Chapter 143: An Unexpected Nomination

Chapter 143: An Unexpected Nomination

"Just don't tell me the company doesn't have enough money. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liang Long smiled slightly, in addition to shooting films, he basically didn't ask about the company's affairs, Carl used to be in charge alone, with Liang Jin and Ye Ying joining the company, Carl's pressure has also been reduced a lot, and the company is completely on the right track.

"Didn't I say some time ago that I want to pick a script from the Screenwriters Guild? I've picked one now, "Drop of the Heart", this is the first time our company has shot an alien script, so I hope you can help evaluate it. In this regard, Carl did not dare to be careless, for a film, as long as it does not make money, it is equivalent to a loss, and for the Yanhuang Film Company, which is in full swing, it is a loss if it makes less money. That's why Carl decided to let Diplodocus evaluate it and make this investment carefully.

", doesn't the company have an evaluation department? As I said earlier, you can handle this aspect yourself, and I'm busy now. Liang Long cut off the call directly, he didn't want to worry about these worries, a large company's exhibition relies on the group, not the individual, if the group is immature, what can Liang Long do if he crosses over? He's going to retire someday, right? Therefore, Liang Long tried to delegate power as much as possible and let the company develop freely.

""Drop of the Heart", I don't seem to be impressed." Liang Long thought carefully, but in the memory of his previous life, there was no news of this film. But this is normal, he was a senior movie fan in his previous life, but a senior movie fan does not mean that he has watched all the movies, even if he is crazy, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

"But I don't think I have prepared a script for next year for the company, right?" Liang Long suddenly came to his senses, and he hadn't written a new script since he finished writing "My Leader, My Regiment", so he complained: "Carl is really this guy, why didn't he urge me." "But is this to blame Carl? Although Carl also knows his prolific script, even if a hen lays eggs, there has to be a brewing process.

"It's a bastard to have money and not make money, and now the company has sufficient liquidity, and it is a good time to increase investment." Liang Long moved his mind to write a script again, and he suddenly remembered that he had promised Rupert to write a film with the theme of same-sex love at the screening of "The Bride Is Not Me". In fact, he had already thought of the story, which was "Brokeback Mountain".

Broken back, whether it is in the film industry or the entire art world, is a taboo subject, and few people will touch it, because one careless will cause fire. In his previous life, Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" set off a storm in the United States, and the pressure of public opinion was very high. After all, the United States is a country with a high degree of freedom of public opinion, and if the pressure of public opinion is too great, the film company would rather give up a film than damage the company's reputation because of a film.

Therefore, if Liang Long really wants to shoot "Brokeback Mountain", he must first formulate a reasonable publicity plan to avoid causing excessive behavior among the people. Liang Long naturally dialed Carl's phone again: "Man, I'm thinking of a movie with the theme of the same love, and you can help me make a publicity plan." ”

"Fuck off, don't mess around." Carl roared, and he thought of everything that Liang Long thought of, but he thought that the company was now in a stage of stable and high development, and there was no need to use this taboo subject to sensationalism: "Shooting this kind of subject, as long as there are people who want to help it, it can definitely bring disaster to a company like us in the exhibition." Liang Long smiled: "Then it depends on your publicity plan." ”

"Man, I don't think you got it yet." Carl sighed and explained: "It's not a question of the propaganda plan, it's a question of the control of public opinion, our company has been developing quickly for more than a year, and the relationship with the media is also very good, but one thing we must admit is that our relationship with the media is not solid." If a large company uses the subject matter as an excuse to fight with us, it is definitely us who loses, after all, this kind of subject matter is in a congenital weakness. Also, you won't forget your arrogant Japan with Columbia, right? He is like a poisonous snake now, as long as something goes wrong, he will definitely not be stingy. ”

Liang Long was unconvinced: "But we have strategic partners, isn't the relationship with Disney and Paramount solid?" Karl said, "But in this case, how many resources are we going to use?" How much money do you want to invest? Even if we win in the end, how much will the film give us? 300 million, or 500 million dollars? If there are so many, I will immediately do your designated propaganda plan. ”

Liang Long couldn't help but recall the box office of "Brokeback Mountain" in his previous life, the global box office was only more than 100 million, and it was obviously not a film that could make a lot of money. Moreover, if there is a war of public opinion, the resources and funds invested will be difficult to estimate, and it may also bring ruin to the company's reputation, which can be said that the benefits and risks are completely disproportionate. After thinking about it carefully for a while, Liang Long also felt that it was not cost-effective, so he could only give up, after all, the exhibition company could not be rash, otherwise it would not be him who would fail, but the entire crew and employees of the company. As the CEO of the company, he must be responsible for the employees.

