Chapter Seventy-Six: Betting
Zheng Zhi said that he was embarrassed!
Why do these people always take it for granted that they will not succeed?
Suzy looked at Zheng Zhi's speechless expression and grimaced embarrassedly.
Park Bo-young secretly patted her chest, fortunately Suzy asked first, otherwise she would definitely be curious to ask.
In the end, it was Leonardo who helped Zheng Zhi out of the siege.
"Zheng's vision is super accurate, and the movies or works he is optimistic about must be amazing. Just like today's one, he is optimistic about winning the Oscar for Best Picture. Do you think it's possible? ”
Suzy and Park Bo-young were stunned on the spot at the same time. Oscar for Best Picture? "Birdman"?
Just putting aside the controversy caused by Zheng Zhi's multi-tasking, judging from the perspective of an independent film, this film does have the potential to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
It's just a possibility, thinking about the current negative evaluation of this film, it always feels a little unrealistic! It's just that after actually watching this movie, I really can't find anything wrong. But I always feel like something is missing.
Leonardo and Zheng Zhi looked at the two women with a look of hard thought, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
From the beginning of filming, this movie was meant to hit the Oscars. Outsiders can't imagine how meticulous Zheng Zhi has been in the handling of the script and storyboards. From the beginning of filming, this film was written in a few big words: "To the Oscar judges!" ”
Superb acting, bold use of long shots, intense group scenes, and excellent sound effects. There is also a script that is brilliant to the peak.
It's all seamless, there's no obtrusion, it's all like it's set. This balance can be said to be a kind of perfection, and one more point is too much. One less point is missing.
In the eyes of ordinary audiences, such a movie will only remember the black humor and the philosophical speculation interpreted by the movie.
But in the eyes of professionals, the rigor with which it was all made is breathtaking. It's like a delicate instrument. Precise operation. produced an Oscar-winning textbook film.
Truth be told, when Leonardo had just finished watching the movie in the cinema, he felt almost certain. The film is definitely the strongest contender for Best Picture at this year's Oscars.
And Suzy and Park Bo-young are still too young after all, and they don't understand the judging criteria and mechanism with the Oscars. That's why they think it's a little weird.
This kind of every actor perfectly meets the acting skills required by the director, no more, no less. Everyone is perfectly balanced. Such a film is almost impossible to complete in South Korea.
South Korea may have one or two top actors with the acting skills of these superstars who are not inferior to the Oscars. But those supporting actors in Korean movies can't reach the same level of acting skills as them.
So South Korea can't make such a film. In their concept, a movie must always have one or two highlights, that is, the male and female protagonists, at most one supporting role, and a film is actually expressed through them. As for the others. It doesn't matter. It's not about the big picture.
Zheng Zhi and Leonardo did not explain to the two, this kind of thing can only be understood by participating in a few Hollywood movies and studying the Hollywood review mechanism.
The two also ended the conversation and went to find other friends to contact their feelings. Jung Ji also took Park Bo-young and Suzy to find a place to sit down.
"What did you guys think of this movie?" After Zheng Zhi and Suzy sat down, they took some food and started chatting.
Park Bo-young and Suzy couldn't help but glance at each other after Jung asked. I didn't know what to say for a while.
Zheng Zhi looked at Park Baoying: "What do you think of Baoying?" ”
Suzy has already commented before. So Zheng Zhi asked Park Bo-young directly by name.
Park Bo-young pondered for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I feel that the script of this movie is very skillful." It won't be boring to watch. But if there is anything that people particularly like, it seems that there is none! ”
Park Bo-young said with some uncertainty.
Zheng Zhiyan nodded. Agree with her words. Park Bo-young and the others are Koreans after all, and they still don't know a little about the preferences and thinking patterns of Americans. From a purely Korean point of view, this movie is a fair evaluation.
But a lot of things don't always work out according to normal logic. At least the results of "Birdman" will definitely exceed everyone's expectations.
Jung Zhi looked at Park Bo-young and Suzy and said with a smile: "Why don't we bet on how much the final box office of this film is!" ”
Eh, Park Bo-young and Suzy looked confused. They don't know anything about the U.S. box office. Where to guess the box office of the movie!
Zheng Zhi immediately reacted when he saw the expressions of the two. explained the basic explanation for the two: "So let's guess whether this movie can enter the top five at the weekly box office." ”
"The top five?" Both Suzy and Park Bo-young couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths. Can this kind of movie also enter the top five at the box office? Could it be that only five movies are released every week this month?
The two of them thought it was impossible. This kind of thing doesn't happen even in South Korea. Not to mention the United States, the mecca of movies.
So the two made a decisive bet.
"OPPA, I bet I won't be in the top five at the weekly box office!" Suzy and Park Bo-young said in unison.
Zheng Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. This is too shameless.
It's just that he made the bet himself. Naturally, it is not good to regret it.
"So what are you betting?"
