Chapter 171: Rival in Love [Two in One]
"People's Choice Award?"
"Yes, People's Choice!" Both "Buried Alive" and "Hard Candy" were nominated for the most popular independent film, and both nominations were selected for a good number of votes.
There is basically no doubt that you will be selected, and if you are selected, you will likely become a champion.
Your wife, Scarlett Johansson, was nominated for Best Breakthrough Actress for "Buried Alive," and she was also named Favorite Movie Actress for several of her films this year.
The list will be announced soon, but the most important thing is that this year's People's Choice Awards has an award that has never been seen before, and this award is very likely yours. ”
Chen Tian didn't expect him to be invited to the award, which is one of Hollywood's oldest annual awards events.
Each award is voted for entirely by movie, television and music lovers, and represents a trend indicator in the United States.
There are many categories of People's Choice awards, and there are few fixed awards.
All the awards are voted for by viewers through the Internet, and have absolutely nothing to do with entertainment industry insiders, media reporters, and critics.
There is only one Most Popular Actor and Actress award fixed on the film awards, and the other awards are constantly changing.
There may be Best Actor and Actress this year, and next year it may become the Best Breakthrough Actor and Actress Award.
Sometimes there will be Best Screen Couple, Best Movie, Best Superhero, Best Movie Fan, and any movie-related award can be made.
However, in the history of the People's Choice Awards, there has never been an award for directors, and Chen Tian thought for a long time: "Is it related to the director?"
"Yes, it has to do with the director. The award is the most promising super director, and the award requires directors aged 30 and below.
You're currently in a good ranking. And you're still the youngest one. There is a good chance of winning a prize. ”
Chen Tian imagined going to the awards ceremony to win awards, including the Oscars.
Especially the last time Harvey Weinstein's words made him look forward to the award even more, but Chen Tian has never been so eager to win the award.
What Chen Tian has to do now is to do a good job in the present in a down-to-earth manner, and then think about the award.
As for Harvey Weinstein's operation of "Little Sunshine Beauty", Chen Tian also went with the flow.
"Tom, this news really came as a surprise to me. ”
"Don't be surprised, you deserve it, it means that you have the approval of the fans.
It's your strength. I guess Eric should have received the message. Tom Thornberg laughed and said, "Your actions last night made the other men feel a lot of pressure. ”
Tom Thornberg hung up with a smile as he received a call from Eric Lomis in disbelief.
"It's a tragedy, I thought I was the first person to sue you, but Tom got the first time out of me. The award is in January, and I'm sure you'll be able to win it.
But I have one more thing to say, and that is the sci-fi movie script you made for Scarlett yesterday. "Eric Lomis's main concern is this.
"This Man is from Earth" unbelievably exceeded 5,000 at the box office, which was completely unexpected by him.
He himself has watched "This Man is from Earth", and now the evaluation of this movie on the Internet is getting better and better.
IBDM is already on the verge of 7.9 points, and Rotten Tomatoes has also broken through 75% freshness. Not to mention that the media has mostly given it good reviews.
This film is a science fiction movie, and "The Moon" is also a science fiction movie.
Although Chen Tian did not reveal that "Moon" is a sci-fi of the genre of "This Man is from Earth". It's still a science fiction special effects production, but Eric Lomis believes that Chen Tian should not joke about the gift given to Scarlett.
Compared with what he did yesterday, and Chen Tian himself said that this film will bring Scarlett's acting skills to a new level, so he believes that this script must be excellent.
"Eric, it's still very early for this film, and the filming will be completed as early as my big production zuò, which is estimated to be this time next year or even a little later.
So I can't promise you now, you know my habits, and if I get it right, I won't fail to inform you. Chen Tian said with a smile.
Eric Lomis didn't expect to shoot so late, which was somewhat unexpected: "Then we'll talk about it later." ”
Chen Tian had just hung up the phone when his phone rang again.
Three phone calls in a row made Chen Tian instantly feel that he was the busiest person in the world.
Looking at Nicky Rocco's name on the phone screen, Chen Tian thought that he had also come to sue him for the People's Choice Award nomination and ask about the script of "Moon".
"Rocco, I know about my People's Choice nominations, Tom and Eric have already told me twice. ”
Chen Tian was the first to speak.
Nicky Rocco on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, he didn't know about it, but he didn't come for it: "Congratulations Justin, but I'm not suing you for this." ”
"That's for 'Moon'?"
"The Moon?" asked Nicky Rocco with a frown, and only then did he remember that the newspaper had reported that Chen Tian had given Scarlett a sci-fi script called "The Moon," "I'm not here for that, although I'm really interested."
I'm here for the song you sang yesterday, and Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, both of whom had a RAP some time ago.
