1226. Top 100 directors

Nie Weier won the best director, and directed the movie "Interstellar" to win the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, and the key is that he won a total of nine trophies at this Saturn Awards, and the news spread back to China, causing great repercussions.

Nie Wei and the others haven't returned to China yet, and the country is already overwhelmingly full of news about them.

The media is naturally full of praise, Nie Wei took his own "Interstellar" to kill the opponent at the Saturn Awards in the United States, this is to win glory for the country, everyone naturally will not pour cold water at this time, even if Nie Wei is not pleasing to the eye on weekdays, at this time they will endure the sour breath and say good things.

After all, this is the trend of the times.

Nine Saturn Award trophies, which not only set a record for Chinese science fiction films to win awards at the Saturn Awards, but also broke the record for the highest number of awards for a single film at the Saturn Awards.

This year's Saturn Awards, "Interstellar" is completely sweeping, not only covering all the awards, but even the more important awards such as Best Young Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Visual Effects are also in the bag, and there are no opponents in the whole process of awards.

For this reason, some media in the United States even lamented that American science fiction films are going to be lonely, and the American science fiction films that have been notified to the world have been swept away by other countries' works one day.

Of course, most of the purpose of these guys to attract attention is to completely ignore the fact that "Interstellar" is actually closer to the style of American science fiction films, and this movie is a Sino-US joint venture, although Huayi and Max Films are both Nie Wei's companies.

They are shouting these words now, hoping to put Nie Wei on the opposite side of Hollywood movies and cause dissatisfaction among some extremists.

It's a pity that such a plan is destined to fail, Nie Wei is not a rookie who has just come out of the oven, and he is not the kind of director without a background, as the actual helmsman of Max Films, which is known as the six major film companies, and the owner of the world's largest theater chain, Nie Wei is Hollywood's energy is very huge, and he is definitely the small group of people who stand at the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, Nie Wei has continued to shoot good works over the years, and his fan base is also very strong, and as soon as the ill-intentioned remarks of those media were released, they were sprayed with blood by fans who like Nie Wei's movies.

And the extremists they expect are not stupid, Nie Wei doesn't have anything to hack America in the movie, and they won't jump out to offend a big man like Nie Wei.

Quarrels also have to choose objects, those stars with obvious black spots are their favorites, people like Nie Wei who are clean and self-conscious, basically have no black spots and a huge background, they are the most reluctant to touch.

And this is only a very small part of the voice, "Interstellar" won a big victory at the Saturn Awards, and most of the media on the American side are praising it.

After all, the quality of the movie is here, and Nie Wei and others deserve to win the award in the eyes of most people.

This is not like a certain actress in Huaxia, and I don't know if it was the judges of the awards ceremony who were brain-dead, or the company's public relations really made a big effort, and the award ceremony was arranged to be the title of actress on the night of the award ceremony, and the result was that it went from blowing on the whole network directly to being black on the whole network, and there were countless black fans overnight.

And this actress is missing the words 'deserved'.

But Nie Wei is different, since "Lone Agent" began to be noticed by fans, "League of Assassins" came to the fore, followed by "The Martian", "Inception" and "Interstellar", the sci-fi trilogy, whether it is word-of-mouth or box office, in recent years, it is definitely the top existence.

Therefore, Nie Wei won the award, and many people said that they deserved it, which is what countless fans are looking forward to, and it is what everyone expects.

And Huaxia Film Magazine also released a list after Nie Wei won the Saturn Award for Best Director, called the Top 100 Film Directors in China.

Nie Wei ranked second, beating Li Yu, Wu Yusen, Wang Jiawei, Cheng Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and other big-name directors in the circle, only under Zhang Yimou.

But such a high ranking still caused dissatisfaction among many people, this group of people is not only Nie Wei's fans, but also many passers-by feel that the list is unfair.

Because of Zhang Yimou, who is ranked above Nie Wei, the reason given by Huaxia Film Magazine is that he directed the Kyoto Olympics in 08 and is highly regarded internationally.

