Chapter 329: Missing an Award

Zhang Pu wants to make a military action movie!

Did Han Shan persuade him?

No!

He was just a little surprised.

"Why did you suddenly want to shoot this kind of film?" Han Shan asked curiously, "And looking at this script, it seems that the investment is not small." ”

"If it's supported by the military, it's not a big investment. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"This kind of film doesn't do well at the box office, aren't you afraid of losing money?" Han Shan continued.

Zhang Pu wants to shoot, he naturally will not object, and the support that should be given will definitely be supported.

This is true both in public and private.

The personal relationship between the two is already good, and there is also a relationship with Jiang Yun, not to mention that there is still a lot of cooperation between the two companies.

Han Shan asked, but he was just considering whether to participate in this film.

The stakes of this film are not ordinary.

Or that the risk of this film is definitely the most of Zhang Pu's many films.

"Where can I pay if I pay again?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Does Wolf Warrior lose money?

Zhang Pu didn't dare to fully guarantee it.

However, the likelihood of losing money is much lower than the likelihood of making money.

What's more, even if he loses, Zhang Pu can afford to lose. Oriental DreamWorks can afford to lose money.

If it's a real loss......

Well, Zhang Pu didn't believe in losing money.

He also wants to make a second film to break the box office record.

If the first part loses money, then even if he insists on filming the second part, I am afraid that the possibility of creating a miracle will be much reduced.

"Are you rich and capricious?" Han Shan said with a smile, "Yes, who made Oriental DreamWorks have strong funds now?"

"Mr. Han, why do you keep thinking that I will lose money on this film?" Zhang Pu pouted and said.

"Yes!" Han Shan smiled and said, "Since your debut, it seems that you really haven't lost any money." This is true even for screenwriters' films. ”

This made Han Shan have to convince him.

There are so many screenwriters and directors in the circle, and it is estimated that Zhang Pu can do this.

Even the box office of films that are more literary and artistic is extremely amazing.

"How much of this film will be given to other companies?" Han Shan then asked.

Oriental DreamWorks generally does not eat alone, and will take out a part of the investment share to other film and television companies.

Other film and television companies are pulling investment and sharing risks, but Oriental DreamWorks is the opposite.

They want to be a sole proprietor.

"Mr. Han wants to vote?" Zhang Pu asked with a smile.

"You are so confident, Huaying will naturally participate. Han Shan said, "However, Huaying will also be involved in this matter, your film involves the army, so the Military Art Center is indispensable to participate." ”

The Military Art Center is naturally the abbreviation, and its predecessor was the only military film studio in China.

"Hmm. Zhang Pu nodded.

Regarding the investment share, Zhang Pu didn't say anything, and Han Shan didn't have a problem.

There was no need for the two of them to talk about it in person.

The company will have someone to talk to.

How to account for the investment of the three companies, Zhang Pu is difficult to ask.

No matter how you talk about it, Oriental DreamWorks will definitely dominate.

"East Becomes West" is still being screened, and Zhang Pu appears in front of the media from time to time to run for the promotion of the movie.

Who would have thought that his new film is already in preparation.

"Who will the heroine let go?Guo Yunxi?" Jiang Xingwen asked.

Needless to say, the male protagonist must be Zhang Chu.

Jiang Xingwen even suspected that this film was made because of Zhang Chu.

Why does the heroine mention Guo Yunxi, it is nothing more than knowing that she is Zhang Chu's girlfriend.

The boss's future sister-in-law will definitely be taken care of in terms of resources.

She couldn't hold back her aura. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "I want to invite Long Xiaoyun to play the heroine." ”

The original heroine is called Long Xiaoyun, and Zhang Pu changed her name when she wrote the script.

If Long Xiaoyun plays, Zhang Pu doesn't mind changing the character's name back.

"Long Xiaoyun?" Jiang Xingwen nodded and said, "It's right for her to arrive." ”

Needless to say, Long Xiaoyun's acting skills are rare in the circle.

The heroine is the captain of the special forces "Wolf Warrior", a female officer with high intelligence, high emotional intelligence, extraordinary aura, and a different kind of sexiness.

This is a fierce man who can suppress countless thorns.

Guo Yunxi's aura is insufficient, and she looks a little "delicate".

If she plays it, it will be difficult for the image of this character to stand up.

Jiang Xingwen mentioned that it is inevitable to have the intention of probing Zhang Pu's style.

In addition, in addition to Guo Yunxi, Tang Rui and Dong Qin seem to be interested in this film.

The two of them weren't really suitable.

As for the other characters, Jiang Xingwen didn't ask.

The artists under Oriental DreamWorks have big wrists, and other supporting roles are also not looked down upon.

Estimates are also not appropriate.

In addition to Minden, villains almost all need Western actors for many scenes.

Most of the supporting characters are from military backgrounds.

It's impossible for the actors in the company to go to the army for a few months to train for a supporting role.

