Chapter 628 There is an expert in the live broadcast room
"Liu Dehua won the 16th China Film Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actor."

"Bai Baihe won the 16th China Film Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actress."

"."

All the Huabiao Awards have been announced.

Then we entered the next stage. After all, the full name of this year's Huabiao Awards is the Chinese Film Huabiao Awards and the Chinese Film New Force Chinese Film Tribute Ceremony to the 95th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China.

The Huabiao Awards and China Film New Force were jointly held for the first time, and the launch ceremony of the "New Force" at this ceremony naturally had extraordinary significance.

"Next, please welcome Mr. La Peikang, Chairman of China Film Co., Ltd., Mr. Li Mu, Chairman of Mengying Media Co., Ltd., and Bona."

The host mentioned the names of the big names in the industry one by one.

"Please invite them to light up the starlight ball together and join forces to unlock the 'new power'!"

La Peikang, Li Mu, Yu Dong, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao went to the center of the stage together.

At this time, the long table that had been hidden on the stage had been revealed, and on it happened to be six light balls.

"Please place your right hand on our ball of light."

Following the host's call, Li Mu and others smiled, then put their right hands on it, and then the star ball emitted a bright and brilliant light.

This also means that the "New Power" promotion unit has officially started.

2 films including "Operation Red Sea", "Warrior", "Cold War 14", "Big Fish and Begonia", "Rock Mastiff", "Skiptrace", "Railroad Tigers" and "Kung Fu Yoga" were highlighted.

Then they appeared on the screen one after another.

Everyone in the audience applauded.

"Okay, thank you all, bosses, for your hard work."

Then came the performance session.

"Now, please welcome Wang Baoqiang to bring us a wonderful Indian dance show"

"Now, please welcome Bao Beier and Song Jia to perform together."

Because "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2" was also on the recommendation list, Wang Baoqiang came back from the crew to perform a talent he learned in India.

This year, the Huabiao Awards are of great glory.

However, no matter how grand the ceremony is, it will eventually come to an end, as the host announces the last part.

The veteran director sent words of encouragement to the new directors, which excited the audience before the live broadcast.

"Please welcome Director Li Mu, Director Wong Kar-wai, and Director Jiang Wen to the stage."

"Why do I feel like this is a bit of a show-off session?"

"With Jiang Wen here, even if it's not, it becomes yes."

"This session is interesting. Let's see if the host has any interesting questions. Otherwise, just sending a message would be a bit boring."

At this time, Li Mu, Wong Kar-wai and Jiang Wen, who were standing on the stage, were still being humble.

"Director Wang, how about you come first?"

"No, Director Li, you go first."

"Why don't we let Director Jiang come?"

"."

The three of them pushed each other and performed a talk show first.

Everyone laughed out loud.

In the end, Li Mu came first, but he did not finish his message directly. Instead, the host guided him.

"Director Li Mu, you have made more than ten films. Can you give some advice to young filmmakers on how to avoid taking detours?"

“Growth is a natural thing. This is a new industry in China and this is the beginning of a golden age.

How do young people take over?

I think anything that wants to be touching and established has its own natural power. Growth itself needs to be nurtured, and young people should allow themselves to be nurtured.

I encourage you not to rush for quick success, this world is very tempting, and many things are not within your reach. "

After Li Mu finished speaking, he thought for a moment and continued, "The market is good now, and everyone is vying for attention. It's easy to give people the impression that you are trying to make money by doing business.

For young seedlings, the industry will force their growth, which may lead to bubbles and star-making. Film resources are unevenly distributed and everyone is scrambling for stars, but scrambling for stars is actually a trap.

Once you have secured the stars and the market is secured, all you have to do is deliver the goods. However, if the production costs are unevenly distributed and there is no money for production, you are doomed to not be able to make a good movie.

I hope everyone can seize this 'golden age', enter a virtuous cycle, and lay a good foundation for the future."

After Li Mu finished his speech, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

The star trap is now like a double sword. If you don't hire stars, there may be no traffic and no box office guarantee, but if you hire them, you will spend too much money, and most people will have little money left for production.

Now that Li Mu has pointed it out, everyone knows what is going on.

Some young directors also nodded subconsciously. In fact, they really couldn't hire anyone, so they might as well do as Li Mu said and put their hopes on the production. Maybe it would work.

"Okay, thank you Director Li for your speech. It is also a warning to us young filmmakers not to rush!"

Then Wong Kar-wai talked about the relationship between capital and movies. Jiang Wen's impromptu expression was more interesting, and he also complained about the censorship.

“I am 53 years old this year, and I have many genuine veteran artists under me. I can be regarded as the young people’s undercover agents among the veteran directors, and the veteran directors’ undercover agents among the young people. I want to remind the young people to just go ahead and shoot whatever they want to shoot.

I found that there was no need for censorship at all. You see, I wouldn’t say anything even if there was no censorship.”