Zhang Yimou's directing the Olympics is indeed a very great achievement, but in the eyes of many people, since this is the selection of film directors, then it should only be about movies, and in terms of movies, Nie Wei has surpassed this senior director in all aspects.

In terms of box office, Zhang Yimou's movies have not been a blockbuster in recent years, with a box office of 260 million for "Three Guns", a box office of 296 million for "The Return", and only 160 million for "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and a box office of 600 million for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

The box office of these movies combined, is not as high as the mainland box office figure of Nie's only "Interstellar".

You must know that Nie Wei is the only film director in China who has a cumulative mainland box office of more than 10 billion, and is also the only director whose mainland box office of a single film has exceeded 5 billion.

In terms of word-of-mouth, Zhang Yimou's early movies have a good reputation, but recent movies have a mixed reputation.

There are both high-quality movies like "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" with a rating of around 8.0, but there are also "inferior" works with a score of less than 5 like "Three Guns Shooting Surprise".

On the other hand, Nie Wei, especially in the past three years, has produced movies with scores above 8.5, especially the sci-fi trilogy, the lowest "The Martian" also has 8.6 on IMDB, and "Inception" and "Interstellar" are as high as 9.1 and 9.0 points, ranking at the forefront of the world's top 250 movies, and are recognized by fans around the world as the top word-of-mouth masterpieces.

Not to mention the final honors.

Nie Wei is the youngest Grand Slam winner of the three major gold awards on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Golden Rooster, and Golden Statue, won three Saturn Award Best Director trophies, and is also the youngest best director at the Oscars.

Of course, Zhang Yimou is not bad, he won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival early, the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Box office, word of mouth, honor, Nie Wei surpassed Zhang Yimou in all three aspects, so Zhang Yimou was ranked above Nie Wei, and many people were unconvinced.

When Nie Wei returned to China, a reporter asked Nie Wei this question.

"Director Zhang has always been my respected predecessor, as early as when I was in school, in the film appreciation class, I listened to the teacher talk about Director Zhang's works more than once, "No One is Missing", "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", "The Red Lantern is High and Strange", etc., Director Zhang has a lot of excellent works worth learning, and Director Zhang's movie "Hero" opened the blockbuster era of Chinese films, which I have experienced. ”

"Including Director Feng, Director Li Yan, Director Wu Yusen, Director Wang Jiawei, etc., I think they are all seniors worth learning from me, in my opinion, this list is not a noun according to achievements, it just tells us that there are so many excellent workers in the Chinese film industry, and we are all making efforts but insignificant contributions to the progress of the Chinese film industry. ”

The reporters around him were convinced, and Nie Wei's answer was not leaky, and his modest appearance made people really think that he was a student.

But when this interview was released, no one on the Internet looked down on him because of Nie Wei's answer, but it was all praise, and even many directors mentioned by Nie Wei in the interview forwarded and commented, either agreeing with Nie Wei's statement or praising Nie Wei's achievements.

After all, everyone carried the sedan chair, and Nie Wei lifted everyone, so everyone naturally had to turn around and lift Nie Wei, which is called courtesy.

The matter of the ranking finally came to an end because of Nie Wei's positive response, and Nie Wei had a homely meal with Zhang Yimou later, which was photographed by the arranged media, and the turmoil of this matter finally came to an end.

In the following period, Nie Wei was not idle, and interviews from various media came one after another.

As a new Oscar for Best Director and won the Saturn Award for Best Director, Nie Wei said to the media 'I want it all', and the result really came true.

At the beginning, the video of the interview had more than 100 million clicks, and a bunch of people were worshipping Nie Wei, praying for good luck, and using Nie Wei as a koi.

The media will naturally not let go of this hot topic, almost every media interviewing Nie Wei will ask about the interview 'I want it all', Nie Wei changed his tricks and answered more than ten times, and he was annoyed to death, but the media was still happy to ask, who let the question be hot, everyone just loves to see Nie Wei pretending to be X, because it is really bull X.

In addition to Nie Wei, after the Saturn Award, Zhang Ziyi was also so busy that she landed on the ground, and the whole world flew.