Well, it seems that Oriental DreamWorks should also consider signing some actors who are suitable for supporting roles.

It is estimated that in addition to the male number one Zhang Chu, there are no artists under Oriental DreamWorks in this film.

The time soon arrived for the Lantern Festival.

"East Becomes West" won the half-month single-day box office champion, and now the cumulative box office has exceeded 1.8 billion.

Two billion seems to be out of suspense.

Zhang Pu is also about to become the first 10 billion director.

It's a pity that he hasn't won a best director so far.

He is also the only one among many top directors who has not won a directing award.

Right!

Zhang Pu is now recognized as a top director in China.

For this, there was controversy before. Now that tens of billions of directors are in sight, who can have any opinions?

Jia Bo's film did not do well at the box office, but he became a top director because his film won enough awards.

Zhang Pu didn't win Best Director, but his films had enough box office.

So why can't he become a top director?

"Do you want to win an award? What director doesn't want to win an award? Of course I want to win an award. ”

Regarding the award, Zhang Pu was naturally asked by media reporters.

The topic of this matter is very hot.

"What can I do if I can't get it?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "However, I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, keep learning, and keep improving, one day, I will get it." ”

"I'm still young, and I'm sure in a few years, I'll get what I want. ”

Why a few more years?

The reporter naturally couldn't help asking, but Zhang Pu just smiled.

He will shoot "Wolf Warrior" next, two films in a row. He doesn't think these two films can win the best director.

As for "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" and "East Becomes West", it is estimated that they will not even be nominated.

Sure enough, as Zhang Pu guessed, "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" was not shortlisted for Best Director.

However, there are still many awards shortlisted for this film.

Best Cinematography, Best Cut, Best Action Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Costume Design, and Best Supporting Actor.

In addition, although "Ip Man" is not shortlisted for many awards, it is heavier.

Zhang Chu was even shortlisted for the Best Actor Award for this film. In addition to this, it was also shortlisted for Best Picture and Best Action Design.

As for "Thai Embarrassment", it is relatively bleak, and it was shortlisted for an award: the Best New Actor Award.

Last year, Oriental DreamWorks released these three films.

Films that have not yet been released can also participate.

The film "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was filmed by Lin Mu who wanted to win the award, but he didn't get it done well in the early and late years, so he naturally couldn't participate.

However, Jiang Yun's "Truman's World" is eligible to participate and participated.

There are a lot of awards for this film.

There were nine nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Cut, and Best Art Direction.

Jiang Yun's film is as fierce as ever!

Oriental DreamWorks released three films last year, but four films were shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award.

This made countless people in the circle shake their heads.

That's too much!

Isn't this a way to live?

On the Internet, the topic of "produced by Dongchang must be a high-quality product" also sounded again.

And "Truman's World" was shortlisted for nine Golden Dragon Awards, which instantly drew the attention of countless people to this film that has not yet been released.

This is another rare movie!

It's just that what many people didn't expect was that "Truman's World" was not only shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award, but also for the Oscars.

Although this time it was only shortlisted for three awards: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay.

But this is also the exciting news that shocks the whole of China.

Chinese-language films have been nominated for the Oscars for three consecutive years.

And Zhang Pu has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay three times with this film.

If you win another prize......

"If you win another award, in football terms, it will be a hat-trick!" Jiang Xingwen said with some sighs.

"Is it possible?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "I feel that there is a great possibility that "Truman's World" will return empty-handed. ”

It's not that he Zhang Pu returned empty-handed.

It's the film "Truman's World" that went home empty-handed.

"Your teacher has to whip you when he hears it. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

If Zhang Pu wins the Oscar for Best Screenplay for three consecutive years, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the entire Hollywood.

Unless "Truman's World" crushes the opponent with an absolute advantage, there is no possibility of winning the award.

Absolute superiority, is it possible?

Apparently impossible.

And if Jiang Yun wins Best Director again, it will be a second Oscar for Best Director.

Therefore, the possibility of Jiang Yun winning the award is also very low.

And what about the best foreign language film?

I'm afraid it's also difficult.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Parasite" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for two consecutive years.

Will it fall on Chinese-language movies this year?

Difficult!

It's not your average difficulty.

There is a high probability that "Truman's World" will return empty-handed. Whether you can win the award or not, factors other than the film are indispensable.

If this film participates in next year's Oscars, it is estimated that it has a better chance of winning the award. Jiang Xingwen said.

"Participate next year? Then the film has to be released first. If he hadn't shown his face at the Oscars first, what do you think the box office of this film would have been in North America?" Zhang Pu said lightly.

Send the Oscars first, and then release them. This is due to the consideration of the North American market.

Jiang Yun won the Oscar for Best Director last year with "Parasite", but he has no box office appeal in the North American market.

"Truman's World" was released directly in the North American market, and it is definitely far better to show its face at the Oscars first.

What's more, who can guarantee that next year's competitors will not be stronger?

Maybe you won't even get a nomination.
