Chapter 162: Julia's blockbuster

Honor can often make people more justified, such as the current Liang Xiaolong, "My Leader, My Group" has just set a new record, but if you want to shout "I am the strongest director", he is a little lacking in confidence, because he lacks a bottle of best director. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Similarly, Cameron didn't dare to shout so now, and he didn't dare to shout when "Titanic" broke the box office record, until the Oscars, the moment he got the little golden man, he shouted "I am the king of the world".

Similarly, the more golden statuettes, the heavier the company's heritage, and the more convenient it will be in publicity. If Liang Xiaolong can get the golden man of best director, and the film will be released in the future, he can promote it under the slogan of Oscar Best Director and Best Screenplay, wouldn't the effect be better?

Listening to Carl's muttering, Liang Xiaolong felt that he should work hard for Oscar. But this year is basically no drama, "Titanic" is too ferocious.

When he got home, he hugged Rachel: "Baby, what are your plans for next year?" Rachel smiled: "If you can get the Oscar, take a break for a while, and if you can't, then continue to work hard for the Oscar." ”

"What about "Tomb Robber Mi City"?" Liang Xiaolong roughly explained the plot of the film, and then said some of Mark's thoughts: "This drama returns to Egypt and is a continuation of the first orthodox, if you change the protagonist, it will easily affect the box office, so I think we should start and finish well and take this drama." ”

"That'll do fine." After thinking about it, Rachel still nodded, but in terms of salary, she put forward her own opinion, she took $15 million when filming "Immortal War", if she can become an Oscar actress next year, her status will inevitably rise, and her salary will inevitably rise, and there can be no change in this regard, because if you can't get the salary for the next film after the movie, it will be difficult to increase the salary in the future. Therefore, according to her idea, she will get $15 million first, and if she becomes an Oscar-winning actress next year, Disney will have to make up $5 million to make her enter the 20 million club.

Such a request is reasonable, because at that time, "The Return of the Mummy of the Tomb Robber Mi City" must not have been released, and if Rachel wins the Oscar, the box office appeal will increase a lot, and an extra $5 million is nothing. Liang Xiaolong called Mark and told Rachel what he thought, and Mark happily agreed.

Liang Xiaolong is also very leisurely during this time, in addition to writing polyphenylene ether, he is nesting at home with his wife, Huang, the box office of the new week is out again, the third week of the release of "Drop of the Heart", still won 38 million US dollars in the United States, which should be considered very good, but the overseas box office is still sluggish, and it can even be said that it continues to decline, and it is only the second week of release, and the box office is only 21 million US dollars, which makes people have a headache when they look at it. Karl has already decided that in another week, he will be fully painted overseas, and he won't make much money anyway.

Following "Perfect", Helen. Hunter once again conquered the audience with his brilliance, and "The Runaway Bride" topped the box office with $53 million this week. John Woo's "Changing Face" also won second place this week. It is worth mentioning that the film "Changing Face" has a certain influence on Hong Kong films and Hollywood films, and the two directors of "Mai Zhuang" came up with the idea of creating "Infernal Affairs" after watching John Woo's "Changing Face", and this film has brought a new wind to the considerable film that is about to be forgotten. In 06, Hollywood adapted "Infernal Affairs" into "Infernal Affairs", which not only swept away $290 million at the box office in Hollywood, but also gained something at the Oscars.

"A Little Drop of the Heart" gradually withdrew from the competition for the box office list, and Yanhuang Film Company immediately launched "Love Mi Chocolate", which is still more anticipated by the audience than other films, because it announces Julia's comeback. Since "The Bride Is Not Me", Julia, the Oscar-winning actress, has bid farewell to the screen for more than a year, and countless actresses are looking forward to her reappearing on the screen, especially her hardcore actress.

"Are you still envious?" Liang Xiaolong whispered in Rachel's ear, he remembered that when "The Bride Is Not Me" was released, Julia was pregnant and would leave the screen for the time being.

"Of course...... No," Rachel giggled, "The Cops and the Thieves" plus the "Tomb Robber" trilogy grossed nearly $2 billion, and her popularity was very close to Julia.

"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed this feeling." Julia greeted the filmmakers and sighed that as a filmmaker, after gaining fame and fortune, she pays more attention to the attitude of the filmmakers, and if she can be liked by more filmmakers, she will naturally have a greater sense of satisfaction in her heart.

"Love Mi Chocolate" is not a mainstream film, magical realism plus emotional films, this kind of film usually does not have a very high box office, and the box office of 200 million can show that this is a film that is too good to be good. However, Liang Xiaolong didn't want to make too much profit on this film, and the reason why he wrote this script was just to hope that Julia's comeback would get off to a good start, so that the filmmakers would think that she had taken a break for more than a year, but her acting skills did not fall, and she was still the Oscar-winning actress Julia.