Our music company around the world wanted me to help connect them and see if we could work together. ”
Chen Tian didn't expect Nicky Rocco to help Universal Music, and he never thought about releasing these three songs.
Broadcasting music videos on NBC is more for the promotion of the movie than for the actual distribution.
"I just wrote and played by myself, and I didn't think about it. Chen Tian said truthfully.
"Oh, Justin, are you trying to make those professional musicians kill themselves?
You can play at such a high level, and how terrifying you are in music when you get so serious. Nicky Rocco laughed and quipped, "Justin, you go online." How many people want to know what this song you sang last night was?
You've now successfully crossed the border. So I got this assignment. ”
"Okay. Make an appointment and I can talk. ”
Nicky Rocco breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Tian's answer, but Dan Fellman was not in the mood.
He had already found Chen Tian's contact information, but he still did not contact Chen Tian at the first time.
Compared with Dan Fellman, Chen Tian met with the marketing manager of Universal Music and music experts that afternoon.
"Justin, I think you could consider crossover singing.
Yesterday I listened to your song. It's really good. Sam Johnny, a music expert from all over the world, said sincerely.
He happened to be at the Staples scene yesterday, and although the scene was far inferior to the music facilities when the concert was held, Chen Tian sang really well.
In his opinion, with good professional guidance and re-singing, that song will definitely be able to improve a notch.
What's more, the arrangement and lyrics of the song are very good, even if Chen Tian himself is unwilling to sing, he also bought the copyright to sing it for his singers under Universal.
"Singing is just my little hobby. My homepage is still a movie. ”
"It doesn't stop you from making movies, you just have to take half a day to record a song once in a while. Isn't it?
If you really don't want to, you can just record the song from last night, and I'm sure you'll be able to compete for Billboard when it comes out. ”
Although the song "LivingToLoveYou" is famous, Chen Tian never imagined that the song could reach the point of competing for the billboard after his revision.
"Justin, I hope you've thought about it seriously, and you know where we stand in the music industry.
And you and we also work together on film, don't you? I wish we could work a little bit closer.
If you're really not interested in developing a music career, then we want to get the rights to it, and if you want to, like Johnny said, we'll help. Mars Benson, the manager of the global marketing department on the side, continued.
"And if you need help with your film music, we can help too, and we can even have our singers sing it. ”
Benson's last sentence is very attractive to Chen Tian, there are many super singers under Universal, and the music of a movie is very important, and a good opening and ending song can even drive the box office.
At this moment, Chen Tian thought that this song was written by her to express her love to Scarlett, and Oliver in "Little Sunshine Beauty" also got the love of the family.
If this song is not popular, Universal should not come to him.
What if the lyrics of the song were changed and a new version of the song could be released?
Chen Tian thinks that it should be of great help to the promotion of the sunshine little beauty, and if he cooperates with Universal, it will be possible to cooperate in the future.
Seeing Chen Tian thinking, the two smiled, and they hoped that they could cooperate successfully.
Chen Tian paid attention and raised his head to look at the two people in front of him: "Sam, Mars, I agree to cooperate with you."
I don't want to give you the copyright of this song, but I can authorize it, and I agree with you to adapt it or invite others to sing it, and of course if you need me, I can too.
However, I need to pay for this license. ”
"Of course, the cost is for sure. Mars didn't think that Chen Tian would be free, as long as the license fee did not exceed $100,000.
Before he came, he thought that if the song was fully copyrighted, he could accept no more than 500,000 yuan.
"$1. ”
"$1? Justin, are you sure you're right?" Mars asked, staring at Chen Tian.
"Of course not, it's $1. But I hope you don't forget the help you gave me. ”
Chen Tian wanted to exchange $1 for Universal Music's favor and the possibility of long-term cooperation.
For example, if one of their superstars releases an album in the future, they can use this to promote the movie.
When their fans buy their records and get recommendations from their idols, then they are likely to go to theaters.
Or ask their singers to sing, or ask them to help with the soundtrack.
"Of course, and we'll talk to you if we're using it for commercial purposes.
So, Justin, would you like to re-record yourself? I think you can still improve. Sam Johnny asked.
"I'd be willing to try if I could. However, on the basis of the re-recording, I am also going to re-arrange the lyrics. Even tweak the tune. I don't really understand it myself. That's why you guys are needed. ”
"There's no problem with that, as long as you have time, you can go to Universal Music at any time. Mars Benson replied with a smile.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Universal Music announced on its official website that it would collaborate with Chen Tian to release the single "LivingToLoveYou".
A compilation album will be released in November, which will include Chen Tian's song and the rap singles of Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, as well as the original soundtrack of "Buried Alive", "Super Burger King", "Hard Candy" and "This Man is from Earth".
Universal also announced that there will be special tracks on this record.
