Chapter 51: Oriental Leaves

Although the surname Luo has the same surname as the male protagonist in many Long Aotian-style novels, Jude Law's life is obviously not carried out according to the protagonist's template, typical high and low. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info was able to be the protagonist when he first debuted in the film industry, and with his good appearance and the director's strong support, he also gained a lot of fans, but later he gradually drifted away on the road to the second male lead because of the problem of not being a person and the vision of film selection.

I don't know if it's because of the psychological pressure caused by repeated failures, or because I don't know moderation in life, Jude Law's image is also getting worse day by day, and the hairline is getting farther and farther back, and the beer belly is gradually unable to cover it. After losing the advantage of image, he was even more unable to win the favor of casting directors, and if he wanted to play the second male lead, he had to compete with others, in short, this is an actor who is not very happy in Hollywood.

"Let's go eat. Liang Baoguang didn't pay much attention to this, let go of Jude Law's hand, patted Natalie Portman on the shoulder, and called Quan Duyan to go to the place they had previously made an appointment on the phone, shaking his head as he walked, showing a very disappointed look, "It's a pity." ”

Quan Duyan was confused by Liang Baoguang's performance, and he didn't know where he was playing, "What is a pity?"

"It's a pity that I originally thought that he was gay and gay, which was very suitable for the setting of my next movie, but people didn't look down on me. "Liang Baoguang also talked to Natalie Portman yesterday, I really can't find anyone to let Jude Law play the second male lead in his new movie, she can help persuade the other party to reduce the salary a little, but today such a play is obviously unlikely to cooperate again, Liang Baoguang is a very arrogant person.

Because he spoke to Jeon Do-yeon in Korean, Liang Baoguang didn't even shy away from the people next to him, forgiving them for not understanding Korean.

What is Jude Law's best work? Apparently "Wilde's Lover", in which he plays a male favorite who is spoiled by a big writer who comes out of the closet, and judging by the few roles he plays later, he either has an explosion of acting skills at that time, or he is acting in his true colors. Liang Baoguang believes in the latter situation even more, he wants to give Jude Law another chance to play in his true colors, but people don't want it.

"Is the new movie still a literary film?" Jeon Do-yeon is looking forward to Liang Baoguang's next work, and if possible, she wants to work with him again, although this will be labeled as a new series, which will easily make local film production and distribution companies such as CJ Entertainment unhappy, but what does it matter? As a double actress of the Blue Dragon Award and the Daejong Award, she has achieved the ultimate as an actress in South Korea, and she can only go downhill if she continues to be trapped in the small peninsula, and she is not even 35 years old at this time, far from the age to play the safety card.

"Yes, there is no channel for big productions for the time being. "The so-called big-budget movies are not made just with money, when it comes to grand scenes or need to use surface buildings, you have to deal with the official to apply for a shooting permit, and the eight giants of Hollywood can easily handle it wherever they go, and some unfamous film production companies are likely not to buy it even if they have money.

Liang Baoguang doesn't have to go all the way to the dark on the road of literature and art, he also wants to do some big productions and even directly become the king of Hollywood, with a budget of two or three hundred million dollars per work and a box office of eight or nine billion dollars. But the road is taken step by step, and the rice is also eaten one bite at a time, the world is chasing literary films with small costs and small feelings, but they don't know that the shooting difficulty of large-budget commercial films is so high that they don't know where to go, he not only has no production channels for commercial films at this time, but also has no ability.

Feeling that Liang Baoguang didn't want to talk about the new script, Quan Duyan shifted the topic to the Cannes Film Festival very interestingly, "Baoguang, do you think Nuna has a good chance of winning the award this time, if he can win the Cannes Film Queen, even if he retires now, he will be willing." ”

The Cannes Film Festival implements the concept of "sharing the cake" very thoroughly, and the awards are very evenly distributed every year, and there is never a situation where one film wins several awards, but this does not show that it is fair and just, but proves that the jury considers something other than the film when judging the awards. What has made the authority of the Cannes Film Festival is their persistence for decades, everyone has figured out their pulse, and they are also willing to participate in this kind of cake-sharing activity, and it is this fixed model that gives the outside world the possibility of "matching the seats" of each award in advance.

Even if you compare the 20 films shortlisted for the main election unit, "Miryang" is also of the top level, but the producer of this film is Xinsheng Entertainment, a production company that has made dozens of Fengyue movies, and the distribution company is the little-known CinemaService, which can't provide support for the film awards, and the awards are basically not to be thought about. The standard of the work is so high, and the Palme d'Or or even the Grand Jury Award cannot be won, it is bound to be compensated in other aspects, so the award for Best Actress is more reliable.