However, it is imperative to release a few more new films next year, and he thought of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was also directed by Ang Lee, which received nine Oscar nominations in his previous life and finally won four Oscars. But then he gave up again, this is a Chinese film that can bring Oscar gold, and it must not be released next year, because next year's release will collide with "Titanic" at the Oscars in 98, then it will be sincere Titanic, and it will be good to win an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Picture in the end.

"What do you think? Look at your headache like this. Sophie didn't know when she was standing outside the door, smiling at Diplodocus. Liang Long sighed lightly: "The script has just been rejected." Liang Long said "Brokeback Mountain" again, and Sophie said dumbly: "Man, you won't be?" Liang Long glanced at her: "What are you talking nonsense?" It's called art, you know? Sophie smiled, "Okay, if you say it's art, it's art." Don't worry about the script, I'll invite you to eat game, and when you have an appetite, inspiration may come to you. ”

The two of them came to the game shop with a little makeup, and there were roe deer, wild boar, hares, pheasants and the like, and there were no precious protected animals. The two ordered seven or eight dishes, Liang Long just wanted the boss to serve beer, but Sophie rushed to ask for white, Liang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Beauty, although the liquor is fragrant, it is easy to get drunk, and it is still on the head." Sophie said, "Just drink less, I like the taste of liquor." ”

"Have a drink first." As soon as the wine was poured, Sophie picked up the wine glass, and Liang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he could only drink a glass with him. But after a while, he saw that something was wrong, looking at Sophie's desperate posture of pouring wine, which was to eat, it was simply to buy drunk, Liang Long persuaded a few times, but Sophie shouted: "It's okay, it's rare to be able to drink such fragrant wine, I have to drink more." ”

Liang Long knew in his heart that Sophie was here to buy drunk, and when he was drunk, he would not be bitter in his heart, and he was pulled by Sophie to be a messenger to protect the flowers, so as not to get drunk and have an accident. Liang Long can also understand the bitterness in Sophie's heart, as a woman, how much courage it takes to fall in love with an old man who is twenty-four years older than herself when she is young, but this courage does not bring her long-term happiness, and all that remains is non-stop conflicts and quarrels. It's like saying that she falls in love with someone she shouldn't love, and this is also a woman's greatest sorrow.

One cup after another, Sophie's brain was a little messy, her mouth was a little unkempt, and she didn't care whether Liang Long wanted to listen to it or not, so she talked about some trivial things, mostly how she and Andre quarreled. Liang Long wasted a lot of effort to snatch her wine glass down, and then tried to divert her gaze: "Sophie, don't drink, let's chat." ”

In fact, Sophie didn't really want to get drunk like mud, she was bitter in her heart and wanted to find someone to talk to. Diplodocus also listened quietly, acting as the best listener, but what Sophie said, Diplodocus probably couldn't understand, it was all some family trivialities, and Diplodocus had a strong relationship with Rachel and Jessica, so he could understand this, and even felt a little inexplicable.

Unconsciously, it was almost midnight, and Sophie finally said that she was tired, and Liang Long said: "Go back, I have to shoot tomorrow." Sophie nodded, stood up, took a step, and suddenly stumbled, but fortunately, Liang Long's eyes were quick so that she didn't fall: "Let's go, I'll help you." ”

"No, I can do it myself." Sophie struggled away, but she swayed left and right when she walked, and after a few steps, she stumbled again, and Liang Long hurriedly helped her, so she was sent all the way back, helped her to bed, and covered her with a quilt. Just as he turned to leave, his hand was suddenly grabbed by Sophie: "What's wrong?" Do you want to drink water? ”

Sophie suddenly stood up and hugged him hard, and the Xing face and graceful posture immediately made Diplodocus react. Liang Long forcibly endured his possessiveness for beautiful things, and said with a wry smile: "Sophie, rest early." As soon as the words fell, his mouth was gagged, and it was Sophie who kissed him, and Diplodocus suddenly had a feeling of self-loss and unconsciously responded to her. His hands couldn't help but roam over her, feeling every inch of her skin, feeling her bewitching figure.

