Chapter 292 The industry is boiling! Five years have not dulled the edge! The knife is deadly!
As everyone at home and abroad saw that Guan Ling won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Those who pay a little attention to Guan Ling and the movie will have their heads buzzing for a moment.
A small town in South India, Pondicherry.
This is the least "Indian" city in India. It has a French style and exudes the ancient and mysterious color of India.
Colorful Indian-style bungalows are everywhere.
Indians like colors very much, so India here is full of colors.
On the neat and wide coastal boulevard, there are broad-leaved tropical trees arranged flushly everywhere. Through the windows of the garden house, you can see the endless beach outside.
On the TV in the room, Li An was looking at the screen.
In front of his table, there is the most unique food in India.
An uncut Indian roti, paired with a small portion of the classic Masala Chicken Curry and a cup of Lassi Yogurt.
Lee An misses the taste of home so much.
Especially that yogurt, the name is really right, I really have diarrhea after eating it.
Paired with a glass of slightly turbid water from the Ganges River in India, the taste is so sour and refreshing.
With Quentin’s award ceremony over and Guan Ling receiving the statuette, although the Oscars are not over yet, the entire Chinese film industry seems to have been hit hard in the heart.
Including Ang Lee.
As the only winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in Chinese-language films, Ang Lee has always had a high status.
But his shortcoming is that the box office of Chinese-language films in the Chinese-speaking circle has never been very high.
In Europe and the United States, there is still some ability.
It can be said that it is a bit contrary to Tiangang!
But Ang Lee has always been satisfied with his situation. He enjoys the feeling of riding the waves in Europe and the United States and then being regarded as a standard in the Chinese-speaking world.
“Now, Guan Ling is the first person.”
Li An shook his head and said silently.
No one responded to him, just an empty room.
Suddenly, ding, the phone came.
"An, your record is broken."
Li An's wife called over.
She was in Taiwan and saw the live broadcast.
“I have never served anyone in my life.” Li An said with a smile, “Whether it is Brother Chen Kai or Zhang Yimou, to me, they are all respectable people. They are not friends, but they are not Being a competitor is more of a sympathy.
After all, I know how difficult the road I am taking is. I know how much I suffered to finally stand on this stage. on.
But this time, I was really convinced. "
Li An's voice came slowly, and his wife on the other side was just listening quietly.
"I once asked Guan Ling to do me a favor before. I asked him to take pictures outside. During the movie, bring some soup with you.
You know, Tang is a good girl, but because of me, I was soft-blocked.
As for me, here in North America, if I have to bring Tang Wei along, the role is not particularly suitable.
Tang Wei called me a few days ago. The movie she shot, written by Guan Ling, triggered a demonstration in South Korea and caused the pressure of public opinion in South Korea to reach its peak.
Not only was the old case brought up again, the Korean Congress also began to study legislation.
I really have nothing to say about Guan Ling, his ability to seize opportunities, his script writing, and even his directing skills, other than to describe him as talent.
I am not surprised that this time it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Because I know that he will get it sooner or later.
But I just didn't expect it to be so soon. "
The other end listened quietly and echoed a few words.
"I have to hang up first, Chairman Hou called. "Ang Lee suddenly received a call from Hou Hsiao-hsien.
"Director Li, have you seen it? "
Hou Hsiao-hsien's voice was hurried. After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and added: "It didn't affect your rest, right? "
"No, it's already past seven in the morning India time. "
"That's great, Guan Ling won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. ”
“I saw it. "
"My call is actually a bit presumptuous, but I really can't wait any longer. Hou Hsiao-hsien said, "I know that Director Li, you are more familiar with Guan Ling than I am. There are some things that I can't say, but when did you chat with Director Guan, did you remind him of what he said about supporting Taiwanese films?" "
"I understand what you mean. "Li Andao.
"Taiwanese movies need some vitality." Hou Hsiao-hsien said, "I hope you and Director Guan can help Taiwan."
"My new movie will be shot in Taiwan, but next time I shoot a Chinese-language movie, I will I really don’t have any plans. You know, I’m not very good at screenwriting.”
Hou Hsiao-hsien agreed, “It’s okay if you have the intention.”
Hang up the phone, and Ang Lee was silent. a while.
Chinese-language films actually have a low status in North America and the world.
