Chapter 558: The male protagonist of the new film is very handsome
Zhang Yimou also wants to make progress.
There is no such thing as Zhang Dapao's failure.
His creative desire was unprecedentedly strong.
Not only do I want to make a name for myself in the field of artistic films, but I also want to make a difference in the field of commercial films.
Before making a movie, Zhang Yimou will go through it countless times in his head.
How to shoot, where are the plot highlights, and preset specific shooting effects.
When he first received Zhou Yutang's book, his eyes lit up.
From a professional perspective, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is quite skillfully done. While it has a certain degree of artistry, it also has a hearty feel.
It is also commonly known as "cool".
As long as it can make the audience enjoy watching it, the reputation will rise, and more and more audiences will come to the cinema to watch it.
However, if you want to maximize the commercial value of a movie, casting is crucial.
The highlight of this drama lies in the actor Chen Guilin.
Behead the dragon, kill the tiger, and finally get rid of yourself.
If you want to take on this role, you must have both fame and acting skills.
The first person that came to Zhang Yimou's mind was Zhou Yutang.
Seeing that Zhou Yutang relaxed at this time, he immediately called the iron hot: "Then it's settled, Ni Ni, you can prove it."
"Yes."< br>
Ni Ni pursed her lips and smiled: "He agreed."
In her impression, Lao Mouzi had always had a deep temperament due to his reputation as a national teacher.
Unexpectedly, in order to invite Zhou Yutang, he would rarely show such a childish side.
Ni Ni noted this down in advance and prepared to coordinate the itinerary later.
In the evening, there were many celebrities and celebrities at this pre-Oscar party.
There is also Zhou Yutang’s old friend.
Looking at Blake Lively’s bright smile after having sex with Zhou Yutang, Ni Ni secretly cursed in her heart.
She seriously suspected that this married woman was having an affair with her boss, but there was no proof.
I only know that the two met during the first part of "The Purge". After that, every time Zhou Yutang came to Hollywood for business, they had several dinner dates, and there were rumors of a scandal.
Beside this popular Hollywood actress, as always, she followed her bestie Swift, and proactively said: "Zhou, congratulations on the nomination for the movie you invested in, and I wish you win the award."
" Thank you, two beautiful ladies.”
“She had a performance at the Oscars.”
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."
After you sang, we came on the stage. Blake Lively and Swift just left, and Olson took advantage of the opportunity and came over with a glass of champagne.
I knew Zhou Yutang was a popular person, but I didn’t expect him to be so popular.
Looking at the wolf-like eyes of those women, I really wanted to swallow Zhou Yutang alive.
“NINI, your boss seems to be very popular.”
Bob, who had a slutty vibe about his whole person, was no stranger to the beautiful secretary next to Zhou Yutang, so he came over to say hello.
"Yes, those women are too enthusiastic." Ni Ni smiled helplessly and responded fluently.
“This is Hollywood, but Zhou’s determination is very strong and he can control himself.”
Bob laughed: “I’ll take a friend to meet him.”< br>
Glancing by the way, Ni Ni saw the man in a straight suit and slicked back hair next to Bob.
Oh, hey, Hollywood's famous little plum.
Seeing this legendary handsome guy in person, Ni Ni always felt that it was a little different from his impression.
In my memory, Li Zizi from the time of Titanic was so handsome that he had no friends.
Now, the face has a tendency to develop horizontally, the hairline has moved up, and coupled with the thick beard, the whole person's figure has become much thicker.
Compared with his own boss, he seems a little less interesting.
Next to Xiao Lizi was a tall girl with a busty figure who looked like a model.
This time he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for "The Wolf of Wall Street", right opposite Matthew McConaughey.
But he had no awareness of being an opponent. He stepped forward to shake hands with Zhou Yutang cordially: "Congratulations, Zhou. I heard that your movie was a hit in Asia, but it's a pity that it was not released in North America."
“Are you still paying attention to this?”
“Of course, you are the director of Oriental Miracle, and it has been reported in Hollywood.”
Xiao Lizi smiled exaggeratedly, and the female model next to him suddenly looked at Zhou Yutang with a different look.
She thought about some of the rumors circulating in Hollywood about this mysterious Eastern director, an entertainment industry tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions.
Actually, Zhou Yutang has never been very interested in entering Hollywood, and "The Secret of the Dragon" was not released in North America.
But this does not prevent DiCaprio from complimenting this prestigious Eastern gold medal producer. His operation of leaking "Dallas Buyers Club" last year has been rated as a masterstroke by the US media.
An investment of five million US dollars has resulted in 6 Oscar nominations. What else do you need for a bicycle?
In the past few days, Zhou Yutang was busy with the first few movies, and took a photo with Wen Ziren by the way.
He is still busy with the "Fast and Furious 7" project. Since Paul Walker passed away in a car accident last year, the filming work was temporarily suspended, and investors Universal and James Wan were very worried.
Because a lot of scenes had been shot previously, it was finally decided to retain the role of Paul Walker.
