Chapter 246 Those who believe in me will have eternal life
On February 10, 22, on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Jin officially started work. Coincidentally, today is also the day when the Hong Kong Film Awards announced the nominations for major awards. It can be regarded as a good start of work. Chen Jin saw that he also had a part in the newspaper.
He was nominated for Best Actor for his wonderful performance in "The Legend of 500 Million Detective Ray Lo". He was accompanied by Zhou Runfa in "Through the Seas", Lv Liangwei in "The lame Hao", Zeng Zhiwei in "The Tale of Two Cities" and Zhou Xingchi in "The Legend of Two Cities".
The decline of literary films can be seen from this nomination, which not only means that there is only one nomination for the best actor, but also only three or four nominations for all the awards.
The market is so realistic. Although it is a little unfair to stay strong and too weak, it is very suitable for the survival of the fittest. Now there are several people who are willing to pay money to watch literary and artistic films. They all enter the cinemas to relax and happily. What everyone wants is the kind of very simple relaxation and laughter, the esoteric and obscure of literary and artistic films. How can there be a market for astringent things?
It is because of this situation that the market is full of superficial, rough and connotationless commercial films. Maybe, it is really impossible to pick out better literary films to fill the scene and encouragement, so the Golden Statue Award is forced to accept these crude productions.
"The Biography of 500 Million Detective Ray Lo", Chen Jin doesn't think it is excellent, but among all the nominated films, it is definitely a standard film, especially after he joined, this film and what Chen Jin has seen in the previous time and space have been qualitatively improved - whether it is from the acting skills of the actors and various scenes and props. Photography and so on have been greatly changed and improved.
This is probably the reason why the film can sell well, and now it can win as many as nine nominations - Best Film, Best Director Liu Guochang, Best Actor Chen Jin, Best Supporting Actor Guan Haishan, Best Supporting Actress Wang Zuxian, Best Screenplay Chen Wenqiang, Best Photography Liu Weiqiang, Best Action Director Yuan Kui, Mo Shaoqi, the best art director.
I went to the crew of "Spicy Hand Detective" early in the morning, and Brother Fa was naturally there. As soon as Chen Jin saw him, he said, he said, "Look at you, look at you. It's really getting more and more depraved. It's been a long time since I've gained weight again. I doubt that you can still roll on the ground and shoot later."
Brother Fa curled his lips and counterattacked without showing weakness: "Look at you, look at how proud you are when you get a nomination. I really want to see if you win the prize, I don't know if you can find the north."
Chen Jin shook left and right proudly and hummed, "What's the matter? I feel guilty. I'm afraid I'll lose face for me!"
"Losing to you?" Brother Fa took a sentence and was about to mock him. Director Wu Yusen, who sent the red envelope after starting work, was really good to come back. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Well, it's really possible. It's not that Ah Fa's acting is not good, but that the film that doesn't need too much acting skills. Ah Fa can't play."
Looking at Chen Jinle's frown, Director Wu Yusen also smiled happily. This guy is always so easy to bring joy to everyone. It is very infectious. Sometimes even if you see him happy, you will feel much better. What a guy you have to like.
"In my opinion, among the five nominations, A Fa is the most unlikely, and then Zhou Xingchi in "Leacademy Weilong" and Lu Liangwei in "Li lame Hao", "When it comes to this topic, director Wu Yusen sat down and expressed his opinion, "Zhou Xingchi's role" It's almost the same as A Fa, not to mention that Lu Liangwei's performance in "The Lonely" is good, but compared with you, there is a slight gap.
looked at Chen Jin with a smile, "This is my personal opinion. It doesn't represent the jury of the Golden Statue Award. I am not a member of the jury. Then, the rest is Zeng Zhiwei in The Tale of Two Cities. To be honest, his performance is very outstanding. Most importantly, you must know that the film he acted in is It's a serious literary film, and it's a very good literary film. After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders, which was self-evident.
Once a person has an idea, but suddenly disillusioned, it will still be a little uncomfortable. At this time, Chen Jin is in this situation. He didn't think much about it before, but he aroused the thought of director Wu Yusen. In the end, it was a ruthless blow. Moreover, he himself thought that what he said was reasonable.
Seeing his depressed expression, Brother Fa patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Tell you a way. Isn't it just nominated now? You can find a few people to do it now."
Chen Jin's psychological quality was so strong that he was perverted. He immediately turned his worries into joy. He jumped up and clamped Brother Fa's neck and laughed, "In order to avoid any accidents, I'll just kill you all."
