Chapter 534: Vase
Li Mo thought of several other movies.
When he heard that the railroad crew was shortlisted, he asked Liu Wanruo to buy the other four nominated film tapes together, and deliberately took the time to watch it.
In terms of visibility, the railroad workers are not as good as the big-nosed saints. In terms of irony, the railroad is not as good as "Open Heart". In terms of depth, it is not as good as "Journey of Hope", and among the five movies, that is, "I'm Not a Bad Girl" is slightly weaker.
The other four, no matter which one is selected, will not come as a surprise.
As for "Ju Dou".
As a Wumao, I won't pay attention to Lao Mouzi's early movies.
Even Li Mo thinks so, because what Westerners like to see is an ugly and ignorant China, so these films can win many awards. Some directors deliberately shoot such themes and send them abroad for awards, that is, they are more or less suspected of deliberately shooting these films that scandalize and smear China's image to please Westerners and win awards to increase their own fame.
There is also the Nobel Prize, which was forced by China's pressure, and the Nobel Committee compromised to give China a literary prize, but it was still not tricky...... Let's see what Mr. Mo Da wrote!
Li Mo didn't think about "Ju Dou", but he thought about it, and he didn't think that this film that deliberately highlighted the sexual repression of Chinese women and the cold and vulgar style of *** could win this award.
Even because of the Wumao mentality, in his eyes, Ju Dou is not as good as the German one, I am not a bad girl.
No one else can wait for him to sit there and think about the reason.
Li Mo walked on stage and said: "I used to watch "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and I admired the invincibility, luck, and noble sentiments of the protagonist Indiana Jones. β
In the three Raiders of the Lost Ark, the treasures captured by the protagonist were either handed over to the U.S. government, or handed over to the locals, or they could not be taken away, which is also the most.
According to the laws of each country, these treasures belong either to the local government or to private individuals.
It's okay to hand it over to the U.S. government, but in the key reality, how many people can do it?
This is a commercial film, it's not interesting to be serious, Li Mo just used it as an opening statement.
"Seeing that the protagonist can have a lot of wealth, but always live a poor life, and then work hard for various reasons, I am really anxious. β
The camera immediately focused on Lao Si, who was making fun of Lao Si, and everyone finally smiled.
"But in reality, whether you have this great sentiment or not, but if you want to get it, you will pay, pay your sweat, pay your wisdom, of course, you may also be lucky, gold bricks fell from the sky, and now what is falling from the sky is not a gold brick, but a small gold man, which fell in front of me, Mr. Hoffman, is it made of gold?"
What is this little golden man made of?
Originally, it was bronze gilding, but due to lack of resources during World War II, it was changed to gypsum, and later polished by tin-antimony copper alloy, then plated with gold leaf, and coated with luminous paint on the outside, which is the material of the little gold man. Although some gold leaf is used, the cost is only a few hundred dollars.
Li Mo is just making a good-natured joke, no one cares how much it costs, what he cares about is this honor. And Li Mo kindly said a truth in this joke, if you want to get it, you must pay, even if Li Mo won the Best Foreign Language Film Award this time, there was some luck, at least "Big Nose Love Saint" and "Journey of Hope" are not worse than his railroad workers, but Li Mo also paid wisdom.
As for using Mandarin to give a speech, Li Mo didn't think about it at all.
He has also become an authentic utilitarian, is face important, or is it important to be inside?
However, there is one problem that viewers sitting in front of the TV have noticed.
Li Mo said that the world has lost gold, but in fact, his expression was very calm from beginning to end, and he couldn't see any surprises.
For the time being, not many people know the relationship between Li Mo and Le Yijuan, and the camera also swept to Le Yijuan.
What does Le Yijuan think?
Isn't it just an award, what's so great about her genius "brother".
She smiled slightly, clapped her hands twice, and frost regained her face.
So the next day, the media joked, it's not a family, it's not a family, one is a calm brother, the other is a cold sister, and the brother and sister are just matched.
To be fair, a bonus.
The three movies have their own autumn colors, but the Oscars are also a place where seniority is discussed, and Li Mo is young after all.
