Chinese director Zhang Ran won 11 Oscar nominations for "One Man's Lights", setting a new record for foreign-language films to be nominated for Oscars, and writing a strong stroke for Chinese films. ——"Peking Daily"

Among the 11 Oscar nominations for "One Person's Lights", in addition to the Best Picture and Best Director awards, Zhang Jingchu was nominated for Best Actress the most, and she also created a new history.

In the history of the Oscars, there are many nominations for acting awards for foreign language films, and there are also actresses who finally won the best actor, in 2007, Marion Cotillard won the actress crown for her outstanding performance in the French film "La Vie en Rose", but the yellow race has never been nominated for the acting award at the Oscars for foreign language films.

Some of the yellow race have been nominated for Oscar acting awards, and some have even won them, such as Miyoshi Meixi won the best supporting actress in 1957 with "Cherry Blossom Love", and Wu Han won the best supporting actor in 1985 with "Slaughter of the City", but the movies they starred in were all English-language films.

This time, Zhang Jingchu was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress with "One Person's Lights", which is the first time that a yellow person has been nominated for the Oscar for acting in his own language and his own film!

Zhang Jingchu was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, first of all, because of the excellent quality of her performance, many critics think that her performance in "One Person's Lights" can be comparable to Holly Hunter's performance in "The Piano Lesson", which is enough to leave a name in film history, and Zhang Jingchu did not speak for less than a few months in order to act well, but suffered from hysterical aphasia due to too strong a sense of faith, and finally had to be hospitalized, which won the respect of many insiders; secondly, this year is the year of the Oscar for Best Actress, except for "Black Swan" Natalie Portman and Annette Bening of "The Children Are All Fine" stand out, and the other performances are relatively average, of course, the most important thing is that Summit Entertainment's public relations is very strong, Summit Entertainment has prepared 20 million public relations fees for "One Man Lights Up" to the Olympics, regardless of the cost.

Before the Oscar nominations came out, Zhang Jingchu lost the Anglo-Olympic and Golden Globe Awards among the four wind vanes, and only got the nominations of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and the Screen Actors Guild. Now hearing that Zhang Jingchu won the nomination for the actress, everyone is crazy with excitement.

"Scatter flowers! Sprinkle flowers! Jingchu has paid too much for this play! Only our first love knows that she is so strong and kind, thank God for his kindness to her! She still has a long way to go, and we will go on with her!"

"It's really nominated! Congratulations to Jingchu! Your efforts have not been in vain, I am so excited that I almost cry!"

"Mom! Congratulations to Jingchu! I've never gotten up so early! Just to see the news!"

"Cut, what's so great about Zhang Jingchu, it's not because she has a powerful husband. If my Bingbing could get along with Zhang Ran, she would have won the Oscar a long time ago!"

"To clarify, this person is not a popsicle, he is a fan of the National Rooster Chapter, he is deliberately provoking! Jingchu was nominated for an Oscar, and we popsicles are happy for her. However, the fans of the national rooster chapter were scared, afraid that Jing would steal her limelight when she first entered Hollywood. ”

"I have the ability of Fan pheasant fans to reverse black and white, don't you have a family and your own life?

Winning 11 Oscar nominations is something to celebrate for any director, but Zhang Ran didn't have time to celebrate, because there was an important thing waiting for him to deal with on this day.

The car stopped at the entrance of Blockbuster's headquarters in Dallas, and as soon as Zhang Ran got out of the car, he saw Avian Gellister, the current CEO of Blockbuster, hurrying up to meet him.

Evangelister enthusiastically stretched out his hands: "Mr. Zhang, it's been the road." ”

Zhang Ran shook hands with Evangelister and said, "Don't be so polite, hurry up and take me to see how the layout is!"

Seeing Zhang Ran say this, Evangelister immediately bent down and stretched out his hand, saying, "Mr. Zhang, please come here." As he walked, he introduced: "After knowing that the Chinese head of state is coming to visit BesTV, all BesTV employees are very proud. We specially selected 300 people from the company's employees, and contacted the Chinese American Chamber of Commerce in Dallas to select 300 Chinese to participate in the welcome ceremony. ”

Zhang Ran nodded and advised: "The people who participate in the welcome ceremony must not have troublemakers, and they must not make any mistakes!"

"The list has been handed over to the Secret Service, and they will conduct a strict review, and there will be no problems!" Evangelistt explained, and then continued to introduce the work arrangement, "We have made very detailed arrangements to complete this reception. Considering that the Spring Festival is approaching, we have arranged red lanterns, Chinese knots, and hung welcome banners in the company. In the exhibition area, we arranged a lot of DVDs, posters, derivatives related to China, as well as comics from "Dragon Group......"

Zhang Ran listened carefully to Evangelist's report, but did not express his opinion. The stakes are very high for the leaders to come to visit this time, and he must personally see how well the preparations are being made, so that he can rest assured.

