In the small screening room of the Beverly Hills Club, the screening of "Heroes" is still going on.

Like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", due to the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, "Hero" does not have English dubbing, but English subtitles as standard.

Unlike on the other side of the Pacific, people here are very unaccustomed to subtitles.

Moreover, many lines are translated into English, which cannot express the meaning of the original version at all.

The difference between "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is really too great.

The script for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was first written in English to ensure its Western-style core, and then translated into Chinese.

When writing the script of "Hero", of course, the issue of English translation was not considered first.

"If a person has no name, he can concentrate on sword training!"

"A person's suffering, compared with the rest of the world, is no longer pain. ”

Frankly speaking, the lines in this film are really well written.

And the film itself is also very distinctive, and the beautiful picture is very attractive.

The fight full of oriental artistic conception in the film is very feeling, giving full play to the advantages of light and shadow, as well as the advantages of color.

It can be said that many of the pictures in "Hero" express endless poetry.

Compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", this film is more suitable for oriental audiences.

How many Oriental viewers did the former watch sleep?

It's just that I don't know how many North American audiences who don't know about oriental movies will regard this film as a super magic film.

After all, in terms of the content of the film alone, these swordsmen are much more powerful than the members of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Gandalf, who sold a sword in one hand and a staff of wisdom in the other, knelt when he saw it.

This is a serious magic blockbuster.

In the face of the publicity of ordinary fans, Embassy Pictures also played the banner of a magical masterpiece early.

After the pull-out meeting, David Villa of Embassy Pictures beckoned the guests to move to a nearby ballroom, followed by a cocktail reception.

In this so-called pull-film meeting, the screening is the situation, and the relationship is the reality.

will not engage in public relations to pull relations, and how many Oscars have also flown up.

"I didn't expect that. ”

Keylor Navas of Lionsgate also accepted the invitation and said to Ronan, "You've got another oriental magic movie." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "There's no way, "City of God" can't compete with you, so you can only find another way." ”

"It's more magical than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Navas said. He asked tentatively, "Your goal is also the best foreign language film?"

The pull-piece meeting was going on, and Ronan didn't need to deny it, saying, "There are considerations in this regard." ”

"Lionsgate is also pushing City of God to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film," Navas said. ”

"You have an advantage in the subject matter. Ronan said casually: "It's good that we can get a nomination." ”

Navas was very wary of Ronan and deliberately said: "I hope we can compete healthily." ”

Ronan said: "I've always been a person who has always been about fair play. ”

Connie, who followed Ronan, was silent, huh...... My boss really likes fair play.

The atmosphere at the reception was very warm, Director Zhang, accompanied by a translator and a public relations staff, kept greeting people, and he didn't turn around half a circle, but he only felt one word - tired!

Not only the body is tired, but the heart is even more tired!

If this is put in China, in Asia, even in Cannes, he can use this?

But the distribution company and the public relations staff said that if they want to win the Oscar, this is only the basics, and there are more troublesome things to come.

Director Zhang looked back and thought about it, in China, what film awards are not available?

Challenge! Yes, he needs to be challenging!

As long as there are challenges, he can maintain a vigorous creative life.

Once there is nothing to challenge, the whole person will slack off.

There are quite a lot of Chinese who came to the scene today, but all Chinese who are a little famous in Hollywood have received invitations from Ronan, such as James Wong, Ang Lee and Lucy Liu.

In addition, people who are not Chinese are also screened, and Ronan will definitely not let those Hollywood rightists come over to add to the blockage.

Ronan has been the most Chinese-friendly producer in the circle over the years, on the one hand, due to his special experience, and on the other hand, it is also because of the plane tree that can attract the Golden Phoenix.

There are a lot of capable Chinese Americans in Hollywood.

After Navas left, Ronan saw Ang Lee chatting with Director Zhang and walking over to him.

"Good evening, Ronan. Ang Lee took the initiative to say hello.

Ronan smiled and shook his hand, "Long time no see, Lee." ”

Ang Lee is also familiar with Ronan, and asked directly: "This film is going to be the best foreign language film?"

Ronan whispered, "The goal is to nominate people." ”

Ang Lee nodded: "With the current situation in Hollywood, it is difficult for pure oriental films to win awards." ”

This is an objective reality, Ronan of course understands, and said, "Yes, so I can get a nomination." ”

He changed the subject and asked, "Is Hulk finished?"

"Not yet, but soon. Li An looked a little tired: "There is only some finishing work left in post-production." ”

"This is your first commercial blockbuster, don't forget to let me know when it premieres," Ronan said. ”

"No problem. Li An responded.

