Chapter 359 Some failures are doomed from the beginning (please vote!)
But judging from the results, the 82nd Oscars were not happy.
From a process perspective, it is even more objectionable.
Appeared in the media interview area with Bill Nye. When being interviewed by reporters, Little John first congratulated "Young Victoria".
Then he expressed his opinion with silence.
Other nominees who were nominated but did not receive the award also sent congratulations to their competitors.
Public relations money is spent, but the results are not as expected, which is normal.
Besides, everyone who participated in this award ceremony could also see the truth.
The reason behind "The Hurt Locker" being able to win so many awards is clear at a glance.
So what about one of the most authoritative awards in the world? It’s still just a place to share the cake and pay attention to ‘ZZ is correct’.
"Being able to win the Best Art Direction is an affirmation of us by the judges. I already said the other things when I came on stage to accept the award for Anna, XiangYang and our creative team.
Thank you very much. Everyone's support this time, "Midnight in Paris" also tells us a truth, life must be forward-looking, rather than staying in the past."
Bill Nye answered the reporter's question with a smile, simply. After taking a group photo, he quickly took Little John away.
This kind of session is the stage for celebrating the best actor, best actress and best film.
As for Best Director Catherine
Well, who asked her to be a woman?
For this movie that failed at the box office but won many honors, some people on the Internet commented dissatisfiedly:
“This Oscar Awards ceremony is so disappointing. "Travel" is a comic film that tells a straightforward story better than Catherine's. "
"I can't believe that such a movie can win the best picture, best director and best screenplay. I remember correctly, "District 9" also had a female director named Caroline"
"Midnight in Paris was not favored by the judges entirely because they did not hire a black male lead. ”
"."
As the awards ceremony came to an end, the DVD market was quickly flooded with comments from many netizens.
Except "Avatar" because it is still in theaters, the other nominated films have received a lot of sales improvements, but "The Hurt Locker" seems to have been deliberately ignored by everyone. generally.
It seems that this is a clichéd movie, and there are no exciting scenes worth revisiting again and again.
Even the themes of the movie are boring.
This has also affected the box office of "Breakup Letter", which is currently being released and stars American sweet girls Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum.
Simply because this movie, adapted from Nicholas Sparks's novel of the same name, also contains some discussions on the devastation of love and life caused by war.
But all this has nothing to do with Xiangyang heading to China the day after the award ceremony.
On the other hand, Little John, who rushed back from Los Angeles, was still aggrieved and kept talking about how he must find a good script so that the Yankees like country bumpkins could see what real costume design is.
Before boarding the plane, he and Xiang Yang got some good news.
Axel, who rushed back to Paris, moved up a bit and became the deputy CEO of the Hermès Group.
As for Patrick’s physical condition.
“Mr. Xiangyang, welcome back to China.”
The person who came to pick up Xiangyang and Little John was Wang Zhen, the representative of Ordos. .
A little older than Xiang Yang and Little John, she is dressed appropriately, wears exquisite glasses, and smiles gently, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Xiang Yang warmly stretched out his hand and shook it, "Hello, Ms. Wang, I have admired your name for a long time."
"It should be Mr. Xiang who has admired your name for a long time." Wang Zhen pursed his lips and looked. Xiang Little John said in English:
"This should be Mr. Jean, I have seen you on TV."
"Have you seen me?"
During the handshake , Little John was a little confused.
Are you famous in China?
Could it be
"Miss Wang, I was completely deceived." Little John felt a little embarrassed when he thought of why he was famous in China.
"It seems that sir, I have misunderstood. I am talking about the Oscars."
Wang Zhen paused, looked at Xiang Yang and said: "I failed to win the best costume design , which is a pity.”
"It's not bad."
Xiang Yang looked at the other party with a smile. This woman is better than Jiang Mumu
Forget it, it's better not to embarrass Jiang Mumu.
"Have Mr. Xiang been to our place by car?" Wang Zhen asked curiously as he led Xiang Yang and the others out and directly to the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle in the underground parking lot.
Her assistant also came over immediately and helped Xiangyang and Little John put away their luggage.
"Not really." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
This answer surprised Wang Zhen.
But she immediately smiled and said: "That's just right, you can enjoy the scenery along the way. Your "Wanjiang" is so beautifully written."
""Wanjiang"."
For a moment, Xiangyang felt as if he could understand the embarrassing experience Little John had just felt.
"Ms. Wang was joking."
Hearing Xiang Yang's slightly tight voice, Wang Zhen frowned strangely. Did he say the wrong thing?
Tuscany, the cast of "Legal Copy".
The day after the Oscars, filming for the movie continued.
Thanks to the early preparations and the fact that the script was shot around one place, everything seemed orderly. However, despite the fact that the movie only shoots what happened in one day, a lot of effort was put into preparing the scene and props.
Yesterday, "Midnight in Paris" failed to win the Oscar.
Abbas, who saw Liu Qianqian and Laura this morning, immediately offered comfort.
After hearing what the great director said, Liu Qianqian, who felt that the result was unfair yesterday, adjusted after a night of adjustment. Now when we talk about it again, she is no longer so aggrieved.
