Chapter 318: Chinese Movies Are Far from the Real Rise
The Oscar shortlist was announced, shaking the global film industry.
The nomination of the Chinese film this time is too amazing.
Or that the nomination of the Chinese director Mu Chen is too amazing.
"The Love of People and Ghosts" is actually not a Chinese movie in a sense.
Even the company that sent this film to the Oscars was not a Chinese film and television company, but a Hollywood film and television company, Dream Pictures.
It's just that this film is a film written, directed and acted by Mu Chen, so Chinese fans subconsciously think that this is also a Chinese movie.
However, aside from the film "Ghost Love", the two Chinese-language films have been shortlisted for many awards, which is still extremely amazing.
Moreover, both films were also shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film.
This also means that this year's Chinese-language film has half a chance to win the Best Foreign Language Film award.
This Oscar is definitely the most dazzling Chinese film.
Mu Chen is undoubtedly the most invited filmmaker.
Aside from the collective award of Best Picture, he personally won one nomination for Best Director, two nominations for Best Screenplay, and two nominations for Best Score.
When a person wins five Oscar nominations, he asks you if you are a cow?
This may not have any suspense to break the record for the most individual award nominations at the same Oscars.
The Oscar shortlist was announced, and countless domestic media reported on it, and some media even reported it directly with the title of "The Rise of Chinese Films".
Of course, it is obvious that it is not only the Chinese media that has reported it, but also many media around the world.
Especially the American media.
Among them, there are many analysis and reports around the "Chinese film threat theory".
The "Chinese film threat theory" appeared as early as when "Avatar" swept the world.
However, the most relevant reports in the North American media still revolve around Mu Chen.
His nominations are so amazing, and those three films are all about him.
Two were directed by him and one was written by him.
This situation has not appeared at the Oscars.
Perhaps, no film festival has ever appeared.
North American fans even directly crowned Mu Chen with the title of "the best filmmaker in history".
Dust cow?
There is no doubt about that.
However, as for whether he is the best filmmaker in history, it is up for debate.
"Director Mu, North American fans call you the best filmmaker in history, how do you feel about this?"
The Oscar shortlist was announced, and Mu Chen instantly became the focus of major media pursuits.
Mu Chen finally failed to avoid those reporters with "great powers".
"The best filmmaker, I dare not be ashamed!" Mu Chen waved his hand and said, "If you praise me as the most handsome filmmaker in history, then I will definitely be very happy." ”
The most handsome filmmaker ever?
Where do you get your confidence!
Mu Chen's appearance is not low, but the most important thing in the entertainment industry is a handsome guy with good looks, Mu Chen doesn't want to say "the most handsome in history", and now it is estimated that he can't afford the title of "the most handsome filmmaker".
At the very least, there are too many people to refute.
What male celebrity's fans don't think their idol is handsome?
Perhaps, the most handsome director still has a little chance.
Of course, those reporters naturally knew that Mu Chen's words were mostly jokes.
"In this year's Oscars, Chinese films have been shortlisted for many awards, among which you and director Zhang Gang were even nominated for Best Director at the same time, so some people say that Chinese films are rising, what do you think about this?"
The reporter then asked.
"The rise of Chinese films?" Mu Chen shook his head and said, "To be precise, Chinese films are on the rise, but there is still a long way to go." ”
How many Oscars have been shortlisted, and Chinese films have risen?
Mu Chen obviously didn't think so.
In his opinion, Chinese films are still far from rising.
"Then Director Mu, when do you think Chinese movies will really rise?"
Another reporter hurriedly asked.
"Wait for countless foreign films to compete for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Mu Chen said with a smile.
Does the Golden Dragon Award have the best foreign language film?
No!
At least not yet.
However, the reporters understood the meaning of Mu Chenhua's language.
Because of several Oscar nominations, Chinese-language films have risen, but at this time, it seems like a joke.
has risen like this, so what is the Hollywood movie that dominates the Oscars all year round?
At this time, many people felt sarcastic.
Everyone is complacent about getting a few nominations, but they have never thought about why Chinese films are going to participate in their film festivals?
And how many Hollywood movies, or how many foreign movies come to participate in the Chinese Golden Dragon Awards?
The Golden Dragon Award is the highest honor for Chinese filmmakers.
But the influence of the Golden Dragon Award is limited to China.
It doesn't have much influence in Asia, and it doesn't have much influence in the world.
How so?
I'm afraid it has a lot to do with the little influence of Chinese films in the past.
Why is the Oscar the most high-profile film award in the world?
It's nothing more than because Hollywood movies have swept the world.
What does it mean when a Hollywood film competes for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language Film?
Does it mean that the Golden Dragon Award has become the most influential film award in the world?
