Chapter 1635: Part III
When I woke up, it was only 6 o'clock in the morning.
Sister Qingxia is sleeping sweetly, last night she got the coveted Oscar actress award, and she fell asleep very late under the ups and downs of her mood.
Yin Jun restrained the depression in his heart and didn't think about it for the time being.
This morning, after washing up and going to exercise again, the boy sat in front of the garden of the villa with soy milk and buns, and thought about things while eating breakfast.
Last night's failure can't be said to be Yin Jun's lack of hard work.
In addition to the absolute Oscar-winning strength of "Rain Man", the North American branch of Kirin Group threw $30 million out to do public relations for Yin Jun's Oscar Best Director.
turned out to be Yin Jun's return.
So the boy knew that this was still due to the eccentric psychology of the group of old men in the film school.
They don't want to let Asians win the Oscars too easily.
Yin Jun, Tang Shuxuan and Lin Qingxia have hit their respective awards for two consecutive years, why did Lin Qingxia win the award in the end?
It's easy!
In terms of Best Actress or Best Director, which do you think is more important?
It must be that the actress who only represents the level of the actor should be lightweight, and the best director who represents the highest level of directing ability should be focused!
Last night, Yin Jun had already felt it.
The reason why Lin Qingxia was able to win the Oscar is that she has hit twice in a row.
I didn't get the Oscar for Best Director, and the reason was that two consecutive impacts were not enough!
Then let's do it for the third time!
As the saying goes, it's not more than three.
If I don't get an award the third time, then we'll have to talk about it.
I'll let you know how painful it can be to annoy a Hollywood superboss in the face of my endless repression and all kinds of embarrassment!
Thoughts turn.
Yin Jun actually had a plan for a long time.
It's not that he prepared for the Oscar for Best Director before, but the film he plans to shoot again the year after.
But now he didn't get his wish, and Yin Jun could only take out this movie in advance.
Just thinking about it here, Ding Chaoxing outside walked in, "Junshao, Tom Hanks has arrived." ”
"Huh?"
Yin Jun looked at the time, it was only half past eight in the morning.
The person who won the Oscar last night actually got up so early?
Although Yin Jun told him last night that he would come to his house tomorrow and discuss with him about the new play, but at this point in time, he was really diligent enough.
He is truly one of the most dedicated and professional actors in Hollywood.
In his previous life, Yin Jun knew that there are many dedicated and professional actors in Hollywood, but it is rare for two actors like Tom Hanks, two actors, plus countless superstars with box office achievements, to be so dedicated and professional.
"Tell him to go to the study, I'll clean up and go over!" Yin Jun said.
"Yes. ”
……
After a while, Yin Jun, who had changed into casual clothes, saw Tom Hanks in the study.
Tom Hanks was dressed in a crisp suit, he didn't have much of a tired look on his face, and apparently he hadn't had any alcohol last night.
However, the excitement on his face did not subside.
This is a normal person!
If his face is as plain as Yin Jun, it will be a little incomprehensible.
"Jun Shao!"
Tom Hanks saw him and hurriedly said hello, "How did you rest last night?"
"Not bad. Yin Jun shrugged and said, "What can I do if I'm not reconciled? The world will still turn as usual, and the work will continue to be done!"
"If only you could think of it that way. Tom Hanks laughed, "I've read a few newspapers today, and they're all for you!"
Yin Jun smiled.
These newspapers don't have a good intention.
The more they boast that Yin Jun deserves the Oscar for Best Director, the more they create an atmosphere of opposition between Yin Jun and the film school.
They can't wait for Yin Jun and the film academy to fight directly, it's best to play the dog's brain, this is called pleasure, and this is newsworthy.
If Yin Jun is fooled, I dare not say that there will be no hope for the best director in the future, but at least he will have to toss for many years before he can get back on track.
Tom Hanks definitely didn't think about it so much at this time, so he was really upset for Yin Jun.
It would have been.
The year before last, Tom Hanks watched "The Shawshank Redemption", and was deeply impressed, and felt that Yin Jun was definitely the premier director.
That's why he promised "Rain Man" last year that he was so happy, and he was so resolute to go to a mental hospital to experience it.
The facts proved that he was right, and Yin Jun used this movie to send him to the throne of the Oscar.
But at the same time, it is a pity that Yin Jun himself missed the Oscar for Best Director for the second year in a row.
In Tom Hanks's opinion, this is absolutely unfair.
Because he is Yin Jun's competitor, he has also watched "Makeup Artist", and thinks that although it is also a little interesting, compared to the wonderful narrative and expression of "Rain Man", and compared to the true feelings of the world that "Rain Man" wants to convey, it is completely a two-grade movie.
It simply can't be compared!
"Rain Man" lost to such a movie, it is simply a great sadness for the Oscars!
When he came to Yin Jun's house today, he was relieved to see that Yin Jun was in good condition and did not appear to be affected much.
