Although it was not fun to go to San Francisco to celebrate the New Year, the next news made Shao Gong and Menghang very happy, because last year's hurry, Menghang's Titanic was finally released at the end of the year, just in time for the last-second flight to participate in the Oscars. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that the Oscar has sent an invitation letter to Menghang, saying that "Titanic" has been nominated for the Oscar, and there is more than one award nomination, and now the Oscar Association has sent an invitation to Menghang, inviting the actors, directors and producers of "Titanic" to participate.

Since 1929, the Oscars have been awarded annually, and for whatever reason, the films entered have been staged from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year.

In the race for the Oscars, historical and political factors will always affect the genre and presentation of the film. In other words, in determining the attribution of the Oscars, the social environment, the spirit of the times, and the theme are more important than the artistic content of the film itself. And the Oscars' choice of films is always safe, mainstream, and non-controversial.

And these films should also have widely accepted values, such as nostalgia or emphasizing traditional family values.

The selection will go through two rounds of voting: the first round is the nomination voting, which is nominated by the departments under the college, and the nominated films will be screened in turn in the main part of the college, and then all members of the college will conduct the second round of voting, using the secret ballot. In the end, the number of votes will determine whether the film will win the award.

Every year, the Oscars are a feast for the film industry in the magnesium country, and it will be broadcast live on television in more than 100 countries. Among them, the trophy is in the form of a snail man, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, holding a long sword, standing on a five-ring plate. Each of its rings represents several important work departments such as producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, and technicians of the Academy of Film Arts.

Although the Oscars have been held in various locations, the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in California, which opened on November 9, 2001, was the first permanent permanent awards venue recognized by the association.

For the Chinese, the Oscar is an eternal pain, although the discourse film has won in major film festivals, but the Oscar is like a door, closing the door of the Chinese film.

Among them, many of them have worked hard to win the best foreign language film award in Huaxia, including "Ju Dou", "The Red Lantern Hangs High" and "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige, "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eating Men and Women" directed by Ang Lee, but they all failed, and those films were all nominated, but half of them did not win the award.

Now that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has made Shao Gong take the lead, Ang Lee is even more useless.

Before the official opening, the Oscars will have rehearsals, and during the rehearsals before the stars are present, the seats in the Dolby Theater are placed with photos of the invitees, and the scene looks very weird, as if a huge posthumous photo is placed on the seats. Although the stars on the red carpet are all competing and the outfits are eye-catching, everyone needs to change into formal attire, which will be delivered to the venue in advance, and then the venue staff will hang their own name tags on those clothes, and when the invited guests arrive, they will be given a change into.

Shao Gong and his Menghang have been looking forward to this feast for a long time, and during the official opening, a large screen TV in the conference room of the Huaxia headquarters is also broadcasting this grand ceremony.

Watching the major stars, directors, and producers on the screen appear on the red carpet one after another, waving to reporters from all walks of life, there was a solemn atmosphere in the conference room, and they were all waiting, waiting for the moment when their boss appeared on the stage.

As time passed, in the end, a familiar figure appeared on the red carpet, it was a Chinese, very handsome, and with him on the red carpet, there was also Amber who played Ruth on the Titanic, the foreign girl was holding Shaogong's arm and stepped on the red carpet together, and the intimacy of the two looked like a couple. And behind the two, followed by Kevin Wright.

Today's Kevin is also high-spirited, and after years of decline, he finally stepped on the red carpet of the Oscars with his head held high, so his expression was filled with indescribable joy and pride when he waved his hand.

"What does that woman have to do with Shaogong??"

Seeing that the two looked intimate, Meng Xiangting's hands trembled a little, and her heart was very chaotic, sure enough, if she didn't go to the magnesium country with her, Shaogong was fished away by the oceanhorse. But when she looked at the picture, she couldn't watch it anymore, so she got up and went out to make a phone call. When Yang Yue'er saw this scene, she pouted and said unconvinced: "Is that foreign girl very good-looking?? I don't think it's as good as me......" She was not in the mood to continue watching the live broadcast, and quietly walked out of the conference hall.

"Liu Jing???It's me Meng Xiangting, I want to ask what Amber has to do with Shaogong!!"

"Couple!!"

After getting Liu Jing's accurate information, Meng Xiangting slammed the mobile phone hard, and the new mobile phone she had only bought for two months was thrown to the ground angrily by her, and it was scrapped directly with a "pop" sound.

"Later, don't you want your aunt when you go abroad??"

In a community in Beijing, Liu Yifei looked at the anchor's picture, quietly picked up the backrest on the sofa, curled up in frustration, and muttered alone: "I'm a magnesium nationality, I don't need any visa to go anywhere!!"

Although "The Condor Heroes" made her popular again, and some people even said on the Internet that she and Shao Gong were called the best couple on the screen, but now the red star has no financial support from Chen Jinfei, and the entire team has almost collapsed. And Liu Yifei's red star team is very scarce in terms of talent in script selection, and their company currently has no songwriters, so her singer's path is not smooth.

