Chapter 411 27 Seconds
Because "The Wolf of Wall Street" is so suitable for the occasion, it has a high probability of winning an Oscar. Matt Damon is more concerned about the production of this movie than Wang Shu. .
Under normal circumstances, a Chinese-language film director like Wang Shu, who is new to Hollywood, would not have the right to edit.
The "original" movies that hit theaters are basically edited by producers and film companies.
For example, director Zack Snyder's "Justice League", the "original" movie that hit theaters was produced by Warner Bros.
The director's cut version that was released later was the hand of the director.
In order to give "The Wolf of Wall Street" better results, Matt Damon also gave Wang Shu the right to edit the film.
That is, the director's cut version of "The Wolf of Wall Street".
He will decide which version to use by comparing Wang Shu’s director’s cut with his own version.
If Matt Damon thinks Wang Shu's director's cut is superior, then the director's cut will be the "original version" released to the public.
After a busy day, Wang Shu was called out by Sister Shitou, saying that a female friend was in a bad mood and asked him to come over and drink together.
Wang Shu couldn’t refuse, so he changed his clothes and went out.
When he arrived at the place, he found that the friend Shitou mentioned was actually Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift has already met Sister Shitong when she was 17 years old, and the two are indeed friends.
But
Sister Shitou said Swift was in a bad mood, could it be...?
On September 12, Taylor Swift released her solo single "LoveStory".
"LoveStory" peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Taylor Swift's fifth single to reach the top five on the chart.
This song was certified as a five-time platinum single by the Recording Industry Association of America, making Taylor Swift the female singer with the highest sales of digital singles in the United States in 2009.
This single brought Taylor Swift more international attention and was a turning point in her music career.
Although it is now 2008, and although this single has just been released, it has already received quite a response.
It stands to reason that Taylor Swift should be in a good mood right now.
"Hello, I'm Taylor." 18-year-old Swift greeted with a smile.
"Hello, I am Wang Shu." Wang Shu answered with a smile.
The 18-year-old Taylor Swift is still very young, and her appearance is average. Apart from her height of 1.8 meters and her slender figure, there is nothing particularly outstanding about her.
The peak of her appearance was around 13 years old. During this period, she had a girlish look and exquisite makeup. Coupled with a slender figure that was no less than that of a supermodel, she was considered a great beauty.
It’s just that most European and American actresses have a relatively short period of peak beauty.
Once the peak period of appearance is over, she transforms into an aunt.
Taylor Swift is no exception.
"I know, Emma told me about you." Swift glanced sideways at Sister Shitou and said with a smile.
After a brief introduction to each other, the three of them started chatting while drinking some wine.
Sister Shitou told Swift that Wang Shu is a very talented creative director, and Swift was originally a singer-songwriter. After learning about Wang Shu’s achievements in the film field, she learned about "The Tuner" "The screenwriter and director is Wang Shu, which aroused some curiosity.
When Sister Shitou said that she would introduce Wang Shu to her, Swift was very happy.
Taylor Swift debuted in 2006, and it has only been 2 years since her debut.
It is undeniable that in the future she will become the most popular female singer in North America and one of the most famous female singers in the world.
But now, she is still a little country singer.
Although the albums and singles released since their debut have achieved certain results, this period is still in the "War of the Gods" stage.
New country singers like Swift are nowhere near as good as those well-known singers.
Had she had a celebrity status, she wouldn’t have been raped by Kanye Wei when she attended the 26th MTV Music Video Awards in 2009 and won the “Best Female Singer Video” award. Ste grabbed the microphone on stage and even praised his friend Beyoncé in public that her MV was better.
The implication is that the award belongs to Beyoncé, not Taylor.
Although many people supported Swift afterwards, for this to happen, it is obvious that the well-known seniors in the American music industry did not take Swift as a country singer seriously at all.
This is indeed the case, because Swift did not dare to resist when she was treated like this.
It wasn’t until he came up in the future that he paid back this shame.
"Shu, I heard from Emma that you made an art film and are preparing to participate in the Academy Awards, right?" Swift asked, starting the conversation.
"Yes." Wang Shu glanced at Sister Shitou and responded with a smile.
