I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 467: Old Business (14)

Of course, Wu Zhenyu’s acting skills are impeccable, but during the peak period of Hong Kong films, he had very few influential works, and he was even not as good as Ren Dawei, who had similarly bad luck in winning awards.

The three films that have the best chance of him winning the Best Actor award are "Gunfire", "Infernal Affairs 2" and "Explosive Cop".

But there is an embarrassing point here. Both "Gunfire" and "Explosion Cop" were released in 1999, which made Wu Zhenyu nominated for the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards for one of the films respectively.

"Gunfire" defeated Liang Chaowei's "In the Mood for Love" at the Golden Horse Awards. The latter won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, but "Gunfire" failed to be nominated at the Hong Kong Film Awards that year.

Wu Zhenyu from the same class nominated the male lead of "Explosion Cop". Objectively speaking, there are two films with strong performance output, but he was forced to choose one during the nomination stage, and chose the relatively weaker "Explosion Cop"...

It's like Magnolia kicked out the lady in "The Glory of Our Fathers" and Ma Yili in "Flowering Flowers", and then brought in Zhou Xun and Yan Ni who didn't perform so well, just to make it easier for Tang Yan...

This year's best actress is most likely Tang Yan!

As for Ren Suxi, "Hometown, How Are You?" is a web drama...

Being nominated is already a great honor!
Back to Wu Zhenyu, it is ironic that the film that defeated "Explosion Cop" and won the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards was actually Andy Lau's "Infernal Affairs". Because "In the Mood for Love" was released in 2000, it participated in the 20th (2001) Hong Kong Film Awards and successfully won the award.

Such an evaluation mechanism undoubtedly produces a strong ironic effect.

And "Infernal Affairs 2" even lost to Andy Lau's "Big Brother".

"Big Brother" and "Infernal Affairs" are considered to be Andy Lau's better performances, but they are obviously not as good as "Gunfire" and "Infernal Affairs 2".

In fact, those who are familiar with the Academy Awards know that the Academy Awards itself is a small circle award held by the Hong Kong film industry.

Then why can't Wu Zhenyu, a local Hong Kong actor, win this award?
In fact, it is very simple. Wu Zhenyu himself is not in the mainstream circle of Hong Kong movies...

After talking about the Academy Awards for a while, Wu Zhenyu sighed: "In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, luck, connections, and audience appeal are important, but strength is not important. Strength is placed very far behind."

Shen Liang thought for a moment and replied, "Connections... I'm fine. Shi Sir asked me about this some time ago!"

"What did she...say?"

"She asked me what I thought about the Academy Awards... and I said that winning an award is of course a good thing..."

The Academy Awards is an association award. The Academy Awards voters are composed of 13 Hong Kong professional film associations. Every year, these voters will select a list of nominations. These nominations include Hong Kong film works, actors, directors, etc. that have performed outstandingly in the past year.

The judging panel is composed of a group of film industry professionals who will evaluate, discuss and vote on the nominations in each category based on their experience and knowledge.

Of course, the most powerful association is the Producers Association. Coincidentally, Shi Nansheng has a lot of say in the Producers Association...

Let’s put it this way, if Shen Liang really wants to win the award, it is still possible!
……

The total investment of "Changjin Lake" exceeds 10 billion RMB...

With such a large investment, we must use excellent actors, or actors with marketability...

Because capital has the property of being risk-averse.

In the past, when making popular movies, because of the so-called Weibo data voting as a reference, investors thought that they could make a lot of money by investing in a popular young actor, and some of them did achieve their goal, such as "Grave Robbers' Chronicles"...

But the failure of "Shanghai Fortress" and "Europe Raiders" proves that traffic cannot support the box office!

Even if "Zhu Xian" can be considered a box office success, it only grossed over 4 million yuan, so the new traffic is not enough...

At this stage, the one who can carry the box office is Wu Jing, and the other is Shen Liang!

Recognized in the circle.

These two actors are guaranteed to earn 10 billion RMB! And when they are combined, their power is far greater than 1+1…

Therefore, after persuading Wu Jing, Yu Dong and Huang Jianxin’s next move is to persuade Shen Liang!
However, it is difficult to...

Shen Liang has too many projects on hand.

First I had to join the crew of "Peak Explosion", then "Storm Chaser", and then "Life Events" and "Lotus Tower"...

Most importantly, on the phone, Shen Liang did not show any interest in "Changjin Lake"...

The original words were, "I don't have time to participate in "King Kong River"... Actually, there are a lot of actors born after 95 in the mainland, with good looks and temperament, and we can definitely find them! Besides, I am preparing to make a movie about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, so I'd better not participate in "Changjin Lake"! "

Yu Dong is unlikely to give up...

How to put it, for an investment of more than 10 billion, it will take 30 billion to make a profit!
Before it is released, who can guarantee that a movie’s box office can exceed 30 billion?
Therefore, Yu Dong will definitely continue to fight Shen Liang to the death.

……

Quarantine for 14 days.

Throat stabbing every day...

Shen Liang was quite happy at first, because he finally had time to take a good rest...

There is internet and delicious food...

Feels good!
Even if there was no girl, he thought it was no problem, it was only two weeks.

Oh, he came back from Hong Kong and was taken to the hotel right away...

Then began his isolation career.

I'm bored, so I usually do live streaming...

At the beginning, I live-streamed for three hours every day, sharing my daily life and my views on tenses with my brothers.

Just chatting...

On the fifth day, I started livestreaming my workout: 200 push-ups and 200 sit-ups at a time, five sets a day…

By the way, I updated the daily life of the dog licker and the quotations of the ancestors...

Uh, his old job.

In recent years, I have gained some new insights!
"Liang Kun has a classic line, which goes: "If you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand at attention!" After thinking about it, I found that only a bootlicker can do this. He kneels when he is told to kneel, he is wrong when he is told to do so, and he dies when he is told to die. The goddess' words are more effective than his parents!"

"Drink the strongest liquor and be the humblest licker. In the end, only a very few lickers will suddenly realize that what they have is not love, but a subordinate relationship between a dog and its master."

“Let me tell you, all the efforts of the lickers are just used as bargaining chips to raise their own value by the lickers.

Some good-looking boys and girls like to show off their charm as a goddess or a god by "the number of licking dogs they have."

"It's meaningless. The success rate of a bootlicker is very low, almost zero!"

"Don't think about how to please women, and don't worship women as gods. Learn more about the nature of relationships between people. Love is not gained through piety or sincerity, but through attraction!"

"In the adult world, if she doesn't reply to your message within 24 hours, it means she's gone, or she's too lazy to care about you, or you're not that important. At this point, you should break up!"
