I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 760 Golden Rooster Awards (23)

"We mainly make movies with an investment of 5000 million to 8000 million yuan. The box office expectations are not very high. As long as we can recover the cost..."

Wang Yibing: "I heard that Glory and Dreams has passed the review?"

After the forum ended, several people did not leave immediately, but took the initiative to ask Shen Liang...

"Yes, directed by Rao Xiaozhi, he has already led the crew to Syria!"

"How much does it cost?"

"The cost is about 1.5 million, mainly for filming..."

Yu Dong was curious and interrupted: "What is "Glory and Dream"? "

“Liu Cixin’s works… reflect hegemony and the resistance of weak countries!”

"Glory and Dream" - But even if it is small, there must be hope for survival, because this is glory and dream!

"Glory and Dream" created three characters: a gymnastics champion who fell into prostitution, a shooting athlete who became a sniper, and a little girl who had never worn real running shoes and ran in the wind and sand...

Country M invades the West Asian Republic, and the United Nations proposes that the fate of the two countries be decided through sports instead of war.

Sinni, a long-distance runner who had fallen to the point of having to pick up garbage for a living, was chronically malnourished and almost starving to death, suddenly received a notice to participate in the Olympics.

Also participating were other athletes who were affected by the war and had a hard time making ends meet, including former world champions.

The selfish champion still asked for large amounts of cash at a time of national crisis, otherwise he would not participate.

The former gymnastics queen, in order to make people suffer less, challenged herself to perform moves that were far beyond her ability, resulting in a broken cervical vertebra, and her dream of competing in the arena ended.

Xinni...eventually collapsed in the stadium due to exhaustion...she had already burned out her life.

What kept her going till the end was the greatest wealth left to her by her old coach in his will: glory and dreams.

Although they did not win, according to the rules, the performance of West Asian athletes should greatly reduce the burden on the country and the people.

However, the war continued without any changes, as if everything was just a joke.

Competition cannot replace war, just as wine cannot replace blood!

Yu Dong: "This topic... is difficult to pass the review, right?"

Shen Liang nodded: "After three years of hard work, it finally passed the review... and they said it would be filmed according to the original novel..."

"…That…"

"I won't say any more. I still have to visit the judges. I'll leave first..."

Shen Liang didn't really want to talk about this, so he turned and left.

He really can't get along with these people!
There is no need to get too close - what can the so-called traditional film and television companies do? At most, they are investment companies...

When it comes to investment, who can’t we turn to?

Movies are different from other commodities. Content is the primary productive force in the film market.

The power structure of the film market is being restructured, with the center of gravity shifting from traditional film moguls to top filmmakers.

But these people don't see this...

Even if they saw it, they couldn't keep up...

At this stage, film production has gradually formed a mixed model with creator companies as the main investors, major Internet companies participating in the investment, and theaters, distribution, and marketing companies working together.

There is no place for traditional film and television companies here...

……

This year's Golden Rooster Awards, the movies related to Shen Liang include "Changjin Lake", "Miracle: Stupid Kid", "Famous", and "New Journey"...

Among them, "Changjin Lake" received eight nominations, and "Miracle: The Stupid Kid" received six nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Cinematography.
"Famous" received three nominations, and "New Journey" also received three nominations...

Shen Liang does not have to film the "Starry Sea" plan this time - this year, the actors of "Starry Sea" will go on stage to sing "Youth Towards the Sun" at the end of the awards ceremony...

Just sit in the audience the whole time. That was what he had planned, but he lost his temper at the beginning...

Zhou Dongyu and Du Jiang had a speech to light up the Golden Rooster before the award ceremony:

"The past decade has been a good era for Chinese films; China is a blessed land for filmmakers."

Shen Liang was stunned!

Are you OK?

During the Golden Rooster Awards, a video circulated on the social platform: ordinary cinema operators were unable to continue their business and had to use a knife to cut open the cinema screen that cost tens of thousands of dollars.

You actually think that this is a good era for Chinese films?
When audiences no longer go to theaters and when theaters are closing one after another, is it appropriate for you to say such things?

Shen Liang couldn't help but curse, "Idiot!"

Wu Jing beside him asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

Shen Liang also replied quietly: "A lot of cinemas have closed down recently, and our filmmakers are still talking about 'a good era for Chinese films'... It feels like everyone is not living in the same era!"

“…She said these words, which must have been prepared in advance by the organizer!”

"I know..." Shen Liang pointed to the teleprompter: "Isn't this a teleprompter?"

"You're going to speak later, too?"

"I won't say anything..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "I guess I won't have a chance to go on stage tonight!"

The two were chatting when the camera lens came towards them, and they immediately shut up...

……

Just as Shen Liang predicted, he returned empty-handed tonight...

It's normal to think about it. You've won the Best Actor award for two consecutive years. So what? Do you want to do it again and start a dynasty?

This year's Golden Rooster Awards...are really hard to get.

After reading the list of nominees, I have one feeling: this award is just like picking up something barely edible from the garbage dump and muddling through to survive.

There is no such thing as a standout movie!

The poor supply of films and interference from various factors have turned the awards ceremony, which was supposed to recognize excellent acting skills and discover excellent films, into a place where interested parties divide their own cake.

After the award ceremony, Shen Liang checked Weibo and found that the top trending search was #朱一龍影帝#…

It’s okay, at least the public still pays attention to the Golden Rooster Awards.

The most frightening thing is that there is no sound at all after the award ceremony...

A reporter from the film channel interviewed Shen Liang and asked him how he felt about not winning the award.

"I feel okay... I definitely won't win the award. If you think about it, you will know how can one person win the award three times in a row?"

“…How can I say whether it’s fair or not…There’s no clear standard for judging acting skills. Being nominated means it’s recognized…”

“Are you filming a movie now?”

"Yes, the filming of 'She Vanished' produced by Chen Sicheng is almost finished and will probably be released next summer!"

“Good luck with your shoot!”

"Thanks…"

Oh, the movie channel is the broadcaster of the Golden Rooster Awards, so Shen Liang must give it face. In addition, there were many other reporters holding UP podcasts on their phones, but Shen Liang ignored them and left the theater and went straight to the airport.

After waiting for a while, Rouba came over.

She also won nothing - the Best Actress award went to Xi Meijuan, the lead actress of "Mom!"...

In addition, the Best Film award went to "Changjin Lake", and the Best Director award went to Chen Kaige, Xu Ke and Dante Lam...

Those who don’t know would think that the Golden Rooster Awards has become the Huabiao Awards!
