Chapter 451 You Bid 3 Billion First? Are You Kidding Me?
On August 2, the Volkswagen Hundred Flowers Award officially begins.
This year's Hundred Flowers Awards lasted for three days. Lin Xing was naturally the absolute focus of the opening ceremony on the first day, but he did not attend the film forum that followed.
That was where the big names in the industry attended.
This big name refers to status. Many times in such forums, some big names are invited to discuss.
For example, this time, Master Guo was invited to have a dialogue. You know, this time Master Guo, who won the Hundred Flowers Award, came to the red carpet with "A Good Man".
As mentioned before, Master Guo this time focuses on nursing homes and welfare homes, and it is also a different kind of anti-crime.
Although there have been more and more anti-crime themes in recent years, it can even be said that they have become widespread. Since the explosion of "Anti-Gangster", both TV series and movies have been released continuously in recent years.
You must know that TV dramas and movies still require a bit of shame, but online dramas are completely shameless.
Some online dramas completely apply certain templates and shoot them, and many of them are even plagiarizing "Anti-Gangster", especially Lin Xing's character who once played Zhou Bo.
Now that the theme is 'anti-crimes', there must be a so-called big villain. This big villain must be so bad that he oozes pus, and there must be a scene where the female character is raped, and there may be some blood, such as torture and killing. Competitors, such as bullying small people, etc.
In short, such villains are now facial expressions.
Then there are many online dramas that need some fun dramas, but they may become more and more arrogant in the early stage, and then the villain will be bullied miserably.
In short, the main theme is that the sky has a face, justice will win, and although justice will be absent, it will never be late, etc.
Right from the beginning, during the first year or two of the rise of "Anti-Gangster", people may really like this kind of subject matter and think it is quite enjoyable.
For example, in reality, there are many cases where bridges are repaired and roads are repaired without corpses, and gold belts are used to kill people and set fires.
But later on, these themes became more and more popular, mainly because these production teams became more and more lazy. They even used various templates without using their brains at all.
But Master Guo is different. On the one hand, Master Guo is different from others in filming. He is a quick shooter, one film a year is low, and many times he will even shoot multiple films at the same time.
Another point I mentioned before is that Mr. Guo now mainly uses drama + traffic + good themes, which is the basic base that can maintain the box office.
Just like this time in "A Good Man", almost all the characters are actors, and even the supporting actors are people like Dong Yang.
By the way, as mentioned before, Dong Yang suffered a fracture while filming "A Good Man" and missed "Never Stop".
Precisely because of this, Master Guo felt very sorry for Dong Yang.
You have to know that when Dong Yang heard that Master Guo was going to film "A Good Man", he didn't read the script, didn't discuss the salary, and didn't even ask for any hotel treatment or anything like that when he joined the cast.
The result was not good, it was only four or five days of filming, but something happened right after filming.
This time during the interview at the forum, Master Guo naturally mentioned this matter.
"I think Dong Yang really has the professional attitude that an actor should have. He didn't cheat because he had few roles in "A Good Man". On the contrary, we often discussed how to play this character on the set."
"Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to shoot a one-shot scene, that is, the scene in the orphanage was all shot in one shot."
"The elderly, orphans and other people in the orphanage are all photographed in one shot, and the true darkness of such a place that looks so promising to outsiders is captured."
"Just think about it, almost 30 minutes of scenes are all shot in one shot. How big of a project it is. The filming of such scenes will shock the audience."
"But then I gave up."
…
The person in charge of the dialogue with Master Guo in this forum was Wang Ning, the host of the movie channel. When she listened to Master Guo saying that he wanted to give up, she couldn't help but wonder: "Why???"
"Because I can't."
Master Guo laughed: "This is really difficult."
This made Wang Ning laugh. She really didn't expect Director Guo to say that.
You must know that this forum conversation was broadcast live on the [Movie Channel], and it was precisely because of this that many people in the live broadcast room were also a little happy.
"6666, I saw Master Guo talking so much before, and I thought he was going to brag about what it would look like if he took the picture, but he actually said that he couldn't take it."