The reason why Li Mo is calm is that in his heart, the idea of this movie is not his, he will not be unhappy if he does not win the award, and it is not his ability to win the award.
However, ABC backstage noticed a set of data, this year's ceremony, the ratings were very ordinary at the beginning, whether there were any viewers who really resisted, or how many viewers really resisted, ABC didn't know, but with Li Mo personally participating, I believe that even if someone boycotts, they will not boycott.
Subsequently, the ratings continued to rise, reaching nearly 60 million viewers when Li Mo won the Best Foreign Language Film Award. At this time, the ratings of the Oscars are still very high, and it is also the most watched program in North America, with a normal audience of more than 40 million to 50 million.
Li Mo's movies are liked by many audiences, but the ratings are so high, which mainly produces a controversial topic, that is, whether the Oscar organizing committee will continue to suppress Li Mo.
As Li Mo won the best foreign language film, this answer was also clear, not suppressed, and very fair.
It's very fair, it's actually taking care of it, and in Li Mo's words, it's "giving in".
Li Mo thanked at this time: "Thank you to the judges of the Oscar Organizing Committee for their love, thank my relatives and friends for their help to me over the years, and thank you to the audience for their support to me. β
Isn't it true that California is one of the most China-friendly states among the U.S. states, and that the two great powers maintain peaceful and friendly relations?
There was another round of applause below.
In short, Li Mo behaves decently, humorously, with an upward spirit, self-humility, and a gentle attitude, at least Li Mo is still the impression of many Li Mo fans.
Li Mo walked down.
There is also a small cliffhanger.
The award presentation continues.
"The Day to Wait" won Best Documentary Short Film, "American Dream" won Best Documentary Feature, and the last award, Best Film, went to "Dances with Wolves", which was also the biggest winner of the evening.
However, "The Silence of the Lambs" is not bad, although it only won three awards, only half of the number of Dances with Wolves, but all of them are important awards.
After the Oscars ceremony, the feast has just begun, but everyone is no longer together, all kinds of celebration banquets, cocktail parties......
There are some exceptions this year.
Li Mo asked Hao Lik to charter the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles in advance, it was not all-inclusive, some tenants stayed for a long time, and some tenants booked rooms in advance.
It has nothing to do with the Oscar jury's "unyielding", even if they continue to suppress Li Mo, there will be this super-large drinking party.
Mr. Hollick invited a lot of people, including executives from several of Mr. Limer's companies, some important business partners, some clients with large investments in three funds, and some politicians in Los Angeles.
This is outside the circle, within the circle, Li Mo also invited executives from several major public television stations, various film companies, not only seven major film companies, but also more than a dozen executives of medium-sized film companies such as the new line, as well as some stars and directors who have dealings with or have a certain number of well-known works.
There are also two departments in this circle, which are ignored by ordinary audiences, major distribution companies, and various theater chains, if these two aspects do not have a good relationship, your movie will have to be finished.
Of course, as long as you don't intend to have a bad relationship with them, and the movie you make is good, people won't make things difficult for you, and no one will get along with money.
The number of people invited reached more than 1,200, but some of them were really not available, so they did not come.
After the Oscar ceremony, Li Mo also kindly said to the other people present that they were welcome to come to the reception.
Although I didn't send someone to send you an invitation, I did invite you, and it's up to you whether you come or not.
Not everyone came, and many people had other arrangements, but many people also came, bringing the party to more than 2,000 people.
There are so many people that there is certainly not enough lobby space, but in the United States, this is not a problem.
The hotel removed the parking lot and plaza from the outside early on, and then hung up the lanterns, rented a large number of tables and chairs, and a grand cocktail party could be held. And eat, drink, and play, this five-star luxury hotel has a room, just go in to rest, Li Mo is also resting in this hotel tonight, you can do it if you want to......
Li Mo came to the Four Seasons Hotel in advance, and there were already many guests, and Li Mo also knew many people and greeted them one by one.
is a businessman, you can't learn to be happy and cold, you have to be like Ma Yun, exquisite.
After a while, a large army came.
This was a source of much frustration for many media reporters, who quickly got out of their taxis or cars, took cameras and kept taking pictures.
