Chapter 1128: Chinese Pride Night

However, Lucas was just acting like this, and soon returned to normal, saying: "Actually, I have an idea, but I need your support!"

Wu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "Oh my God, although you are also a contracted director of CAA, I don't have any right to restrict you, do I?"

"Of course it's not this, I just want to say that I want to adapt a comic from Marvel Comics (this comic at this time is translated into Chinese, it is 'Marvel Comics', 'Marvel' is a paraphrase, and Marvel is a transliteration) into a movie, but when I went to Marvel, they said that this comic company was acquired by you a few years ago, so ......"

When Wu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but search for those information about Lucas in the memory bank. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Soon, he knew which comic Lucas wanted to adapt and which movie he wanted to make. However, according to the information, the results of this adapted movie seem to be average.

If nothing goes wrong, that movie should be "Fallen from the Sky" that will be released next year.

It's just that this movie with an investment of 30 million yuan has a final box office income of less than 40 million, which is a loss in terms of investment income ratio.

However, if you add other peripherals, you can only say 'no money'.

As for the acquisition of Marvel, it was a long time ago.

In fact, after Wu Cheng came to North America, he set his sights on Marvel and CD.

It was only later that I found out that CD Comics had been targeted by Warner Bros. for a long time. And when Wu Cheng bought Marvel, Warner had already won the CD comics.

Then in contact with Warner Bros., Warner Bros. rejected him several times, so he now only has one Marvel Comics in his hands. Of course, Xiangjiang's Fengyun Animation Company does not count.

When he bought this comic company, Wu Chengke spent a lot of money.

But to be able to pocket these 'superheroes' and spend a little price, he thinks it's very worth it. In the future, when these superheroes are brought to the big screen, people will know how much energy these superheroes will have.

Lucas wanted to make this movie, but Wu Cheng didn't know what to say for a while.

Do you want to tell him that the film will not be successful in the future?

At this time, those superheroes can only be majestic in comics, and they can be majestic on the big screen, and now there is only one 'superman'.

And 'Superman', who is still the protagonist of CD comics, has nothing to do with Marvel.

Although Marvel's "Captain America" has been adapted, the response is not comparable to "Superman", and it is not until the 21st century that "Captain America" has a new year.

Therefore, at this time, although many people are looking forward to people putting those superheroes on the big screen, in fact, everyone's confidence is not very large, even including the creators of those comics. It's just that they have expectations for this, so when Wu Cheng acquired Marvel, he would spend more manpower, material and financial resources.

Of course, Wu Cheng is not short of these things.

So, Marvel fell into his pocket.

If Lucas's adaptation of this film fails again, it is estimated that their confidence will be even lower!

However, although he knew that his adaptation would not be too successful, Wu Cheng could only watch. In fact, he didn't know which superhero would be better for Lucas to adapt.

After all, the limitations of film technology at this time are still quite large. If the character adaptation he proposed also failed in the end, would Lucas blame him?

And when the time comes, Lucas probably has to try the comic he wants to adapt now, and then continue to bring that "Fallen from the Sky" to the screen.

In addition, although he failed in the movie "Falling from the Sky", in fact, he only knew some basic information about the movie and did not watch the movie. He just wants to change some of the elements, or some of the things that are not popular with the audience.

So, what else can he say?

Therefore, he can only say: "I naturally don't have any problems here, although Marvel Comics was acquired by me, but it is their person in charge who really makes the decision." ā€

"Hey, Cheng, long time no see!" Seeing that Wu Cheng and Lucas were chatting, Spielberg, who had just arrived, greeted them.

"Steven, long time no see! What have you been up to lately?"

Spielberg smiled, "A new film is being prepared, based on the novel of the same name by female writer Alice Walker, "The Color Purple." Of course, the production company is your dream factory, but the casting has not yet been decided......"

"What do you think of Whoopi Goldberg?" asked Wu Chengxiao.

Although he hadn't seen the movie in the original time and space, when the novel of the same name came out three years ago, he had a cursory glance and knew that it was a story about a black girl. If there is anyone he is most familiar with among black actresses, it must be this funny and powerful black actress. After all, when he and Hepburn were filming "Ghost Love", he cooperated with the black actress and knew that her acting skills were very good.

