Chapter 301: Should I Find a Place to Cry

The Mummy" was a box office hit, and Zhang Pu also knew about it before.

Ask him how he feels?

Of course, it's not cool.

Lesson me!

Zhang Pu has become much more cautious in the script.

"The Mummy" was a big hit, and he came to the door, and there were more Hollywood companies that wanted the script about Egyptian mummies in his hands.

However, Zhang Pu did not plan to sell.

It's time to sell Sean Sommers.

He didn't plan to shoot either, at least not yet.

It is an indisputable fact that the value of filming has plummeted.

What's more, he has no shortage of scripts.

Why do you want to stumble on this script?

Of course, Orange Entertainment also came to the door and even made some concessions in terms of interests.

"The Mummy" wants to be released in China, and the crux is obviously in Zhang Pu's hands.

How could they sit idly by and watch the film not be released in China.

It's just that the results speak for themselves.

The lawsuit between Zhang Pu and Sean Sommers has not yet been resolved, so there is naturally no possibility of this film being released.

If you have an opinion, go to Sean Sommers.

Orange Entertainment is just a try, and I probably didn't think Zhang Pu would agree.

After all, the relationship between the two families is well known.

The overseas income of "The Mummy", although Orange Entertainment only took a small head, the loss was not as big as imagined.

Of course, the loss is not so big, that is from the perspective of film investment. But if other impacts are counted, the loss of Orange Entertainment is not small.

As for whether they will seek compensation from Sean Sommers, it is none of Zhang's business.

Of course, he hoped so.

"Asked about "The Mummy" again?" Jiang Xingwen asked Zhang Pu.

He didn't expect this film to be so amazing at the global box office.

If he had known, he would definitely not have reacted like that when he learned that he was cut off by Orange Entertainment.

Even if you suffer a little loss, you have to promote a cooperation with Sean Sommos.

Now, Zhang Pu has indeed used this film to pit Orange Entertainment.

But his own loss may not be smaller than that of Orange Entertainment.

Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.

It may even be possible to kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000 yourself.

"Expected. Zhang Pu said lightly.

The box office of "The Mummy" was transmitted back to China, and it also caused a lot of topics.

When it comes to this film, the first thing that comes to mind in China is probably Zhang Pu's accusation of plagiarism from his director.

Now that the topic is back up, how can the media not ask about him?

"The Golden Dragon Award shortlist should be announced soon. Jiang Xingwen saw that Zhang Pu didn't want to mention more, so he changed the topic and said, "I'm afraid this year's Golden Dragon Award is a civil war in Oriental Dreamworks." ”

"It's not that other film and television companies don't have good films. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Maybe, but with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Parasite", I'm afraid there is no one who can fight. Jiang Xingwen said.

The two films "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Parasite" are too violent.

One was shortlisted for nine Oscars, and the other won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for a second time.

Last year, there were indeed a lot of good films in China, but if you want to compete with these two films, I'm afraid it's really a little worse.

The Golden Dragon Award for Best Film will definitely be born among these two films.

As for which one?

That's hard to say.

And this year's Golden Dragon Award for Best Director will only be one of Zhang Ke and Jiang Yun, as for the others, they are just running along.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Parasite" may not win all the awards of this year's Golden Dragon Awards, but there is definitely a sweeping trend, and there is a possibility of sweeping.

At least, the heavyweight awards can't escape the "claws" of these two films.

""Looking for the Dragon" also applied for this year's Golden Dragon Award, have you considered my feelings like this?" Zhang Pu smiled bitterly and said.

Is "Looking for the Dragon" compared to the two films?

Apparently not!

Of course, after getting a few nominations, Zhang Pu is still confident.

Not to mention anything else, the award for best visual effects, in Zhang Pu's opinion, should not have much suspense.

As for the rest... Don't mention it.

"Do you still care about the Golden Dragon Award?" Jiang Xingwen pouted.

Zhang Pu is not keen on the Golden Dragon Award, which is known to the whole circle.

Of course, Zhang Pu never admitted this.

Regardless of whether he is keen on awards or not, he is a frequent visitor to the Golden Dragon Award.

Every year there is something to be gained.

Today, he is also the filmmaker who has won the most Golden Dragon Awards.

Even if he debuted within a few years.

"Who said I don't care?" Zhang Pu pouted, "I still want to win the best director." ”

I never had a chance to win the awards I wanted, but I won a bunch of awards that I didn't care about.

This is inevitably a bit ironic for Zhang Pu.

Jiang Xingwen smiled and said, "Do you think "Parasite" will be shortlisted for several Oscars?"

"Who knows?" Zhang Pu said, shaking his head.

The original version of "Parasite" seems to have not only been shortlisted, but also won several awards.

But in this world, who dares to guarantee it?

The celebration banquet of "Looking for the Dragon" did not cause much topic.

When the film broke two billion, it was already held once.

"Thai Embarrassment" continues to be the single-day box office champion.