Announced without a clue about the record. Reservations will be accepted on the official website tomorrow morning.
The top 500 people who book in advance will receive two movie tickets for "This Man is from Earth" and two movie tickets for "Little Sunshine Beauty", and will get Chen Tian's autograph.
The release of the record is the mention of Mars Benson, and 30% of the revenue from the record will be distributed to Chen Tian.
For this suggestion, Chen Tian did not refuse.
Originally, he didn't plan to release a record, but now that someone is getting it for him, why wouldn't he do it.
As for how much to sell, that's not his concern.
When the news was announced on Universal Music's official website, it was 11 a.m. on the 23rd in Melbourne.
Natalie Portman has just finished shooting a set of shots, and today's shooting starts at 4 a.m.
She didn't have time to focus on anything else. Absolutely unaware of what is happening on the American side.
"Natalie, do you know what happened in Los Angeles last night?" Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker, walked to Natalie Portman's temporary resting place with a newspaper.
Despite the fact that it was November. But the temperature in Melbourne is still in summer, and the temperature is almost 15 degrees Celsius when it comes in the early morning, and the temperature has reached 34 degrees Celsius at this moment.
Natalie Portman's makeup is blooming a little on her face, and the dressing room is waiting to touch up her makeup.
"Is there something big going on?" said Natalie Portman, putting down the water in her hand and picking up a banana to replenish her energy.
"Of course, it's a romantic thing. Hayden Christensen laughs, "A man sang a song he wrote for his woman at the middle of the Staples game yesterday and gave her a script.
After the game, he got down from the air in a helicopter with a seat belt strapped, and then took roses and a super diamond ring worth 2.5 million to propose. The female makeup artist on the side was already listening to it, and her eyes were full of stars.
And that's not the end of it, he also spent 10 million to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills as a love nest, and then gave a red Humvee. ”
"It's really rich, that woman must be very happy. The female makeup artist sighed.
"It's like a movie, it's crazy. Natalie Portman sighed with a smile, but she didn't show much interest, she didn't like to be so public.
Hayden Christensen was secretly proud that he and Natalie Portman met three years ago during the filming of "Planet 2".
At that time, he had a crush on Natalie Portman, but unfortunately he never had the courage, and the two were very famous.
Now he starred in "Planet Prequel" again, and he himself won the award with "Under the Eaves of Love", and his fame is much higher than before.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to pursue Natalie Portman, and this time in Melbourne to shoot some shots was his best chance.
However, some rumors about Chen Tian and Natalie Portman in the newspaper, as well as Natalie Portman's own answers to the gossip questions of the crew, made him feel that Chen Tian and Natalie Portman were not normal.
Today he saw the newspaper Chen Tian's birthday present to Scarlett Johansson, which made him think of the possibility of severing Natalie Portman and Chen Tian, so he came here.
"Natalie, do you know who the hero and heroine of this are? ”
"I know?" said Natalie Portman, intrigued.
She called Scarlett at twelve o'clock the night before to congratulate Scarlett on her birthday according to Melbourne time, so she didn't think about the cause of the jet lag for a while.
"Justin Chan and Scarlett Johansson, the whole country and the world have made a splash. Hayden Christensen smiled and handed the newspaper to Natalie Portman.
The newspaper is the Melbourne Times, but it also has a detailed account of what happened yesterday in Staples on the entertainment section.
Natalie Portman took the newspaper and flipped to the entertainment section.
She didn't expect it to be Chen Tian and Scarlett Johansson, looking at the pictures and text Natalie Portman could feel a little strange in her heart.
I don't know if it's envy or blessing, or something else, it makes her feel incredible, she never imagined that she would have obvious fluctuations in her heart because of other people and other things.
"It must be a blessing. She said to herself.
Natalie Portman "Mannie is so happy, Justin this guy did a good job, Hayden thank you for telling me the news, otherwise I wouldn't have known they would have told me for such a big thing." ”
"It must be a fake smile, I'll ask her out at night. Hayden Christensen looked at Natalie Portman's smile and said, "I knew you were friends, so I gave it to you, but I didn't expect them to sue you." ”
Looking at the back of Hayden Christensen's departure, Natalie Portman glanced at the newspaper, which showed Chen Tian holding Scarlett Johansson into the air.
"Happy, isn't it?" said Natalie Portman with a smile to the makeup artist next to her.
"Yes, just listening to me makes Scarlett feel so happy. ”
"Touch up my makeup!" Natalie Portman whispered, then closed her eyes.
The makeup artist immediately took the newspaper from Natalie Portman's hand, but Natalie Portman still felt like the newspaper was in front of her eyes.
Chen Tian didn't know that he had become an imaginary rival of an actor. (To be continued......)
