On the evening of February 2, Yenching time, the nomination ceremony for the 82nd Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) was held at the Samuel Goldwin Theater in Beverly Hills. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 3D blockbuster "Avatar" topped the list with nine nominations, while the $15 million, low-budget independent film "Bomb Disposal Unit," also received nine nominations, tying for the top spot with "Avatar."

The main attention of the domestic and foreign media is "Avatar", and "Bomb Disposal Unit" has not attracted too much attention.

However, in addition to the domestic media paying attention to "Avatar", "Inception", which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film from dozens of films, also attracted wide coverage from the domestic media.

Over the years, the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film have often been won by European films, and Asian films have won several awards for Best Foreign Language Film for Japanese films. For example, last year's 81st Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was won by Japan's "The Undertaker".

And Huaxia, except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" sent by Taiwan Island at the beginning of the millennium, which won the only Best Foreign Language Film award on behalf of Huaxia, the best foreign language film at every Oscar over the years, let alone winning awards, even the shortlisted nominees have become extravagant hopes.

Finally this year, "Inception" made a breakthrough and was shortlisted for the 82nd Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Whether it can replicate the trajectory of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" back then, from the five films that were nominated, and win the Best Foreign Language Film Award this year has been expected by countless Chinese people.

It is not for nothing that the Academy Awards in the United States can become a world-famous film award and become the most influential film award in the world.

Just like "Inception", after being nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, the overseas market, which is still being screened, immediately ushered in a new wave of movie-watching.

In China, many viewers who have not been to the theater to watch "Inception" also want to see it, but unfortunately the theater has already painted, so they can only find the source of the film on the Internet.

Piracy...... Though there are few, there is!

However, several shareholders of Hualong made efforts at the same time, with the help of relevant state departments, to knock down all the pirated websites that provided the source of "Inception" with lightning speed.

Even if the server is set up abroad, it will not escape the attack.

Touching their cheese, don't think about it wherever you hide!

In a very short period of time, the piracy was swept away, and if you want to watch "Inception" on the Internet, you can only log in to Storm Video to watch the genuine version, Hualong Pictures is the major shareholder of Storm Technology.

Storm Technology has long bought the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Inception" at a high price, but the genuine version is charged: either VIP members are the first to watch it, or pay five yuan to watch the full film.

Compared with the ticket price of dozens of yuan in the cinema, five yuan is really not expensive, but considering that the monthly membership fee of VIP members is only about ten yuan, more users tend to recharge members.

At the beginning of February, the number of Storm Audio-Visual members increased dramatically.

That's the beauty of the Oscars: being shortlisted helps to increase the popularity and box office of the film, and winning the Oscar increases the popularity and box office of the film even more!

The popularity of the main creators such as Xiao Xing, Huang Bo, and Li Bingyu has reached a new high, and various companies have stepped up their efforts to promote their artists.

Media reports, heated public opinion, interviews with reporters, program interviews, etc., that is called a lively.

Ning Zhiyuan's father and son were not in the mood to participate in this excitement, but were a little confused.

Mai Xiaoyu's acquisition of Qingtian shares is worried that Qingtian will interfere with it and deliberately muddy the waters?

I can't figure it out, it's just like Mai Xiaoyu wants to make a TV series with his female stars, it's a mystery.

Mai Xiaoyu will not care about the thoughts of Ning Zhiyuan's father and son, taking the good opportunity of "Inception" being shortlisted for the Oscar to arouse heated discussions, the cute publicity department once again released heavy news - Meng Ren Film and Television wants to adapt Wheat's "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and spent a huge amount of money to put this best-selling novel on the TV screen!

The production cost is 90 million!

Cute people and Li Hui studio joint investment!

Director Li Hui!

A masterpiece of no less than seventy episodes!

……

A series of related reports have made readers who like "The Legend of Zhen Huan" happy, and have also attracted great attention from people in the industry.

Who plays "Zhen Huan"?

Who plays "Niangniang"?

Who plays "Concubine Hua"?

Who plays "King Guojun"?

Who plays "Yongzheng"?

There are also "An Lingrong" and "Shen Meizhuang......

The many characters in the novel that leave a deep impression not only aroused heated discussions among readers, but also aroused the hearts of countless actors and film and television companies in the entertainment industry.

Mai Xiaoyu is a wonder, his cute people like to play with a single machine and eat alone, these are not secrets.

Other people's film and television dramas, in order to share the risk, often like to find a few more investors; cute film and television dramas, mistakes are not necessary, never find funds from the outside, even if the budget is high, as much as possible.

