As soon as "The Ember King" came out, it received rave reviews.
Under the original Weibo, Shengshi's official blog, and even the film review section of "The Ember King", almost all of them were flooded with good reviews, and the few negative reviews among them couldn't even make a wave, and they were suppressed. to the bottom.
The noise was so loud that passers-by who didn't know the truth almost thought it was a sailor at first glance.
As the director of this film, Yuan Buwei has undoubtedly received high praise. Even the most demanding film critics are not hesitating to praise him, and are impressed by this amazing epic work he has dedicated.
In addition to film critics, some people in the director's circle also spoke out. Although the previous "Monologue" was good, it deviated from the mainstream after all. Coupled with the constraints of the so-called "seniority", there are still many directors who claim to be seniors. ?The young man who just came out condescended to speak.
But now, they have no choice but to ignore the real achievements of "The Ember King". What's more, Yuan Buwei is not only a director, but the prosperous world behind him is growing rapidly. The capital is also what other people in the circle have to consider.
Several veteran directors spoke publicly, praising his unparalleled talent. They don't dare to underestimate this young man anymore, they only regard him as a rising star, and they hold him to almost the same status as top directors.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, as long as he can make a few more films of decent quality, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses those top directors.
And then, the achievements of the movie "The Ember King" not only confirmed what they said, but also far exceeded many people's expectations.
Even the film critics who were optimistic about this film before were shocked: "Is this data true? No? Got it wrong?"
"The last time the blockbuster with the highest domestic box office was Director Jiang's "Storm" two years ago, right? I? Remember that the box office on the first day was only ?170 million."
"... This is really going to explode!"
The figure that appeared in front of everyone at this moment was that the box office on the first day was 190 million, approaching 200 million.
For the current domestic market, this data is terrifying. As a result, it is unbelievable both inside and outside the circle.
In the days that followed, "The Ember King" was like a terrifying giant shark surfacing out of the water, rubbing all the movies of the same period on the ground, destroying everything. At the end of the first week, the box office had approached 1.5 billion, breaking the previous record. It even forced the film that was planned to be released in the next few weeks to have to change its schedule.
For a while, people in the circle shouted "Yan is here", and they were unwilling to confront "The Ember King" head-to-head.
And this is just the beginning.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the movie exploded in China, Shengshi set up a line with a foreign distribution company and wanted to take this opportunity to expand overseas markets.
At first, foreign distribution companies only offered a small number of theater arrangements, which was regarded as testing the waters.
Unexpectedly, because this movie has a special cultural system different from any country in the world, it is also very novel to foreign people. The core of the story itself is in line with the most mainstream heroism and kingly thinking, and there is no tendency to be unacceptable in foreign markets.
After a cold start, the box office of the entire film exploded along with the explosive word-of-mouth. The distribution side saw that it was profitable, and the distribution theaters and film screening rate also increased steadily.
By the time the entire movie was released, the box office at home and abroad had already reached 5.3 billion. Countless people were stunned, and they could only sigh with horror.
Before I knew it, it had been nearly a year since Yuan Buwei came to this world.
In this short period of one year, he revitalized the prosperous world, brought down the Zhou Corporation and Star Entertainment, solved a criminal gang, and made two popular films incidentally. Such an experience can not be described as It's not exciting, but if it's adapted into a script, it's enough to make it into a movie.
And when the end of the year is approaching, one of the four major awards in the domestic film and television industry, the Golden Lion Award, is about to start.
The so-called four major awards are Golden Lion, Golden Elephant, Golden Tiger, Golden Bird... The names are simple and easy to remember.
Among them, the Golden Sparrow Award is mainly a TV drama award, and it has been dominated by several major entertainment companies for a long time. The two awards, the Golden Tiger Award and the Golden Tiger Award, are more favored by commercial blockbusters that explode at the box office. The former starts in the second half of the year, and the latter in the first half, perfect? Staggered.
In terms of nominations announced in advance for the Golden Lion Awards, the crew of "The Ember King" won a total of 13 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Special Effects, Best Editing... .
So much so that the entire crew became the most popular object of reporters on the red carpet that day.
The surrounding atmosphere was very frenzied. Walking on the red carpet, facing the flashing lights, I could hear the shouts of countless fans.
It wasn't because he was stopped by the reporter before he took a few steps. Fortunately, he was smart and quick-witted, and immediately pulled Xie Ze who was walking behind to throw the blame, and then took the opportunity to walk away.
