Chapter 263: The Beginning of a Dream (I)

There are few Chinese faces on the Oscars' red carpet. Even if there is an occasional one, it does not attract much media attention. But on the red carpet of this year's Oscars, there seems to be a change.

The moment Wen Yi walked on the red carpet, almost instantly attracted all the media's attention.

Wen Yi has been called a legend by the media in China, and has become a legend in the overseas media. More legendary than Bruce Lee back then.

Wen Yi was famous all over the world because of his kung fu. And after he became famous in the world, everyone knew about him. And after learning about it, no one was shocked by his experience.

Let's not talk about the explosive gossip about his origin. He made his debut as a musician, and he still holds the sales record for Chinese records. But instead of focusing on music, he took the path of film.

What's even more surprising is that he didn't systematically study music and film at all.

Demonic talent! When showing his demonic musical talent, he did not develop musically, but embarked on the road of film. And what is even more unexpected is that he is not powerful in these two things, but in his kung fu.

He is a genius and there is no controversy. His music, his films have received unexpected success. And it only took him a few years to go from being an unknown person to being known to the world. There is no other way to describe it than to describe it as genius.

Wen Yi is now a world-famous star, but he keeps a low profile. His deeds are known to everyone, but it makes people feel that there is a mystery in him.

A world-renowned kung fu master, but a famous musician. A famous filmmaker. Now. It was nominated for an Oscar. These identities are mixed together. undoubtedly doubled Wen Yi's fame.

Of course, Wen Yi's music is famous, and Wen Yi's movies are famous. However, what really makes Wen Yi have a huge fan base in the West is the kung fu he shows.

Wen Yi is wearing a Tang costume today, with a pair of mille-feuille bottoms on her feet, very Chinese-style dress. Of course, this is also Wen Yi's usual attire. Moreover, this outfit of his is already well-known to everyone. It has also been imitated by countless people.

Seem. If you dress him up, you can be a kung fu master like Wen Yi.

Wen Yi was with the crew of "The Departed", and the person who walked the red carpet with him was the director of "The Departed", Francisco.

"I don't know how many times I've walked on the red carpet of this Oscar. But I'm sure it's the one that gets the most media attention. Francisco smiled and said to Wen Yi, "Of course, this is taking your light!" No wonder the actors in the film seem to be willing to walk the red carpet with you. Unfortunately, the organizing committee did not let them get their wish. ”

"Huh. Perhaps Chinese faces appear too little on this red carpet. As soon as I walked on this red carpet, I stood out from the crowd. Wen Yi smiled and said.

Wen Yi's smile was very faint, but a sense of pain rose in his heart.

Walking into the theater, Wen Yi looked around. It's a pity that there are no two filmmakers in Hollywood that Wen Yi is familiar with. simply sat down in his position and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Hello! Mr. Wen Yi! Didn't bother you, did you? A voice suddenly sounded beside him. And it was spoken in Mandarin. It's just that the tone has a strong Xiangjiang flavor.

"Nope! It turned out to be Director Wu! Hello! Wen Yi glanced at the man, then got up, stretched out his hand and said.

"Hehe, hello!" Director Wu shook Wen Yi's hand.

Director Wu, called Wu Sen, is one word different from a big director in his previous life, but they are all big directors from Xiangjiang to Hollywood. Also good at gunfight movies. However, he is not as lucky as the director Wu in his previous life, nor does he have the disbelief of the director Wu in his previous life.

In his previous life, director Wu Da was fortunate to shoot almost high-grossing movies and was recognized by many film and television companies in Hollywood. And his misfortune is undoubtedly that he smashed a film, which became the last straw that crushed a big film company, and he ended up with a black pot. I can't get along in Hollywood anymore.

And this director Wu in this world, although he has also directed a few films in Hollywood, but unfortunately they are all small investments, and the script is not very good, although he has not lost money, but he has not made any money. I can mix in Hollywood, but I don't mix well. To put it mildly, it's a mess that is dead to death.

