"What's so strange about that?" Abel Warner put his hands open on the couch at either end. [Full text reading] chapters are updated the fastest

"It's not surprising." "Strangely, he has already announced to the media that he will win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film," said Hasson. ”

"Oh......?" Abel Warner's eyebrows raised slightly, and he thought for a moment:

"Hawkeye, have you recently found out what connection he has with the other Big Six?"

"There is no ......" Hasen still lowered his gaze: "There is news that China's Wanda Group is in contact with AMC Cinemas and seems to have the intention of acquiring it, and Wanda Group has a very close relationship with Gu Xiaofan." ”

"Interesting." Abel Warner's eyes narrowed: "Does this guy really want to come to Hollywood and set up his own business?" Moki, you check, what are the most promising films to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year? Got ours? ”

Moki said in a deep voice: ""Badr and Mainhoff" has not yet been released in Germany, "Between the Walls" has not been released in France, the Austrian film "Revenge", and Israel's "Dancing with Bash" ...... I've already seen all of these films, and the possibility of being shortlisted is very high. ”

Abel Warner nodded: "Oh, I remember, "Dances with Bash" was made by that Ali Foreman, who has mentioned him to me before, it seems that Sony and we are both interested in releasing it in North America, right?" ”

"Yes." Mokido.

"Okay, let's buy the distribution rights of this film." Abel Warner made the decision: "Let the PR department start lobbying now, I want to get this film on the nominee list and win as many awards as possible." "'Dances with Bash' is the most popular genre in Israel and Hollywood, and with a strong lobbying team, the film will have a very high record of winning awards.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Moki nodded, and Hassan bowed out of the room.

As soon as the two of them left the room, Moki asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Hasson, why did you mention that Gu Xiaofan's voice, don't you feel a little fussed?" Even if we don't do anything, do you think he really has a chance to break into the U.S. market like Ang Lee? ”

Hasson did this, causing their production department to have a lot of extra work, which made Moki a little dissatisfied.

"Who knows? This movie has not been made, we still have to be careful, Gu Xiaofan is not a simple person, after all, Abel hopes to get "The Dark Knight" and "A Song of Ice and Fire". ”

With that, Hasan didn't continue to talk to Moki, and walked to the stairwell on his own, then picked up his phone and dialed a call.

"Lady Cadilgen, there is good news, yes...... Abel is ready to get his hands dirty, and the film he supports is "Dancing with Bash...... As we agreed, as long as Gu Xiaofan can beat "Dancing with Bashi" head-on and win the best foreign language film, then you should support me as agreed......"

A female voice with a British accent came from the other side of the phone: "Then what do you think he has a chance of winning this time?" ”

Hassen's smile full of * and intrigue emerged: "I don't know, I guess there's a good chance of failure." ”

"And what do you want me to prepare?" The British female voice over there said strangely.

"No, you don't know that Gu Xiaofan, he is the same person as me." Hasson smiled:

"Even if he doesn't succeed this time, he will come again next time, and if he doesn't succeed next time, then he will become stronger and reappear next time, I expect that in five years at most, he will reach this goal, and after five years, your daughter should also be an adult, right?"

"You're such a complete asshole." The woman on the other end of the line laughed.

"Thanks for the compliment." After hanging up the phone with a smile, Hasson dialed another lobbying firm and began to prepare for the lobbying work for the nomination of "The Undertaker".

Gu Xiaofan is really an interesting person, shouting that he wants to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, is he shouting to his side?

Hasen couldn't help laughing, and admired Gu Xiaofan's courage in his heart, so that no matter whether he succeeded or not, at least let those wavering shareholders see his determination.

It may not be possible to win this time, but as long as he can be nominated, things will go in the direction he expected.

The only thing that surprised Hasen was that Gu Xiaofan was too anxious, and as soon as he went back, he couldn't wait to participate in this Oscar, it was only 4 months, and there was really little hope for such a hasty work to win the award.

In the midst of controversy, the time soon came to the end of September, Gu Xiaofan arranged everything in an orderly manner, because it was adapted from a Japanese theme, the art was extremely important, and Gu Xiaofan also invited Zhang Shuping, the Hong Kong art director who had just finished filming "Let the Bullets Fly".

The art director of Wong Kar-wai, whose grasp of color and shape is second to none in the Chinese film industry.

In order to determine the costume styles of several leading actors and build the shooting scenes, Zhang Shuping and Gu Xiaofan worked together to produce 21 thick and exquisite landscape scripts.

Filmmakers all know that the sentence "The picture and atmosphere are the synthesis of the director's personal preferences" is very reasonable, although it is also a "mortuary", but the Japanese shoot and Gu Xiaofan shoot, the style is completely different.

The most intuitive difference here is the color of the lens, Japanese movies give people a very simple picture, lively but very nostalgic, so that the viewer is like entering a warm and nostalgic cabin, warm and calm.

However, Gu Xiaofan's movie picture feels that kind of vivid vitality and vividness, even in the face of the theme of "death", he can also shoot a mesmerizing beauty.

Of course, all this is also based on Zhang Shuping's strong artistic creativity, if he usually only needs to put forward ideas, Zhang Shuping can present the picture in his mind in various ways.

After everything was arranged, except for the cameo actors, all the crew of "The Undertaker" arrived and held a start-up ceremony.

After the start-up, Gu Xiaofan was not in a hurry to let everyone start filming, but began to rehearse the work in the early stage, unlike the previous works, this time the story is mainly based on the emotional communication of the characters, and the interaction between the characters is far more delicate than all the previous works, so the rehearsal process is much more detailed, and the entire script has to be done countless times.

When others were rehearsing, Gu Xiaofan and Zhou Runfa were different, and they didn't speak the script, but Gu Xiaofan followed Zhou Yanfa every day, imitating his gestures, and the two of them kept repeating the action of sorting out makeup in front of a dummy model every day.

Even late at night...... It's creepy, often late at night, when everyone gets up to go to the toilet, they all see that in the shooting location, two figures are still sitting silently with the same set of actions.

The plot of the early shooting is very easy, for experienced actors like Gu Xiaofan, Gao Yuanyuan, and Zhou Yanfa, these plots are all familiar with each other, and there is no difficulty, the only difficulty is in the airport scene played by Gu Xiaofan and playing the cello, and this does not seem to be a problem for Gu Xiaofan at all, the director's colorful talent does not seem to be impossible.

On the other hand, with the launch of "The Undertaker", Phoenix Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV, and Danmaku Network also began to unite and secretly conducted a national singer audition.

The first "The Voice of China" is quietly unfolding, and everything is moving forward smoothly according to Gu Xiaofan's plan......
