Entertainment Empire - Chapter 895
c856 Mojin: The Lost Tomb
In the following days, “In the Name of People” continued to occupy the throne of the first place in the ratings of the same period. At the same time, the broadcast volume of this drama on the Internet platform also ranked first among all the TV dramas currently being broadcast.
It can be said to be glorious and brilliant.
At the end of 2011, some new award ceremonies were opened. The biggest award was the Golden Image Award, which was comparable to the Golden Horse Award. This award is one of the most important awards in the Hong Kong and Chinese film industry. It is organized and awarded by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association every year. It aims to encourage the creation and development of excellent Hong Kong films. It is the most important event of the year in the Hong Kong film industry. The award ceremony is usually held in the Grand Theater of the Hong Kong Cultural Center. Twenty-one awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress are awarded. In this award, Luo Xun was once again nominated for Best Actor. The nominated work was…
The movie “Partners”.
Previously, Luo Xun was nominated for Best Actor for both “Partners” and “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” at the Golden Horse Awards, and the winning work was “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”. However, when it came to the Hong Kong Film Awards, Luo Xun’s performance in “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” did not get him nominated, but “Partners” did.
The difference in taste among the judges of the grand prize is evident.
Luo Xun was not entangled. The three gold awards were not to be missed. Whether he won the award or not, he did not care much, because he already had a Golden Horse Award for Best Actor certification. However, when the award was unveiled, Luo Xun still went to Hong Kong specifically, not only to see who won the award, but also to catch up with friends in Hong Kong such as Stephen Chow.
The result was a pity…
Luo Xun’s trip to the Hong Kong Film Awards ended up being a runner-up, and he failed to win the Best Actor crown again. However, as he thought before he came, he would not be sad even if he did not win the award, anyway, he already had a Golden Horse Award for Best Actor trophy in his hand.
And there is still a long way to go.
Luo Xun is still very young now, so it won’t be difficult for him to win the Academy Awards in the future.
Speaking of which.
Luo Xun has some connection with the Academy Awards. His first movie “Kung Fu” won the Best Supporting Actor award through the Academy Awards. It’s a pity that he didn’t win the Best Actor award this time, but it also gave Luo Xun a small goal, which is:
I must win the award next time!
It’s like obsessive-compulsive disorder. Since you have already given me the Best Supporting Actor award at the Academy Awards, you must give me the Best Actor award in the future to truly recognize my growth, even though Luo Xun’s growth doesn’t need the Academy Awards to prove anything.
After returning to China.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief when Luo Xun didn’t win the award. He finally stopped his crazy run. Luo Xun’s achievements this year were already very exaggerated. If he were to win the Academy Awards again, he would be so awesome that he would have no friends. Even Kong Shuang covered his chest and muttered, “Maybe it’s a good thing that he didn’t win the award, so that he wouldn’t use up his luck this year and go downhill next year.”
“You still believe in metaphysics?”
Luo Xun laughed at her, but his mood was not affected by this incident. Instead, he talked about other things: “The new year is about to begin. Let’s arrange the work content for next year. After the beginning of the year 12, the first thing I have to do is to shoot a new movie.”
“What new movie will it be?”
“Let’s shoot a less heavy story. What do you think of “Ghost Blowing Light”? How about it? Anyway, our company has the copyright, and the reader base of the Ghost Blowing Light series is not bad, and the content is quite suitable for adaptation. ”
“No problem.”
Kong Shuang smiled and said, “Where is the script?”
Luo Xun said casually, “I haven’t started writing yet, I will start writing in the next few days. The content of the movie is actually adapted from the novel, so it won’t take too much energy. The trouble is that I plan to make this movie into an IMAX 3D effect. I haven’t tried this thing, so it’s just crossing the river by feeling the stones.”
“IMAX plus 3D?”
Kong Shuang nodded. This is the general trend. Many large productions in China now use this new technology, and the audience’s appetite is gradually being spoiled. Many people even insist on IMAX.
“Please pay attention to the preparations.”
Luo Xun said, “The name of the script has been decided. It’s called “The Lost Tomb”. I will continue to play my trinity. I plan to find Huang Bo for the second male lead. This guy keeps asking me for roles. It will be over if I don’t take him with me.”
“The Lost Tomb?”
Kong Shuang thought about it and had some vague impression, but she couldn’t remember which part of the story in “Ghost Blowing Out the Light” it was. After all, the novel was too long, so she just read it in a hurry.
Luo Xun saw Kong Shuang’s confusion.
He knew Kong Shuang had read the Grave Robbers’ Chronicles and Ghost Blows Out the Light series, and was familiar with the stories, so he explained: “I plan to adapt this story based on the last four parts of the tomb-raiding novel Ghost Blows Out the Light written by Tianxia Bachang. It mainly tells the story of Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang re-entering the thousand-year-old tomb on the grassland.”
“The second male lead has been decided.”
Kong Shuang smiled and said, “What about the first female lead?”
Luo Xun thought for a while and said, “Let Xia Yu do it.”
Kong Shuang was puzzled when he heard this: “Does Sui Sui have no schedule?”
Luo Xun shook his head: “Sui Sui is suitable for the third female lead. Her face has a kind of classical beauty, while Xia Yu is more inclined to a modern urban feel, but it depends on their own opinions.”
Luo Xun was telling the truth.
In the movie “The Secret of the Dragon”, there are several characters with distinctive characteristics. The first one is naturally Miss Yang of the trio of tomb robbers——
Shirley Yang.
This is a Chinese-American who graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and worked as a photojournalist for National Geographic magazine. She loves archeology. When she returned to China, she met King Hu Bayi in triumph and formed a stable team to embark on an adventure trip. In the process, she developed feelings for Hu Bayi and became the leading female lead in the movie.
Luo Xun thought it was suitable for Xia Yu.
Xia Yu has a sense of independence as a modern woman. She has a stronger sense of fashion than ever before. She has played roles such as urban female white-collar workers and even female CEOs in movies more than once. So just from the perspective of the compatibility of the role, Xia Yu Yu is the most suitable character for Miss Yang among Luo Xun’s friends.
Secondly.
Ding Sitian.
In the original version of “The Secret of the Dragon”, Ding Sitian was played by Angela Beibi, the leader’s wife. To be honest, Luo Xun believed that this role of Beibi’s classmate was already the pinnacle of her acting career——
Personal aspect.
Ding Sitian once joined Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan in the grassland. She was their first love. She was good at singing and dancing. Hu Bayi once described her as “so beautiful that she was astonishing to the heavens”.
In the movie.
Ding Sitian will also play the role of the female ghost in red in the coffin. Luo Xun feels that it is best to have a classically beautiful face, so intuitively speaking, Zhang Sui Ning is quite suitable for this role, but for a young celebrity, This role is a bit inappropriate, but it doesn’t matter. What makes her have a special relationship with Luo Xun, and she can give Suisui a special title instead of the third female lead in the conventional sense.