Li Mo took Le Yijuan to greet them one by one.
Roberts took her fiancΓ© Kiefer Sutherland by the arm, got out of the car, saw Li Mo, and said bitterly, "Li ......"
It's just not a nomination, it's just a name, two nominations and two defeats, you can think of the depression in her heart.
"Roberts, I'm optimistic about you, you'll have a chance. Li Mo comforted.
If he had to be ranked, Nicole would definitely be number one, Roberts number two, and Jodie Foster number three, but the acting was the opposite.
In fact, Li Mo is also mistaken, Judy is not as beautiful as the first two at the moment, but everyone is running for three, and she is five years older. At the same age, she was not as good as Nicole, but she was not much worse than Roberts. However, in terms of acting, Roberts is not much worse than Judy. But in terms of Yili endorsement, Nicole must be better.
Not only these three actors, but also many good actresses in Hollywood, which can also be called a cash cow, but Li Mo is not greedy, there are many artists under it, resources are limited, and if he fights hard, he will recruit other economic companies unhappily, and it is not worth it, so there are not many artists signed, and Li Mo is still thinking about the idea of a few small flowers after the 80s, so his artists are enough.
Although it is a little less, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and the smart Roberts obviously felt this too, hugged Li Mo and said, "Boss, no matter what, I still have to thank you." β
Changed to the boss.
Gratitude is also divided into two meanings.
On the first floor, when Li Mo chose her as her female companion, she was not famous, and it was precisely because Li Mo chose her as a female companion that she attracted the attention of various film companies, and there was the popularity of "Pretty Woman".
The second layer is this resource.
Because there are few artists, Kit Gray can carefully build for every artist.
Create one, salary.
It's definitely unfair if the salary is less, but if there is more, you will be hated! Why did the Chinese fresh meat later make the ordinary audience hate it so much, one is that there is no acting skills, the other is that there is no acting skills and desperately cuts out pictures, not dedicated, and the third is a big man, Qiao Feng can't do it, at least he can't learn from women, a girl's smell, and his face is still rubbed with thick white powder, maybe the rotten girls like it, anyway, Li Mo feels very sick to his stomach when he looks at it, and often thinks of some people in the ancient palace, as well as the Sunflower Treasure Book, even if Depp cocks his orchid finger, no one will say that he is more like a woman than a woman, and the fourth is that the salary is super high.
Nicole also suffered from this disease, she was quite dedicated, at least she didn't cut out the picture, but because the box office was not ideal, the salary had to be high, so it caused many people to be disgusted. Her breakup with Tom has its own faults, but because she has become a box office poison and the salary is unreasonable, some neutral people directly denounced her for hugging Tom's thigh.
This salary must be reasonable, it must not be less, but it can't be too high, in fact, it is a little less, and one more film is also in it, but it is different to give people a view.
Create two, pick the piece.
There are few artists, coupled with Li Mo's relationship with Hollywood, as well as the blockbusters he planned, other economic companies can't compete with Li Mo.
Just a few people, they still have their own private lives, entertainment, interviews, endorsements, how much time can they spare in the rest, even if they are iron men, they can take on several films a year. Unless it's cutout, it's a stand-in anyway, so what's the difference between taking a hundred, a thousand, a thousand, a thousand, a thousand, a trillion, and a trillion?
Because of these connections, Gray has the leeway to pick and choose scripts. Whether it is a starring role or a supporting role, it must be suitable for the role of an artist, just like Jim Carrey, if he is asked to play "Mission Impossible", a blockbuster, of course he will be happy, but Jim Carrey-style agent ...... How beautiful that picture must be.
Create three, endorsement.
Endorsement is also a lot of income, but you can't accept all endorsements, the same, you have to conform to your own image.
Although none of these artists won a statuette, they quickly became popular, not only recognized by the audience, but also received a lot of endorsement fees. That is, not only is it red, but at least all the waist bags are bulging.
There are others, such as a relatively small commission, not indiscriminately investing in artists, and some are not investing, but drinking blood, such as Tyson's economic company, and so on.
Roberts was very satisfied with these practices.
