Chapter 468 Nominated for an Oscar
“Haha.” Deng Chao smiled, and then asked, “How did you help me get this role from Director Wang?”
Sun Li felt something strange in her heart when she heard this, and hummed: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"The truth." Deng Chao said subconsciously.
"Humph." Sun Li chuckled twice, "The truth is, these two Huayi supporting actors are not important roles."
Deng Chao understood the meaning of this. The role was not important and the competition was not great. For Wang Shu, it didn't matter who he chose to play the role. This was his turn.
I couldn't help but pretend to sigh, "This truth is really uncomfortable."
After speaking, he asked curiously, "Did Director Wang say when he would return to China to make a movie? ?”
Sun Li knew that Deng Chao asked this question because he was thinking about participating in a movie directed by Wang Shu.
She didn’t find anything strange about this.
With Wang Shu's current status as a Hollywood director, when looking at domestic entertainment, there is no one he doesn't want to cooperate with.
Everyone knows that having a good relationship with Wang Shu has this connection.
If Wang Shu directs a Hollywood movie with Chinese characters, he will have the opportunity to become the second Zhang Ziyi to go abroad.
"I didn't say it." Sun Li responded.
Since she is in the entertainment industry, why doesn’t she want to be the next Zhang Ziyi?
However, there are no corresponding resources and opportunities.
With her current fame and Hai Run’s energy, there is indeed no shortage of TV drama resources.
It’s just that there are always more film resources than meat. Even if she is famous, few can fall on her.
Hollywood gameplay is completely different from domestic entertainment gameplay.
In Hollywood, as long as an artist becomes famous, the producer can even beg his father and grandma to present him with a contract and invite him to star in it.
And if you are not famous, or you are on the street, you don't recognize people in an instant, and you don't know them at all.
Everything is determined by the commercial value presented by the artist in real time.
This point was vividly described by the well-known artist Jet Li when he appeared on the show.
In domestic entertainment, the commercial value of the artist does not determine everything.
Although some big-name artists are suitable for commercial value to bring resources, in most cases it is human relationships, personal connections, etc.
Just like some high-quality movie scripts, when they are decided to be filmed, they will usually be circulated to big-name actors with connections and status in the industry. After these people express no interest in starring, the project will be circulated for casting.
In other words, some artists are obviously disliked by the public, have no box office appeal, and are extremely bad artists, but their resources are still endless and they can always jump in front of people.
These are all manifestations of human relationships and connections.
In Hollywood, this kind of artist has long been swept into the sewer. How can there be so many high-quality resources?
It can also be seen from this point that the resources of internal entertainment are in the hands of a few people, and at the same time they will not be influenced by the general public.
Even if it is a piece of shit, if those who control the resources want to feed it to the general public, the general public will have to eat it.
Unless it is sanctioned by divine punishment, the opinions of the general public are nothing.
Although the resources of Hollywood are also controlled by a few people, Hollywood companies are based on a board of directors model, and even the chairman cannot speak out.
Everything is determined by the commercial value of the artist, not personal wishes.
Therefore, when it comes to domestic entertainment and Hollywood's gameplay, for the public, Hollywood's gameplay is naturally superior.
Because if there is a piece of shit in Hollywood that has no market value, then it will probably be swept away.
And internal entertainment.
If there is a piece of shit that has no market value, this piece of shit can always exist and disgust the public repeatedly.
For example, Na Yin
Another example.
Sun Li then said: "Liu Yan and I asked Director Wang, and Director Wang said it depends on the situation."
Deng Chao smacked his lips when he heard this and said, "It depends on whether Director Han will give it to me." Awesome."
"Huh?" Sun Li was confused when she heard this.
Deng Chao said with a smile: "If Director Han offers enough conditions to invite Director Wang to make a big-budget movie, maybe Director Wang will return to China to film."
"With Director Han's Zaopai obviously wants to make a big-budget movie.”
"So, as long as Director Han works hard, there is a high probability that Director Wang will return to China to film while working in Hollywood."
At the same time, guests at Wang Shu's villa were visiting to pay New Year's greetings.
The visitor was none other than Zhang Hanyu.
