Chapter 616 New Movie

The award ceremony of the first Starlight Awards came to a successful conclusion. The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" won three awards including the most popular actor, the most popular actress, and the most popular supporting actor, as well as two awards including best screenplay and best film music. A small award became the crew that gained the most that night!

And student Xiaolu finally got what he wanted, and won the first heavyweight award in his career as an actor. Although this is a popularity award, there are also professional judges participating, so Xiaolu was really excited when he came on stage. I was so excited that I forgot the acceptance speech I had prepared in advance, so the cute and awkward look made all the fans laugh out loud through the live broadcast!

After the awards ceremony was over, everyone went to the subsequent dinner party. As the crew that had gained the most that night, Ning Sheng and the others were also the focus of all media attention. At the banquet, Ning Sheng was surrounded by some film and television company bosses, who asked him what he would do next. However, Ning Cheng himself had no idea about the next work, so he had to deal with it vaguely.

However, when President Liu of Hantang Film and Television asked if there was a sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story", Ning Cheng glanced at the other party. He remembered that this guy came to discuss the copyright of the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story". Obviously, the same attention was paid to the sequel, but it was just right for Ning Sheng, since he had no idea of ​​making a sequel anyway.

So, he said, "The copyright of the sequel of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can continue to be sold to you, but the conditions are the same as the original "Angels in Thunderbolt". I have to personally review the script. As for the leading actors, the first sequel must still be Liu Shishi and Lu Han. It’s up to you to decide for yourself, whether to replace them or continue to use them, I don’t care.”

Mr. Liu said, "Of course, the audience of "A Chinese Ghost Story" now recognizes the two of them, especially Shishi's Nie Xiaoqian. I'm afraid audiences of other actresses don't recognize them either."

Ning Sheng said, "It doesn't matter, you can make the interval between sequels longer, shoot one in two to three years, and then update the story content, as long as the filming is good, the audience will not stare at an actor. But the first part It’s better to be on the safe side for the sequel, and I don’t want to ruin the brand, so I will write a script for the first sequel, and then participate in the investment, and everyone will do it together, how about it?”

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "With you personally participating, I naturally wish for it. With the pleasant cooperation experience of the "Thunderbolt Angel" series, I believe our future cooperation will be even more enjoyable!"

Ning Sheng also laughed and said, "If you have money, everyone will earn it together. This way, you will be well and everyone will be well."

Mr. Liu raised his glass and said with a smile, "That's right, everyone is really good!"
After finishing the itinerary for the awards ceremony, Ning Sheng immediately went home to continue his life as a baby daddy. Seeing that his little padded jacket became more and more fond of playing with friends and classmates, and no longer clinging to himself like before, Ning Sheng lamented the time As time goes by, I can't help but try my best to compete with Xinxin's friends and classmates, learn to cook for a while, learn to make cakes for a while, and give little princess Xinxin different surprises every day. The little girl is happy, and Ning Cheng himself It is also rapidly advancing towards the bright road of a super chef!

Such a leisurely life, until November of the second half of the year, a domestic film media made a special feature on directors, and selected four directors who made the greatest contribution to film art in contemporary China!

The four directors are Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Cheng Kaige, and Wang Jiawei!
But judging from these four names, you can't see any problems, because these four people are big names in the director industry, and each of them is a frequent visitor to major film awards, such as best director and best film. There is no shortage of heavyweight awards.

However, following various exposures on the Internet, someone raised a question, "Why is there no Ning Sheng?"

When this question came out, many people had a feeling of enlightenment. Before, they always felt that something was weird, but now they understand that in this selection of directors, a director like Ning Sheng who has created countless box office records is not among them?
Regarding the doubts from netizens, the selection media gave the answer: "This selection only selects four people, and everything focuses on artistic contributions, regardless of commercial achievements!"

As a result, some people on the Internet supported it, "This selection is very fair. Although Ning Sheng's commercial box office is very strong, but the single round of artistic achievements, these four are obviously more qualified than Ning Sheng!"

