Chapter 558: Cool
If Wang Shu found Industrial Light and Magic as a domestic film and television company, he would definitely be slaughtered by a lion.
On the contrary, if Warner and Fox come forward, a suitable price can be negotiated.
After all, Warner and Fox are also one of the producers, and since they already have intersections with Industrial Light and Magic, they will naturally not sit back and watch the post-production special effects production of the movie "Pacific Rim" be ripped off.
In fact, this is the reason why Warner and Fox can participate in Wang Shu's co-production.
Wang Shu knew that in the original timeline, Warner was one of the producers and publishers of "Pacific Rim", and its post-production special effects were originally produced by Industrial Light and Magic.
This is still the case today, just a few years ahead of schedule.
With the heated discussion inside and outside the industry, many people now know that Wang Shu will prepare the first monster movie in China.
There is also a lively discussion about who can star.
Some people speculated Chen Long, some speculated Jet Li, and some speculated that Chen Long and Jet Li would merge again like in "The King of Kung Fu".
It can be seen that many people are still aware of the market.
As a co-production, "Pacific Rim" will have difficulty in succeeding in overseas markets unless it stars well-known European and American actors.
With these two people, the minimum is guaranteed.
For example, "The Legend of White Snake" starring Li Lienjie, a bad movie, sold 20 million US dollars overseas precisely because of Li Lienjie.
The price it can be sold for is all due to Li Lianjie’s name.
And Chen Long is even better.
"Is this co-production by Wang Shu a monster movie?" Chen Kaige turned back and looked at Chen Hong.
"Well, I heard it is the first monster movie in China." Chen Hong answered calmly.
"Ha." Chen Kaige sneered after hearing this, "The first monster movie in China? Is he worthy?"
He glanced at Chen Hong, who didn't answer, and said coldly, "Let's There have been monster movies in China more than ten or twenty years ago, but you just haven’t seen them.”
"And monster movies are not uncommon. There are so many in Hollywood."
"Do you know that Hollywood has all kinds of movies?"
"There are all kinds of movies of all types. Yes."
Hearing this, Chen Hong said abruptly: "Wang Shu is now a Hollywood director."
Chen Kaige was choked by this.
I just think Wang Shu is really annoying.
If Wang Shu had not appeared, he would have been the number one director in China.
Not only was he robbed of his limelight, but he also lost face several times.
It’s really hateful!
It is undeniable that for the general public, the number one domestic entertainment director is Zhang Yimou, a national director who has won many of the three major European film awards and directed the Olympic Games.
However, Chen Kaige doesn't think so.
What he is holding is the Cannes Palme d'Or, which is a higher honor than the awards Zhang Yimou received from the Berlin and Venice Film Festivals.
Therefore, in terms of awards and honors, he is the number one domestic entertainment director.
And, no one can compare with him.
Chen Kaige originally looked down on Zhang Yimou, and he just hid his inner thoughts before he won the award.
After winning the Palme d'Or, I stopped pretending, showing off my cards, and became arrogant.
In his opinion, although Zhang Yimou is famous, compared with him, he is far behind.
Others are even less worth mentioning.
He has always claimed to be the number one director in the Mainland.
Although he didn't say it with his mouth, he thought so in his heart, and his arrogant look also reflected the same.
Wang Shu came from a humble background, and he looked down upon him from the bottom of his heart.
From the bottom of my heart, I feel that Wang Shu’s background is not on the same level as him.
“Hollywood is just a Hollywood director. He was criticized for winning the Oscar. I heard that the Academy didn’t want to award him the award at all. However, the global financial crisis hit and the outcry was too loud, so they awarded it to him. ." Chen Kaige said in a strange tone.
Chen Hong also heard about this and answered with a smile: "No matter what, he won the Academy Award for Director."
"Now he is planning to film again. "Life of Pi" is said to be in the running for an Oscar early next year. ”
"Oh, I guarantee he won't win the Oscar next year." Chen Kaige said in a disdainful tone.
“That’s your conclusion?” Chen Hong looked back at him.
"Of course!" Chen Kaige answered confidently, and then added, "Do you think the Oscar is so easy to win?"
"I told you before, the Oscar The Academy Awards may seem fair and equitable, but in fact they are just about good packaging.”
“The most important thing about whether you can win an award is public relations and qualifications.”
"If you have sufficient qualifications and good public relations, you can win an award."
