After the New Year, the time entered 08 years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The filming of "Rain Man" has been completed, and is currently stepping up the post-production, "Air Prison" has been filmed for most of the time, Wu Yusen at this period is already familiar with the filming process of magnesium films, and the staff and actors are commanded on the spot, which is also in an orderly manner, and they are currently filming the scene of the forced landing in Las Vegas, because the crew rented the scene for only one week, so their filming must be completed quickly, and all kinds of explosion scenes and crash scenes are also under the command of Wu Yusen, and the filming progress has been carried out.

As for the plot of "Jaws", all the exterior scenes have been filmed, and they are currently filming the scene of catching sharks indoors, and the seven or eight meter long great white shark is a simulated electronic shark created by the Menghang props team, which costs one million US dollars alone.

At the beginning of the film, they first create a variety of characters playing on the beach, then fish food running into the sea to swim, and then slowly introducing faceless sharks, and then showing the horror of the dark sea.

At some press conferences, Shao Gong exclusively broke the news: "In order to let the shark and the actor appear in the picture at the same time, and it is undisguised and delicate." The design team watched the shark video frame by frame, carefully analyzed and studied the shark's movements and habits, and they invited Dr. Maitle, who studies sharks, to be the action director, and under his guidance, the designers perfectly pinpointed the vitality of the shark, and even the complex jaw movements such as the shark's upper and lower jaws were completely simulated. ”

According to Shaogong's prediction, "Prison in the Air" and "Jaws" will be all filmed in May 08, plus post-production, Menghang's three films this year will be released at a staggered time in 08 without any time problems.

Originally, Shaogong's visa expired in February, but the green card that Kevin handled for him has been approved, and it is also a green card for extraordinary talents, which is second only to nationality. And Kevin also gave Shao Gong a permanent magnesium return certificate on the grounds that Huaxia Dream Airlines needs to deal with official business, with this certificate, he can travel back and forth between the magnesium country and the country at any time, and no longer needs to be restricted by the fact that he must stay in the magnesium country for half a year every year after applying for a green card, otherwise the green card will be canceled.

The Oscars will be held in March, so Shao Gong plans to participate in the Oscars, and after all three films are filmed, he will return to China with Liu Jing and Li Yong, and these two people, like Shao Gong, have also applied for green cards and permanent return certificates.

At the 80th Academy Awards, some of the staff and actors of Menghang who participated in the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" appeared on the Oscar red carpet one after another, Liu Jing wore a Snow White dress that attracted the attention of the media, and Michelle Yeoh and Zhao Wenzhuo were also invited by Menghang, and Bai Liuxi, who was the first woman of Shaogong, was also listed.

And the main creators and actors of "The Shawshank Redemption" also stepped on the red carpet after Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

As for "Blair the Witch" and "Saw Horror" because the films are limited to the horror ranks, they did not have a chance to win the Oscars, but although the box office is high, there is not even half an award except for Oska, but "Blair the Witch" unexpectedly received the MTV Movie Award - Best Action Scene nomination and the Saturn Award - Best Horror Film nomination, and was also selected for the Cannes Film Festival Best Overseas Film.

This is Menghang's second time participating in the Oscars, looking at Xiao Lizi next to him with a nervous look, Shao Gong encouraged him: "Don't be nervous, your performance is very good, and it will definitely pay off." ”

"Thank you. ”

Xiao Lizi nodded, although "The Shawshank Redemption" received unanimous praise, but this is an Oscar, and when he did not confirm that he won the Oscar for Best Actor, he couldn't help but sweat for himself.

In this Oscar, Menghang won four awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Original Soundtrack, and Best Foreign Language Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

This is the first time in many years that a Chinese-language film has won Best Foreign Language Film and a number of other Oscar awards, and this impressive achievement has also been included in the list of new Oscar records. Because it not only received ten nominations, but also took home four awards, this is also the first Chinese national martial arts film that has attracted the attention of the magnesium society of various cultures.

And because of the good box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America and Europe, more foreigners have a strong interest in China's unique kung fu and martial arts feelings, and many foreign friends have stepped on the plane to learn martial arts in China.