"I wonder when Mr. Wen Yi will return to China?" Director Wu opened his mouth and said, "I mean, if Mr. Wen Yi is free, don't bother to have a meal together." Some time ago, when he was with Cheng Jie and them, he also said that when would the people who ate in Hollywood get together. If Mr. Wen Yi can participate, it will be great. ”

"Oh! There was no problem in returning home two days late. Look at how this is, the day after tomorrow I will make the east, and invite you to gather. Please ask Director Wu to take a look at this matter and see if they have time. Wen Yi thought about it and then said.

"No problem. Everyone has time these days. Wu Sen smiled and said.

In fact, they all know that those of them who have been in Hollywood for many years are still inferior to Wen Yi, who has just arrived in Hollywood, or even not fully arrived in Hollywood.

is the best mixed Cheng Jie, although he can serve as the male lead in some films, and the salary is also the highest among Chinese actors in Hollywood. But he also knows that if Wen Yi really develops in Hollywood, and as an actor, there will definitely be countless film and television companies that invite him with scripts, and the salary is definitely higher than him. Even higher than some of Hollywood's A-list superstars.

However, he knew that if Wen Yi really wanted to develop in Hollywood, he would definitely not be an actor.

Not as a director, that is, as the owner of Jiayi's company to enter Hollywood. No matter which identity they are, they are much more confident than them.

Moreover, "Kung Fu" is a big hit, and their life as Chinese actors in Hollywood is a little better. Several, especially Cheng Jie, after the big hit of "Kung Fu", several films came to the door in a row, and they all featured him.

is the director Wu Sen, and all film and television companies have come to the door.

And after Wen Yi was nominated for an Oscar, those Chinese filmmakers who mixed in Hollywood naturally wanted to take Wen Yi's line.

Actually, they are still a little red-eyed.

In the "Expendables" that Wen Yi and Lionsgate collaborated on, many veteran action superstars were gathered. But an extremely important Chinese character in it is Wang Li, who is not very famous.

Wang Li's performance in "Kung Fu" is not bad, but compared with them, it is still much worse. Especially compared with the veteran superstars of "The Expendables", it is even worse. Obviously, there is not enough in it, but it is said that there are a lot of scenes in it.

But someone else took that role. Everyone can see that that is Wen Yi's reason. Of course, they also know that Wang Li is a signed artist of Wenyi's Jiayi Company.

Anyway, after the release of this "The Expendables", Wang Li's fame in Hollywood must have increased.

has a relationship with Wen Yi, and if he makes any moves in Hollywood in the future, he will naturally think of them first.

One more layer of relationship, one more doorway.

Among the nominations for "The Departed", the Best Adapted Screenplay Award is undoubtedly the one with the lowest weight. And the heavyweight is undoubtedly the best director and the best picture two.

Almost all of the heavy awards are in the back.

"The Departed" was nominated for an award, but the first award was the best cut. And this film, like in its previous life, won this award and got off to a good start.

After Best Cut, after two awards, it came to Best Adapted Screenplay.

Five films were nominated for the award. And the most popular is not Wen Yi's adaptation of "The Departed", although this film is favored by many film critics.

Many of the media commented that although it is a film adapted to China, it is a completely Americanized movie. What shocked them was that the screenwriter of the adaptation was actually the original screenwriter of the Chinese movie.

"You don't seem nervous at all? Is it in doubt? Francisco saw Wen Yi's expression on the big screen, and he was the calmest among the five people, and he was a little curious. After all, Francisco knows all those screenwriters, and many of them are Oscar regulars, but they are still not calm.

"I'm just better at hiding than they are." Wen Yi smiled and said.

"Huh!" Francisco smiled and was about to say something, but he didn't want the result to be announced immediately, and the entire crew suddenly jumped excitedly.

"The Departed" got off to a good start, winning the Best Cut, and then winning the Best Adapted Drama award. And at this time, there was still a sentence floating in the whole theater:

"The winner of the best adapted screenplay was Wen Yi of "The Departed"!" (To be continued......)