Suddenly, Sophie muttered, as if there was a thunderclap out of thin air, and Liang Long suddenly came to his senses, quickly pushed her away, and rushed out of the door. It was only when he ran back to his room that he breathed a sigh of relief and scolded himself for being a beast. He is not a gentleman, otherwise there would not be two women in the family, but he is not a beast either, and he will not take advantage of others when they are drunk, not to mention, he has never thought of finding another woman and then opening a table of mahjong at home.

The next day, the crew had to continue filming, and when it touched Sophie's gaze, Liang Long hurriedly avoided it, and there was always a feeling of being a thief. Sophie suddenly walked over and whispered in his ear, "It's just a drunken scene, you won't take it seriously, will you?" Liang Long nodded hurriedly: "No, I'm thinking about how to shoot." Sophie chuckled, "That's right." ”

Rushed to yesterday's shooting location, the fire has been completely extinguished, not even a little smoke, Liang Long can rest assured, growing up in the 21st century, he understands too well the importance of the ecological environment, and also knows too well the destructive power of fire to the ecological environment. Liang Long asked Wadme to hurry up and put on makeup for the cannon fodder, while he himself was busy discussing with Dehan how to set the set, and Biel was busy discussing how to choose the shot.

Three large gasoline barrels were placed there, and the buckets of diesel fuel were poured into it, singing very pleasantly, completely showing his crazy side, in Meng Fan's words: "He is a madman, only a madman can be in such a world, such a calm, but this madman really saved us." Nia watched quietly, and thought to herself, "He's getting mader, and if a Japanese tank were to appear now, I think he wouldn't hesitate to give the order for the cannon fodder to rush forward and shoot at the tank group with the few rifles he had." ”

But death and death are not without purpose, he said: "Like the night, I can't see my fingers, I feel the darkness, and I go into the black forest." The events of his later life proved that he was right, because he was dressed in black, so that this group of cannon fodder returned to China.

If you follow the plot of the original book, you will take the cannon fodder to Angguang Airport next, and you will also fight a few battles with the Japanese, but under the modification of Liang Long, this part of the scene has been completely deleted, because the movie is not like a serial, and there are so many shots at all. Liang Long ordered the crew to rest, and then began to set up tents, and the next was the night play, although they would return to Heshun during the day, tents were still needed so that the actors could rest anytime and anywhere. As for supper, Liang Long didn't dare to let the crew bury the pot and cook on the spot, after all, in the forest, it is easy to cause a fire, and it is possible for the entire crew to die in the forest if one is not careful.

In this regard, Liang Long is not at ease, and the Tengchong County Government is even more worried, in addition to sending special personnel to monitor the fire behavior of the crew, he also left a fire brigade here to deal with accidents at any time, of course, Yanhuang Film Company also paid a lot of money for this. Liang Long walked over with a few bottles of wine: "Brothers, our filming also caused you to suffer, it's cold at night, everyone drink some wine to warm up." The fire chief hurriedly shook his head and said, "Mr. Liang, we can't drink alcohol during the mission." Liang Long smiled: "It's rest time, everyone is eating, no one will light a fire, you can rest assured." Besides, I didn't let you drink more, just drink some and warm up. The fire captain accepted it, but his heart was a little beautiful, because the Liang Long sent all good wine.

Diplodocus was not interested in white or red, so he took a bottle of beer and made it on the side of the mountain, facing the cool breeze, and his mood was very comfortable. Sophie came over quietly and sat down next to him with a bottle of beer: "Still avoiding me?" I thought you should run into this kind of thing often. ”

Hollywood is different from the domestic entertainment industry, there are not so many unspoken rules, but it does not mean that there is no relationship between directors and actors, but their ways are different. They won't persecute it, but if the celebrity lives inappropriately, this kind of thing will become a matter of affection and me, but no one will mention anything, and after doing it, everyone will feel like Spiegel. And with Liang Long's current identity, as long as he wants, there will be a lot of women sent to the door, so Sophie is not wrong, Liang Long has not received many eyebrows from others running over during various meetings.