And cute film and television dramas have almost never lost money, and the higher the investment ratio, the better the results. The drama is popular, and there are countless new and old artists who are popular!

This time, the production cost of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is as high as 70 million, and counting the follow-up publicity operations, additional expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, it is very likely to rush for 100 million.

100 million ...... Enough to make a blockbuster!

Yes, Li Hui's studio also invested, but that was because Li Hui was a director, and his studio was under the banner of Mengren, who accounted for 30% of the shares. Moreover, it is rumored that Li Hui's studio only contributed 10 million.

Meng Ren dares to throw tens of millions of dollars in this drama, which is enough to prove that he is optimistic about this drama, and the sales of the original novel are also very high, and it has a large readership.

How important it is for readers to remember, just look at the hot box office of "Twilight 2".

Good dramas are the easiest to become popular actors, not only the heroine, but also the brilliant supporting roles, which has long been recognized in the circle, and the probability of popular actors in cute dramas is higher!

Approaching the Chinese New Year, from first-line TV cafes to third- and fourth-tier actors and even newcomers, those who have the ability to start private activities, it doesn't matter while reading "The Legend of Zhen Huan" while staring at the crew's preparation information, waiting for the crew to start preparing, run the group and hand over the group photos.

Hengdian Film and Television City.

The end of the day's shooting.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Xin dragged his tired body back to the hotel in the thick smell of the New Year on the street, and called home first.

"Mom, I can't spend the New Year with you this year. ”

"The crew is in a hurry to film, and time does not allow. ”

"No, no, you don't have to come. On the fifth day of junior high school, my role is finished, and I can go back, you don't have to toss back and forth......"

During the Spring Festival holiday, the crew will generally take about 3 days off, and a very few crews will take 5 days off, of course, there are also crews who don't take a day off.

To be honest, celebrities in big names are also ordinary people, and they naturally want to spend as much time as possible with their families during the Spring Festival, but for the crew or producer, one more day off will give one more day of filming and one more investment cost.

Therefore, the attitude of the filmmakers is often to hope that there will be fewer holidays or even no holidays. As the No. 1 film and television base in China, every year during the Chinese New Year, there are 10 or 20 crews in Hengdian Film and Television City who stick to the set and continue filming.

Jiang Xin's crew will not take a holiday during the Chinese New Year this year.

The big-name stars in the crew still stick to Hengdian, unless the commercial performance notice was arranged before, go to a hole to earn a lot of labor fees, and follow the crew to film the rest of the time; she is just a second- or third-tier actor who is not very famous, and she still plays a supporting role, how can she be eligible to take leave to go home for the New Year?

Do you want to take on the show in the future?

Hung up the phone, the assistant brought dinner, and ordered takeout from outside.

Jiang Xin didn't have much appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after eating two bites casually, and sat in front of the window looking out in a daze.

The agent's call brought her back to her senses.

"Xinxin, are you done filming?"

"It's over. ”

"You're at the hotel?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm coming to see you. I just arrived in Dongyang, and now I go to Hengdian and wait for me at the hotel. By the way, whatever you want to eat, I'll bring it to you......"

Jiang Xin was a little dizzy.

Her agent is a veteran agent, and she has brought a lot of artists, and there are several artists who are more popular than her, and one or two of them are younger than her and have great potential.

The agent's income mainly depends on the salary of the artists under him, so the more popular the artist, the higher the value and the more money the artist can get the attention of the agent.

This really can't be said that brokers are snobbish, and in other industries, the higher the profits, the more attention the supervisor and the company will be, which is a truth.

Her agent treated her quite well, and in the early years, he helped her win the starring role in two small productions, but unfortunately she didn't perform. Later, she also helped her receive some supporting roles in big productions, but she didn't become popular.

Then the agent's main energy gradually shifted to other popular artists, but at least she was guaranteed to have filming every year and could get a slightly more supporting role.

Tonight, the agent suddenly came to Hengdian to see him, and said that he would buy food for himself on the way...... It's a bit of an anomaly.

It wasn't far from Dongyang to Hengdian, and half an hour later, the agent came to Jiang Xin's room with hot ramen.

"Look at how thin you have become, haven't you eaten well these days? I bought you the Malan ramen that has just come out of the pot, hurry up and eat it while it's hot. ”

"Am I thin?"

Jiang Xin's words choked the agent enough, and the smile on his face was obviously solidified.

The agent has taken her for many years, knows her temperament, and doesn't care.

After she finished eating, she handed over a tissue and asked, "Is this scene going well?"

"It's going well, my role is finished on the fifth day of junior high school. ”

"Do you still have any contact with the cute people?"

