Chinese filmmakers have competed in the Oscars for many years, and they have returned home every year.

The best score was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

Then happily went to play a wave of soy sauce, and then returned sadly.

The film festivals that are slightly famous in the world have Chinese filmmakers, and they have won from time to time.

But the Oscars alone are a vacancy.

So far, no one has won an Oscar.

This is undoubtedly a pain for Chinese filmmakers.

It's also a pity.

"Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and everyone has high hopes for this film to compete for the Oscars.

The film also lived up to expectations and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

It's just that among the shortlists announced by the Oscars, there is one film that is too abrupt.

This year's Chinese films are not only nominated for the Oscars, but also "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

The abrupt appearance of this film made many people not react for a while. Then I remembered, isn't this the martial arts film that Zhang Pu and Zhang Ke co-filmed?

After the filming started, the second male lead was included in the list of bad artists and had to change roles.

The movie that invested more than 200 million yuan and was thought by countless people to lose money.

The movie in which Zhou Chaohua was willing to play a supporting role.

The ......

When the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" started, it was ridiculed a lot.

Many people say that Zhang Ke is on Zhang Pu's thief ship, and he will encounter "Waterloo". "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will also be his first film to lose money, and it is an indelible black spot in his career history.

The investment cost of this film came out, and countless people said that Zhang Pu and Oriental DreamWorks were crazy, Huaying was also crazy, and Zhang Ke also followed the trend.

But now I suddenly found out that they were crazy there!

This film is simply explosive!

Regardless of the box office, these Oscar nominations alone are not too much to invest.

The Oscar shortlist was announced, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won nine nominations: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Cut, Best Art Direction, and Best Film Song.

This is definitely a bright and blind nomination.

Not to mention that the entire film circle in China was stunned, and the entire Chinese entertainment industry was stunned.

Perhaps, the whole of China is a little confused.

Filmmakers all over the world are in disbelief.

When did Huaxia movies become so powerful?

Is it crazy that the Oscars give so many nominations to a Chinese movie?

"Damn, it's against the sky!"

Xu Jiadong was the first to come back to his senses and said with some shock.

Zhang Pu was also a little stunned at this time.

It was definitely not what he expected.

This nomination is just one less Best Costume Design than the original film.

As for whether you can win the prize or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

With such an amazing nomination, it almost became the film with the most Oscar nominations this year.

The box office of this film is estimated to be stable.

Zhang Pu was about to say something when the phone rang.

The call was made by Zhang Ke.

Jiang Xingwen calmed down his excitement and was about to say a few words, when his call came.

The call came from Han Shan.

Zhang Ke was very excited at this time, and Han Shan was no better.

At the beginning, he made the decision to invest in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but he was still under a lot of pressure. Especially after the filming of the film started and the investment cost was exposed, more and more people sang about it.

Now, the film has not yet been released, but just by virtue of the Oscar nomination list, it has completely turned over.

This film, even if it is a loss, for him, it is worth it.

Because this is the most intense stroke of his career.

Money is a fart, if it can make up for the regrets of Chinese filmmakers, then it is an achievement.

What's more, will this film lose money?

Not to mention how the foreign box office is, with the attraction of being shortlisted for nine Oscars, the domestic box office will not be bad.

Moreover, directed by Zhang Ke, written by Zhang Pu, starring Li Zhen, Zhou Chaohua, Chen Han, Xiao Xue and others, such a luxurious lineup and strong box office appeal are unimaginable.

If it weren't for a martial arts film and not being favored by the market, this lineup alone would be enough to pay off.

Some people are happy, and naturally people are depressed.

"What's wrong with you?"

Cai Ya looked at Jiang Yun sulking there and asked curiously.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was nominated for nine Oscars. Jiang Yun snorted twice and said.

"Isn't that good? The Chinese filmmakers finally raised their eyebrows. Cai Ya said, "What, I'm afraid that Lao Zhang will get scared in front of you?"

"Zhang Pu's bastard boy actually gave this script to Zhang Ke's old guy. Jiang Yun said, "After I got the news, why didn't I think about grabbing it!"

"The script is the same, the director is different, will the things filmed be the same?" Cai Ya pouted.

"Am I not as good as that old fellow?" Jiang Yun said, obviously a little unconvinced.

""Parasite" may not have no chance!" Cai Ya said with a smile, "You think, if you win the grand prize in Cannes this year and the Oscar next year, Lao Zhang will be a little shorter in front of you." ”

Jiang Yun sighed.

Oscar is so easy. How many self-confident people have collapsed at the Oscars.

