Chapter 644 The first director?
Yao Chen couldn't help but answer: "Many people want to join but can't."
It is true that not all artists can join the Filmmakers Association. To join the Filmmakers Association, you need to meet certain conditions and qualifications.
Divided into three standards.
1. Professional qualifications: Usually, film industry workers with associate senior professional titles or above, or directors, artists, photographers, prop masters, etc. who have won honors in film and television industry awards (such as Golden Rooster Award, Huabiao Award, Golden Horse Award, etc.) Film shooting professionals such as set designers, screenwriters, critics, etc.
2. Working years and achievements: For film and television practitioners who are not rated as intermediate professional titles, they need to engage in film and television work for a long time and achieve certain results, or to achieve significant results in a short period of time.
In addition, you need to have at least two film works in this professional field in the film industry, or publish film works and theoretical articles in national media twice or more.
3. Social influence: Social celebrities, compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, foreign Chinese, etc., who have made outstanding contributions or achievements in the film and television industry can also become members.
Of course, this refers to the National Film Association, not the next level local film association.
For example, there are provincial film associations such as the Beijing Film Artists Association and the Shanghai Film Artists Association.
In addition, there are also municipal film associations such as XM City Film Association.
Different levels have different membership standards.
Just like the Writers Association, there are National Writers Association, Provincial Writers Association, Municipal Writers Association, County Writers Association...
Different levels have different membership standards.
What Yao Chen said was referring to the National Film Association.
As an Oscar director, Wang Shu is fully qualified to join.
It's just that he doesn't get into it.
Zhao Yanzi answered with a smile: "No one else is an Oscar-winning director like Director Wang."
Shu Qi has a straightforward temperament, she said: "Not to mention, if Director Wang doesn't join the association, the association will be in an embarrassing situation."
"So they asked me to recommend Wang to the association." Zhou Xun spoke out.
"Looking for you?" Yao Chen was shocked when he heard this.
Seeing everyone looking over, Zhou Xun immediately explained: "They knew that I had a good relationship with Director Wang, so they asked me to be the intermediary and recommended Wang to the association."
"That's it." Yao Chen suddenly realized, and then asked, "Director Wang refused?"
Zhou Xun nodded and said aloud: "He is now an Oscar director, and he also started a company. It doesn't matter to him whether he joins or not."
This is indeed the truth. Shu Qi couldn't help but smile and said: "If Director Wang doesn't join, the only one who will be embarrassed is the association."
Chen Kun exclaimed: "Whose fault is this?"
Zhao Yanzi smiled softly and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. In a few days, the Oscar awards ceremony will be held. Nowadays, many people think that it is impossible for Director Wang to win the Oscar again. What do you think?"
< br>
Hearing this question, everyone looked at Zhou Xun.
Among everyone present, only Zhou Xun and Wang Shu are the most familiar and have the most say.
Zhou Xun then said: "Until the last moment, everything is possible."
"All statements now are analysis, not results."
"Last year, many people thought it was impossible for Director Wang to win the Oscar. Director Wang finally won the Oscar for Best Director."
"Although various analyzes this year are sound and reasonable, they are nothing more than speculation."
"The movie "Pi" is very good. Director Wang not only won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director this year with this movie, he also won the British Academy Film Award for Best Director."
"Under this circumstance, I think Director Wang is very likely to win the Academy Award for Best Director."
"If we go by the rumored analysis, it is impossible for Director Wang to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director consecutively."
"Since Director Wang has won the Golden Globe Awards, it is not impossible to win the Academy Awards."
"I believe he can win another Academy Award this time!"
These words were so convincing that Shu Qi, Zhao Yanzi and others felt that they made sense for a while.
My heart is right. If the widely rumored analysis that Wang Shu cannot win the award makes sense, then the corresponding analysis is that it is also impossible for Wang Shu to win the Golden Globe consecutively.
Now that Wang Shu has won the Golden Globe Award, this theory has been overturned in disguise.
It also shows that it is not impossible for Wang Shu to win consecutive Academy Awards.
Thinking of this, Shu Qi, Zhao Yanzi and others were all shocked in their hearts.
