A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 438 Controversial Award

In fact, Dapeng didn't disappear on purpose. He was asking about the news of the National Day movie.

This year's National Day holiday has a total of ten films scheduled for release within the three days from September 9th to National Day, and the competition is extremely fierce.

In addition to Mahua and Huayi, Hong Kong films and Jackie Chan's co-productions are also eyeing the competition.

Dapeng just asked reliable film critics and learned from them that the upcoming "Chasing the Dragon" is unexpectedly good. If Wang Jing is given enough time to polish the film, he will be able to deliver a very good commercial film.

In addition, although the dual male lead drama of "The Foreigner" is not Jackie Chan's usual film style, the completion is still very good, and it is even more attentive than the noisy "Kung Fu Yoga" during the Spring Festival.

After hearing the news, Dapeng was really confused. He never expected that everyone would give up the summer vacation period and rush to compete in the narrow National Day period.

Unlike Huayi, which was scheduled for National Day, then withdrawn for the Lunar New Year, and then moved up for the National Day, Dapeng's film was aimed at the National Day from the very beginning. When he scheduled the release date, there were not so many movies to be released.

Dapeng feels miserable, and in fact, other directors and producers also feel miserable.

This year's schedule is really terrible.

Since the beginning of 2017, the film market has never been quiet.

During the Spring Festival period in January, three movies broke 1 billion yuan.

February and March are the off-seasons for moviegoers, but as a result, "xXx: Return of Xander Cage," "Resident Evil," "Logan," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Kong: Skull Island" came out without a break, blasting away all the domestic films.

By April, domestic films had a chance to catch their breath. "Fast and Furious 8" swept the market, raking in 26 billion yuan at the box office and temporarily taking the annual championship.

May was originally a month for domestic films, but a BUG-level imported film appeared: "Dangal", which was a great success at the box office and in terms of reputation, crushing "Guardians of the Galaxy" which was released on the same day, with a box office of nearly twice that of the latter.

Not to mention June, the traditional death month for domestic films. Even this year's Hollywood schedule was so tight that "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" was squeezed to the end of May to make room for "Wonder Woman" and others.

The result was just as everyone expected. The competition in June was indeed fierce, even more intense than the Spring Festival period.

And in the fierce competition, a monster-level star named Chen Jinnian emerged. His movies surpassed Hollywood blockbusters and broke the 1 billion box office, which was something no one expected.

The reason why Shen Teng was so nervous after learning that Chen Jinnian's new film was scheduled for National Day was because who would dare to schedule a release date with him now?

Can those raised in a zoo and those raised in the wild be the same?

As for the summer vacation season, there is no need to say more. First, "Minions" and "Sun Wukong" were the appetizers, and then "Wolf Warrior 2" swept across the world and unified the martial arts world.

If China Film Group had not used the minimum screening schedule to ensure that "The Founding of an Army" would be released the next day, this tribute film, which mobilized half of the entertainment industry to shoot, might not even have reached a box office of 300 million.

By September, all the squeezed-in movies will be released, and they will be lined up all the way to National Day. It’s not that everyone is flocking to the National Day period, but that this is the only period left for everyone to take a holiday.

When Dapeng came back in a daze, he had only one idea left, he wanted to switch release dates with "Youth". Since the other party changed the release date again and again, couldn't he withdraw it?

Let others squeeze into the National Day box office. He won’t be in it. If there is no place for me here, I will find another place to stay.

Dapeng was not nominated. He did what he thought and said hello to his master before leaving the awards ceremony.

However, Dapeng's move ruined Chen Jinnian.

Nazha didn't know whether she was stimulated by the breakup or possessed by something unclean, but she just sat next to Wang Yidi and refused to leave, chattering about gossip and complaining about her ex-boyfriends.

Lamenting bad luck and meeting the wrong person.

She didn't return to her seat until the party was about to begin.

"How did you two know each other?" Wang Yidi asked immediately after Nazha left.

"During the Chinese New Year, I went to South Africa to film a movie. I just happened to run into their crew filming a variety show."

"Then what?" Wang Yidi asked.

"What's the point? After the filming, I'll just fly back to China and spend the vacation with you." Chen Jinnian spread his hands. Including today, he had only seen Nazha for four days.

We can’t be considered friends, we can barely be considered colleagues who have worked together.

God knows why this silly girl would consult him after breaking up, and she wasn't afraid that he would tell the paparazzi about the breakup.

Huh?

He seems to know how those intimate photos were leaked now. He is so careless and has no defense at all. Can he be more sober? After all, she is an actress who relies on traffic and youth to make a living.

After the scene quieted down, the tedious and lengthy award ceremony officially began.

As a complete outsider, Chen Jinnian felt that some awards were fine, but some awards were just for fun.

Wen Zhang unexpectedly defeated Derek Tsang and won the Best Director Debut Award, which was really surprising. It was too obvious that he was being forced to win.

But when you look at the producers and distributors of "A Long Way to Go", it's no wonder.

The judges, voters and media are all my people. Why do you want to fight me?

However, when Wen Zhang happily went on stage to receive the award, the director on the scene did not cut to Zeng Guoxiang, but instead focused on Chen Jinnian.

Many guests sitting in the front were looking back at Chen Jinnian's position. If the director had not cut to the picture of Chen Jinnian, many people at the scene would not have known that he was there.

Along with the applause, discussions arose at the same time, and many people whispered to each other, discussing the award ceremony.

Including the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, they all frowned, some of them were confused about the situation.

Whether from the perspective of public image or strength, Wen Zhang, as a bad artist who was almost banned, would make people feel dazed when he clinked glasses with the Best Director Debut Award in front of Chen Jinnian.

It was the Chinese Chef Championship. After layers of competition, KFC won the first place with excellent results.

Chen Jinnian also looked confused. He was not confused about not being nominated, because he had not signed up at all. He was confused about what the director meant. He really had no shame and was determined to challenge Wen Zhang to get the position.

Thinking of this, Chen Jinnian took out his mobile phone directly in front of the camera.

Seeing that a live broadcast accident was about to happen, the director decisively cut off the camera aimed at Chen Jinnian. However, before the cut was made, everyone had already seen this scene and were guessing what Chen Jinnian was going to do with the phone.

As for Wen Zhang’s speech on the stage, no one cares about it anymore. If you want to thank someone, just thank them. You are the only one who thanked your family for their support.

The next Best Actor award was undisputed. Brother Chao’s performance was indeed fine. He is currently one of the top male actors in China, and he deserves the title of Best Actor.

Yu Qian was only nominated, but this still made him very happy. It was not a wasted trip as he could show his face.

But the next best actress award has once again sparked public opinion.