Not to mention the Oscars, he doesn't know whether the film "Parasite" can show its face at Cannes.

"No, I have to talk to that kid Zhang Pu!" Jiang Yun said, "If there is a good script in the future, it can't be a cheap outsider." ”

Zhang Ke has also taught Zhang Pu a lot, is he an outsider?

Personally, maybe not.

But from the company's point of view, it's really an outsider.

However, the copyright of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is in the hands of Zhang Pu, although the post-production is not in Oriental DreamWorks, but Oriental DreamWorks is the largest investor.

This film is also branded with Oriental DreamWorks.

"If you go to him now, it's very likely that you'll bump into Lao Zhang. Cai Ya said with a smile.

When Jiang Yun heard this, his footsteps paused.

At this time, the last thing he wanted was to bump into Zhang Ke.

Immediately, Jiang Yun took out the phone and turned it off without hesitation.

He remembered that when "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes award, he called Zhang Ke, but he failed to do so.

Zhang Ke didn't go to Zhang Pu, but just called him.

He needed to calm down at this point.

Just nominating, not winning!

Zhang Ke kept calming himself down, he didn't want to be happy and sad.

Calm down!

I've set a record.

Zhang Ke's efforts were in vain, and then he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call his old friend to tell him how he was feeling at this time.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off......"

Zhang Ke listened to the voice on the phone, a little confused, and then smiled dumbly.

This old boy reacts so fast!

Do you think this will stump me?

Zhang Ke immediately made a call to Cai Ya.

Cai Ya saw Zhang Ke's call and immediately smiled.

"Let that old guy answer the phone!"

Zhang Ke said straight to the point.

"He said he wasn't there!" Cai Ya looked at Jiang Yun and said with a smile.

"You!"

Jiang Yun pointed at Cai Ya, then took the phone, and said, "Wait until you win the award, and then give it to me." It's just a nomination, and it doesn't necessarily win an award, not to mention that out of nine nominations, my student has won three of each, and you are embarrassed to get it, so what qualifications do you have to get it with me?"

After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Ke to speak.

Zhang Ke was a little depressed at this time, and his excitement was much lighter.

Hearing Jiang Yun say that, he suddenly found that of the nine nominations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Pu really won three by himself.

Best Screenplay, Best Score, and Best Movie Song. Although the song is not sung by Zhang Pu, he is the lyricist and composer, and he is also the one who is shortlisted!

One person has won three Oscar nominations, which is unprecedented!

Don't say that there is no one here in China, I'm afraid there is no one in Hollywood.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was shortlisted for nine Oscar awards and instantly became the hottest topic in China. As for "Farewell My Concubine" being shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, no one paid attention to it.

Relatively speaking, there is no explosion at all.

Among this topic, Zhang Pu became the focus with three nominations.

Even Zhang Ke, the director, is beyond reach.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has also entered the eyes of all domestic fans, and even many foreign fans have begun to pay attention to this film.

What kind of film is it that is favored by the Oscars?

"Director Zhang, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has won nine Oscar nominations, and you personally won three, how do you feel about this?"

is just a list of nominees, the film has exploded before it is released, and the people involved have also become the focus of the media.

Zhang Pu was naturally asked about this question by the media.

"A little surprised!" Zhang Pu said, "Well, I'm also a little excited." ”

"Then how many little golden men do you think this film can bring back?"

The reporter then asked.

"I hope you don't go home empty-handed!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Nine awards, empty-handed, that face is a little ugly.

As for how many you can take, who knows!

"What if you go home empty-handed? Will you make a film yourself to compete for the Oscars?" the reporter then asked.

"If you return with a vacuum, then your name as 'Crow's Beak' will be known throughout the country. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "It is estimated that fans all over the country have the heart to bury you." ”

"As for making your own film to compete for the Oscars? Zhang Pu pouted and said, "I don't think I have the level of Director Zhang Ke." He can't do it, so why should I?"

"When will "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" meet fans across the country?" asked another reporter.

This issue is also a concern for many fans.

"The schedule of this film has not been decided!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "However, a kung fu film "Jingwu Hero" written by me, directed by Yuan Hong, and invested and produced by Oriental DreamWorks will be released soon. I don't think this film will disappoint you. ”

Zhang Pu saw the stitches and directly implanted the advertisement.

"Jingwu Heroes" has been set for early April, and the publicity has also been launched.

It's just that this kind of film with a small investment will naturally not invest too much in publicity and distribution costs.

And the biggest buying point of this film is probably written by Zhang Pu and directed by Yuan Hong.

As for the cast...... Don't mention it. None of them have the slightest box office appeal.