After shooting the morning scene happily, at lunch, Chen Jin took Brother Fa aside. Without waiting for him to ask, he said directly, "Brother Fa, are you interested in shooting a TV series with me?"
Seeing him stunned, Chen Jin smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "I wrote the script myself, and I plan to direct and act by myself. There is still an important hero left. I think you are the most suitable," he said, "I know you haven't acted in a TV series for a long time, but I hope you can think about it. Of course, you can decide after reading the book."
Brother Fa scratched his head with great difficulty and shrugged his shoulders, "Why do I feel that I can't understand you more and more, TV series? Those who acted in TV series worked hard and drilled into the movie circle as if they were crazy, but you pushed off so many movie appointments and said self-directed and self-acting TV series.
With that, he was stunned and waved his chopsticks. "Wait a minute, you said you wrote the script yourself and directed and acted by yourself," he frowned for a while, but still didn't figure it out. He asked directly, "Tell me honestly. What does it mean? Anyway, I have nothing to do this year. As long as you say it well, I will follow It doesn't matter if you play."
"I want to vigorously explore the Asian market, especially Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, China and other places, to dig deeper into these regions, and this is what records and movies can do. In particular, movies still have great limitations. There are only TV dramas, which are broadcast on TV stations, as long as they are Classic good films, just like the Shanghai Beach made in those years, when the ratings are high and the duration is long, the kind of publicity will be wider and more thorough.
Chen Jin slowly said his thoughts, "More people come into contact with you and like you, so that you will have greater value. In addition to movies and records, advertising revenue and commercial performances account for an increasing proportion of us, and he can let us get more in this aspect."
Brother Fa interrupted him at this time and said directly, "Even if you are right, are you so sure that you can make a good film? As far as I know, you have never done this kind of work.
Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and said confidently, "Have you seen me do something I'm not sure of, or am I the kind of casual person?"
Brother Fa took a serious look at Chen Jin, shook his head with a smile, as if he didn't say anything, and as if he was affirming him, and then stretched out his hand, "Bring me the notebook!"
Chen Jin smiled at this time, "No, it hasn't been written yet. Wait for me for half a month!" In fact, this guy didn't start to write at all. Brother Fa stared at him and almost threw the fast food box in his hand. "What, you haven't done it yet. Then what are you blowing?" He waved his hand and stood up. "Go, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Chen Jin knew that he had agreed and replied with a smile, "It's still the same sentence. I'm sure you won't regret it."
Brother Fa casually stuffed the fast food box into Zhang Weixiong's hand, turned around and frowned and said, "I almost forgot that I have to buy the TV copyright in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the mainland. I want to ask if you are too arrogant. It's not that I said that I said that sometimes it's better to be stable now. Everything can't be obtained by others in their lifetime.
Chen Jin laughed and joked, "Brother Fa, let me tell you that those who believe in me will have eternal life. Do you believe it?" Without waiting for Brother Fa to use the fast food box, he first ran away with a smile.
Although Chen Jin said it very simply, he was already well thought about it. He was thinking about this when he came back from Japan in January this year. In this era, there is an extreme lack of entertainment. If the audience of records and movies is compared with TV, it is still too small, and even continuous publicity is not as good. TV series, dozens of episodes at a time, one side is two or three months or even longer.
Hong Kong and Taiwan and even the later mainland have made many classic TV series. However, these TV series have their limitations, that is, they can only be popular in the region. In Japan, South Korea can't do it, let alone go to the United States.
On the contrary, some TV series in the United States, Japan and South Korea swept through China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, forming a trend among young people and even housewives, and they are the main force of consumption.
Why does this appear? Chen Jin has analyzed that although Japanese dramas and Korean dramas have some characteristics of their own country, they are essentially a popular fashion drama, including love, fashion and other elements that resonate with most people, so he can become popular.
And some dramas in China and Hong Kong have a strong national flavor, which prevents more people from understanding and appreciating, and also causes fatal injuries that cannot be popular.
Chen Jin hasn't thought about the United States for the time being. He hasn't established his roots in Asia. He has some influence in Japan and South Korea, but the last incident still made him vigilant. He has to exert more influence on those places.
Records have been released. Movies have limitations and protection policies of various countries. TV series are another way that can be used to serve him. American dramas are not needed now. Later, very popular Korean dramas can be used, especially in Asia.
