This star is too fierce

Chapter 443 High box office does not mean high level

"The Golden Dragon Award owes Zhang Sheng a best director!"

Every time the Golden Dragon Award shortlist is announced and after the award ceremony, this topic will be raised on the Internet.

This time it was even more outrageous, and it went directly to the hot search.

I don't know if it's because of the deep resentment of movie fans for Zhang Sheng's failure to win the best director for "Inception".

This caused the topic to become much hotter than before.

Who would have thought that when the shortlist for this year's Golden Dragon Awards was announced, the hottest topic would be Zhang Sheng.

Generally, when the shortlist is announced, the one who gets the most attention is probably the actor and actress.

Zhang Sheng seems to have changed this.

Last year, a movie he didn't direct was released.

In other words, as a director, he didn't participate in any works at all.

Of course, there are also many films written by screenwriters.

And the box office is amazing.

He was once again shortlisted for the Best Original Screenplay Award, and the topic is still not small.

Many people think that he has a great chance of winning this award again.

Perhaps it is also because of this that the topic of his "director" is so hot.

The finalists for "The Truman Show" are actually not amazing, at least in terms of number compared with "Inception".

Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi did not stay abroad for long.

Although nothing happened after returning home.

However, some people still need to send their invitations in person.

"When will your new film be released?" Jiang Bin asked about Zhang Sheng, and said, "Is there hope for the next Golden Dragon Award? Now you are expected by everyone! No film can be released, and there are fans who complain about you. The director does this. It's worth it."

"A commercial blockbuster." Zhang Sheng said, "Do you think it is possible to win an award?"

"Isn't "Inception" just shortlisted?" Jiang Bin said, "That movie is also a commercial blockbuster."

"You also said that it was only shortlisted." Zhang Sheng said, "'Transformers' is undoubtedly more pure than 'Inception'. To put it bluntly, it is a popcorn movie."

"Your fans have to make a fuss twice a year for the Golden Dragon Awards." Jiang Bin said, "You don't have any works to participate this year, so they all have to make a fuss."

Row twice?

The shortlist was announced, and there was a commotion.

The award ceremony is over, and there will be another fuss.

"What can I do? I'm also very helpless!" Zhang Sheng said, "Director Jiang, you don't think I instigated those things, do you?"

"That's not enough." Jiang Bin shook his head and said.

Naturally, the Golden Dragon Awards jury would not be so foolish as to think that Zhang Sheng would incite fans to riot.

To incite, at least incite after being shortlisted, that can still create momentum.

"Later, bring the script back." Jiang Bin said, "If you have any ideas, you can discuss them."

"You are not afraid of being the same as last time." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

Although I haven't read the script yet, as I said before, there are not many scenes.

It's not even a supporting role, at most it's a friendly cameo.

For this kind of role, the possibility of getting the script in advance is actually not great.

Before many movies are shot, the actors don't get the script.

Even when shooting, the actors didn't get all the scripts.

"You think I'm stupid?" Jiang Bin pouted.

The last time I was too concerned, I almost broke the script when I couldn't catch it.

With the lesson from last time, how could Jiang Bin be unprepared this time.

Too much inspiration is not a good thing.

Of course, there is another reason.

Zhang Sheng is not the protagonist this time, even if he raises opinions, the overall impact on the film should be limited.

"Put my role in the back!" Zhang Sheng thought for a while and said, "After I come back, I'll probably be busy with the promotion of "Transformers"."

Jiang Bin's new film will be released in early June, and "Transformers" will be released in early July.

During the publicity period, maybe a week can't be spared.

But the question is, is it really only a week?
Zhang Sheng couldn't guarantee it, and Jiang Bin obviously couldn't guarantee it either.

It's too normal to temporarily add drama or something.

Especially for Jiang Bin, it is normal to temporarily add or change scenes.

Hearing Zhang Shengzhi's words, Jiang Bin nodded with a smile.

Of course he was so happy.

After returning home, looking through the script, Zhang Sheng did not have many roles.

However, Zhang Sheng was skeptical that he wanted to finish filming in a week.

Even if he concentrated on filming his scenes.

Did you fall for it?

Not really.

From the very beginning, Zhang Sheng never thought that he would really only shoot for a week.

That guy already has a criminal record.

First trick people into the crew, and then fool around.

Jindu joined the crew, who really patted his ass and left?
"Director Jiang should invest a lot in this movie, right?"

Gu Sisi, as the heroine, naturally got the script, and it was before Zhang Sheng.

The investment can also be seen from the script.

It's just that the exact number is not clear.

"It's not very big." Zhang Sheng said, "It looks like [-] to [-] million."

Six or seven billion?not very big?

But think about it, Zhang Sheng seems to be really qualified to say this.

The investment of [-] to [-] million yuan is worse than that of "Transformers", let alone "Inception".

But if this is placed in China, it is definitely a top blockbuster.

"How much did Changsheng Entertainment invest?" Gu Sisi asked.

