indelible pain and despair in her heart, not to mention the fact that her sister exposed her father, and her mother criticized and blamed her father mercilessly in order to protect herself, regardless of the relationship between husband and wife.

Luochen's crow's mouth came true.

Later, the best feature film was also included in the bag for "District 9".

There is no doubt that this plot is very important and lays the foundation for the arc of Ye Wenjie, the mother of ETO.

One is the display and shaping of a complete character arc.

But if it is shaped like this, Ye Wenjie's character arc will not be so shocking, the character will be flatter, and it will also conflict with the second-generation leader of ETO, Evans.

At this moment when appearance can increase exposure, the organizing committee also arranged the starring actors of "The Martian" and "Inception" into an area at the request of DreamWorks, with Chen Jing as the center.

After he returned to his seat, after Wu Yue's gentle reminder, Chen Jingxing learned that "Kung Fu Panda" had won the Best Art Film, allowing DreamWorks to win this award again.

"Haha, look how scared you are." Director Zhang patted Chen Jingxing on the shoulder: "The leader is supportive."

And now he is required to provide a complete script, which is enough to prove that this project is indeed quite special.

Therefore, although the Golden Horse Awards are still the most authoritative and fair awards in the Chinese film industry in the eyes of many literary and artistic young people, ordinary audiences rarely watch literary and artistic films.

So far, many Chinese people's impression of the Oscars is still at the moment when awards were awarded to commercial blockbusters like "Titanic".

In this context, only the Golden Horse Awards, which are open to all Chinese-language films, can compete with the Golden Rooster Awards.

After the Best Actor lived up to expectations and fell to Zhang Yi, the Best Screenplay was won by an art film, and the Best Director was won by Tian Xinye for "District 9". DreamWorks gave birth to its second Golden Rooster Award for Best Director.

, also shattered Chen Jingxing’s dream of winning Golden Rooster Best Director.

"Are you jealous that you won't be able to win the Best Actor and will be left empty-handed?"

Lei Jiayin asked excitedly. Although according to convention, it is not easy to actively seek roles in Chen Jingxing's projects, now this opportunity is very suitable for discussion.

One is to avoid the plot of that special era and switch to an environmental plot.

In addition to nominated films such as "Spike II", "The Martian", "Operation Red Sea", "Kung Fu Panda" and "District 9", the main creative staff of "Inception" also teamed up to visit

The red carpet attracts countless attention, even more beautiful than the nominated works.

And if it’s done well, it won’t even be too shocking to the readers as the plot of the original novel.

"You're jealous of me, aren't you?"

What Zhang Hongsen means is that the opinion of the higher-level leader obviously does not support "a simple reproduction of the scars of the nation."

Lei Jiayin turned the topic to the space trilogy again: "Director Chen, when will the last part of the space trilogy be filmed?"

Chen Jingxing nodded. According to the current review requirements, there is no need for the competent department to review the script. You only need to submit a plot summary of one or two thousand words. If there are no issues of principle, just file it with the Film Bureau. The initial review by the Film Bureau will be the review.

piece.

"Director, what are we talking about?"

Moreover, at that time, the influence of environmentalism in China was not high. To portray a pure and extreme environmentalist warrior would cause dissonance among domestic audiences.

Zhou Dongyu was a little surprised: "Once Upon a Time on Earth is not a TV series?"

Because Hong Kong Island films are getting weaker and weaker, and the Academy Awards are limited by geographical restrictions and only allow Hong Kong Island films, at least films with the participation of Hong Kong Island film companies, to participate, so their influence is gradually declining.

In the script for the movie version of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", Chen Jingxing made a lot of changes to Ye Wenjie's story line, including making Ye Wenjie's physicist father commit suicide at home by taking medicine.

Lei Jiayin came over and asked softly. Luo Chen and others sitting on the other side of Chen Jingxing also pricked up their ears.

A very paradoxical fact is that although film awards usually emphasize artistry, commercial films are the key to shaping the influence of film awards.

Chen Jingxing couldn't control his surprise. He looked at Qin Zhonghe and asked, "Really?"

Therefore, Ye Wenjie's disappointment with mankind includes environmental factors.

Of course they all saw Chen Jingxing, Qin Zhonghe and the leaders of the film bureau quietly leave their seats.

