Shen Lian, who ended his first concert tour, felt indescribable. A person's unremitting efforts for a goal have finally come to an end. At the moment of completion, the thoughts in my heart are always flying in the sky.

"Next is the dubbing of "Wind and Cloud"." Seeing that Shen Lian was a little depressed, Zhang Ting was also a little unbearable. Even she had the urge to call and cancel the recording of the Olympic songs "Stand Up" and "Beijing Welcomes You". But reason tells her that no.

"Sister Tracy." Shen Lian suddenly said in a loud voice.

"Huh?" Zhang Ting hurriedly replied.

"If I don't renew my contract with the company after my contract expires next year and open my own studio, will you come and help me?" Shen Lian asked.

"How could you have such an idea?" Shen Lian, the dragon, will fly into the sky sooner or later. But Zhang Ting's idea must be to lay a solid foundation, and she is thinking about this aspect of things.

"The format of the concert really doesn't suit me. Music, I probably won't touch too much on it. I want to control my time, work, and life by myself. Shen Lian said: "Concentrate on the development of film and television. It's the path for me. As for those songs, just sing them for Zitong and Song Qian. ”

"Generally speaking, the company will negotiate with the artist about the renewal of the contract a year and a half before the end of the contract. In other words, after the filming of your "District 9" is over, the company will start discussing this issue. If you decide not to renew your contract, there are two possibilities for the company to do next. ”

"Try your best to squeeze out the last bit of value in me, and do your best to pile up work to force me to comply. Refrigerate me and don't give me any slice appointments. "Everybody knows this trick.

"Not bad." Zhang Ting did not deny it.

"But Sister Tracy, I think there's something you should know." Zhang Ting told herself so clearly, it was obvious that she was on her side.

"Huh?"

"I signed a contract with the company at that time, and I didn't take any signing money, if I start a lawsuit......" Shen Lian said his bargaining chips.

Because his family background is good, and he sold two songs to the Tang people, Shen Lian has never been short of money, if it weren't for the acquisition of the copyright of "Qin Shi Mingyue", Shen Lian's debut would have been so hard. It is precisely because of this that if Shen Lian goes to legal proceedings with the company, the economic cost of terminating the contract will definitely not be too much.

"Theoretically, that's true, but Shen Lian, doing so will break your relationship with Orange Sky. And it also has a great impact on your reputation, do you want to go to Huayi? Zhang Ting was skeptical. If Shen Lian wanted to go to Huayi, it would be difficult for her to stand on the same side as him.

"No, I'm more interested in setting up my own studio. Anchored in Orange Sky. Shen Lian explained. If you really want to go to Huayi, you might as well stay in Orange Sky.

"Same as Fan Binbin?" The same is true of the cooperation model between Fan Binbin and the company. Or rather, the first-line celebrities are all going down this road.

"Well, this is the general trend, and no one can stop it." Shen Lian did not deny it.

"I can promise you now that if you are determined to do so, I will be on your side, but only if you have a good face in District 9 and Witness no matter what." Zhang Ting first made a promise to Shen Lian, and then gave a kind reminder of herself.

"Well, the key is the results of the next few plays." Shen Lian also has a very clear understanding. The key lies in the box office and word-of-mouth of the next few movies. If it really wants to be refrigerated, then the one that can help Shen Lian keep the lower limit of his exposure in 09 is "District 9".

In terms of resources, Shen Lian has his own advantages on the one hand. Chen Xinxin and Er Dongsheng like to use themselves very much, and the cooperation with the emperor is also very tacit. Speaking of actors, Liang Chaowei is willing to come to the concert and invite himself to the wedding, if he really wants to encounter any trouble, it is not impossible to take himself, Liu Dehua, Li Lianjie, Jackie Chan These bigwigs have cooperated and the relationship is okay. Even if Shen Lian hits the street in the future, at least the film appointment is no problem.

On March 18, the Academy Awards announced the shortlist for the 27th Academy Awards. Shen Lian's "Casting a Name" and "Disciple" were also shortlisted for the top five best films, as well as Johnny To's "Detective", Xu Anhua's "Auntie's Postmodern Life", and You Naihai's "Tracking". "Casting a Name" was praised as the biggest hit, after all, it was a movie that directly broke the box office record.

In terms of candidates for the best actor, the three male protagonists of "Vote for Fame" Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, and Shen Lian were all shortlisted, becoming the first film with three people to be shortlisted for the best actor. And Shen Lian's shortlisting was unexpected by many people. Ren Ahua and Liu Qingyun occupied the other two places, and the king Guo Fucheng regrettably lost the election. The most favored are Li Lianjie and Liu Qingyun, while Shen Lianli beat Ren Dahua and Liu Dehua to be ranked third.

Zhang Jing, who shined in "Disciple", was shortlisted as a candidate for the actress, and she mainly competed with Mao Shunjun, Siqin Gaowa, Liu Ruoyin and Cai Zhuoyan. Compared with the fierce competition for actors, the competition for actresses is mainly between Zhang Jingchu and Siqin Gaowa. The other three had no chance at all.

The five nominees for Best Director are the five directors for Best Picture. is still regarded as the bag of "Casting Names".

The competition for Best Supporting Actor was mainly born between the two supporting actors of "The Disciple", Liu Dehua and Louis Koo, and the others had little chance. And Yuan Yongyi was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "Disciple".

Because of the lack of Hong Kong team, "Lust and Caution" unfortunately missed the nomination for this Academy Awards. Otherwise, Liang Chaowei's actor title will have one more. In Shen Lian's view, "Lust and Caution" is a film that can be included in the top of Chinese film history.

After the list of nominees came out, the media also had their own interpretations of the list announced at the Academy Awards. The all-encompassing trend of "Casting Names" is inevitable. The three leading actors being shortlisted at the same time may cause a certain number of votes, but the group has obvious advantages, and the fact that the three leading actors are nominated for the best actor at the same time is a compliment to this movie. I believe that the awards will not be left behind, and in the competition for best director and best picture, "Casting Names", which has spent a lot of money, will definitely be more popular than other films. Although "Disciple" is also a film created by Er Dongsheng, the restrictions on investment make the film still have some regrets in many aspects.

However, even if he missed the actor award, Shen Lian also created history. Because of the language, generally mainland actors do not dub the Hong Kong films they participate in, so even if they have excellent performances, they generally do not meet the nomination for Best Actor, and Shen Lian, who dubbed the Cantonese version of "Vote for Fame", became the first mainland actor to be nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards (Jet Li was nominated for a Singapore passport). And he is also a post-80s actor among the first Academy Award Actor candidates. This is a positive achievement for Shen Lian, who achieved a bumper harvest in 2007.

However, Shen Lian at least knows that in essence, the probability of winning his award is very low. Qualifications are one thing, and the performance has not reached the point where it obviously wins others, and with the identity of a mainland actor, it is still a bit difficult to win the award, after all, the actor is not the same as the Best Supporting Actor and Best Newcomer Award. Even so, Shen Lian still came to the Academy Awards with a good attitude, and after participating in the Academy Awards, Shen Lian will rush to the United States to start the filming of "District 9".
