China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

"Director, long time no see?"

Lao Mouzi smiled and shook hands with Chen Jingxing: "Oh, it's been a long time. The last time we met was last year's Golden Rooster Award."

Guoshi's status in the film industry today is no longer as prestigious as it was in the first decade of the 21st century. It still feels good to hear Chen Jingxing call him director.

Once upon a time, "director" was Lao Mouzi's exclusive title. There was no need to add Zhang or a last name before being a director.

Of course, there are still many actors who refer to him as director, especially the juniors, but after all, Chen Jingxing's status is different, and his age will become blurred in front of his achievements. It is impossible for anyone to treat Chen Jingxing with the same attitude as a junior.

What's more, although it was not a place that attracted much attention, it was still at the premiere and in front of his daughter. Although Lao Mouzi heard Chen Jingxing call it this way more than once, it was still very useful every time.

"This is my daughter, Zhang Mo."

Chen Jingxing also smiled and shook hands with the daughter of the National Master: "You don't need to introduce me. I met Director Zhang at last year's Golden Rooster Awards."

After all, this is the most famous second-generation director in China.

Among the several great directors, Arthur is an actor. Feng Xiaogang has also supported his daughter and asked her to edit his own films, but he has not yet made his own film debut.

Art awards are actually very useless in this aspect.

"...As a result, Chinese-language films lose another award. This is actually a loss for the entire film industry. Alas..."

Of course Lao Mouzi also understands this truth. In fact, most filmmakers understand this truth. However, the Golden Horse is indeed a very valuable award. One is willing to win and the other is willing to receive it.

"The Golden Horse Award is indeed the most artistic award among the three gold medals. You also know that I am a professional in science fiction, and the foundation and future development direction of DreamWorks is industrial film, which itself is not in line with the tone and preference of the Golden Horse.

There’s no need to go overboard.”

As a result, the 2014 Golden Horse Awards announced the nomination list but there was no "Fatal Identity", which even caused many mainland netizens to question the Golden Horse Awards for discrimination.

But if we go back to the time, even though "Fatal Identity" surprised many movie fans, in the eyes of most people, if Chen Jingxing could be recognized by the Golden Horse Awards, it would be his honor, not the honor of the Golden Horse Awards.

Although Zhang Yimou failed at the Golden Rooster Awards last year, he only won Best Art and Best Photography, but did not win the grand prize.

It means this is not an accident.

However, the director's profession really requires talent, and at least from his debut film, he only had mediocre talent.

Sure enough, starting from late August this year, the higher authorities took action, and news came out one after another that the sponsors of the Golden Horse Awards had withdrawn, and films in mainland China and Hong Kong had withdrawn.

However, this incident, which caused an uproar in the film industry, has no impact on DreamWorks. After all, DreamWorks has never signed up for the Golden Horse Awards.

There is a visible gap in talent between Liu Zhenyun's daughter Liu Yulin and Liu Xing's stepdaughter Zhao Ting - if we don't talk about things other than director ability.

Chen Jingxing nodded, then shook his head: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and I'm going to die. You can't stop me, not this year, but also next year."

But is our film industry on the same level as our opposite in terms of the number of films? The mainland has taken away half of the awards and many of our filmmakers and media have to thank them for their generosity."

The real impact of an award depends on who is studying with the prince.

Last year's Golden Rooster Awards, Lao Mouzi's "Shadow" was also nominated for several awards, with Zhang Mo serving as the editor.

Lao Mouzi nodded silently, quite surprised in his heart, and Zhang Mo beside him was also a little surprised.

Now it seems that Chen Jingxing has been so conceited since that time. He doesn't want to use his works to carry a sedan chair for the Golden Horse Awards and give blood to the Golden Horse?

But he will not accompany the prince to study at the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award.

"Last year you won the Best Director, and even Deng Chao won the Golden Horse Best Actor. Who is the Best Actress? Who is the Best Supporting Actor and the Best Supporting Actress? Calculate carefully, the awards won by Taiwan Film and

The number of awards we received is roughly the same.

But it was a good harvest at the Golden Horse Awards, and he won the first Golden Horse Best Director trophy in his life. Of course, it now seems to be the last one.

The star power and influence of the film accompanying the prince to study determine the influence of the award.

The National Master and the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, Ang Lee, are old friends and have a very good relationship.

Probably because although Chen Jingxing's words were polite, they were simply full of arrogance.