But the quality of the film is really overwhelming, especially Julia's performance, which almost perfectly portrays the charismatic, intelligent, and sensitive heroine. A student from the Faculty of Arts wrote on the film network: "A beautiful, intelligent, sensitive woman, two or three mediocre people, a male protagonist, but she has long been tamed, some seemingly insurmountable obstacles, a **, twenty pounds of misfortune, a hundred ounces of happiness, and a happy ending." This sentence fully agrees with Julia's acting skills, and also roughly explains the structure of the story.

However, there is also a relatively big regret in the film, magicism triumphs over realism, but in terms of the background of the film, this is also the inevitable ending of the story. The Los Angeles Times quoted a quote from the film, which is also Tina's grandmother's statement of love: "We are born with a box of matches in our hearts. We can't light it ourselves, we need oxygen and candles to help. Oxygen must come from the lover's breath, and a candle can be anything, a song, a word, a caressing, a voice...... Anything that ignites it. Each person must find what keeps him alive, because the light of the match burst ignites our souls. If nothing ignites our souls, our matches will become damp and we will never be able to light it again, of course, the most important thing is that you can only light one match at a time, because if there is a violent outburst of emotion, they will be used up all at once, and they will emit a very strong light, so that you will see a very bright passage, this is the passage that we have long forgotten to come to this world, this way of life is calling us to go back, to return to God. ”

Therefore, John, who understands what is the love of Ji Lie, and who understands what the love of tolerance is, finally loses to the love of Paul, who knows how to be self-si. Here, it can only be said that, God willing, there may be someone who will light that match in John's heart again.

The story, although perfect in the end, is more or less regrettable and more touching, especially young women, after watching the film, they suddenly find that if they can find a man who thinks like John, then they will definitely live a happy life. On the contrary, if you find a man like Paul, you may love vigorously, but the ending may not be as perfect as in the film, because in real life, it is impossible for magicalism to defeat realism.

"Bit of the Heart" was released, and Yanhuang Film Company still had two films in its hands that had already completed post-production, but in order to stagger the release time, it was still in hand. These two films are "Notting Hill" and "Boys Don't Cry", but these two films will also be released this year, and they must dare to be released before "Titanic", so as to ensure that the film is not affected by "Titanic".

But there is one point, Yanhuang Film Company must speed up the filming progress, otherwise next year will be the same as this year, there will be a vacancy in the first half of the year, and only one film "Speed and Feeling" will be launched. Carl has now begun to screen the script, and at the same time urged Liang Xiaolong to draft, Liang Xiaolong said: "The script of the TV series version of "My Leader, My Group" will be completed this week, and I will start writing the script next week. Carl said: "The script of the TV series is not so anxious, and filming will start next year, so if you want me to say, let's write the script of the movie first." ”

"Man, don't you know that thinking about the scripts of two different films at the same time can make your head uneasy?" Liang Xiaolong doesn't like to use two things, it is easy to mess up, and the things he writes are also easy to mess up, and even leave out some things, or add some inexplicable things to it inexplicably.

"Anyway, you just need to hurry, I have screened out several scripts now, and after the last round of screening, I will start preparing for filming immediately." Carl quickly cut off the call, he has been very busy recently, the company has a lot of things to manage, as well as evaluating the commercial value of the script with the evaluation team, the most important thing is to keep an eye on the international financial market, he himself smashed in 900 million US dollars, of which 600 million was borrowed by Guan Liang Xiaolong, and Liang Xiaolong's 500 million US dollars are also in his hands, such a huge amount of capital operation, he does not dare to slack off. Of course, with such a huge amount of capital operation, he also set up his own investment department, and he can't manage it alone.

"The response was so strong, and Julia's performance was wonderful, definitely not as good as Helen. Hunter's performance in "Perfect". Rachel suddenly walked in and sat on Liang Xiaolong's tui, her face full of depression: "Honey, I have one more competitor." ”

Julia's performance in the film is indeed wonderful, fully showing the acting skills of actresses, and it is very likely to be nominated for an Oscar. In fact, in the previous life of this film, its heroine was also nominated for an Oscar, but she didn't take away the little golden man: "Baby, you have to have confidence in yourself, we have been planning "Boys Don't Cry" for so long, and your performance is definitely at the level of the actress, don't worry, whether it is Helen or Julia, they can't stop you from moving forward." ”

"But people are just worried, and the most afraid is that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment in the end." Rachel was very worried, or rather, there were some gains and losses. Indeed, as a Hollywood filmmaker, it would be false to say that she was not looking forward to the call of the Oscar, and it was even more fake to say that she was not eager to get the little golden man, after a few years of training, she might finally be called by the Oscar again, and she really cares.