Outside the Dolby Theater, Amber and Shaogong were interviewed by reporters, they looked at the intimacy of the two, and asked Shaogong who Amber was for him, and in the face of the microphone, Shaogong generously admitted: "Girlfriend." ”

Amber was interviewed and happily kissed him on the face, and happily admitted that she was fascinated by the other party's temperament, so she pursued it desperately. And she thinks that the romance of Chinese boys is also unique. Although it is also very romantic for a boy to chase a girl, the routine is almost always the same, it is nothing more than going to a restaurant for dinner, sending a bouquet of flowers, and then sending the girl home.

But the dating method of Chinese boys is to accompany their beloved girl to the park or the beach for a walk, chat, watch the sunset, and then have a meal together, and invite each other to travel together, adventure and so on in their spare time.

But when she was saying these words, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a very masculine familiar Qianying among the photographers, who was a photographer from her past, although the other party was also a woman, but the two of them had a relationship.

Seeing her, Amber's eyes suddenly dimmed, but she and Shao Gong still looked very sweet, and they were not caught by the reporter in the moment when her eyes were dark. But this scene can deceive others, but it can't deceive the eyes of the female photographer "Tasya VanRee".

Although "Titanic" was shot by Chinese, it is undoubtedly a well-made magnesium movie, its fame and amazing box office data have overshadowed countless excellent films, if such a film cannot win awards, then this Oscar is really inhumane.

In fact, the audience of Magnesium Country is very realistic, they only accept the movie they think is good, no matter who made it, as long as it is good, they will shout wildly.

At the Oscars in 07, "Titanic" won eleven awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Effect, Best Film Song, Best Sound Editing, and Best Original Music with its super popularity and box office.

During the period, Kevin Wright took the stage to accept the award for the best film, because he was the producer, and the best director was Shao Gong who came to the stage to accept the award.

Although Amber missed out on the Best Actress award and only got a nomination, the Best Movie Song Award for "Titanic" was awarded to Amber because "My Heart Is Eternal" was sung by her.

As for Xiao Lizi, she missed out on Best Actor and only received a nomination.

As for the 06th year, "Titanic" won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Composition, Best Film Music and other awards, and it was Shao Gong, Kevin, and Amber who participated in receiving the awards, of which Kevin received the Best Film Award, and Shao Gong received the Best Director and Best Composition, after all, "My Heart is Eternal" was created by him, and Amber received the Best Film Music Award.

And the European Film Award for Best Actress went to Amber.

Such a series of awards made Amber instantly a first-line movie star in the magnesium country.

With the raised eyebrows on the Oscars, Kevin now walks with a sigh. A month after Oscar's end, he came to Shaogong's office and happily asked, "Boss, what are our plans for coming down?" ”

"Naturally, we continued to play the three films we made. ”

Shao Gong smiled: "Now that we have a theater, the previous three films "Blair the Witch", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Chainsaw" can take advantage of the popularity of "Titanic" to bring us box office surprises again. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Gong said to Kevin: "But the most important thing now is that you have to solve the green card problem for me, and it is a senior green card that is not subject to the time limit of residence, if you can't do it, you have to find a way to renew my visa for another two years, otherwise in February next year, I will be forced to leave the magnesium country because of the expiration of my visa, my friend." ”

"No problem, my friend. ”

Kevin agreed easily: "But what about our next shooting plans!!"

"I already have, of course. ”

Shao Gong asked him, "What has Xiao Lizi been busy with lately?" ”

Titanic didn't win him Best Actor, he was very disappointed, so he went to care about the animals. ”

Kevin laughed, "I heard that there are two scripts waiting for him. ”

"Okay, tell him not to sign other scripts, you call him, and say that I will take him to the Oscars again, and I will never give up if I don't praise him as the best actor. ”

"No problem. ”

Hearing this, Kevin was pleasantly surprised: "You already have a shooting plan, how big is the production, what genre??"

"Of course, this time I'm going to make a prison movie, but it's not a big production, and I don't plan to use special effects, it's a pure drama. ”

Shao Gong knocked on the desk, his eyes were serious and full of strange looks, and he said word by word: "Our film is called "The Shawshank Redemption". ”

"Drama, no kidding!!"

Hearing Shao Gong say so calmly, Kevin was a little stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "NO, NO, NO, OUR FAME HAS NOW GOTTEN RID OF THE PREDICAMENT, AND WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS, SO WE CAN JUST SHOW OUR SKILLS AND SHOOT SOME SCI-FI OR MAGIC PRODUCTIONS, MAGIC AND HERO TYPES ARE VERY POPULAR IN RECENT YEARS, I THINK WE CAN ALSO TRY." ”

"Listen to Kevin, our Titanic last year has made the six major companies very jealous of us, and if we go to the field they are best at now, then they will undoubtedly unite to boycott us. But if we start making a feature film, do you think he still thinks our feature film can compete with their sci-fi or fantasy themes??"