Xie Ze was blocked by the reporters with a dazed face, and smiled helplessly as he looked at the back of Yuan who was leaving happily.
... Director Yan dumped the blame on him, what else can he do? Of course, take it and memorize it obediently.
Now he is no longer the former movie star. Because of this film, he climbed to the clouds again, and almost instantly soared into the sky, and the number of fans was more than a hundred times higher than before. But the whole person is no longer as impetuous and youthful as he was back then.
He easily avoided the traps in the topics of the reporters and handled them with ease.
But wait until someone asks: "Do you have? confidence? in your crew? What awards do you think this film may win? Do you have? confidence? to win Best Actor again?"
Xie Ze was only stunned for a second, then laughed. Contrary to his humble attitude before, he said seriously: "Yes. I have "confidence" in our crew. I believe that everyone's hard work, and Director Yan's intentions, will definitely not It will be let down. Maybe the best actor still? Maybe miss it, but the best director, I can't find a second? Candidate."
His tone was so decisive that it stunned the reporters who deliberately made some big news.
... Is this person really not worried? Did he slap his face in an accident? Although many people have recognized Yuan Buwei's director skills, accidents are always inevitable in this world. Once the best director award is lost at that time, the first one to laugh at is not because of this person, but Xie Ze, who is confident and confident!
Xie Ze took the initiative to make a big deal, and these reporters naturally stopped pestering him. They asked a few more regular questions and let him go.
There was a live broadcast of the live interview at this time. Many viewers saw the scene of Xie Ze's unreasonable words through the live broadcast room. Some admired his straightforwardness, while others could not see it.
[Hey, hey, are you talking too much? But don't get your face swollen when the time comes! ]
[I? Just say that Xie Ze is unreliable. This is a sudden comeback, and the whole person is floating again. This kind of big talk, isn't it for me? Director Yan recruited gangsters? ]
[Can't you see this? Kneel and lick the director. I've heard rumors from people before that this person kneels and licks the director all day long in the crew, no wonder he got the leading actor. ]
Not long after these netizens had finished their vowed words, the Golden Lion Awards had already begun. Amidst the warm applause, Xie Ze, who had been silent for several years, got his wish and won the best actor award.
He came to the stage to receive the award, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he opened his mouth and said, "To receive this award, the person I am most grateful to is Director Yan..."
Under the stunned gazes of all the people, the second-time best actor didn't even need to write a draft, but blew a continuous rainbow fart on the spot.
It is also a compliment to Yuan Buwei for how he knew people with his eyes, and how Yuan Buwei discovered his potential like a strict teacher during the filming process. The venomous tongue that wanted to die on the spot has turned into admonishment and advice to him...
Everyone watched this award-winning speech for nearly three minutes, two and a half minutes of which was spent praising the director in different ways, and finally said: "Finally, thank you fans and friends for your support." Support, I? Didn't? Let you down, and I didn't? Let down my own efforts."
When he stepped off the stage, the whole venue was eerily quiet for a second, and then there was continuous applause.
Even the netizens who watched the live broadcast were dumbfounded.
[Really, really hard licking? A little unabashed? ]
[… I am convinced. Just relying on his rainbow fart skill, even if he didn't have this acting skill, he would probably be a good Yan Daoxin in the future? ]
[2333 almost forgot about me? Director Yan is still a president? For a moment, my mind was full of #做巴审心?头喜#, #我?纪巴巴走上生活peak# and other? All kinds of? Weird things... It's just a devil! ]
And what stunned them even more was yet to come.
In the subsequent awards, the crew of "The Ember King" won the Best Editing, Best Special Effects, Best Art, Best Supporting Actress... a total of five awards.
And these actors and crew members who came to accept the award, without exception, thanked the directors sincerely and sincerely on the stage, one by one.
The style of the entire awards ceremony was almost taken away by them. The live broadcast room has already burst into a hahaha laugh.
Originally, every year, someone would win a certain award for a certain actor. The name is not worthy of the name. But now, all these people are gone, and only a group of sand sculptures appear on the barrage.
