"Shocking news, Lin Feihong's "The Shawshank Redemption" swept the 8 major awards at the 30th Academy Awards, becoming the most outstanding work at this year's Xiangjiang Film Awards."

"Lin Feihong's three films have won awards, this time he and his crew members won a total of ten awards, it can be said that they came to Xiangjiang this time to return with a full load, I don't know if the popular "Paradise Cinema" has this potential."

"Many reporters reported that Lin Feihong was a little arrogant when he was interviewed"

"Lin Feihong is a great director who has never been before, since his first masterpiece "People in Embarrassment" won the Newcomer King Award, every subsequent film has won awards, "Farewell My Concubine" has won three awards, including an international award, the Palme d'Or in Cannes, France! Up to now, "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" and "The Gift of Room No. 7" have won awards, and "The Shawshank Redemption", which has just been released, has won eight awards in China without "Farewell My Concubine", I don't know what kind of storm this masterpiece will set off overseas, and whether it can win the same international award as "Farewell My Concubine", let's wait and see! ”

All kinds of news newspapers are scattered in all corners of the country, "The Gift of Room No. 7", "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", and "The Shawshank Redemption" won the 30th Xiangjiang Academy Awards, and the media have reported on the situation of the Academy Awards, and the most reported is the news that "The Shawshank Redemption" swept the eight awards of the Academy Awards, which once became the top of the news list.

Under the crazy coverage of the media, videos, newspapers, and news are everywhere, as long as there are people who are online or people who like to read newspapers, they know about it, because the news is ranked on the front page or at the top of the page.

Once again, Lin Feihong has become the top figure in the entertainment industry!

Of course, Lin Feihong also knew about this kind of almost crazy media coverage of him. But his mind was not focused on this, his attention was on the media coverage of "Aragon", especially the PK of "Aragon" and "Cinema Paradiso".

"Although some of the media's power has shifted to reporting on "The Shawshank Redemption" sweeping the eight Academy Awards, there is still a large part of the media still paying attention to the "Aragon" that has swept the country, even though this movie has been released for six weeks, but its popularity has not declined in the slightest, but has a more and more fierce trend, this is a phenomenon that has never appeared, Guorong, what do you say about the success of this movie?"

Lin Feihong was lying on the back chair. glanced at Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Xu Zhen, Wang Baoqiang, and Ah Long who were sitting next to him. Ah Xing, Li Lianjie. Then I looked at the snow outside. The mood seems to be as solemn as the weather outside.

Leslie Cheung stood up, paced a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said: "There is always a reason why a movie can be hot, although this Hollywood blockbuster is an example, I have to say that the quality of its movie itself is good, although most of it is special effects." But this is also its advantage, a beautiful theme and super high special effects technology have produced the hot movie "Aragon".

China's special effects technology is underdeveloped, so most of our movies shoot a variety of sub-shots and live scenes. Then edit and combine, add some simple special effects, so one of the characteristics of our movies is real, most Hollywood blockbusters are virtual, but the perception produced by this kind of fiction is very good, so that the audience is very cool when they see it, and the success of their movie is here. ”

Lin Feihong nodded and said: "I understand the two cultural differences, they are leading with technology, we win with real scenes, and we are indeed a lot worse in technology, so I had an idea not long ago, which has been unpredictable, and now after such an incident, I think I should be very sure of this idea now, and I must make this idea come true as soon as possible." ”

"What thoughts?" Andy Lau originally squinted, but when he heard Lin Feihong say that he had an idea, he turned around and looked at Lin Feihong expectantly.

Glancing at Andy Lau, Lin Feihong said solemnly: "Acquire the special effects company!" ”

Andy Lau immediately sat up from the chair, looked at Lin Feihong, and said in surprise: "Special effects company? Do you mean that we will also make films like "Aragon" in the future, and we don't want them in our homeland? ”

"This can't work, Feihong, we have our advantages, although "Aragon" succeeded this time, but the next Hollywood blockbuster may not have the current results, we can't wipe out our country's unique culture because of this special case, didn't you still agree with what I said last time, why did you change your hexagram now?"

Li Lianjie jumped up directly from his chair and vowed to stop Lin Feihong's bad behavior of abandoning culture.

Lin Feihong smiled, shook his head and said: "Brother Jie, it's not what you imagined, this idea appeared before "Aragorn" appeared, after I watched so many Hollywood blockbusters, and compared it with the movies I made, I found that although our movies are real but not cool enough, the reason is the lack of special effects, at that time I felt that special effects are still very important, and our national film industry cannot lack this thing, so I came up with this idea.

At present, China's special effects technology is better than Lu Lijun's team, although his special effects team is not as good as the special effects companies of large Hollywood companies, but it is a leading position in my country, and our special effects personnel are only a few people, the current top special effects artist Lin Wenqing is one, this is not in line with the long-term development at all, so I want to be bigger, separate the crew and special effects, division of labor and cooperation, the crew accepts shooting tasks, and the special effects team does post-editing and special effects and other tasks.

