Chapter 420: "The Silence of the Lambs" starts
At the 60th Academy Awards, the last award broke out a big upset, and "Rain Man" won the Best Picture at this year's Oscars!
"Rain Man", which received eight nominations, won a total of three awards at this Oscar, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture.
Although it is not as good as "The Last Emperor", which won nine nominations and eight awards, these three awards are full of weight, and "Rain Man" is even more popular than "The Last Emperor".
After the best film was announced, Lin Qingxia felt like she was in a dream.
In 85, Chen Ping'an was shortlisted for the Academy Awards with "Police Story", and it seems that he also received eight nominations, most of which failed, and finally won the award for Best Picture, thus starting his legendary journey in the Hong Kong film industry.
Today in the United States, at the Oscars, it was the same, with eight nominations, the Golden Globe Award was lost, and it was not favored all the way, and finally won the Best Picture Award unexpectedly...... Is this the rhythm of starting a new saga?
It is unknown whether Chen Ping'an can achieve such dazzling achievements in the Hong Kong film industry in the United States. After his "Rain Man" won two awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture, the most intuitive change was his popularity and the overseas release of "Rain Man".
After the Oscars, a large number of reporters surrounded him for interviews, full of expectations for the upcoming "Silence of the Lambs" written and directed by him.
Chen Ping'an is also very good at using media publicity, first expressing his feelings after winning the award, and then began to promote his self-written and directed "The Silence of the Lambs".
"Although the cost is less than 20 million, it will not affect the excellence of this thriller in the slightest."
"Is it the same thriller as Midnight Bell?" A reporter asked.
"No, it's a different thriller that will bring a different shock to the audience."
A brief answer to a reporter's question about the film "The Silence of the Lambs". Chen Ping'an officially introduced Anthony Hopkins and Lin Qingxia to reporters and media.
This is one of the charms of the Oscars, the winners will get more attention and anticipation, and "The Silence of the Lambs" has not yet started. It has attracted widespread attention, and this is the first time Chen Ping'an has enjoyed this kind of treatment.
in the newspaper the next day. "The Silence of the Lambs" successfully entered the public eye with the east wind of this Oscar.
As the director of the best picture "Rain Man", the winner of the best original screenplay, and also nominated for best director, the free publicity offensive for "The Silence of the Lambs" is in full swing.
The newspaper also mentioned that the Hong Kong-style thriller "Midnight Bell", which caused a sensation in the United States last year, was also directed by Chen Ping'an, and the sales of the videotape of "Midnight Bell" have skyrocketed.
The pace of overseas distribution of "Rain Man" has accelerated significantly, and distributors from various countries have taken the initiative to contact them. Preferential conditions and treatment are only to be able to obtain the agent issuance of the rain man and introduce it into the country as soon as possible.
The Oriental Daily News and Ming Pao were so efficient that the press release was sent back to Hong Kong the night after the Oscars. Chen Ping'an won the best original screenplay, and "Rain Man" won the best picture, which caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Chen Ping'an's women are also honored, excited by Chen Ping'an's achievements, and have called to congratulate, and at the same time to pour out the pain of lovesickness. Night. Zhong Chuhong was also very excited in bed, and the two fought for a long time before they rudely withdrew their troops.
Chen Ping'an received a lot of congratulatory calls. There are Americans, there are people from Hong Kong and Taiwan, they are all acquaintances and friends, and there are ...... Enemy.
For example, Cai Songlin of Scholar Pictures made a special call to congratulate him, which ruined Chen Ping'an's good mood.
Cai Songlin called, and in addition to congratulating Chen Ping'an on winning the Oscars, he also made an invitation to go to Taiwan this year. Meet the people he wants to meet.
Is this the mastermind behind the scenes, who can't bear it, and plans to show his head?
Chen Ping'an really wants to know the real black hand who has been calculating behind the scenes. also once asked Cai Songlin and Cai Ziming.
Cai Ziming also wants to use this as a bargaining chip to violently force dark horse international artists to film. Sowing the seeds of death.
Now Cai Songlin said that his boss invited him to Taiwan for a meeting, although Chen Ping'an wanted to know who this guy was and what grudges he had with him, but the rhythm could not be controlled by the other party.
Therefore, he told Cai Songlin very unceremoniously, and he will talk about the second half of the year in the second half of the year. If he had time, he could have found time to meet the despicable villain who didn't dare to show his face. But when the time comes, the time and place will be determined by him.
At the end of every Oscars, there are always voices of skepticism, and this year is no exception.
Some people think that "The Last Emperor" is better than "Rain Man" and is more eligible for Best Picture, but others believe that "Rain Man" is a classic, a gift from Chen Ping'an to the American public, and the best director should be awarded to Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an didn't pay attention to this kind of quarrel, his energy was focused on "The Silence of the Lambs", a low-budget thriller about to start!
On the day of the start-up, many reporters came to interview, and Chen Ping'an filmed several dramas in the United States, which was the first time.