Walking into the company hall, Zhang Ran found that the hall was really well decorated, not only hung with lanterns and Chinese knots, but also hung red banners welcoming the No. 1 chief. There is still half a month to go before the Spring Festival, and hanging lanterns and Chinese knots add a festive color to the company. Zhang Ran showed a smile: "It feels good, it's very Spring Festival atmosphere!"

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Evangelister breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the visit of the Chinese head of state was very important to Blockbuster, and after receiving Zhang Ran's notice, he spent a lot of effort on this matter.

However, Zhang Ran felt that it was not enough to just hang lanterns and Chinese knots, and that more connotative things must be shown. He knew that the No. 1 leader attaches great importance to culture, and after the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the country has put the promotion of cultural soft power, let Chinese culture go out, and expand the influence of Chinese culture to the height of the national strategy. This time, the No. 1 chief visited BesTV, and Zhang Ran hoped that the country would see the efforts made by the peak of the century in cultural output, and immediately said: "Take me to the exhibition hall to see!"

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Evangelister immediately took Zhang Ran to the exhibition hall on the second floor.

Entering the exhibition hall, Zhang Ran saw various posters posted on the wall, and in the middle was the poster of "One Man Lights Up", in addition to various movie posters, there were also posters of the "Dragon Group" comics. Zhang Ran came to the exhibition shelf and took a look, which displayed DVDs of the movies shot in "The Peak of the Century", various derivatives, and the "Dragon Group" series of comics launched by Marvel.

It has been two years since the filming of the "Dragon Group" TV series, and the later stage has already been completed, and the reason why it has not been broadcast until now is mainly because I am waiting for the "Dragon Group" comic launched by Marvel.

According to Zhang Ran's original plan, the "Dragon Group" TV series will be launched first, and then launched, comics, movies, and other related businesses after the TV series is popular. However, after Marvel CEO Acco Permatt knew about the big IP plan of "Dragons" and knew that Zhang Ran wanted to create a Chinese superhero, he felt that the story of "Dragons" could be drawn into comics by Marvel first, and then launch a TV series after it became influential. In this way, we can use Marvel's platform to increase the influence of "Dragons" in Europe and the United States, and at the same time expand Marvel's influence in China.

Zhang Ran felt that Echo Permatt's suggestion was very reasonable, and decided to press the "Dragon Group" TV series, and wait for the "Dragon Group" comics to have some influence in Europe and the United States before broadcasting the TV series.

After that, Marvel established the Marvel Asia Development Center in Lin'an, dedicated to the development of Marvel brands and businesses in Greater China, Dongying, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and gathered a group of Chinese artists to create the "Dragon Group" series of comics according to the concept and script of the "Dragon Group" TV series. In addition, Century Summit also sent someone to deeply participate in the content of the "Dragon Group" comics. Content that is as black as "Ten Heroes" is so black that China is flying is definitely not allowed to appear in "Dragon Group".

When the "Dragon Group" manga first released in North America, it sold very badly, with more than 1,000 copies, and most of them were bought by Chinese students. In order to increase the popularity of "Dragons", Marvel arranged for Dragons to appear in the "Iron Man" comics in September last year, first fighting with Iron Man, and then the two sides teamed up to smash the enemy's conspiracy. Driven by "Iron Man", the popularity of "Dragon Group" has really increased significantly, and now it can sell more than 4,000 copies.

In the past, it has always been Europe and the United States that imported animation works to China, but "Dragon Group" has transmitted Chinese stories to the West through Marvel, and has conveyed Chinese culture to European and American teenagers, which is undoubtedly an excellent representative of Chinese culture going global!

Looking at the "Dragon Group" comics on the display shelf, Zhang Ran picked up a copy and flipped through it, feeling quite good, and then looked at the other works on the display shelf, he was surprised to find that there was still a biography of the No. 1 leader on display. He couldn't help frowning and said, "Take this book away, it's too fake to put this here." We mainly do DVD rental, as well as various derivatives. If you put this book here, you will know that it is fake and cannot be placed here. He groaned, and said, "In this way, put this book on your desk, and if Chief One visits the office, you may see it." In the past two days, you have to take the time to read this book, so that you can talk when you receive the chief!"

Evangelist's eyes lit up: "I know, I'll finish this book as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Ran looked up at the posters on the wall, among which the poster of "Dragon Group" caught his attention. He suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity to further expand the influence of "Dragon Group", and said: "Put the poster of "Dragon Group" in the middle, but this poster is not good, it must be replaced with the kind of poster with the logo of the Dragon Group and the two Chinese characters of the Dragon Group, so that people can know at a glance that this is telling a Chinese story!"

Evangelister didn't understand Zhang Ran's intentions, but since the boss had said it, he definitely didn't have a second word: "We will adjust it as soon as possible!"

Zhang Ran walked around Blockbuster's headquarters, proposed some revisions, and then left Dallas. The No. 1 leader will arrive in Washington this afternoon for a state visit to the United States, and tomorrow morning the leaders of the two countries will jointly meet with business people.
