Chapter 449: Not as good as Chief Jia
"Shu, did Gil Nate invite you to direct "Life of Pi"?" Monica walked to Wang Shu and asked in a low voice.
Although Matt Damon had already said it before, she couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes." The meeting with Gil Nate just now was not in private. Many people were watching, so there was no need for Wang Shu to hide it.
Facing Monica's hopeful gaze, Wang Shu asked: "Have you read this novel?"
"No." Monica shook her head. Although she had heard about Gil Nate's "Life of Pi", she had not read the novel.
Wang Shu said softly: "I happened to read a little bit of this novel before, and it has an Indian as the protagonist."
Needless to say this, a senior actor like Monica understood it instantly Meaning, his eyes suddenly turned from the initial hope to dim.
“Where are the supporting characters?” Monica was a little reluctant and looked at Wang Shu expectantly.
Wang Shu heard this and said with a smile: "I don't know that clearly."
After saying that, he added, "But if there is a suitable supporting role by then, I will notify you to audition."
Wang Shu accepted directly without even mentioning it to Monica.
In fact, he knew that there was no suitable role for Monica in "Life of Pi".
In this case, why not accept it directly and sell Monica a favor?
As expected, when Monica heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she gave Wang Shu a grateful smile: "Thank you."
After Monica said this, she immediately closed her mouth when she saw someone else coming.
Wang Shu attended the dinner after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony here. On the other side, the American media reported that he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and "The Wolf of Wall Street" won the Best Picture. Prize thing.
As soon as the incident was reported, it immediately aroused heated discussion among European and American netizens.
"What? A 22-year-old Chinese director won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and the movie he made also won the Best Picture Award? Who can tell me what is going on?" Some people were incredulous.
"Is there no one in Hollywood? A 22-year-old from China defeated a bunch of well-known Hollywood directors and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Screenplay? Is this funny? ?" someone mocked.
"Wow! Hollywood's darkest moment! A 22-year-old Chinese director who just arrived in Hollywood won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Screenplay. Can you believe it?" British netizens joked.
British netizens are all aware of the fact that British actors are boycotted in Hollywood and are restricted from winning awards.
At this moment, I didn’t miss the opportunity to tease.
Although Kate, who has a close friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio, is a British actress, this year's Golden Globe Awards even won the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress awards.
However, even if Kate wins the award, it cannot deny that Hollywood boycotts British actors and restricts British actors from winning awards.
Except for a few actors whose professional skills are online, most of the local American actors are actually traffic actors with no acting skills.
Therefore, the Actor Award is often taken away by British actors who come to Hollywood.
As soon as the local American forces in Hollywood saw that it was not working, they restricted British actors.
During the awards season in the United States, many acting awards should actually be awarded to more capable British actors, but the acting awards were awarded to American actors.
Although some American actors have won awards, they are actually just parallel imports.
"Holy shit, this is a movie made by Wang Shu? How long have you been in the United States? How can you understand the madness of the people at the bottom under the American dream? The last scene is meaningful. This is what Edward Yang said in "The Age of Independence" 'Everyone is waiting for you to lie to him'! The various connection and counterpoint skills are so superb that there is nothing to say. Wang Shu Niubi! "Chinese netizen in the United States.
“The satire of the American money dream should have been obscure and unflattering, but Wang Shu used a lunatic tone that deviated from the theme to tell the story, duplicity until the end of the carnival, and did not tarnish the still-dead Belfort. He has never strayed from the original intention of making this film, coupled with the palace-level editing, the spiritual core and the viewing experience are perfectly blended. The Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Picture should go to him, especially now. Crisis, he deserves it.” Another Chinese netizen in the United States.
“Although the person who made this movie is a 22-year-old young director from China, I want to say that the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Picture must go to him. Whoever comes to me will do the same to him. Said. "American netizen.
"Let me tell you, this movie not only won the Golden Globe Award, but also the Academy Award. If the Academy Award is not awarded to him, the organizer is a piece of shit." United States netizen.
