Chapter 112 Buy All
Yang Ye thought that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would have the same ending as "Jaws" and "Star Wars" and win a bunch of small prizes.
Unexpectedly, the film was awarded the Best Director award in the end.
Among the numerous film awards, Best Director is second only to Best Film, and can be considered a silver medal.
In the audience, the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was crazy with joy, especially Shay, who hugged everyone excitedly to celebrate.
Yang Ye frowned when he saw it, Damn it, they are all my wives, please take it easy!
Before taking the stage, Hu Jinquan smiled and said to Yang Ye: "Master Yang, thank you!"
Yang Ye said with a smile: "Don't say that, Old Hu, your contribution to this movie is No less than me."
The two came to the stage together. Jane Fonda held the statuette and winked at Yang Ye, saying: "Congratulations to you!"
Yang Ye accepted. After passing the statuette, he hugged the famous Hollywood beauty and said: "Thank you!"
After speaking, he quickly stepped aside and allowed Hu Jinquan to continue hugging Jane Fonda.
This bastard actually wants to seduce me, damn it!
When Yang Ye received the trophy just now, Jane Fonda actually discharged her electricity at him.
To be honest, although Jane Fonda is forty years old, she is well maintained and is still worth a try.
But in the 1960s and 1970s, the United States advocated rock and roll, fashion, and X-liberation, which was extremely chaotic. And Jane Fonda's way of facing life is: X exploration.
According to her own words, she didn't even know how many people she had slept with in her life. As long as you are pleasing to the eye, it doesn't matter what race the other person is, male or female.
Her famous saying is: "If I sleep with someone else, it's not cheating, because I love you!"
For twenty years, two eras, the entire North America was filled with This kind of thing, so although Yang Ye has been to the United States several times, he has never looked for a woman in the United States.
Although Yang Ye himself is not a good bird, as a human being, he pays attention to double standards!
Yang Ye and Hu Jinquan jointly raised the statuette, and the reporter below took pictures.
Yang Ye was tired of giving his acceptance speech tonight, so he asked Hu Jinquan to speak first. As a result, Hu Jinquan didn't want to steal Yang Ye's limelight. He simply thanked Yang Ye and his family, and that was it.
When it was Yang Ye's turn, he took a breath and said at the speed of a machine gun: "I want to thank Oscar for giving me this honor, my sister Xia Meng, and my partner Robert Shea. , thank you to director Hu Jinquan, thank you to the entire crew, thank you to my martial arts team Yuan Heping, Yuan Renxiang, and Yuan Richu, thank you to my lighting and photography team...Thank you to Ti Lung, Zheng Peipei, Huiying, Red and White Eagle, Shi Jun...Thanks to my friends Xu Feng, Deng Lijun, Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Hu Yinmeng Yamaguchi Momoe Isabelle Adjani...I love you! Thank you! Merci!"
Yang Ye thanked the main characters of the crew for more than fifty times! Thank you to everyone, and even included Yamaguchi Momoe and Adjani, two people who have nothing to do with the movie.
There was no pause in the process, and the five languages were seamlessly switched. If the other party was an American, he spoke English, if the other party was a Hong Konger, he spoke Cantonese, and if the other party was Taiwanese, he spoke Mandarin...< br>
The people in the audience were stunned. When this guy finished his performance in one breath, bursts of warm applause broke out from the audience.
China really has a good tongue. Jane Fonda looked at Yang Ye with even more charming eyes.
After Yang Ye thanked him, he quickly pulled Hu Jinquan and slipped off the stage.
When they returned to their seats, Xie held out his thumbs with both hands and said loudly: "Awesome!"
Yang Ye has no hope of winning the ultimate award for best film in the future. , to win the Best Director is already a big deal.
Sure enough, this award went to Stallone's "Rocky"!
In fact, in the history of the Oscars, Best Director and Best Picture are usually conjoined. Winning Best Director basically qualifies for Best Picture.
Because the best director commends the director's ability to control the movie, since you are capable enough to control a movie, it is logical that this movie becomes the best movie.
For example, in the ten years from 2005 to 2014, there were seven years when the best film and best director were conjoined.
The three years when the two awards were separated were: in 2006, the best director was awarded to Li Bian and the best film was awarded to "Crash"; in 2013, the best director was awarded to Li Bian and the best film It was given to "Escape"; in 2014, the best director was given to Alfonso Cuaron, and the best film was given to "Twenty Years a Slave".
Is the film won by Press Lee and Alfonso not worthy of being the best film? I'm afraid not. In those two times, Li Yi's "Brokeback Mountain" and "Life of Pi" were both masterpieces.
If I have to find a reason, it's probably because Li Yin is Chinese and Alfonso is Mexican.
Going back to the 1977 Academy Awards, it was a surprise to win the Best Director. Winning the Best Picture was a fool’s errand!
It was not until the 92nd Oscars in 2020 that the best film was awarded to the Korean film "Parasite", breaking the law that non-English films cannot win the Oscar for best film, and Bong Joon-ho also won the best film. Good director.