In addition to reporters, Jon Voight also came to the scene and told the media that he likes to watch "Midnight Bell" very much, and is also optimistic about Chen Ping'an's thriller skills, and believes that "The Silence of the Lambs" will not disappoint.
Chen Ping'an understood that this was Jon Voight's way of apologizing and thanking.
Not only Jon Voight, but also Distin Hoffman, Schwarzenegger, Eddie Murphy, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Whoopi, Zhong Chuhong and other stars have publicly declared that they are very interested in "The Silence of the Lambs" directed by Chen Ping'an when facing reporters, and I believe this will be another successful film directed by Chen Ping'an.
The circle is bigger, the status is higher, and the people are wider, and Chen Ping'an's influence is increasing day by day. In normal times, don't say that irrelevant stars express their opinions on the movies he makes, I'm afraid that reporters will not lead the topic in this direction.
Like this time, a reporter actually interviewed Tom Cruise and asked him what he thought of "The Silence of the Lambs".
The film was filmed in San Francisco. Because of "Police Story", the San Francisco Police Department was very enthusiastic about the crew and opened the door to provide a police station for filming.
"One last check for each department!"
"Anthony, remember that feeling. You're a perverted murderer, but you have your pride, even if you're behind bars. Your pride has never changed. ”
"Qingxia, pay attention to the details of my psychology. You're new to the Bureau of Investigation, you're not taken seriously, and this is your first case, and you're excited and a little worried, that ambivalence, and the nervousness and anticipation of meeting Hannibal. ”
"The drama is sure that there will be no more idle people waiting to come and go!"
"Camera No. 3 pays attention to the position, don't shoot yourself in!"
"The Silence of the Lambs" Scene 23, Shot 5, Shot 1, Ikesh!"
Lin Qingxia hesitated slightly and walked to the cell where Anthony was. Camera No. 2 follows her, giving Hannibal a frontal view from the camera's perspective.
Anthony in prison uniform was dressed very energetically, his hair was combed back, he stood upright, and a faint confident smile on his face, which not only showed his gentlemanly demeanor, but also made people feel his pride from the heart.
"Good morning."
"Dr. Ryder, I'm Lin, can I have a few words with you?"
"You're from Crawford, aren't you?"
"Yes. Can I see your ID? ”
"Absolutely." Lin Qingxia took out her ID and showed it to Anthony.
Anthony said, "Come closer, excuse me." ”
……
The whole filming process. The No. 3 camera has been behind Lin Qingxia, and the shots are all Anthony's face, and Lin Qingxia has always appeared in the back.
After this shooting, I have to shoot again, and then the camera will be set up in the cell to shoot Lin Qingxia's face and Anthony's back. In post-editing, the two parts are edited to become the last part that appears on the screen.
"Cards! Good, good. That's how it feels, shoot again. The camera goes to prison, and everyone rests after filming! ”
"The Silence of the Lambs" was filmed relatively smoothly.
Lin Qingxia filmed during the day. Chen Ping'an opened a small stove for her at night to tutor her alone...... Well, tutoring in bed.
Zhong Chuhong returned to Quebec to film, and after Chen Ping'an and Lin Qingxia were filming, there would be some "deep exchanges" on that side. Lin Qingxia was full of convincing Chen Ping'an, who was several years younger than herself, and completely followed Chen Ping'an's instructions and requirements to create the image of Lin, a Chinese female detective who had not yet graduated.
Anthony, an old actor, is very reassuring. In order to play the role in the film, he studied many serial killer cases during his time in the UK, visited prisoners in prison, and went to the court to observe the trial, just to be able to grasp the complex inner world of the character, play the role, and perform the essence.
During the break, Gu Tianle handed the drink to Chen Ping'an, who took a sip and asked, "Gu Zai, how long have you been with me?" ”
"It's been more than half a year, and I don't remember the specific time."
"Will you follow me?"
"Yes, many friends are very envious of me and the big head."
"Huh." Chen Ping'an nodded, "You have also watched a few of my films, do you feel anything?" ”
"Feelings?" Gu Tianle scratched his head, "No, it's nothing, I just think filming is fun." Boss, I haven't filmed, I'll help you find the big head, he played a role in your play. ”
"No, I'm just asking you." Speaking of this, Chen Ping'an put down his drink and looked at Gu Tianle seriously, "Have you ever thought about filming?" ”
"Huh? I? Filming? ”
Gu Tianle didn't know how to answer.
has been by Chen Ping'an's side for several months, often watching the crew filming, and most of them are even addicted. However, he didn't think much of it, and just played the role of his own driver conscientiously.
For people like them, it is great luck to be able to follow Chen Ping'an. Not only does he go ashore, but he also has a good way out, and he will enter the Dark Horse International Security Department in the future, how can he be a supervisor.
He really didn't think about filming, and he didn't expect Chen Ping'an to train him to embark on the road of acting and become a big star in the future! (To be continued) R655
