Chapter 244: Drunken Ears
The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was established later than the regular Oscar, and was originally intended to promote exchanges and cooperation in world film culture and markets.
However, with the overseas expansion of the American film industry, the local authority of the Oscars has gradually developed into an international consensus, and the recognition of the gold content of the Best Foreign Language Film Award has risen, and it has become a hot world-class film award.
Since the turn of the millennium, China has attached great importance to various windows for exporting cultural soft power to the outside world, so it has never been absent from the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for 18 consecutive years.
Among them, 11 years are "Tangshan Earthquake", 12 years "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", 13 years "Search", and 14 years "1942". The three directors Zhang, Chen, and Feng took turns to fight, but they never received anything, and they didn't even get the nomination.
Find reasons for success, and make excuses for failure. Several of the most powerful directors in the Chinese film industry can't win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, some people think that the strength is not enough, some people think that the story is not good, and some people say that the subject matter is limited .......
"The Three-Body Problem" is a good theme, although the story is about the future, but it reflects all kinds of stupid things that human beings have done in the past, turning over old accounts to revenge new ones, and Our Lady ruining the world .......
There is no doubt about the greatness of the original work, and the key lies in the director's script writing and shooting skills. Once filmed, the box office and awards can only be described as sweeping. The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is not a difficult thing to think about.
The grandeur of the original work of "The Three-Body Problem" is destined to be a blockbuster that combines business and art. is also destined to be a bloody film that will be scolded once it is smashed.
Therefore, when Lu Lin was thinking about "The Three-Body Problem", the first thing he thought about was how to shoot it well, and whether he won the award or not was an afterthought.
"I don't have to win any awards, as long as the reputation and box office are high enough, I'll be satisfied!" Lu Lin said with a smile.
Han Shanping said to everyone: "If you want to say that our domestic directors don't care about awards the most, it is our director Lu Lin and Lu Da!"
The people at the table laughed, but Lu Lin said: "Hey, I can't say that, the main reason is that I shoot commercial blockbusters, and I am not very favored by the expert judges." If you really want to say that there is a prize, you still have to receive it. ”
Everyone laughed again, and Leshi's Zhang Zhao talked about the investment in "The Three-Body Problem" again, but Lu Lin politely refused, saying that the script had not come out yet. Someone mentioned the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" again, but Wu Jing only said that the filming injury was not light, and he had to rest for a few months before he could think about work.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. As the organizer, Lu Lin had to get up and pay tribute to the guests who came to cheer because of his relationship. When it came to the actress's table, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Visiting the "Six Beauties" of "Male Soldier Company", plus Du Xiaorao and Yu Nan, eight people sit at a table.
Reba enthusiastically pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, "Director Lu, sit here and talk to everyone for a while!"
Lu Lin also sat down, said a few polite words, and toasted Jing Yan first. didn't say anything to toast, but everyone knows that because of the box office explosion of "Wolf Warrior", "Police Story 2013" starring Jing Yan became cannon fodder.
However, shopping malls are like battlefields, and there is nothing to say about the schedule collision.
After that, several girls toasted to Lu Lin one after another, Yang Mi and Tang Yan can only be regarded as acquaintances, Ying Bao, Fat Di, and Du Xiaorao are their own employees, and Yu Nan is a cooperative relationship. Only Jing Yan and Tong Lihua are relatively simple friends.
Yaya is still a little sad, and she has known Lu Lin for several years, and the relationship is never far away. And she is under the care of Longlin Pictures, and her development has been good in the past two years.......
"Come, Director Lu, I respect you! I wish you a great success in the future film department and a rising box office!"
Lu Lin saw that her eyes were slightly red, and he avoided Yaya's eyes, and drank the wine in the cup.
Unexpectedly, Yaya poured herself another glass, and came to salute Lu Lin and said: "Director Lu, I wish you to find the person you like as soon as possible, grow old together, and be united forever!"
Lu Lin said thank you and drank the wine in the cup.
Yaya was about to pour wine, but Zhao Liying on the side stopped her and said in a low voice: "Okay, Sister Yaya, you are drunk!"
Tong Lihua was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Liying who stopped her with some anger, and only put down the wine bottle after five or six seconds, smiled at everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a poor drinker, and if I drink a little, I'll lose my temper, and I'll miss it!"
The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, but fortunately, there were Fat Di and Yang Mi to liven up the atmosphere. Lu Lin sat uncomfortably and found an excuse to get up.
He was one of the focal points of the entire banquet hall, and before he could brew any emotions, someone stopped him to toast and set a toast, Lu Lin was also used to it, talking and laughing with the guests, but he was still a little worried about Yaya in his heart.
After a while, I saw Tong Lihua and Ying Bao talking and laughing back hand in hand. Lu Lin smiled slightly helplessly, and put what had just happened behind him.
The celebration banquet is a very official and stylized banquet, which is mainly exchanged, and it is not enjoyable to eat and drink.
After the banquet dispersed, Lu Lin, Wu Jing, and Song Ge changed to another barbecue and prepared a good drink.
Wu Jing, in particular, was obviously a little excited. When he entered the box, he said: "I'll come this time, wait for the next time to go to Moutai, I must not get drunk and not return!"
Song Gehaha laughed: "You, are you going to shoot this tonight?"
Lu Lin smiled: "He was controlled too tightly by his daughter-in-law, and now he finally has an excuse to drink!"
Wu Jing shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "You don't have to say that, tonight is the 20th box office celebration of "Wolf Warrior", and the meal just now is for outsiders." This meal is our own!"
Lu Lin and Song Ge agreed with his statement, but they didn't go to Moutai, so they were really afraid of the white mix of beer, and the three of them drank too much, and they only needed two mentions of beer.
After the skewers and beer were served, Wu Jing poured a full amount for the three of them, raised his glass and said: "To be honest, before the filming of "Wolf Warrior" started, I didn't expect to have today's results. He Zhang Yimu and Feng Xiaogang have not reached the box office of one billion, and I am a child who was born in martial arts, and I have become a great director of two billion, you say that this is ......!"
Hearing this, Song Ge patted Lu Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't say this, this one is much earlier than you!"
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Song Ge's gaze swept over the shoulders of Lu Lin and Wu Jing, and said in a very surprised tone: "Who would have thought that a small martial arts school could give birth to you two great directors, this is to compare Beiying and Chinese opera!"
Lu Lin laughed and said, "There is also a world-renowned kung fu emperor!"
Li Yangzhong didn't attend because he was in a semi-retired state, so he didn't like to be in the spotlight, but he called Lu Lin and Wu Jing to say congratulations.
Wu Jing said: "Hey, if only one day, we brothers could join forces to make an action movie!"