Sister Shitou saw Wang Shu looking over and pouted at him.
Taylor Swift turned her head to look at Sister Shitou, then turned back and said, "Are you confident?"
"Of course!" Wang Shu responded noncommittally.
They are all young people, and since they are in the United States, their words are sharper, which is more in line with the characteristics of young artists.
When Swift heard this, her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but glance at Sister Shitong again, and then joked: "Oscar Awards, are you so confident?"
Wang Shu smiled and said: "If it was "The Tuner", I might not have enough confidence."
"In this "The Wolf of Wall Street", I have confidence."
Seeing Swift looked confused and continued to explain, "Lehman went bankrupt and the financial crisis broke out. You must have seen the news or heard about it, right?"
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is a movie related to finance. , during this period, if you sign up for the Oscars, you have a high probability of winning the award.”
Sister Shitou only played a small supporting role in the crew, and she didn’t think about it at first, but now. Hearing Wang Shu say this, he was suddenly in disbelief.
Seeing that Swift didn't seem to understand what she meant, she immediately explained.
After listening to Sister Shitou’s explanation, Swift was a little enlightened.
“So, it’s really possible to win the award?” Swift was equally incredulous.
Seeing this, Wang Shu smiled and nodded calmly.
This wave made him pretend.
Although Swift is not an actor, it is impossible not to know that the Academy Awards are the most valuable film awards in Hollywood.
The directors who can win this award are all well-known directors.
Wang Shu is only 22 years old.
It would be really unbelievable if I really won the grand prize at the Academy Awards.
And now, it seems like we can really win a prize! ! !
Moreover, I heard from Emma that Wang Shu is not only the director, he also wrote the script, and he writes and directs all the movies he directs.
Taylor Swift considers herself to be a talented singer-songwriter, but now she pales in comparison to Wang Shu.
Sister Shitou is also feeling incredible.
She couldn't help but say: "I thought that Director Wang's "The Tuner" would be extremely dazzling with a global box office of 500 million, but I didn't expect that it would also win an Academy Award."
"If Director Wang won the Academy Award at the beginning of next year, so when Director Wang came to Hollywood, he not only achieved results in the commercial field, but also in the art film field.”
When Swift heard this, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Has "The Tuner" grossed 500 million worldwide?"
She went to see "The Tuner" in the theater, but she didn't pay attention because she was busy with work. Box office, now that I heard Sister Shitou say this, I exclaimed again.
She knows the concept of 500 million global box office. Although there are many directors in Hollywood who have made films with global box office revenue exceeding 500 million, they are only a minority.
Not to mention, Wang Shu is still a 22-year-old young director from China.
Swifty looked at Wang Shu with eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
“Yes, 500 million.” Sister Shitou nodded.
"Shu, you are so awesome!" Swift got the exact answer and praised her without hesitation.
Wang Shu smiled modestly and said: "You are also very good."
"I have listened to the single "LoveStory" you released not long ago, and it is quite good."
< br>
"With your talent, you will definitely achieve great results."
"It is not impossible to become the most popular singer in the United States in the future."
In 2016, Kim Cardy Shan illegally released the edited recording files and maliciously guided the public, causing Swift to become involved in the public opinion war.
After a year of silence, he came to the stage again and cleared up the injustice, which made his popularity rise.
In this era, most of the once popular pop singers in the United States have fallen from the altar, but Swift has been on the rise.
Then, play the feminist card.
Under this "general trend", she became the most popular female singer in North America.
In other words, it’s not that Swift is strong, but that her rival’s singing career is either on the way to success or on the road to failure.
In the end, the one who remains is king.
"Do you also know music?" Swift asked in surprise when she saw that what Wang Shu said was true.
Wang Shu smiled and said, "I understand a little bit."
Taylor Swift had just realized something when Sister Shitou suddenly said: "Taylor, Shu has released a single in China."
Stone My sister got to know Wang Shu in depth after she starred in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and had sex with Wang Shu.
It was precisely because he knew Wang Shu was also a "singer" that he introduced him to Swift.
“Huh?” Swift was confused when she heard this, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.