"My own people, no thanks. β
After a while, Mr. and Mrs. Tom also got out of the car and walked over.
"Lee, can you start filming that 'Troubled Times in Australia'?" Nicole said.
Li Mo made a sex and erotic film, although her performance in the magic capital was clearly repositioned, but Nicole made it even more awkward.
Is she so arrogant, so shameless?
The big win of "Dances with Wolves" tonight made her feel hot in the eyes, in a sense, the two films have similar themes.
Li Mo was stunned for a moment.
In the previous life, among the movies starring Nicole, this movie was wonderful.
But......
He still remembers that director Buzz Ruhrmann said before filming began that this film would be as grand as "Gone with the Wind", "Out of Africa" and "The Legend of Giants".
But he thought too much.
It seems that the box office is okay, but compared to its investment, the producer can only keep the money. In addition to the poor box office, the reputation is not good.
Li Mo still remembers that someone commented that the film had several hard wounds.
It's too long, the length reaches 160 minutes, but it's not too long, but there are too many things that the director wants to express, and there are 7 items of love, war, race, survival, nature, civilization, and barbarism.
The love scene between the two protagonists is almost a clone of "Gone with the Wind", and the lack of dramatic conflict makes the meeting, acquaintance, and love between the two unforeshadowed, which is very abrupt, and the overly idealistic ending does not resonate with the audience.
The director puts what should have belonged to the two protagonists to the return of the biracial child, who has been interspersed with the love story of the two, but this greatly reduces the realistic style of the film.
As a blockbuster, "big" is mainly reflected in the two sections of "Cattle Driving" and "Japanese Bombing", which are also highlights that leave a deep impression on the audience. After "driving the cow", Mrs. Ashley fulfilled her dream and gained love with Drover, and the film should have ended perfectly, while "Japanese bombing" is redundant, the purpose is nothing more than to consolidate the protagonist's love and pave the way for the final fate of the child, but it weakens the theme and adds to the snake.
In order to show the empty boundaries of Australia, photographers often use overhead shots to slowly move the lens to capture the galloping cattle on the Australian continent. Cowboys riding out of the pasture and lonely trees at sunset, every shot is as poetic as an oil painting. It's a pity that the level of computer stunts is not high, and the picture cut out by the film with blue sets is too fake, and it is difficult for the audience to integrate into the atmosphere it should be.
These can be modified, even if it's a cow, now the computer stunts are worse, but it's really not good, you can dance with a wolf, a real shot.
As for what is not needed, you can reduce the shots, or simply delete them, which can reduce the screen time and make the story more compact.
Including directing questions.
Buzz is also a good director, such as his "Moulin Rouge", "Romeo and Juliet", "The Great Gatsby", but he is not suitable for similar Westerns.
However, there is a good director right now, Kevin Costner.
If it weren't for Kevin Costner's omnipotence, the future water world would have been pounced, and although he was not dominant, it had a lot to do with him. However, he was more suitable for making these Western-themed films, such as his later film "Heaven and Earth Infinite", although due to lack of funds, he could not fully develop his ideas, but won a round of applause.
It doesn't have much to do with Australia, anyway, it's a white-themed movie, isn't it worse than "Out of Africa", where the story takes place in Africa?
Of course, it is definitely not as strong as the sense of substitution in the United States, but if it is handled well, at least it has a better response than "Australian Troubled Times" directed by Buzz.
However, the main problem lies in Nicole's acting skills, after watching the movie, many people reacted that Nicole's performance was very contrived, such as when she first met Drover at the beginning of the film, she used body language such as screaming and stomping to show the reserved and aristocratic spirit of the characters, giving people the feeling that they were watching a stage play.
China's current movies also have this problem, so when Li Mo made those two movies, he repeatedly emphasized that it should be natural, don't think that performing a drama on the stage refers to this.
In addition, in the "Singing for Boys" scene, her performance was unnatural, and even the audience was embarrassed for her.
This problem can also be overcome, and the actor has been changed.
But the actors have all been replaced, what else is Nicole?
Thinking of this, Li Mo said in his heart, dare to love this beautiful lord in front of him, she is the biggest vase......
