Chapter 0670 - Best Foreign Language Film Award for Nothing
After the theme of DreamWorks' TV series introduced the background setting of the Xiangjiang police, in addition to launching "Xinzha Senior Brother", a work that revolves around personal struggle and grievances, it also created "101 Arrest Warrant" around the story of the police solving the case.
The widespread adoption of DNA identification is the trend of the times, and it is not impossible to put a soft advertisement in the TV series first.
Tang Huan's intentions may be easier to understand by using the relatively famous TVB TV series "Clearing Grievances" and "Forensic Pioneer" in the original time and space as examples.
However, he has long since lost the time to work on large-scale works such as TV series and movies, and occasionally dabbles in short and concise music songs.
So, Tang Huan picked up the pen, concisely described the ideas he had come up with on the manuscript paper, and then casually put them into the file bag labeled "Xiangjiang".
Doing some such trivial work and taking a break, Tang Huan spent more than ten hours of travel time very fulfilled and came to Tokyo, Japan.
Japanese Tetsuru, Epson, EA, Taito, Yamaha Musical Instruments...... and other factions' subordinates, come over to greet them.
Do they like flattery or want to show off their strong lineup? Of course not, the yen's appreciation promoted by the Gain Plaza Accord is actually a windfall. A fire suddenly burned in everyone's chest, and it was difficult to pour out the excitement in their hearts without finding a reason to get together.
Tang Huan naturally saw the eagerness of his subordinates, and immediately said in accordance with the public opinion: "Charter, a high-end place for dinner, everyone is happy together." ”
Yasukawa Hideaki and others replied in succession: "Prepare immediately, and you will be satisfied." ”
Tang Huan laughed loudly, "I am second, and the key is to be satisfied with everyone." ”
Because of the special cultural atmosphere, men in the Japanese workplace. In fact, it is quite depressing, so this party that does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, drinks and talks, and even dissolutes is very popular.
When Nakato Mori and other artists under Warner Japan performed on stage, Tang Huan casually asked Akio Nakanishi, the president of Taidong. "How's going at EA Theme Park?"
In fact, because everyone attaches great importance to "business", it works perfectly, but those "small things" that belong to the corners but also have a unique role need Tang Huan's special attention.
Akio Nakanishi straightened his waist and replied solemnly: "EA Theme Park is arranging a new "Three Kingdoms" themed project, and with the hot sales of the game "Three Kingdoms" and the release of "Tomb Phantom 2: Eight Formations" during the Christmas period, it will definitely steal a lot of business from Disneyland. ”
Tang Huan bowed slightly, "I heard about some of the props used in the filming of "Phantom of the Tomb 2: Eight Arrays". Already shipped to EA Theme Park?"
"The Three Kingdoms area that EA theme park will open, in addition to echoing the game "Three Kingdoms" according to convention, is also closely related to the movie "Phantom of the Tomb 2: Eight Arrays", which involves some elements, such as Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled car, Kong Ming lantern, wooden ox flowing horse, Zhuge crossbow, eight array diagram, etc., EA theme park also has to be referenced, so some props were specially transported. Akio Nakanishi explained carefully.
"Then I'm going to see it tomorrow. Tang Huan couldn't help but say curiously.
In order to shoot a big-budget movie, it is necessary to drive economic development. "Phantom of the Tomb 2: Eight Arrays" was mainly filmed in the Yucheng area of southwest China.
In order to create a sense of epicness, in addition to regular props such as armor and weapons. DreamWorks also made some special items based on folklore, including wooden oxen and flowing horses, Zhuge crossbows, etc. Of course, its substance is closer to a toy, but you can't see it in the movie.
According to the plan, after the filming of "Phantom of the Tomb 2: Eight Arrays" is completed, DreamWorks will use these props to build an amusement park in Chongqing. Unexpectedly, EA Theme Parks took the lead in asking for a batch of resources.
Because Yucheng is far inland. When Tang Huan arrived in China this year, he didn't travel thousands of miles to visit the class, so that curiosity had accumulated to a strong enough level.
The richest man has one idea at a time, and with a wave of resources, he has established the project "Phantom of the Tomb 2: Eight Arrays", and hundreds of people have worked hard for it. The authority and achievements displayed in it can be imagined, no matter how indifferent Tang Huan is, it is inevitable that he will be concerned, and the Three Kingdoms District, which EA Theme Park is preparing, can just alleviate this emotion.
The actual situation did not disappoint Tang Huan, who knew more about Disneyland, and after a little comparison, he came to a positive conclusion that his EA theme park has many advantages.
After hearing the news, Toho and some other Japanese film companies also rushed over to make a familiar face in front of Tang Huan. People in the Guy circle have felt that this Three Kingdoms fever is menacing, and judging from the experience of "Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor", the sequel "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Arrays", which also has the participation of many Japanese artists, will definitely perform even better, this is a business opportunity.
Tang Huan said in a joking tone: "DreamWorks' "Jingwu Heroes" has just won $40 million at the box office in the United States, which is a record, so it is better for you to use it first, and it can be regarded as a warm-up." ”
The "Jingwu Heroes" starring Bruce Lee was originally released in Japan, and Tang Huan plans to let "Jingwu Heroes", which has the same theme as the same line, also come to Japan to toss around and see what interesting reactions will happen.