"Baby, calm down, you are the best, no one can stop you." Liang Xiaolong kept comforting: "Do you think, there are still many months before the Oscars, and now you start to be anxious, so you don't have to be anxious for several months?" Wow...... I was anxious for several months, and I would have wrinkles and crow's feet. Rachel was amused and pinched him hard: "Okay, I'm going to be calm, then you can go shopping with me today." Liang Xiaolong turned off the computer casually: "Cheng, today I will sacrifice my life to accompany the woman, you can play as crazy as you want." ”

But at this moment, Julia suddenly called: "Man, I've already bought the vegetables, forty dishes, bring your whole family here." Liang Xiaolong hung up the phone and shrugged: "It seems that I can't go shopping, and Sister Big Mouth is going to pay off her debts." Rachel smiled: "That's better, adapt a sentence from Mi Long in "My Captain, My Regiment", there is a big meal to eat, and a fool is unwilling to eat it." ”

Betting on the box office and gambling on the big meal, this is the tradition of Bruce Leung and Julia, and Sophie is participating for the first time, and she feels a little awkward: "Otherwise, I'd better not go?" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Let's go, we are all friends, get together more, there is nothing bad." Sophie said, "But I don't feel right." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Silly words, this is the tradition of our two families, and no one can be left behind." ”

Julia and Danny were also busy all day, and when Liang Xiaolong's family came, the dishes were almost done, and then sighed: "Debt-free and light, unlike someone, who procrastinate and wants to cheat." Liang Xiaolong counterattacked: "I don't know who cheated first, but don't worry, when I finish the next few days, I will cook the dishes, and I will definitely kill you when the time comes." Julia smiled: "I believe this, you'd better get a table of Manchu Han, I heard Bruce and Ben say, you ate a table of Manchu Han when you were in Yunnan, Sophie, is it true?" ”

Sophie smiled and nodded: "That's right, but they are all chefs from Beijing, except for a few dishes such as braised bear paws because the ingredients are incomplete, a total of ninety-six dishes are made." Julia's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Ninety-six, then you have to set up several tables, right?" Find a time, I will also go to China for an imperial enjoyment. Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Then you have to fill your waist pack, don't run out of money to pay the bill when you finish eating." Julia giggled: "I'm not worried at all, when the time comes, I will call you at dinner, who will make you a big family." ”

Talking and laughing, the wine and food were served, and after Liang Xiaolong tasted them one by one, his stomach bulged: "I have to say, Danny, Sister Big Mouth, your skills have improved." But you have to thank me, without my oppression, your craftsmanship would not have improved, and your standard of living would not have improved. Julia laughed and scolded: "Yes, my skin is getting thicker, I used to have a royal chef at home, and I ate much better than now." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Can the dishes made by others be as fragrant as their own family?" Danny, do you think you'd rather eat the chef's food or would you rather eat the food made by Big Mouth's sister? ”

"Of course, it's your dear, so you have to carry forward the spirit of doing housework and cooking diligently in the future." Danny hurriedly pushed the boat down the river and fought for the family status, but in exchange for Julia's eyes, he could only sigh: "There will be milk, there will be bread, I will endure it, I will endure it." ”

Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Let me tell you a witty saying from our China, whether it is bitter or not, think about the Red Army's 25,000 long; Tired or not, think about the **old-timers. Then he translated the phrase: "So, Danny, you insist, one day the serf will turn over and become the master." ”

Julia picked up a piece of meat and smashed it over, scolding with a smile: "You are getting worse and worse, run to our house to sow discord if you have nothing to do." Then, she turned her gaze to Rachel: "Who is doing the housework in your family now?" Liang Xiaolong knew her bad idea, and hurriedly said: "Stop, let's get down to business, Sister Big Mouth, do you have any plans for next year?" ”

Julia gave him a blank look, but she was still interested in the topic, so she started talking: "If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate in a blockbuster film and experience a new shooting process." ”

Throughout Julia's acting career, it has been very successful both at the box office and word of mouth, but she has not yet filmed a blockbuster, which has to be said to be a relatively big regret. However, it is conceivable that if Julia participates in a blockbuster, she will definitely be sought after by countless films.

Liang Xiaolong thought for a while: "I also expect you to shoot a blockbuster, but if you want to shoot a blockbuster, it is inevitable that there will be some fighting scenes, you have to exercise, at least you have to pull the ligaments apart." Julia laughed: "So, you solved the script?" Liang Xiaolong said: "Anyway, you are a cash cow now, and I will stand under the tree to make money." ”

Soon, this week has passed, and the script of "My Leader, My Group" has finally been completed, but Liang Xiaolong can't breathe a sigh of relief, the script is completed, and it is the busiest time, about the serial version, to use those actors, these have to be carefully considered, and they may even have to return to China to find actors, to ensure that the quality of the film in the serial version is as exciting as the movie version.

In addition, he also has to plan a new script, and the blockbuster that Julia wants to participate in must be postponed first, because the blockbuster shooting cycle is long, from preparation to completion to post-production, it may not be completed in the first half of next year. Therefore, Liang Xiaolong still has to choose one or two small and medium-sized investment films, and try to get the film released early next year.

Although busy, but there are also gratifying, this week "The Runaway Bride" achieved good results, the box office of "Love Mi Chocolate" greatly surprised Liang Xiaolong.

ps: I watched a drama yesterday, even the drama type, "She Sai Huā", which describes the female general of Yangmen, ting touching, interested friends can watch it. Of course, drama can sometimes be more depressing to watch, after all, not everyone likes it.