In the past, Hong Kong films and kung fu films still had some market in North America.
But now, it’s not enough.
As for Taiwanese movies, they have fallen into shackles.
Ang Lee doesn’t know if Guan Ling can help Taiwanese movies, but he himself is definitely helpless.
Only if there is such hope.
Ang Lee knows it very well.
This hope can only be given by Guan Ling.
This guy is a quick shooter!
And the gun hits the target, the target is clear!
......
"Guan Ling, what can I say?"
The news in his hand kept coming, Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Weiping beside him, He smiled helplessly.
“Took it down?”
Zhang Weiping asked while taking down the phone.
As expected, at this moment, the Chinese entertainment circle has exploded.
Various media outlets started reporting frantically. After all, the fact that Guan Ling won the Chinese-language Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was so exciting for the film industry!
Even though he had won the Oscar once before, it was for the script after all.
But it is an English film after all.
But now, this is an authentic Chinese film, and it is also the original Palme d'Or award-winning film!
“Ten years of nominations, twenty years of chasing, Guan Ling’s help in helping Chinese-language films finally come true!”
“What should I say? Guan Ling won the Palme d’Or + Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Award! "Shoplifters" not only stole the love of the family, but also the hearts of audiences around the world!"
"A Thousand Miles of Marriage, a Thousand Thousand Thousand Miles of Marriage! Guan Ling won the best Oscar for the first time for a mainland director! Foreign Language Film Award Winner!"
"Guan Ling's acceptance speech was plain and incoherent as he was shocked by the first prize!"
"Zhou Xun was in tears! The Cannes Best Actress became the successor to Gong Li. Besides Zhang Ziyi, she is the winner of the largest international award for a Chinese film actress!”
“Liu Yifei held Guan Ling’s hand and seemed to be cheering for Guan Ling!”
"Counting down the love-hate relationship between Chinese-language films and Oscars! The famous director Guan Ling wrote and directed "Shoplifters", which will eventually make his way to the Olympics no longer full of regrets!"
The emergence of various news , has been swept across various forums, websites, and Weibo!
On Weibo, Guan Ling's win for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film has become a hot search topic, directly posted at the top of Weibo.
Everyone was dazzled by this news.
For a time, all gossip and propaganda in the entertainment industry were suppressed.
“This guy is so lucky.” Zhang Weiping looked at the excitement that had spread online and was a little bit disgusted.
“Once is luck, twice is luck, and three times is still luck?” Zhang Yimou shook his head, “I, the front wave, was still knocked on the beach by the back wave.”
Zhang Yimou's encounter with Berlin during the Lunar New Year holiday made him calm down, but also made him feel a little regretful. Now that he saw Guan Ling win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, his stories from back then came to his mind again.
Vividly.
"With his level in Hollywood, he must be more familiar with public relations than us."
Zhang Weiping is still unhappy.
Zhang Yimou did not respond to him, but raised his hand on the table, thinking about something.
“It’s time for our movie to start moving.”
“Casting can start at any time, we are already ready.”
“Then Let's get started." Zhang Yimou said, "There must be people praising Guan Ling in the past two days. Let's add another fire to the circle."
"Hawthorn Tree Love". Everything has been prepared.
Everything is ready except the heroine.
The two photos were taken to create the cleanest love story in history.
The requirements for actors are very high.
Some actresses came to interview for the role of heroine before, but none of them could catch Zhang Yimou's discernment.
It took a lot of back and forth, but the decision was made after two pictures. The casting was chosen among the art school students in each city.
This is how Li Man was singled out before.
The two of them are already familiar with each other.
“Your fire may not burn as brightly as Guan Ling’s when the time comes.” Zhang Weiping said.
"What can I do? I don't want to light this fire. But none of these actresses are convincing.
Nowadays, children are getting more and more ugly, and beautiful girls are not To have children with handsome men, they all go to coal bosses, rich people, and old men.
So the current post-90s generation is really bad."
"If your words get out, The circle is in turmoil. Don’t those actresses hate me? Then go ahead and hate me. Now that Guan Ling has a high status, do you think I can be someone who can be rubbed at will? Beautiful.”
Although he said this, Zhang Yimou looked at the photo of Guan Ling on the news.
Looking deeply.