The remaining scenes of Paul Walker were shot using stunt doubles and computer stunts.
Brother Long also has a cameo appearance, but the role is not that large and has been completed a few days ago.
After waiting for "Fast and Furious 7" to end, James Wan immediately started preparing to start "The Conjuring 2".
Time flies so fast, March 2nd arrives in the blink of an eye.
The red carpet has been laid out at the entrance of the Dolby Theater, and various media have sent people to guard it. Reporters carrying long guns and cannons can be seen everywhere.
The red carpet symbolizes empty glitz and vanity.
Zhou Yutang walked down the Avenue of Stars with the crew of "The Hunt" wearing only a tailor-made and simple Giorgio Armani suit.
God was not kind to us. It rained lightly in California. Although there was a rainproof shelter, it was so humid that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Female stars are very hardworking.
Queen Charlize Theron’s Dior fishtail dress successfully saluted the entire audience.
This temperament is really amazing.
In addition, Scarlett walked down the red carpet in high heels with a 5-month-old belly.
Cate Blanchett's sequined Armani dress, Anne Hathaway's backless elegant dress.
Sandra Bullock’s off-the-shoulder dark blue single-sided pleated dress, and even Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior bright red evening gown, Angelina Jolie’s gradient beaded es haute couture evening gown Dress, Nicole Kidman still has charm
Female stars from all walks of life compete for beauty.
For most viewers, it’s just fun to watch.
After entering the venue, Zhou Yutang's position was not far away from that of "Dallas Buyers Club". He went over to say hello to the creator: "I have a hunch that you guys will win the award tonight."
"I hope it's as you said."
Matthew and Jared loosened their shirt collars and took deep breaths.
They have paid so much for this movie, and now that they have the opportunity to touch that supreme honor, they can’t help but feel a little excited.
The Oscar awards began, and Zhou Yutang sat next to Lao Mouzi. The prediction of this fat guy Harvey was indeed accurate.
Tonight, Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron’s “Gravity” became the biggest winner.
Having previously received 10 nominations, tonight started with a flurry of wins in technical categories such as Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.
It is really eye-catching to swallow thousands of miles with such anger.
"Frozen", which is still being screened in China, was nominated for two Oscars this year and won the Best Animated Feature Film award without any suspense.
The entire awards ceremony starts on the red carpet at 6pm, and lasts for several hours, with up to 24 awards to be awarded. The length of the ceremony is strictly limited by the television station, so the performance of the host is very important to ensure fun. . Tonight's host is Alan.
This Allen is not Dashachun.
Winning the Emmy Award for Best Talk Show Host for four consecutive years, he is really fast-talking.
He is also very good at things. During the live broadcast of the ceremony, he took some celebrities in the front row and took a selfie on the spot, and then posted it directly on social media.
The host was talking about interludes to create atmosphere. Zhang Yimou and Zhou Yutang were chatting about the script, but the conversation was suddenly interrupted.
After some previous technical awards, Jared Leto got off to a good start by winning the Best Supporting Actor award for his inscrutable performance in "Dallas Buyers Club".
"Having won the Best Supporting Actor, won't she also have a chance to win Best Actor?"
Zhang Ziyi clapped her hands, muttering to herself, and glanced in the direction of Zhou Yutang.
In this kind of award ceremony, the important events such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, etc. are always put at the back.
During the period, Broadway star Bette Midler appeared on stage to sing, which was not as eye-catching as the unfortunate pair of long legs.
Finally it’s time for the main event. Cate Blanchett, the queen of elves, was crowned Best Actress without any surprises.
Zhou Yutang applauded gently, her performance in "Blue Jasmine" was well deserved.
Matthew McConaughey’s spirit on the other side was also faintly lifted.
Cate Blanchett almost swept the Oscar battle, and his performance was also strong.
The wonderful performance clips of several nominees have appeared on the big screen at the scene.
Immediately afterwards, the award presenter did not show off and announced the best actor of this year: ""Dallas Buyers Club", Matthew McConaughey, congratulations."
Zhou Yutang saw it clearly.
Matthew jumped up from his seat as if he were sitting on a spring, and hugged the people around him excitedly.
On the other side, Xiao Lizi, who was leaning forward slightly like a bow string, suddenly collapsed when he heard the winner.
The live camera was instantly focused on him.
Little Lizi was still forcing a smile, but tears were flashing in her eyes.
It's really a bit miserable.
Having been a professional escort for 20 years, she was nominated four times and failed to become the emperor.
It's not that his performance in "The Wolf of Wall Street" was not good enough, but that he met a more evil opponent.
"Winning this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, "The Beautiful City"."
As the award presenters read out the winners, Zhang Yimou inevitably felt a little disappointed.
But he still applauded gracefully.
The films that were shortlisted and nominated are all of high quality.
This "City of Beauty" was the winner of the Palme d'Or last year. It can only be said that due to the taste of the judges, Lao Mouzi fell one step short after all.
