"Director Wang is really a big deal. This "Interstellar" is another fine piece!" Deng Chao walked out of the cinema with Sun Li, unable to help but sigh.
Sun Li buried her head. Compared to Deng Chao's feelings about this movie, she envied Anne Hathaway, who played the heroine.
It's because Anne Hathaway is a European and American actor who can play the leading actress in such a high-quality blockbuster.
And she, obviously has a very deep friendship with Wang Shu, but she cannot get such an opportunity.
Deng Chao did not notice Sun Li's emotions, and still sighed with his own feelings: "How great would it be if he had the opportunity to participate in such a film? Even if he couldn't play the male and female protagonists, it would be nice to play the male and female supporting role." Seeing that Sun Li was still not speaking, Deng Chao also felt it was unrealistic and asked, "I saw many people recommending Liu Cixin's science fiction works to Director Wang, and I hope Director Wang can make it into a movie. Do you think Director Wang will adopt these suggestions?"
"How do I know?" Sun Li asked back angrily.
When winter comes, the weather in the capital is very cold and she is wrapped tightly. It is precisely because of this that Deng Chao did not notice that something was wrong with her expression. "I'll ask if you think it's possible." Deng Chao smiled.
When Sun Li heard this, she thought about it carefully and said, "If the science fiction work of Liu or something you said is very good, Director Wang should be interested."
She had never read Liu Cixin's works and did not know who this person was.
In fact, before the movie "The Wandering Earth" came out, many people didn't know who Liu Cixin was.
Because, many people do not read novels, so they do not pay attention to it.
It's like people who don't focus on LOL don't know who Jack Love is.
"Liu Cixin's science fiction works are of course good, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people recommending them to Director Wang." Deng Chao answered immediately.
Sun Li heard this and said, "Then... Director Wang should be interested."
Deng Chao smiled and said, "Then do you think if Director Wang is interested, should you make Liu Cixin's science fiction works into a movie in China or in Hollywood?"
There are big differences between the two.
The former will use domestic actors in eight out of ten.
The latter basically uses Hollywood actors.
Sun Li thought for a while and analyzed: "I heard that Director Han has been calling Director Wang to return to China to make movies. Now Director Wang has filmed this "Interstellar" in Hollywood. If Director Han calls him back to China to make movies, will he bring the science fiction work of Liu and others you mentioned to the big screen?"
"Liu Cixin." Deng Chao reminded.
Sun Li spoke out: "No matter what his name is, if Interstellar has a good box office, and as you said, many people recommend his science fiction works to Director Wang."
"Dr. Han cannot be unaware of this."
"Then when Dong Han saw the high box office of "Interstellar", he was thinking about it and instigated Director Wang to bring Liu Cixin's science fiction works to the big screen?"
Deng Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
At first, he just thought of someone recommending Liu Cixin's science fiction works to Wang Shu, but he didn't think of other aspects.
Now when he heard Sun Li say this, he suddenly realized that he had ignored Han Sanping.
This is the chairman of China Film and Television. He has always wanted to make blockbusters and has been seeking to continue working with Wang Shu to make blockbusters.
If "Interstellar" achieved a good box office, Han Sanping would definitely find Wang Shu to make a blockbuster movie.
And, many people just happened to recommend Liu Cixin's works to Wang Shu.
Maybe Han Sanping is really busy bringing it to the big screen with Wang Shu.
He looked at Sun Li and exclaimed, "No, it's really possible!"
"Haha." Sun Li smiled when she heard this, "If you're right, Liu Cixin's science fiction works are really good."
"Then even if Director Wang is not interested, Director Han will work hard to cooperate with Director Wang and bring it to the big screen."
"Because Director Wang is best at science fiction films, and if Director Han wants to work hard, he will also work hard to work hard to cooperate with Director Wang."
"As long as the box office of "Interstellar" is good, Director Han will definitely not be able to sit still."
Even if Sun Li doesn't say that, Deng Chao knows clearly.
The people in the Beijing circle know exactly what kind of person Han Dong is.
As long as the box office of "Interstellar" is good, it is not that it is impossible to sit in, but that it is definitely not that it can't sit still.
Even said that even if the box office of "Interstellar" is average, Han Sanping can't sit still.
And, compared to the box office, the box office will generally make him unable to sit still.
Because from Han Sanping's standpoint, "Interstellar" has an average box office, and he is more confident in urging Wang Shu to cooperate.