Quan Do-yeon has the temperament of a movie queen, the crying scene in "Miryang" is the most glorious performance in her life, and after the movie test screening, professional film critics all sighed at the strength of her acting skills, even if the language barrier is still able to receive enough emotional transmission from her every expression and action. has excellent acting skills, and his vision for film selection is very unique, and if he can't win a movie, he can only say that he is not a crime of war.

As the director of the movie, Liang Baoguang also hopes to help Quan Duyan win the Cannes actress the most, he thinks this way is not more willing to achieve others, in fact, it is also for his own consideration. Because it has always only focused on the relationship between literary and artistic films, the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival is not very important for directors, after all, no matter how powerful it is, it is a niche film, and if you can't make a lot of money, you can't get into the eyes of film giants. But the titles of Cannes actor and actress are very tempting for actors, actors can not be divided into literary and artistic businesses, as long as Liang Baoguang successfully pushes Quan Duyan to the throne of Cannes actress, actors will come to the door to beg him for cooperation in the future.

"Nuna, don't worry, this year's Cannes actress doesn't dare to say that it's 100% yours, but at least she's 70% sure. Liang Baoguang knows those unspoken rules, don't look at him as just a young newcomer, but with his growth experience, he has seen everything he should see.

"Then does "Blueberry Night" have a chance to win the award, director Wong Kar-wai is the person who won the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, he should be very recognized here, right?" Seeing Jude Law, Quan Do-yeon thought of "Blueberry Night" starring him, Wong Kar-wai, as one of the representative directors of Hong Kong films in the 90s, still has a great reputation in South Korea, at that time, Korean local films were not strong, and almost everyone loved to watch Hong Kong films.

"Poof, haven't you seen the movie?" Liang Baoguang laughed without image, but it is impossible for anyone with a little level of appreciation to ask this kind of question, the reason why Quan Duyan asked this is purely because she was bluffed by the other party's name, "The structure of this "Blueberry Night" is fragmented, the plot is confusing, the characters are empty and exaggerated, the whole is like fog, rain and wind, it is not like a movie, can it win the Palme d'Or?"

"It's not as bad as you say, after all, it's in the main competition unit. "Quan Duyan doesn't dare to talk about a senior director of Wong Kar-wai's level, although she does think that "Blueberry Night" is not very good, but the great reputation of people is there, what if their appreciation level is not enough to see the merits?

Liang Baoguang doesn't care about the relationship between generations like Koreans, a sinister villain who has staged many revenge dramas in the past twenty or thirty years, a person who won an award and said that he insisted on hitting the street, claiming that the audience did not understand his reputation in the world of light and shadow, and a capricious person who changed it at will after he was deceived into investing and was prevented from it, and scolded the investor for excessive interference, and he could not be recognized by him with his bad character and low personality alone." Haven't you read the movie reviews in the past few days, those who say that he is pretentious have already shown mercy for the sake of his status in the rivers and lakes, and it would be more appropriate for me to write the so-called four words. ”

"People have also won the best director at the Cannes Film Festival. Jeon Do-yeon thinks that the Cannes Film Festival, as one of the three major international film festivals, is quite convincing in its awards.

"And then?" Liang Baoguang smiled and shook his head, some questions are different, but there are also some issues that should not be divided.

Some people say that Wong Kar-wai's films always have distinctive characteristics of the times, reflecting the inner world of Hong Kong people at that time, but these people who casually draw conclusions for the sake of praise cannot tell any real difference between the films made by director Wong in the late 80s and his works after the millennium. Could it be that more than 20 years have passed, and the inner world of Hong Kong people has not changed at all as in his movies? Liang Baoguang said that no matter what Hong Kong people's hearts are, there is no fluctuation in his heart anyway, and he even wants to laugh.

Of course, movies are the same as drinking drinks, there is no absolute right or wrong, only different preferences, everyone says that Coke is delicious, but some people love to drink Sprite, and some people just think that the oriental leaves are fresh and refined, and there is an indescribable literary fan, and a sip of beep has improved a lot.

After eating, Liang Baoguang went back to the hotel, Natalie Portman left first, and called him to explain in the evening, she was also a little unaccustomed to Jude Law's arrogance. However, Liang Baoguang didn't pay attention to it at all, he was not in the mood to be angry with an actor at the moment, so he wrote down a few numbers for Natalie Portmancha and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, not long after Liang Baoguang, who was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, sat down, Quan Duyan hurriedly walked over, "Baoguang, look at the news." ”
