Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

Xie Xingyan's choice of Beijing Film Academy had already surprised Zhou Lehui enough.

When he heard that Zhou Lehui wanted to participate in an "Actor Training Class", his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Do you want to act in movies in the future?"

"If there's an opportunity?"

Xie Xingyan didn't rule out any possibility, since the news of the variety show's project being initiated has only just come out, and it might not be until autumn that it's actually recorded.

"Pity" was taken off the screens in August, with its box office totaling 88 billion yuan after 100 days. It did not surpass "The Orphanage", but it was already quite excellent among art films released during the same period.

After all, many art films are made for "experts" rather than for movie fans.

The reason for this achievement is thanks to the targeting by Qianfeng Mang a few months ago, which ironically allowed Jiangxi Heng to break out of the circle with "Pity".

The CEO of Fengmang was terrified of this monstrous newcomer.

When preparing for the filming of the new movie in the second half of the year, I made a special inquiry.

"Are you sure Jiangxi Heng hasn't been active for the past few months? Hasn't he been filming any new movies? Let's hope we don't run into each other again, especially with similar themes!"

"Confirmed, boss! Huanyu has been promoting 'Compassion' all month in May, I don't know if they're aiming for the Best Film or Best Actor awards at the Bronze Begonia Awards. In June, Jiangxi Heng went to a music awards ceremony, and in July they started doing some variety show... He's been active outside for the past three months, not filming anything. On the other hand, Nie Mingzhu, after finishing 'Shared Apartment,' went straight to filming a new movie."

When it comes to the artists that Fengmang once bet on and favored, they were ultimately outmaneuvered by these artists.

The CEO of Fengmang asked with a grim expression, "What genre is the new movie?"

"It seems to be a comedy? It's called something like 'Qin Xiaodong's Troubles,' and the name sounds boring."

The CEO of Fengmang burst into laughter: "Does Nie Mingzhu really think that just because 'The Orphanage' was a success, he can make a name for himself in comedy? This movie was just lucky. Don't be fooled by the fact that it grossed over 10 billion yuan. Compared to those award-winning classic films, it's still far behind."

The minimum box office revenue for Silver Camellia is over 10 billion.

The CEO of Fengmang doesn't think "The Orphanage" can win the Best Picture award this time, and as for the Best Actor award, that's even more impossible! This movie is touted as having "two male leads," so it wouldn't be appropriate for either of them to win the Best Actor award.

Mainly, he didn't want to face an opponent like a "20-year-old Best Actor".

As for the possibility of Tong Haitang winning an award... those people who make art films are something that the CEO of Fengmang will never understand in his lifetime.

The prediction from Fengmang is correct.

Jiangxi Heng does indeed intend to cultivate Nie Mingzhu and Shen Hanyi into leading men and women in "comedy films".

Firstly, these two have a natural talent for abstract humor, and secondly, comedy films are a very important part of the film and television industry.

Humans experience four of the most common emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Joy comes first.

Jiangxi Heng won't stick to one type of subject matter. He's been really busy lately and hasn't had time to plan his next project, but he won't touch on any subject matter he's worked on in the near future.

Without Jiangxi Heng's guidance in getting the characters into character, the two leading actors have extended the filming period from three months to six months, from May to November.

"Qin Xiaodong's Troubles" tells the story of a man who returns to his school days, reunites with his first love, and then reunites with his wife, who has become his "white rice" (a term for a wife who is now just plain plain rice), leading to a series of hilarious and bittersweet stories filled with regret.

The main cast members, including male lead Nie Mingzhu, female lead Shen Hanyi, and second female lead Wu Mingyue, are all artists from Huanyu Entertainment.

By mid-August, awards were presented for both the copper crabapple and silver camellia.

Jiangxi Heng returned empty-handed from the Silver Camellia Awards. His film "The Orphanage," which grossed over 10 billion yuan, did not compete with a film released last year. That film took advantage of the timing of the awards, racking up two years of awards and reaching a total box office of 20 billion yuan. Last year's competition was in vain, but this year it won the Best Film Award.

"The Orphanage" only won a few miscellaneous awards, including Best Special Effects, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Song.

Nie Mingzhu, who took special leave to attend the awards ceremony, said: "What bad luck! I have to go back to filming."

They rushed over nervously and left in a huff.

When the results came out, critics mocked Jiangxi Heng's film, saying it didn't live up to its reputation: "We keep hearing your name, and this is all we get?"

And then, in just one day...

#The youngest actor to win a Best Actor award for an art-house film in history has been born!#

#Jiangxi Hengtong Begonia Awarded#

The award with higher box office revenue did not win an award, while the award with lower box office revenue won an award next door. This was not a mistake by the organizers, but because the selection criteria for the two awards were different.

An actor who won an art-house film with 88 billion yuan in box office revenue is even more impressive than an actor who won a commercial film with 200 billion yuan in box office revenue.

I thought they'd give "Pity" the Best Film award, but the organizers just gave Jiangxi Heng the Best Actor award! And this is the art-house film circle—I just can't fathom what these big shots are thinking!

[Ahhh, I'm so excited! Heng became a Best Actor! The youngest Best Actor in China!!!]

[To add to that, in the realm of art-house films, there was an 18-year-old Best Actor in a commercial film back then, and he was from Hong Kong.]

When 20-year-old Jiangxi Heng looked back, all he saw were cold, hard trophies and box office records covering the walls (thumbs up).

[He became a minor actor for "Rebirth," and a film emperor for "Compassion," but I'm not happy that "The End of the World" didn't make the list! That movie was absolutely amazing!]

Jiangxi Heng was also unconvinced.

He firmly believes that his fame is not enough, which is why he was at a disadvantage in the fierce competition among the top ten films during the Lunar New Year season. Despite having the highest rating, his film only grossed 10 billion yuan.

"Would you like to participate in a variety show? Although actors need to maintain an air of mystery, being down-to-earth is also important."

Ling Wushuang made a suggestion while flipping through the documents.

Jiangxi Heng's eyes narrowed: "Actor Training Class? I don't want to train newcomers on set, train employees at the company, and then have to train artists on the show."

Having a penchant for giving unsolicited advice is a common problem among many middle-aged men.

But Jiangxi Heng didn't have this problem; he only wanted his work to be perfect.

Ling Wushuang turned a page and smiled, "Did you know that Cai Fu switched jobs and brought an IP copyright with him?"

Jiangxi Heng pondered, "Running Man?"

"Yes, after two years of trying to reform, this IP was still a huge failure. As a worthless commodity, it was picked up by Cai Fu like garbage," Ling Wushuang said with a hint of schadenfreude. "This guy is not giving up. He dragged Wang Ji along to change the process and competition system. Here, is the plan they submitted."

Jiangxi Heng took it and looked at it.

This IP was renamed from "race" to "Running Brothers", and now it has been renamed "Brothers Are Just Chuunibyou": This is a world where music, notes, and instruments are weapons. A group of young people come here and become students of a superpowered school.

"and then?"

Jiangxi Heng flipped through it but didn't see the rest of the content.

Is it Wang Ji who is a "eunuch" or Cai Fu who has "discontinued his sexual activity"?

However, this program gave Jiangxi Heng a vague sense of familiarity. He thought about it carefully but couldn't remember. 4399 then raised their hand to remind him: [I previously recommended a TV series called "K.O.3an Guo" to the host. Some of its settings are somewhat similar to this project!]