Finally, after Zhang Weiping left, Zhang Yimou asked silently to himself.
“Why not me?”
……
Nortel.
Beijing Film Academy, which has just started its term, is entering the happiest time on campus.
The trees on the campus are green and the flowers are blooming. It is March, and in two months, it will be summer. By then, the campus will be full of long, white legs.
Today is Women’s Day, and scenes of sending flowers to female teachers are everywhere on campus.
Some students also started sending flowers to their girlfriends.
Celebrate that your girlfriend has become a young woman.
But in the directing department, the vice president of the film school who is responsible for directing, and most of the teachers in the directing department are gathered in an office at the moment.
The moment the screen won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
The office was silent.
Then, a loud shout erupted.
The gentlemen who have always been polite are now shouting that common slogan.
“Awesome!”
Huang Lei looked at everyone and felt funny in his heart. As a teacher of the performance department, he also took the initiative to join in the fun this time.
But as a cultural person and a smart person, Huang Lei couldn't help laughing when he saw the excited expressions of these directors.
What is culture or not? One sentence is awesome and you can conquer the world.
We are all teachers, and expressing our emotions is equally straightforward!
“We got it!”
The vice principal quieted everyone down, “Director Tian, give Guan Ling a call.”
Everyone began to wait for Tian Zhuangzhuang Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded and started dialing.
Dudududu.
Dudududu.
As the busy tone keeps coming to mind.
Everyone's initial excitement subsided a little at this time.
“Can’t get in touch.” Tian Zhuangzhuang said, “Although he has nothing to do at this time, he just won the award, so it’s normal that he can’t get through. We must not be the only ones.”
“Yes. Yes, I forgot about it." Although the vice-principal was impatient, he also reacted at this time.
"Then I have to hand over this task to Director Tian." The vice principal said, "This Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film will be the first stop when he returns to China. I want it to be at Nortel."
"Understood. , I will let Guan Ling come."
"You don't understand me." The vice principal said, "It doesn't matter whether Guan Ling comes or not. He is already a celebrity in the school, so he will come or not. Come on, it doesn’t mean much. I’m talking about the trophy.”
Everyone here was amused by the vice principal’s bluntness.
“I really understand this time.”
Tian Zhuangzhuang finally reacted.
The trophy can come, but Guan Ling had better not come. Now that Guan Ling is here, how will the school leaders perform?
Do the students listen to Guan Ling or the school?
This honor does belong to Guan Ling, but Guan Ling belongs to Nortel, so this honor naturally belongs to Nortel.
If you belong to Nortel, then you belong to Nortel’s school leaders.
Guan Ling is here, it’s not easy to follow Zhong Xi, he’s just pretending to be in the show!
“The trophy is the top priority after returning to China.” The dean of the directing department suddenly said to everyone, “But I think we at Nortel must take the initiative to celebrate Guan Ling this time.”
“I get angry when I talk about this.” The vice-principal said, “Guan Ling should have been given an extension in the first place, but next time he graduates from graduate school, we will have to be cowardly when we contact him.”
Everyone laughed again.
"Principal, if Guan Ling heard what you said, everyone would be numb." Huang Lei joked.
"Xiao Huang, you are young." The vice-principal did not pay attention until he spoke. As soon as he spoke, the vice-principal directly called his name, "You are from the acting department, and you came to the directing department to join in the fun?"
< br>"This is not to see what the leaders and professors are going to talk about. If there is any need, I can also make suggestions."
"There is really a need, this time the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film , Guan Ling took it. But after leaving school, do you think we can do something to continue to make the school famous?"
Huang Lei thought for a while.
“I really have a trick.”
"Put it out."
"Let's invite the media for an exclusive interview to learn about Director Guan's film masterpieces during his time at Nortel. After all, Director Guan has been at Nortel for six years. We have too many stories to tell. Promotion. Finally, let’s go straight to the topic, Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, let’s do it again!”
“Okay, okay!” The vice-principal said, “That’s it!”
Nortel acted quickly. The next day, Nortel published an exclusive interview.
“The edge has not been dulled in five years, and the sword is deadly!”
As soon as this interview came out, the entire film and television industry was left speechless.
Especially when it comes to Chinese dramas and acting, my face turns green.
Are you so deadly? Whose life? Our lives? !