With such an investment, the box office will not exceed 20 billion, and it will be difficult to pay back.

Moreover, the box office of Jiang Bin's films abroad is not very good, almost entirely supported by the domestic box office.

Is there any risk?

There must be.

It's just that Jiang Bin's box office appeal and ability are there, and the risk is much smaller than other directors.

"More than 1 million." Zhang Sheng said, "Director Jiang's films are not short of investment, and it's not bad to get one-fifth of the share."

Gu Sisi nodded.

Huanna Entertainment's investment share is not as good as Changsheng Entertainment.

There is no chance to cast more.

Some of their votes are actually pretty good.

This is the case in the circle.

Some investors have too many investors to compete for.

Some fail to attract investors.

In fact, it is not Jiang Bin, but Zhang Sheng who is most in need of investment nowadays.

However, Zhang Sheng's movie investment is mostly in Changsheng Entertainment.

And Jiang Bin basically does not participate in the investment.

In his words, using other people's money to make their own movies is the smart choice.

Changsheng Entertainment can get one-fifth of the investment share, not because of the personal relationship between Zhang Sheng and Jiang Bin, but because Changsheng Entertainment now holds the second largest theater chain in China.

Zhang Sheng missed the music festival awards ceremony because he took wedding photos abroad.

Again he didn't participate.

However, he participated in the Golden Eagle Award Ceremony as an award presenter.

At the end of the awards ceremony, some media asked Zhang Sheng about the topic of "The Golden Dragon Award owes Zhang Sheng a best director".

"Director Zhang, there are so many movie fans around complaining about injustice, is it because the movies you directed have high box office and great influence?"

Why are so many movie fans complaining about Zhang Sheng.

This is indeed related to the high box office of Zhang Sheng's movies and their great influence.

Of course, the key is probably that those movies have a good reputation.

"Maybe." Zhang Sheng said, "However, what I want to say is: a high box office does not mean a high level. The box office is determined by many factors, such as the viewing environment, such as the cast, such as the quality of the script, such as the publicity work. wait."

"I didn't win the award. In addition to the fact that my level may not be enough, it has nothing to do with the film itself." Zhang Sheng said, "It's unnecessary to complain about me. The Golden Dragon Award is the same as the Golden Eagle Award in terms of fairness and justice. , without a doubt.”

At the Golden Eagle Awards, you can't always talk about the Golden Dragon Awards.

However, Zhang Sheng's words were not against his will.

The three major domestic awards have done a good job in terms of fairness and justice.

Of course, if you say it's absolutely fair, that's definitely not possible.

Nothing can be absolutely fair.

It might be nice to be relatively fair.

The three major awards, the music festival has only been held for a few years.

Authoritativeness is also increasing.

It should not follow in the footsteps of previous music awards.

And this award is now the most influential Chinese music award.

But the Golden Eagle Award and the Golden Dragon Award can last forever, if there is something shady, I am afraid they will not have the influence they have today.

Zhang Sheng was really upset that he didn't win the award, but he really didn't have any complaints, he felt it was unfair.

To lose is to lose.

He doesn't question fairness just because he loses.

Shortly after the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony arrived.

Zhang Sheng has been shortlisted for awards, so he will naturally not be absent.

Of course, the main reason is that he has a lot of free time during this period.

On the red carpet, Zhang Sheng did not walk with Gu Sisi, but with Liu Yuan, the director of "The Truman Show".

"Best director or best picture, which award do you think is more likely to win?"

As soon as he sat in his seat, Liu Yuan couldn't help asking.

"Which one do you want?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"Why do you have to take which one? Why do you have to choose?" Liu Yuan asked with a puzzled face, "When you encounter such a situation, don't you want to take both?"

"Then why don't you ask if the chances of getting both are high?" Zhang Sheng said with a curled lip.

If you don't ask like that, how can I ask like that?

It's you who makes the choice first.

"Is it possible to get both?" Liu Yuan asked with a smile.

"Not big!"

Zhang Sheng asked simply.

Although "The Truman Show" is eye-catching, it is not without rivals.

The development of Chinese films in recent years is still amazing.

There are many good films, not only fierce competition in each schedule, but also the competition for the Golden Dragon Award.

The two awards of best picture and best director rarely appear in the same film.

"What about the chances of not getting both?" Liu Yuan said, "Is it too big?"

"Probably not." Zhang Sheng said, "Your film is still very popular. As for the best director and best film, it's really hard to say. If I were a judge, I should vote for the best film .”

"Why?" Liu Yuan asked.

If you ask him which award he wants to win, it must be Best Director.

This award belongs to him, but the best award belongs to the whole team.

"Maybe it's because the box office of this movie is high!" Zhang Sheng said after thinking about it.

Liu Yuan was silent.

Zhang Sheng's reason was far-fetched.

But he couldn't refute.

This seems to be the case with "Inception" and many other films before.

The best director prefers literary films, and the best film inevitably favors films with great influence.

As long as a literary film does not win awards abroad and hits the box office, it will naturally have little influence.