After getting a preliminary understanding of the details of "Jingwu Heroes", Dongbao did not immediately express his position, but asked tentatively: "How sure is that "Forsaken" that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?"
"I didn't open the Oscars, how dare I guarantee 100 percent. Tang Huan spread his hands, "I can only say, let's work hard together." ”
In order to raise the awareness of the Oscars in the hearts of audiences around the world, the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was created in 1947.
In the first few years, it was awarded directly in the form of an honorary Oscar to some outstanding foreign films, or to be more precise, non-English films.
This state lasted for nine years, and from 1956 onwards, the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film became a competition. Formal development of evaluation methods.
Generally speaking, the Oscars are voted on by a professional committee, including the Actors Committee, the Directors Committee, etc., to vote for the shortlist, and finally the winners are voted for by all members.
But the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is a little different from the other Oscars. A separate judging committee is in charge of selecting the shortlist by a small jury, and then the members who have participated in the screening of foreign language films select the winning films.
Arguably. Compared with the Oscars selected by the vast majority of the general public, the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, which are selected by a small number of jurymen, have more room to operate.
For example, for a long time, the Academy of Motion Pictures in the United States would only invite each country to nominate a feature film to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, thus forming a rule that "each country recommends a film", which has attracted a lot of criticism.
After all, prolific European countries such as France, Italy, and Spain often produce enough films to get several nominations. However, because of this regulation, only one nomination can be obtained.
Another frustration is that this system makes it possible for films nominated by each country to be affected by political or other aspects, such as not being recommended by the state due to political factors, or having the opportunity to sign up be obtained by a more accessible director or studio.
Of course, countries that have benefited from this by producing small films are proponents of this system. Because it is able to protect itself against the prolific country of cinema.
In a nutshell, the rough process is: From getting the opportunity to be recommended, to being in the eyes of the judges, and being eligible for nominations, until an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is just released.
Judging from the results of previous editions, the winners belong to France, Italy, and other European countries with prolific films. As for Japan, it is only at the stage of honorable mentions at the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. They won "Rashomon" in 1951, "Hell Gate" in 1954, and "Miyamoto Musashi" in 1955.
If I have to do anything with it, the closest Japan came to winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film was in 1975, when Japan's co-production of "Desu Uzara" won the eventually.
Over the past 30 years, Japan has been nominated more than 10 times. But I always hugged the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which was restructured into a competition.
It is not difficult to imagine that with the backing of strong economic strength, Japan's coveting of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is increasing day by day, but unfortunately it always hits a wall, and Americans don't buy it, not to mention how disappointed they are.
In this case, Tang Huan funded an independent film about Japanese orphans, Japanese nationals or Japanese Manchurian immigrants abandoned in Chinese mainland during the retreat and repatriation of the Japanese Kwantung Army in 1945, most of whom were part of Japan's national policy immigration program at the time.
You know, because of Japan's ambitions, the number of this group is quite impressive.
In 1950, the Japanese government counted 26,492 people stranded in Northeast China, and by 1958 there were 22,187 people.
In 1959, the Japanese government promulgated the "Law on Special Measures for Non-Returnees", declaring those who had not been returned in China as wartime deaths, giving 30,000 yen to their families, and canceling their household registration.
To put it bluntly, the Japanese government has given up on these people.
After the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare treated them differently, that is, at the end of World War II, Japanese people who were adopted by Chinese during the withdrawal and repatriation of Japanese troops from Chinese mainland and were defined as orphans, and Japanese citizens under the age of 13 were issued Japanese nationality and assisted in returning to China;
In 1985, that is, in March of this year, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare formulated a set of "identity guarantor system" for overseas Japanese who have left Chinese in China, stipulating that Japanese overseas Chinese who have left Chinese must obtain the consent of their Japanese relatives before they can reside in Japan. However, for a variety of reasons, many people refuse to be "identity guarantors".
It is only 40 years since the end of World War II, and a large number of the parties involved are still alive, so this issue is still of great concern in Japanese society.
In addition, even if the Japanese overseas Chinese can return to Japan through the thresholds set by the Japanese government, it does not mean that they can live a life like heaven.
Obviously, due to the long-term living in China and the separation from Japanese society, many of them lost their ability to work after returning to Japan.
At the same time, due to social discrimination and financial burden, it is not accepted by Japanese families, which also causes the estrangement between Japanese families who have left Chinese and Japanese families.
In short, the Japanese who returned to Japan did not receive assistance from their Japanese families, and could only receive monthly government relief funds, making a difficult living, becoming the lowest level of Japanese society, and even becoming a member of a gang.
How ironic it is that Japan encouraged its own citizens to move to Northeast China for colonial rule, and now it is ironic that these people can be relied upon and delayed.
Tang Huan is very "kind" to plan to give Japan an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for nothing, to satisfy their vanity that has swelled dramatically because of economic glory, but this theme is about to reveal its scars!
For this film, Tang Huan has made a lot of preparations, such as collecting materials in China, especially from the perspective of a Japanese person, standing in the position of a Japanese person, to deeply reflect, this director selection can be described as painstaking.