The best picture went to "12 Years a Slave", which is slightly politically correct.
After the award ceremony, when Zhou Yutang came out, he met the team of the Sixth Princess.
The Sixth Princess also sent special observers to follow the entire Oscar ceremony.
One of the special observers named Du Feng caught Zhang Yimou and asked: "Director Zhang, you were nominated but failed to win. How are you feeling now?"
< br>“Being shortlisted and nominated is a sure thing.”
Zhang Yimou lives up to his reputation as a national teacher and is very well-organized: “This time I came with Yu Tang. The main purpose is to spread Chinese-language films and increase the number of Chinese-language films. The influence of movies.
I hope that more Chinese-language films will have the opportunity to go to international platforms such as the Oscars, so that more foreigners can understand and like Chinese-language films. ”
After a pause, Lao Mouzi changed the topic to Zhou Yutang: "It's a pity that I didn't win the award. You can interview Yutang. The movies he invested in have won many awards and he is the big winner tonight."< br>
Zhang Ziyi on the side also turned her eyes to Zhou Yutang.
Although this movie invested by Zhou Yutang did not win the Best Picture, it won both the Best Supporting Actor and the Best Actor.
This is not his first time working on a foreign language film. Whether it is a commercial film or an award-winning film, he can do it all.
If I could get on this boat, even just once, maybe it would be possible
Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyi's eyes became inexplicably hot.
The special observer Du Feng handed the microphone to Zhou Yutang. He and Yang Ma were currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation, so he accepted a series of interviews.
"A few days ago I saw you on the road show in China to promote "The Secret of the Dragon", and I didn't expect to be here. It feels a bit strange."
Du Feng said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to Director Zhou, both as an actor and a director. , or producer, you seem to be doing well. Can you share the secret of your success?”
“Hard work and a little luck”
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "At first this was just a small project that the company participated in. I didn't expect to win an Oscar. I was also surprised."
The interview ended and there was a cocktail party. On the way back to the hotel, I picked up Liu Shishi’s phone number.
After taking a shower, I had a video call with Liu Yifei. The master of time management is so good.
It was noon in China at this time, and Miss Liu was a little jealous when she saw Zhou Yutang wearing a bathrobe, showing his eight-pack abs.
I don’t know what she was thinking, but she seemed to be in a bad mood,
"Xiao Zhou, have I gained weight?"
Pinching her fair face, Liu Yifei in the video was very sad.
Zhou Yutang didn’t know until she finished speaking.
After the new year, the brand will have more schedules. When Xiao Liu attended a brand event in Sanya, netizens questioned her lack of self-discipline and failure to manage her body properly.
"What do they know? This is called Run."
"Huh!?"
Liu Yifei was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her hair suddenly exploded.
Thousands of miles apart, Zhou Yutang could feel her murderous aura through his mobile phone, and quickly coaxed: "Classmate Xiao Liu, I am going to criticize you, how can you doubt yourself?"
Although Liu Yifei is a bit letting herself go in her hometown during the Chinese New Year.
But after returning to work, she immediately began to undergo rigorous training. In real life, she was only just right plump, and her butt could compete with Reba.
".You are the most beautiful in my heart, and every smile makes me intoxicated."
"Xiao Zhou, please be serious!" Liu Yifei's face turned serious, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
“I think the earrings you were wearing that day really matched your golden dress.”
“Really?”
“More real than 24k gold. .”
"You have a good sense."
Liu Yifei turned her worry into joy: "I chose that myself, and the makeup teacher also said it goes well."
If you can coax a girl to have a rank , then Zhou Yutang is undoubtedly the strongest king.
The key is not to reason with them, but to show your attitude and then use some small things to divert their attention.
Those earrings were New Year’s gifts from Zhou Yutang. I can only say that Ni Ni’s aesthetics are very good
The Hollywood awards ceremony is over, and news reports are simultaneously transmitted back to China.
It is regrettable that Zhang Yimou accompanied him, but more people’s eyes are focused on Zhou Yutang.
"Let me go, when did Zhou Yutang's business reach Hollywood?"
"The village just got access to the Internet? "The Purge", "The Conjuring", "Annabelle" are not all Movies invested by Zhou Yutang?”
“Everyone has already made a lot of money”
"Five million US dollars, to win an Oscar winner and a Best Supporting Actor, awesome."
When the news spread back to China, many people discovered that Zhou Yutang had accomplished great things silently.
Even La Peikang was a little surprised.
He knew that Zhou Yutang had a trip to North America.
I thought he was going for the Best Foreign Language Film Award for "The Hunt", but I didn't expect that the movie he invested in would win two Oscars, and it was a very important award.
Lao Mouzi originally expected to stay for two more days. He and Li An had a lecture at New York University, and by the way, they also wanted to visit Zhou Yutang's company here.
But a sudden news from China disrupted the rhythm of his itinerary.
Zhang Yimou took the flight back to the capital directly on the same day.
