Chapter 225 Inception
Oscar Night, Sleepless Night.
After attending the Oscar dinner, I received some interviews. When I returned to the villa provided by Colombia, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
Cao Yang thought Dong Xuan would be very tired, but he didn't know that Dong Xuan was obviously more excited than him. It was probably because of his first Oscar.
Help Dong Xuan take off his evening dress with great effort. Before Cao Yang could say anything, Dong Xuan pulled into the independent and spacious bathroom to warm up before the game.
Fish carry peaches and waving in the spring water, breaking through the pine forest with smoke.
After a battle song, the two of them were still in the bathroom, just in time to wash up and go to the next battlefield.
It's said that it's a warm-up before the game, and the main competition hasn't started yet.
The intermission is also the skill cooling time. Dong Xuan told Cao Yang about what happened today, especially Li Zi's rescue.
They came for Cao Yang's face. If they hadn't known that Dong Xuan was Cao Yang's female companion, they were full and could help a Chinese actor who was not well-known.
Dong Xuan would not think that Li Zi was interested in her and only helped her to save the situation.
As we all know, Little Li only likes young supermodels, and his current girlfriend is Gisele Bundchen, the most famous supermodel in the world.
At this Academy Awards Ceremony, Little Little took her on the red carpet.
"Little Lizi will help you to offend the International Chapter... Do you think Little Lizi is interested in you?"
Cao Yang smiled and joked.
Well, although International Zhang is still famous, Li Zi really may not know her, and even if she has heard of it, she won’t care.
Little Lizi is also considerate.
"Go to you, who doesn't know about Hollywood. He only likes supermodels. With such beautiful girlfriend as Gisele Bangchen, he keeps rumoring to other supermodels. I have heard the news that he keeps meeting with different supermodels in China."
Dong Xuan gently hammered Cao Yang and said with a smile:
"Besides, I have you enough, I don't like foreigners. Most of the foreigners have body odors, and they have a lot of body odors. I can't understand how those who look for foreigners endure these."
Cao Yang thought about it, but he couldn't figure out this problem. Perhaps those people like men with experience?
Haha, of course he could understand what a little bit of body savor would count for those people in a purposeful situation.
"Ask you a question and see if you can answer it."
Cao Yang said while flirting with the flowers and plants, "What is the excitement of the people above and the people below?"
Dong Xuan was stunned, laughed at the savage, and asked in a sweet voice: "Do you want to be excited or excited?"
Cao Yang knocked Dong Xuan on the head and said seriously: "What are you thinking about? I'm thinking about these messy things every day. I'm talking about the concert."
"Concert?"
Dong Xuan was stunned for a moment, then approached Cao Yang's ear and asked softly: "Does you need to sing with your mouth for the concert? I also want to sing a song with a microphone..."
Since you want to sing with a microphone, then come, it's not that you don't have a microphone.
So, the second half began.
Cao Yang obviously felt that Dong Xuan had a lot of "meeting" tonight, even if every move was not standard, he was very immature.
In the past, Dong Xuan either tied two ponytails, wore Goddess Dragon's costume and bit her hair, or was a female knight, and the rest were all passively completed.
Tonight is different.
But it is precisely because of its youth that it can arouse men's "wildness" and sense of accomplishment.
Dong Xuan originally thought that reading some "teaching materials" for small days would allow Cao Yang to walk on the wall tomorrow.
Exercise and actual combat are different.
Just like the "gangster's excitement punch", it will only arouse the fighting power of men.
After two rounds, Dong Xuan had to surrender and said weakly: "Brother, let's be here tonight."
To this end?
This is wherever you go!
To be honest, Cao Yang was still a little excited about winning the Oscar for Best Director.
Even if he repeatedly told himself that this was just an award for Hollywood self-entertainment and was not worth making a fuss.
But, this is an Oscar after all, and it is the most globally influential award of this era.
It's impossible not to be excited.
It would be fine if this kind of excitement is not aroused, but once it is aroused, it is the easiest to transform into combat power.
The fragrance and sweat were darkly wet, and the spring breeze penetrated the jade pot. The joy is clear and the sword is clear, and the pleasure flows away the beads.
The next day, Dong Xuan was so energetic that she looked rosy.
Cao Yang was a little depressed. He originally planned to go to Fox Searchlight to see the later version of "Juno".
But before he could set off, Colombia's executive director Tom Rossman came. This is really too late. I am afraid that the night will be long and the dream will be too long, so Cao Yang is "seduced" by other major Hollywood studios.
"My dear Mr. Director, congratulations on winning the best director that countless directors have always dreamed of. This is Colombia's sincerity, are you satisfied?"