Suzy and Park Bo-young are speechless again. And what can he bet on?
Money is definitely not good, and the others are not very familiar, and it seems that it is not easy to gamble.
Zheng Zhi looked at the hesitation of Park Baoying and the two, and took the initiative to make a request: "If you lose." Suzy will make a cameo appearance in my TV series. ”
Suzy breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, this request was not difficult. So she readily agreed.
Jung Zhi looked at Park Bo-young again and said, "Our next work is related to cooking, so let's cook for everyone during the filming of the TV series!" ”
Park Bo-young was also relieved when she heard this. guessed that Zheng Zhi was changing direction and urging himself to practice cooking, and suddenly had a little more affection for this unfamiliar TV series producer.
Park Bo-young also agreed to the gambling contract.
Zheng Zhi raised his glass and said, "Okay, then the bet agreement is established, and we will clink glasses for an oath!" ”
"Huh? What's oppa, you haven't even said anything about your own bets! Park Bo-young and Suzy found out that Zheng Zhi was cheating at the same time, and slapped him twice together.
Zheng Zhi immediately pretended to be in pain. He grinned and dodged a few times, and then thought seriously for a while, "No matter how you think about it, I won't lose!" ”
"Yikes!" Park Bo-young and Suzy were also so confused by Jung Zhi's rogue behavior that they didn't even say honorifics.
Zheng Zhi naturally didn't care about this.
Seeing the two girls staring at him unkindly, Zheng Zhi made a look of fear, and then proposed: "What if I lose one of you to fulfill your small wish?" Wishes are capped at $10,000. If it takes time, it is limited to one day. Nature can't be a desire that embarrasses me. ”
Suzy and Park Bo-young were intrigued by the proposal. At the same time, nod in approval.
Just as the three of them agreed on a bet, Leonardo happened to come over.
Seeing the three of them chatting happily, I couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?" It's long to see you flirting together! ”
Zheng Zhi didn't hesitate to give him a gesture of forced gaze.
"We're betting with Zheng Zhi!" Suzy and Park Bo-young answered the male god's questions in detail. It's responsive. A role model among fans.
Leonardo asked with an interested face, "Bet on what?" What is the stake? ”
"OPPA and we bet on how much his movie will gross!" It was still Park Bo-young and the two rushed to answer.
Leonardo looked at Zheng Zhi speechlessly. "Can you still be at the limit? Do people know how to calculate the North American box office? Just bet on this with others? ”
Zheng Zhi rolled his eyes, "You know, I'll bet with you!" ”
Leonardo suddenly became interested, "Bet on what?" Why don't you bet on the GT3 you modified! "Leonardo has been coveting that GT3 for a long time. It's not that he can't afford it, it's just that Zheng Zhi's hard work in modifying this car is not the price of a car at all. The most important thing is that it looks really super stylish after the modification.
Zheng Zhi glanced at Leonardo and said, "Then what bet did you make?" ”
Leonardo immediately used Zheng Zhi's previous trick: "Will I lose?" ”
Zheng Zhi directly turned his head and ignored him. Ignore him.
Leonardo looked at him and said a little unwillingly: "I'll give you a 458 if I lose." ”
Zheng Zhi shook his head, "I already have it." ”
Leonardo looked at Zheng Zhi speechlessly. "Haven't you bought a new car in a long time? When did you buy it? Why haven't you heard of it? ”
"I bought it in Korea and bought three cars at once." Zheng Zhi said indifferently.
Leonardo opened his mouth, a little powerless to complain: "There must be a Mercedes G"
Zheng Zhi rolled his eyes, this is not nonsense, Mercedes-Benz has an agreement with himself, and he usually drives Mercedes-Benz G series cars. Of course, he only needs to buy a car at the cost price, and he doesn't need to spend a penny on maintenance.
"Then I'll bet on you with a Lamborghini!" Leonardo said with a bloody heart.
"Deal, how much do you bet on the box office?" Zheng Zhi agreed. Immediately made Leonardo's heart drop blood.
People are like that, the same condition. If you grind with him for a long time, he will feel that he is not a loss. If you say yes, he'll feel at a loss.
Zheng Zhi ignored his innocent eyes and stared at him, waiting for him to give an answer.
Leonardo thought seriously and said a relatively bold figure: "Twenty-eight million dollars." ”
Zheng Zhi laughed, "It seems that you still don't have enough confidence in me." I'm betting 35 million. ”
Zheng Zhi's estimate suddenly startled several people.
"You're not kidding, such a movie has a box office of 28 million, which is already crazy. 35 million, that's impossible! Leonardo shouted with a stupid look on his face.
Zheng Zhi was unmoved. "Then we'll make a bet!"
Leonardo couldn't help but want to regret it, but in the end he still didn't believe that the movie could reach a box office of 35 million.
You must know that now this movie is in decline in almost the entire American film and television industry! (To be continued.) )