If Wang Shu wins the Academy Awards, he will be far ahead of other domestic directors.
Being called the number one director in the country is well deserved!
Chen Kun followed Zhou Xun's words and said: "Xun'er is right. Since Director Wang has won the Golden Globe Award, he will naturally win the Oscar again."
“Whether it’s the voice in the industry or on the Internet, they just don’t want Director Wang to win the award.”
"You just said that Director Wang will embarrass some people, so some people naturally don't want to see Director Wang win the award."
Shu Qi responded with a smile: "I originally thought Director Wang couldn't win the Oscar, but now I hear what you say."
"It seems...it's really possible!"
When Zhao Yanzi heard this, he couldn't help but said: "It is indeed possible."
In fact, she is also the type who hopes that Wang Shu will win the Oscar.
Because now she is not short of money for some unspeakable reasons.
Therefore, she has the idea of cooperating with Wang Shu. If Wang Shu wins another Oscar, it will be beneficial to cooperation.
Of course, the premise for her thinking is that Wang Shu will not refuse to cooperate with her.
In her opinion, as long as the money is enough and the investment is in place, there is no reason for Wang Shu not to cooperate with her.
Not to mention, there is also the relationship between Zhou Xun and others, so Wang Shu has no reason to refuse.
In the original timeline, Zhao Yanzi actually started to gain momentum at this point. Not only did she star in various movies, but she also invested in, produced and directed movies, TV series, etc. It can be said that she was prosperous.
And this will definitely require huge start-up capital to operate.
Zhao Yanzi happened to be lucky enough to have a huge amount of start-up capital.
Yao Chen couldn't help but say: "If Director Wang wins the Academy Award, there will be no director in China who is more powerful than him."
After a pause, he added, "Including Li Yu."
Li Yu only has one Academy Award, but if Wang Shu Lianzhuang, it will be two.
As for Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others, they will also be thrown away by Wang Shu.
Because there is a little golden man, it can be said that Wang Shu is lucky.
Ke Lianzhuang has won two Academy Awards statuettes in succession. This is his strength.
For example, Chen Kaige's Palme d'Or has been on a downward spiral since he won it. People inside and outside the circle are questioning his ability.
If he can win two seats, it highlights his strength and no one can question it.
Even if you can't get two Golden Palms, you can still get a Golden Bear or a Golden Lion.
However, there has only been one Palme d'Or for many years, and it has continued to decline, so there is no room for doubt.
In comparison, Lao Mouzi is different.
Although he did not win the Palme d'Or, he won the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize for "To Live". There are also Berlin Golden Bears and Venice Golden Lions.
This shows that Lao Mouzi won the award not because of luck, but because he made films with a local flavor. He really has a lot of skills.
Wang Shu actually proved his strength even without Lian Zhuang.
Not to mention that he has never made a loss on a movie, but the fact that he won the Venice Best Director Award and the Academy Award for Best Director for different movies has proven his strength.
Different movies win awards, and what they show on the side is their strength.
"Indeed." Shu Qi responded, then looked at Zhou Xun and chuckled, "Xun'er, when will Director Wang return to China? Then we can arrange a dinner party with him so that we can enhance our relationship with him."
When Zhao Yanzi heard this, he also said: "Yes, Xun'er, when will Director Wang return to China?"
Zhou Xun shook his head and explained softly: "I don't know either."
"He will attend the Academy Awards ceremony next, and then start filming the science fiction movie with Paramount."
"I heard that it is quite troublesome to shoot. It will take more than half a year at least."
After Zhao Yanzi heard this, he immediately asked: "Isn't the drama between Director Wang and Paramount going to be shot in China?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Shu Qi and others also knew about this news, and they all turned to Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun then explained: "We want to shoot scenes in China, but we need to plant corn first, and the earliest time to plant corn in the three northeastern provinces is May. After sowing in May, and then growing well, it will be the second half of the year. ”
"Director Wang will probably return to China to see how the corn is growing, right?" Shu Qi asked.
When Zhou Xun heard this, he hesitated and responded: "Should... yes?"
After saying that, without waiting for the others to say anything, he added, "No matter what, as long as I have the chance, I will ask him out."
