The city of Wuhan has hosted many firsts for Chinese films:

In 1905, BJ Fengtai Photo Studio shot China's first movie "Dingjun Mountain". The first movie actor in the history of Chinese movies - the famous Peking Opera veteran Tan Xinpei came from Wuhan;

"Wuhan War", which was shot in Wuhan in 1911 and reflected the Revolution of 1911, was China's first news documentary;

Of course, for Shen Changlin, Wuhan is quite familiar to him. Because of the movie road show, Wuhan is an inevitable battle!

Without him, it is one of the eight major vote banks.

At this time, the National Day holiday has ended. "The Year in a Hurry" won the National Day box office championship with a score of 380 million, and "The Dragon King of God" ranked second with a score of 220 million...

If we include the results before the National Day, "The Year in a Hurry" will be 580 million, and "The Dragon King" will be 306 million...

Shen Changlin arrived in Wuhan and was interviewed by local media. The first thing he was asked was, 'What do you think of the high box office of "The Year in a Time"?

"I think it's quite normal. Now is the era when youth films are very popular. Our market lacks this type of films... The most important elements of youth films are of course feelings and campus love that never ends. Most of our audiences have had this experience, so , everyone is willing to pay!”

"But Mr. Huang from Huayi said, 'The film market without the support of industrial production is absolutely impossible.' Do you think he is right?"

"That's right... the Chinese market is huge enough to accommodate the development of all types of films, so industrial production should also become mainstream!"

"But now the box office of "The Dragon King of Shendu" has lost to "The Year in a Hurry", how do you explain it?"

"The audience doesn't like it, how else can we explain it?"

"Many people say it's because of the audience's aesthetic issues. What do you think?"

"According to your words, "The Fault in Our Stars" was a small production of 18 million U.S. dollars. It sold 130 million U.S. dollars in North America and the global box office exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars. "The Lone Ranger" cost 200 million U.S. dollars and "Back to Earth" was 150 million U.S. dollars. Cost, these two large-scale industrial production movies failed at the box office, does this mean that there is a problem with audiences around the world? Special effects and industrial production are of course important, but the foundation of a movie is the story! This is like building a house, the foundation is not Once the floor is laid, what’s the use of just thinking about the floors?”

"Thanks…"

…

After the interview, Shen Changlin immediately returned to the hotel, changed his clothes, and then attended the cocktail party.

Socialize!

In fact, this year's Wuhan Golden Rooster Awards is quite embarrassing, because on August 13th, a notice was issued to stop extravagance and extravagance, and to promote frugality in hosting parties...

We must resolutely put an end to the unhealthy practices of indiscriminate hosting of festivals and performances, indiscriminate hiring of high-priced celebrities, and big names.

If there is a request from above, it must be carried out by those below.

Therefore, this year’s Golden Rooster Awards will not invite big names to support the event, nor will they give out gifts. The budget for the opening ceremony alone has been reduced by 20 times, from the original more than 9 million to 300,000...

Of course, that doesn’t mean the media won’t come!

Because of Shen Changlin, Ah Mou is here.

At the cocktail party, Shen Changlin recognized Ah Mou...

To be honest, he didn’t know any of the judges except Xi Meijuan, but they all had positions...

But for Shen Changlin, meeting Xi Meijuan is enough!

He has several works that he would like to collaborate with Teacher Xi.

Because Teacher Xi Meijuan’s appearance is hard to mess with—well, that means she’s mean!

But if you let her play a person with a story, it will be very dramatic.

For example, take comfort women.

Of course Grandma Rong can act, but she's not in good health, so it's better not to torment her.

Finally having some free time, Shen Changlin approached Xi Meijuan and proposed the idea of ​​starring her in a movie...

Oh, Xi Meijuan is the chairman of the jury for this Golden Rooster Awards, and a lot of people are joining in the fun.

"Comfort women?"

"Yes... I want to make a movie about comfort women, not a purely original one..."

Shen Changlin roughly told the story of "I Can Tell", but the ending was changed to taking off his clothes in front of the media at Shanghai Normal University - here is the only "comfort women" history museum in China!

Moreover, Professor Su Zhiliang of Shanghai Normal University has been engaged in research on the comfort women issue for more than 20 years. It was only through his efforts that this museum was built...

"This story is based on Ms. Na Ok-fen from South Korea. She studied English hard so that she could make her suffering known to the public and demand an apology from the Japanese and Japanese governments."

"…Okay, I agree to star!"

Shen Changlin quickly said: "Okay, then I will help you choose a director...the script will be sent to you next month!"

"...Why do you think of making such a movie?"

"When I read the news some time ago, it seemed that the professor at Wanwan said, '99% of the comfort women in Japan are Japanese. Why are so many people in China and South Korea so pretentious...' What I thought was that even one of them would not work! I must apologize!”

"Why did the professor over there say such things?"

"...Who knows...the minister over there even said, 'There are so many comfort women, they were voluntary, or they could be forced.'"

Xi Meijuan was speechless. Just as she was about to say something, Leader Huang came over...

…

Speaking of Leader Huang, you really can’t criticize his conduct as a person!

Let's put it this way, as long as he is nominated for any film festival in China, he will be there even if he is just an award guest.

This kind of respect for the organizer is really admirable.

Many domestic award ceremonies are so bad that they don't even make the headlines. If Master Huang goes there, the fans who follow him will also pay attention to this award ceremony.

You see, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Xiaopang, and even Deng Chao will not come unless they are nominated!

Zhang Ziyi was nominated this year, but she didn't come - she knew she wouldn't win the award.

Gong Er in "The Grandmaster" lost to Song Jia's "Xiao Hong", and by the way, Yan Bingyan's "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" also lost to "Xiao Hong"...

In the original time and space, Song Jia probably also felt embarrassed. In his acceptance speech, he said, "Why did such a big pie fall on my head? I still feel that it was a mistake to throw this pie here, but since If you throw it away, I won't be polite!'

Back to the topic, it’s not surprising at all that the leader appeared at this year’s Golden Rooster Awards reception...

"Partners in China" was nominated for Best Actor, so he will definitely come.

"Director Shen, Teacher Xi, what are you talking about?"

Shen Changlin didn't mean to hide anything: "...I'm going to ask Teacher Xi to make a movie."

Leader Huang's eyes lit up and he immediately answered: "What movie? Can I star in it?"

Shen Changlin looked at him, and then said: "There is a role that is really suitable for you... but it requires a lot of English speaking training, can you accept it?"

"Of course you can. Cheng Dongqing from "Partners in China" gave an English speech."

Shen Changlin looked at him and then at Xi Meijuan: "...Teacher Xi, what do you think?"

"I have no objection...you are the director, you have the final say!"

Shen Changlin quickly shook his head: "...I'm not a director, I'm just a producer. I've never made this type of film, and I can't guarantee what it will turn out like. I'm afraid I'll mess it up!"

When the leader heard this, he became even more interested: "What type is it?"

"It's a...drama film, your role is..."

Shen Changlin once again told the plot summary of "I Can Say", and Master Huang burst into tears when he heard it: "I must play this role..."

"I trust you!"

Master Huang is an actor who is recognized as having a high upper limit but a low enough lower limit...

People send nicknames: Huang Wuwu Kai Xiaoming, he can give a similar reaction to the actor who plays the opposite role well. If the opposite actor pulls his hips, he will pull his hips more than the other actor.