On the contrary, Wang Shu is more likely to stay in Hollywood.
Deng Chao nodded and said, "According to the character of Han Dong, he should be unable to sit still."
Sun Li immediately said, "So... Director Wang may really bring Liu Cixin's science fiction works to the big screen in the future."
Deng Chao smiled and said, "If it was led by Han Dong, it would also be a Chinese-language film."
Sun Li nodded, "Blockbusters need to consider overseas markets, so they may be a co-production film."
Deng Chao smiled and said, "Han Dong takes the lead. Even if it is a co-production film, it is a co-production film mainly based on our side."
Sun Li knew Deng Chao’s thoughts in her heart and said, “If it was a co-production film, then we probably wouldn’t have the chance to get the role.” Deng Chao’s face was originally filled with a smile, but when he heard this, the smile on his face disappeared.
At first I didn't realize it, but now when I heard Sun Li say this, I suddenly realized that it was really the case.
If it is a co-production film, even if it is mainly domestic actors, the first thing to consider is big-name actors who have appeal in the overseas market.
The big-name actors who have box office appeal in the overseas market are often those actors from Hong Kong.
For example, Donnie Yen is doing well in Hollywood now.
Putting aside Li Xiaolong, he is the third martial arts star to gain a foothold in Hollywood after Chen Long and Li Lianjie.
Even if it is not Donnie Yen, there are also Hong Kong actors such as Andy Lau who are well-known in Southeast Asia and Chinatowns in Europe and the United States.
Deng Chao realized this and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that even if Dong Han makes trouble for Director Wang to return to China and bring Liu Cixin's science fiction works to the big screen, we actors will find it difficult to get the opportunity."
"If Director Wang returns to China to make a small-budget movie, we still have some opportunities."
"If it is a blockbuster, not only will the competition be large, but we are not competitive yet."
Sun Li also sighed and said, "It is really hard to have a chance."
"Didn't Director Wang shoot another art film in Hollywood not long ago? He called Fan Binbin to go."
Although this was quite resentful, Deng Chao didn't think much about it.
Because Wang Shu was shooting art films in Hollywood, he was looking for Fan Binbin, not Sun Li.
This shows that although Sun Li and Wang Shu have a good relationship, their work matters are all the same.
This also shows from the side that the two only have a good relationship. Otherwise, the supporting actress in the art film Wang Shu filmed in Hollywood would not be Fan Binbin, but Sun Li.
Not to mention, even if Sun Li's tone was resentful, Deng Chao could understand it.
After all, that movie is an art film that wins the Oscars. As the third female lead, Fan Binbin is qualified to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Even if you can't win the award, you have the chance to get nominated.
If Fan Binbin can get nomination, his status will surpass Li Binbin, Zhou Xun and others.
No one doesn’t envy this kind of opportunity, and no one doesn’t want to get it.
Deng Chao spoke for Wang Shu from Wang Shu's perspective: "Director Wang has always been looking for actors suitable for the script roles, especially when making art films."
"So... Director Wang looked for Fan Binbin, maybe because Fan Binbin is more suitable for the characters in the script."
This is very reasonable.
But for Sun Li, things are not so quarrel.
She responded on the surface: "Maybe."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one bar, one reading!
"How is it possible?" Deng Chao continued to speak for Wang Shu from Wang Shu's perspective. "Director Wang has always been in this style in making movies. Fan Binbin must have gotten the opportunity because of the role that suits the script."
When Sun Li heard this, she nodded, not wanting to answer the conversation.
Nodding, she needed to respond to Deng Chao.
I didn't want to answer the conversation, but Wang Shu looked for Fan Binbin but didn't look for her, and she felt good.
Deng Chao didn't know this and continued, "Fan Binbin got the opportunity this time. Do you think she is really likely to win the award?"
The more Sun Li heard this, he became more angry, and snorted, "Is the Oscars' Actor Award that easy to win?"
Deng Chao nodded in approval and said, "That's right, the Oscars' Actor Award is very competitive, and Fan Binbin is a Chinese-language actor, so it's really hard to win the award." "But even if you can't win the award, as long as you can get the nomination, you can still become a top actress in China." Sun Li also knows this. The nomination for the Oscars' Actor Award is quite a good honor in Hollywood, let alone back to China.