At this moment, there is not only a lot of discussion on the Internet, but also in the Hollywood film industry.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" has always been a topic because it was made in response to the financial crisis.
Now that this movie has won an award, many people were stunned for a moment after hearing the news, but they were not too surprised.
The special nature of "The Wolf of Wall Street" in this period makes it eligible to win awards.
Before, many people didn’t think they could win the award, but they just didn’t think Wang Shu could win the award.
Now Wang Shu has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. Although it has refreshed history, it is not unthinkable.
After all, this "The Wolf of Wall Street" is really suitable for the occasion.
However, although I am not too surprised, I am still amazed.
22 years old, he is still a director from China. When he first arrived in Hollywood, he made a movie with a global box office of US$500 million and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.
I heard that before coming to Hollywood, he had already won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival.
That’s awesome!
Soon, the Hollywood film industry received another news.
That is. Gil Nate invited Wang Shu, and Wang Shu will direct "Life of Pi".
Many people in the Hollywood film industry know that the script for "Life of Pi" was approached by many well-known directors, but they all declined.
Now that Wang Shu was going to direct, I was suddenly shocked.
Although Wang Shu is the newly nominated Golden Globe Award for Best Director, "Life of Pi" is a script that many well-known directors dare not take on.
Gil Nate would actually invite Wang Shu to direct such a difficult thing?
And Wang Shu actually dared to accept this matter?
The former has a lump on his head?
Where did the latter get the courage?
This is no small matter, and it instantly sparked heated discussions in Hollywood.
After the dinner, Wang Shu returned to the apartment, and Sister Shitou was with him.
Christine looked at Wang Shu longingly from time to time during the dinner. She obviously had something to say, but she never had the right opportunity.
After the dinner, she needed to go home and could not follow Wang Shu to his apartment.
Kristen is different from Sister Shitou. Sister Shitou came to Hollywood to make a living in her teens and lives by herself.
Christine lives with her mother and has not yet moved out to live on her own.
So she needs to go home at night without a good reason.
“We can only wait until next time.” Christine, who went home alone, felt a little depressed.
She is now a popular Twilight Girl. She is popular, but she does not have any major awards.
In addition, she has been working in the field of art films, but there has been no improvement.
Therefore, she really wanted Wang Shu to push her and win a grand prize.
She is now a popular star. She does not lack popularity and popularity, but what she lacks is awards.
Having acted in many art films but still not getting any results, she now understood that it was useless no matter how many messy art films she acted in. On the contrary, if you can cooperate with a powerful director, you will have a greater chance of winning awards.
She feels that it is difficult to get in touch with other great directors.
Wang Shu is the hope before us.
domestic.
Tencent, Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Baidu and other media websites also reported on the news that Wang Shu won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and that "The Wolf of Wall Street" won the Best Picture Award. .
Sina: "Wang Shu, 22-year-old Golden Globe Award for Best Director, "The Wolf of Wall Street" Best Picture."
Tencent: "Historic moment, 22-year-old Golden Globe Award for Director , Wang Shu. "
Sohu: "Refreshing history, Wang Shu won the American TV and Movie Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" won the Best Picture Award. "
NetEase: "Wang Shu, the first mainland director to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director in an American TV movie."
There is a 13-hour difference between the Eastern Time in the United States and the Eastern Time in China. Night in the United States is daytime in China.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held in the evening, so Wang Shu won the award at night in the United States, but during the day in China.
At this moment, the major forums are in a state of excitement with heated discussions.
The first mainland director to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director in Hollywood, and the film he directed also won the Best Picture Award.
Moreover, the director is only 22 years old.
"Hei Shu is talking? Are you talking? Didn't you say firmly and repeatedly that Wang Shu could not win the Golden Globe Award? Didn't you say that Wang Shu would win the Golden Globe Award if he could win it? You guys came out. Are you farting?”
