Chapter 66: The Beautiful You (22)
After dealing with Liang's mother in Hong Kong, Xiao Lan flew to the United States, and during the release of "The Iron Knight", she decided to schedule the next movie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Xiao Lan's goal is to win this year's Oscars, but she can't put all her treasures on "The Iron Knight", so she chose to plan the next movie immediately. Even if this year's work is not successful, you can still pin your hopes on the next work, even if the next work will take more time, money and energy.
In short, Xiao Lan didn't want to stop and wait, at least while waiting for news, to prepare for possible failures.
"Iron Knight" has a general response in China, whether in the mainland or Hong Kong, a large part of the reason may be that the background of this film is the ancient dynasty of Western Europe, and the Chinese are not very familiar with it, so there is a situation where the box office results are dull and unimpressive.
On the contrary, Western European countries have great expectations for this, they are not familiar with the director and the star, but after watching the trailer, the inner expectations are simply unbearable.
The protagonist of "The Iron Knight" is set as a tragic hero, much respected and loved by the people of the time, and his foolish loyalty to the king leads him to the path of destruction.
The background of the war film is grand, and Xiao Lan invited the best post-production under the condition of huge financial support, so that the film has the best production.
In addition to the story and the later stage, Xiao Lan also worked the role, and she chose the range of actors, covering Europe and the Americas, before finally finding a suitable actor. Playing a historical hero is a great challenge for an actor, his original temperament must be in line with the role, and his appearance must be at least four points alike, and the difficulty of choosing can be imagined.
Xiao Lan rigidly treats the drama actor as a movie actor, which is a challenge, but it adds a lot of color to the whole movie.
In the story, later stage, casting and other aspects of the movie, Xiao Lan was nominated for an Oscar as a matter of course.
The full name of the Oscars is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, also known as the "Academy Awards", or Oscars for short. There are several categories of awards, but the most important ones are Best Picture, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Director.
Xiao Lan is obviously rushing for the last award.
The annual Oscars ceremony is a stage that every film practitioner and art practitioner yearns for.
Even if they just participated, the title of "Oscar nomination" alone was enough to serve as an affirmation of their ability.
On the international stage, the competition is even more intense.
Los Angeles in the United States, even if it is close to midnight and the darkness is shrouded, this kind of city is still brightly lit and starry.
The annual Oscars are enough to attract the world's attention, and onlookers expect the outcome as much as the nominees themselves, and it would be foolish to predict what will happen in the end.
Xiao Lan was dressed in a red dress, and the high heels on her feet made her figure even taller. At this awards ceremony, which was full of beauties, Xiao Lan relied on her own characteristics
And unique luck stands out and stands out very well in the crowd.
Media people didn't recognize Xiao Lan immediately, and some people even mistakenly thought that she was an actor, with the appearance and temperament of an actor, but she was the role of a director, and this contradiction later became an article written by the media.
"Thank you, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen!"
"During the year, many excellent works appeared on the screen......"
"The winner of the Best Picture award was 'The Iron Knight'!"
Under the expectations of everyone, Xiao Lan's film won the Best Picture Award, which is a very important award in the Oscars, but it has never been Xiao Lan's goal.
Because the Best Picture Award is the name of the film company, Xiao Lan's name is only displayed in a very small area. After that, the actor and actress of "Iron Knight" won the Best Male and Female Awards, and one film contains three awards, what a great honor!
However, Xiao Lan did not get her goal and was nominated for Best Director, but did not win the Best Director Award.
The first is that Xiao Lan's reputation is not beaten, the second is that Xiao Lan is still too young, and the third is that considering many factors such as the psychological balance of the older generation of directors, Xiao Lan did not win the award in the end.
Xiao Lan has also considered this situation, and can only accept the knot calmly.
In fact, she has already estimated the result in her heart, otherwise she would not have invested in the next movie.
Since he didn't reach his goal, there was no point in going to dinner with others after the award ceremony, so Xiao Lan withdrew.
It is inevitable that there will be a little loss in her heart.
This movie is a new kind of Xiao Lan, and the experience uses a unique shooting technique, and then casting, production, and how much effort is spent. Although she knew that she couldn't take it, she couldn't be happy because she felt that she had failed as a matter of course.
Her back as she left the field alone looked lonely, but her straight spine told the others.
She will come back.
Xiao Lan's loss did not stop the fire of "Iron Knight".
After the domestic media learned that "The Iron Knight" won the annual Oscar, they began to promote it. The movie theater was immediately scheduled again, and it made a lot of money.
When "Iron Knight" became popular, someone specifically went to learn about the director of the shooting, a Chinese female director. Someone with a heart also dug out Xiao Lan's previous background, and the good and bad reviews were mixed together, and no one on either side let anyone go.
Xiao Lan's Weibo in China did not post another sentence five years ago because of her departure. Only the words "go to the United States" were left, and Xiao Lan's followers on Weibo never saw her post on other Weibo.
The popularity of "Iron Knight" has made her Weibo popularity start to increase again.
Fans and black fans pinched each other, and there would be no response anyway, and the black fans recklessly commented and suppressed Xiao Lan's Weibo, and the fans originally refuted, but later there were too many water armies, so they stopped talking.
――The "big director" who has been paid for all the way, I won't talk about how much water there is in "Iron Knight". After not being able to mix in China, he ran away to a foreign country, Oscar didn't deserve it, it seems that people still have some eyesight.
――The female director, still a Chinese, did not expect to go abroad to make a movie, why not shoot at home?
Xiao Lan doesn't respond, it doesn't mean that she doesn't read her Weibo. The following are all trolls, thinking that Xiao Lan will not be on Weibo again, and he starts to scold regardless of it, and even fans can't say it.
In the face of many doubts, Xiao Lan posted a Weibo again after five years, simply responding to all the doubts.
- Give me five years, the next film, the best director award.
In just a few words, Xiao Lan made a bet for himself, and also responded to the encouragement of fans.
Some people look at it, some people look at jokes.
Xiao Lan ignored it, closed Weibo, and began to prepare for a new movie.