"Beauty, if you tease me again, I really pushed you down." Liang Long glanced at her, depressed that she didn't open which pot to mention. Sophie picked him up: "I'm still afraid that you won't make it, but I really envy Rachel for being able to keep you so firmly watched." Diplodocus couldn't help but smile bitterly, there was not only Rachel in the family, but also Jessica.

After a moment of silence, Sophie said again, "When are you going to write a new script?" Can you let me take a look? Liang Long then remembered that in his previous life, Sophie was not only an actor, but also a screenwriter, director, and writer, and she was definitely a talented woman: "Writing scripts is always intermittent, and the time is uncertain, how do you observe?" Sophie smiled, "Yes, but Captain, let me ask you a question about creation, why do you always write scripts so quickly?" And the quality can be guaranteed? What's the secret? ”

In addition to "The Police and the Thief", Liang Long's other scripts are either directly pirated or adapted, but after writing so many scripts, Liang Long also has a lot of experience, at least he can now create an original one, but the quality cannot be guaranteed. Liang Long drew a fine line for a while: "Actually, writing a script is almost the same as writing a story, but the format is different, the key is to have a story." Think of the beginning and end first, and then fill in the middle. Sophie asked, "How?" Liang Long said: "In fact, the filler is the same as the shooting shot, there are certain rules, such as suspense films, it has to create some characters that are a little related to the main story line, but they don't play a big role, and they just start looking at these people, giving people a mysterious and mysterious feeling." You also need to create characters that reflect the main story, and then use these characters to find your opponents. ”

After a pause, Liang Long said: "The film exhibition has been nearly a hundred years, and classic films have emerged in an endless stream, but most of them are old wine in new bottles. Just like "Braveheart" you starred in last year, although the background of the story follows certain historical rules, it can also be seen from life. Sophie smiled: "I know, many people have commented on this, in short, it is the bottom line of men." ”

A man can be a tyrant, a gentleman, a man, or a coward, but any man has a bottom line, that is, he cannot tolerate a green hat on his head. And if "Braveheart" is worth anatomy, the contradiction between England and Scotland is that Edward I announced that the first night of a Scottish woman's marriage belonged to the nobles, which led to a revolt from the Scots. It can be said that they are fighting for freedom, or they are fighting for the green hat above their heads, or even for the lower body.

After chatting with Sophie for a while, they went to rest, because they had to shoot for a long time in the evening, even overnight.

Like the night, I can't see my fingers, touch the darkness, and enter the black forest. Niya followed the cannon fodder, and said in her heart: "I follow the cannon fodder, and the cannon fodder follows the madman, all of them are moving forward in the dark like a madman, I don't know if it is useful, but I can only follow them, because I long to return to my homeland after a long absence, the United States." Meng Fan said in his heart: "I have heard that in such a dark night, the devil likes to hide in the big trees, in groups of three or two, and use machine guns to strafe all living creatures that can strafe, hoping that this madman can take us out of this black forest, although I myself feel that this hope is very slim." ”

Dead Dead Die Die with cannon fodder in the forest, he will not deliberately avoid the devils, he will even take the initiative to kill the devils. So, the first battle in the forest was born, and Liula was caught by the devil as a target, and he didn't know how many bullets he had been hit, and he was dying. The cannon fodder sneaked up in the dark and ended the battle with routing. Meng Fan elaborated: "The sheep tore the jackal apart in a few minutes, the murderer turned out to be so weak, I have never fought such a battle, the dead Japanese army still believed in the end that this group of black ghosts rushing out of the mountain forest in the fog was a foreign mountain ghost, if they were well-dressed, they would never fight so smoothly." In response to that guy's (dead, dead), we killed the enemy with our pants. ”

Niya is a war correspondent and a woman, she didn't join the battle circle, she was watching from the side, looking incredulously: "Win, win like this, I feel a little inexplicable, is it really like the dead and dead, the pants can also kill the enemy?" But in the end, we won, and we had the first equipment. But I'm still not optimistic, and now because of this victory, my dead eyes have become even more crazy, and I guess that he will not honestly take us home, but will lead us to constantly sneak attack the Japanese army. Perhaps, we will be killed and injured in a sneak attack. But what's even more sad is that the cannon fodder is not the slightest bit conscious, and they not only have the joy of the rest of their lives after death, but also the same fanaticism as death. ”