After the 15th Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival stalls are not hot. The film's single-day box office also dropped sharply.

However, at this time, "Thai Embarrassment" has exceeded 1.5 billion.

If there is no impact of explosive new films, it is estimated that the total box office of 170 or 800 million is not impossible.

Another acclaimed and acclaimed film from Oriental DreamWorks became the winner of the Spring Festival file.

Produced by the East Factory, it must be a high-quality product.

This was mentioned again and recognized by more people.

People in the circle naturally don't want to admit it, but when the shortlist of the Golden Dragon Awards was announced, the entire film industry fell silent.

And the fans blew up.

As Jiang Xingwen said, this year's Golden Dragon Award is the civil war of Oriental DreamWorks.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was shortlisted for 14 awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Cut, Best Cinematography, Best Film Song, Best Score, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Action Direction.

This also set a record for the most awards for a film.

"Parasite" is not as nominated for as many awards as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but there are also many, and they are all heavyweight awards.

Eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best New Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Cut, and Best Art Direction.

And Zhang Pu's "Looking for the Dragon" is a few points worse than it.

There are four awards: Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Action Design.

In addition, "Jingwu Heroes" was also shortlisted for Best Action Design.

Four films from Oriental DreamWorks were shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award, including three for Best Director, three for Best Screenplay, and three for Best Action Design.

This shortlisted award can be described as blinding the eyes of countless people.

This year's Golden Dragon Awards is like a solo show at Oriental DreamWorks.

The many awards shortlisted are still very high.

Especially the best film, the best director, in the eyes of everyone, other films are basically soy sauce.

Of course, the best screenplay, as well as the best action design, I'm afraid there is no suspense.

Five films were shortlisted for Best Screenplay, and Zhang Pu alone accounted for three.

In fact, many times the shortlisted films for this award are four films.

It is estimated that the jury felt that out of the four films, Zhang Pu alone accounted for three, which looked too conspicuous, so he added another one.

"Shouldn't I find a place to cry?"

The shortlist of the Golden Dragon Award was announced, and Lin Mu posted a Weibo on Weibo.

"Thai Embarrassment" has now exceeded 1.6 billion, and it is likely to break into the top three of the domestic total box office list.

At this time, his dynamics naturally attracted much attention.

His meager first puzzled many people.

"Thai Embarrassment" has become the biggest winner of the Spring Festival, and the box office has gone to 1.7 billion.

You still want to cry, how can you make the film released at the same time as you embarrassed!

However, it didn't take long for someone to react.

Last year, among the films released by Oriental DreamWorks, only "The Richest Man in Xihong City" directed by him was not shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award.

"You!"

Jiang Xingwen looked at Lin Mu with a smile, but he didn't know what to say.

Lin Mu had a good personal relationship with him, and he also brought it to his Oriental Dream Factory.

"After reading the comments of netizens, do you want to cry even more?" Jiang Xingwen said.

As soon as Lin Mu's meager came out, the most comments under him were ridiculed that it was not the time to cry, but that he should review and review first.

Oriental DreamWorks released five films last year, and the film he directed didn't win an award, shouldn't it be reviewed?

"Although there are many people who ask me to review, there are also many people who ask Director Zhang for mental damages. Lin Mu said with a smile.

He made a meager hair, but he teased himself.

Of course, he said this better than anyone else.

As for the Internet, let him review it is mostly ridiculous, and there is no malicious intent.

Comedies are not favored by awards in the first place.

"What, you want to hit the awards in your next film?" Jiang Xingwen said.

"It's better to have a double harvest of box office awards. Lin Mu said with a smile.

Art films are easy to win awards, but comedies are hard.

Lin Mu naturally knows this.

A good reputation does not mean that you will be able to win the prize.

"Don't want to make comedies?" Jiang Xingwen said, "Isn't the money fragrant?"

The director has a box office commission.

The higher the box office of the film, the more they will naturally get.

"That's why I said it was a double harvest at the box office!" Lin Mu said.

If he had chosen one of the two, he would have chosen the award now.

He is not short of money and awards.

When Jiang Xingwen heard this, he was silent.

Is Lin Mu ready to transform?

In terms of personal relationships, he naturally supports Lin Mu, but from the company's point of view, it is completely different.

"Don't tell me you don't have a script like this. Lin Mu said, "Director Zhang's script has been robbed a lot by you." ”

"How is the box office, whether you can win the award, who dares to guarantee it!" Jiang Xingwen said, "I have a book on the theme of realist criticism, the style of the first half is absurd with black humor, and the second half is realistic and heavy." Would you like to take a look?"

"Director Zhang's script?" Lin Mu asked with a smile, seeing Jiang Xingwen nodding, he immediately said, "Then why don't you hurry up and take it out for me to see." ”

Jiang Xingwen shook his head, then found the script and handed it over.

"I'm not the God of Medicine?"

When Lin Mu saw the title, he was immediately a little interested.