"And often when people with sufficient qualifications and good public relations win awards, it indicates that the corresponding works are not bad."
"So First of all, he looks very authoritative."
After saying this, he paused and said, "Wang Shu is a director who came to Hollywood from mainland China. He has to be qualified or not when it comes to public relations. Not as good as local Hollywood directors, plus the political correctness of the United States and so on.”
“The miracle of “The Wolf of Wall Street” winning an award is impossible.”
"So, he will definitely not win the Oscar next year."
These words are very clear and reasonable.
However, Chen Hong has confidence in Wang Shu and always feels that Wang Shu can make the impossible possible.
Just like, normal people will never be as durable as Wang Shu.
However, Wang Shu breaks the rules and is extremely talented.
Thinking of this, Chen Hong suddenly felt itchy.
It doesn’t matter if I haven’t seen it before.
But ever since I saw him
As long as I haven’t seen him for a while, I will start to feel itchy.
I would love to try it again.
Under normal circumstances, no one is really that strong unless they are on drugs.
And Wang Shu would be so strong, he felt that it might be his golden finger.
In his previous life, when he was a great online director, he had read some online novels. Many reborn people would have golden fingers.
Some have systems, and some have special powers.
And he has neither this nor that, only his body is strong.
Maybe this is his golden finger.
To be honest, with such a golden finger, he even thought about going to Japan to develop.
Going to Japan for development is not just to discuss life ideals with teachers.
But let people all over the world know how strong he is and be amazed by it.
For example, Brother Dong, if you get to know him through this, you will not only be amazed, but also laugh at yourself and feel inferior.
This is because he only has one thing.
"We will know early next year whether we can win the prize or not." Chen Hong answered.
“Haha.” Chen Kaige sneered and said, “We don’t even need next year, we can tell this year that he won’t win the award.”
“If he can’t win the award, then why would Fox look for him? How about his cooperation?" Chen Hong felt a little unhappy when she saw Chen Kaige looking down on Wang Shu.
I really want to point my finger at Chen Kaige and say coldly that as a senior in the industry, why would he target a young new director like this?
Is this dignified Palme d'Or director so narrow-minded?
Can’t you let Shushu go?
Did Shushu provoke you?
Used like this?
And, do you know that Shushu still maintains respect for you, Director Chen, even in front of her?
The result?
You, Director Chen, are so petty!
Shu Shu is so pitiful.
"Ha." Chen Kaige sneered, "Why can't Fox find him to make a movie?"
"I said he can't win the award, but I didn't say Fox can't win the award." "You want to You know, Hollywood is a producer-centric system, not a director-centric system.”
Chen Hong opened his mouth, but found it difficult to refute for a while.
Because Chen Kaige is right, Hollywood is a producer-centered system, Wang Shu is not qualified enough, and he is from the mainland, so he cannot win awards.
It doesn’t mean that the producer won’t win the award either.
It also does not mean that actors cannot win awards.
It doesn't mean that the various departments of the crew can't win awards.
Seeing that Chen Hong had stopped talking, Chen Kaige raised the corners of his mouth.
This round, he won the argument.
Not only did he win a great victory, but he also left Chen Hong speechless.
Cool!
Chen Hong returned to the room silently. Chen Kaige thought she was losing face and didn't want to stay here, so the smile on her face became even bigger.
Cool!
However, Chen Hong returned to the room and took out her mobile phone to send a text message to Wang Shu.
“Has the casting started? Who have you chosen?” Chen Hong.
“Today is just the preliminary round, and I won’t be there. I will host the audition when we get to the second round.” Wang Shu.
"So, it's not decided yet who will star?" Chen Hong.
"Yes." Wang Shu replied.
Then he replied: "What? Do you want to appear?"
Of course Chen Hong wants to appear, but it's just not possible.
She replied: "No, I just asked."
When Wang Shu saw this text message, he complained knowingly: Do you want to chat with me?
In fact, domestic entertainment has always been the same whether it was more than ten or twenty years ago or now.
Liu Xiaoqin, Grandma Liu, wrote in her autobiography that it would be impossible to be together for a few months without any problems while filming. She knew a lot of flirty couples, but others were really flirty and it was over after filming. .
She was the only one not playing, so she stood out.
Not only that, but a contemporary actress said that the actresses in her dormitory were unclear about the photographer of the crew.