"Hahaha, I was amused too. Damn, I just like Master Guo who doesn't show off."
"That's right, if it's photographed, it's photographed. If it's not photographed, it's not photographed. Why bother showing off???"
"I really don't want to offend you, but I have to say that if it were Ouyang Qing, he would definitely not be like this. He would definitely show off and talk about how good he was in one shot, and then he would definitely not say that it couldn't be shot. It would definitely be said that I gave up this for a higher pursuit.”
…
"You're really right, damn, Ouyang Qing can really do it."
"It's a pity that Ouyang Qing didn't come to this Hundred Flowers Award. Otherwise, I think it would have been good for him and Master Guo to hold a round table meeting."
…
Currently, Master Guo maintains the frequency of producing works because of their high quality every year. Although some of his works have been criticized, the overall evaluation is still good.
The box office was good, and Mr. Guo was very respectful of the audience's criticism, and even said that he was learning to gradually adapt to the market.
If nothing else, this attitude of living till you are old and learning is what overwhelms Ouyang Qing.
At present, "A Good Man" is another attempt by Master Guo. He will definitely not be so lazy when filming anti-black films. When asked why he filmed "A Good Man", Master Guo said that he just wanted to try various themes.
Then naturally, the host took the initiative to cut it to Lin Xing. You must know that Lin Xing is the most powerful contender for the Best Actor nomination this year.
"I admire Lin Xing very much as an actor. I have seen his "Sunspot" and it was really not very good. His acting skills are very smart."
"Of course I have the opportunity to collaborate. In fact, I invited Lin Xing when I was filming "A Good Man", but he declined."
"I am preparing a new movie next. This is a fantasy movie in collaboration with Hollywood. I want to invite him to be the male lead. I haven't told him about it yet. This time I will come to the Hundred Flowers Awards. The main thing is to meet with Lin Xing to talk about this matter.”
…
This is quite a revelation.
You must know that Guo Shi's movies are basically what all actors in the industry want to act in. Thirty years ago, many people felt that they were proud to be able to act in Guo Shi's movies.
And even though thirty years have passed, Mr. Guo is still old and strong, and many actors still want to star in his movies.
If nothing else, just look at how many actors participated in the movie "A Good Man".
Actors of all sizes, including old, middle-aged, young and old, and even cross talk, sketches, etc. came to perform.
In Master Guo's words, the real clue to an actor's acting skills lies in the director.
If the director trains well, the actors will be good.
In this aspect, Master Guo is much better than many directors. You are like Ma Hai who was crazy about blaming the blame after the movie "The City Has Fallen" hit the streets during the interview.
He believes that the failure of this movie lies in the use of several popular actors, casting errors, etc.
Although everyone hates Xiao Xianrou, especially when Xiao Xianrou was still in the heyday of his childhood, everyone was proud to scold Xiao Xianrou.
But let me tell you something, although people often criticize Xiaoxianrou, you directed a science fiction movie with such a big IP, and the investment was so high, and now you have rushed to the street and let a few Xiaoxianrou take the blame.
Is this too shameless? ?
Because of this, Ma Hai did not expect that he wanted Xiao Xianrou to take the blame, but in the end he became a joke.
Since "The City Has Fallen", Ma Hai has made a few more movies but there was no spark. Now he has been reduced to only making Internet movies.
You must know that this is because Ma Hai is relatively qualified, so he is so aggressive and can still film. If it were replaced by Diane and others, most of them would not be qualified to film.
Originally, Ma Hai has not been doing very well in recent years. What works did he make in the past? He can even be on an equal footing with Guo Shi.
But now? ?
Internet University, the most discriminated against.
Not only that, he is not qualified to attend some award ceremonies and the like, and can only participate in some less important water awards.
Just like this time for the Hundred Flowers Award, Ma Hai has no qualifications, let alone being a judge, and he is not even a guest of honor.
But Ma Hai has not been idle recently.
He originally felt that he was not to blame for "Magic City Has Fallen" back then. He was the one who took the blame, and he was the one who was truly wronged.