However, this award is more like a reward for the Korean entertainment industry to fully open up to the United States.
Because one year later, Korean movies collapsed! (Due to the epidemic, the awards in 2020 will be issued in 2021.)
There will be 108 Korean movies released in 2022, only 8 of which have passed the profit line, and all the others have failed. By 2023, no one will dare to invest in Korean movies anymore, because they will lose money if they invest.
At that time, in addition to Hollywood blockbusters and Japanese cartoons, there were not even a single local movie left on the box office rankings in the Korean market.
......
At the dinner party after the award ceremony, Yang Ye became the center of attention. Many people came to take photos with him, and more importantly, people from eight major film companies came to contact him.
After all, Yang Ye can direct and act by himself, and he is still a hot kung fu star.
Hollywood is a commercial society. As long as you are good and can make money for the capitalists, it will indulge you without any bottom line.
No, with the blessing of three consecutive blockbuster movies and the aura of best director, major film companies have extended olive branches to Yang Ye, hoping to cooperate.
Of course, Yang Ye would not refuse this kind of thing outright. He said that all invitations were negotiable.
But... Yang Ye is an Asian after all. If he wants to cooperate, he also needs to find a suitable subject.
This reason is simply impeccable, because Yang Ye is a yellow man, and if you want him to be the leading actor, his identity must be justified.
So, everyone can only set an intention to cooperate first, and then find a suitable script, that's all.
After the banquet, Yang Ye found Xie and said bluntly: "I think New Line should enter the field of production."
Xie is a very ambitious person who dares to think Those who dare to do it, in the original time and space, even Fox did not dare to release "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", so he dared to do it.
New Line Cinema was once second only to the six major film companies, but after the success of "The Lord of the Rings", New Line was too obsessed with magical themes and bet crazily on magical IPs. In the end, it went too big and killed itself. .
After listening to Yang Ye's words, Xie Yi said in surprise: "Nick, do you think so too?"
Yang Ye chuckled: "So that's what you planned too?"
Xie Yi said: "Of course, what's the point of just being a distributor? Who doesn't want to be a producer? What movies do you think we should make?"
"Us?"
"Yes, us! I hope you can invest in New Line Cinema. As long as you agree, I will give you 30% of the shares.”
Yang Yexin said, awesome! As expected, he is a person who does big things, and 30% of the shares will be given away as soon as possible.
Then I will give you a fortune that is overwhelming!
Yang Ye doesn’t want to cooperate with the Eight Big Companies, in which case he will just be a wage earner.
So... Yang Ye chose to support New Line Cinema and become his own boss.
Yang Ye originally planned to pay some money to buy shares, but Xie Yi was very happy and gave him 30% for free as soon as he asked.
30% is enough. After all, Yang Ye’s base is still in Hong Kong. It is impossible for Yang Ye to give up the Chinese market and go to Hollywood with bare hands to work hard.
As for Xie Yi, he is a very capable person and needs to be in charge of the company. Yang Ye only needs to make two movies from time to time and be responsible for making the company prosperous.
Yang Ye smiled and said: "If you are so generous, I can't let you suffer."
Shay laughed loudly: "Nick, your talent in movies is really impressive. Jealousy, what I’m waiting for is your words, what kind of movie do you think we should make, an action movie?”
Yang Ye said: “There are no good action movie actors in Hollywood, they can’t do actions like mine... ...Don't try to make me think about it. I have a lot to do in Hong Kong and I don't have time to come over and help you shoot an action movie. My advice to you is... to shoot a horror movie.
Didn't you notice? Hollywood's traditional themes are no longer popular, and the newly growing generation in the United States no longer likes those old-fashioned historical dramas and musicals. They start to like action movies, horror movies, and even science fiction movies. They think such movies are the coolest.
The "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" three years ago was a huge success, and the "Jaws" two years ago made the young Spielberg the box office king. Bro, the era of horror movies is upon us! ”
Yang Ye didn’t lie. The 1980s was the era of horror films, with all kinds of classic horror films emerging in endlessly.
New Line Cinema originally started by releasing horror films. After hearing this, Xie Yi Very interested, he said seriously: "If you say so, I will buy the copyright of Stephen King's novel and remake it into a movie. Oh, you know Stephen King? ”
Stephen King is known as the king of horror novels. His novels have been adapted into movies in large numbers, the most famous of which are "The Shining" and "The Shawshank Redemption". However, it has only been three years since he became famous. A movie adaptation of "The Shining" would not appear until 1980.
Yang Ye nodded and said: "Of course I know, his novels are great."
"Then which one do you think we should buy?"
Yang Ye stared and said : "Which one? Of course I bought them all, including the ones he hasn't published yet."
Shay laughed: "Yes, you are right. I was wrong, I will buy it next week Go to Stephen King to discuss the copyright issue."
"As for our venture into the production industry, I will write a script myself and sell it to our company."
Yang Ye said selling, but Xie had no objection. The money should be paid. He asked: "What script?"
"In the vast universe, an alien creature slipped into a human spaceship. , entered the body of a crew member..."
