The birth of TDK, although Zhang Tan did not get much progress and recognition in the field of art, but gained more crazy fans.

In China, he surpassed Zhang Chao and other fifth-generation directors early on, becoming the most awesome director in China, removing "one".

In Hollywood, he previously dazzled with the Matrix trilogy. Now with the two movies of The Dark Knight again, he has become a god-level director in the hearts of Lao Mei fans.

Tan Blowing is like a prairie fire, quickly spreading all over the world.

This has to be said that TDK has a pretending temperament, people who don't like it may feel bored, but those who like it will like it like it and become Zhang Tan's brainless fan.

Tan Shen is known as the real beginning of the card god.

No matter how much people don't like Zhang Tan, they can no longer have any objections to Zhang Tan's status.

Speaking of business, Zhang Tan already has four movies with a global box office of 1 billion (The Matrix Trilogy + TDK); Speaking of art, "What Those Times Taught Me" belongs to Xiaoxin literature and art, and "This Killer is Not Too Cold" belongs to personality literature and art, although it did not win any awards, it conquered many audiences who like literary films.

Speaking of pioneering style, "Crazy Stone" is the first multi-line narrative, and then Zhang Tan also wrote "Crazy Racing", "Two Big Smoking Guns" (jointly produced by Luying and Summit Entertainment in 2016), "Robbery and Abduction" (jointly produced by Luying and Summit Entertainment in 2017).

In addition, a "Source Code" is also a very good science fiction film, and the three blockbuster horror film series such as "Chainsaw" are also amazing. Plus documentary series such as "A Bite of China", which is widely sought after in China.

There are also some other works written by Zhang Tan, all of which belong to the category of good films.

"Sight and Hearing", which has always been dismissive of commercial films and favors art films, interviewed Zhang Tan and published a cover: "Classic movies are hard to find, but all this is really easy for Tan Zhang." ”

Many directors, directors who can be called masters, may only have one or two masterpieces in their lifetime, and no matter how productive they are, it is difficult to guarantee that one masterpiece will be produced one after another.

But this principle is put on Zhang Tan, it doesn't work at all, Zhang Tan has always been able to create several good films a year.

Tan Zhang said in an interview that he is not a diligent director, for him, work is secondary, and enjoying life is the most important thing. Every time he finishes filming, he gives himself a long vacation to spend time with his family. But in his limited working time, he created more than 30 films in 12 years at a speed that no other director could match. ”

"Almost all of these films were written by him, and ten of them were directed by him."

"'No director has the same unpredictable inspiration as Tan, he just carries a library of movies with him, and there are no ideas that he can't think of.'" Warner Bros. CEO Gorwin said of Zhang Tan. ”

"Hollywood rising star director David Green, who just directed the blockbuster sci-fi film 'The Big Ring Section,' said that the director he admires the most is Tan Zhang: 'I love the Matrix to death, there is no science fiction film that makes me so addicted, Tan told us about another way to shoot science fiction.' ”

“…… Born in 1986, Tan Zhang is an out-and-out young man who has done a great job in both business and art, and now he only lacks the aura of a best director. Many people say that Tan Zhang has at least 30 years of creative career, and it will be sooner or later to win the best director. ”

"And now, Tan Zhang, who has just returned with TDK's accolade, has launched an attack on the Oscars with his latest masterpiece "The Departed", and it may not be long before the last jewel in the crown will be harvested by him.

……

TDK's gunsmoke has not yet ended, and "Departed" and "Infernal Affairs" are about to be released.

"The Departed" is an Olympic film, Warner Bros. is scheduled to be released at the end of October, and basically the Olympic films start to work at this time. Screening before the start of the Oscar nominations is beneficial to deepen the judges' impression score. Then when the Oscars are released, once they win the award, they can also help the box office.

Zhang Tan himself is not confident in whether this movie can win an award, because he is not the veteran Martin Scorsese, and he can have seniority and ingredients. And he is currently widely positioned as a big commercial director, and in the unspoken rules of the Oscars, he despises commercial directors very much.

