Chapter 426: Self-inflicted affection
Let Infernal Affairs enter the Oscars, this is one of Ye Luo's ideas. As for whether it can be done, he is not sure now, or this is not within his consideration, but he just thinks that it is man-made. Fighting, than not fighting, is always a little more hope.
There are three requirements for the selection of Oscar films (non-best foreign language films): one is that it has been screened in the United States, the second is that the investor must have an American film company, and the third is that the language is English.
If two or more of these conditions are met, there is actually hope to compete with Hollywood blockbusters. Based on these and American versions of "Infernal Affairs", Ye Luo won the award, and Ye Luo had this luxury.
"Oscar, I wouldn't dare ——, dream like this!"
Although Cannes, Berlin, and Venice are the three old European film festivals that can be regarded as international awards, and the Oscars are only played by the Americans themselves, the influence of the latter is more impactful than the first three.
This is determined by the market, Hollywood, the temple of world cinema, which director and actor does not aspire to it?
Mai Zhaohui didn't know what to say for a while, he really couldn't imagine that Ye Luo would put forward such an unbounded idea, but he couldn't give it up.
"Dreams are always done before they can be realized! We work hard in a good direction, and whether we can achieve it depends on the will of God. ”
"Arlo is right, he is the owner of the money, we will improve it again. ”
"Uncle Liu, it's an out-of-the-box statement, it's just a proposal!"
Liu Weiqiao was true in a joke, but Ye Luo couldn't admit that he was pressing the two of them with his identity.
"Good proposals, of course, I have to listen to them. In that case, what about the money?"
Lau Weiqiang and Mak Chiu-fai are most concerned about the issue of investment, more money and less money, and the quality of the films they shoot is never the same.
"Rest assured, no matter what your budget is, you can meet it!"
In this regard, Ye Luo didn't want to talk about it, it was true that these two were celebrities, but after the crew was formed, Ye Luo must be caught in his hands on finances.
After negotiating on the big things, the three of them turned back to the script.
"I think let's go back and show the script to Director Du, You Naihai and Ye Tianchen in the Galaxy Image are all good at this kind of story. ”
Mai Zhaohui was also influenced by Du Qifeng when he wrote the script, and now he naturally thinks of this again. Liu Weiqiao also agreed, if it is said that in police and bandit movies, Galaxy Imaging is definitely the leader in the industry.
"Gunfire", "Dark Flower", "Dark War", "True Hero", "Very Suddenly", etc., are all classics.
"Lord Wang, phone! Sister Mei's!"
While talking, Bai Meiyu walked over with her mobile phone.
"Hehe, Amei should have just remembered!"
Liu Weiqiao said happily, although it was a little late, but he always remembered what he trusted, which made him quite happy.
"Hey, Sister Mei, have you been tired lately? Pay attention to rest! Shall I send you two wild ginseng plants? Haha——, invest in movies, the people have arrived, and the negotiation is all over, ah-"
Ye Luo turned to look at Liu Weiqiao and the two, his face was a little unnatural, but it disappeared in a flash, these two were in excitement, and Lai Shuiqing was talking on the side, so he didn't pay much attention.
"Cheng, I know, I will definitely invest! Don't worry! In this case, you can rest first!"
"Amei has been very tired lately, and her concerts have been held eight times in a row. ”
Seeing Ye Luo put down the phone, Liu Weiqiao said. Since Mei Yanshu took the initiative to invest in Ye Luo's place, he naturally had to say something to show concern in front of Ye Luo.
"Yes, I knew it was going so well, so we wouldn't bother her, I guess I called you just after I woke up. ”
Mak Zhaohui helped.
However, there is a love that is called self-inflicted affection. These two people are completely thinking badly.
——
"Why are you depressed, you were still fine on stage just now?"
