This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 451 You bid 30 billion first? Are you kidding me?

On August 8, the Popular Hundred Flowers Awards officially began.

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 afterwards.

That was attended by the big names in the industry.

The big shot here refers to the status, and many times such forums invite big shots to speak.

For example, this time we invited Master Guo to participate in the dialogue. You should know that this time at the Hundred Flowers Awards, Master Guo walked the red carpet with "A Good Man".

I have mentioned before that this time Master Guo focuses on nursing homes and welfare institutions, and it is also an alternative anti-gang campaign.

Although there are more and more anti-gang themes in recent years, and it can even be said that they are flooding, since the huge hit of "Sweeping Black Waves", both TV series and movies have been released in recent years.

You know, TV dramas and movies still have some dignity, but online dramas are completely shameless.

Some web dramas completely apply various templates and shoot them, and many of them are even plagiarizing "Sweeping Dark Waves", especially plagiarizing the character of Zhou Bo who was once played by Lin Xing.

Now, if it is a theme of "sweeping away gangs", there must be a so-called big villain. This big villain must be extremely bad, and there must be scenes of raping female characters. There may also be some bloody scenes, such as torturing and killing competitors, bullying small people, and so on.

In short, such villains are now stereotyped.

Then some online dramas require some exciting plots, that is, the villain may become more and more arrogant in the early stage, and then the villain will be bullied badly.

In short, the main theme is that God has a face, justice will prevail, and although justice may be absent, it will never be late, etc.

At the very beginning, when "Sweeping Dark Waves" had just become popular for a year or two, people might really like this kind of subject matter and felt it was quite refreshing.

For example, in reality, there are often no corpses when repairing bridges and roads, but there are gold belts when killing people and setting fires.

But later on, these themes became more and more prevalent, mainly because the 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's way of filming dramas is different from others. He is a quick shooter and can shoot one film a year. Many times he even shoots multiple films at the same time.

Another point I mentioned before is that Master Guo now mainly uses veteran actors + traffic + good subject matter, which is the basic foundation that can maintain the box office.

Just like this time's "A Good Man", almost all the actors are veteran actors, even the supporting roles are people like Dong Yang.

By the way, as I mentioned before, Dong Yang missed "Never Breaking Connection" because of a broken bone he suffered while filming "A Good Man".

It is precisely because of this that Master Guo feels very sorry for Dong Yang.

You have to know that when Dong Yang heard that Master Guo was going to shoot "A Good Man", he didn't even read the script, didn't discuss the remuneration, and didn't even ask for any hotel treatment when joining the crew.

As a result, it was only four or five days of filming, but the accident happened after we finished filming.

During the interview at the forum this time, Master Guo naturally talked about this matter.

"I think Dong Yang really has the professional attitude that an actor should have. He did not cheat because he had a small role in A Good Man. On the contrary, we often discussed how to play this character on the set."

"In fact, at the beginning I wanted to shoot a scene that was shot in one take, that is, the scenes in the welfare home were all shot in one take."

"The film captured the elderly, orphans and other people in the welfare home in one shot, showing the true darkness of a place that looks hopeful to outsiders."

"Just think about it, a scene of almost 30 minutes was shot entirely in one take. What a huge project it was. The audience will be shocked when such a scene is shot."

“But then I gave up.”

……

The person in charge of the dialogue with Master Guo at this forum was Wang Ning, the host of the movie channel. When she heard Master Guo say that he wanted to give up, she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why???"

“Because I can’t.”

Master Guo laughed and said, "This is really too difficult."

This made Wang Ning burst out laughing. She really didn't expect Director Guo to say that.

You should know that this forum dialogue was broadcast live on the [Movie Channel], and that was exactly why many people in the live broadcast room were also quite happy.

"6666, I saw Master Guo said so much earlier, I thought he was going to brag about what it would be like if he took the photo, but he actually said that he couldn't take the photo."

"Hahaha, I was amused too. Damn, I just like Master Guo's non-pretentious style."

"That's right, if it can be photographed, it can be photographed. If it can't be photographed, it can't be photographed. Why bother pretending???"

“I really don’t want to bring down anyone, but I still have to say that if it was Ouyang Qing, he would definitely not be like this. He would definitely show off and say how great he was at shooting in one take. He would definitely not say that he couldn’t shoot it. He would definitely say that I gave up this for a higher pursuit.”

……

"You're really right. Damn it, Ouyang Qing can really do it."

"It's a pity that Ouyang Qing didn't come to this year's Hundred Flowers Awards, otherwise I think it would be great if he and Master Guo had a roundtable meeting together."

……

At present, Master Guo maintains the frequency of producing high-quality works every year. Although some of his works have been criticized, the overall evaluation is still good.

The box office was good, and Master Guo respected the audience's criticism very much. He even said that he was learning and gradually adapting to the market.

Apart from anything else, his attitude of never stopping learning is enough to crush Ouyang Qing.

At present, "A Good Man" can be regarded as another attempt by Master Guo. He will definitely not be so lazy when shooting anti-black films. When asked why he filmed "A Good Man", Master Guo said that he just wanted to try various subjects.

Then naturally, the host took the initiative to CUT Lin Xing. You should know that Lin Xing is the strongest contender for the Best Actor nomination this year.

"I really admire Lin Xing as an actor. I've seen his movie Sunspots, it's really good and his acting is very smart."

"Of course there is a chance to work together. In fact, I invited Lin Xing when I was filming "A Good Man", but he declined."