However, Warner Bros. is very optimistic about "The Departed" and believes that "The Departed" has great potential and can compete for the Oscar.

Golvin said to Zhang Tan: "Tan, leave it to me to operate, although I am not Harvey Weinstein, but I run the Oscars, Warner Bros. experience is no worse than any company." ”

There used to be a saying in Hollywood that Oscar's surname was Weinstein. The term comes from the Weinstein brothers' Miramax Film Company, which is not a big studio, but has successfully run many Oscar-winning films, and Harvey Weinstein has a strong approach.

Since he started running Oscar films, he has received hundreds of nominations and dozens of statuettes, and won the Oscar surname Weinstein's exaggerated statement.

However, with the acquisition of Miramax by Disney, the Weinstein brothers reopened a company, and gradually the peak is no longer there, and the taste of the Oscars is becoming more and more erratic, and Weinstein has been in contact for several years.

There are no absolutely fair awards in the world, especially in the arts category, and the Oscars are not immune.

In addition to a lot of unspoken rules such as contempt for science fiction, contempt for business, and bias towards whites, there are also a lot of unjust ways to influence, such as manipulating the media to affect the judges' senses, blackmailing the other party to elevate themselves, bombarding the judges with phone calls to recommend films, and even bribing the judges.

This kind of thing is not only skilled by Weinstein, but also by Warner Bros.

In particular, the directors in the jury will vote for the director award, and Warner Bros. has worked with many directors, so invite everyone to sit together, eat and brag, and the rest will be easy to do.

Zhang Tan is not a newcomer in Hollywood, he knows many big directors, and in order to rush to the Olympics, he did not hesitate to throw away the pretending shelf, and had a good exchange of feelings with several directors.

As a big director, gold medal screenwriter, and top producer in Hollywood, backed by the resources of large companies such as Warner Bros. and Summit Entertainment, and almost monopolizing Chinese film resources, no matter how forced the director is, he may also trouble Zhang Tan in the future, of course, he will give Zhang Tan more or less a face.

At the dinner, they all made vague statements that if there is no film of full weight this year, they will vote for "The Departed".

They have already seen "The Departed" in the internal communication of the directors' union, which is indeed a rare masterpiece, and it is not a problem to nominate for the Oscar, but the competition for the award needs to look at the opponent.

In case the opponent is too strong, it is really higher quality than "The Departed", this group of directors are arrogant and will not vote randomly.

If the opponent is half a catty, there will be no psychological burden on voting for Zhang Tan.

……

"Husband, can "The Departed" succeed in the Olympics this year?" Susa milked her and Zhang Tan's second treasure, the youngest daughter who had just been born this year, asked.

Zhang Tan's daughter's nickname is Chong Ao, and her name is Zhang Qingqing, which was given by his father-in-law Su Wenzhi, because the weather was sunny and cloudless on the day of delivery.

As for why the nickname is called Chong Ao, it was originally a joking name, because everyone knows that Zhang Tan's new film is going to Chong Ao, so they jokingly talk about a festive and auspicious nickname, which is called Chong Ao.

Although it doesn't feel like a girl's nickname.

However, the more jokes were made, and everyone accepted it, but the more they shouted, the more they felt good.

"Chong Ao, do you think Dad's new movie "The Departed" can win the Oscar for Best Director?" Zhang Tan took the well-fed Zhang Qingqing from Susa and held it in his arms dotingly.

Zhang Qingqing is very fat, she sleeps when she is full, and ignores her father at all.

However, Zhang Tan is very thick-skinned: "Then, if you laugh at one, it means that you can't get it, you are comforting your father; If you don't say anything, it means that you can get it, and the secret of heaven can't be leaked. ”

Well, Zhang Qingqing is about to fall asleep, so naturally she won't make a sound. (To be continued.) )