In the rest area of the Red Pavilion, Mei Yanshu looked at Zhang Guorong with a somewhat sluggish expression, and couldn't help but care. For this, she really regards it as her own person, and the two of them have supported each other all the way in the entertainment industry, and their feelings are more than ordinary friendship than family affection.
In the afternoon, Zhang Guorong rushed from Qingdao to her concert to help, which once again sublimated the relationship between the two. The stage is intimate and cooperative, but I don't want to completely change the other party's look when I get off the stage.
It's not tired, it's tired.
"Hey, don't talk about it. ”
Zhang Guorong sighed, lit a white Marlboro (he always smoked this sign), and then stopped talking.
"What the hell is going on? You're going to kill me!"
Through the smoke ring, looking at Zhang Guorong's helpless and lost face, Mei Yanshu was also very entangled. She knows that this person who is closer than her brother has recently suffered from some mild depression because of the filming of "Different Space", and for this reason, she is even more worried that the other party is depressed, which is not conducive to the improvement of her condition.
"My movie looks like it's going to run aground!"
Zhang Guorong spat out the smoke ring and said, then sighed again. "Stealing the Heart" is his transformation work, and it is also a way for him to relieve depression, and he understands his own condition.
I just don't want to, but I encounter troubles. As soon as I think of this, all the unpleasantness comes to mind, and the ridicule of the reporters and the incomprehensible gazes of others become clear one by one.
"What the hell is going on? Say it, and it's going to be fine!"
As soon as she heard that it was a movie, Anita Mui suddenly came with confidence, as long as it wasn't because of Tang Sheng, she would always have a way.
The reason for the story is very simple, mainly because Shi Xue No. 2 of Gem Pictures, the investor of "Stealing Hearts", was arrested for embezzlement and his funds were frozen. All preparations will be put on hold because of this, so that Zhang Guorong's enthusiasm is like being doused with cold water.
If it was the first two years, it would have had little effect on him, but now that he is suffering from mild depression, he is prone to thinking to extremes.
What's more, he's a perfectionist. On weekdays, because of the problem of orientation, he can talk to Shi Xue and others, but he doesn't want the other party to be an opportunist, which hurts him emotionally.
So, I was even more depressed, stranded for my movie "Stealing Hearts", and also for the sake of not knowing anyone, and making friends carelessly. Moreover, these made him have self-doubt in his heart and became extremely unconfident.
(Zhang Guorong said to Zhang Yanyu at his friend Shangshan Shina's wedding banquet the day before, "I am very eager to cooperate with you again, but maybe I am not handsome enough to play your lover", which shows that he has some self-doubt)
"The movie thing, you should continue to do it, you will go back to Qingdao the day after tomorrow, there is no problem with the funds, you don't have to worry about the preparation, you have someone to help you!"
Listening to Zhang Guorong's slowly confiding heart, Mei Yanshu made a decision immediately.
"I'm not short of money, and you don't have to call me!"
The investor's funds are gone, and the problem caused is not too big, and Zhang Guorong himself has saved more than 100 million over the years. The biggest impact is in the construction of the crew, he is too busy alone, and his newly established "Dream United" production company does not have enough personnel.
It's not his style to ask for help from other companies, and besides, which company isn't for profit? When the time comes, when the time comes to shoot and criticize him, is that still his work? It's not beautiful.
"I won't give it to you! Haha, you are in the dark, how can you forget my apprentice, who is also half of your disciple! I will hang up the phone for him tomorrow, don't worry, he will take your affairs to heart, and when you return to Qingdao, everything should be in place!
Don't feel awkward, I don't know why, Xiao Luo is full of respect for you. For him, this must be a willingness to help from the heart.
Moreover, his phantom is now worried that he has no script! Investing in you is also good for his company! A win-win situation!"
Zhang Guorong does not look for other companies, and there is also this reason. Now that Hong Kong's film market is in decline, no company will take on any external work, and if you do some comedy, you can save your capital.
And the commercial atmosphere of his films has faded a little, and there are definitely not many people who are willing to take over.
