Chapter 152 Chen Kaige: The clown is actually me!
Han Sanping.
Seeing him coming, everyone else stood up to say hello.
"Everyone sit down, I am a director today, not a powerful person."
If you want to say that Han Sanping is awesome, no one will deny it.
But his original intention was also simple.
It is to promote Dragon Kingdom movies.
Chen Kaige has helped me before and I trust him unconditionally.
The same goes for Zhang Yimou.
In 2002, he directly helped Lu Chuan and even made a guest appearance in person.
In 2006, he served as a producer for Ning Hao's movie "Crazy Stone"!
But at the same time, he is also the producer of Li Shaohong’s new Dream of Red Mansions.
No matter what, he is a person who sincerely devotes himself to the film industry of Longguo.
So even though Su Yi had no experience in making movies, after China Film experienced a major failure, Han Sanping was almost losing his position, but he still invested 30 million in Su Yi.
So he has a wide network of connections. Whether they are newcomers or seniors, they all have a good impression of Han Sanping.
Just now Han Sanping was speaking for Li Shaohong.
Because he knows Su Yi’s temper.
If a fight breaks out here, it will definitely be Li Shaohong who loses face.
Chen Kaige kept a dark face and said nothing, and Zhang Yimou also took the initiative to show his kindness.
I don’t know what happened to Li Shaohong.
Han Sanping hoped that everyone would be in harmony and eat dumplings.
But I also understand that this is impossible.
So he showed up in time to give Li Shaohong some face.
China Film is also preparing to launch a project to reshoot Dream of Red Mansions.
After all, many years have passed since the last version, and the painting style is no longer suitable.
So preparations are underway.
The preparation for a large-scale TV series is no less than a movie.
It may be normal to delay for a few years.
"Hello, Director Xie, I haven't seen you for a while. Your progress looks good."
Han Sanping sat next to Su Yi.
The atmosphere has relaxed a lot now.
Han Sanping even nodded to Chen Kaige.
It could be seen that Chen Kaige was giving him face, and he managed to squeeze out a smile from his gloomy face.
Li Shaohong on the side also shut up instantly.
Li Shaohong originally had a lukewarm relationship with Su Yi. Su Yi even attended the first episode of the collection program.
At that time, I was impressed by the performance of Monkey Rubber Band Teacher.
But later, because of Chen Kaige’s incident, I withdrew from the program.
After that, the relationship became cold.
Now there is even hatred.
“Very good. I am very happy to see the film industry developing so smoothly.”
Director Xie smiled.
All the big shots are here today.
“Director Han came here today. He must have something to say.”
Director Xie’s title is correct. Han Sanping is also a director, and in the world before Su Yi, he resigned from China Film and Television After becoming the chairman of the group, he still stayed in China Film Group as a director.
And if he comes now, he must have something to say.
Han Sanping hesitated slightly.
This is good news. I was originally going to wait to tell you after the meeting.
Unexpectedly, Li Shaohong suddenly publicly provoked Su Yi.
He was afraid of trouble and showed up in a hurry.
But Director Xie had already spoken, so he had to say it.
"Parasite, 78th Oscar, four nominations."
After hearing this, the scene fell silent for an instant.
We are all directors, so naturally we all know the weight of this.
“Four nominations?”
A light appeared in Jiang Wen’s eyes.
They wouldn't be surprised if it received multiple nominations for the Golden Horse Award, Hundred Flowers Award, Huabiao Award, and Golden Rooster Award.
But these four Oscar nominations shocked everyone.
Although it may not win, it is just a nomination for the time being.
Following this guy Su Yi is really good.
The movie shot by this young man has depth. During the filming, Jiang Wenmo was very energetic and even dealt cruelly to Liu Yifei.
Because he decided at that time that this movie would definitely achieve greater success.
Now it is indeed the case.
No wonder even Zheng Xiaolong, the original ‘boss’ in the Beijing circle, wanted to cooperate with Su Yi.
Zhao Baogang spoke for Su Yi in public.
Compared with them, apart from my bad temper, I really have no advantages.
But while I was a little melancholy, I also felt a little more joyful.
After all, being with such a crew is an honor in itself.
Not only Jiang Wen, but after a brief silence, everyone looked at Han Sanping, as if what they just heard was a lie.
"What? There shouldn't be any lies in my words."
Han Sanping laughed.