This war of this scale is not so easy to shoot, constantly routing, every action has to switch shots, that is to say, it is impossible to do it in one go, it is to be composed of countless shots. It was busy until four o'clock in the morning, Liang Long looked at the time, and it would be bright in more than a while, which was not suitable for filming the next scene, so he shouted: "Guys, hurry up and unload the loading, rest for a while, and when it is dawn, we will go back to Heshun." ”

Diplodocus sat cross-legged to regulate internal breathing, and it was more conducive to restoring energy during meditation. Sophie leaned against a tree not far away, tilted her head and looked at him, a little inexplicable: "Sitting cross-legged, with such a straight waist, that's more tiring than work, and his legs are numb, isn't he sick?" It wasn't until dawn that Sophie walked over and asked, "What were you doing sitting cross-legged just now?" Liang Long smiled: "Practicing martial arts, through a special way to breathe." Sophie gave him a blank look, obviously unconvinced: "Nonsense, right? Why haven't I heard that you can practice martial arts like this? ”

Liang Long explained it in a mess, and he really didn't know how to deal with a foreigner about the relationship between people and qi. Sophie also heard it in a fog, but she didn't bother to ask, anyway, she didn't practice martial arts.

Back in Heshun, Liang Long did not fall asleep immediately, and for him, the long period of meditation was enough to restore his spirits. Turning on the computer, he stared at the screen again, not knowing which script to write for a while.

"Choose a high-grossing one." Liang Long thought about it for a while, although most high-grossing films mean high risk and high investment, Liang Long only directly uses high-grossing films from his previous life, so there is no so-called risk. As for the high cost, Liang Long doesn't care even more, with the current liquidity of Yanhuang Film Company, it is not a problem to make a few large-investment films. However, large-investment films can't be filmed too much, because compared with high-budget films, large-investment and high-box office films are obviously much lower in terms of capital utilization.

"Yanhuang Film Company should also have its own series." Liang Long first set his sights on the series, as long as the first box office of this kind of film goes up, the box office behind it will be guaranteed, which can stabilize the company's exhibition. Liang Long thought of the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", which had already been bought by himself, and then shook his head, because the current special effects technology is simply not enough to support the huge and complex background of the Lord of the Rings, and if it is really filmed, it will only ruin this classic series.

Similarly, Diplodocus thought of "Pirates of the Caribbean" again, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" has no weaker requirements for special effects than "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", and the current conditions are not ripe at all. Moreover, Liang Long has already made up his mind from the moment he stepped into the film industry, and this film is to be reserved for Kayla girl.

"Batman", "Star Wars Prequel", "Jurassic Park", "Shrek", "Transformers" and other series have either been filmed or cannot get the copyright, so there are not many options for him. Liang Long thought of "Spider-Man" again, but the adaptation rights could not be won for a long time, so he could only postpone it again.

"Harry Potter." Diplodocus was taken aback, he was so busy during this time that if he hadn't thought of the series now, he would have almost forgotten about it. "Harry Potter" is the work of writer Rowling, which has not yet been published, but it will definitely be published when it arrives in 97, and if Rowling cannot be contacted in the first time and win the adaptation rights, it is very likely that other companies will preempt it. If it was really preempted by other companies, then Liang Long would cry without tears, because the total box office bonus of this seven-part series is six billion US dollars, and with this money, I don't know how many people can be killed.

"Next year, no, from now on we have to keep an eye on the British publishing information." Diplodocus did not know the exact date of publication, but he knew that it was 97, which was enough. But the more I think about it, the more Diplodocus has a headache, none of these high-grossing series can be chosen, isn't this funny?

However, there were not many series produced by Hollywood in the previous life, although the box office was not so high, but it was not unprofitable, Liang Long thought about it for a while, and finally chose "The Matrix". This film has no investment, but the box office is also very high, and it can open other series of by-products, which can definitely bring high income. Liang Long began to write the script, and he couldn't be considered fast, and he didn't rest until after dinner at noon, after all, it was an all-nighter at night.