[Hahahahaha XSWL, are these people competing whose rainbow fart skills are more advanced? ]
[I? Doubt me? What I watched was not the live broadcast of the Golden Lion Awards, but the live broadcast of the large-scale rainbow fart competition—come on, have you? Ask us? Our only judge, Dao Yan, to rate all the rainbow farts and choose you The best rainbow fart expert in my heart, and award [Yan Director's Favor]! ]
[It's over, it's over, then Xie Ze is going to lose. The first? Appearance really doesn't have an advantage. The people behind all stole his rainbow fart, and even processed it. I just want to know what expression Xie Ze has now? ]
When these netizens were discussing, the director in the background didn't know who it was? The ghost actually cut the camera to the audience, and Xie Ze's face suddenly appeared in the camera, with a bit of depression and a bit of entanglement .
Hahahaha laughed again on the barrage.
[Is Xiu'er you? I? Announce that the best award tonight should go to this director. ]
When netizens were pippipi, most of the awards for the Golden Lion Awards had already been awarded, and the crew of "The Ember King" won one more award. So far, they have won six awards. ?The awarding party?Considering the factors of the cake-sharing principle.
It was the turn of the Best Screenplay Award on the stage. The host held the card and read out the unsurprising name with a smile on his face. The fans cheered.
Yuan didn't get up for the first time and walked up.
He walked very briskly, and while receiving the trophy, he bowed slightly to the audience, and spit out the simplest four-character thank you, "Thank you everyone".
Before the host could react, he had already stepped off the stage briskly.
The host quickly reacted, and could only smile slightly: "Director Yan is really concise. Then, let's look at the next award..."
The subsequent awards process went very quickly, and before I knew it, I came to the Best Picture Award.
This award can be called one of the most important awards of the Golden Lion Award, and its weight is no less than that of the best director. For some people, it is even more important.
The host routinely sold out a pass, and waited for the audience to whet their appetites before giving the final answer in a passionate voice: "...Congratulations to Director Yan, "The Ember King" won the best film of the year prize."
There was thunderous applause again.
Originally not to go up again to receive the award.
Under the light of the awarding platform, his sharp and handsome face was unreservedly revealed to everyone. A pair of dark gray eyes were clean and cold.
When facing the camera, everyone was shocked by the beauty at close range.
Therefore, even if he still just said a simple four-character thank you, it seemed so sincere that there were no criticisms on the barrage. This? The era of looking at faces!
The host was speechless for a moment as he watched this chican leave. Fortunately, she quickly calmed down and began to present the next award with a smile.
Until the show's all-important Best Director award.
"Let me congratulate Director Yan!"
It wasn't because he hadn't sat firmly in the seat for a few minutes before he heard his name again.
He handed the trophy in his hand to Xie Ze, and Xie Ze was holding a total of three trophies, including his own, and was quite flustered.
Yuan Wuwei couldn't help but shook his head and stood up.
...looks really bored.
The director accurately captured this shot.
Sand sculpture netizens started to get skinny again.
[Yan Dao: Heart? Tired. The damn trophy that has nowhere to go! I? I can't take it anymore! ]
[Director Yan: Yes? Is it over? I'm not interested in trophies at all. Take it away, take it away! ]
The voice of the host on the stage continued.
"The first debut work "Ghost" won the best new director, and then experienced the failure of "Deep Palace" and fell into a trough, until now standing on the awarding platform... Director Yan's real life experience is no less bizarre As for the protagonist of the film, how does Director Yan feel? What do you think?" The host smiled and passed the words, this time, he was determined not to let this person run away like this.
"Feelings?" Yuan Buwei pondered seriously for half a minute with a straight face, looking like he was racking his brains.
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
Then, he tilted his head: "Thank you everyone?"
host:"… "
"Also, are you hungry after waiting?"
The host was silent for ten seconds before he smiled and said, "Haha, it seems that Director Yan can't wait to end the awards ceremony. Don't worry, this is the last award, and the dinner will definitely be won later." Let Director Yan have fun."
[Feeling? I think it’s okay if I’m hungry? ]
[Director Yan: I'm sorry, I don't have any thoughts, I just want to put down this damn trophy that has nowhere to put it, and go have a supper. Too many trophies make me? Tired.jpg]
Whether it's crazy jokes, good-natured ridicule, or speechless response, at this moment, on and off the court, countless eyes are focused on this man.
At this time, he seemed to have reached the pinnacle of his life, as if he was surrounded by stars, and his body shone with incomparable brilliance.
Many years later, people suddenly discovered that this moment was far from the pinnacle, but the beginning of a legend.
He is not surrounded by stars.
On the contrary, he is the big sun that robs all the stars of light and is about to span the entire sky.
—And this day is just the beginning of glory.