This is indeed a cause for celebration.
I even felt a little proud inside.
Since he took over, the development trend of Longguo's movies is very good.
And the current scale of development of private enterprises is not very large. Most of them invest in TV series.
Even at the beginning, Yang Mi followed the crew to sell the copyright before filming Fairy Sword 3.
This is all because of the fear of losing money.
Also for publicity.
China Film is not short of money, but it cannot be wasted carelessly.
Otherwise, state-owned enterprises will not go bankrupt, but their leaders will definitely change.
"Director Han, stop showing off."
Cheng Long was a little anxious.
In fact, his myth was also invested by China Film Group. Although the box office did not lose money this time, it did not meet expectations.
Jin Xishan, who was originally going to be popular, has not developed in the Dragon Kingdom, and his popularity is not even as good as the previous "third-level actor" Bangzi.
But Cheng Long knows how difficult it is to break into Hollywood and gain the recognition of those people.
When they watch Eastern movies, they always have a bit of scrutiny and harshness.
He risked his life and filmed "Red Zone".
The famous director Spielberg was also curious about how one of the thrilling actions was filmed.
There were very few special effects back then.
Cheng Long said directly with a smile.
Just jump over!
Spielberg expressed his admiration on the spot and even asked for Cheng Long's autograph for his son.
In that era, Li Xiaolong and Cheng Long made indelible contributions to promoting domestic kung fu movies.
Cheng Long also knows how difficult this is.
Now that Su Yi has been nominated for a movie, I am also happy.
“Best Picture!”
"Best Director Award!"
"Best Original Screenplay Award!"
"Best International Film Award!"
Although it is only a nomination, every word All suffocating.
“Impossible!”
Chen Kaige's expression changed drastically.
“There is no such way!”
Li Shaohong also frowned.
If there are many people who are secretly dissatisfied with Su Yi, the two of them are the most famous.
And they are right.
Why was the Best Picture nomination given to an Asian film?
The original Farewell My Concubine was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film!
Let alone Asia, it’s hard to see movies outside of English!
“When I got the news, I was a little shocked. After all, although art has no borders, which country can really do it?”
Han Sanping smiled.
Then there was a hint of comfort in his eyes. Being nominated is already an honor.
Chen Kaige sat on the stool, his breath a little unsteady.
This is the biggest breach of defense.
Oscar!
The pinnacle of commercial movies! The pinnacle of Star Flag State’s literary films!
Although it is not as artistic as Cannes in terms of art, it does surpass it in terms of fame.
After all, the focus of the two awards is different.
“So, today I attended the annual meeting because of this important moment.”
Li Shaohong and Chen Kaige, an old classmate in the front row, had very similar expressions.
Has their era completely passed?
Such a low-budget film could actually receive four Oscar nominations?
“It may also be because the box office in North America is nearly 300 million.”
Han Sanping continued to break the news.
Exceeded the domestic box office!
Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to Su Yi, trembled.
I almost fell into Su Yi's arms.
Well, maybe it was intentional.
Su Yi glanced at Liu Yifei and grabbed her arm.
North American box office exceeds domestic box office.
The box office of Bangzi Country exceeds that of domestic box office.
On this one item, the record has been broken.
Think about what Su Yi said back then.
"It doesn't matter. If you have time, you should go to Bangzi Country and experience the Blue Dragon Awards, Daejong Awards, and Baeksang Arts Awards!"
When Su Yi was at the Magnolia Awards, he put down the words .
At that time, it looked like he was talking out of anger.
But now it seems that the awards from Bangzi Country are nothing.
When Liu Yifei was nominated and won the award, she felt as if she was in a dream.
Unexpectedly, Su Yi has become a major Oscar-nominated director.
Or, it seems that I have only turned 18 not long ago.
But it seemed like it had happened for half a lifetime.
This man is amazing!
Su Yi did not guess what Liu Yifei was thinking.
Because more eyes from all around looked over.
After calculating this, the global box office seems to have exceeded one billion.
"Why are the movies so short-lived this time?"
Someone sighed.
Because if it had been released for a longer time, it might have set more records.
“Our country’s film has been released, and Bangzi Country has also withdrawn it. The North American film has already been given face.”
Han Sanping explained with a smile.
No one will ask why Dragon Kingdom was released first.
Because there must be major concessions here, Long Guo was asked to remove the movie first, and even gave Su Yi an unusual promotion to cadres.