"I'm preparing a new movie next. It's a fantasy movie co-produced with Hollywood. I want to invite him to play the leading male role. I haven't told him about this yet. This time I came to the Hundred Flowers Awards mainly to meet with Lin Xing to discuss this matter."

……

This is considered a bombshell.

You should know that Master Guo’s movies are basically what all actors in the industry want to act in the most. Thirty years ago, many people felt it was an honor to be able to act in Master Guo’s movies.

Even though thirty years have passed, Master Guo is still in good health, and many actors still want to act in his movies.

If nothing else, just look at how many actors participated in the movie "A Good Man".

Actors of all ages, including the old, middle-aged, young and old, even came to perform crosstalk and sketches. In the words of Master Guo, the real clue of the actor's acting skills lies in the director.

Only when the director teaches well can the actors be good.

In this regard, Master Guo is much better than many directors. For example, after the flop of the movie "The Fall of Devil City", Ma Hai was frantically shifting the blame during an interview.

He believes that the failure of this movie lies in the use of several popular actors and casting mistakes.

Although everyone hates young and handsome guys, especially when they were still at their peak, everyone took pride in scolding them.

But let's be honest, although people often criticize the young actors, you directed a science fiction movie with such a big IP, and the investment was so high, and now it's a flop and you have to let the young actors take the blame.

Isn’t this too shameless?

Because of this, Ma Hai didn't expect that he wanted the young hunk to take the blame, but ended up becoming a joke instead.

Since "The Fall of Devil City", Ma Hai has made several more movies but there was no spark. Now he has fallen to the point where he can only shoot online movies.

You have to know that this is because Ma Hai is more experienced, so he can still make movies even though he is so desperate. If it were Dai An and others before, they would not even be qualified to make online movies.

Originally, Ma Hai had not been doing well in the past few years. What works did he shoot before? He could even be on par with Master Guo.

But now? ?
Online movies are the most discriminated against.

Not only that, he was not even eligible to attend award ceremonies and could only participate in some less important awards.

Just like this year's Hundred Flowers Awards, Ma Hai had no qualifications at all, let alone being a judge or something like that, he didn't even get to be an award presenter.

But Ma Hai has not been idle recently.

He originally felt that he was not to blame for the "Devil's Fall" incident back then. He was the one being blamed and he was the one who was truly wronged.

As a result, Lin Xing actually said something like "The Fall of Demon City" was not well filmed, and he was almost DISSing him directly.

In Ma Hai's eyes, who are you, Lin Xing?

How dare you, a junior, criticize me???
So, taking advantage of the popularity of the Hundred Flowers Awards today, Ma Hai simply said on his social media platform: "I always think that the audience has the right to discuss the sci-fi movie "The Fall of Demon City"..."

Ma Hai has learned his lesson now, and he is not like Ouyang Qing who would not turn back until he hits the wall, and even directly says that the audience's appreciation level is not enough.

Ma Hai respects the audience's criticism, and the audience also has the right to criticize, but you, Lin Xing, don't.

You are really awesome, you made "Death on Earth"? ?
Don't say anything else.

If you really think you are the savior, if you really think you can save science fiction, then make me a science fiction movie worth 30 billion.

Can you???
You know what, many viewers think that Ma Hai’s criticism this time is reasonable.

Because everyone thought that Lin Xing was the one who opened 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 Ruoan.

At 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 about the ranking anymore.

Of course, not all actors of the older generation don’t care, but people like Wang Ruoan, who are both virtuous and talented, don’t care.

He is now more focused on supporting new talents, including both directors and actors.

At the same time, Wang Ruoan always feels that he is adapting to the market, so he prefers to work with some young creators.

In this respect, Wang Ruoan is similar to Master Guo. If they don't want to be eliminated by the market, they must keep trying.

"Ang, that's basically it."

Lin Xing did not talk about the script or original novel of "Death on Earth" at this time. He first brought up the preparation matters of the movie "Death on Earth".

"Look at this concept map. This is a space elevator. In this movie, the space elevator is a way to quickly transport things outside the atmosphere. This is impossible to achieve in real life, but we want to do it in the movie. Science fiction is all about thinking about the future. We have already had conversations with countless scientists."

"This is about blowing up the moon. In the movie, we have to realize the plan of blowing up the moon. We also asked some experts from Chinese Academy of Sciences about this."

"You see, this is the golden age experience classroom. We let students experience the golden age."

"This is the space station, the International Space Station used to implement Project Spark."

"And this is the Planet Engine Team locker room."

……

Tulin Star is quite well prepared for this concept.

He knew that when facing someone like Wang Ruoan, all he could do was to be simple and direct. You had to let him see that this was 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 was only a concept map, Wang Ruoan might still have doubts, so Lin Xing also told Wang Ruoan about the current real scene.

"This will be a work that will change the entire science fiction film industry, and even more than just science fiction films. I always wonder why Hollywood can make science fiction blockbusters, but we in China can't? Why do we always have to accept the Hollywood-style narrative style?"

Lin Xing said: "For this movie, I just want to make an authentic Chinese narrative style movie. Of course, there may be many difficulties in the future, but if it is not difficult, such a movie may have appeared earlier. Brother An, I know that you have never been afraid of taking risks and have always wanted to make more different types of movies. So, are you willing to make such a movie that is not optimistic about the outside world, full of difficulties, and even subject to 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's a big liar?"
