On January 25, 2011, the list of nominations for the Academy Awards was announced.
As the biggest winner at the Golden Globes, La La Land has indeed nominated many awards.
After the nomination list has not been announced, many people have already guessed this in their hearts.
After all, "La La Land" swept the Golden Globes, and even the Best Actress Award was won by young actress Emma Stone.
It is impossible to be nominated for the Oscars so strong.
After the nomination list was announced, "La La Land" suddenly became a popular winner.
Even if many people speculate in their hearts that the American Film Academy will probably not let Wang Shu, the Chinese director, become the first director in Oscar history to have three consecutive Oscars for Best Director, on the surface, but they also agree that La Liga has the greatest probability of winning.
Because this movie has indeed become popular in the United States, it has caused quite a response.
To date, the box office has exceeded 300 million US dollars.
A art film, even if it does not have a box office of 400 million US dollars, is an extremely proud achievement.
Because, even commercial films can achieve box office results of more than 100 million to 200 million in the local area, it is also a very excellent record.
It's like "Twilight".
Of course, the premise is that the cost is not high.
The cost of "La La Land" is not very high. It can be said to be a small-cost movie. Now it has exceeded 300 million US dollars in North America alone, which has shocked many people.
So, during this period, producers or investors have been seeking cooperation with Wang Shu through various means.
Some investors even brought beautiful actresses with them, implying that they could sleep as long as they cooperate.
As an upright person, Wang Shu could not be impressed by a simple beauty plan?
Not to say anything else, just the hints of Angelina starring, Nicole Kidman and others, he has no time to deal with it, let alone this kind of thing.
Of course, he also admitted that the actors brought by these investors are all protruding in front and erect in the back, and have a great figure.
Even if the figure is not like this, he is still a famous actress.
The investor wants to cooperate with Wang Shu because Wang Shu makes money by making movies and wants to make money.
While the actress is paid, she can work with Wang Shu to a higher level in her career. Why not do it?
The interests are consistent.
So, actresses are willing to do this.
But, Wang Shu is honest and does not engage in these transactions.
Now in Hollywood, not only producers and investors are seeking to cooperate with Wang Shu, but even the eight major film and television companies are seeking to cooperate with him.
For example, Paramount and Warner took the initiative to help him set up a production company in Hollywood and establish a cooperative relationship.
This model is similar to Spielberg's previous collaboration with Paramount and now with Disney.
Simply put, it means only participating in investment and not interfering in Wangshu's production.
They will release the film globally after it is completed.
Of course, if the cost is too high, you can also bring other companies to join and share the cost.
To be honest, this cooperation model is indeed very sincere. It is believed that Paramount and Warner wanted to impress Wang Shu first to avoid him reaching cooperation with other companies, so they were in a hurry to do so.
After all, no one is optimistic about the song and dance film, and he really succeeded in filming it.
The strength is unquestionable.
If you don’t rush to reach a cooperation, you will be foolish and unable to get over money.
Wang Shu was actually quite satisfied with the conditions given by Paramount and Warner.
The United States has been in the founding of the country for two hundred years, and its film distribution and theater chain have long been monopolized.
Without the background of a bull's nose, you can't continue to get along if you intervene in these two points.
So, Wang Shu himself cannot interfere in these two points, and the rest is independent production.
It's like a big Hollywood director like Nolan and other Hollywood directors set up a production company and independently produced it.
Of course, independent production is not the share of the entire film being invested by its own production company, so it is difficult to have a good distribution channel.
In order for the better release of the movie, the share must be shared.
Nolan independently produces and makes movies, which itself also attracts investors to share risks, and can also make the movies better distributed.
Wang Shu is different. He basically makes money by making movies, so he doesn't need to share risks.
But, in order for the better release of the movie, I still scored a share.
Besides, sharing the profit share is actually a more profitable choice than eating alone.
Eating alone may lead to distribution hinderment, resulting in poor box office.
While the distribution of profit shares is not hindered, the plate can be made larger and the profits are therefore more.
In this case, the final benefit is likely to be higher than eating alone.
For example, Disney releases Marvel movies, which can make Marvel movies released in many cinemas around the world only show this shit.