Then, the actress in her dormitory was photographed very beautiful in film and television works, but she was not so beautiful and was photographed as a bumpkin.
Grandma Liu told everyone through her autobiography that even in her time, the entertainment industry was like that.
Furthermore, because in her time, both men and women had concerns, so it was just a casual romance.
Another actor also explained through her experience why photographers are able to hook up with many beautiful celebrities.
It can be seen that whether it is the previous era or the current era, the entertainment industry has always been the same.
Because the entertainment industry can corrode a person's mind, plus there are selfish desires and needs, anyone who is not firm in their heart will be corrupted.
As the saying goes, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
Therefore, without corruption, it will be difficult to get opportunities.
Under this causal relationship, the entertainment industry will inevitably corrupt people's minds.
Many people appear to be serious on the surface, but in fact they are fake.
Wang Shu pretended to reply: "Oh, I thought you had already thought about it and came to tell me about the role. I am so happy for nothing."
This kind of thing can satisfy the other person's emotions just by moving the keyboard. If you don’t do something that is valuable and doesn’t cost you anything, it will not be done in vain.
When Chen Hong saw this text message, she was both funny and touched. She replied: "I told you that I can't participate, so you'd better choose the role carefully."
"Oh , but the only heroine in my mind is you." Wang Shu continued to reply to the teasing words.
This sentence has a double meaning. It means that she is the only movie heroine in Wang Shu's heart, and it also means that she is the only woman in Wang Shu's heart.
Chen Hong understood that Wang Shu often said such puns and replied: "Talk nonsense again."
She saw this and was happy in her heart, but she needed to show it on the surface. It seems that the two of them are not suitable for each other, and they are thinking about Wang Shu at the same time.
"Miss you." Wang Shu replied.
“Yeah.” Chen Hong replied.
“I really miss you.” Wang Shu.
"Yeah." Chen Hong.
"Take a photo and send it over." Wang Shu.
Wang Shu didn’t want to send this text message, but from his standpoint and perspective, he should have sent this text message.
As an innocent boy who has never been in love, talked about life ideals with Chen Hongchang, and knows the taste of food, he will definitely need to miss you when the time comes.
If not, something is wrong.
And missing you cannot be shown by just replying a few sentences, it requires some methods.
For example, Wang Shu now seeks Chen Hong to send photos, which is a manifestation of knowing the taste of food.
As long as you show the taste of food, I must miss you.
As someone who has experienced this, Chen Hong knows very well that as long as a man is manipulated by his lower body, that is all he wants.
“No shooting.” Chen Hong replied.
"Just take a photo, no need to show your face." Wang Shu sent a text message for discussion.
Sending photos via SMS is called MMS.
So even without the assistance of instant messaging software such as WeChat, it is still possible to communicate by sending photos to each other.
As for Wang Shu, he never thought that Chen Hong would reply to him with pictures of MMS messages. He just used this method to show that he missed Chen Hong.
If Chen Hongzhen sends photos, it’s not impossible
"If you don't shoot, don't shoot." Chen Hong.
“I want to see it.” Wang Shu.
“You don’t even show your face, what’s there to see?” Chen Hong.
"Then take the photo showing your face." Wang Shu.
“No shooting.” Chen Hong.
"Take a picture." Wang Shu.
“No.” Chen Hong.
“I miss you.” Wang Shu.
“Yeah.” Chen Hong.
“So, take a photo and send it over.” Wang Shu.
"No." Chen Hong.
“I’m angry.” Wang Shu.
"You give birth." Chen Hong.
The two chatted for a long time, and Wang Shu actually received a multimedia message, which was sent by Chen Hong.
When I clicked on it, there was only a photo of legs in pants and nothing else.
This is not interesting.
Just as he was complaining secretly, another MMS message was received on his phone.
When I clicked on it, it turned out to be a photo of a shirt lifted up, revealing a faint bra.
The bra is purple and seems to be lace.
Late at night, Mei Ting appeared again at Wang Shu's villa.
Still dressed beautifully, sexy and sultry.
She leaned into Wang Shu’s ear and whispered: “I took the medicine, you can do it.”
When Wang Shu heard this, he didn’t see anything on the surface, but deep down in his heart Some hesitation.
It’s not that he doesn’t even have trust between people, but that Mei Ting may not be telling the truth.
If he keeps going like this, Mei Tiao will come to him in a few months with a full belly.
