Chapter 641 I know a nice bathroom, do you want to take a look?

In the blink of an eye, the British Academy Film Awards ceremony has reached its final stage, and it’s time to award the biggest award, Best Picture.

"Life of Pi", Wang Shu is not a producer, so he can take advantage of it if it wins the best picture.

Not taking it was not unacceptable to him.

Because he has already won the Best Director Award, this is an honor that is closely related to him.

If he wins the best picture but not the best director, he will only be nominated for the honor of best director.

Gil Nate stared intently at the award presenters on the stage. He had already prepared his acceptance speech and was waiting for the award presenters to announce that "Life of Pi" had won the best picture.

Kathryn Bigelow is also staring at the stage. She is not only the director of "The Hurt Locker", but also one of the producers of "The Hurt Locker".

Therefore, if "The Hurt Locker" can win the award, then as a producer, she can hold the biggest award in her hands and deliver the acceptance speech on behalf of the entire crew.

In fact, Wang Shu can also become a producer.

For example, the movie "Interstellar" was produced by Yishu Company, and he is also one of the producers.

In the future, when he establishes a production company in Hollywood, he will also be able to serve as a producer for a long time.

The producer's job is mainly to attract investment and coordinate the entire crew.

It's not a problem that he can invest on his own.

As for the work of coordinating the crew, it can be assigned to the team of Yishu Company.

Cameron also stared at the stage, waiting for the award presenter to announce the winning film.

Like Kathryn Bigelow, he is not only the director of "Avatar", but also a screenwriter and producer.

Both of them have their own production companies, and they will be named producers, and they are also the chief producers.

Just like Nolan's version of "Interstellar", Nolan is not only the director, but also one of the screenwriters, and also one of the producers.

However, it is not him who is doing the work of coordinating the crew, but another producer Emma Thomas.

Emma Thomas is Nolan's wife.

Another example is the current version of "Interstellar" by Wang Shu. Wang Shu is also one of the screenwriters and one of the producers.

The producer's job is to coordinate the crew. In fact, he only controls the general direction, and the team from Yishu Company is responsible for the specifics.

"Life of Pi" is a project between 20th Century Fox and Gil Nate. Although Wang Shu's Yishu company participated in the production, its nature is not like "Interstellar", which is jointly produced with Paramount. Investment co-production.

The producer is Gil Nate and there is no him.

In contrast, Kathryn Bigelow was not only the director of "The Hurt Locker," but also a producer.

James Cameron, too.

The honors of the biggest award and the Best Picture Award are all closely related to them.

James Cameron glanced at Kathryn Bigelow, the female director who was her ex-wife. "The Hurt Locker" missed the Grand Prize at the Golden Globe Awards. Cameron knew that Katherine must be disappointed, so he immediately went to comfort her.

Even though "The Hurt Locker" had won many awards before the Golden Globe Awards, most of them were minor awards, and none of them could match the gold content of the Golden Globe Awards.

"Avatar" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, and Wang Shu won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. In comparison, as a nominated director and nominated film with the same high reputation, Kathryn Bigelow is a bit like clown.

Now at the British Academy Film Awards ceremony, the Best Director Award was won by Wang Shu, leaving only the biggest award for Best Picture.

It would be even more embarrassing for Kathryn Bigelow to miss out on the big prize again.

In particular, if the grand prize is taken away by "Avatar", as Cameron's ex-wife, she will be compared even more.

Therefore, among everyone present, Kathryn Bigelow was the most nervous.

Off the stage, the award presenter tore open the envelope, took a look at it, and loudly said: "The winner of the Best Picture Award at this year's British Academy Film Awards is..."The Hurt Locker"!"

When Katherine Bigelow heard this, she stood up in surprise. Wang Shu, Cameron and everyone in the audience also applauded enthusiastically.

As for Catherine winning the award, Wang Shu could only say that the American soldiers all killed her.

In terms of its artistry, Wang Shu indeed believes that "Life of Pi" is far superior to "The Hurt Locker".

However, this film is a film praising American soldiers.

