Chapter 382: Oscar
This year's Oscars will be held in mid-May. Now in early April, there is still more than a month for major movies to build momentum and canvass votes.
Among the many films selected this year, there is only one film from China, and that is Titanic. At the same time, this is also the highest-grossing one.
is so high that all the box office of other movies can be combined to compete with Big Boat.
This is a weird guy.
At least in the hearts of many directors of selected films, they regard Titanic as the strongest opponent, and there is no one.
These directors once fantasized that since the box office can't compare to your big ship, they will overpower you by awards!
However, after recognizing the reality, they still gave up this unrealistic idea.
The box office of $2.5 billion is not a joke, the movie is not a classic, can it take so much?
It's not just that they don't seem to be able to compare, but almost everyone around the world thinks that Big Ship is going to have a monopoly on the awards it has been nominated for!
American netizens: "There is no comparison, Titanic is definitely the biggest winner, it surpasses other movies much, much." ”
French netizens: "The ending is doomed, Oscar Night will belong to the Titanic." ”
The United Kingdom, South Korea, island countries, and countries with developed films, people have identified the Titanic.
Huaxia netizens spared no effort to support Han Qiu and Da Chuan: "Hahaha, we announce that this year's Oscars have been occupied by the Titanic!
Compared with the optimism of the people in the world, Han Qiu looked sullen. Oliver reminded him that this time Hollywood and the Oscars are going to reorganize him, a Chinese director.
Maybe Ofune can get the best picture, but his best director hangs in the balance.
Fortunately, the Oscars are not too excessive, knowing that if you don't give Han Qiu the best director, you can come back with a lot of words, but if you don't give the best picture to Ofune, it will cause public outrage.
After all, people are far more familiar with the big boat than Han Qiu, the behind-the-scenes director, and even Xiao Lizi and Kate are more well-known than him. Watching movies without watching the director is a common problem for many audiences.
is also in China, Han Qiu's fame is not inferior to that of any star.
"Do I have to get a nationality in the United States in order for me to win the best director?" Han Qiu looked up to the sky and sighed, wishing that he would also have a world-famous film award in Huaxia, and all American directors were excluded.
.......
April and January passed in a hurry, and Han Qiu didn't do anything big this month, just arranged for the release of Huaxian Animation's latest movie.
"Kung Fu Panda" has been fully produced so far, and has won the dragon mark issued by radio and television.
This animated film is full of strong Chinese style, but it is the first work of Huaxian Animation to become famous in the world!
In the previous life, the Yankees used to borrow Chinese culture to conquer the world, but this time without the help of the Yankees, Huaxian himself can complete it.
In fact, in addition to food and rich history and culture, there is also kung fu in Chinese culture. As everyone knows, in the Asian circle, especially in island countries and South Korea, the most popular Chinese movies are kung fu action movies.
In particular, South Korea and island countries have specially introduced this kind of film. Because in the world, only Chinese people make kung fu movies.
This is a unique feature of Chinese films.
It's just that the Chinese directors didn't take advantage of it. However, CCTV in the previous life made a kung fu masterpiece, which caused huge repercussions in both China and the United States.
It's just that this is a TV series called: "The Legend of Bruce Lee". After this short-lived experience, kung fu movies declined again.
Now Han Qiu wants to make good use of this advantage, and strive to make Huaxian Kung Fu popular in the world, and at the same time, let Huaxian animation enter the field of vision of the people of the world.
Finally, the Chinese side is scheduled to be released on Children's Day, and the United States side is distributed by Warner, which will be released in the summer. This time, Warner is purely issued, and the money is as much as it should be.
After getting all this, the time came to the beginning of May, and Han Qiu also packed up and prepared to go to the United States. At the same time, Yuan Meng also rushed to the Demon Capital to meet Han Qiu, preparing to go together.
Yuan Meng was nominated for the Oscar for Best Cinematography, and of course she will attend this awards ceremony.
On the 4th, after the Labor Day holiday, Han Qiu and Yuan Meng came to the United States.
He was greeted by his old friend Oliver, who was enthusiastic, but still couldn't hide his guilt.
"Autumn, this Oscar ...... I'm so sorry to let you hear that. In the café, Oliver said apologetically with a look of guilt between his eyebrows.
Han Qiu frowned and sighed, "Is this news true? Oscar is really going to suppress me?"
"Anyway, Hollywood is ready to suppress you, of course, we Warner are not involved, how to say that we are also Warner and the producer. Oliver said helplessly, "As for the Oscars, I don't know too much, but according to the influence of the Hollywood giants, maybe they can really pull you down from the best director." ”
"Isn't Oscar afraid of being complained about by the audience?"
Oliver shrugged: "Some of those judges are their people, and we Warner have also grabbed the judges' seats, which is an 'extraordinary measure', although the number of votes held by a company does not play an absolute role, but if they join forces, then you are in danger." ”
Han Qiu: "......" He really wants to ask now, is this a behind-the-scenes manipulation?