Showing up in front of Ronan, Ang Lee responded to the invitation of Relativity Entertainment and quickly left.

Look at Ang Lee, and then look at Director Zhang, Ronan knows very well that in terms of Oscars alone, Ang Lee's advantages are not comparable to Director Zhang.

Ang Lee has long been Westernized, and has settled in the United States all the year round, in addition to the Westernization of ideas, what is even more very Westernized is the network of interpersonal relationships.

Take the Oscar public relations of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as an example, Ang Lee can have breakfast with the old judges of the Oscars in the morning, visit famous film critics in the morning, call and canvass for votes at noon to Oscar members and friends who have worked with him, and be interviewed by media reporters in the afternoon.

These are the networks of relationships that Ang Lee has woven during his ten years in Hollywood.

Ronan is thinking about how to deal with his own side after the release of "The Incredible Hulk" next year.

On the one hand, there is the issue of Hulk's film and television copyright, and on the other hand, it is the director Ang Lee.

Being able to get back the rights to the Hulk from Universal Pictures is undoubtedly the most ideal outcome, provided that "The Incredible Hulk" is hard enough.

Ang Lee's future value is very large, the film adaptation rights are already in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, if "Hulk" really wants to hit the streets, there are not many options left for Ang Lee.

For a director in the United States or other Western countries whose reputation and status are similar to Ang Lee, a movie, even if it is a first-line big production, will definitely have an impact on the streets, but it will not face near-desperate difficulties.

But for Chinese directors, this problem is not ordinarily big.

Ronan saw Alan Horn from Warner Bros. Pictures and went over to say hello, Alan Horn didn't come alone tonight, and there was a girl next to him who looked sixteen or seventeen years old.

Considering Alan Horn's identity and the public being right now, this can't be his little lover.

"Kotty, this is Ronan, the boss of Relativity Entertainment. Alan Horn took the initiative to introduce, "Ronan, this is Ketty, my daughter. ”

Ronan smiled and nodded, "Good evening, Miss Horn." ”

"Just call me Kotty. Kotty Horn smiled at a pair of bunny teeth and gestured to show a good tutor: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Uncle Anderson." ”

Ronan was a little embarrassed: "I'm not a few years older than you, call me Ronan." ”

Kotti Horn smiled and stood next to Alan Horn and stopped talking.

She was tall, quiet-looking, with the brown hair common to Western women, and a slightly tough face with a hint of a nonchalant smile.

Alan Horn said: "Cody is new to high school and is very interested in acting and writing, and has played a few small roles. Ronan, if you have a suitable character over there, please take care of Kotty. ”

Ronan said: "Alan, you are too polite, this is as it should be, I will definitely inform you if there is a suitable role." ”

With a boss who is the CEO of Warner Bros. Studios, Coti Horn's starting point is well above 99 percent of Hollywood actors.

However, the nieces of top executives of major Hollywood companies rarely become first-tier or even second-tier stars, and a privileged family environment will lead to a lack of motivation to struggle.

In the past, it was not without people with a background like Kotty Horn who broke through in Hollywood, but they took it more as a hobby and purely played tickets.

Kotty Horn smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Anderson. ”

Ronan touched his nose and reminded again: "Call me Ronan." ”

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old American girls, most of them are quite mature, and being called uncle by such a big person will really call people old.

Ronan feels that he is very young in body and should keep his mentality young so that he can have unlimited motivation.

While Roan was chatting with Alan Horn's father and daughter, two Chinese men quietly came to the neighborhood, the older of which was James Wong, who had restarted his collaboration with Shahai Entertainment.

The other was a little younger, short and thin, with a childish face underneath his slightly messy black hair.

"Ronan is busy. James Wong whispered, "We'll wait a little later." ”

The diminutive Asian was a little nervous: "Is a big guy like Ronan Anderson easy to get along with?"

James Huang looked at his companion and knew what he was worried about, and said, "Don't worry. The bosses of Hollywood studios are really looking for a filmmaker who can treat Asian filmmakers equally, and it is estimated that Ronan Anderson is the only one. ”

"That's good, that's good. The diminutive Asian rubbed his hands together to ease the tension in his heart: "I finally came from Australia, and I always wanted to find someone who could treat us equally." ”

James Wong understands this mentality, and he didn't have it in the first place.

Therefore, after an old friend recommended him, he would bring him over to Ronan.

"Don't worry. James Wong added: "Ronan is a person who not only treats Asians equally, but also likes horror movies very much. ”

He saw the father and daughter walk away and pulled the Asian man: "Go, let's go." ”