"Really, I didn't lie to you." After finishing speaking, Sister Shitou looked at Wang Shu and asked, "Really, Shu?"
Wang Shu heard this, touched his nose, and said: "Yes, publish Single.”
Sister Shitou’s words reminded him of the period when he was filming idol dramas in China.
Many of the "war songs" were sung by him himself.
Taylor Swift was already numb at this moment, and she subconsciously asked: "Did you compose the song yourself?"
Wang Shu saw Sister Shitou looking over and nodded immediately.
"." Swifty and Sister Shitou were both silent.
Although Sister Shitou learned that Wang Shu had released a single, she did not fully understand that it was composed by Wang Shu.
Thinking that Wang Shu is a talented director and it is impossible for him to understand music creation under normal circumstances, he subconsciously thinks that Wang Shu is only a singer, not a creative director.
Now that I know that even the songs were composed by Wang Shu, I feel numb.
She couldn't help but complain: "What else can't you do?"
Sitting next to Swift and Wang Shu, Sister Shitou felt even more stressed.
Taylor Swift is a creative genius girl, and Wang Shu is not only a genius creative director. She can also compose songs, but she is the only one who is so ordinary.
Don’t let people live anymore? !
“Haha.” Wang Shu smiled and said, “There are many people who don’t know how.”
Hearing this, Sister Shitou couldn't help but roll her eyes in return.
Seeing this, Swift couldn't help but smile.
After these episodes, the three of them became obviously more talkative. They drank wine and chatted until late at night.
Sister Shitou and Swift were sitting in a car. She looked at Swift next to her and asked with a smile: "How is it? Amazing, right?"
"It's indeed amazing. Swift nodded, and then asked, "Do you know the song published by Shu?"
"What? Do you want to hear it?" Sister Shitou immediately understood what Swift meant.
"Yeah." Swift nodded, and then explained, "Shu is so talented. Listening to his songs may be helpful to my creation."
Stone The sister was noncommittal after hearing this, and then said: "You should be able to search it on the Internet. Let's go back and look for it."
"If you can't find it, ask him again."
"Okay. "Taylor Swift answered with a smile.
Sister Shitou saw that Swift's expression was no longer as gloomy as before Wang Shu's arrival, so she smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
After hearing this, Swift rolled her eyes.
Taylor Swift had a relationship in 2008 that lasted for three months.
That is, from July 2008 to October 2008.
This man is Disney idol Joe Jonas and Swift’s first public love.
It's just that while Joe Jonas was dating Swift, he fell in love with Camilla Belle, the heroine who starred in his music video who was three years older than him, and was caught by Swift.
Before Swift could get angry, Joe Jonas dumped Swift with a 27-second phone call.
It wasn’t that Swift caught Joe Jonas cheating on her during their relationship and said she wanted to break up, but that Joe Jonas directly called Swift after he was cheated on her.
This feeling makes Swift so angry that she feels dizzy.
It’s not that Luck is reluctant to part with this relationship, but it’s just too irritating.
It was not her fault, but she was called to break up by the other party within 27 seconds.
I was really angry, so I composed two songs, "Forever and Always" and "Better than Revenge", both of which were related to this relationship.
Not only did he vent his anger by writing songs, but he also talked about this relationship many times when he was on the show. Although he was basically making fun of himself, it was clear that this experience of making him angry and dizzy really left a deep impression on him.
Wang Shu knew about this matter, so when he heard Sister Shitou saying that Swift was in a bad mood, he guessed that this was probably the matter.
However, looking at Swift's relationship, I have to say that it is very American.
In the original timeline, Swift had more than a dozen relationships, most of which lasted between 1 and 3 months
Wang Shu returned to the apartment, took a shower, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Until dawn.
It’s a new day, and I’m busy editing “The Wolf of Wall Street” again.
After his efforts, the guide and cut version was finally completed.
Matt Damon was confused when he learned the news. The version he edited has not yet been completed. Has the director's version edited by Wang Shu been completed?
How could the director's cut be faster than the editing done by a lot of people here?
I then felt that Wang Shu’s cut version was unreliable.
The editing was completed in such a short period of time. Nine times out of ten, it was a coping work.