Zhang Yanzi, Shu Qi and others all smiled when they heard this.
Los Angeles.
Wang Shu is having dinner with Gong Li.
"The song you wrote for Taylor Swift is awesome. It has already been on the Billboard and ranked No. 1."
Gong Li teased with a smile.
Billboard, the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, is a singles ranking produced by the American music magazine "Billboard". The list is also considered the most authoritative singles ranking in the United States.
The ranking of the chart is determined by the sum of record sales and the number of times a single is played on the radio in the United States. The sales calculation period is from Friday to Thursday every week, and the radio play count period is every Monday to Sunday.
Each issue's new list is published on Tuesday evening, but the list date is marked as the Saturday of the following week.
"jaroflove" ranks first. It's not that it's awesome, but it's very awesome!
Of course, this song, sung by Wanting Qu, could not achieve this effect. Instead, it was sung by Swifty and it shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In fact, being able to reach the first place was mainly due to the assist of the MTV Music Awards Ceremony.
At that time, Swift suffered unfair treatment, which caused a lot of heated discussion in Europe and the United States. Whether online or offline, most people sympathized with Swift.
At this time, she released "jaroflove".
With the emotional bonus, both sales and attention have greatly increased.
"I didn't write it for her, I sold it to her." Wang Shu answered calmly.
"Is there any difference?" Gong Li didn't agree with him and looked like an understanding sister.
Wang Shu sighed: "Taylor and Emma came to my apartment some time ago and happened to see this song in my study, and then I sold it to her."
When Gong Li heard this, she asked: "You don't sing yourself?"
Wang Shu answered: "My singing skills are average, and I have no intention of developing into the music industry."
“This song was inspired by me and I wrote it casually when I was squatting in the pit.”
"Originally I left it in the study and ignored it, but then Taylor saw it and expressed strong interest, so I sold it to her."
Gong Li was a little surprised when she heard this, and then asked in surprise: "Your singing skills are average?"
As far as she knew, Wang Shu could sing, and she had also heard the songs sung by Wang Shu, and they were all good.
Wang Shu chuckled and said: "It's all thanks to the sound card."
Gong Li understood what she said and was convinced that Wang Shu really had no intention of getting deeper into the music industry.
If you go deep into the music circle, you will inevitably go on stage to sing or hold a concert.
And his singing skills are very average, which is equivalent to death in the face of light.
Since this is the case, and it is developing extremely well in the film industry, there is really no need to go in depth.
"What a pity." Gong Li couldn't help but sigh.
"What's a pity?" Wang Shu didn't react for a moment.
Gong Li smiled and said: "What a pity for your talent."
"You can obviously write lyrics and compose music, and your level is very high, but if you don't sing well, it's a waste of these talents."
Although he can write songs and music for others, Wang Shu is a great director and there is no need to do such a thing.
Therefore, in Gong Li's view, Wang Shu was undoubtedly a waste of talent.
"It's no pity." Wang Shu laughed.
He has no talent at all, he is just a porter of nature.
When Gong Li heard this, she couldn't help but sigh with resentment: "It's the talented people like you who think this way. It's impossible for people like us to have any talent."
These words seem to be talking about talent, but in fact they are lamenting her situation in Hollywood.
Hollywood does not lack actors with acting skills, but it lacks actors who are irreplaceable.
As an international movie queen, no actor in mainland China can stand on the same level as Gong Li.
It can be placed in Hollywood and lost to everyone.
Wang Shu saw through it but did not tell him, he laughed and said: "There is no way, it is due to talent."
After Gong Li heard this, she shook her head and said nothing.
Since Wang Shu didn't understand the meaning of the words, there was no need to explain more.
After the two had dinner, Gong Li did not go home, but followed Wang Shu to his villa.
As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger.
After seeing how powerful Wang Shu was, Gong Li had some thoughts in her heart after not experiencing it for a while.
For today's dinner, she also took the initiative to make an appointment with Wang Shu.
In fact, there is a characteristic about whether women have strong thoughts.
Airports often have strong ideas.
Broad-mindedness, relatively speaking, is often not that strong.
Of course, this is not a generalization.
But a large number of people are like this.
