Chapter 437 Money, Money, Money, Money
For "Slumdog Millionaire" to win the Academy Award, it really satisfied the curiosity of the old men in the American Academy about third world countries and the Yankees' sense of superiority.
In 2008, this movie went to many film festivals and didn’t even win a single one. People inside and outside the industry didn’t think this movie could win awards. In 2009, it unexpectedly won the Golden Globe Award and the Golden Globe Award. The grand prize at the Academy Awards.
However, this year’s Golden Globe and Academy Awards received an extra film, "The Wolf of Wall Street". Although "Slumdog Millionaire" is in line with the appetite of the old men in the American Academy, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is not More suitable for the occasion.
The premiere of the movie was not grand. After the premiere, there was a buffet-style dinner.
During the dinner, some Hollywood filmmakers took the opportunity to chat with Wang Shu.
At this point in time, many people in Hollywood have roughly understood the content of "The Wolf of Wall Street", and they are all quite confused.
The impact of the outbreak of the financial crisis is still continuing, and this matter is the most popular in the United States.
During this period, a movie suitable for the occasion will be released in theaters.
Is it such a coincidence?
Not to mention these people are confused, the old guys at the American Film Institute are also confused.
The financial crisis is reported every day on TV and the Internet. Everyone knows that the United States has once again suffered a huge financial crisis.
The crisis has not subsided yet, and a movie about Wall Street has appeared.
And it is a movie with such uncomfortable content! ! !
Under normal circumstances, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is based on the life of the real-life Wall Street tycoon Jordan Belfort, and his life can definitely be described as "extremely extravagant".
A movie like this is destined to miss out on the Academy Awards.
Because the concept promoted by the Academy Awards is always positive, the films favored by the Oscars need to make viewers "want to become better people."
This is zz correct.
Only those who meet these requirements are eligible to win the award.
The Wolf of Wall Street is exactly the opposite, and it directly throws the ugliness of human nature in the faces of the audience.
This is not zz correct for the Academy Awards.
It is impossible to be nominated but not to win an award.
But this is normal.
Today, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is released at the time when the global financial crisis breaks out.
People in the United States and even around the world who have been affected by the financial crisis need to vent their inner emotions.
The emergence of "The Wolf of Wall Street" gave him a cathartic direction.
A work that responds to the situation, if the impact is large enough, it is possible to win the award even if it does not meet the consistent zz correctness of the Academy Awards.
"Shu, I heard that the zombie movie you made in China achieved very good box office results?" Matt Damon walked to Wang Shu with a wine glass and gestured.
He knew what Wang Shu was doing when he returned to China, and he was also concerned about it.
It is true that the box office of "Taipei Trip" in China is less than that of many Hollywood movies.
However, the two markets are different and cannot be generalized.
Matt Damon knows that although the box office performance of "Travel to Taipei" is nothing compared to Hollywood movies, it is one of the highest box office movies in China.
This is enough to show how powerful Wang Shu is.
He had no idea that there was a market for zombie movies in China, and it was a pretty good market.
Matt Damon has already predicted that there will definitely be many Hollywood zombie movies that want to enter the Chinese market from now on.
It’s just that mainland China’s system for introducing foreign-language films limits the entry of Hollywood films.
From a Hollywood perspective, it is natural to hope that all Hollywood movies can enter the Chinese mainland market.
It’s just that it’s different from the perspective of internal entertainment.
If Hollywood movies are allowed to enter the mainland market, the diversification of Hollywood movies will inevitably defeat domestic entertainment.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot allow Hollywood movies to enter the mainland market at will.
But if Hollywood is completely prevented from entering the mainland market, the degree of expansion of domestic entertainment will not be able to stimulate market growth. And without the entry of catfish like foreign language films, mainland Chinese films will only continue to expand in a comfortable environment.
Only introducing and restricting is the best choice.
"It's okay." Wang Shu responded politely.
Matt Damon smiled and then asked: "How much do you think the box office of our "The Wolf of Wall Street" will be?"
Wang Shu did not answer this question directly. , but smiled and said: "The level of box office depends on the intensity of publicity."
"If the publicity is in place, I believe that many people will be interested in this movie."
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is a film that responds to the financial crisis. As long as the publicity is in place, even if you just watch it, you can watch it. It can attract many people into the cinema.
Because we are in the midst of a financial crisis!
"I think so too." Matt Damon laughed.
Publicity requires money. Although Wang Shu made a movie with a global box office of US$500 million, it was a remake directed by Wang Shu.
Today's "The Wolf of Wall Street" is not only an award-winning film, but also directed by Wang Shu, a Chinese film director.
Therefore, although investors invest money, they do not dare to get too ahead of themselves, lest they lose all their money.
The publicity for "The Wolf of Wall Street" is there, but not very intense.
