Chapter 636 Jinhua Award Nomination, Red Carpet Ceremony(1/2)
China's three major film award ceremonies each have different emphases and characteristics.
The Jinhua Award has been held for the 43rd time. As you can imagine, this award has a long history.
The main difference between the three major film award ceremonies lies in the different selection methods.
The Jinhua Award is an award sponsored by the national regulatory department and selected by the cinema school.
Therefore, the Jinhua Award is often considered by the public to be an academic award.
The Jinhua Awards will have a certain theme, after all, they are sponsored by the national regulatory authorities.
Since it is an academic award, this award pays more attention to the professionalism of the film rather than the popularity of the film.
Of course, there is also a voice among academics who believe that movies are made for the audience and only if the audience likes them are they good.
However, compared to the other two film award ceremonies, the Jinhua Awards still pays more attention to the professionalism of films.
Therefore, the Jinhua Award is also considered the most professional award in the film industry.
Because more attention is paid to film professionalism, the films that win the Jinhua Awards are not necessarily the films with the highest box office that year.
Even movies with a box office of only a few million may win awards.
Therefore, some movie names that the audience has never seen will appear at the Jinhua Awards, especially some literary films.
Of course, if the film's professionalism is high enough, box office will also become a reference factor, but it is not the most important factor.
There are many films nominated for the 43rd Jinhua Awards.
Among the movies released this year, in addition to "Crazy Stone", Li Kexin's "Married Halfway" also received several nominations.
If we only look at the number of nominations, "Married Halfway" has the second highest number of nominations.
Li Kexin is a film major and has worked in the film industry for more than thirty years.
From a director's point of view, Li Kexin is indeed excellent.
This is not the first time he has been nominated for the Jinhua Award.
This time "Married Halfway" was nominated for four awards.
Best Director Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, Best Actress Award, and Best Screenplay Award.
These four awards are all relatively heavyweight awards.
In comparison, "Crazy Stone" was nominated for only two awards.
One is the Best New Director Award, and the other is the Best Actor Award.
Moreover, the nominee for the Best Actor Award is Guo Shi.
When Guo Shi saw that he had been nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Jinhua Awards, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, he called Fang Xing to thank him.
As for the Best New Director Award, the nominee is naturally Fang Xing.
No matter which industry you are in, there will always be seniority issues, and the film field is no exception.
Therefore, "Crazy Stone" was made by a new film director and a group of unknown actors, although it won the summer box office championship.
However, the Jinhua Awards do not pay much attention to the box office, so "Crazy Stone" was not nominated for many awards.
Also because Fang Xing was nominated for the Jinhua Award for Best New Director, this nomination caused a lot of controversy on the Internet after the nomination was announced.
[What is it? How come Fang Xing can be nominated as a new director? How new is this thing? It has been stored for two years and is almost rusty.]
[That’s right. A new director was actually nominated. What’s even more frightening is that I feel this award can be awarded directly to him.]
[Not necessarily. The other three nominated new directors still have great potential. They are all emerging directors from the academy.]
[There may be potential, but how can I beat Fang Xing, who won a Grand Slam at the TV drama awards ceremony? 】
[This thing is very speechless. Originally, there were not many people who could compete for the Best New Director Award. After all, every director only has one chance in his life. Therefore, most of the nominated new directors are not well-known and have no foundation. Fang Xing
This guy is totally cheating.】
[One thing to note is that Fang Xing has made TV series before, but this is his first time making a live-action film. According to the rules, it does meet the selection criteria for new directors. ]
[Indeed, since it is a film award, it should only count movies. Otherwise, directors who have made music videos cannot judge new directors.]
[Then it’s over. Isn’t this guy sure to win this trophy? Do you still want him to make a TV series in the future? That’s it.]
…
Fang Xing also didn't expect that he would be nominated for Best New Director.
It was also a bit dumbfounding.
However, among those nominated for Best New Director, Fang Xing is not the youngest.
After all, there are many film directors who have worked in the film industry for more than ten years before they have the opportunity to make movies.
The film industry is indeed the most late-growing industry in the entertainment industry.
Not only directors, but also actors need some years of experience before they can achieve success in the film industry.
During the intense filming of "Do you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin".
Fang Xing is staying at home with his daughter, and is preparing to attend the Jinhua Awards ceremony.
After all, the Jinhua Awards is one of the three major film awards, and it is sponsored by a national department. Since I have been nominated, I will definitely participate.
However, Fang Xing felt that he was not sure whether he would win the prize.
If we look at film works, the other three nominees are really new directors, so the films they made have the highest box office in the tens of millions.
In comparison, the box office of "Crazy Stone" was terrible.
Therefore, it is generally believed on the Internet that Fang Xing has won the Best New Director Award.
However, Fang Xing didn't think so.
Because Fang Xing did not come from a professional background as a director, but from a musical background. Although his acting skills were good and his directing ability was acceptable, in the eyes of academics, he was still a wild man.
Since the Jinhua Award belongs to the academy, it is more inclined to award the award to directors with a professional background.
A "wild person" like Fang Xing is usually not welcomed.
In fact, it can be seen from the nominations.
Lee Koshin's "Married Halfway" both received four nominations, but "Crazy Stone" only received two nominations.
When these two movies were competing at the box office during the summer season, "Married Halfway" was rubbed on the ground.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only the box office, but also the audience score of Douya.com, "Crazy Stone" also scored a high score of 8.7, crushing the 7.3 score of "Married Halfway".
In other words, in the eyes of the audience, "Crazy Stone" is much better than "Married Halfway".
However, while Li Kexin is a frequent attendee at the three major film award ceremonies, Fang Xing is a newcomer to the film industry.
If you think about it this way, it is understandable that "Married Halfway" received so many nominations.
However, Fang Xing is actually not optimistic about "Married Halfway" winning the award.
This movie is indeed okay, but only okay.
Moreover, this movie was not aimed at movie awards from the beginning. It can be seen from the casting of the male and female protagonists that it just wanted to box office.
The box office results of "Married Halfway" are indeed good.
As long as you don't compare it with "Crazy Stone", the box office of "Married Halfway" is indeed quite good.
Fanfan Entertainment made a lot of money.
Zhu Yiting's popularity also continues to soar, and there is a faint tendency to overtake Jia Haochen.
Zhu Yiting and Jia Haochen are known as the top twin stars in the film industry, but Jia Haochen's total box office has reached 10 billion, and their promotional slogan is "The Youngest Mr. Ten Billionaire".
Zhu Yiting is just "Mr. 5 billion".
Comparing the two, Jia Haochen's box office is twice that of Zhu Yiting.
However, Zhu Yiting's rise is very strong. This time "Married Halfway" was also a success, and fans naturally praised it even more.
It's a pity that Zhu Yiting was not nominated for the Jinhua Award this time.
This situation is also in line with the selection preferences of the Jinhua Awards.
Liu Wenwen, the heroine of "Married Halfway", was born in a film academy class, while Zhu Yiting was born as an idol.
Academics naturally recognize Liu Wenwen more, so Liu Wenwen is nominated for Best Actress.
Zhu Yiting was not nominated.
Of course, Fang Xing expects that "Married Halfway" will win at most one award among the four nominations, or even no award at all.
Because this movie, starting from the selection of popular stars, the goal was not to win awards.
The more people in the film industry know, the more they understand that movies that want to win awards and movies that want to hit the box office require different shooting methods.
Especially for academic awards like the Jinhua Award, if you want to win the award, you need to show off your skills to a certain extent.
Movie shooting can also show off your skills, but audiences prefer easy-to-understand, simple and straightforward plots and shots.
