The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 480
On September 9, in the room next to the theater where the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was going on, Chen Jingxing did not stay in the auditorium, but was discussing something with several heavyweights.

There were only three people, Chen Jingxing, the retired former chairman of China Film Group Qin Zhonghe, and Zhang Hongsen, the deputy director of the Film Bureau.

The topic was the film project of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" that Chen Jingxing had been concerned about.

"Ju Zhang, what does the leader mean... there is no play?"

Chen Jingxing raised his eyebrows, savoring the speech delivered by Director Zhang.

"Instead of simply reproducing the scars of the nation..."

What cannot be avoided in "Three-Body Problem" is the soul character of the whole story - Ye Wenjie.

This impressive "human rape" in science fiction works is undoubtedly the origin of the past events on the entire earth.

Ye Wenjie clearly realized the evil of human beings, and she was extremely disappointed in human nature, she received and replied the message from Trisolaran, thus opening the subsequent magnificent story.

All this left her with indelible pain and despair in her heart, not to mention that behind it was her sister's exposure of her father, and her mother's merciless criticism and condemnation of her father for self-protection regardless of the relationship between husband and wife.

There is no doubt that this plot is very important, and it is the foundation for the arc of Ye Wenjie, the mother of ETO.

When Chen Jingxing launched the "Earth's Past Events" project, he made two-handed preparations.

One is the display and shaping of a complete character arc.

One is to avoid the plot of that special era and switch to an environmental plot.

Because Ye Wenjie's final turning point was reading the book "Silent Spring", which is the bible of modern environmentalism.

Describes the environmental pollution and ecological damage caused by the excessive use of chemicals and fertilizers, and finally brought disasters that are overwhelming to human beings.

So Ye Wenjie's disappointment with human beings includes environmental factors.

But if it is shaped like this, Ye Wenjie's character arc will appear less shocking, and the character will be flatter, and it will also clash with Evans, the second-generation leader of ETO.

Moreover, at that time, the influence of environmentalism in China was not high, and the portrayal of a simple extreme environmentalist fighter would cause disobedience to domestic audiences.

So what Chen Jingxing hopes most is to keep the plot of that special era.

But if it is kept, it will undoubtedly be "exposing the scars".

According to what Zhang Hongsen said, the opinion of the higher-level leader obviously does not support "simple reproduction of the scars of the nation."

"Haha, it scares you." Zhang Ju patted Chen Jingxing on the shoulder: "The leader is supportive."

Chen Jingxing couldn't control his surprise, he exchanged a glance with Qin Zhonghe, and asked, "Really?"

Zhang Hongsen said with a straight face: "I support it in principle, but you have to give me the finalized complete script as soon as possible, and the leaders will hold a meeting to discuss it."

Chen Jingxing nodded. According to the current review requirements, there is no need for the competent department to review the script. You only need to submit a plot summary of one or two thousand words. If there are no problems of principle, you can just file with the Film Bureau. The first review of the Film Bureau is the result of the review piece.

And now he needs to provide a complete script, which is enough to prove that this project is indeed quite special.

This result has already made him overjoyed, and it is not in vain for him and the screenwriter team to revise the script painstakingly.

In the movie version of "Once Upon a Time on Earth", Chen Jingxing made many changes to Ye Wenjie's story line, including setting Ye Wenjie's physicist father to commit suicide at home by taking medicine.

And if the filming is good, it will not even be too weak to the shock that the plot of the original novel brings to readers.

Chen Jingxing's films have always avoided direct violence, gore and cruelty as much as possible. "Fatal Identity" does not have any frontal murder scenes, and it is not a plasma film. Sometimes the direct visual impact is not as good as the side effects. , or the creation of an atmosphere.

After several people chatted for a while, Chen Jingxing, who had put down a big stone in his heart, quietly returned to the auditorium of the awards ceremony.

The technical awards have basically been awarded, and the Best Supporting Actress award is being awarded.

And Chen Jingxing only needed to glance around him to know that DreamWorks was the biggest winner.

A few golden rooster trophies are being hugged by the smiling winners.

The lineup of DreamWorks participating in the Golden Rooster Awards this time is still very strong.

In addition to nominated films such as "Spike II", "The Martian", "Operation Red Sea", "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Ninth District", the main creators of "Inception" also made a team trip The red carpet is eye-catching, even more beautiful than the nominated works.

After all, the Golden Rooster Award is the most watched and top film award in China, and the promotion of "Inception" will naturally not miss this opportunity.

Because Hong Kong Island films are getting weaker and weaker, and because of geographical restrictions, the Hong Kong Film Awards only allow Hong Kong Island films, at least films with Hong Kong Island film companies to participate, so their influence is declining day by day.