"That's right, it's normal for Ning Cheng to lose in this kind of selection. After all, these four won the Best Director Award at the Golden Tripod Awards, not to mention the awards at major foreign film festivals. trophies, and the one nominated at least five times, but what about Ning Sheng? He won the Starlight Award the most. In the Golden Tripod Awards, he won the most small technical awards. It can be seen that the selection this time is indeed fair. !"

"Art is never measured by money, so get rid of those fans who want to make a name for Ning Sheng and make it clear that Ning Sheng has never been an art director, he is a commercial director, even if he becomes the highest-grossing director in the world, He is still a commercial director, a commercial director who has not won professional and authoritative awards!"

"Ning Sheng belongs to the box office, not art!"

"The selection is very correct. Ning Sheng is not qualified to replace any of them, and he is not even qualified to be tied with them, because he does not have the director trophy of the Golden Tripod Award!"

I don't know when the trend of public opinion has become everyone's ridicule and ridicule of Ning Sheng, especially the media, who had a great time playing it!
At this time, Xingtong Studio and Hantang Film and Television announced at the same time that they had completed a deal on the copyright of the sequel of "A Chinese Ghost Story". The script will be provided for the first sequel, and the two protagonists will continue to participate in the filming of the first sequel, but the specific shooting time will be two years later, because Hantang Film and Television takes over the series and needs to prepare from scratch, not only waiting Ning Sheng's script has to be scheduled with the company's other projects, so if fans want to see the second part, it will take two years to get the chance!

"Look, Ning Cheng is indeed a director who only knows how to make money!"

If it is said that in such an environment of public opinion, the four directors in front are indeed big bosses, even Ning Cheng's fans dare not say that Ning Sheng is better than them, especially in art and awards, so everyone He held his breath, but didn't know how to release it.

Then at this moment, an entertainment newspaper called "Unei Strange Sound" took advantage of this public opinion and released their selection of the top ten directors in China!

"Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Cheng Kaige, Wang Jiawei, Du Qifeng, Cheng Kexin, Jiang Wen, Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Kezhang, Xie Jing!"

This is also a list of outstanding directors in China's film industry from the 80s to the present, and the selection criteria are also artistic and professional awards!
Different from the previous selections, although all of the top ten directors selected this time are directors who have won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Director, they are different from Zhang Yimou and the other four in that they have neither Zhang Yimou nor Feng Xiaogang. With such a skill of both elegance and vulgarity, he can not only make award-winning movies, but also make movies with a very good box office. It is not that Wang Jiawei just specializes in making literary movies. Almost every film he makes will win a series of various awards.

Among the top ten directors, half of them are people that many netizens don’t know at all, or even heard of. But when you check the Internet, you find that this is an old director of 80 years in the last century. Retire!

However, if that's all it is, it's nothing more than an imitation of the previous media, and the newspaper's self-hype for sales. However, when Ning Sheng's fans complained on the Internet, Ning Sheng has created countless records and brilliance for Huaxia movies, but even one When none of the top ten directors could be ranked, a nearly 70-year-old film judge was invited to speak out in this "Unei Strange Voice" media!
"Movie itself is an elegant art, but now some businessmen and people who are full of money insist on making some works that only know how to cater to the audience and cheat money, which is a blasphemy against movies.

Whether a movie is good or not depends on what it expresses, what it shows, how it reflects the society, the characters, and the times, not a clown who just laughs and turns around and forgets!

Recently, there is a young man named Ning Sheng who is very popular in our country. I also heard that he has made many high-grossing movies, and many young people like them, but he has not been nominated for any director or film of the Golden Tripod Award. It has already explained the problem, he is not worthy!

That's right, as one of the judges of the Golden Tripod Awards, I never watch commercial movies that are garish, yelling at people, and letting the audience watch them for nothing. I think, just look at Ning Sheng's previous works , now in his 30s, he still doesn't have a thought-provoking work. I think he may be able to make everyone happy. As for the art of film, if you don't have that talent, don't think about it!
As for what those fans said was unfair, Ning Sheng should be included in the top ten directors. I think that if he enters the top ten directors, Huaxia's movies will really be over. When art is completely surrounded by impetuous and useless business, Huaxia's movies will die Will usher in his own death! "

As soon as this report titled "Ning Sheng Accelerates the Death of Chinese Movies!" was published, it immediately exploded on the Internet!

