Millennium director

The Golden Rooster awards are really easy to predict.

Not to mention Wu Yuan, an expert, even an outsider, as long as he is a movie fan, basically understands the nature of the Golden Rooster.

So when Wu Yuan said his guess, Liu Yifei was not surprised, but just nodded calmly and said, "I think so too."

Although she still had a glimmer of hope to "exclusively enjoy" the Best Actress award, the rational Liu Yifei knew that the result of this year's Golden Rooster was likely to be what Wu Yuan said.

There was no way, the result Wu Yuan said was too good, and all aspects were taken into consideration. The only thing that might not be taken into consideration was the "academic school" that once monopolized the Golden Rooster awards.

To be precise, it should be the "old scholar" school, because directors such as Wu Yuan, Wang Xiaoshuai, and Zhang Yimou are also academics, but they are not necessarily favored by the Golden Rooster.

"Now the old antiques who once controlled the Golden Rooster Awards can no longer exert much influence on the Golden Rooster Awards after the Golden Rooster Awards reform."

"Now they only have the "Five One Project" award to control."

"This year's "Five One Project" award special award was awarded to "Gutian Military Call." Liu Yifei chatted with Wu Yuan with a gossipy look on her face.

As an actor who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, Liu Yifei naturally has connections in the academy and is quite familiar with such things in the circle.

"Gutian Military Call is actually quite good, but in this era, it is unrealistic to want other movies to give up their positions and hand over the grand prize just for talking about the main theme."

"We can't forget the revolutionary history, but movies with revolutionary historical themes should also keep pace with the times."

This topic cannot be discussed for long. Wu Yuan just said a few simple sentences and changed the subject: "Then "The Wandering Earth" and "Operation Red Sea" are quite good, and they can be regarded as new main theme movies in the new era."

"Well, just like the American blockbusters in Hollywood, we can also We can make our own "American blockbusters" which can be popular and spread Chinese ideas and collective style. "

"I think the future of Chinese films will depend on "collectivism". Hollywood has already reached the extreme in "individualism". We should find another way from collectivism to compete with Hollywood!"

"The next decade will be the era of competition between the East Wind and the West Wind."

Although movies are always said to be artistic creation and cultural industries, they have always been inseparable from national development since their birth.

Only when a country is strong and financially developed can their cultural products be equally developed and even radiate the world.

Just like Japan's cultural industry developed greatly during the bubble economy era, Japanese dramas, Japanese music and stars swept across Asia.

In the era of the Four Asian Tigers, Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong stars also swept across Asia and even radiated Europe and the United States.

By the early 2000s, South Korea also joined the ranks of developed countries. With the support of national strength, Korean dramas, Korean idols, stars, and music have gained countless fans from East Asia to Southeast Asia, and even counterattacked Europe and the United States.

On the surface, this seems to be the development of the cultural industry, but in fact, the confidence behind it is brought by the economic take-off of each country.

Now this trend has finally come to China. As China has become the world's second largest economy, China's entertainment industry has also taken off, and the film industry has flourished and begun to have influence throughout Asia.

Apart from other things, in the past three to five years, Chinese TV series have been very popular in Southeast Asia.

Some online drama actors may not even be considered first-tier in China, but they are top actors in Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore. Their Instagram accounts can post a dynamic, and the number of likes and comments is several times more than that of domestic Weibo accounts, and all of them are foreign fans commenting and replying.

Sites like Guangying Kuaibo, Penguin Video, and Qiyi Video have developed quite well in Southeast Asia, each with millions of users, and a large number of mainland TV series are popular in Southeast Asia and other countries.

Mainly campus romance, urban romance, and ancient costume fairy tales.

However, most ordinary people in the mainland will not pay attention to these, so they don’t know how popular and hot these "ancient idols" and "sweet dramas" that are looked down upon by many mainland audiences are in Southeast Asia. The scene is comparable to the popularity of Korean dramas in China.

In comparison, Chinese movies are not very popular in Southeast Asia.

But Wu Yuan is very optimistic about the future. He believes that as China's national strength strives to be the second and the first, Chinese movies will sooner or later conquer Asia, especially the immature Southeast Asian market, and this time node is likely to be in the next ten years.

In the next ten years, Chinese movies will compete fiercely with Hollywood movies in Southeast Asia!

And this is also the general direction of the future development of the era of light and shadow. After all, the Japanese and Korean markets have long been mature, and Southeast Asia is globally recognized as the next economic take-off region after India. There is a vast market and great potential!

"In the next ten years, Guangying Times will have to play the Southeast Asian strategy card well."

"The company's Xianxia movie universe has been released in Southeast Asia in recent years, and Guangying Kuaibo has also exclusively launched a streaming version, and the feedback in Southeast Asia is also good."

Wu Yuan was still chattering, but Liu Yifei was completely uninterested in the commercial aspects of these movies. She half-closed her eyes and felt drowsy.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's go to bed!"

A week later.

The 32nd China Film Golden Rooster Awards was successfully held in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China.

As expected by Wu Yuan, the Best Feature Film was won by "The Wandering Earth", the Best Director was given to "Operation Red Sea", and "Dying to Survive" also won the Best Director Debut.

The Best Actress, which he paid the most attention to, was indeed a double yolk egg again. Liu Yifei and Yongmei won this award together. The Best Actor was Wang Jingchun from "So Long, My Son", and Yu Hewei also won the Best Supporting Actor for Cao Cao in "Cai Wenji".

The cake was really evenly divided, and it can almost be said that everyone was happy. Those movies that did not win the awards in the end could not say anything bad. After all, in terms of box office and artistry, those unsuccessful movies really cannot be compared with the above four movies. People inside and outside the circle tacitly agreed that these four movies divided this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

At the award ceremony, Liu Yifei also shed tears again and delivered a sincere and touching acceptance speech.

Unfortunately, Wu Yuan, who was mentioned in her speech, did not come to the ceremony that night, but stayed in Beijing to do the post-editing of "Bruce Lee".

There is no other way, the time is tight and the task is heavy! (End of this chapter)
