I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 346 Winning the Prize (13)

Actually, Shen Liang was originally going to say "This is just the beginning"...

But I thought that my luck might not be able to suppress this sentence...

This sentence came from Rouba’s speech on Weibo after he won the Golden Eagle Award.

So, I should be more modest and say, "I am deeply honored and ashamed to receive this"...

Then... I regretted it. Young people should be more aggressive!
"A Sun" won more than one award.

Chen Daoming won the Best Actor Award...

"A Sun" also won the Jury Prize...

That’s right, three prizes!

Director Chen Ming first gave his acceptance speech: "At first, the script of "A Sun" was not intended for me. I was interested in the role, so I found Liang Ge... We were filming a drama at the time, so we were close to each other... I have been acting all my life, but I have never played this kind of role. I enjoyed the filming process..."

"Thank you to the judges for giving me this award. I am very happy. I can still win an award at such an old age... Thank you!"

The acceptance speech for the Grand Jury Award was delivered by Rao Xiaozhi, who repeated what he said when he won the Screenwriter Award. Oh, and added, "Thank you, Brother Liang!"

……

In fact, there is usually no news about the awards at the Shanghai Film Festival, except that the award for "The Sun Also Rises" that year, Deng Chao, Guo Tao, and Duan Yihong all won the Best Actor award and it became a hot topic for a while...

Then, when the double yolk egg was opened, Brother Hu and Da Peng won the prize...

To be honest, apart from Hu Ge’s fans, few people pay attention!
Instead, many people curiously dug up the relationship between Hu Ge and Shanghai Film Studio...

The conclusion is that he is the leader of the middle-aged generation in the Shanghai circle!

The Shanghai circle is different from the Beijing circle. The Beijing circle mainly refers to the children of big compounds and the bridgehead Huayi Brothers, while the Shanghai circle refers more to Shanghai-based capital.

They form a different ecosystem in the pan-entertainment sector. Apart from the Fudan Journalism Department, which controls half of the media industry, the two major groups, SMG and Shanghai Film Group, as well as companies such as China Media Group, control core film and television resources.

These people in Shanghai have always been very fond of Brother Hu and have provided him with resources for more than ten years!
Back then, when Shanghai Film Studio invited Zhang Guoli to film the movie "The 601st Call", they found Hu Ge, and his co-stars were Zhang Baizhi and Zhou Bichang, who was very popular at the time;

“The Myth” is also a project of Shanghai Film Emperor Entertainment Group;

Including "The Disguiser" and "Nirvana in Fire", which completely helped Hu Ge make a comeback, the major shareholder of the production company Noon Sunshine was China Media Capital, which was led by Li Ruigang!
In a sense, Shen Liang is also closely connected with Shanghai-based capital - Wajijiwa also has investment from Chinese culture.

By the way, some people say that Sun Li is in the Beijing circle, so she did not appear in "Fang Hua". Isn't this nonsense? Which drama of Sun Li is not broadcast on Dragon TV?
Sun Li also won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress twice - "Hot Mom" ​​and "Legend of Miyue"...

"Hot Mom" ​​beat "Parents' Love" and "If Life Cheats You"...

The water is home!

Ahem, back to the topic, the news that "A Sun" won the award immediately became a hot topic.

This is normal. The box office of "Avengers: Endgame" exceeded 16 billion yuan, and "Want to See You" triggered nationwide discussions. Shen Liang is very popular. Any news related to him will definitely be on the hot search!

In addition, Shen Liang is also one of the screenwriters of "Want to See You".

Well, the talent has been confirmed!
However, Shen Liang just posted a Weibo post, "A Sun Will Be Released on August 8, Please Stay Tuned..." Then he joined the crew of "A Bouquet of Love" and no longer paid attention to the outside world.

Well, to be precise, ignore the fans' flattery.

After winning an award, I must accept interviews, just as a way to promote the movie in advance!

Chen Daoming and Rao Xiaozhi also accepted the interview...

……

"In fact, I wanted to write a movie about school bullying at first... But it was hard to control the scale. If it was too shallow, it would be boring. If it was too deep, it would not pass the review... So I simply made the ending of that script the beginning of A Sun..."

"So, at the beginning, your character is put in a detention center for slashing someone?"

"Yes... and the role of the older brother, who is completely opposite to the younger brother. The father is a driving school instructor, and the mother is... a typical housewife... I took out these characters' personalities and key events, and Director Rao is a very good screenwriter himself, so he completed the story..."

"So what do you think of A Sunshine?"

"I quite like this movie. After watching the abridged version, it vaguely feels a bit like "Yi Yi"... a Chinese family..."

Chen Daoming and Rao Xiaozhi talked a lot...

Director Chen mainly pretends to be cool: "My criteria for accepting roles are, first, I choose the ones I like, and second, the ones I can act. In the past, I was 'kidnapped' by relationships, money, and emotions, but not anymore. Now I am at an age where I want to do something and can do it. In the past, there were things I could do but didn't want to do, and there were things I wanted to do but couldn't do. Now I can choose things that I both want to do and can do."

In fact, Director Chen’s taste in choosing dramas is really not good enough.

It’s very interesting to talk about.

Director Chen's most popular drama to date is, of course, "Kangxi Dynasty", but he didn't want to take this role at first because the crew first looked for Mr. Jiao, who could be deified for playing Kangxi in "Yongzheng Dynasty", but later because Kangxi needed to start from a young age, they turned to find a middle-aged male actor. Director Chen knew at first that he was "stealing" Mr. Jiao's food, and he was not happy about it. It took the crew's repeated efforts before he accepted the role.

So it was accidental that Kangxi took over.

The most important and prestigious play for Director Chen in the eyes of the intellectuals so far is of course Fortress Besieged, but he did not want to take the role at first. He said to director Huang Shuqin, who had visited him three times, Fang Hongjian was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and you should find an actor from the south to play the role.

Director Huang had no choice but to accept the role as he was the only one who could play it. Director Chen had no choice but to accept it.

The best script and the most enjoyable play that Chen Daoming has encountered so far is "Cell Phone", which was originally written by Liu Zhenyun and written by Song Fangjin. However, he was reluctant to accept it at first. He said: "I really didn't want to be in "Cell Phone". Originally, I was asked to play Yan Shouyi played by Wang Zhiwen, but later I firmly refused to play the role. The director held several days of meetings with me, saying that I had to play the role whether I wanted to or not. This made me soft-hearted and I accepted the role of Fei Mo."

If these three dramas had not been released, would Director Chen still be the Director Chen of today?
He is definitely an 18th-tier actor.

As for movies, Chen Daoming's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful performances to date are "My 1919", "Tangshan Earthquake" and "The Return".

"My 1919" was a political task, and Zhao Shi, then deputy director of the General Administration and in charge of film, "selected" him to act in it;

"Aftershock" was a favor to my friend Feng Xiaogang;
The film where Director Chen and the director really hit it off and shared the same tune in "cultural pursuit" was The Return. It was a film where a director who wanted to return to literary and artistic films and an actor who had always maintained his cultural pursuits and literary and artistic sentiments looked at each other happily and fell in love.

But if there were no "My 1919" and "Aftershock", would A-Mou have asked director Chen Ming to star in "The Return"?
"…Will you continue to cooperate with Shen Liang in the future?"

Chen Daoming nodded: "I have already booked "Underground Fire"..."