A few years ago, during the filming of "Dragon Babu", Jiang Xin played "Mu Wanqing" in the play, and he knew Liu Tao, Qian Qian, and Deng Chao.

Qian Qian didn't like to talk much when she was in the crew, but Jiang Xin's relationship with Liu Tao and Deng Chao was not bad.

Later, Meng Ren filmed "Fairy Sword", and specially asked her to play the role of Nuyuan and Jiang Waner's mother and daughter.

At that time, the cute person was still a small bamboo raft, and Jiang Xin had not signed a contract with a brokerage company, let alone an agent.

Later, with an agent, Mengren almost never looked for Jiang Xin to film again, and the agent didn't think deeply about the relationship between Jiang Xin and Mengren.

Until this time, Mengren announced the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in a high-profile manner, and the agent had the intention to fight for several roles for his artists to trust relationships everywhere. As a result, I turned around and found that the Jiang Xin I brought seemed to have a relationship with the cute person.

I'll just say it!

Jiang Xin finally understood why his agent was weird tonight.

When questioned by her agent, she flatly denied it. As for the reason why Meng Ren asked her to shoot "Fairy Sword", she only said that because she filmed "Tianlong" together, she had a good relationship with Liu Tao and Deng Chao, so she got the opportunity.

The agent did not give up: "Do you still have contact with Liu Tao and Deng Chao now?"

"Uh...... Yes, but very little. ”

"That's enough. You can contact Liu Tao now and make an appointment to meet after the year. ”

It's not like that.

If you don't know people and lack direct communication channels, then find a reason first, and then spread it layer by layer until it reaches Li Hui or Mai Xiaoyu.

This routine is very common in the entertainment industry.

Buying and selling is not a business. Even if it doesn't work out this time, at least catch the line of cute people, and the next time you have the opportunity, it will be easier to communicate.

Jiang Xin was very hesitant.

The agent thought that she couldn't wipe her face and couldn't open her mouth, so she was induced by the side. said that this time it was not only for several other artists, but also for her.

There are many important roles in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the opportunity is rare, she has cooperated with Mengren, and is familiar with Liu Tao, Qianqian, Deng Chao, Hu Ji and others, and these people are the most popular stars under Mengren, and they are very heavy. If done right, she has a good chance of getting a significant role.

The agent was still persuading him, and Jiang Xin's mobile phone rang again.

Jiang Xin glanced at the caller ID, put his index finger in front of his mouth, "shhhhh

The agent is quite helpless. That is, she knew that Jiang Xin's personality was a bit two, otherwise she would have prejudiced Jiang Xin a long time ago.

"Hello?"

"Guess who I am?"

"You're all bored!"

"Looks like you have my phone on hand. ”

"Nope. ”

"That's when my voice is heard. You still remember me after all these years, so why haven't you contacted me all the time?"

"If you have something, just say it, I'll hang up if it's okay. ”

"With your temper, it's no wonder you haven't been popular for so many years. ”

"I hung up. ”

"Then you're missing out on a great opportunity. Our company plans to shoot "The Legend of Zhen Huan", you should have heard about it, someone from the crew will contact you after the year, you take the time to read the novel first and have a preparation. ”

"I haven't said yes yet. ”

"Would you say no?"

"It depends on the character. ”

"Hahaha! I finally understand why you haven't contacted me all the time, I took the initiative to call you, you still like to ignore it, you have such a two-hearted character, can your agent stand it?"

"I really hung up. ”

"Whatever you want, if you want to play it or not, I'll find someone else for the role of 'Concubine Hua'. ”

After that, Mai Xiaoyu hung up the phone first.

The agent next to her was half-understood, but Jiang Xin's words and tone couldn't help but make her think about it and frowned.

"Whose phone number?"

"No one. Jiang Xin put away his mobile phone, "Sister, have you watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Is the role of 'Concubine Hua' heavy?"

Of course it's heavy!

As a palace fighting drama, "Concubine Hua" is the third female and the big boss in the first half, do you need to say how heavy the scene is?

The agent suddenly remembered that when Jiang Xin called, he said, "It depends on what role."

Thinking of the news she heard again, before the cute drama was filmed, the cute boss Mai Xiaoyu often personally selected individual actors, and these actors may not be cute artists. For example, Li Youbin, who played "Li Yunlong" in "Bright Sword", and Sun Honglei, who played "Yu Zecheng" in "Latent......

Inexplicably, a little excited!

"Xinxin, the one who called you just now can't be the cute Mr. Mai, right?"
