Perfect Life

January 18, 2000.

Outside the Shuntianfu Kodak Theater, a long red carpet stretched over 99 meters. The reporters' photo area was densely packed with guns and short guns. The audience area gathered thousands of fans who spontaneously came to see the stars.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the red carpet officially started.

Compared with Western countries, the domestic entertainment industry started relatively late. At first, I learned a period of experience from Western countries, from TV stations, movies to music records.

But later, in the early and mid-1980s, China experienced another wave of reflection, began to reject Western things, and carried out a so-called "de-Europeanization of the literary and art circles" reform.

The influence of this reform is extremely far-reaching. In terms of music, it has caused domestic music to start from the original pure national drama style and sweet songs, and the imported products from Europe and the United States. In fact, it is formed by a large number of works that borrow and imitate Western music. of polarization and confrontation, and turned to explore the culture of the Chinese nation itself.

Folk songs, folk songs, folk songs and other music with a strong Chinese style began to flourish during this period, and for a long period of time thereafter, they dominated the music scene, and also created a large number of music such as Liu Mingliang and Zhen Zhen. Such a top singer.

In terms of the film and television market, it was also during that period that China also began to try its best to get rid of the simple imitation of European and American works, and began to explore its own national style, and produced a considerable number of high-quality products and excellent genres, which truly laid a solid foundation for domestic film and television. A solid foundation for development.

In terms of TV series, from the "Water Margin" of the year, to the later "The Legend of Zhang Sanfeng", to the later "Journey to the West" directed by Feng Yumin, plus a considerable number of historical dramas and rural villages full of local flavor. Feature films have made the domestic TV drama industry completely form its own style.

In terms of movies, the most representative is a group of people headed by two great directors, Qin Wei and Du Weiyun, who stand out. Those directors, with their unique styles, have successively formed a huge domestic and international influence. On the one hand, the domestic film industry began to gain international reputation, and on the other hand, it indeed laid the foundation for the development of the domestic film market.

Of course, the price is that there are such a group of old-style directors, who have been gradually replaced by Qin Wei and others during this period. They may be forced to transform and explore new paths to cater to this reform and the aesthetics of the domestic people behind the reform. The gradual transfer of interest, or the direct elimination, can only be gradually turned to the background.

After the rise of Qin Wei, Du Weiyun and others, it was followed by Zhao Meicheng's urban life comedy, which shined on the big screen, and the rise of Liu Chengzhang was not worse than him. In Zhao Meicheng's films, slowly They are all northern regional cultures, while Liu Chengzhang is a typical southern style, delicate and gorgeous, but some of his swords are slanted. Since then, the domestic film market has flourished.

This has brought about two decades of rapid growth in the entire film market.

Until 1997, the domestic movie box office reached a staggering 8 billion yuan, equivalent to a total of 4 billion U.S. dollars, becoming the third largest single box office market in the world after the United States and Japan that year.

Today, the power of this reform has reached its peak, but after the peak, it seems that the follow-up is weak.

So, first the movie market, and now it's the music record market, and they all began to experience a sharp decline, or even... collapse.

Moreover, this is not simply reflected in the sudden great recession of the film market in 1998, nor is it simply because the record market finally experienced negative growth in 1999. The most important thing is that the original "non-mainstream" reformed, Obtained the status of "mainstream", which met people's aesthetic needs and entertainment needs at that time, but today, the group of people who became the "mainstream" and the art they advocated have once again failed to keep up with the times. pace up.

The rapid development of the national economy, the increasing national income, and the broadening of horizons have made the aesthetic taste and needs of the domestic people once again raised to another dimension.

For example, a very representative example is the Great Wall Awards, which has always respected the voices of the audience. Since 1996, for the first time in history, the red carpet has been added to the domestic award ceremony!

There is no doubt that this is learned from European and American countries. Specifically, it is basically a copy of Oscar!

However, the common people really like to watch this!

So, seeing that the red carpet of the Great Wall Awards has become very popular, it is said that in the past two years, like the Huabiao Award, the Feitian Award, etc., they are also considering restructuring, at least the red carpet must be added!

To put it simply, after nearly two decades of "de-Europeanization", when domestic cultural entertainment has begun to take shape, and the needs for the nation's own culture have become clear, when people open their eyes to see the world, they feel Foreign things are "very interesting".

Since coming to this time and space, this is the first time Li Qian has walked the red carpet.

He did not attend the premiere of "Titanic" before, and there is no red carpet at the Golden Globes now.

But he is a man, even if he needs to attend in formal attire, there is not much to clean up after all, and Bai Yujing and He Runqing, as women, want to walk on such a red carpet, but they really start tossing after breakfast.

The "Legend of the White Snake" submitted by Minghu Culture leads the nomination in the TV series category, and is one of the most important crews participating in this year's Great Wall Awards competition, so it has received quite a lot of invitations.