Britain, in turn, followed the lead of the United States.

At the British Academy Film Awards, The Hurt Locker had the right time and the right place.

This film has participated in many film festivals, such as the 65th Venice Film Festival.

Just being shortlisted will not count for the Golden Lion Award, Silver Lion Award, or other minor awards.

But it was such a film that swept the British Academy Film Awards and the American Academy Awards in the original timeline.

Kathryn Bigelow walked onto the stage and gave an excited acceptance speech.

Of course I was very happy to win the biggest prize.

But like Wang Shu, Cameron and others, her goal is to win the Academy Awards in March.

Except for the three major European awards, no matter how many other awards it has won, they cannot compare to the Academy Awards.

Although the three major European awards are not as influential as the Oscars, their artistic quality is higher than that of the Oscars, which are only domestic awards in the United States. Their gold content is naturally among the top.

"The Hurt Locker" has already been to the Venice Film Festival, with no success.

Today, the only goal is the Academy Awards.

As Kathryn Bigelow finished speaking, the British Academy Film Awards ceremony came to an end.

Next, is the cocktail reception and dinner.

Wang Shu patted Gil Nate's shoulder. He could tell that Gil Nate was not convinced.

"Avatar" is a commercial film. If we judge the awards based on artistic quality under normal circumstances, among the five nominated films, "Life of Pi" is the one that has the most potential to win the award.

However, I came across "The Hurt Locker" which praises American soldiers.

Gil Nate returned Wang Shu with a bitter smile and sighed deeply.

He has a feeling that "Life of Pi" may still be no match for "The Hurt Locker" at the Oscars in March.

Gil Nate knows too well the Oscar criteria and the appetites of the old men at the American Film Academy.

Maybe next time, I’ll run with you again.

……

Cocktail dinner.

Wang Shu, Tam, Gil Nate and other people from the "Life of Pi" cast were present, and there were many people at the scene.

Some are reminiscing about old times, some are expanding contacts, and some are seeking opportunities.

This is one of the reasons why some people who were not invited to the awards ceremony rushed to sneak into the dinner party, where many prominent figures in the film industry gathered.

A well-known producer, a well-known director, or the president of an entertainment company, etc.

For producers, it can attract investment. For actors, there are opportunities to pursue.

Director, too.

"Shu, congratulations on winning the Best Director Award. I am Carey Mulligan." Carey Mulligan came up to Wang Shu with a smile on her face while holding champagne.

"Congratulations on winning the Best Actress Award." Wang Shu responded in a gentlemanly manner.

Carey Mulligan is only 24 years old this year. She is still very beautiful at this age. She smiled and said again: "I heard that you are currently preparing a new film with Paramount?"

"Yes." Wang Shu said with a smile.

There is a lot of news about this matter, and everyone has known about it for a long time. Carey Mulligan obviously knew everything about it, but he just pretended not to know much about it and asked about it.

With a smile on her face, Carey Mulligan winked at Wang Shu and said, "I heard that casting is still being done now?"

This is not wrong.

Although the casting has been initially completed, it has not been directly confirmed and is still being discussed.

And as long as it is still under discussion, there will be the possibility of changing the actors.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"Yes, it's not confirmed yet." Wang Shu knew that the other party most likely knew the information, so he told the truth.

Carey Mulligan had a bright smile on her face. When she heard this, she suddenly leaned into Wang Shu's ear and whispered: "I know there is a nice bathroom here. Do you want to take a look?"

This is a common hint in Hollywood.

Even though this is the UK, Wang Shu is now working in Hollywood, and British actors also go to Hollywood whenever they have the chance, so they all understand.

Wang Shu did not agree directly, but said with a smile: "I only have the right to recommend actresses."

"I know." Carey Mulligan answered with a smile.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, she was telling Wang Shu that this was the opportunity she wanted.

Again, if it were another film, Carey Mulligan might not be like this.

However, "Interstellar" has the gimmick of Wang Shu + Spielberg + Paramount. In addition, Wang Shu, as a mature science fiction film director, has to strive for excellence in real-life shooting this time.