After being interviewed by some media, he and his daughter entered the cinema and talked about everything from "King Kong River" to this year's awards.

This is a bomb that will explode sooner or later.

Of course, the logic behind Chen Jingxing's participation in the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award is not that he believes that mainland awards are more valuable than the Golden Horse Award.

Chen Jingxing did not hide his thoughts: "It was expected, but this is not the main reason."

What Chen Jingxing meant was that he didn't want his movie to accompany the prince's studies. Even if it could win some technical awards, he wouldn't like it.

Although Zhang Mo is nearly forty years old, he looks relatively young and speaks cheerfully: "Actually, I met you at the 2016 Film Festival Awards, but you were the award guest at the time."

Chen Jingxing still has a good memory, because the award he presented at that time was for Best Director, and it was awarded to Chief Jia.

This is a default movie ecology.

Use the mainland's influential films and filmmakers to increase stardom and the attention of cross-strait and three places, and then award nearly half of the awards to your own people to increase exposure, and you can enter the vast mainland market without any effort.

It is a shortcut to praise people and also to extend the life of the dying Taiwanese film industry.

Otherwise, if only those films that not many viewers have seen participate in the awards competition, their influence and sponsorship fees will definitely decrease year by year.

After all, one of the three Chinese-language awards was missing out of thin air. Even if you look at it from the perspective of your butt, the filmmakers can’t help but feel regretful.

"It's unnecessary" is a polite way of saying it, but what it really means is that I don't want to stand up for the Golden Horse Award.

The response from public opinion was not small. Some mourned Kao's wife, some applauded, and some expressed regret like Lao Mouzi. Most people in the film circle basically have the idea of ​​pity.

If Chen Jingxing were Lao Mouzi, he would probably feel regretful.

"Actually, I'm quite curious. You seem to have never signed up for the Golden Horse Awards? Do you think you've anticipated such a day?"

Even the Oscars will actually try to ensure that some blockbusters with high box office are nominated every year, provide comfort with technical awards, and then use the influence of these blockbusters that win technical awards to support the literary and artistic films that actually win major awards such as Best Picture.

However, Lao Mouzi's daughter decided to take the directing route early on. She received Ang Lee's recommendation and studied at the New York University Film School. Later, she worked as an editor, subtitle artist and even assistant director in Guoshi's films, and also made her own films.

, and also went to theaters.

Lao Mouzi's regret was palpable in his words: "The organizing committee of the Golden Horse made a big mistake last year, but I didn't expect to be in such a situation. I thought it was over. I called Director Li a few days ago.

He also felt that it was a bit sudden, which was a pity."

Now Chen Jingxing's fans and most viewers definitely don't think Chen Jingxing needs recognition from the Golden Horse Awards.

Of course, Chen Jingxing quickly made a name for himself because he did not sign up for the Golden Horse Award at all.

What surprised Lao Mouzi was that this was not what Chen Jingxing thought after he had become the so-called "King of Science Fiction". When "Fatal Identity" came out, many viewers expected Chen Jingxing to make a breakthrough with this movie.

Make some light at the Golden Horse Awards.

"Ah, I remember, you were the only female director among all the shortlisted films at that time."

What the two were talking about was the "accident" that occurred at the Golden Horse Awards last year. The things were different and the remarks were different, but the essence was the same. However, this time the Golden Horse accident happened one year later than in the previous life.

If a sci-fi blockbuster with a theme like "The Wandering Earth" can win the Best Picture at the Golden Rooster Awards, and Guo Fan can also win the Best Director, is it possible to put it at the Golden Horse Awards?

At most, I will give you a few technical awards, let you be nominated for the best film, increase media attention, and then award the grand prize to a certain art film.

Chen Jingxing has no objection to art films, but he doesn't feel he is obligated to donate blood to art film awards, carry a sedan chair, or accompany the prince to study.

Of course, everything is changing. It is also because Chen Jingxing attaches great importance to the Golden Rooster Awards and participates every year. Therefore, the Golden Rooster Awards can also gain stronger commercial influence through the films of DreamWorks in recent years, and also increase its gold content in disguise, making itself

It's more worth competing.

Criticisms that the Golden Rooster Awards are too commercial continue every year, but they cannot stop the Golden Rooster Awards from attracting more attention, and its sponsors and influence are increasing year by year.

Speaking of the Golden Rooster Award, Lao Mouzi swept away his previous regrets and said with some emotion: "You must be the best director this year."
