I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 267 Nomination for Huabiao Award
"Brother Jin, walk slowly!"

Tian Yusheng got out of the car and waved to Chen Jin.

This time he took the opportunity to hand over a script, and it went much more smoothly than he had imagined. Not only did he get investment, he was also asked to direct.

Until now, Tian Yusheng still feels a little dizzy, as if he is dreaming.

"Then report to the crew tomorrow!"

Chen Jin did not forget to give instructions, and Tian Yusheng nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I will definitely come!"

Of course, he would love such an opportunity to learn.

Mainly because "Ex-Files" became "Love Is Not Blind 3", he had to observe and learn the entire filming of "Love Is Not Blind" so that the filming could be seamless when the time comes.

In the same series, changing directors is actually a taboo, as it is not easy to maintain the style.

Therefore, the shooting techniques and editing should be kept as consistent as possible with the style of the series.

The story is the same, but the effect will be different due to different shots and editing.

"Just because the script is well written, you think highly of him?"

After the car drove out, Guo Xun couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

“It’s more than just a script!”

"I'm attracted to his screenwriting studio, which has a lot of talented people!"

Chen Jin knew what Guo Xun meant. Guo Xun shook his head and said, "But I still feel it's not appropriate to rush into the project like this. After all, he has never been a director before... If he messes up, it will affect the reputation of our entire series!"

Lao Guo is still responsible.

After all, the "Broken Heart" series is now his masterpiece, so of course he takes it seriously.

"Don't you still have it?"

Chen Jin was smiling there, of course he couldn't say that Tian Yusheng had proved his strength in the future.

"Preparing for The Wandering Earth, and occasionally relaxing and visiting the crew!"

"You can't be a producer for nothing!"

Chen Jin has plans for an autobiographical film in the future, but he will obviously also be in charge of shooting and editing.

"Then you might as well let me guide you..."

How is this different from being a director?
"no the same!"

"Director, you have to concentrate on it. Just check the shooting progress and the screen regularly. You don't need to worry about the editing. We will do it together when the time comes!"

"Lao Guo!"

Chen Jin felt it necessary to raise his horizons: "You have to put your energy into science fiction!"

"Love Broken" is a thing of the past!

"It feels like I'm preparing now!"

Guo Xun said angrily, "The filming of "Love Broken 2" hasn't been completed yet!"

"I want to support a new director!"

"You can't be the only director in DSC, and you will be working in the science fiction industry in the future, so your burden will be even heavier than it is now!"

Chen Jin came close to Guo Xun and whispered, "Actually, I didn't choose this director randomly. Xu Zheng is definitely not a reliable person. Investment is investment, but he will definitely not stay if he becomes famous!"

"But Tian Yusheng is different. He urgently needs works to prove himself!"

"We have the IP of Lovelorn. Lovelorn 3 is a big hit. If he wants to make Lovelorn 4, he has to cooperate with us. Smart people know how to choose!"

But after Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand" became a hit, he basically chose to work alone.

This is why Chen Jin likes to invest in new directors.

“Isn’t Xu Zheng’s new movie also from the Lost on Journey series?”

"Yes, that's why it's not safe!"

"We don't have this IP in our hands. We are currently working with Huaqi. We can be sure that there will be no problems with the next one. If Xu Zheng's new work becomes popular, Huaqi will definitely not buy it..."

For many things, there is no problem in cooperating at the beginning because the benefits are not that great.

But "Lost in Thailand" broke the record for Chinese-language films. How could Huaqi share such a hot commodity with Film Science?

Anyone would choose to keep it all for themselves.

Xu Zheng’s voice at that time will definitely be different from what it is now.

"Tian Yusheng's ability as a screenwriter is beyond doubt, especially his Holy Temple Studio!"

"You've read the script just now. They wrote the script for Lost on Journey. One script might be a stroke of luck, but two scripts, this is not just luck!"

"really!"

Guo Xun admitted this: "The book just now was really well written and very interesting!"

Even he, a director, admitted that this was a good script.

Anyone with a little vision can actually see it.

With good lines and humor, this low-budget movie is halfway to success.

"So, take a gamble!"

"I can rest assured that Love Is Not Blind 3 will be filmed according to his script!"

“If the Lovelorn series succeeds, we won’t have to worry about it anymore; if it fails, the series won’t suffer any loss, we just need to polish Lovelorn 4 again!”

“This is already the smallest risk!”

What could be a more cautious way to test a new director? !