In this case, even a piece of shit can be ground to produce a pretty good box office.
If the movie is of high quality, it will be a hit.
Although Paramount and Warner both gave good conditions, Wang Shu was still considering it.
Although Paramount is OK now, it will be acquired by Tianwu Media in 2024.
This company has produced many world-renowned film and television works such as Star Trek and Mission Impossible.
Tianwu Media is actually a company under Hongniao Capital.
As for Warner, he is stronger than Paramount.
It's just that Warner is either infighting or on the road of infighting.
Nolan originally cooperated well with Warner, but because of the infighting in Warner, he finally parted ways with him.
So, Wang Shu was considering that he had set up an independent production company anyway, so there was no need to hang himself on a tree. He could cooperate with Paramount, Warner, and even more Hollywood companies such as Disney.
…………
"Shu, are you going to return to China?"
Taylor asked with a look up, and there was Sister Shitou sitting next to her.
The three of them are having dinner in a private room in a high-end restaurant. "Yes, it's our country's Spring Festival soon. I'll go back in a few days." Wang Shu answered.
New Year's Eve is February 2, and less than a week remains.
Tay Swift listened to Yan and looked at Sister Shitou and said, "I heard that the Spring Festival in your country is very interesting?"
Wang Shu smiled and said, "It's really interesting. I have the opportunity to take you to experience it in the future."
Although there is a Chinatown in the United States, the two of them can go to Chinatown to experience the atmosphere, but it is different after all.
Tay Swift and Sister Shitou were very happy to hear this and responded, "Okay, I'll go if I have the chance in the future."
Generally, they won't go.
But together with Wang Shu, he was quite interested.
Tay Swift then looked at Sister Shi and said, "Shu, Emma has also nominated the Academy Award for Best Actress. Do you think she can win the award?"
Wang Shu continued helplessly when he heard this: "It depends on what the academy thinks, how do I know?"
After saying that, he paused, then said, "But I personally think Emma is the best performer among the nominated actors. I personally think Emma is the most likely to win the award."
When Sister Shitou heard this, her emotional value was satisfied, and she smiled on her face, and helped Wang Shu answer, "Yes, Shu is not a member of the college, and it is not his decision to win the prize."
After saying that, "I am very happy to be nominated this time."
"It's not particularly important whether she can win the prize."
"Of course, if I can win the prize, I will definitely be happier." "But if I can't win the prize, I can accept it."
Her mentality is relatively relaxed. After all, Sister Shitou also knows that as a new actress, she is a luxury to become an Oscar winner at a young age.
Not to mention that there are so many powerful actresses competing with each other.
However, winning the Best Actress Award at the Golden Globe Awards also made her look forward to the Little Golden Man at the Academy Awards.
Seeing that Sister Shitou didn't seem to be lying, Taylor Swift couldn't help but say, "You're very open-minded."
Switou is different from Taylor Swift. She worked hard all the way in Hollywood, and knew that the award was not that easy to win.
Taylor Swift became famous at a young age and won basically all the awards that country music can win at a young age, and then switched to pop music, winning various awards.
"What if it is?" Sister Shi Tou asked.
Of course she wants to win the Oscar Little Golden Man, but she also knows the difference between herself and other actors.
Seeing this, Taylor Swift curled his lips and stopped talking.
Then, he looked at Wang Shu again and said, "Shu, you are also so interested in creating songs. Do you have any songs that have been created and not published?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Wang Shu shook his head and said, "It was because I made some songs because of filming "La La Land". I don't have other songs in my hand."
"Really?" Taylor Swift's eyes were a little disappointed and he pouted.
Wang Shu replied indifferently: "No."
If he wanted to have it, of course he could take out some more songs.
But...even if you pay, you won't take it out so easily.
"Okay." Taylor Swift responded disappointed.
She had hope in her heart when she came.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
The three of them finished their meal and went to Wangshu's apartment together.
I haven't talked to Wang Shu about my life ideals for a while, and Taylor Swift already missed me a little.
After all, Taylor Swift is not a girl who is ignorant of the world. Wang Shu had already had a boyfriend before communicating with each other.
It is said that without comparison, you cannot judge the advantages and disadvantages.
