Chapter 632 Can’t two people be together?


Chapter 632: Can’t two people be together?

January 2010 passed and February arrived.

In January, the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards held an award ceremony.

"Avatar" directed by Cameron won the Best Feature Film Award in the Motion Picture Category, and Wang Shu's "Life of Pi" won the Best Director Award in the Motion Picture Category.

Last year Wang Shu won a Golden Globe Award, and this year he won again.

However, for him now, the Golden Globe is not his pursuit, but the Oscars and the top three in Europe.

In the original timeline, during the commercial break before the announcement of the key Golden Globe awards, the Foreign Correspondents Association, composed of more than 90 people, braved the disapproval of the world and forced the two big balls of Best Picture and Best Director to be thrown at "Avatar" at the same time. .

In the classic words of Oscar host Steve Martin: "Who's going to stop that damn thing from making a movie that everyone loves?"

No one is blind to the fact that "Avatar" has been the box office champion for five consecutive weeks and exceeded the global box office of 1.6 billion in 53 days.

If "The Hurt Locker," the inexplicably bad movie that was seriously delayed, simply won the reputation of film critics in the early stage, then "Avatar", which has also earned a lot of reputation, has one more thing than it - and that is the box office.

Undoubtedly, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was a nightmare for Bigelow. Even if Cameron hypocritically ran to comfort Bigelow like he kissed Linda Hamilton, it could not make up for her pain. .

Because previously, "The Hurt Locker" swept all the awards at the Broadcasting Film Association Awards, which looked like a copycat of the Golden Globe Awards.

Today, it is different.

In addition to "Avatar" at the Golden Globe Awards, there will also be "Life of Pi" directed by Wang Shu.

Best Picture and Best Director are not awarded to the same movie.

Relatively speaking, not only would Bigelow be less hostile to his ex-husband Cameron than he was before, but the media would also have fewer ridiculing news reports.

Because there is no Cameron's "Avatar" in the original timeline, Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" has the best chance of winning the award.

Nowadays, even if there is no "Avatar", there is still "Life of Pi".

For Wang Shu, compared to the Best Picture Award, the Best Director Award is his award.

Because he is not a producer, in a producer-centric place like Hollywood, even if he wins the Best Picture Award.

This award is also in the hands of the producer.

The Best Director Award is an honor that truly commends him.

However, if Wang Shu becomes both a producer and a director in the future, then he will have ideas about the Best Picture Award.

Right now, there is no need to operate accordingly.

"Shu, I failed the audition."

Sister Shitou dialed Wang Shu's number and said in a lonely tone.

The auditions currently organized by Paramount are just preliminary trials. Through this level of screening, some suitable actors will be selected.

Then, the roles will be decided from the actors who have passed the preliminary audition.

As a director, Wang Shu will personally go to the scene to select the actors.

Although he can't directly determine the role, his opinions are still important.

"Does Paramount think you are not suitable?" Wang Shu asked knowingly.

Paramount is preparing the movie "Interstellar", not Marvel making a superhero movie.

When Marvel makes superhero movies, they like to find actors who have been famous or are just slightly famous.

In this way, a decent cast can be assembled with only relatively low actor salaries.

This is not how Paramount prepared "Interstellar", but to assemble a strong cast.

Young actors like Sister Shitou were not considered.

Even for supporting actresses, they have to be cast accordingly to the role of a little girl.

Not to mention that the little girl looks exactly like the supporting actress Murphy, but she is also similar.

Sister Shitou is young and quite sweet at the moment. In addition, her screen image has been shaped by the marginal film and television works she has appeared in since her debut. She does not meet the requirements for a supporting actress in "Interstellar".

It's normal to fail the first test.

And since she couldn't get this role, it was naturally even more impossible for her to get the heroine role.

"Yes." Sister Shitou sighed.

Then he added, "Shu, no matter what, thank you for recommending me to Paramount."

In fact, Sister Shitou also knew that a big company like Paramount not only looked down on young actors like her, but also didn't trust her acting skills, which was why she couldn't pass the initial audition.

She was helpless about this.

Wang Shu answered: "It's not helpful, so there's no need to be so polite."

Sister Shitou replied seriously: "Shu, if it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't even have a chance to audition."