Wang Shu doesn’t care about this.
Because the movie’s box office has nothing to do with him, he has no right to share it.
"Compared with the box office of the movie, I am more concerned about the next Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards." Wang Shu said with a smile.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is a film that responds to the financial crisis and is Wang Shu's most likely chance to win an Academy Award before he is 35 years old.
If I fail to win an award this time, I will probably have to stay in Hollywood for ten years before I have a chance to win an award.
As one of the four major film awards in the world, the Academy Award is not like the domestic Golden Rooster, Huabiao and other awards. As long as the connections are in place, no matter how young you are and how good your business ability is, you can win the award.
For the Academy Award, on the premise that the business ability is up to standard, you still have to go through qualifications.
Especially men, it is even more difficult.
Wang Shu is only in his early 20s now, so as long as he fails to win the award this time, he will have to endure.
And if he wins the award this time and makes a start, then there is a high possibility that he will continue to win awards even if he is young.
Otherwise, stay put!
"Haha, to tell you the truth, I am also most concerned about this." Matt Damon laughed.
He is already a popular star in Hollywood and is worth a lot of money.
This time I was planning to film "The Wolf of Wall Street" with the goal of winning awards.
For him, there are many opportunities to make money, but the opportunity to win prizes is rare.
This is the voice of every popular Hollywood actor.
After saying that, he patted Wang Shu on the shoulder again, pretending to be gloating and joking: "Compared to you, I think I have a better chance of winning the prize."
"After all, I have been in Hollywood for many years."
"And you are just here for the first time"
"The Academy usually does not award awards to 'newcomers'." Upon hearing this, Wang Shu chuckled and said: "The Wolf of Wall Street was a movie that happened to be released during the outbreak of the financial crisis."
"Whether it's the Golden Globe Award or the Academy Award , also happens to belong to this time period.”
"You've seen the movie, it's not bad."
"So, if I get nothing this time, it will definitely be an unavoidable event in the history of the Academy Awards."
< br>"If the Academy doesn't consider this and doesn't care about the reputation of the Academy Awards, then it really doesn't have to give me the award."
When Matt Damon heard this, he immediately gave Wang Shu a Thumbs up.
He knew in his heart that "The Wolf of Wall Street" was directed by Wang Shu and was indeed an excellent movie.
With this film entering the Oscar race, it is bound to put the Academy on hold.
Under normal circumstances, whether it is the content of "The Wolf of Wall Street" or other factors, it is impossible for Wang Shu to win the award.
But this is normal.
We are currently in the midst of a financial crisis, which is an abnormal situation.
Matt Damon knows that if "The Wolf of Wall Street" can be nominated, then it is not normal for the Academy to award an award, and it is unjustifiable not to award it.
Embarrassed.
After the dinner, Wang Shu returned to the apartment, and Sister Shitou came back with him.
Sister Shitou has a boyfriend. From the perspective of public order and good morals, Sister Shitou should not come to the apartment where Wang Shu lives late at night.
It’s just that this is America.
It is very common for both men and women to have sex with other people during a relationship.
It is said that art comes from life. The chaotic relationship between men and women in many American film and television works comes from life.
For example, when a man and a woman fall in love, it is very common for the woman to secretly have sex with the man's friend, or the man to secretly have sex with the woman's best friend.
Therefore, Sister Shitou followed Wang Shu into his apartment late at night without any psychological pressure of being unfaithful to her boyfriend.
Anyway, as long as you don’t let the other party know.
Also, even if the other party knows, it won’t be a big problem.
The worst case scenario is that they will break up in one fell swoop.
The two drank wine at the dinner and hugged each other as soon as they returned to the apartment.
Then
Sister Shitou is pink.
Even in my 30s, I still have some fans.
But if it is Sister Shitou who is in her 30s, then Wang Shu will definitely be a gentleman who can sit back and relax.
Sister Shitou in her teens and 20s is completely different from the one in her 30s.
Sister Shitou, who is in her teens or 20s, has a babyish face and is indeed very beautiful.
But when I was about thirty years old, the flesh on my face was gone.
Sister Shitou, who does not have baby fat, has a plummeting appearance.
Of course, this is a common problem among European and American actresses.
But there are some exceptions.
For example, actresses such as Sophie Marceau, Nicole Kidman, and Monica Bellucci take better care of themselves.
Of course, the most important thing is the effect of technology.
Even though actors such as Sophie Marceau, Nicole Kidman, and Monica Bellucci are all in their 40s, they are all very tough in terms of appearance and figure.
Of course, after all, age is there, and it is impossible to be as energetic as a young girl.
However, the counterpart is the charm of maturity.
Take another example: Nicole Kidman, she is very good at making men obsessed with her expressions and gestures.
