On March 29, 1976, the 48th Academy Awards were held as scheduled at the Los Angeles Music Center in California, USA. Kandy later became the second musician to conduct music on stage and hold a golden figurine. 【Reading.com】

There is no suspense in the Oscars without Oriental directors, and the five awards of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay were all won by "One Flew Over the Asylum", which is another film that swept the Little Golden Man trophy after "Rocky".

The film is directed by Milos. Foreman was already drunk when he was interviewed, and he said to the reporters without hiding his ecstasy: "Hey, look at the five little golden figures in my hand, are they more dazzling than the directors of the East, but I feel that this is not enough, because he has not participated in the Oscars for two years, please tell Tiger that it is quite lonely without his Oscars!" ”

Since Wang Xiaohu swept the 46th Oscars, Hollywood directors have subconsciously regarded it as a goal to transcend, so they have worked hard to make each film more beautiful, all in order to surpass Wang Xiaohu and break the shadow left in their hearts by this oriental. Nowadays Milos. Foreman did it, but only one more than Wang Xiaohu in terms of the number of golden figures, the box office of "One Flew Over the Asylum" was not as hot as "Jaws" at all, in fact, no movie at this Oscar could compare with "Jaws" at the box office.

In the absence of Wang Xiaohu at the Oscars, Milos. Foreman thought that this so-called transcendence did not have the slightest pleasure, and could not help but take advantage of the alcohol to make such a scratch.

What's the use of getting more trophies or not? Honor is so pale and powerless under the temptation of the box office.

Therefore, the shadow left by Wang Xiaohu to Hollywood directors has not been removed, and even tightly binds them like a curse, forcing them to find a way out, otherwise, they will live in the shadow of Wang Xiaohu for the rest of their lives.

Spielberg, who hurriedly flew back to Los Angeles from Hong Kong to attend the Oscars, was caught by reporters when asked what he was busy with lately.

He posed a few Wing Chun poses in front of the camera, and then showed off his tanned skin and said: "George, George, and our team are all doing something in Southeast Asia that is beneficial to filmmakers all over the world, well, very memorable, and we are currently entering the post-refinement stage, I believe that soon, you will be surprised to see this movie." Oh, I almost forgot, I recently learned Wing Chun with Tiger for half a year, haha, who wants to be my human flesh punching bag? ”

Spielberg's eagerness to try it surprised all the reporters, is this still the same Steven they once knew? There is no doubt that he must have encountered a lot of interesting things in the six months he left Los Angeles, so much so that he has become so funny now.

Just half a month after Spielberg returned to Los Angeles, Lucas also returned to Los Angeles with the team of Industrial Light & Magic, and they also brought back the scripts of "Contact of the Third Kind" and "et. Alien", which is something that Wang Xiaohu promised earlier, after all, the special effects shooting of "Earthbreaking" wasted more than half a year, and if you don't show your face in front of the audience as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be forgotten by the audience.

As for George. Lucas, after half a year of training, he has more feelings in special effects, and his shooting skills are more skilled, he did not give up any opportunity to improve the special effects of "Star Wars" during his time in Thailand, and then he immediately recorded these inspirations, in just half a year, his inspiration was also gathered into a booklet, Wang Xiaohu saw it and laughed that these booklets are priceless, even Lucas himself thinks so.

What kind of effect will the team achieve after half a year of running-in, the answer is clear at a glance, Industrial Light & Magic has put more energy into the filming of "Star Wars" than before, because the technology and experience at this time are quite mature, so they will not be confused and distressed about this kind of problem, Lucas has already started to enter the selection of actors.

In the eyes of others, Lucas's filming of the movie seems to be a bit upside down, but he doesn't think so, it is with nearly two years of polishing, Industrial Light & Magic is completely ready for all preparations for "Star Wars", if the actors are selected for filming in the early stage, the actors' schedules may be delayed due to many technical problems, and the actors' fees still account for the main part of the film's shooting after all.

After repeated discussions with Wang Xiaohu, Harrison, who had worked with Lucas in "American Style Painting". Ford was brought in to play the role of the captain of the space smuggling ship, Han. The role of Su Luo, while playing another important role in the film "Skywalker" Luke's Mark. Hamill has only had experience in TV series before.

