"The Last Emperor" is really crazy!
At the beginning of this year, the global prize winning mode was launched.
Before the Oscars, there are four film awards called "Oscar vanes"!
They are: Golden Globe Awards, Critics Choice Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards and British Academy Film Awards.
"The Last Emperor" received eleven nominations at the British Academy Film Awards and ultimately won three awards.
Subsequently, he received five nominations at the Golden Globe Awards and won four awards in a row. The only award he missed was that Tony Leung was the Best Actor.
This is of course not because Liang Jiawei is not good at acting.
As a Chinese actor, being nominated is already the limit!
Subsequently, in Bertolucci’s hometown of Italy, at the David Awards, the country’s highest film award, “The Last Emperor” received eleven nominations and won ten awards.
The one that was lost was Chen Chong's "Best Actress", a white-skinned gay, even if she was nominated, she would win.
Immediately afterwards, both the Japanese Film Academy Awards and the French César Awards awarded the "Best Foreign Language Film" to "The Last Emperor"!
"The Last Emperor" entered the Academy Awards with all its honors covered.
The Hong Kong Film Awards... Although "The Last Emperor" is produced by Poplar Pictures, it has pure Hong Kong origins.
But it is an English movie, and its Mandarin version was dubbed later.
Since it is not a Chinese-language film, it does not comply with the competition rules and will be rejected.
This reason is very legitimate, and Yang Ye has nothing to say.
Others were relieved. "The Last Emperor" swept the world. If it were forced to be included in the selection, everyone would stop playing.
But... although there is no "The Last Emperor", there is still "Terminator 2"!
……
“Call it done!”
Yang Ye greeted, and the crew members began to pack their things and prepare to leave.
In the dressing room, the three main characters Yang Ye, Hong Jingbao and Zhong Chuhong sat in a row and asked the makeup artist to help remove their makeup.
Yang Ye said: "San Mao, our crew has to stop for a while. If you have nothing to do, join the three brothers Aaron and A Biao and make a movie together!"
Hong Jingbao He said happily: "Okay!"
In the past, when the three brothers combined, they could kill Japan and South Korea every time. Hong Jingbao still misses it very much!
In fact, he is just a sidekick. Without him, Chen Long could kill Japan and South Korea by himself!
As for the movies to be released this year, there are three movies by Zhou Xingchi, one by the three brothers Hong Jingbao, and Chen Lung himself has another movie "Police Story 2".
Xu Ke and John Woo also have one "Little Lee Flying Knife" and one "Bloodshot", which makes seven movies.
Basically invincible in the fields of comedy and action.
Yang Yexin said, let’s do some more romance movies.
Last year I picked up a Korean romance film "Untouchable Lovers", and this year I'll pick up a "My Sassy Girl".
For a savage girlfriend, the heroine must be a stunning beauty.
Why can people accept a girl who beats her boyfriend every day and still enjoy watching it?
Because that girl is Jun Ji-hyun, countless boys put themselves in it and were willing to be beaten!
Yang Ye thought for a while and found that both Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin were more suitable.
Their classic looks are long and straight black, very similar to Jun Ji-hyun.
The ideal type in most boys’ minds is black, long and straight.
Let’s give it to Wang Zuxian, Li Jiaxin’s acting is too damn urgent.
And Yang Ye didn't want to praise her too quickly, so as not to spoil her.
Yang Ye has not eaten Wang Zuxian yet, because Wang Zuxian cannot accept polygamy.
Yang Ye didn't force her. This kind of thing must be done willingly.
As for Li Jiaxin, although Yang Ye ate it directly, he always looked a little aloof, which made Li Jiaxin very distressed.
On the one hand, she felt that Yang Ye didn't pay much attention to her. After all, she was a little girl and she still yearned for sweet love.
On the one hand, she couldn't live without the luxurious life Yang Ye provided him, because it was too much.
……
As for the male lead, he must not be too handsome, he must have a diaosi vibe, he must have a talent for comedy, and he must have great acting skills.
There is no doubt that the most suitable candidate in Hong Kong is Zhang Xueyou.
Give Zhang Xueyou another classic theme song "IBelieve" and sing a love song, won't the effect be explosive?
This is a divine song popular throughout Asia, and Sun Nan sang it as one of his masterpieces.
Leave it to Zhang Xueyou to sing, and there is also a bonus for the movie, this album must be sold like crazy, right?
Okay, okay, that's it.
Yang Ye thought, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
Zhong Chuhong said strangely: "Why are you laughing?"
"My wife is giving birth to a baby!"
"Huh?"
"Uh, no, I was thinking about the lines for the movie, and I just said it smoothly!" Yang Ye quickly waved his hand.
Zhong Chuhong didn't believe it and asked: "Are you going to be a father?"
Yang Ye was speechless for a moment, so he had to tell the story about Deng Chao calling the police in "The Mermaid".
After hearing this, Zhong Chuhong laughed so hard that she trembled with laughter. She patted her thigh and said, "Didn't you really come up with the joke just to coax me?"
Yang Ye rolled his eyes and said: "Even if it is, it means that I am very attentive to you!"
"Don't come here, please be careful with your Baihui. When will your movie be shot? I really want to see it hahaha!"