Then, the influence of Chinese films in the world naturally needs not be said.
At that time, Chinese films were on the rise!
At least, in Mu Chen's opinion.
"Director Mu, do you mean that when Chinese films kill Hollywood films and become the most influential films in the world, Chinese films will really rise?"
A reporter said with some excitement.
Is this possible?
No one dared to imagine.
But many years ago, no one would have believed that Chinese films would shine at the Oscars!
And now?
Maybe there is Mu Chen, then everything is possible.
He is a miracle worker, who can be sure that he will not lead the rise of Chinese films?
"I hope that day. ”
Mu Chen smiled, and seemed to have some answers that were not what he asked.
The day he hopes that the influence of Chinese films will surpass that of Hollywood films.
However, he will never put this burden on his shoulders.
"Director Mu, do you have any plans for a new film?" a reporter said.
"My new film?" Mu Chen smiled and said, "My new film is still in post-production!"
After the post-production of "Iron Man" was completed, Mu Chen really didn't have any plans.
He originally planned to shoot "Tomb Raider", but Li Ruoxi's schedule conflicted.
Huarui Pictures co-produced a blockbuster with a top Hollywood company, in which Li Ruoxi played the heroine.
Nowadays, there are more and more domestic film and television companies that make joint ventures with Hollywood.
Hollywood looks at the domestic market.
However, domestic film and television companies want to enter the international market with this.
Once Mu Chen's interview was reported, it was tantamount to pouring cold water on countless people.
At this time, it is just a joke to say that the rise of Chinese films is true.
Mu Chen's words have been recognized by many filmmakers.
Chinese films still have a long way to go before they truly rise.
Chinese films are trying their best to win at the Oscars. But have you ever seen a Hollywood movie to compete in the Golden Dragon Awards?
Hollywood movies coming to the Golden Dragon Awards?
Is this possible?
Who knows!
The Golden Dragon Award Ceremony came as scheduled.
"Why do you feel that you are not in high spirits!" Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen and asked with some doubts.
"It's just that I suddenly feel that those of us who make movies seem to be most concerned about two things. Mu Chen smiled and said.
"What two things?" asked Li Ruoxi.
"Box office and trophies!" Mu Chen said.
"Maybe it's money and honor. Li Ruoxi said with a smile, "Who in this world can escape fame and fortune." ”
"Yes!" Mu Chen nodded, and then stopped continuing the topic.
He just had a sudden feeling.
Is there nothing else for the movie besides the box office and trophies?
"Let's go, it's our turn. Li Ruoxi said.
Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi are definitely the most dazzling stars on the red carpet today.
Even if the outfits of the two are not so eye-catching.
The two walked on the red carpet and instantly attracted the attention of surrounding media reporters. At the same time, I also remembered the sound of shouting.
This shows how popular the two are.
"Director Mu, you have a close relationship with Director Zhang Gang, what are you grateful for competing with him for Best Director this year?"
The host of the outfield asked Mu Chen with a smile.
"It's a lot of pressure!" Mu Chen said, "I don't understand, why Director Zhang didn't put "Truman's World" at next year's Golden Dragon Awards. ”
"Oh?" the host was stunned for a moment and said, "Director Zhang said just now that it was very stressful to face you. ”
"When you say that, I seem to be a lot more relaxed. He is a senior, and I am a junior. There seems to be no shame in the juniors losing to the seniors. But if the seniors lose to the juniors, it won't look good. Well, it should be him who is under pressure. Mu Chen said with a smile, "Perhaps, we both returned empty-handed." The other two shortlisted directors are also very powerful. ”
Mu Chen's predecessors' and juniors' remarks are polite in the eyes of many people.
Nowadays, who among Chinese filmmakers will treat Mu Chen as a junior?
Mu Chen may be young, but his qualifications are no worse than top directors such as Zhang Gang, and they are even much better.
Zhang Gang felt a lot of pressure, not because of any seniors and juniors, but because Mu Chen was too powerful, and he lacked confidence in front of Mu Chen.
"Miss Li Ruoxi, you are nominated for Best Actress, do you feel pressure?"
Li Ruoxi is beside her, so naturally she will not be left out in the cold.
She is now very popular, and she has also been shortlisted for the actress, even if she is standing next to Mu Chen, she is also in the limelight.
Of course, her topic is worse than Mu Chen's.
"Of course there was pressure, the other three actresses who were shortlisted were so good. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.
Who is not good at being shortlisted for Best Actress?
Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi entered the venue, and Ubi walked over with a smile and began to talk non-stop.
is worthy of being a talk show actor.
She was excited beyond words.
It was the first time I walked the red carpet and it was a wonderful feeling.
And that's just the beginning.
It won't be long before she will walk on the Oscar red carpet.