As for Yang Wei, who played a small role with Wang Shu back then, he went back to his hometown and couldn't come even if he wanted to.
Zhang Hanyu came through the door, followed by Zhou Xun and Chen Kun.
Chen Kun came with Zhou Xun.
Although there are guests at home, Wang Shu doesn’t want to bother his parents with cooking and entertaining anymore. Instead, he decides to book a table at the restaurant.
But obviously these people not only came to Wang Shu's home to pay New Year's greetings, but also went to other people's homes, where they just drank some tea and left one after another.
On the third and fourth day of the Lunar New Year, more and more people come to pay New Year greetings.
Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Yan Danchen, Dong Xuan, Ning Jing, Yang Mi, Shu Chang, Jiang Xin, Zhao Yanzi, Fu Dalong and others all came.
In the past, New Year greetings were always sent through mobile phones.
This year, I learned that Wang Shu was celebrating the New Year in Beijing and that he was going to direct the Oscar-winning "Life of Pi". A lot of people came to visit me.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Shu went out early and locked the door to play with his parents in the capital, regardless of whether anyone would come again.
When Yang Mi got the news, she volunteered to be a "tour guide".
Wang Shu thought that it would be much more convenient to have a local like Yang Mi here, so he did not refuse.
As for Sun Li and Liu Yan, maybe they didn't get together due to some reasons.
Wang Shu was happy to see this.
After all, if Sun Li and Liu Yan also come, then these three people will inevitably stare at each other.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Wang Shu still took his parents to play in the capital.
By this time, news had spread in the entertainment industry that there were no Chinese female characters in "Life of Pi" and there were only two Chinese supporting male characters with very few roles.
The enthusiasm for visiting Wang Shu subsided a lot.
Wang Shu was not surprised by this. He knew in his heart that so many people wanted to see him because of "Life of Pi".
Because this is a Hollywood movie produced by Fox, if you can play an outstanding supporting role in it, then it is really possible to go international like Zhang Ziyi. While Wang Shu was visiting the capital with his parents, the nominations for the Academy Awards were announced.
"The Tuner" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" are impressively listed.
In the original timeline, the nominations for the 2009 Academy Awards were announced in mid-January. Perhaps due to the addition of "The Tuner" and "The Wolf of Wall Street", the announcement time has changed.
When the news spread back to China, there was another discussion inside and outside the circle.
Wang Shu’s mobile phone also received many calls and text messages from Daoxi.
Although nominations cannot be said to be 100% guaranteed to win the award, the Golden Globe Award is the weathervane of the Oscars.
As long as you can win the Golden Globe Award, you have a high probability of winning the Oscar.
Although under normal circumstances, as a Chinese director, Wang Shu would not be able to win an Oscar at such a young age.
There are lessons from the Golden Globe Awards.
Who can say for sure?
At this moment, there is already a lot of discussion on the Internet.
For example, in the Tianya Forum, there has been related popularity.
Title: "As expected, Wang Shu's two films were successfully nominated for the Academy Awards."
Content: "As we all know, the Golden Globe Awards are the weathervane of the Academy Awards."
< br>“Any film that can win the Golden Globe Award has a high probability of being successfully nominated for an Oscar, and there is also a high probability of winning an Oscar.”
“Director Wang "The Wolf of Wall Street" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Picture, and as expected, it was nominated for an Oscar."
"As for "The Wolf of Wall Street". It’s a movie. I’m sure someone has seen the movie by now and knows what it’s about.”
"All I can say is that this is a movie that combines success studies, thick black studies, family love and friendship. It almost perfectly reproduces the novel of the same name, and inadvertently leaves many thought-provoking details."
“After watching the movie, you will find that the protagonist Jordan is undoubtedly a capable person.”
“He went from a fired stockbroker to a multi-millionaire step by step on his own. The 'Wolf of Wall Street' that countless people yearn for. ”
“But even if he has a smart mind, excellent eloquence, a keen sense of the market, a precise eye for people, and the courage to take risks, he still inevitably falls in the end. into the whirlpool of desire.”
