Chapter 431: "Codename Shero" and "Dominating Hollywood"
"The reason why I'm here tonight is because the organising committee told me that next year they will pay me for a trophy. So I agreed to give the award for Best Director, and when I asked them if they would use the Best Director trophy as a reward, they replied, 'No, Mr. Shen, aren't you going to continue to make TV dramas this year, and you don't have any films?' I said I'd make one then, because I'm famous for making movies fast. And they said, 'We can't promise that until we see the movie.'" So I asked, "Then what trophy are you going to give me?" So they replied that they would follow Venice's example and give me a special trophy. ”
When Shen Zhenghui said this joke to liven up the atmosphere, there was already a ball of laughter below.
“…… They have decided that even if I don't shoot anything today, they will give me a top box office director's award. Shen Zhenghui's speech sparked even more laughter, "I don't think this is an award at all, it's just a fact, and this award can't play a role in praise at all." So they said to me, 'Yes, Mr. Shen, if Peter. Jackson and James. If Cameron doesn't work hard while you're filming a TV series, we can invite you to be the guest of honor every year in the name of presenting this award. ’”
The audience remembered the fierce applause.
So after talking about his fate with the Oscars - in fact, there is no fate, Shen Zhenghui presented the Best Director Award to tonight's lucky winner - "Birdman".
……
"To be honest, I didn't find it fun to be part of this awards show at all." Shen Zhenghui tilted his head, and Angela, who was sitting next to him. Mason said.
"This is because you really didn't have a film that participated in the awards, otherwise your state of mind would be very different." Angela. Mason replied.
"Do you think the Oscars are authoritative and representative?"
"Apparently not," Angela. Mason spread his hands, "It's just that you're in this game." Naturally, you have to choose to play according to the rules of the game. Do you want your new film to be part of this kind of competition? ”
"I think my film can only win a technical award." Shen Zhenghui said indifferently, "The reason why I participated in this award is more from other aspects. ”
"Considering that your president is going to visit the United States this year?" Angela. Mason was excited, "Will we be able to see you in the follow-up group then?" ”
"Maybe," Shen replied, and then he looked at Angela. Mason. "Before that, I want to confirm the August schedule."
"As long as you can make sure it gets it on time." Angela said in a firm tone, "Otherwise, I'll have to use the prepared film to go on top." ”
"And what about our heroine?"
"Based on your blonde and the requirements to look smart, as well as your age, we have all things considered, and I personally prefer Emma. Watson, of course, Emma. Stone is not bad either. She's been flicking at you all night tonight, and on top of that, Emma. Roberts can too, her aunt called me. ”
"We have to hurry, after all, we still have four weeks of combat training before the official start of filming."
"Of course, they all said that there was no problem with the schedule, and by the way, it is worth mentioning that if you choose Emma. Roberts' words. Her aunt is willing to deign to make a cameo in the movie as her mother. ”
"Condescension?"
"Well, she's honored to come and make a cameo role."
Shen Zhenghui rubbed his face. "Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with these three girls."
He was attacked by Angela. Mason's interjection, "Yes, anyway, in your movie, the role is not important, it is more important to be the director." ”
"You've won the prize," Shen replied. "I mean off-screen factors don't have much of an impact on the movie itself, and we don't need to say that we want to have a higher box office and choose Hermione. Miss Granger, the film of the female lead allows us to be less stressed when it comes to pay, and if it is a male actor like Leonardo, the off-screen factor is indeed much greater. ”
"So?"
"I'd like to interview them sometime."
"It's a good time. Most of them are in the United States. "Angela. Mason replied.
"Don't you have a problem with actors?"
"Of course I believe in your professionalism." Shen Zhenghui grinned, "Strictly speaking, the actor in this film is the vase." ”
"Okay," Angela. Mason shrugged his shoulders, "I don't understand why the supporting actress is arranged to be an Indian girl, according to your habits, shouldn't it be arranged as a Chinese girl?" ”
"You can see that we are trying to open up the Indian market," Shen Zhenghui said casually, "but the most important thing is that the original author wrote it like this, and I think it is more in line with the receptivity of the Americans, the appearance of Chinese characters is a bit abrupt for them, and more importantly, it is enough for the director himself to be Chinese, not to mention the screenwriter." ”
Angela. Mason smiled, "You know what? She said, "In Hollywood, there are already some people who are very wary of your behavior, and this kind of direct introduction of Chinese scripts makes Hollywood local screenwriters feel great pressure." ”
"It's just me, right?"
"Of course not," Angela said. Mason chuckled, "Since "The Magic Apprentice" became a global hit, major film companies have increased their exploration of online novel themes, and this field is obviously the fastest growing in China. Most of this was co-produced by their branches in China, and of course, it hasn't completely evolved to the point of going directly to the United States to shoot and release it, and you have opened a path for them. ”
"It's an honor."
"In the past few years, you have been busy shooting TV series and not making movies, which makes them a little hesitant in this direction, but I heard that China itself is developing quite quickly in this field?"
"Yes, but China's practice is not very standardized, and the screenwriter's voice in the film and TV drama industry is still too small, and sometimes it can't play a big role."