The result was good. Lin Xing said in the previous paragraph that the filming of "Devil Has Fallen" was not very good, so he just wanted to directly diss him.
In Ma Hai's eyes, who do you think you are, Lin Xing? ? ?
You, a junior, dare to criticize me? ? ?
No, taking advantage of the popularity of the Hundred Flowers Awards today, Ma Hai simply said directly on his social platform: "I always feel that the audience has the right to discuss how the science fiction movie "Devil Has Fallen" is... "
Now Ma Hai has learned to be smarter, and unlike Ouyang Qing, he doesn't hit the wall or look back, and even directly says that the audience's level of appreciation is not enough.
Ma Hai respects the audience's criticism, and the audience also has the right to criticize, but you, Lin Xing, do not.
You are really awesome. Did you make "Dead on Earth"? ?
Don't say anything else.
If you really feel that you are the savior, if you really feel that you can save science fiction, then you can make a science fiction movie worth 3 billion.
can you? ? ?
Not to mention, many viewers thought Ma Hai's attack was justified.
Because everyone originally thought that Lin Xing was the one who opened the champagne at halftime.
Now the audience wants to see how Lin Xing responds.
Even if you want to watch Lin Xing’s live broadcast, you can reply to this question.
At the same time, Lin Xingke didn't know that he was scolded by Ma Hai. He was chatting with Wang Ruo'an.
During the last Hundred Flowers Awards, Wang Ruoan said that he hoped to have the opportunity to work with Lin Xing.
Older generation actors like Wang Ruoan are different from other young actors.
They don't care what rank they are in.
Of course, it's not that all the older generation actors don't care, it's just that Wang Ruo'an, who has both virtue and art, doesn't care.
What he is doing now is more about supporting new people, which include both directors and actors.
At the same time, Wang Ruoan always feels that he is also adapting to the market, so he is more willing to cooperate with some young creators.
Wang Ruoan is similar to Master Guo in this regard. If you want to avoid being eliminated by the market, you must keep trying.
"Brother An, it's basically like this."
Lin Xing did not talk about the script or original work of "Death on Earth" at this time. He first brought the preparations for the movie "Death on Earth".
"Look, this is a concept map. This is a space elevator. In this movie, the space elevator is a way to quickly transport outside the atmosphere. This cannot be achieved in real life, but we want to do it in the movie. Science fiction is about thinking about the future. We have had conversations with countless scientists."
"This is the bombing of the moon. In the movie, we want to realize the plan of bombing the moon. This is also asked some experts from the Chinese Science Department."
"Look, this is the golden age experience classroom. This is for students to experience the golden age before."
"This is the space station, which is the international space station used to realize the "Spark Plan."
"And this is the locker room of the planetary engine transport team."
...
Lin Xing prepared this concept map quite well.
He knew that facing someone like Wang Ruoan, all he could do was be simple and direct. You have to let him see that this is a reliable project.
"Underground elevator, underground passage, underground square... planetary engine..."
Lin Xing showed Wang Ruoan almost all the scenes and props of "Death on Earth".
If there were only concept drawings, Wang Ruoan might still have doubts, so Lin Xing also told Wang Ruoan about the current real scene.
"This will be a work that changes the entire science fiction film, and it is not just a science fiction film. I always wonder why Hollywood can make science fiction blockbusters, but we can't make them in China? Why do we always have to accept the Hollywood-style narrative style??"
Lin Xing said: "I just want to make a movie with an authentic Chinese narrative style for this movie. Of course, there may be many difficulties in the future, but if it is not difficult, then such a movie may have appeared earlier. Brother An, I know you have never been afraid of taking risks, and you have always wanted to shoot more different types. So, are you willing to make such a movie that is not optimistic about the outside world, full of difficulties, and even suffers various doubts, but will change Chinese movies? ? ? "
Half an hour later, Lin Xing left Wang Ruoan's room.
Wang Ruoan's agent said to Wang Ruoan with some uncertainty: "Brother An, are you really going to shoot it? Why do I feel like he is a big liar?"