Li Qian, Zhao He, Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Cao Zhan, Zhu Mingyu, Liu Qing, Lu Ming and other crew members, and Bai Yujing, Zhu Qiang, Zhong Ling, China Resources Sheng, Chen Xinfang, Shen Tiantian, Ming Hai, Zhou Yuhai, Wu Shaojun When all the actors are counted, there are not enough tables for the two organizers. Yu Bojun will not come, and Feng Yumin, the nominal producer, must be present as a guest of honor, so Li Qian just called more. Got a He Runqing.

As for Liao Liao, she is of course a member of the crew, but as a guest singing guest of this year's Great Wall Awards, she has to go in ahead of time to prepare for the stage art, so she can't walk on the red carpet.

In addition, because Cheng Suping was nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Actress in the Film Actors category, but Yu Bojun didn't come, so, with the exception of Zhao He, the assistant director, she was about to run a solo gang, so the organizers were very considerate. Arranged her to the "Legend of the New White Snake" crew.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qian and the others had arrived at a hotel not far from the Kodak Theater.

The rules for walking the red carpet of the Great Wall Awards are based on the crew, but there is no clear line between the crews of movies and TV dramas. Basically, one movie crew will be arranged, and another TV drama crew will be arranged close to it. It is precisely because of this that movie actors will feel that it is not strong enough, and TV actors will all get together and want to go up.

Of course, there are only three top film and television awards in China. In addition, there is only one Yangcheng Film Festival left in April every year. Therefore, even a big movie actor, as long as he receives an invitation, will also receive an invitation. Still very willing to give this face a walk on the red carpet.

What's more, after the domestic film market has experienced repeated declines, in 1999, the total market volume was only 5.3 billion yuan, which was 2.8 billion less than the peak in 1997. However, the market for TV dramas has become more and more popular in the past two years, especially the release of "Legend of the New White Snake", which directly triggered a climax in the whole country. Its influence is beyond the reach of most movies. .

During the waiting period, everyone gathered together in the form of a crew, chatting and laughing in a low voice, and the crew of "The Legend of the New White Snake" was no exception. On the other hand, people would come over occasionally to say hello to Bai Yujing, Jin Han, Zhao He, and others. Once introduced, Li Qian shook hands with them, and naturally he would also have a few words.

As a result, I waited until 4:40 in the afternoon. Seeing that the surrounding crew had already left, there were only a few crews left in the backstage, and finally it was Li Qian and the others.

The reason is that "Legend of the New White Snake" is too popular, and the director Li Qian is also one of the most popular stars in China. Therefore, although they are TV series, they are still arranged at the back, slightly off the main axis. time to show up.

China Resources Sheng, Chen Xinfang, Ming Hai, and Shen Tiantian went out to lead the way, drawing cheers from both sides of the red carpet. Everyone may not remember their names, but they all know that they are Li Gongfu and Xu Xian's sisters. It was Baoshan, and that was Li Bilian.

Zhao He, Jin Han, Liu Qing, and Lu Ming were next to the stage. In contrast, even if they were only compared to the previous group, their journey was completely uneventful~www.wuxiaspot. com~ Not to mention the fans at the scene, even many reporters are not familiar with them.

Then Cao Zhan, He Runqing, Zhou Yuhai, Wu Shaojun, Han Shunzhang and Zhu Mingyu went out. Because of Cao Zhan, He Runqing, and the existence of Fahai and King Jincymbal, the cheers started again.

Obviously, Li Qian and the others were the last responsible for the finale.

When he stepped out of the extended courtesy car sent by the organizer, Li Qian immediately aroused the exclamations of many sharp-eyed audiences as soon as he appeared. It is rare for a person like Li Qian who has never appeared in any variety show. In an interview, but for a celebrity with a lot of popularity, ordinary viewers can only see him from a few pictures given in news reports, or on the album cover of the four beauties. At this time, they can actually see him. When the live-action version appeared in front of him, and he could still talk and walk, everyone naturally felt it was novel.

Li Qian took Cheng Supin, and Zhu Qiang and Bai Yujing, the golden screen partners, walked side by side. When they first walked on the red carpet, they attracted hysterical cheers from the audience.

The cheers were so loud that even those who had entered the theater could clearly hear them.

Lu Ping listened for a while, then turned his head and asked Gao Lanlan with a smile, "It should be the "Legend of the New White Snake" crew, right?"

Gao Lanlan smiled and nodded.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!

Thank you all for putting up with my interruption this time. Frankly speaking, I have been writing for more than a year, but suddenly I don’t write for two days, and I don’t write when there are no other things to delay. I am really uncomfortable! However, it is really comfortable to accompany my wife to drink tea and chat without typing after dinner!

The idea is almost sorted out, so, I came back on time!

In addition to these two days, I owe a total of six chapters. From tomorrow, I will start paying off the debt! (