He was afraid that Yin Jun would complain about the Oscars from now on, and he was unwilling to make films in the United States anymore, which was the loss of all those who love movies.
"I'm inviting you over today because I have a new play to tell you about. After a pause, Yin Jun said to Tom Hanks, "I wonder if you're going to rest for a while?"
"No, no. Tom Hanks shook his hand again and again, "I'm so young, what are I resting on? With your movie, I will definitely play it, even if it's a supporting role!"
"You're not a supporting character, you're my favorite protagonist. Yin Jun smiled.
But the next moment, he said again, "But the protagonist this time is even more difficult than the last time in "Rain Man", are you mentally prepared?"
"Still more difficult?" Tom Hanks was subconsciously startled, and then his face showed joy, "Junshao, are you preparing to hit the Oscars for the third time?
When it comes to "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks only feels that his whole body is trembling.
At the beginning, Yin Jun used "Forrest Gump" to get Tom Hanks to sign a contract for 20 movies in 30 years.
Tom Hanks is crazy about loving this book and loving the character Forrest Gump.
And even in today's newspapers, those critics also frequently mention "Forrest Gump".
Everyone knows that as long as Yin Jun comes up with "Forrest Gump", he will definitely be favored by the Oscars.
If "Forrest Gump" can't win Yin Jun the Oscar for Best Director, then the authority of the Oscars will be greatly reduced and spurned by the people - what more story can represent the American spirit than "Forrest Gump"?
Therefore, Yin Jun wants to break the prejudice of the Oscars, and "Forrest Gump" is the best weapon.
In other words, the judges of the Oscars are waiting for Yin Jun to come up with "Forrest Gump", maybe it's okay!
"It's not Forrest Gump. Yin Jun shook his head unexpectedly, "Its name is 'The Pianist'." ”
As he spoke, Yin Jun picked up a book from the table, along with a manuscript, and handed it to Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks saw the book that was pressed against the manuscript first.
It's called The Pianist.
The book is very new, as if it had just come out of the printing press.
The following manuscript is also "The Pianist".
I think this is the original book and adapted script.
But Tom Hanks also noticed that in the author column, it was not "Jun", but "Władysław Schippelman"
"Mr. Schippelmann is a famous Polish pianist, and this is a book he wrote based on his experiences during World War II. Yin Jun said at this time, "But due to various reasons, it does not appear on the bookshelves in Europe and the United States." It took me a lot of effort and time to convince him to publish the book in the United States, and to sell me the rights to the film adaptation. ”
Tom Hanks nodded, "The book...... Just published?"
"It will be on the shelves in a few days. Yin Jun smiled, "You are the first batch of readers, read it carefully, and then read the script." ”
"Good!"
Tom Hanks readily agreed, "But Junshao, what you said is more difficult than "Rain Man", what do you mean exactly?"
Yin Jun said, "This pianist lives in horror and struggles to maintain his life, so in the later stages of filming, you need to lose weight significantly. ”
"Lose weight?"
Tom Hanks looked at himself, "I'm 187 pounds now, how much do I need to lose it?"
187 pounds is about 85 kilograms.
With Tom Hanks' height of 183 cm, this weight is very normal.
But if you want to star in "The Pianist", it is definitely not enough.
Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "If it can reach 130 pounds, it may be about the same...... But if you can get it down to 120 pounds, then maybe you can get another little gold man. ”
Tom Hanks's breathing tightened violently.
130 pounds is about 119 pounds.
120 pounds, but only about 110 pounds.
For his height, 110 pounds must be too thin, and it must be skinny.
But the temptation of another Oscar actor made him unable to control himself at all.
Since Yin Jun said so, he must have great confidence.
After all, this is also his third high-quality film that has hit the Oscars.
If I miss this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future!
After thinking for a moment, Tom Hanks solemnly said, "I'll give it a try!"
"Good!"
Yin Jun smiled, and he knew that Tom Hanks would rise to the challenge.
The satisfied young man then advised: "By the way, let's go and practice the piano for a few months now, which is also one of the basic skills." ”
"I understand. ”
Tom Hanks smiled slightly, "I've practiced the piano, but I'm not so unfamiliar. Don't worry, I'll be able to figure out the role well!"
"If you have this perseverance, you will naturally succeed. Yin Jun was very satisfied with his attitude, "Then let's work together to hit the Oscars again!"
"I believe that you will succeed this time!"
Tom Hanks also made a small ass at this time.
Yin Jun laughed.
The movie "The Pianist" was originally the pinnacle of director Roman Polanski, and it was also the pinnacle of Adrian Brody, a second-rate movie star.
It tells the story of the Jews who were conservative, humiliated, and struggling in that era.
Most of the old men in the film school are Jews, and they also like to see movies that expose the ugliness and sympathize with their own people's suffering.
If this doesn't impress them, I'm afraid Yin Jun can really only come up with "Forrest Gump".
But Yin Jun has absolute confidence, this time, "The Pianist" will definitely be able to make his wish come true!!