Spielberg smiled, "I thought so too. Unfortunately, the female writer seemed to have doubts about my directing ability. As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself.

"I don't think it's too much of a problem, your ability will conquer her!"

"Wow, wow, wow, how do I feel ambiguous when I hear it? Honestly, Mrs. Spielberg might be angry when she hears that! You know, she's a pregnant woman now!"

Lucas joked on the sidelines.

"yes! Congratulations to Steven, he's going to be a dad again!"

Spielberg laughed when he heard this: "When it comes to being a father, I can't compare with you!"

When Lucas heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing them smiling so well, many people looked over, and then joined in their small talk, talking to each other about their plans and intentions, and learning about the current situation of others.

Before you know it, it's evening, and then the awards ceremony begins.

As Wu Cheng guessed, although the movie "Legend of the Night" won many awards, the most important awards were not won by him, including the Best Supporting Actor Award.

However, in this award, Wu Cheng doesn't feel any regrets, because this supporting actor award was won by a Chinese, and this Chinese and him Wu are still from their own family.

Speaking of which, his family is the first Chinese to win an acting award at the Oscars. Although he Wu has also won an award, it is not an acting category.

Wu Cheng is the first Chinese to win the Screenwriting Award at the Academy Awards, as well as the Best Foreign Language Film award. As early as the fifties and sixties, there were Chinese people who appeared at the Academy Awards, but the award he won was the photography award.

And in the end, the film "Tales of the Night" only won the award for Best Visual Effects, as well as the award for Best Action Design and Best Editing.

It is not surprising that many of Wu Cheng's films have won the Best Editing Award.

It is worth mentioning this 'Best Action Design Award'. Because this award is new to this year's Oscars. The previous Academy Awards did not have this award.

This award is the Chinese Film Awards on the other side of Xiangjiang.

And a large part of the reason why the Oscar has increased this award is because of Wu Cheng.

Starting from Wu Cheng's "God of Gamblers", to "Black Man", and then to "Legend of the Night", many filmmakers in Hollywood have begun to pay attention to action.

Especially when the action director on the Xiangjiang side adapted the actions in some action scenes, the visual effects of those action movies during the fight increased a lot.

Therefore, the old diehards of the college of the organizers have finally been enlightened once and added such an award. However, it is a pity that with the increase of this award, how many foreigners can compete for them when they meet Chinese action directors? Therefore, Yuan Kui, the action director of the movie "Legend of the Night", is lucky to become the first person to win this award, and the first Chinese.

However, I believe that more and more Chinese will win this award in the future.

And tonight, for many Chinese, it can be regarded as a 'pride night'.

Because on the stage of this Oscars, three Chinese faces appeared, two of them held the trophy, and one handed the trophy in his hand to others.

And Wu Cheng is the one who handed over the trophy to others.

Because it's not because "Tales of the Night" won the award. It's because the organizer arranged for him to be the guest of honor on stage. Although he is giving the award to Best Actress, the problem is that this year's Best Actress is not a beautiful woman, but a woman who is almost forty years old.

If the person who won this award was Zhong Chuhong, then tonight would be perfect.

Therefore, Wu was not excited at all.

Fortunately, the entire crew of "Tales of the Night" had a good atmosphere, and they were not frustrated because they didn't win the award. In fact, they all know that it is basically impossible for a movie of the genre like "Tales of the Night" to win those major awards.

Then at the Vanity Fair cocktail party, Wu Cheng and Zhong Chuhong also participated, and then said hello to those acquaintances, and left with Zhong Chuhong.

Halfway through the car, he received a call from Al Pacino, asking if he was free to go out for a drink.

Wu Cheng didn't expect Al Pacino to find himself for a drink, and he believed that Al Pacino must have known that he didn't like to drink at night clubs.

In this case, he also sent an invitation, so Wu Cheng did not refuse, and asked the bodyguards to send Zhong Chuhong home, and he turned to find Al Pacino. However, what he didn't expect was that in that night club, he actually met two people he didn't expect.