It is precisely because this opportunity is so rare that Wang Shu didn't look for her but Fan Binbin, and she felt quite uncomfortable.
After listening to Deng Chao's words, he hummed, "Nomination? It seems that nominations can be obtained easily."
Deng Chao smiled awkwardly when he heard the word, and said, "You are right. Fan Binbin is not an academic. Although his acting skills are OK, he is far inferior to Zhou Xun, who is also not an academic."
"If Zhou Xun got the role, he might have the chance to be nominated."
"Fan Binbin is indeed difficult."
"Hey, what do you mean? I look down on non-academic actors, right?" When talking about these things, Sun Li felt uncomfortable at first, and she was even more uncomfortable now.
Deng Chao saw that Sun Li was a little angry and realized that the other party was not academic. He immediately covered his mouth and then explained with a smile: "I didn't say about you, your acting skills are very good, I'm talking about Fan Binbin."
Sun Li snorted without any appreciation, and snorted coldly, saying, "You are academic, you have good acting skills!"
After saying that, she turned her head and walked quickly.
Deng Chao felt a headache when he saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
……………
On the other side, Huayi’s Wang Zhongjun, Feng Xiaogang and others also finished watching the movie "Interstellar".
Wang Zhongjun wanted to hear Feng Xiaogang's opinion, and then asked, "Xiaogang, what do you think of this movie?"
Feng Xiaogang sighed, "Although I don't want to admit it, "Interstellar" is really good."
"Is the box office possible that it will surpass our "Tangshan"?" Wang Zhongjun asked immediately.
The "Tangshan" produced by Huayi and directed by Feng Xiaogang has been released nationwide on July 22.
Compared with the original timeline, the special effects of "Tangshan" have been improved, and the box office has also been improved.
In the original timeline, "Tangshan" achieved a box office of 673 million yuan.
Now, it has exceeded 700 million.
"I don't know." Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Our "Tangshan" has some special significance, and it has achieved a box office of 700 million."
"As a foreign language film, "Interstellar" is difficult to have such potential."
"However, you also know that Cameron's "Avatar" had a box office of 1 billion, and Wang Shu's "Pacific Rim" also had a box office of 1 billion."
"At present, this "Interstellar" is not only directed by Wang Shu, but it is really like that."
"So it's not good to say how many box offices can you achieve in the end."
Wang Zhongjun nodded after hearing this and said, "It's really hard to say, but based on the enthusiasm of the audience who just saw in the theater for this movie, the box office should not be low."
"It's really not low." Feng Xiaogang responded without comment. "I just said it. Although I don't want to admit it, this movie is indeed very good."
"It's not only commercial, but also artistic."
When Wang Zhongjun heard the words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If Wang Zhonglei had not put on airs back then, Wang Shu would probably be the director of Huayi.
If you missed it, you really missed it.
Faced with Feng Xiaogang, he did not express these emotions, but said: "I see that many people recommend Liu Cixin's science fiction works to Wang Shu. Haven't we never found a suitable script?"
"Or why should we first get the film and television adaptation rights of Liu Cixin's science fiction works, and then bring it to the big screen. What do you think?"
Feng Xiaogang was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he was not able to speak up and refuse directly.
At present, many people recommend Liu Cixin's science fiction works to Wang Shu, but they have not recommended them to him.
If they cut it off and then did not make the movie well, then Feng Xiaogang would become a national joke.
He has never made a science fiction film and is not sure about this type of film.
So…
Feng Xiaogang thought for a while and said, "Forget it. There are many domestic science fiction books, so it's okay to find other ones. There is no need to force Liu Cixin to find them."
Wang Zhongjun did not want to give up and said, "Although there are many domestic science fiction books, they are not as famous as Liu Cixin."
"I think many people recommend Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" to Wang Shu. Why don't we buy the copyright of this book and make it a script to make a science fiction blockbuster?"
Feng Xiaogang opened his mouth. He knew that since Wang Zhongjun said that, then no matter whether he filmed or not, Wang Zhongjun would buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Three-Body Problem".
Since that's the case, he was too lazy to say more and said, "You can do it yourself."
He thought to himself that even if Wang Zhongjun gets the right to adapt the film and television adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem", it doesn't mean he will definitely direct it.
See how the script is then. If it is really good, it is not impossible to give it a try.
If you are not satisfied, let Wang Zhongjun ask Gao Ming for another request. (This chapter ends)