Tay Swift understands very well that Wang Shu is really amazing...
As for Wang Shu, he is actually not very interested.
Because since the unpopular song and dance film "La La Land" was not only successful after its release, it also made him win the box office at the Golden Globe Awards Sixth High School, and Sister Shi Tou were praised by him as the Golden Globe Awards Best Actress...
This incident has greatly stimulated many actresses in Hollywood.
Some actresses who have had an association with Wang Shu not only teased him if they have something to do or not, but also took the initiative to come to him.
Under this kind of pressure, no matter how good the body is, it can't stand it.
Wang Shu wants to cultivate and nourish his life.
But...
Today is another day when it is difficult to cultivate and nourish.
…
January 28.
Wang Shu has returned to China.
He returned to his country in a low-key manner and returned to his villa in the capital in a low-key manner.
After returning to the villa, he called Mei Zi.
"Return to the capital?" Mei Zi asked.
As the Spring Festival approached, Mei Zi spoke with Wang Shu on the phone and asked him whether he would return to his country. Wang Shu did not hide it and told the truth. "Yes." Wang Shu responded.
"Already in the villa?" Mei Zi asked again. "Yes." Wang Shu answered. "Then I'll go to your place," said Mei Zi.
This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
"Aren't you busy?" Wang Shu suddenly felt kidney pain when he heard this.
"It just happened to be nothing today." Mei Zi said with a smile. "Okay, come on." Wang Shu had to answer the words.
One or two later, Mei Zi appeared in Wang Shu's villa.
…
Through more than an hour of interaction and Wang Shu's urgent appearance, she had concluded that Wang Shu had endured it for a long time.
After enduring for a long time, it shows that Wang Shu has no other women in Hollywood.
In order to make Wang Shu happy, Mei Zi immediately took the initiative to interact with him again.
She knew very well that Wang Shu was very strong. Although she was already tired, Wang Shu would never be tired for more than an hour.
As for Wang Shu, he felt crying without tears when he saw Mei Zi's movements.
We have been talking to each other for more than an hour, why are we still here?
Aren't you tired?
What should I do if I am injured?
However, Mei Zi started again when she saw Wang Shu endure it for so long, with the idea of making him happy even if he was injured.
Wang Shu couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly pretended to be Mei Zi and said, "Do you want to be injured, right?"
Mei Feng looked at Wang Shu when he heard the words, and his big eyes nodded with silver light.
Seeing this, Wang Shu was both heartbroken and helpless, and then touched her face and said, "You are going to the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, so as not to be really injured and go to the hospital."
He is telling the truth. Mei Zi's status has increased significantly since she starred in "Pacific Rim".
This year, I was also invited to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.
Mei Feng heard this and thought about it, but at the same time she was very moved.
Wang Shu was so worried that he could not hold it in his arms. He wanted to be patient but rather consider it for her.
very nice.
Mei Feng stretched out his head and rubbed into Wang Shu's arms, saying, "When the Spring Festival Gala is over, I will come to you again. You can do whatever you want~"
After saying that, he looked up at Wang Shu again.
Wang Shu touched her head and said, "Well, but I have to wait until the New Year. I will go back to my hometown for the New Year during the Spring Festival."
"Ye." Mei Zi responded.
Wang Shu's parents have not come to the capital until now, and she also guessed that Wang Shu would go back to her hometown.
Wang Shu then followed this question and asked: "Where are you going back to your hometown?"
Mei Shi shook his head: "You have to go to the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, and even if I go back to my hometown, I will have dinner with my family on New Year's Eve, and then go back to Beijing to work."
"Since you can't be together on New Year's Eve, there is no need to go back. Take time to go back to visit your parents after the New Year."
Wang Shu laughed and said, "Then you have to perform well on the Spring Festival Gala. If you don't go back, your family will definitely sit in front of the TV to watch."
"Do you see?" Mei Zi asked with his head up.
Wang Shuying said, "Of course."
"However, my family eats in the main hall on New Year's Eve, and there is no TV in the main hall."
"After having the New Year's Eve dinner in the main hall, I go to the bedroom to watch the Spring Festival Gala while chatting."
"If you appear earlier, I might have missed it." (End of this chapter)