In this context, only the Golden Horse Awards for all Chinese-language films can compete with the Golden Rooster Awards.

Even the Golden Horse Award is more authoritative and influential in public opinion than the Golden Rooster Award.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Golden Rooster Awards have been reviewed every two years in the past, but since 17 last year, the Golden Rooster Awards have been changed to be held once a year.

With the rise of DreamWorks in recent years, the influence of the Golden Rooster Awards has completely surpassed that of the Golden Horse Awards.

Because there are high-quality commercial blockbusters participating in the awards every year.

A very paradoxical fact is that although film awards usually emphasize artistry, commercial films are the key to shaping the influence of film awards.

It was at the turn of the century when Oscar had the greatest influence in China. World-renowned commercial blockbusters such as "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings" coated Oscar with a layer of gold.

So far, many Chinese people's impression of the Oscars has stayed at the moment when awards were awarded for commercial blockbusters like "Titanic".

Therefore, although the Golden Horse Award is still the most authoritative and fair award in the Chinese film industry in the eyes of many literary youths, ordinary audiences rarely watch literary films.

The people like to watch good-looking commercial blockbusters and big stars competing for awards, as do sponsors and media.

Therefore, in the field of public opinion, the Golden Rooster Award has undoubtedly overwhelmed the Golden Horse Award in terms of influence and attention.

At this moment when the exposure can be increased, the organizing committee also arranged the leading actors of "The Martian" and "Inception" to an area at the request of DreamWorks, with Chen Jing as the center.

After he returned to his seat, after Wu Yue's soft reminder, Chen Jingxing knew that "Kung Fu Panda" had won the best animation film, and DreamWorks won this award again and again.

"The Martian" won the best sound recording, "The Ninth District" won the best cinematography, and the three trophies have been collected by DreamWorks.

"Director, what are we talking about?"

Lei Jiayin came over and asked softly, Luo Chen and the others who were sitting on the other side of Chen Jingxing also pricked up their ears.

Chen Jingxing, Qin Zhonghe and the leaders of the Film Bureau quietly left their seats, of course they all saw it.

Chen Jingxing applauded the Best Supporting Actress winner with a decent smile, and said, "Talking about the script of the movie, we encountered some trouble in reviewing it."

"Space Part III?"

Lei Jiayin asked excitedly, although according to the usual practice, Chen Jingxing's project is not easy to ask for a role, but now this opportunity is very suitable for discussion.

Chen Jingxing could feel that the actors around him were collectively looking at him.

"Pay attention to the camera." Chen Jingxing didn't hide it deliberately: "It's the script of "Once Upon a Time on Earth"."

Zhou Dongyu was a little surprised: "Isn't "Once Upon a Time on Earth" a TV series?"

"Didn't Director Chen say before that "Once Upon a Time on Earth" is a sci-fi series, with both dramas and movies."

"It's still too early to start filming..."

Lei Jiayin turned the topic to the space trilogy again: "Director Chen, when will the last part of the space trilogy be filmed?"

Before Chen Jingxing could reply, Luo Chen replied, "I'm so greedy, Brother Lei."

"How can this be called insatiable? "Center of the Earth" and "Mars" and I are both male and female protagonists. The trilogy can't talk about inheritance, isn't it Director Chen?"

"The space trilogy is not the same as the "Matrix" trilogy. Your face is tired of watching it in the movie, and the audience is probably tired of watching it."

"Jealous of me, aren't you?"

"Aren't you jealous that you won't be able to get the movie king empty-handed?"

……

"The winner of the 32nd Best Actor Award is - Zhang Yi, "The Ninth District"!"

Luochen's crow's mouth came true.

Chen Jingxing could only suppress his smile, and patted Lei Jiayin, who was already prepared but still unable to hide his disappointment, with some grief.

Lei Jiayin's performance in "The Martian" was not bad, but she was a bit unlucky. She met Zhang Yi from "The Ninth District". In fact, the Golden Rooster Award is not very promising.

After the best actor went to Zhang Yi, the best screenwriter was won by an art film, and the best director was won by Tian Xinye with "The Ninth District". DreamWorks gave birth to the second Golden Rooster Award for Best Director , and broke Chen Jingxing's dream of winning the Golden Rooster Best Director again.

Then the best feature film was also in the bag for "The Ninth District".

In fact, as a film that won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the brilliant harvest of "The Ninth District" did not exceed everyone's expectations. In fact, if "The Ninth District" did not win these heavyweight awards, it would make people feel Strange.

After all, Universal Pictures is planning to make "The Ninth District" the main film for the Olympics early next year.

After the 2018 Golden Rooster Awards ended amid heated discussions on the Internet, the National Day file, which entrusted the leaders of the Film Bureau's hope of catching up with North America in the film market this year, also arrived.
