Chapter 273: This is good news
Hollywood values screenwriters, and many people know that.
The Chinese film industry also attaches more and more importance to screenwriters, but compared with Hollywood, it is much worse. The weight of the Oscar for Best Screenplay is naturally not light.
As soon as Zhang Pu wins this award, it will definitely attract the attention of many Hollywood film and television companies.
Of course, an Oscar for Best Screenplay is not enough for many film and television companies to pay much attention to.
But what if you count the bonus of the Chinese film market?
Then Zhang Pu's weight may have to be increased a lot.
Once those Hollywood film and television companies learn about Zhang Pu's box office appeal in China, how can they not pay attention to it?
How could Sean Sommos not understand?
The more Zhang Pu is valued by Hollywood studios, the more trouble he will have.
Zhang Pu's award must have more than that.
It could even affect the release negotiations in North America.
Winning the best screenplay is definitely a surprise for Zhang Pu.
For Chinese filmmakers, the same is naturally true.
There are already countless fans in China cheering.
It's a day to be happy about.
Next, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won Best Foreign Language Film, but missed out on Best Director and Best Picture.
However, this film was shortlisted for nine awards and won five, which has exceeded everyone's expectations.
Although there are some regrets, it is also satisfying.
As for "Farewell My Concubine", it naturally played a wave of soy sauce.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best foreign language film, but "Farewell My Concubine" did not, can you say that the former is better?
Apparently not!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is just more in line with Western tastes.
Zhang Ke didn't get in front of Jiang Yun, if he won the best director, or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best picture, maybe he would be proud.
He probably doesn't think that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is better than "Farewell My Concubine".
Of course, he also knew that if he was in front of Jiang Yun, the old boy would definitely take Zhang Pu out to block the gun.
"My student won two Oscars for Best Golden Man, what qualifications do you have to be in front of me!"
At the end of the Oscar ceremony, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won five awards, of which Zhang Pu alone won two, which instantly detonated Chinese public opinion.
Chinese filmmakers competed for the Oscars, but they returned home repeatedly, but they couldn't get their wish.
Now, he has won five little golden figures at once.
It's a big win.
They are heroes.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not yet been released, but it has been praised by fans.
"What, I'm afraid that China will say that "Farewell My Concubine" is not as good as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and you are not as good as director Zhang Ke?"
Zhang Pu saw that Jiang Yun was a little depressed, and said with a smile.
Will there be such a voice in the country?
There will definitely be, and it is estimated that there will be quite a few.
However, Jiang Yun is not angry because of these "layman's words", but he is depressed and probably indispensable.
"Farewell My Concubine" did not win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did.
This is an indisputable fact.
"It's not your kid's fault!" Jiang Yun said, "I can also shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but it's actually cheap Zhang Ke's old boy?"
Zhang Pu smiled awkwardly.
What do you mean by this? Did you tell him that you think Zhang Ke is more suitable for making this film?
That's probably going to be beaten.
Is Jiang Yun's directing level worse than Zhang Ke?
Definitely not.
No matter how good a director is, not all films are suitable.
Every director has his or her own films that he or she is good at and what he is not good at.
"When will Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon be released?" Jiang Yun then asked.
Naturally, he couldn't really blame Zhang Pu, so he just complained.
"Pick up "Jingwu Heroes", at the end of April and the beginning of May. Zhang Pu said.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the first Chinese-language film to be released simultaneously around the world.
Zhang Pu glanced at Jiang Yun, and guessed in his heart that he, the teacher, would not expect the box office of "Farewell My Concubine" to beat "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", right?
If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed.
There may be a little bit of possibility, but don't think about the global box office.
"Then "Parasite" is estimated to be scheduled for the summer?" Jiang Yun said.
"Not sure!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
The competition in the summer file is fierce, and Zhang Pu's box office competitiveness of this film is difficult to estimate.
When it will be released depends on the market.
Can the box office of "Parasite" be compared to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?
I'm afraid it's also difficult.
However, the two films will meet at the Golden Dragon Awards next year, so it is estimated that ......
Jiang Yun nodded and did not continue the topic.
"When are you going back?" Jiang Yun then asked.
"Ming'er will go back with you. Zhang Pu said.
In addition to the crew of "Farewell My Concubine", most of the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will go back tomorrow.
The crew of "Looking for the Dragon" has gone back ahead of schedule.
Jiang Xingwen still has to stay here for a few days.
The above matters related to the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still need to be dealt with by him.
If it is released simultaneously around the world, there will naturally be more problems involved.
This film adopts a box office share, rather than a direct copyright sale.
This is Zhang Pu's insistence.
Although the price offered by the Hollywood company is very high, much higher than that of "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Pu still insists on box office sharing.
Li Zhen already has a high box office appeal in North America, not to mention that this film has also been shortlisted for nine Oscars.
No matter how you look at this film, the box office will not be bad.
What's more, Zhang Pu also has the original box office as a reference.
The film market is much larger than when the original version was released, so the global box office should not be worse than the original.
The next day, Zhang Pu and others returned to China, and the sun was high.