It used to be a deputy director level salary, but now it has become a formal position.
He is also the youngest deputy director-level cadre.
This time, through one movie, he directly became a billionaire box office director!
"From now on, I'll call you Su Yiyi."
Jiang Wen smiled and joked, with shock in his eyes.
"Hahaha, the goal of one billion is too small. Let's go to one hundred billion."
Director Xie also nodded in praise, a rare joke.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Hong pulled her husband.
She already regretted letting her husband come over.
If there is such news, she will not let Chen Kaige come over and be humiliated.
Chen Kaige shook his head with a livid face.
"It's okay, Chen Hong. It's just a nomination and it's not the Palme d'Or. The meaning is different."
Li Shaohong comforted in a low voice.
He also signaled that Chen Hong could not leave at this time.
Otherwise, this would be a real loss of face.
"Congratulations to Director Su Yi!"
This time even Feng Xiaogang started to congratulate him.
He is a 'sharp' man.
This has always been the case since we started hanging out with Wang Shuo.
But he is not the only one who adapts to the changing circumstances.
Many directors in Beijing circles have opened their mouths to celebrate.
“It’s just a nomination, and I didn’t win any awards. It’s nothing.”
Even Su Yi knows why this movie has a high box office in North America.
They are also enjoying that a country has become their ‘licking dog’.
No matter who made the movie, they enjoyed this feeling.
It’s even very immersive. What they are doing is from God’s perspective.
Even the upper class in the movie are just their ‘playthings’.
This group of North American market audiences can be imagined
Su Yi sneered in his heart, but the honor this movie brought him was something he did not expect.
·····
Red Star House Company.
Mother Liu was watching the news, but suddenly someone called.
"Mr. Liu! Liu Yifei is amazing this time! Congratulations! The North American box office is a hit, and Bangzi Country is also booming. It has been nominated for four Oscars! And, there are as many as ten awards related to Liu Yifei! ”
Mother Liu was stunned.
A movie, so what?
Even Zhang Yimou and others before him did not have such ability, right?
I didn’t expect to fight back so soon after coming back from the Star Flag Country?
When filming this movie, Liu Yifei indeed suffered a lot.
In Mother Liu’s opinion, some were even ‘making things difficult’.
Which girl wouldn’t collapse after seeing that shot of being covered in sewage?
Not to mention Liu Yifei, who just turned 18 years old.
You also need to be fearless on camera.
But now it seems that it is completely worth it!
Mother Liu is not a powerful person, but since her daughter wants to be in the entertainment industry, she must do a good job.
Now that I think about it, how ridiculous it was that I had tailor-made the path to stardom for my daughter.
Why did I sign with Sony? I also want to develop in Bangzi Country and take a comprehensive approach.
Fortunately, my daughter was trapped by love and chose the right path!
"No way, it's just a nomination. There are many people who have been nominated, but they may not win. This is a matter of next year."
It's December now, and there are only a few months left. You will know.
Although she talks modestly, Liu's mother is still very humble towards the person who gave her the news.
"Otherwise, other people's daughters are the most impressive, so powerful at such a young age. It's really enviable!"
Mother Liu was happy to hear this, but she couldn't help but wait for her daughter Back.
········
“Witnessing the rise of a new star, we also celebrate that our director Su Yi won the first Film Directors Association, Director of the Year title!”
This time it was obviously a celebration banquet.
Not only did Chen Kaige feel disgusted, but it also made him feel uncomfortable all over.
To be honest, this award is definitely not as valuable as the Palme d'Or and the Oscar.
But you must know that this award is something you would rather give up than waste it.
If there is no suitable one, I would rather leave it vacant.
The most valuable one this time was given to Su Yi.
The young director gave it to Lu Chuan.
The Box Office Director of the Year is also Su Yi.
The actress of the year is not Liu Yifei.
But Zhou Xun.
However, this film award does not help actors much.
After all, it is the Film Directors Association, which is far inferior to awards such as the Golden Rooster Award and the Golden Horse Award.
Liu Yifei didn’t care either.
However, just when Chen Kaige breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was finally over.
A staff member walked over slowly and said something to Han Sanping.
Han Sanping looked excited.
“Is the news true?”
“I confirmed it many times. The email said it clearly, but I still found three translators.”
Today I will try my best to update three times