Yang Ye sighed, damn, in order to get rid of this panic, I can't help but let Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" be released ahead of schedule!
It just so happens that Chow Sing-chi has previously produced three movies this year, but now there are only "The Gambler" and "Shanghai Gambler". Add in "Mermaid" and it's a promise fulfilled!
"Mermaid" was also very impressive at the time, and it not only exploded at the box office in China.
The box office has also exploded in Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. For example, it ranked second in Vietnam.
That year, among the top ten box-office films in Vietnam, nine were Hollywood films, and only one was a Chinese-language film.
…

……
However, although "Mermaid" had a high box office, its reputation was not very good.
Actually, the main reason why Zhou Xingchi’s later films did not have a good reputation was that he did not act in them.
Deng Chao's comedy level is far different from Zhou Xingchi's.
If Zhou Xingchi himself were to act in "Mermaid"...it would be a good idea!
Yang Ye suddenly became excited.
In addition, due to the decline of Zhou Xingchi's creative ability in his later period, he began to speculate and even plagiarize.
"Mermaid" not only contains many old jokes, but also has many plagiarized plots. It has been criticized and is also the reason for its poor reputation.
For example, when it comes to making chicken, Lin Yun said she was making chicken, and Deng Chao thought she was a prostitute, but he didn't expect that she was making roast chicken.
This meme comes from the 1998 movie "Love You 8 Hours a Day" starring Liang Caowei.
Xu Ruoxuan said she was a chicken cook, and Liang Caowei thought she was a prostitute, but it turned out that her family really sold roast chicken.
Another example is when the police were called, the two funny guys Wen Zhang and Li Shangzheng drew various weird mermaid patterns on the paper.
This paragraph was copied from "One Piece", so it was ridiculed by Japanese manga fans.
If "Mermaid" is released ahead of schedule, all the old jokes will become new ones, and the plagiarized jokes will become original. Wouldn't the reputation get better?
This is...an old wine in a new bottle, it must taste great!
As for how to create the mermaid effect, don’t make it too simple, just add props.
Tom Hanks filmed "Mermaid" in the 1980s, this is nothing!
The selling point of "Mermaid" is not the special effects. It made 3D just to cheat money.
......
Because of a blurted sentence, a movie will be released early.
Seems a bit sloppy? Never mind him!
After Yang Ye confirmed the matter, he said to Zhong Chuhong: "Ahong, come with me to attend an event tomorrow!"
Zhong Chuhong said strangely: "What event?"
"The ribbon-cutting ceremony! ”
“You still need to stand up for others and attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony?”
“I am a shareholder!”
"Oh, I'm the boss again, congratulations!"
Zhong Chuhong agreed readily, and then asked: "Why do you want me to go?"
"By the way, ribbon-cutting Come back and continue filming."
"Okay!" Zhong Chuhong thought this was a good reason: "What kind of company are you running?"
"What?" Zhong Chuhong was stunned. Satellite company? It sounds very noble at first glance.
“The name is Asia Satellite Corporation. We are preparing to launch a commercial satellite covering a vast area starting from Guam in the east, Egypt in the west, Australia in the south, and the Soviet Union in the north. Our main business is to provide users in the region Provide satellite communication services."
After hearing this, Hong Jingbao couldn't help but secretly sighed. He just made a movie. Yang Ye had already started to play with such high-end things as satellites. It was not a rank at all!
Zhong Chuhong said in surprise: "You are really getting more and more powerful!"
"It's not bad!"
...
After the news of the establishment of Asia Satellite Company appeared in the newspapers, people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry looked at Yang Ye differently.
In the past, they thought that Yang Ye was the same person as them, they both made movies, but they were just a little more powerful.
However, when Yang Ye stood together with representatives from CITIC, General Motors, and Daito to unveil the Asia Satellite Corporation, he finally realized that they were completely different from them.
After the satellite company was unveiled, Yang Ye flew directly to New York with the crew.
Due to time constraints, I will not participate in this year's Golden Melody Awards.
The filming location for the New York scenes is, of course, the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.
When many Hong Kong movies mention New York, this bridge will appear.
For example, in the movie "Autumn Fairy Tale", the Brooklyn Bridge appears again and again, almost becoming an image.
At this time, the crew of "The Last Emperor" had also arrived in the United States and began cooperating with United Artists on public relations activities to compete for this year's Academy Awards.
But they were on the east coast, and Yang Ye was on the west coast, so they were too lazy to meet.
After "The Last Emperor" was released in North America at the end of last year, it only made more than 700,000 US dollars at the box office, and no one watched it at all.
After sweeping the Golden Globe Awards, United Artists immediately added more films, and the box office took off, reaching more than 15 million US dollars in one month.
After winning the Oscar, it can earn at least another 20 million US dollars at the box office.
This is why the Oscar has a high gold content, because it is really valuable!
"Terminator 2" was also nominated for several Oscar technical awards by United Artists.
But Yang Ye doesn’t plan to participate. Let’s send Lin Qingxia to make a trip when the time comes.
Yang Ye doesn’t have time, so hurry up and finish filming this scene. He still has to meet Wang An! (End of this chapter)