Ning Sheng's fans couldn't bear it any longer, they all protested at the bottom of the report, demanding an apology, and some even ran to the front of the newspaper office to protest and demonstrate!

However, for the newspapers that have always been black and black, such a thing is exactly what they wish for. The reporters are very motivated to report any troubles about this matter at any time, although many media refute it They feel that this report is too extreme, especially the elderly who are the judges, it is very irresponsible to say these words!
"Ning Sheng's contribution to Huaxia Film is obvious to all, and movies have never just belonged to literary films. No matter in which country in the world, literary films are just a category of movies. However, the most popular films for the world's audience have always been commercial films. Commercial films I don’t know if the prosperity of the movie industry will kill the movies, but when the commercial movies disappear and there are only literary movies, I’m sure the so-called movie and TV boom will definitely die!”

When the public opinion became bigger and bigger, fans rushed to Ning Cheng's Weibo to speak out, asking Ning Cheng to stand up and fight back. Finally, Ning Cheng, who had been silent for many days, updated his Weibo news!
"Commercial movies are also movies. If you don't watch them, it's because you can't understand them, and you can't keep up with the trend. You're out, old man!"

In just one day, this Weibo received more than [-] million likes and more than one million retweets, and soon the old man confronted Ning Sheng on the "Unei Strange Voice" newspaper, "Wait when you get it?" Only after winning the Golden Tripod Award for Best Director or Best Film are you qualified to comment on the affairs of the film industry!"

On the day the newspaper was published, Ning Cheng updated on Weibo, "What if I win these two awards?"

The old man said in the newspaper the next day, "If you really win the two awards of the Golden Tripod Award, then my old man will retire and quit the film industry, and admit that he doesn't understand movies and is behind, but what if you can't get it? Or are you going to work hard until you are 80 years old, and you are going to drag me to death?"

Ning Sheng responded on Weibo, "If I don't win the Golden Tripod Award for Best Director and Best Film within three years, I will quit the film industry, and I will never touch the director again in this life!"

Wow——
As soon as Ning Cheng said this, the entire movie circle exploded!The entire entertainment industry is going crazy!

Ning Tong, Shi Shi, Ying Bao, Ding Xuan and other relatives and friends called Ning Cheng to calm down. However, Ning Cheng was indeed not calm at this time, but he was not popular, but because of this bet, he was originally lazy. My life seems to have passion again!
Speaking of it, he has been making movies for so long, and he has never won the highest award for Chinese directors, the best director and best film awards of the Golden Tripod Awards. Now, taking this opportunity, he won these two awards in one fell swoop , can be regarded as the completion of a director's highest goal.

In the future, when Xinxin introduces herself to her friends, she can not only say "My father is the highest-grossing director in the world", but also "My father is one of the best directors in the world!"

Well, Ning Cheng thinks about it, shouldn't he work hard to get rid of this one?
Otherwise, with this one, I always feel that the momentum and grade will drop all of a sudden, and if there is no one, only one sentence "My father is the best director in the world!" sounds very powerful, and I am very proud of it!
Ning Cheng turned off the non-stop ringing phone and threw it aside, then lay on the rocking chair and imagined how his daughter would proudly talk about him as a father when she grew up, and what kind of face he should put on every now and then , No, what kind of POSS is it?There was a smile on the corner of Ning Cheng's mouth. If he was wearing sunglasses, others would think that he was thinking about some important issue, or got some wonderful inspiration, but they would not know that he was flirting with his future great image in the eyes of his daughter!
Of course, now that the bet has been formed, what kind of work will Ning Sheng make next?The media and fans across the country are paying attention, and old friends like Hantang Film and Television are also waiting for the cooperation of the new project, but, one day, two days, three days, a week has passed, and Ning Sheng has not moved!

This is fucking funny, could it be that Ning Cheng forgot about the bet?