Slightly more famous is Kelly who plays Princess Leila. Fisher, although she only played a small role in "Chambord" at this time, but because of her parents ("Lady in the Rain" heroine Debbie. Reynolds and a generation of singers Eddie. Fei Xue) grew up in the public eye since childhood.

At the same time as the "Star Wars" actors were confirmed, Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, and John Woo, the three backbones of Concord, also rushed to Los Angeles, and they were invited by Lucas to present the most exciting action and fight design for "Star Wars".

"Don't worry, George, they'll design great fight scenes for you." Wang Xiaohu said on the phone full of confidence, in fact, as early as a long time ago, he began to work on the action design of "Star Wars", after all, the aesthetics of Westerners are very different from those of the East, not to mention Skywalker with a "lightsaber", so at the beginning, Wang Xiaohu designed the action concept around the perspective of Westerners, as for how to do the detailed action, it depends on the ability of Yuan Heping and the three of them.

"Hey, after all, the selling point of Star Wars is not action, it's visual sci-fi." Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone and said to himself: "It's good to let Big Eyes and Sanmao exercise, as for Wu Yusen, it's also good to feel the atmosphere." ”

President Liang brought bad news to Wang Xiaohu in mid-April: the mainland is now unstable, and it is not the best time.

Later, Wang Xiaohu knew what this instability meant, since the beginning of the Qingming Festival, the domestic people spontaneously held the "mourning Premier Zhou, against the Gang of 4" activities, this upsurge was immediately responded to by the people of all ethnic groups across the country, [***] The square was full of bicycles, the monument to the people's heroes was full of wreaths, and the domestic situation was chaotic for a while, and finally

However, President Liang quickly comforted: "At present, the above still attaches great importance to this movie, let me inform you not to worry, and wait for the situation to stabilize before going over to shoot." ”

Whether this is said above or President Liang's casual nonsense, Wang Xiaohu doesn't know, in short, it once again confirms his original guess, he has to drag it back, as for when it will be delayed, no one knows. "As long as we can get us in and shoot by mid-June."

"Why does it have to be mid-June?" President Liang asked inexplicably.

"Because I'm a businessman, it's impossible to waste more time on a movie, and if the film is delayed due to mainland reasons, then I have to give up, and then I will use the funds to build Concorde Studios." Wang Xiaohu also casually made an excuse: "You should know that this movie burned more than 100 million yuan in the special effects part alone, and I don't have much capital turnover." ”

Businessmen pursue profits, this is a natural thing, not to mention that from the beginning to the present, "Earth-shattering" has all been invested and filmed by Wang Xiaohu alone, and the three leftist film companies have not paid half a penny, and they have also sent people to Thailand to study.

President Liang showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and then nodded and said, "I'll arrange it as soon as possible." ”

As the day approached, Wang Xiaohu had to put pressure on President Liang, if he could get in direct contact with the mainland now, he would not waste time on lip service.

After returning home, Wang Xiaohu teased his son for a while, and then said to Zhao Yazhi: "Azhi, I may have to go to China recently." ”

"yes, I know." Zhao Yazhi seemed to be mentally prepared, she looked at her husband's puzzled eyes, and said with a smile: "Because you have been dreaming and talking about dreams these days, talking about something in the country." ”

"I'm talking in my sleep?" Wang Xiaohu was taken aback, and said that he had a dream at night, which was really true. "What did I say in my dreams?"

"What kind of earthquake, filming, it's too late, you have to rescue it quickly, there are a lot of terms you don't understand, it seems to be saving people in a hurry." Zhao Yazhi thought for a while and said: "Ah Hu, in fact, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, I feel that my life is very happy at present, we have a prince, we have no worries about food and clothing, you don't have to work so hard at all." ”

"Hehe, maybe I was born to work hard." Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't say anything else in my dream, did I?" ”

"Nope."

"Oh, it looks like I've been under too much pressure lately." Wang Xiaohu sighed, feeling helpless.