These disclosed information have already shown from all angles that this science fiction film cooperating between Wang Shu and Paramount will be a blockbuster with huge investment.

Carey Mulligan is a British actor. Now she has won the British Academy Film Award for Best Actress. It is the time to seek opportunities to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

For her, Wang Shu is a rare opportunity.

Just...

Wang Shu said with a smile: "I have recommended actors to Paramount before and have no intention of recommending actors again."

This time, he will definitely need to reject Carey Mulligan.

Because Carey Mulligan won the Best Actress Award today, if he turns around and recommends her to Paramount, Paramount will probably think that he met Carey Mulligan at the British Academy Film Awards ceremony. Mulligan later came to appreciate him more and couldn't wait to recommend him to star in "Interstellar".

And this may cause Paramount to misjudge and actually invite the other party to star in "Interstellar".

Although Carey Mulligan did win the Best Actress Award today, Wang Shu felt that her acting skills were average and not as powerful as Anne Hathaway.

To be precise, Anne Hathaway came from Disney and is a capable actor in her own right.

When Disney selects actors, it usually selects young people with performance potential and talent, and ensures their performance capabilities through rigorous training and selection processes.

Therefore, Hollywood actors who come from Disney usually have certain abilities.

For example, Ryan Gosling, the male protagonist of "La La Land", "Blade Runner 2049" and "Barbie", is also from Disney.

So compared to Carey Mulligan, it's not as good as Anne Hathaway.

Carey Mulligan's face suddenly stiffened when she heard Wang Shu's words. After all, she is an actor, and she has the ability to manage facial expressions. She still maintained a smile and said: "I know."

Then he asked with a smile: "The bathroom is really nice. Do you want to go and have a look?"

There is no chance this time. Carey Mulligan does not intend to give up, but plans to establish a line with Wang Shu first to strive for future profits.

Anyway, Wang Shu is young, handsome, and a talented director. She is interested in such a charming man.

A trip to the bathroom not only satisfies your inner thoughts but also creates opportunities for the future.

Why not?

Hearing Carey Mulligan's answer, Wang Shu felt a little relieved. Just when he was about to agree, Kristen came over in a dress.

"Shu, what are you talking about?" Christine asked innocently.

This little girl must not be innocent, but her expression at the moment is very innocent.

"Nothing, just talking about some movie-related things." Wang Shu answered with a smile.

Carey Mulligan also said: "Hello Kristen, I am Carey."

Kristen responded politely: "Hello."

This was a cocktail party, and both of them behaved very well.

After Christine finished speaking, she added: "Congratulations on winning the Best Actress Award tonight."

Carey Mulligan also responded with a smile: "Congratulations on winning the Best New Star Award."

Wang Shu heard the conversation between the two and suppressed laughter.

He knew very well that Christine was definitely unhappy.

Carey Mulligan won the Best Actress award, but she won the Best New Star award.

Although they are both the best, they are far from each other.

Christine turned around, smiled and said to Wang Shu: "Shu, I haven't congratulated you on winning the Best Director Award yet."

"Congratulations."

Wang Shu listened and answered with a smile: "Congratulations on winning the award."

He didn't say Best New Star, after all, Kristen and Carey Mulligan are both actresses, one is the Best Newcomer, and the other is indeed the Best Actress.

Saying it in person would undoubtedly embarrass Kristen in comparison.

Carey Mulligan didn't realize this, and was even a little proud.

Kristen became a popular actress in Europe and America due to the popularity of "Twilight".

In comparison, Carey Mulligan is far less famous than Kristen.

Yet today, Carey Mulligan is the BAFTA winner for Best Actress, and Kristen is just Best Newcomer.

Although she is not as famous as Christine, her awards and honors far exceed those of Christine.

In the entertainment industry, both male and female artists have a comparative mentality.

Although everyone looks smiling on the surface, in reality, they are hiding their secrets in their smiles, and they all want to overwhelm each other.

Carey Mulligan is also a young actress. As today's best actress, she is not as famous as Kristen. She will definitely feel strange emotions when seeing Kristen.