Shooting in the forest in the dark night is definitely not an easy task, and according to the plot set by Diplodocus, the cannon fodder attacked the Japanese army many times in the forest, and a lot of blasting scenes needed to be arranged, which greatly affected the filming process. In this environment, which lasted only four days, the crew complained, and Liang Long also knew that everyone was tired, so he agreed to have a day off for the crew, which was actually two days and one night. Liang Long himself couldn't stop, hiding in the room and was busy writing the script, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Liang Long shouted: "Please come in." ”

The knocking stopped, but the door didn't open, and Diplodocus frowned, ignored it, and continued to write the script. After a while, the knock on the door sounded again, and Liang Long frowned and shouted, "Please come in." But the same thing happened again, and the door didn't open. However, this Liang Long was already alert, he didn't hear the footsteps, and the person who came was just outside the door.

"Who is so boring, play pranks on me." Diplodocus took off his shoes, walked gently to the door, put his hand on the doorknob, and waited for the knock to sound. Sure enough, the knock on the door sounded again, and Liang Long suddenly opened the door, just wanting to shout that he couldn't scare you to death, but when he saw the people outside the door, he was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”

"What? Not welcome? Jessica glanced lovingly around the room, perhaps looking for evidence of Diplodocus' guilt. Rachel complied: "Or did you do something wrong, afraid that we would know?" Liang Long smiled and caught them, kissed them one by one, pulled them out of the room, and closed the door with his hand, now he can proudly say, I even resisted the charm of Sophie, what do you have to worry about. Of course, this must not be spoken, otherwise nothing will become nothing.

"Hey, I'm writing a script again." Jessica's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly ran to the computer to read the script: "Honey, can I star in this film?" Liang Long shook his head with a smile and said, "This film is not for you." Jessica pouted angrily, "It's this sentence every time, I hate you to death." Liang Long smiled and hugged her: "Sweetheart, what you need now is exercise, this kind of blockbuster focuses on special effects, and it is not suitable for you to temper your acting skills." Jessica snorted: "It's like this every time, no matter what, I want it, otherwise I'll take your baby back to the United States immediately." ”

"You girl." Liang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he could only agree with a wry smile, anyway, "The Matrix" does not have high requirements for acting skills, and I believe that Jessica can control the role. Moreover, Sophie's heart was aroused by Sophie that day, and Sophie's graceful posture appeared in his mind from time to time these days, which had already suffocated him, if the two beauties were gone at this time, then he could really be in the palace. As soon as he thought of this, Liang Long's heart became even more angry, and the room was full of clouds and mist for a while.

**Wushan Le broke his bowels, and Liang Long hugged one with one hand: "You are not in a hurry to leave this time, right?" Rachel said, "You can stay for a few days, but you will definitely go back to spend the holidays with your parents before Christmas." Liang Long said: "That's good, accompany me to Beijing in a few days, the Spring Festival Gala program team is going to rehearse again, it's annoying." ”

"It's tiring to negotiate with the Yankees, and I finally won it." Far away in the United States, Han Sanping breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to ensure cooperation with Disney and Paramount, he personally led a team to negotiate. However, this cooperation involves many interest issues, and Han Sanping's team negotiated with Disney for five days before finalizing the contract. However, Han Sanping's mission is not over, he has to go to Paramount to negotiate another film.

"Shooting films in China has to suffer a loss." Sending Han Sanping away, Mark couldn't help but smile bitterly, in his opinion, China's box office consumption power is too poor, and Hollywood films want to enter China, and China has to sell its rights to Chinese companies, plus other ways, in the end, you can only get a very part of the profits, it can be said that it is tasteless and a pity to abandon it. And this has become the most passive part of the negotiations, and the profits of the Chinese side must be given up completely, in exchange for the Beijing Film Studio to help connect everything in China and contribute a part of the production fee.

However, Mark is also happy to suffer a loss, the box office of "Terracotta Warriors" has said it all, I believe that "Immortal War" can also bring Disney the same large profits, compared with these profits, the little advantage taken by Beijing Film Studio is nothing.

"$320,000, it's not much, but it's time to be satisfied." Carl looked at the box office of the new week, and his mood was much more relaxed, the production cost of "Street Dance Boy" was only 150,000 US dollars, and it could win 10,000 in ten days after its release, and it has achieved a high profit. In addition, the hip-hop boy also won $30,000 at the box office in the first week overseas, and the total box office has approached 100 million.