"Of course not, but then we will undoubtedly lose badly, and there is no market for feature films now. ”

"It depends on how you shoot it, what if we can make a feature film as classic as the Titanic??"

Shao Gong squinted his eyes and smiled: "Believe my friend, let's use a feature film to start an invisible contest with their science fiction and magic this time!!" In the face of his insistence, Kevin was persuaded again, he waved his hand and said: "Whatever you want!" ”

As he was talking, Liu actually knocked on the door and pushed the door in, and said to Shaogong: "Senior brother, Balang Sim asked you to go to dinner." Hearing this, Kevin was puzzled: "This guy, I've been inviting you to dinner lately, what does he want to do??"

"What else can I do, naturally it is to pull the relationship and increase the friendship. ”

Shao Gong smiled: "Go and tell him, just say that I will definitely go at his invitation." ”

"Okay. ”

Liu Jing nodded, turned around and walked out.

Immediately, Shaogong wrote some lists, and then handed them to Kevin: "This is the cast list of "The Shawshank Redemption", you go and find them for me." Looking at those lists, Kevin said chicly: "With the momentum of our Menghang now, they will definitely not refuse." ”

"Go ahead and do it!!!! ”

Seeing Kevin leave, Shao Gong lay on the seat leisurely, he was obsessed with "The Shawshank Redemption" in his previous life to the point of madness, although he watched that film no less than ten or twenty times, but I have to admit that it is a film that he never gets tired of watching.

Just like its film reviews, it is a classic that can withstand the ravages of time and never wither.

In the past half a month, Baransim has indeed strengthened his ties with Shaogong, and every time he treats guests to dinner. For this, Shao Gong did not refuse, that person was just a relationship, the purpose was to deepen the friendship with Menghang.

And this time, after they finished eating, Baransim asked Shao Gong to do great health care, for this, Amber used to watch closely, and he didn't have a chance to play. But in the past half a month, Amber surprisingly didn't come to disturb him, which made Shaogong feel a little awkward.

In a bathing center, after the two took a bath, they found two masseurs, those two were beautiful women, with a good figure, and the two went to the room to enjoy themselves after the massage. However, after Shaogong enjoyed it, he went to Balang's room and used hypnosis to let him reveal some secrets.

And the next day, Balang's mind was groggy, and he thought it was caused by a big battle last night and physical and mental exhaustion, and he didn't have any doubts about Shaogong. After Shao Gong had breakfast with him, he went back to the company to continue working.

In Shawshank, Tim Robbins, the actor of Andy's role, can be said to have given this character a soul, but unfortunately it was many years ago, and the current Tim Robbins has grown old, so Xiao Li has become a unique replacement, and the current Xiao Li Zi is 100% consistent with Andy's image, plus the two images belong to the kind of image that is weak on the outside, but has a strong soul on the inside.

Shawshank, a horrific prison where humanity is dehumanized and despairing. And Andy has a dream of a long road to freedom in his heart, he washed himself in the depths of his soul again and again in Shawshank, and his heart yearning for freedom has never been wiped out by cruelty.

It is no exaggeration to say that "The Shawshank Redemption" is an immortal inspirational classic, and its "hope" to follow God's will sleeps peacefully in the hollowed-out Bible, attached to Andy's tall body, and crawling in 500 yards of sewers. In the end, the only dirty road that leads Andy to the beautiful new world, completing a self-redemption.

At the end of the film, it is written: Cowardice imprisons the soul of man, and hope can feel freedom.

The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people.

Pursuing one's life is not just a dream, if we don't do it, we are imprisoning ourselves.

Another half a month has passed, and the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" is intensively fundraising, while Menghang's second movie "Blair the Witch" has been released in full magnesium.

Its production cost is only 50,000 US dollars, which can be described as a small cost of small costs, and Blair's story is said to be real, and Menghang also uses documentary shooting this time, not making it as a film at all, but shooting it as a documentary mode.

With Amber's previous joining, its publicity has reached the point of overwhelmingness, so that it has been expected by many people before it is screened.

Due to the lack of large-scale screenings during this time, Menghang's "Blair the Witch" took advantage of the time and place, and Oudian originally only arranged 200 theaters to screen it in the first week, but when this low-budget horror film was screened, it was unexpectedly enthusiastic from the audience.

Finally, five days after the screening, the second- and third-rate cinema chains that had previously signed a contract with Dream Airlines joined the screening ranks, and the number of theaters expanded from 200 in the second week to 1,200 at once.

In the end, this "Blair Witch" won the box office for two consecutive weeks after its release, and in the third and fourth weeks, its box office performance slipped to second place, and the box office in China and Europe has reached a high of 50 million US dollars in a month, plus the box office of 40 million US dollars a month on the magnesium country's side, its global box office is 90 million US dollars.

The investment of 50,000 US dollars in exchange for a rate of return of more than 1,000 times is a very, very rare super miracle for the film industry in the magnesium country, where the film elimination rate is very high.