And when it comes to "The Shawshank Redemption" , there was a dramatic scene, although Andy played by Xiao Li Zi was the one who caused the incident, Morgan Freeman, who played the black prisoner Red, was the narrator, and he was the narrator from beginning to end, that is, the person who told the process and story of the whole play, so in the Best Actor, Morgan voted more than Xiao Lizi, and many viewers generally believed that although Andy's acting skills were so good that they croaked, Morgan's acting skills were so good that they exploded, so the award for Best Actor did not fall on Xiao Lizi, but on Morgan Freeman。

This old black actor has a wide range of roles in the magnesium country, and he has played almost all roles from servant to president. With his calculating energy in the film, he has unconsciously become a movie role that can replace Andy. Although he is still an old actor, he is very old, but the increase in age and wrinkles have not faded his own charm, with "The Shawshank Redemption", the Oscar nominee regular, finally won the Oscar for Best Actor today, and was also called by some media as one of the "best actors in the magnesium country".

Seeing his old partner come to the stage to accept the award, Xiao Lizi showed a wry smile, and Shao Gong whispered to him: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you get the Oscar for Best Actor, not this year, I believe that with Rain Man, we will reload next year." ”

"I understand that this year I was just unlucky and I'm sure we'll be back next year. ”

Xiao Lizi looked at Shao Gong with conviction: "Then we will go to the stage together to receive the award." ”

"It's a deal. ”

"It's a deal. ”

The two shook hands, he has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and what is missing is this Oscar for Best Actor and he is complete. originally thought that he would definitely get that award for the box office and fame of "Titanic", but Titanic was a catastrophic movie, although the box office and word-of-mouth were super invincible, he didn't win that award.

And although this "The Shawshank Redemption" does not have the box office of "Titanic", its artistry and reputation will never be under "Titanic", but unfortunately this time he collided with another actor, and that one is still an actor he respects very much, so he did not win the award this time, it is not very discouraged, on the contrary, he believes that next year with the movie "Rain Man", he will have the confidence to win the Oscar for Best Actor.

Although he has lost twice in the best films, there are two and two, not three and four, this is what his boss Ouyang Shaogong told him, so he is extremely confident in this boss's vision and ability to write scripts, because he can successfully go from a second-tier movie star to a Hollywood first-line movie star, all thanks to this boss.

In the subsequent awards, Shao Gong won the Best Original Screenplay award for the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", which is another award in the screenplay category after he won the best director last year. After coming to the magnesium country for two years, he finally won the recognition of the Oscar in directing and screenwriting.

Next, "The Shawshank Redemption" won the best cinematography, the best original soundtrack, the best editing and the best sound, and the best sound alone gave birth to four winners for Menghang, which can be described as a super harvest.

Of course, "The Shawshank Redemption" will win some other awards in addition to the Oscars, but those awards Kevin will go to accept the award instead of Menghang, and after the Oscars, Shao Gong has once again devoted himself to the shooting of new films.

In May, all three films finally entered post-production, and "Rain Man" has been scheduled to be released a month before the summer vacation, and "Prison in the Sky" is scheduled to be released a month after the summer vacation.

However, at this time, Huaxia suffered a huge natural disaster.

The time was 14:28:04 on May 12, 2008 (Monday), and an earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province, China, known as the "512" earthquake.

According to the data of the China Earthquake Bureau, the surface wave magnitude of the earthquake reached 8.0Ms, and the moment magnitude reached 8.3Mw. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the moment magnitude was 7.9MW and the seismic intensity reached 11 degrees. The earthquake was felt in most of China and many countries and regions in Asia, as far north as Liaoning, east as Shanghai, south as Hong Kong, Macao, Thailand, Vietnam, and west as Pakistan.

This natural disaster came too suddenly, the news spread to all overseas Chinese are concerned about the country, overseas Chinatowns and overseas Chinese self-help launched donations and materials, and as the famous Huaxia No. 1 film and television company Menghang, was named by Fang Wenshan, president of the San Francisco Chinatown Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, as the representative of the overseas Chinese in the magnesium country.

For this important task, Shao Gong did not shirk, Menghang's magnesium country branch and Huaxia Menghang headquarters have launched their connections to carry out fundraising activities, the total amount has reached 50 million yuan, which does not include the fundraising of many celebrities, because Menghang did not launch star connections to fundraise, all of them are Menghang's staff and high-level fundraising money.

With the money raised by Magnesium Dream Airlines and the donations raised by all overseas Chinese in Chinatown, Shao Gong, Liu Jing and Li Yong finally got on the plane back to China, and after more than 20 hours of air flight, they landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport again.