However, her heart was still full of unwillingness. Su Chang and Zhang Liangying, who had been here for a few days, no longer felt uneasy about a director of this level chatting cordially with their friends.
How to say?
Once you get used to it, you get used to it.
Soon, Juliette Binoche, who played the heroine, and William Simmel, the male protagonist, also appeared on the filming scene.
Listen to the voices of the two of them communicating, they were still talking about the Oscar Awards ceremony.
“Liu, it’s such a pity.”
As soon as they met, Juliette Binoche gave her warm embrace to Liu Qianqian and whispered: "In my eyes, "Midnight in Paris" is the best movie."
"Thank you ." Liu Qianqian said, smiling at Juliet, and brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"I also think "Midnight in Paris" should win the best picture."
William Simmel couldn't help but shake his head.
"Thank you." Liu Qianqian nodded towards the charming old handsome guy, a smile appeared on her lips, "Yesterday Xiangyang said that Warner seems to be interested in filming "Midnight London"."
"Oh, right." William Simmel became interested as soon as he heard it. "There are many stories to tell in London."
Juliet, a Frenchman who heard about this, also expressed his interest after hearing this. She was interested in such follow-up works, but soon, when she learned during the chat that this second film was only funded by Warner, she immediately understood the hidden content.
"Anna Wintour and Bill Nye are British. Neither of them will participate."
"Okay, get ready to shoot."
Half an hour later, the crew of "Legal Copy" began a day of filming.
Sitting in front of the director's monitor, Abbas called Liu Qianxi and asked her to sit in a chair and enjoy Juliette Binoche's performance with him.
At the moment when the other party mobilized his emotions, he asked: "Have you got the script of "Alien"?"
"Not yet."
"Waiting for you to get it If you don’t mind, let me have a look.”
“Okay, director”
Having been together for more than a month, Liu Qianqian already has enough understanding of the director Abbas.
What surprised her was that the Persian director initially liked American Hollywood Western movies, but later he was slowly influenced by realist movies from Italy and France.
The reason why Abbas asked Liu Qianqian to observe Juliet's performance in detail through the monitor is also very simple.
“You have to focus on her eyes. The affectionate eyes are enough to contain meaningful language.”
“Her skill is to show the rich and detailed character of the characters through her eyes. Inner twists and turns.”
You have to pay attention to her eyes. What you lack most is a sense of naturalness. "
"Well, I will look carefully."
Liu Qianqian just responded, and when "action" sounded, her voice stopped abruptly.
Eyes
This topic reminded her of what actors like Colin and Cotillard told her when she participated in the filming of "Midnight in Paris"
It also made her think about the things the teacher kept repeating when she was studying acting in school.
It’s just this kind of thing
Every time she stares intently at Juliette Binoche’s pair of deep, slightly melancholy eyes that seem to be talking, Liu Qianqian feels like she is comparing herself to the other person. It can be described as "glazed eyes".
Su Chang, who came to Italy during the holidays to visit the class, also has a deep understanding of this.
No wonder, she is one of the highest paid actresses in France
Being able to appreciate and figure out the acting skills of such top actresses at close range is something they can't even figure out in China.
In China, this is equivalent to cooperating with Gong Huang in filming.
I can only think about it in my dreams.
The other side.
Little John’s mouth didn’t stop all the way.
Whether it’s chatting or eating.
Driving from Shangjing to the grassland, Wang Zhen made clear arrangements along the way.
In addition, since she had the experience of studying abroad, she did not need a translator in terms of language, so she kept talking and laughing while introducing the scenery along the way to Little John.
For lunch, we also specially found a yurt restaurant in Huailai, so that Little John could taste the most unique barbecue in the grassland area.
Seeing that he couldn't stop talking, Xiangyang gnawed on his piece of mutton chop and thought casually, when this guy really gets to the grassland, he won't be stuffed to death.
After lunch, a few people continued to set off.
After eating and drinking, little John took Wang Zhen and started chatting again.
Just now at the dinner table, he heard that such yurts are a specialty of the grasslands, which was very strange.
"Mr. Rang, there is a film and television base here. Not to mention the characteristics of our grasslands, there are even deserts and Gobis." Wang Zhen explained with a smile.
"Film and television base?" Little John muttered and looked at Wang Zhen, "Are movies still being made here?"
"I read in the newspaper two days ago that there is a costume drama that will be filmed here."
"Oh? A costume drama?" Xiang Yang, who had just got in the car, said casually and then looked at Little John, "It can't be "The Warring States" that you invested in."
"How is that possible?" Little John said solemnly.
He couldn't tell. Xiang Yang's tone was teasing that he didn't know where the movie he invested in was shot.
"Haha, it's really not the case." Wang Zhen smiled slightly, took out his mobile phone and searched for it, then rushed to Xiangyang and said:
"It's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" directed by Xu Ke."
""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"?"
Hearing the name, Xiang Yang clicked his tongue in surprise.
Well, I guess Lu Zheng will have to pay the compensation to his grandma’s house this time.
Who watched "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and went to see "Warring States"