After more than a day of brewing, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscars of five little golden figures, and Zhang Pu personally won two. This news is almost universally known in the country.
Even last night's news network reported on the matter.
Zhang Pu and his entourage can be regarded as returning with full honor.
Naturally, there are countless media reporters squatting at the airport.
This time, Chinese filmmakers can be regarded as raising their eyebrows.
The Oscars are no longer a pain for Chinese filmmakers.
There are finally Chinese filmmakers on the Oscars.
And Zhang Pu also became popular in Hollywood because of the two little golden figures.
Many media published Zhang Pu's relevant information, which caused great repercussions.
This Chinese filmmaker, who won two Oscars, is only in his twenties, and he is a very high-profile director in Huaxia.
And the cumulative box office of his films ranks among the top of many directors in China.
This is a talented, or a gifted filmmaker.
Genius, in the spotlight everywhere.
In particular, the two Chinese films shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film were written by him.
This has to be amazing.
Zhang Pu is popular in Hollywood, and it is even more popular in China.
It's just that Zhang Pu himself is already very popular in China, so this time the fire is not as abrupt as abroad.
Invisibly, it also added a lot of box office appeal to Zhang Pu's movie.
"Director Zhang, say a few words!"
The airport reporter saw that Zhang Pu didn't seem to have any intention of being interviewed, and the reporter immediately shouted.
There are a lot of them, but if they want to block Zhang Pu and not leave, it is estimated that they can't do it.
There were many staff members accompanying him, and even many people sent by Oriental DreamWorks to pick up the plane also came, and these reporters couldn't get close at all.
"Let's wait a few years for my movie to win the Oscar!"
Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Wait a few years?
Is this self-confidence? or is it not self-confidence?
Zhang Pu did not accept an interview with reporters, and Jiang Yun and others, who returned empty-handed, naturally did not accept further interviews.
At this time, being interviewed by reporters is purely uncomfortable.
Not to mention Jiang Yun, even Zhang Ke and others were not interviewed by reporters.
Of course, everyone knows that the topic of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the Oscars will certainly not dissipate here.
Perhaps, the popularity will fade in a few days, but once the film starts to be promoted, then it will be mentioned again.
Zhang Pu and others did not accept interviews, so they did not leave heat for the promotion of the film later.
The airport is not a place for interviews!
After resting for a long day and adjusting the time difference, Zhang Pu went to the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" the next day.
"Congratulations!"
As soon as he joined the crew, many people said hello to Zhang Pu.
This is indeed something to celebrate.
"Do you think if I make "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", will I have a chance to win the Oscar for Best Cinematography?" Wang Bo said with a smile.
"What level are you, don't you have a little bit of a number?" Zhang Pu pouted directly.
The photographer who won the Oscar for Best Cinematography is Zhang Ke's royal photographer and the top photographer in the circle.
Wang Bo's current level is not bad in China, but there is still a lot of distance from those top photographers.
But if it is put on the international scale, it is estimated that the bubble will not be able to pop up for a while.
He still needs time to grow.
"Is it really good for you to hit people like this?" Wang Bo said with a roll of his eyes.
Look at his look, where is the look of being hit.
"Work hard, boy!" Zhang Pu smiled and patted Wang Bo on the shoulder.
"You don't really look like you've won a grand prize. Chen Huatao said with a smile.
"It's not my movie. When I win the Oscar for Best Director one day, I guess I will have it. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"You wrote the screenplay!" Tang Rui said with a smile.
As soon as Zhang Pu won this award, fans' expectations for "Looking for the Dragon" were much higher.
Best Screenplay is also a very heavy award!
Why isn't Zhang Pu so excited!
"As soon as the news of your Oscar for Best Screenplay came out, the box office of "Jingwu Hero" killed that Hollywood blockbuster and regained the top spot in the single-day box office list. Huang Ye said.
"This is good news. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they laughed.
It seems that it is rumored that Zhang Pu is more interested in the box office, which seems to be true.
Huang Ye still understands him!
is worthy of being a person who has collaborated with Zhang Pu on several films.
At the beginning of the promotion of "Jingwu Hero", it revolved around Zhang Pu's screenwriter, and now Zhang Pu won the Oscar for Best Screenwriter, so he naturally made a profit.
Of course, if the mud of this film can't support the wall, it is estimated that even if it rises, I am afraid it will rise to a limited extent.
Zhang Pu returned to China and did not accept any media interviews, but there were many reports about him.
And he won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, which made his screenwriting film soar.
The box office of "Jingwu Heroes" has risen, and even the price of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has risen.
Zhang Pu's script instantly became a sweet spot, and there are more and more TV series or films that want to invest in his screenplay.
Zhang Pu's screenwriter's fame has risen, so the profits will naturally follow.
Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, and fame in the entertainment industry, then it is advantageous.
Gao Wang is preparing for the TV series "Langya Bang", and Lin Mu is still preparing the movie "Thai Embarrassment", which has attracted a large number of investors.
Zhang Pu didn't pay attention to these, he put all his thoughts on the filming of "Looking for the Dragon".