"Even so," Angela said. Mason continued, "Hollywood is feeling the pressure, too. Chinese online literature in particular seems to be a huge treasure trove, and you've shown them that there are enough stories about Western themes. ”
Shen Zhenghui smiled, "They will be surprised to find that the Chinese know enough about the West." ”
"Enough surprise." Angela. Mason pursed his lips.
……
The preparation and progress of Codename Shero is going well, and Emma . Watson will play Kelly. The role of Johnson. To do this, she gave up the role of princess in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Of course, Hermione. Granger's arrival in Codename Shero naturally sparked interest in Harry Potter fans around the world. Of course. Some Chinese online novel readers, and I mean readers who have read "Dominating Hollywood", were very surprised to get a surprise Easter egg, even if the heroine who starred in this movie is not J.J., but just seeing "Codename Shero" actually appear, they are enough to be surprised. These people are happy to repeat the news that Director Shen Zhenghui and Director Shen are actually reading online novels in Jinjiang, but in fact, Shen Zhenghui's reading of online novels is not news for a long time, otherwise "The Legend of Wukong", "Magic Apprentice" and "War 1938" will not become film and television works, and they may celebrate more that Mii Cooka has become the second Jinjiang author to enter the film and television industry after the crazy loser
What's even more interesting is that "Codename Shero" is a drama within a work. This original script from "Dominating Hollywood" satisfies the bad taste of some Chinese people in another sense, and with everyone's attention to "Codename Shero", "Dominating Hollywood" has also increased its attention by the way. Then there are really poor and extremely boring people who translated "Dominating Hollywood" and circulated it to European and American forums.
This is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.
This originally started with "Codename Shero", Chinese netizens with pride, when European and American netizens were still speculating about what the superhero plot and shooting style of the female protagonist would be, directly disclosed the plot of the drama within the play, and then they continued to spoil this is just a drama within a work in a work in a work in spoiler with bad intentions. It was only a very short part of a Hollywood YY production, when "Dominating Hollywood" was gradually translated into English. This work suddenly set off a storm on the European and American forum networks.
Unlike China's well-informed netizens, who are widely influenced by the waves of the Internet, European and American netizens are more likely to be below average, of course, they naturally know what works are going on, but in terms of the types of works, their knowledge is still quite narrow. Most of them are confined to all kinds of fanfiction. Even Shen Zhenghui made a template for them to cross. But that's history.
Therefore, when an entertainment article appears on the Internet, especially when it is so closely integrated with the real Hollywood, all kinds of insider stories and rules described are all in a state of mind, which looks unclear, and fiction and reality are intertwined. All of a sudden, it hit the three views of European and American netizens. In particular, the entertainment industry is the industry sector with the most exciting happens, and it has the widest and largest audience.
It's like Shen Zhenghui's time-traveling historical dramas, even though they attract the vast majority of people to watch, the people involved in the discussion and quarrel are still limited to a range. But the entertainment stuff, the number of people involved in discussions and quarrels, and the historical subject matter are definitely not an order of magnitude. Fans of various stars, whether they were hacked, liked, or replaced in the novel, all participated in this big discussion. Western audiences are hungry for all the fun of this Chinese depiction of Hollywood. They are not even able to form a general understanding of the work. Chinese people who are widely influenced by online novels are naturally well-informed and will not be confused by such works, but Western netizens are still in a certain initial stage, and they are like readers in the pioneering era of online literature, confused by novel themes and changeable storylines, regard this work as a masterpiece, begin to worship, and then begin to discuss and tear up the details of various plots. After reading this novel, many people are convinced of the content described in the plot, and they feel that they have been deceived by celebrities, brokerage companies and film companies for many years.
Then, the topicality caused by this novel continued to ferment, and gradually invaded the real media, and some media even felt that this was a critical realist novel that lifted the lid on Hollywood. Aside from a few fictional characters, all the stars who really appear in the novel are asked by media reporters if they feel that they are consistent with the image in the novel.
Then, as if setting off a scandal in Hollywood, everyone related to film and television media was consciously or unconsciously influenced to read this book, and the worst thing is that this novel is an infringing work in a sense, and a large number of real characters appear in the novel without authorization. As a result, there is no physical version of the book, and it must be read online.
A lot of funny people, like James. Cameron said the novel was a lot of fun — and he said he was very interested in the adaptation of "Codename Shero." Of course, many people think that Cameron said this because he is a completely positive image in this novel - and the novel's praise of Cameron makes him happy. He wouldn't even come forward to claim that the novel violated his rights.
Robert. Marshall also made the assessment of amusement, but he can't say much more, such as the various stories he has in the novel. His family also thinks that this is because he has a positive image in the novel, and more people say in media interviews that I haven't read the novel because I can't buy it, and I don't have time to surf the Internet.
Naturally, the media will not let go of Shen Zhenghui, who is preparing "Codename Shero", but Shen Zhenghui very clearly refused most of the interviews, and only issued a public statement saying that the reason why he filmed "Codename Shero" was because he felt that the author's point of view of the novel might be right - as for infringement or anything, at least it has nothing to do with "Codename Shero". This matter has come full circle, and none of the actors or directors involved in the novel have come forward to claim that the novel is infringing, including those who were hacked.
Eventually, the actors' union protested to China's Ministry of Commerce in the name of the union, protesting against the novel's infringement. But for this novel, making such a big splash is enough success for the novel and the author of the novel. (To be continued......)