The endorsement contracts of various top brands flew in front of Zhang Ziyi like snowflakes, making her dazzled, in just one month, the contract amount signed by this woman exceeded nine figures, and the speed of gold absorption made all female stars in the circle feel red.

Once upon a time, everyone grabbed their heads for an international second-tier brand, but now in front of Zhang Ziyi, a bunch of international first-line brands are at her disposal, you say you are not angry, you say that people are jealous or not.

But no matter how popular you are, you can't help it, who made Zhang Ziyi the queen of the Saturn Awards, and she won it twice in a row, the only one among domestic actresses.

In addition to the endorsement contract, Zhang Ziyi also received a mountain of scripts.

are all first-line directors in the circle, and the investment is not less than 100 million yuan, after all, the investment is too small, and you can't even pay Zhang Ziyi's salary.

When filming "Interstellar", Nie Wei gave Zhang Ziyi a salary of 3 million, the currency was US dollars, and it was 20 million in China, but this was a friendship price, and after winning the second Saturn Award for Best Actress, Zhang Ziyi's worth at this moment in Hollywood is at least 5 million US dollars, which is definitely the highest salary for a Chinese actress.

It is even more expensive in China, and some production companies even offered a salary of 100 million, and stated that the price was negotiable, but it was still useless.

Zhang Ziyi is now the kind of priceless in the market, and she can't look down on a bunch of people waving checks, after all, she is not short of money, and the endorsements she received this month alone are hundreds of millions of yuan.

And Empress Zhang has a high vision now, she doesn't want to shoot the works of domestic first-line directors, so she is waiting for Nie Wei's new movie.

Of course, she also wants to rest for a while and get along with her family more, she has been filming movies abroad for the past two years, rarely returning to China, and even her family affection is divided, not to mention that she still has love, Nie Wei is also strange, Zhang Ziyi and Lao Wang, who have gone downhill in the original time and space, got together.

But in this time and space, Zhang Ziyi is simply red and purple, red and hot, even if Lao Wang really becomes 'half of the country', it is several lines behind Zhang Ziyi, but the love between the two has not changed, a few years have passed, not only does it mean to be yellow, but even Zhang Ziyi faintly revealed that they have reached the point of talking about marriage.

In this regard, Nie Wei just wanted to give Lao Wang a thumbs up and praise.

Nie Wei's life has not changed much except for a bunch of media interviews, he doesn't accept endorsements, he doesn't accept scripts, during this time, in addition to accepting media interviews, he is more focused on abroad, he wants to buy a house in the UK and live there for a few months.

After all, although the story of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" takes place in New York, most of the characters in it are from the United Kingdom, which has a lot to do with the fact that Ms. Rowling is British, and Nie Wei wants to go there to experience life.

Shu Chang is also looking forward to this, as Nie Wei's producer, she also has enough reasons to follow Nie Wei to live in the UK.

So for buying a house in the UK, she is much more active than Nie Wei, and she has to show Nie Wei a bunch of pictures of houses every day, and also introduce the surrounding environment of Nie Wei's houses.

Nie Wei doesn't care, he doesn't ask for much, the house is strong enough, the surrounding environment is quiet, and it should not be too far from the city.

It was definitely impossible for Shu Chang to find it according to Nie Wei's requirements, so Nie Wei simply handed over this matter to Shu Chang to do.

Nie Wei, who seemed to be very busy, but was actually idle and bored at home, received a call from Zhou Duoduo.

This girl completely fell into the calculation of the program team, although the program team did not specify who Zhou Duoduo would invite, but Zhou Duoduo heard that after inviting guests to the Wenju banquet, the first thing that came to mind was her brother Nie Wei.

The agent smiled wryly on the side, shouldn't this call be made to his teammates to increase his exposure?

On the other team members' side, the agent had already stood up and shouted to stop, and then educated them well, letting them know that the opportunity was not used like this, but if it was Zhou Duoduo, he really didn't dare to do it, and the director of the program group on the key side was also looking at him with fierce eyes, for fear that he would come out to make trouble.

Of course, the program team is not so 'unkind', the house is big enough, and everyone can invite two or three good friends to the Wenju banquet together.