Chen Jingxing's films have always tried to avoid direct violence, gore, and cruelty. "Fatal Identity" does not include any frontal murder scenes, and it is not a blood-soaked film. Sometimes the direct visual impact is not as good as the side effects.

, or the creation of an atmosphere.

"Space Part III?"

After the few people chatted for a while, Chen Jingxing, who was relieved, quietly returned to the auditorium of the award ceremony.

Chen Jingxing could feel the actors around him looking at him collectively.

Before Chen Jingxing could reply, Luo Chen replied: "You are so greedy, Brother Lei."

"How can this be called insatiable? Sister Yue and I are both male and female protagonists in "The Center of the Earth" and "Mars". The trilogy must not talk about inheritance, isn't it Director Chen?"

In fact, as a film that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, the brilliant harvest of "District 9" did not exceed everyone's expectations. In fact, it would have been a surprise if "District 9" had not won these heavyweight awards.

Strange.

This result already made him overjoyed, and it was not in vain that he and the screenwriting team worked hard to revise the script.

Chen Jingxing could only suppress his smile, and patted Lei Jiayin with some sadness and heavy heart, who could not hide his disappointment even though he was well prepared.

Chen Jingxing showed a decent smile and applauded the winner of the Best Supporting Actress, while saying: "Let's talk about the movie script, we encountered some trouble in the review."

"The Martian" won the best sound recording, and "District 9" won the best cinematography. The three trophies have been collected by DreamWorks.

Lei Jiayin's performance in "The Martian" is not bad, but his luck is a bit bad. He met Zhang Yi from "District 9" and won the Cannes Best Actor from him. Even Lei Jiayin himself was disappointed with this year's film.

There is actually not much hope for the Golden Rooster Award.

DreamWorks’ lineup for the Golden Rooster Awards this time is still very strong.

It describes the excessive use of chemicals and fertilizers that lead to environmental pollution, ecological destruction, and ultimately bring overwhelming disaster to mankind.

After all, the Golden Rooster Award is the most watched and top film award in China, so the promotion of "Inception" will naturally not miss this opportunity.

Therefore, in the field of public opinion, the Golden Rooster Award has undoubtedly surpassed the Golden Horse Award in terms of influence and attention.

Because Ye Wenjie's final turning point was reading the book "Silent Spring", which is the bible of modern environmentalism.

Zhang Hongsen's face was straight: "I support it in principle, but you have to give me the final and complete script as soon as possible, and the leaders will hold a meeting to discuss it."

And Chen Jingxing only needed to glance around him to know that DreamWorks was the biggest winner.

"Didn't Director Chen say before that "Once Upon a Time on Earth" is a science fiction series that has both dramas and movies."

"Pay attention to the camera." Chen Jingxing didn't deliberately conceal it: "It's the movie script of "Once Upon a Time on Earth"."

Several golden rooster trophies are being held on the chests of the smiling winners.

When Chen Jingxing started the "Once Upon a Time on Earth" project, he made two preparations.

People like to watch good-looking commercial blockbusters and big stars competing for awards, and so do sponsors and the media.

The authority and influence of the Golden Horse Award in public opinion is even greater than that of the Golden Rooster Award.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Golden Rooster Awards have been reviewed every two years in the past two years. However, starting from 2017, the Golden Rooster Awards have been changed to be held once a year.

The Oscar's greatest influence in China was at the turn of the century. World-renowned commercial blockbusters such as "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings" gilded the Oscar with a layer of gold foil.

"The Space Trilogy and the "Matrix" trilogy are not the same thing. Your face is tired of being shown in the movie, and the audience is probably tired of watching it."

But if you keep it, it will undoubtedly be "exposing a scar."

"It's still too early to start filming..."

With the rise of DreamWorks in recent years, the influence of the Golden Rooster Awards has begun to completely surpass that of the Golden Horse Awards.

Therefore, what Chen Jingxing hopes most is to retain the plot of that special era.

The technical awards have basically been handed out, and the Best Supporting Actress award is now being awarded.

Because every year, high-quality commercial blockbusters participate in the awards.

…

"The winner of the 32nd Best Actor Award is Zhang Yi, "District 9"!"

After all, Universal Pictures is planning to make "District 9" its main film to compete for the Olympics early next year.

After the 2018 Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony ended amid heated discussions on the Internet, the National Day holiday, which had pinned the film bureau leaders' hopes on the film market catching up with North America this year, also arrived.