If you want to say that foreigners are really not humble sometimes and speak directly enough, when they see Cao Yang, Tom Rossman hugged him exaggeratedly and said with a smile.
It pointed out Colombia's efforts. Tom Rossman was afraid that it would only mention this to make Cao Yang disgusted, and then continued: "Of course, your directorial skills are good. "The Ninth District" was very exciting. Otherwise, even if Colombia struggled to operate, it would not be successful. The basis for success is based on the quality of the film."
Cao Yang knew Colombia's purpose. In order to win over him, the other party had no conditions in advance, and directly showed sincerity, and then came to talk about the matter.
For foreigners, this is indeed a very sincere expression.
"Tom, I have been thinking about this for a while. It’s not that I don’t want to work with Colombia, but that I think the time for filming "2012" is wrong. The closer this movie is to be released in 12 years, the better the effect will be."
Cao Yang has indeed considered this. If this movie was made in 10 years and released in 2011, wouldn’t it be more gimmick?
Of course, this is just one of the reasons.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
The main reason is that Cao Yang doesn't want to make this movie. For him, even if the box office is good, the bonus to him is not large.
To put it bluntly, this movie does not have much artistic elements. If he shoots it, it will definitely be criticized.
Cao Yang was sure that he would definitely be criticized by others at that time, and he could even imagine what those people would say.
"Since the end of the world is now, why are you a famous literary and artistic director all over the world? Why don't you just try it out and explore human nature in depth? Isn't this kind of subject suitable for exploring human nature in depth..."
If you really describe human nature a little deeper, the movie will become boring, which will definitely affect the box office, and it will really be his "Waterloo".
If an investment of over 100 million US dollars is sold worldwide at a box office of less than 400 million US dollars, Cao Yang's current influence and reputation will definitely be a failed work.
Colombia would not consider so much, so they would not care about art or not. What they want is box office and big sales.
Last year, "The Day Afternoon" was released and the disaster movie seemed to be a big deal, and the possibility of success was greater, so Colombia chose "2012".
The same thing, movies with big investments must be stable.
If you really explore human nature in the movie, Cao Yang is sure that even if he has complete autonomy in advance, even if Colombia turns against him, even if he risks the consequences of offending Cao Yang, he will edit a version of "2012" by himself.
An investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is not just a talk. If a movie with such investment fails, it will be a huge blow to the film company.
It may even cause a series of chain reactions, which will eventually lead to the company's bankruptcy and liquidation.
The failure of "The Wind Whisperer" led to a chain reaction of MGM and became the fuse for MGM's bankruptcy.
The Titanic initially invested 100 million US dollars, but Cameron was too "dragged" and a series of storms, 20th Century Fox had to bite the bullet and add additional investment.
If Paramount hadn't had it been for his help and gave more than 60 million in aid, Twentieth Century Fox would have almost gone bankrupt at that time.
Tom Rossman thought.
He admitted that what Cao Yang said made sense, and the closer he got to 12 years of release, the more gimmick it would definitely be.
However, there is a lot of uncertainty in the movie.
What he and the senior executives in Colombia can be sure of is that the release of "The Day Afternoon" last year will make the "Destroy the World" disaster movie more easily accepted by the audience and will be easier to succeed again.
As for what will happen in a few years, who knows what will happen, is not sure too much.
"Mr. Director, what you said makes sense. The more you go back, the more gimmicks you have. But you have to know that the success of a movie is not enough to rely solely on gimmicks, but many other factors need to be considered." Tom Rossman said very seriously, trying to convince Cao Yang.
"You have won the Oscar for Best Director now, and it is the time to attract much attention. As long as you claim to film "2012", I dare say that this news is all about the world tomorrow.
In addition, the theme is a disaster movie, everyone is even more curious, and this is two-thirds of the success..."
"Tom, let me just say it, I have a Chinese art film to film now, and I don't have much interest in "2012" for the time being."
Cao Yang looked at Tom Rossman's changed face and knew that the old guy had misunderstood and thought he had fooled him and Colombia.
So he continued: "I am interested in adapting another short story of mine. Depp was interested in this novel long before filming "The Ninth District". I think as long as I shoot this movie, Depp will join even if he has a salary cut."
Tom Rossman's expression moved, and Depp, who has steadily entered the "20 million club", will join?
He was moved.
Now Depp's influence is at its greatest time. If it is rumored that he cooperates with Cao Yang again, what a gimmick it is, it definitely brings popularity and discussion. "Which movie is it?" Tom Rossman couldn't help asking.
"Inception, I want to film Inception."