If it succeeds, he will be a profitable director. If it fails, the box office won't be too bad. It's just that the reputation will collapse. "Love Broken 3" has the previous two "Love Broken" films as a foundation, so it will definitely not lose money.

"If it succeeds, the scripts will be so popular!"

Guo Xun was smiling and admitted that he was persuaded by Chen Jin.

And if Tian Yusheng also rises in the future, Chen Jin’s status as “the first venture capitalist among new directors” will be completely solidified.

Investing in Guo Xun may be due to Guo Xun’s own abilities, Chen Jin is just lucky.

But if Tian Yusheng can also sell well at the box office, then it is not just Tian Yusheng's personal strength, but Chen Jin's vision in judging people and investing. This will make many new directors in this industry send their scripts to Film Science for investment.

That would be the grand occasion that Chen Jin most hoped to see.

Wen Muye is actually also in this category of new directors.

This is more convincing than Liu Dehua's previous Asian Rising Star Director.

And this is exactly the future cooperative system of film science.

Many new directors under the company work together to support the film industry.

This is actually a bit like the producer-centered system in Hollywood, with Chen Jin being the most central producer; but what is different from Hollywood is that Chen Jin is also the boss, and has system assistance, so the selection of directors is even more powerful.

"take it easy!"

"Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. Investing in Tian Yusheng is actually investing in myself!"

“If we succeed, CETC will truly have investment voice and visibility in the industry!”

Just like Light Media in the original timeline.

But compared to Guangxian, Dianke will definitely develop better, because Chen Jin knows which movies will be hits and which will flop; and Guangxian actually suffered a lot of losses from its investments.

He achieved a scale of hundreds of billions.

Chen Jin's requirements are not high. Just hope it can be 10 times larger than it is, with a market value of one trillion yuan, and compete with the six major Hollywood companies.

Guo Xun didn't know that Chen Jin had such an ambition, but Chen Jin's trust in the new director made him have a new understanding of Chen Jin; this guy didn't seem to care much about money at all.

Because from beginning to end, Chen Jin never talked about money. The director he chose was really willing to spend money.

There is absolutely no need for others to share the investment risk. Perhaps this is the unique courage of young people?
Guo Xun could only think so.

The car sped all the way to the hotel near Beijing Film Academy, and Chen Jin finally had time to send a message to Han Jianu.

On the first day of its release, The Founding of a Party earned 7860 million yuan, ranking third in the first-day box office list of Chinese films, second only to Let the Bullets Fly with 8000 million yuan and Love Is Not Blind with over 33 million yuan. Pre-sales for tomorrow have exceeded 1 million yuan, so if nothing unexpected happens, it should also earn 3000-7000 million yuan in a single day.

It won’t be a problem to earn 2 million in the first weekend.

This is definitely much better than the box office growth of "The Founding of a Party" in the original timeline.

Chen Jin checked the original box office curve of "The Founding of a Party". It took in 1.2 million yuan in the first weekend, and it is very likely to have doubled now.

In the second week, the box office of "The Founding of a Party" also grew very well, with only a slight drop on Monday. It lasted for almost two weeks and earned 2 million in three weeks.

"Then we can still break the box office record for domestic films!"

To surpass "Let the Bullets Fly", as long as it gets over 6 million in the first three weeks, there is hope.

Since there will be student organizations and other organizations organizing the film viewing later, Han Sanpin is definitely going to aim for a record-breaking performance.

This is not just a record, but also the achievement of China Film Group.

The previous film "Founding of a Republic" broke the new box office record for domestic films!

Now that the second film has succeeded again, Han Sanpin’s position in the film industry will be even more unshakable.

Unfortunately, Mr. Han is nearly 60 years old and will have to retire in two years.

Chen Jin must take advantage of these two years to consolidate his position and get the distribution business done; when Old Han retires, he will have the confidence to negotiate with the new head of China Film.

These are all things that need to be prepared for a rainy day.

Although Lao Han has retired but is still in China Film, his work is definitely getting worse every year.

……

The next morning, Chen Jin arrived at the set and saw Tian Yusheng helping to move props.

"Xiao He, how long has he been here?"

Chen Jin pulled the stage manager aside and asked.

"He came early in the morning, gave each of us a cigarette, and helped Master Zhang and his team set up the set!"

Xiao He's stage manager was talking there, and he smiled and said, "Brother Jin, he said you asked him to come for internship?"

“Yes, I learned directing from Lao Guo!”

"Oh, then I have to build a good relationship with him..."

Xiao He is also very smart. This is an opportunity to make friends with new directors. It's not that he will betray Guo Xun or anything, but he can make more money by getting to know some directors.