Moreover, for films like "Hip-hop Boy", the box office is only a part of the total revenue, and the profits from soundtracks, CDs, costumes, etc. are the main thing. In a good mood, Carl called Liang Long again, reported the good news to Liang Long, and then said: "I have started to prepare for the filming of "Drop of the Heart", and strive to start filming early next year, you also have to write a script quickly, although the film we will produce next year will not be able to pass the eight Hollywood giants, but we will strive to be equal to them in terms of total income." ”

"Let's fight together." Liang Long smiled: "By the way, many Hollywood companies will buy some films made by independent filmmakers, shouldn't our company also be involved in this aspect?" ”

There are hundreds of Hollywood studios, and there are many independent producers, but it doesn't mean that they all have a system, and in many cases they can only sell their films to other companies, or take dividends from the box office. Not only the eight major Hollywood companies, but many other film companies have business in this area, but Yanhuang Film Company has always been blank in this regard.

"You and I are like you, and you are also the shopkeeper?" Karl said angrily: "As early as last year, the company's evaluation team was digging resources in this area, but there was no suitable object, and we will increase our efforts this year." Liang Long smiled: "Then I won't say it, you can work hard yourself, bye-bye." ”

"It's so irresponsible." Carl hung up angrily, of course, this is also what he dreamed of, only in such an environment can he let go and show his talent as much as possible.

Writing scripts during the day, accompanying two wives, and shooting films at night, although tired, but very fulfilling, the time will soon be Christmas, Rachel and Jessica each go home to accompany their parents, and at this moment, Diplodocus received an unexpected phone call, it was Hallie, she was so excited that she was incoherent: "Team...... Captain...... I was raptured...... I was nominated. ”

"What's the nomination?" Diplodocus was a little baffled. Hallie immediately said, "Oscar nomination, Best Supporting Actress." ”

"Won't it?" Liang Long stood up suddenly, Hallie's acting skills are undoubted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a talented performer, but in "100% Men", she played Erin only three times, each time for only one minute, and she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress? Liang Long wondered if Harley was joking, or if the Oscar organizing committee was joking.

"I know you'll be surprised, and I'm actually just as surprised." Hallie laughed happily, she didn't expect that she would be nominated for an Oscar for an unexpected role that she had made in the first place. Liang Long calmed down after a while, and said with a smile: "Hallie, congratulations, you must bring the golden man back, then our Yanhuang Film Company will have the record of the first golden man." ”

Liang Long won the Oscar for Best Screenplay before, but this award is counted on the head of Disney, so Yanhuang Film Company is still blank in the Oscar record. After ending the call, Liang Long immediately called Carl again: "Man, you know that Hallie was nominated for an Oscar, right?" Carl smiled: "I know what you want to say, don't worry, I have made a publicity plan to build up for Hallie in the major media and on the Internet, and I must win this bottle of gold." ”

After a pause, Carl said: "Man, our company will also adjust its focus next year, there is no honor at the box office alone, and it is easy to be said that we are a company that directs the production of commercial films." Liang Long said: "Man, don't worry, next year no matter what, I will let the company win back a few bottles of gold." ”

After Christmas, Liang Long had to rearrange his itinerary because Hallie was nominated, and as the CEO of the company, the director of the film had to step in to help her build momentum, and he had to take part of his time to attend the Oscars. However, what Liang Long didn't expect was that things came one after another, and the Oscar organizing committee actually called Liang Long and invited Liang Long to be the guest of honor for the Oscars, and Liang Long could only agree. Then Shirley and Mark called Liang Long separately, saying that "Peerless Tribulation" and "Terracotta Warriors" were both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Awards, and asked him to find a time to help go back to publicity.

"It's really not much of a story." Liang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then looked at this year from the perspective of honor, and now there are really enough failures this year, "Black Boxer Girl is Not Me", "Man 100%", "Street Dance Boy", "Terracotta Warriors" and "Peerless Tribulation" The six films only got three nominations, two of which overlapped.

However, this year's Disney Company, to be precise, should be McMillage Independent Film Company, a subsidiary of Disney Company, and this year's "The English Patient" won eleven nominations horribly, and I don't know how many gold people it will win in the end. And this also aroused Liang Long's desire for honor: "Next year, no matter what, I must get the golden man, even if there is "Titanic" in the way, I will push this roadblock away." ”