"So even if you fail the audition, I should still thank you."

When she went to audition, she met many big-name actors.

Wang Shu is well-known, coupled with the fact that he is cooperating with Paramount, and this science fiction film project is still left by Spielberg at Paramount.

Spielberg + Wang Shu + Paramount, the gimmick of this kind of movie project immediately made many actors in Hollywood have ideas about it.

It was precisely for this reason that Matt Damon, DiCaprio and others called Wang Shu.

For the actor, the film project was too enticing.

After Sister Shitou went there, she clearly understood that if it weren't for Wang Shu's recommendation, she wouldn't even have a chance to audition.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wang Shu to answer, he continued, "Are you busy? Let's eat together, I'll treat you."

Wang Shu heard the words and answered: "I'm afraid not, I have something to deal with."

After hearing this, Sister Shitou did not inquire further, but responded: "Then you should be busy. Let's have dinner together when you have time, and wait for your call."

"Okay." Wang Shu.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shu drove out and then entered a high-end Western restaurant.

"Shu." Christine greeted Wang Shu with a smile on her face.

"Christine." Wang Shu responded with a smile.

This person called him before Sister Shitou and made an appointment.

It wasn't that Wang Shu wanted to reject Sister Shitou, but that he couldn't get away.

The two sat down and chatted while eating steak.

After chatting for a while, Kristen asked curiously: "How was the audition?"

"What? Do you have an idea too?" Wang Shu teased with a smile.

Kristine pouted and admitted openly: "Of course."

After speaking, he added, "Now actors across the United States know that this science fiction film project was left by Spielberg at Paramount, and now you have personally changed the script."

"Do you think we actors have any ideas?"

Wang Shu chuckled and asked: "Aren't you going to film "Twilight"?"

"Alas!" Kristen sighed, "It was just because I was filming "Twilight" that I didn't audition."

Kristen Stewart is different from Sister Stone. She is already one of the most popular actresses in the United States because of "Twilight".

Therefore, even without Wang Shu's recommendation, she could still get the audition opportunity for "Interstellar".

However, Paramount is looking for actors who have acting skills, are famous, and fit the characters in the script.

In terms of acting alone, Kristen is not up to par.

Therefore, even if she goes to audition, nine times out of ten, she will come back empty-handed.

Of course Wang Shu would not say this, but followed her words and said: ""Twilight" is also a very good movie, and it would be good to make this." Christine smiled when she heard this. In fact, she It is very clear that youth love fantasy movies such as "Twilight" have no connotation at all, and they will not win any awards except at the box office.

But she is a heroine, and when she hears someone praise her, she still feels comfortable.

When the topic of "The Twilight Saga" came up, Kristen seemed to have forgotten her previous question about how the audition for "Interstellar" was, and kept chatting with Wang Shu about things related to "The Twilight Saga".

After the western meal, Christine followed Wang Shu back to the apartment.

The two of them talked about their life ideals.

In fact, not all American women are very open-minded, and a large number of women are relatively conservative.

I’m just saying that the entertainment industry is a place with all the bells and whistles.

Most Hollywood actors or related practitioners have a lot of fun.

And this has given Hollywood screenwriters a wealth of "experience", either from what they have seen or heard, or from their psychological changes in this environment.

Then, in the film and television works presented, Americans have all kinds of messy relationships between men and women.

All kinds of mess.

The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!

This is not the case.

Among ordinary Americans, a large number of women are relatively conservative.

The next day.

Wang Shu and Sister Shitou had dinner together, and they inevitably talked about their ideals in life.

Emma Stone is only 22 years old, sweet and beautiful.

It is precisely because of this that Gwen, the heroine of "The Amazing Spider-Man", was selected during the audition.

However, after six or seven years, his appearance plummeted.

The same goes for Christine. She is only 20 years old this year. In seven or eight years, her appearance will plummet.

Both of them are beauties now, but their types are different.

Sister Shitou's face shape gives people a sense of fleshiness, exuding youthful cuteness and youthful beauty.

Christine's frame is relatively slender and she has a colder beauty.

"Shu, Swifty has been recording songs every day these days, and she should be able to finish the single you wrote and composed the lyrics for soon."