A hot post appeared on Tianya. The poster is not a fan of Wang Shu, nor is he speaking for Wang Shu, but Gonghuo.
“Haha, a lot of people said some time ago that Wang Shu would win the Golden Globe Award if he could win it. Today, we are just waiting for the big guys to win the Golden Globe Award!” Award-winning director, we will never talk about 18-year-old young directors again, this guy is really capable.”
"Oh, I still miss the time when I used to call an 18-year-old director. Now it's hard to call me an 18-year-old young director." . ”
“I don’t accept the rebuttal. Wang Shu is the number one director in the Mainland. Where did you put Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Chief Jia and others?”
“Upstairs? Yes, you said Zhang Yimou, why don’t I refute you, who are Chen Kaige and Section Chief Jia?”
“Chen Kaige understands everything about a steamed bun murder case.”
"And that Chief Jia, are you really good at bragging?"
"I tell you, Chief Jia is trash."
"Just him, even Lou Ye and others Not as good as that.”
Although Chief Jia won a Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, he is actually a “film businessman.”
And this so-called "movie businessman" makes money by filming the dark side of China to cater to foreign countries.
He makes this type of film not for the sake of art or to make people reflect, but because there is a market for such films at film festivals, so he makes them in various ways.
In addition, Hong Kong's famous director of bad movies, Wang Jin, openly looked down on Chief Jia in an interview, saying bluntly that Chief Jia's filming skills as a director are not good.
In Wang Jin’s eyes, Zhang Yimou is a capable director.
Chief Jia is just a fart.
"Chief Jia is rubbish? Labor and management laughed. Do you understand the Venice Golden Lion Award? An 18-year-old young director only won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival, but Chief Jia has a Golden Lion Award. A certain 18-year-old young director is not worthy of carrying Chief Jia’s shoes.”
"Are you trying to say that a certain 18-year-old director now has the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture? What a joke! If it were the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Picture, it would be better than a Venice film. "But the Golden Globe Awards do not have this qualification." In terms of international influence, the Golden Globe Awards are not as good as the three major ones in Europe, especially in this era.
Speaking of the Academy Awards, many people know it.
Speaking of the American TV and movie Golden Globe Awards, except in Europe and the United States, they are not well-known.
However, this does not mean that this award does not have gold content, it just means that it does not have as much gold content as the Academy Award.
In addition, it is only a domestic award in the United States, which is somewhat inferior to the three European awards.
In comparison, the Oscars can beat Berlin and Venice, and are on par with Cannes.
Of course, it’s just this era.
In the future, as the three major European awards become more and more divergent, the most influential one will be the Academy Awards, the American award.
However, the Academy Award is only the most influential, and it can be discussed in terms of artistry.
The Academy Awards are only American awards and can only be competed by films produced in the United States.
Europe's top three movies from all over the world are participating in the competition.
Although the United States is the world leader, it would be nonsense to say that the artistry of American films is higher than that of films from around the world.
Furthermore, the Oscars are American awards that focus on politics and business, while the three major European film festivals are film festivals targeting the world with art as the highest indicator.
There is a difference between the two.
In an era when commercial films are becoming more and more mainstream, it is natural that the Oscars will be higher than the top three in Europe.
For example, Zhang Yimou, he used to look down on commercial films at all.
Art films are the mainstream in the world, and the three European natural films with art as the highest indicator are the most popular.
But times have changed.
Directors like Zhang Yimou, who look down on commercial films, have been coerced by the general trend to make commercial films, not to mention that the Oscars are above the top three in Europe.
However, it is now 2009, and the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival cannot stop on their way downhill. The Cannes Film Festival is still quite talkative at this stage.
If the Cannes International Film Festival had not said anything, Chen Kaige would not have been able to drag him down all the time.
Chen Kaige is really a "talent".
This girl also puts on airs at home, looking like a gentleman from the old days.
When a child comes to the table to eat, he needs to speak before he can move his chopsticks.
You must hold whatever you want your children to hold, and you must not disobey.