People who were familiar with Jiang Wen were holding back their laughter at this moment, including Li Mu on the stage.

That’s because there is an audit. If there is no audit, Jiang Wen would be able to directly shoot out metaphors.

As the host spoke the last topic, everyone on and off the stage fell silent.

Because the topic is "Box office is about to surpass the United States, what are the things missing to become the 'boss'?" Even the big gun Jiang Wen was thinking about it.

Obviously, this topic seems to be asked deliberately. I guess some leader wants to hear everyone's opinions.

"Chinese culture is much older than American culture. Eastern people have their own feelings and ways of expression, but they have not yet become a world language, so we have to think about what we can offer to the world.

I also think that the United States is like the government of the late Qing Dynasty, also very rigid, but they have good things worth learning.

Don’t look down on technology, because film is a profession. I hope that now is the beginning of the golden age. Making movies is a cultural thing. Please be patient and give it some time, okay? "

Li Mu’s answer was very simple, it was just a lack of time and some thinking.

But he didn't say it directly, after all, it would be bad to talk about it out loud.

"What Li Mu said is quite philosophical."

“It will take time to surpass the United States. We have accumulated enough culture, but we haven’t figured out what to offer to the world. In fact, we haven’t fully exported our values.”

"Thanks for the above interpretation. There is an expert in the live broadcast room."

"."

"it is good!"

At the same time, the word "good" was mixed in with the applause from the audience at the award ceremony, and many people were whispering, obviously discussing something.

Several bigwigs from the General Administration sitting in the middle also nodded, obviously approving of this answer.

When Li Mu and Liu Yifei returned, they both felt quite tired.

There are indeed too many processes and they are cumbersome.

However, the Huabiao Awards became the absolute headline of that day and the next day.

"Summary of the 16th Huabiao Awards: Chicken soup is everlasting, pork is everlasting, and the award once again shows Taigong's pork!"

"The 'New Force' promotion unit has been launched, 2 films including 'Operation Red Sea', 'Cold War 14' and 'Big Fish and Begonia' have been recommended, including three films by Jackie Chan"

"Li Mu sends a message to new directors, advising young filmmakers not to rush, grabbing stars is a trap!"

"Li Mu said that now is the beginning of the golden age. Making movies is a cultural thing. Please be patient and give it some time."

"."

With the end of the Huabiao Awards, there are no more major events in the circle in June.

The television industry is a little more lively.

Yang Mi's "Dear Translator" had average ratings, but it was the most discussed.

This domestic drama, which was once advertised as "the first industry drama in China focusing on advanced translation", has seen a decline in reputation on major social platforms, and even "mutated" into "The Domineering Translator Falls in Love with Me", and its Douban score is only 5.2 points.

"In the name of an industry drama, but in reality a love drama", this drama is full of flaws.

Li Mu also often heard Liu Yifei mentioned, and often discussed and complained about her with Shu Chang.

However, what puzzled Li Mu was that even though he complained about it, he would still watch it when it was time.
Just like that, July came quietly.

The competition in July is much more terrifying than that in June, with a total of nearly 7 domestic and overseas works scheduled to be released.

The most anticipated ones are the two animations in early July.

Nowadays, propaganda is in full swing.

At the same time, Wu Yifan's incident seemed to have passed.

Then a piece of news caught the eyes of Li Mu and other bigwigs in the film and television industry.

Hong Kong Xingrui Culture Media Co., Ltd., founded by Wu Yifan's mother, quickly signed a contract with Qi Jianhong's Yaolai Film and Television.

Yaolai Films will be the sole agent and overall responsible for Wu Yifan's advertising, film and other performing arts affairs in mainland China.

Obviously this is the price Wu Yifan needs to pay this time.

"It's really good to have capital to protect you."

Ning Hao and others were in Li Mu's office, commenting with a sigh of relief.

"Brother Bo is going to bring out the stories he has told over the years?"

Li Mu smiled. Several people came together for this matter.

"Director Li, you said that several years ago."

Huang Bo still remembers what Li Mu said at that time, "I asked Lao Ning and Lao Xu to help me check the script, so there shouldn't be any big problems."

"Old Huang's story is really good!"

Ning Hao nodded, "A few days ago on the Huabiao, he told me that I helped him check it later and it can be polished!"

"This script is interesting. Would you like me to act in it for you?"

Xu Zheng became concerned about the actors in this movie and started to make plans.

"I've already polished one, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you again."

Huang Bo patted Xu Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Next time, come to me when you make a movie."

"Damn, you came up with a good idea!"

"I have submitted this story. Let's take it to the General Administration for project approval first."

Li Mu had already agreed to it, so he naturally would not regret it. He said directly, "If you want to invest and have confidence, you can invest a little."

"Hey, that's a must. How can a director lose confidence first?"

Huang Bo agreed immediately. He had to invest some money no matter what. It was not like he couldn't afford to lose money.