Oliver still comforted: "Don't worry too much, it's just dangerous, it's not absolutely impossible, after all, the judges of several major companies have far less than half of the votes, they only have a small influence, as long as you have the support of the majority of the people." ”
"How easy is this?" Han Qiu smiled bitterly, "Those old guys in the academic school don't watch the box office, and besides, I'm still a Chinese, so forget it, and the theme of the big ship is love, this theme is not popular at the Oscars, will they vote for me?"
Han Qiu still knows that Oscar's favorite is still the socio-political type, which has a strong humanistic flavor and is very high. But sometimes, the Oscars also adapt to the times and society.
In his previous life, Shawshank nominated so many awards, but he didn't win a single award, and all of them were taken away by Forrest Gump, which was actually the product of the Oscars in order to conform to the strong anti-war sentiment that had long permeated American society and to soothe the pain of the Vietnam War.
I really think that Shawshank is not as good as Forrest Gump?
In the final analysis, it shouldn't appear in the same year as Forrest Gump, it shouldn't have participated in that year's Oscars, it shouldn't be an enemy of Forrest Gump, if it is another year, it will be the biggest winner, the absolute winner, there is no one.
Hearing Han Qiu's words, Oliver sighed, "I can't say that, love is an eternal topic, Oscar just doesn't like vulgar love, the love of the big ship is very classic, and those rigid old guys will still give face." ”
"I hope so. Han Qiu shook his head, still unhappy in his heart, he was originally nine out of ten, and Hollywood had to get involved, so that the best director this time was full of suspense.
......
After getting a piece of news from Oliver that was neither too good nor too bad, Han Qiu said goodbye to Oliver and left in a sad mood.
Han Qiu still has a glimmer of hope now, he hopes that those old guys from the academy can see the voice of the masses at such a high level as the big ship, and they can give themselves a little face.
Don't you like to conform to the times? Then this time, let's conform to the voice of the masses.
This year's Oscars were held on the 15th, and these days, Han Qiu is visiting old friends in Los Angeles.
Heath, Annie, Natalie, Hugo, as well as Little Plum and Kate, among others.
After Heath learned that Han Qiu was shortlisted for Best Director, he gave Han Qiu a hug full of encouragement: "Han Banxian, I believe in you, the best director must be you." ”
"Thank you, I wish you were the judge of the Oscars. Han Qiu said with a smile.
Heath raised an eyebrow: "I'm sorry, I'm too young for Oscar to take me." ”
Han Qiu: "....." young... You can still say this when you play the clown, now like me, you are all uncles, and you are still pretending to be tender?
In addition, when she met Natalie, the eldest girl complained to Han Qiu a lot. Because she was also selected for Best Actress, but in front of Ruth, she felt unprecedented despair.
"Director Han, why didn't you choose me to play Ruth in the first place? ”
"Uh.... Didn't you be filming at the beginning, so I didn't invite you. ”
Natalie snorted a few times, but she didn't mess around. Sometimes, opportunities are fleeting in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for Kate's perseverance in roses, maybe Ruth would be a different person now.
Later, when Han Qiu made an appointment to meet Xiao Lizi, this guy came with Kate.
Seeing their sweet appearance, in a trance, Han Qiu seemed to see Jack and Ruth again.
In the end, Han Qiu had to complain a few words in his heart, this pair of "dog men and women" actually showed affection in front of me. Damn, believe it or not, I'll pull your little plum to shoot the Broken Back Mountain, and see if you still show affection.
A few days have passed in a flash, and on the 15th, the Oscars are about to take place!
In the evening, Han Qiu, Yuan Meng, Xiao Lizi and other actors, as well as a series of nominated personnel from the crew, came to the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
Under the long guns and short cannons of the media, everyone walked through the red carpet one after another.
There is no doubt that the crowd is the focus of the reporters, and in front of the big ship, all the rest of the films have to be overshadowed.
In the big boat, the most eye-catching thing is not Han Qiu, but Xiao Li Zi and Kate holding hands together.
These two people can be said to have attracted all the shots that the reporter gave to the big boat, and they couldn't even pull Han Qiu back.
Jack died in the movie, but now he is standing next to Ruth alive, but it is missed by countless reporters who have been sad and wept.
Aside from being journalists, they are also just ordinary spectators, and they also shed tears for the love between Jack and Ruth.
It's not about identity, it's about love.
Therefore, most of the cheers for Xiao Li Zi and Kate are not their real names, but....
"Jack, Ruth, I love you!"
"Jack, I love you to death, you are the most romantic man in the world. ”
"Ruth, you are my goddess. ”
“you jump,I jump!”
As soon as this slogan was shouted, outside the red carpet crowded with people, all the same calls rang out one after another.
“you jump,I jump!”
“you jump,I jump!”
The sound swept through the street like a wave, and some emotional spectators shed tears......
Feeling the blessings of everyone, Kate was moved and burst into tears, so she had to cover her lips and try her best to cover up her gaffe.
Han Qiu, who was reduced to a supporting role on the side, not only did not feel jealous, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Maybe that's the power of love. ”
"Hopefully... It will help me win Best Director!"