In this industry, personnel changes are very rapid.

"You are a very pragmatic new director!"

When Guo Xun saw Chen Jin, he couldn't help but speak.

He obviously saw Tian Yusheng working there and told him that he didn't need to do that, but Tian Yusheng was busy on the crew, not knowing whether he was just pretending or just had nothing to do.

Guo Xun ignored him.

In fact, many directors started out as script supervisors or production managers, so it is not a big problem for him to do so.

"Leave him!"

"I sent him a message, and he said he wanted to try it out. When he was filming Lost on Journey, he never thought of becoming a director!"

"Isn't it you, the investor, who gave me the courage?"

Guo Xun laughed loudly, and the crew's daily routine began to operate again.

Today we are still filming in the dormitory, which will take several days to shoot.

"Morning, Brother Jin!"

"morning……"

After the actors came one by one, the filming officially got on track.

Tian Yusheng stood next to Guo Xun and watched carefully.

After Chen Jin performed several scenes, Tian Yusheng began to look at him with a new respect.

Before, some people on the Internet said that he had good acting skills, but Tian Yusheng didn’t really feel that much. But now that I have seen him filming in person, I found that many of his fans on the Internet had underestimated him.

He handled the scene with great ease, without having to show off much at all, and the whole scene was so smooth, with a lot of conflict and tension.

"It was quite comfortable to film Chen Jin's scenes!"

"He has his own understanding of the role and the script, so there is no need to explain..."

Guo Xun was looking at the monitor while talking to Tian Yusheng beside him.

Tian Yusheng nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I can see it!"

"So, it's not worth it for him to take on a low-budget film. In the future, he should either win awards or make a commercial blockbuster..."

In fact, any actor who has aspirations will do this.

Since Chen Jin has good acting skills and can invest on her own, she certainly has higher goals.

"No wonder..."

Tian Yusheng then understood why Chen Jin did not accept his script, because there was really no need for it.

You shoot 10 "Broken Love" movies, but the characters are stuck in the box.

I can only shoot this kind of love drama in the future.

An actor must try different roles and different types to demonstrate his acting skills; sticking to one track will not only limit your acting range, but also affect your performance ability.

This is just like many actors who often appear on variety shows but lack freshness and acting skills.

Deng Chao’s acting skills are obviously not bad, but when he is filming, many audiences feel that he is possessed by the Running Man character and is out of character... Actually, his acting is okay, but because he has been exposed too much in the Running Man series, the audience feels that he is acting like himself.

There are also Chen Daoming and Tang Guoqiang, who can act like themselves and the characters no matter what they play.

Because the roles they play are too simple.

Why is Li Xuejian considered to have good acting skills? Because the roles he plays are indeed rich.

"Has Brother Jin decided on his next work?"

Tian Yusheng watched Chen Jin finish a scene and asked Guo Xun beside him.

"no!"

"It's probably either an art film or a commercial blockbuster!"

“He wants to invest on his own…”

It’s not that no one wants to film with Chen Jin, but either they don’t like the work or they don’t want to cooperate with him. It would be better for Chen Jin to start his own project.

He actually has several ideas in his mind, such as "Journey to the West" and "The Wandering Earth", which obviously cannot be filmed in a short period of time. So he has to think carefully about what kind of movie to make during the summer and Spring Festival next year.

Therefore, Chen Jin is not in a hurry for the next movie. He has to make good use of the trial card to experience a few movies.

Now that he has accumulated so much, Chen Jin has enough money to do as he pleases and can spend lavishly.

Chen Jin doesn’t want to miss out on any award-winning or commercial film.

It seems like he is going to make an art film and then reward himself by making a commercial blockbuster.

At this time, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was compiling a list of films.

The nominations for the Huabiao Award, the Chinese government's biennial award to honor filmmakers, will be announced soon.

This year's Huabiao Awards is said to be the largest in history, with a total of 16 major categories and 23 minor categories, and the number of nominations and awards both set a record in history.

The reason why it is so grand is very simple. Last year, the total box office of Chinese films finally broke through the 100 billion mark!
This is a sacred moment worthy of celebration. The government decided to hold a grand event and invited many filmmakers from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and overseas to participate.

Anyone who doesn't come is not giving face.

The General Administration is currently making a final inventory of the filmmakers it has invited.

Also, list the nominated movies and names.

Films such as "Love Is Not Blind", "Under the Hawthorn Tree", "Founding of a Republic" and so on are among the nominated films, except for the currently popular "Founding of a Party", which did not make it to this year's selection.