Now our company's funds are quite abundant, so to acquire a special effects company should have this ability, if there is a problem with the funds, apply to the above group company, anyway, the acquisition of special effects companies This plan is imperative. ”

Li Lianjie sat down in the end, finally showed a smile on his face, and said: "I'm relieved, it's better, the development of special effects technology without abandoning my country's local culture is to make up for a major defect in my country's film industry, if there is this group, coupled with my country's unique cultural characteristics, then in the near future, our film industry will definitely be able to go to a big step." ”

Wang Baoqiang, who had been silent, frowned, shook his head and said: "It's difficult, it's difficult to surpass "Aragon", now in six weeks of release, its total box office has exceeded 2.1 billion. And the total box office of our "Paradise Cinema" is only more than 1.5 billion now, no matter how you catch up, 2.1 billion, big brother, even if it goes offline now, it will be difficult for us to catch up, alas, difficult, this is really fucking difficult to get to the sky. ”

Xu Zhen patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and said, "Brothers, have confidence, don't talk about anything if you don't have confidence." I have confidence in Fei Hong, and I believe that he will be able to create a movie with Chinese characteristics to defeat the other party, and there will always be such a day. ”

I haven't been to Fengqingyang for a while, and I don't know how the company's affairs are doing now, so I'll go shopping today.

The wind is clear and busy in the office. Suddenly, seeing Lin Feihong appear at the door, he hurriedly stood up. smiled: "What kind of wind blows our great director here." Come, come, come, please take a seat. ”

"I don't have any post-production film editing to do today, and I don't have a new movie script, so I wonder what the big director is doing when he comes to me?" After Lin Feihong sat down, Feng Qingyang began to make tea, making tea, this is not just hospitality.

Lin Feihong crossed Erlang's legs. Angry said to Feng Qingyang: "It's not okay to come and see you, do you have to come to the company because of something?" ”

Feng Qingyang smiled, handed Lin Feihong the teacup and said, "Isn't this your style all the time, it's your style to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." I've been working with you for so long, don't I know that you can't do it, let's say, what tasks do you have to dispatch, I'm very energetic now. ”

After drinking the tea in one gulp, smashing his mouth, this black tea is really delicious, and he feels refreshed after entering the stomach, and only after putting down the teacup did he say to Feng Qingyang: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, I do have something to find you today." ”

"I'll just say, let's say, what's the matter?" Feng Qingyang smiled even more, and after pouring tea for Lin Feihong, he looked up at Lin Feihong, waiting for his reply.

Lin Feihong was silent for a while, and said: "That's the case, didn't I tell you about the acquisition before, today I have already decided, I plan to buy a special effects company, you are in charge of this matter now, check whether there is a better special effects company in Hollywood, price, technology or something, if the company is not enough funds, apply to the superior company, as long as the reason is sufficient and beneficial to the company, I think there should be no embarrassment for us." ”

Feng Qing raised his brows and frowned slightly, and asked Lin Feihong: "After the acquisition of the special effects company, will we start making movies like "Aragon", and we will transform into special effects in the future?" ”

Lin Feihong shook his head and said: "Special effects will definitely be used in the future, there is no plan to make any special effects films, now prepare first, and when the special effects team is established, it will always be used, of course, we will not make a science fiction film that is completely special effects technology after we have special effects technology, "Aragorn" is a success, but we can't imitate and follow the trend, you know, the work that follows the trend does not have its own characteristics in it, and sooner or later it will fall badly."

We still make movies with our local characteristics, don't worry about how to use this special effect, I have my own measure, you just need to do a good job of acquisition. ”

Feng Qingyang nodded slightly and said: "Before, because of the rise of "Aragon", I also discussed the current situation of China's film with Lin Wenqing, Lin Wenqing said that our film is lacking special effects and needs to be transformed, what kind of changes do you say we need to make in order to be in line with international standards, and now the international film industry outside has been developing in special effects for several years, and our country's film industry is still a relatively primitive shooting and production method. ”

Lin Feihong drank two cups of black tea and said to Feng Qingyang: "Lin Wenqing is right, we need to transform, our production methods are relatively backward, but we need to pay attention to the transformation can not be numb, can not copy foreign things step by step, there must be trade-offs, take the essence, go to the dross, others have other people's cultural characteristics, we also have our cultural characteristics."

If we want to transform on the basis of our own characteristics, if their foreign things are good, then over the years, after the development of overseas projects, many foreign films have been introduced, then our domestic filmmakers will not have to lie down, but now we are all good, we are luring wolves into the house to make ourselves stronger, these wolves may not be able to dominate our country's film industry, "Aragon" is just a special case, and there has been such an experience of being defeated by wolves for so many years.

We have our own cultural background and characteristics, and the transformation we need to do now is to take the local culture as the foundation, introduce foreign special effects technology, plus some inspiration and themes, to make our films better and more distinctive.

