On November 25th, Lu Chen's first movie, "A Chinese Ghost Story", officially started shooting at the old site of the Faen Temple in the Lion Rock Film and Television City in Hong Kong.
On December 29th, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was officially completed.
All in all, it only took slightly more than a month. During that period, filming was stopped for a few days due to an accident. This speed and efficiency was considered very high because "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not a shoddy fast-food movie.
In this movie, Lu Chen played many roles as director, male lead, screenwriter, and arranger. In order to make "A Chinese Ghost Story", the hard work he put in was not something ordinary people could imagine.
Especially in the later stages of filming, in order to catch up with the progress, Lu Chen often filmed from morning to night. He ate and lived on the set of the Lion Rock Film and Television City. It was common for him to stay up all night.
Lu Chen had personally hand-drawn dozens of scripts. Together with Wan Xiaoquan and the art designers of the crew, the number of scripts was even more.
Many of the script drawings were derived from his memory of the original "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the dream world. This made the shooting of the movie simpler and more accurate. Big also reduced the number of NGs during the shooting process.
Many of the scenes were done in one go, which was why they could be completed in such a short period of time.
However, finishing did not mean that it was over. The post-production special effects, editing, dubbing, and soundtrack were all very complicated work, especially in terms of special effects. It was normal for many blockbusters to take a year and a half to make special effects.
Of course, there were not that many special effects for "A Chinese Ghost Story" because more of the real scenes and props were used during the shooting process. However, the budget for special effects was not low.
Lu Chen was not sure if it could be released in early February 2017. However, he could only hand over all the work to Wan Xiaoquan for the time being and flew back to Beijing.
That was because December 31st was the day of the Global Chinese Original Songs Award Ceremony.
Lu Chen could not miss this music event no matter what.
The Global Chinese Original Songs Chart was formed by the reorganization and merger of the Asian Chinese Music Chart and the Chinese Original Music Chart. Its standard was unparalleled in the Chinese music circle and far surpassed other Chinese music awards.
Just look at the organizers of the Global Chinese Top Songs Chart — the Chinese Music Association, China Central Television, China Central Radio, and the Voice of China …
There were five that started with the word "medium", and the other joint organizations were even more dazzling. Any one of them was a well-known brand name.
The first Global Chinese Top Original Songs Chart of 2016 was held at the National Grand Theater. It was broadcasted live to the world by CCTV Variety Channel and Music Channel.
In this grand ceremony of Chinese music, Lu Chen was undoubtedly one of the most prominent stars.
In total, he was nominated for Best Male Singer, Best Album, Best Lyrics, and Best Composition. In addition, he was also nominated for Best Producer and Media Recommendation.
In addition, Chen Fei 'er was also nominated for Best Female Singer, Best Album, Best Stage Performance, and Media Recommendation. Among them, Best Album and Media Recommendation were in direct competition with Lu Chen.
As the award ceremony approached, the blog had been flooded with the topic of the Top Original Songs Chart. The star singers of the domestic pop music industry took the lead to appear on the Internet, making the topic extremely hot.
Among them, the lovers' competition between Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er was undoubtedly a hot topic among the big topics.
Especially for the Best Album, the fans were mainly divided into three factions. One faction supported Lu Chen, one faction supported Chen Fei 'er, and the other faction was happy no matter who won the award.
"The Best Album must be my Fei's. Which album in 2016 can compare with 'Woman Flower'?"
"Isn't 'Woman Flower' my Chen's credit?"
"Hehe, the Best Album is not the Best Lyrics and Best Composition. It doesn't matter who wrote the song, understand?"
"Personally, I think the overall quality of 'The Ordinary Road' is better than 'Woman Flower'. The Best Album doesn't mean it's the best-selling album, so I bet on Lu Chen to win."
"I support Chen Fei 'er. She sang so well. I love' Woman Flower 'and' Sea of Faces'."
"Stop arguing. Whether it's' The Ordinary Road 'or' Woman Flower ', I support them both!"
According to the selection rules of the Global Chinese Top Original Songs Chart, there were at most five nominees for an award, and only one winner. There would be no "double yolk eggs" or "triple yolk eggs" that people could not complain about. Therefore, the awards were very valuable.
The high value also meant that the competition was fierce. It was said that it took the organizing committee a whole month to determine the nominees for the 24 awards of the Chinese Top Original Songs Chart.
As the biggest event of the year for Chinese pop bands, the Chinese Top Original Songs Chart not only meant the highest glory of the Chinese pop music industry, but also rich benefits, such as high bonuses and official recommendations …
"Have you ever thought about how many awards you'll get?"
At night, in the love nest built by the two of them in the Zicheng Yuan District of the capital, Lu Chen, who had just flown back from Hong Kong, was leaning against the bed and reading the blog on his tablet.
Chen Fei 'er, who was wearing a nightgown, lay lazily on Lu Chen's body and naughtily used her hair to tickle his ear.
She asked while tickling him, "Two? Three? Four? "
Today was the first time for the two of them to meet in more than half a month. After their passionate love, they turned their attention back to the Global Chinese Top Original Songs Chart that would be held the night after tomorrow.
Chen Fei 'er returned to the capital yesterday. She had not finished shooting all the scenes in "Shengshi Longsong", but because she got four nominations for the Top Original Songs Chart, the director happily gave her a leave.
In the pop music industry, Chen Fei 'er was also a person who had won many awards, but she was particularly interested in the first Global Chinese Top Original Songs Chart.
She had another goal to strive for.
Lu Chen said with a wry smile, "You think too highly of me. To be honest, I'm very satisfied if I can get one."
Lu Chen was not pretending to be modest, but his real thoughts.
Although he got six nominations on the Chinese Top Original Songs Chart and was unparalleled among the younger generation of musicians, he faced strong competition for every award he was nominated for. It was still unknown who would win the award.
Nominations and awards were two different things. In many music and film awards, it was common to hold a lot of nominations but get nothing in the end. The reasons involved were very complicated.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not get carried away by the six nominations. He set his goal very low.
He typed his answer on the keyboard and replied to a blog fan who asked the same question.