“He uses money to establish the values of his employees that money is everything, and then stimulates their desire to make money for the company. When he gave an impassioned speech to the employees on the stage, he also did the same. Tell yourself.”
"He takes drugs just to have a moment of happiness and to be free from the shackles of money."
"In this way, he makes more and more money. On the one hand, he adopts various means to hide his black income; on the other hand, he takes drugs. I want to use drugs to forget all the bad ways to make money and hide money, and indulge in the world of illusion."
"Of course, this is a vicious cycle, and at a certain point, all the effects explode. He realized it was too late, his family was broken up, and he was in jail."
"What I find interesting about this movie are the last two clips."
"The FBI detective took the subway home after the Jordan case was completed. He looked around at the dirty and tired people on the subway. His expression was complicated. At that moment, did he remember that Jordan once said to him, 'I paid for a random meal. It’s enough to keep you busy for a whole year’
"Yes, there are times when you have a firm belief like a federal police detective and you have a desire for money, not to mention Wall Street, which is obsessed with money!"
"There is also a clip. In the end, Jordan was released from prison and became a salesperson with his outstanding eloquence. Trainer, when he held a pen and asked the people below how to sell pens like he did more than ten years ago, he no longer had the wonderful answers like those old friends. I wonder what Jordan felt at that moment? "< br>
“When he decided to turn out his friend to get a reduced sentence, he completely failed on the road of friendship.”
“It’s just that time passed, and in this speech about selling pens, , there are still so many eyes eager for money and fame, 'greed' seems to be an addiction that people can never quit, which makes people sigh. "
"I say this because I want to tell you, "Wall Street". "Wolf" is not just a profound biopic."
"Since it is a biography, it means that most of everything in the movie is real."
"The real Wall Street biopic happened to be released during the global economic crisis triggered by the U.S. economic crisis."
“Although it is a coincidence, I have to admit that it really fits the situation.”
“It was only after watching the movie that I realized that with Wang Shu’s status and age as a Chinese director, it is impossible for him to enter Hollywood for the first time. Just won the Golden Globe Award, but it happened to win the Golden Globe Award."
"It can only be said that the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" will compete for the 2008 Golden Globe Award, or participate in it. Competition for the 2010 Golden Globe Awards ”
"It's impossible for Wang Shu to win the award."
"Only in 2009, "The Wolf of Wall Street" was too suitable for the occasion."
"Once this movie came out, I can't think of any other movies. Which movie is better?"
"So, the Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Picture were both won by "The Wolf of Wall Street". So, I have a hunch.”
"This year's Academy Awards, "The Wolf of Wall Street" may also be the biggest winner!"
1L: "After watching "The Wolf of Wall Street", I also think Director Wang can win the award, mainly because This movie is so perfect for the occasion. It would be unreasonable not to give the award to Director Wang.”
2L: “I also think Director Wang can win the award. I can only say that for the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Director Wang’s strength and luck coexist, and he released such a film just in time for the global financial crisis, which was caused by the United States.” It doesn’t make sense.”
3L: “Holy shit, “The Wolf of Wall Street” is really as amazing as you said, better than “The Tuner”?”
4L: "Upstairs, "The Tuner" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" are two types of movies."
"If you say which movie is more classic, I personally think "The Tuner" is far more classic. Win."
"And if you want to say which one is more likely to win the award this year, it is "The Wolf of Wall Street"."
"Focus on this year."
5L："."
"The Wolf of Wall Street is nominated for an Academy Award."
At the home of Chen Hong and Chen Kaige, Chen Hong glanced at Chen Kaige and said softly.
“Huh, you are an opportunist.” Chen Kaige heard this with contempt.
At this time, he has watched "The Wolf of Wall Street" through various channels to understand the content of the movie.
“I said before how could a wild guy win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director so easily. It wasn’t until I watched “The Wolf of Wall Street” that I understood what was going on.”
"Let me tell you this, this movie won the award entirely by relying on opportunism."
"This kind of movie would not have won the award if it had been released in 2007 or next year."
“It just so happened that it was released during this year’s Golden Globe Awards, and that’s why he won the award.”
“However, even if he won the award, it doesn’t mean he has the ability. He knows how to be opportunistic.”