That's what I call selective transformation. Let's be honest. The acquisition plan I mentioned has nothing to do with "Aragorn" this time, you know, I had the idea of buying a special effects company, but I saw the gap between my country's film industry and the international film industry, and I thought that our weakness was here.

Of course, our film industry is not up to us filmmakers, and it still has some weaknesses that we can't control, like institutional problems. We can't change the system, but technically we still have the ability to turn things around. ”

After listening to Lin Feihong's words, Feng Qingyang's whole body was full of blood, as if he had shouldered the heavy responsibility of the country in an instant, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry." I will definitely do my best to find the best special effects company to work for the film industry in our country. ”

"Don't shoot your chest, find a chance to talk to Lin Wenqing, he came out of Hollywood, he is most familiar with special effects, and the information he found on the Internet may not be as good as what he saw with his own eyes."

After that, he was ready to go out. As soon as he stood up, he was pulled by Feng Qingyang, "There is news from overseas." ”

"What's the news?" I did it all over again. Overseas repercussions cannot but be concerned.

Feng Qingyang did not immediately answer Lin Feihong's words. After slowly pouring the tea, he said: "The list of Oscar nominees has come out, and "The Gift of Room No. 7" is also on the list. ”

Lin Feihong didn't speak, looked at Feng Qingyang and waited for him to continue, because he saw bad signs in Feng Qingyang's tone, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Feng Qingyang to sigh lightly and say, "There is only one nomination." Foreign language film nominations, half a month later, that is, on March 8th, the award ceremony will be held, should we go this time? According to an inside report from our partners, the odds of winning are slim, as most of the films nominated for foreign language films have other nomination options. It's hard to win a one-piece nomination like ours, unless you go through the back door! ”

"What kind of back door to go, if you can win an award, you can't win a prize, how can you do this kind of thing through the back door, don't go to this award ceremony, just a nomination is just a companion.

Except for Oscar's side, there is no news anywhere else. ”

Lin Feihong slammed the table with a roar, and he wouldn't do it if he was killed by going to the back door to win the award, not only did he have the handle in the hands of others, but he didn't have much sense of accomplishment even if he won the award.

After Lin Feihong's anger subsided, Feng Qingyang shook his head and said: "No, the list of nominees for the Cannes Film Festival has not yet come out, but "The Gift of Room No. 7" has been nominated for some other small awards, and there are more, and the probability of winning should be very high." ”

Lin Feihong waved his hand and said, "Forget these small awards, it doesn't make much sense to go, if you like it, you can participate." ”

Feng Qingyang smiled dumbly and said: "How could I go, I'm not rare, I mean that "The Gift of Room No. 7" was participated in before we decided to participate in other small awards, but now I don't know if it's appropriate to go, "The Shawshank Redemption" also participated in the Cannes National Film Festival in mid-January, and the others did not participate, at that time the Oscars had closed for registration, so they didn't participate in the competition, like "The Shawshank Redemption" didn't participate in other small awards, there was no need to go, but now "The Gift of Room No. 7" has already participated in the competition and the nominations have come out, if you don't participate, the media don't know if you know what the paparazzi are and can make up. ”

Lin Feihong sighed lightly and said, "Then go, if you can't go, I'll send Leslie Cheung, I don't have time to participate in this kind of film festival now, when will the award ceremony be held?" ”

"At the end of February, that is, next week, it will be held in Tomtown, Los Angeles, and I will tell Leslie Cheung about the specific location."

When I got home, it was already evening, and when I was eating, I told Leslie Cheung about going to the award ceremony, and when I heard that I was going to the United States, Su Yawen happily said that she would also go with her, and it was okay to have a companion, so it would be good for them to go on a romantic trip.

Ding Xu also wanted to go, but when he heard that Lin Feihong didn't go, Leslie Cheung went, so he gave up this heart and continued to bury his head in eating, Wang Baoqiang asked Ding Xu If she went, he would go, but seeing Ding Xu's ignorant appearance, he was discouraged and didn't speak.

asked Andy Lau and Fan Binbin if they wanted to go out for a walk, they were hesitant at first, but later agreed at the instigation of Leslie Cheung and Su Yawen, so the matter was settled.

"You can go play for a long time, about a month, then you will have to work when you come back, and my new script will come out about that time."

As soon as she heard that the new script was about to come out, Ding Xu was the happiest, and now she didn't have the heart to play, she wanted to figure out what kind of new script this idol would write by Lin Feihong's side.

Others are different, they immediately said on the spot that they were going to play crazy, except for Wang Baoqiang, who was still silent, but it didn't take long for him to be instigated by Xu Zhen and promised to travel to Miami with Xu Zhen, Ah Long, Ah Xing, and Li Lianjie, and they couldn't go with Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau.

The next day, nine people set off from the villa, and the two groups of people parted ways at the airport to find their own happiness, at this time Wang Baoqiang was very active, and the reluctant look when he looked at Ding Xu in the morning did not know where to go, in Wang Baoqiang's opinion, the word righteousness sometimes excites him more than love.