Sister Shitou was lying in Wang Shu's arms and talking.

She currently has a boyfriend, and Wang Shu also knows that she has a boyfriend. She also knows that Wang Shu knows that she has a boyfriend, so she has never mentioned a relationship with Wang Shu.

The same is true for Christine, who also has a boyfriend and has never mentioned a relationship with Wang Shu.

Swifty just broke up with her ex-boyfriend, but she is currently single.

"Are you so anxious?" Wang Shu was a little surprised.

"She liked this song very much, so she was anxious to record it." Sister Shitou explained.

After saying that, he asked a little bit amusedly, "Now that Swift is not here, tell me, did you prepare it specially for her?"

Of course Wang Shu would not admit this problem.

Not to mention, it really wasn’t meant for Taylor Swift.

He came up with the song without any intention of singing it himself, just waiting to sell it to a destined person.

No matter who it is, as long as he looks pleasing to the eye.

However, this destined person happens to be Taylor Swift.

"No." Wang Shu answered decisively.

Then he explained, "That song was written when I knew Taylor. How could it be specially prepared for her?"

"Really?" Sister Shitou was still skeptical.

"Of course!" Wang Shu responded affirmatively, and then asked, "Why did I lie to you? If it was specially prepared for her, would I have admitted it that day instead of denying it?"

Seeing Wang Shu's precise explanation, Sister Shitou softened her inner judgment.

But, still don't believe it.

She pouted and hummed: "Who knows what you think?"

When Wang Shu heard this, he looked helpless.

Although Sister Shitou entered Hollywood at the age of fifteen or sixteen and her cultural level is not high, she is actually quite smart.

For example, if the director of "La La Land" invites her to collaborate again, it stands to reason that she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for "La La Land". If the director invites her to collaborate again, most people will agree.

Moreover, he collaborated again with Ryan Gosling, the leading actor of "La La Land".

After Sister Shitou read the script, she declined.

It turns out that she does have a good eye.

Damien Chazelle, the director of "La La Land", followed up with the film "First Man" directed by Ryan Gosling, which bombed the market after its release.

Not only was it a flop at the box office, it was also shortlisted for awards.

On the contrary, she took on another supporting role in "The Favorite", for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

As the saying goes, cleverness can lead to mistakes.

It was Sister Shitou who believed so firmly in her own judgment that she didn't believe what Wang Shen said.

Seeing that Wang Shu was silent, he rolled his eyes and then asked: "How do you feel about being with Swift?"

"How about what?" Wang Shu asked knowingly.

"What do you think?" Sister Shitou curled her lips and hummed in ridicule.

"What did you say?" Wang Shu continued to act stupid.

"Hmph!" Sister Shitou saw that Wang Shu was pretending to be stupid, so she snorted and said, "Do you like me or Swifty?"

Wang Shu saw Sister Shitou speaking so unrestrainedly, so he joked in turn: "Can't we just be together?"

When Sister Shitou heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at Wang Shu and hummed: "What a beautiful idea."

"Haha." Wang Shu brought Sister Shitou to his eyes, kissed him, and said with a smile, "I like you."

If Swift asked this question, his answer would be completely opposite.

When Sister Shitou heard this, regardless of whether what Wang Shu said was true or false, a smile appeared on her face.

Then

The casting process for "Interstellar" won't be over for a while.

Paramount is still conducting auditions at this stage, and will only enter the next stage of final selection when the selection is almost complete.

The more Paramount is like this, the more extraordinary the movie "Interstellar" is in the eyes of Hollywood actors.

This kind of casting battle reflects from the side that "Interstellar" is not only a big production, but the producers are also trying their best to make the movie well.

Therefore, Hollywood actors are even more excited about this movie.

Wang Shu took advantage of this gap and returned to his country.

The Spring Festival is approaching and I will go back to China to celebrate the New Year.

He returned to China on February 9 and stayed in Beijing for two days.

On February 12, I set off back to my hometown.

New Year's Eve is on February 13th, and Spring Festival is celebrated on February 14th.

He plans to stay in his hometown for two days on February 13th and February 14th, return to Beijing on February 15th, and return to Los Angeles on February 17th.
