Chapter 300: A Real Blockbuster
Chapter 300 A real blockbuster
Wen Yi did not stay in the United States for a few days before taking a plane back to China.
At this time in China, the popularity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the Oscars has not yet dissipated, and many media are still full of news about things.
And Wen Yi's whereabouts were not leaked, the road was calm, and there was no turmoil.
Wen Yi returned to China and did not immediately start preparations for "Inception", because immediately after the Oscars, there was also the Xiangjiang Academy Awards.
In the Xiangjiang Academy Awards, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is as good as the Oscars in terms of the number of nominations and the popularity of its awards.
In addition to the numerous technical award nominations, the four leading actors were all nominated, plus the veteran actor who played the flying fox was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and there were five actors who were nominated. In addition, there is the best action design that the Oscar does not have, and it was nominated without suspense.
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, these heavyweight awards are naturally the favorites of this year's Academy Awards. It's like there's a sweeping trend.
Among them, there are two Best Actresses, Yuan Fang and Lin Yuyan were both nominated for Best Actress.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was rated in some places as the best Chinese film last year. The best, not one of them. Of course, those are mostly votes from some fans, and it remains to be seen whether they will be affirmed by professional awards.
There were some wins at the Oscars, but after all, the heavyweight awards were missed. The media tacitly ignored it. But I have to admit that so far, there is just such a "I Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that has shown its face at the Oscars. The rest, shouting for most of the day. Not even a single nomination.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a tendency to sweep the Academy Awards. Not to mention the Academy Awards, it is the Golden Horse Awards, and the Golden Rooster Awards also have a trend of sweeping.
It seems that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the long-awaited award, not only the best cinematography and the best soundtrack, which won the Oscar statuette. The rest are Best Supporting Actress, Best Movie Song, Best Action Design. Of course. There is also the heaviest Best Picture, as well as the Best Director.
However, Ye Tian's art director, who won the Oscar statuette award, unexpectedly did not win. And others that did not win, such as the best adapted screenplay. Best Actor and Actress. Best Supporting Actor, Best Cut, etc.
Among them, Wen Yi won the best soundtrack, best director, and best movie song. And did not win such as Best Cut, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay Award, etc.
Comparatively speaking, the weight of the award is heavy. And those who have not won awards may not be so outstanding for a film. Or rather, not so much attention.
Among them, the most meaningful award for Wen Yi is undoubtedly the best director.
Wen Yi has directed a lot of films, and the reviews are good, and many films have been nominated for Best Director, but unfortunately they are only nominations, and they all missed out in the end.
"I made my debut as a musician, acted in two films, and fell in love with the profession of director! Because I like it, I do it without hesitation. So far, there have been a lot of films filmed, no money has been lost, countless awards have been awarded, and I don't know how many times I have been nominated for Best Director, but this is the first time I have won this award! Best Director, this award is undoubtedly very meaningful to me! Thank you to the jury, thank you to the crew for your support, and thank you to many fans for not giving up"
Wen Yi won the best director, but he made a lot more comments about winning any award, which also confirmed the importance he attaches to this award.
He has won many golden statuettes at the Academy Awards, that is, he has won several Oscars, but none of the golden figures who have won the Best Director award have said much, which shows that Wen Yi urgently needs to be affirmed by everyone more urgently for directors than others.
This has been analyzed by many media outlets.
Wen Yi made her musical debut and then starred in movies. This is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Singing and acting seems to be a matter of course.
Ke Wenyi acted in two movies, one supporting role and one protagonist, and then became a director amid doubts. At the time, he was undoubtedly under a lot of pressure.
But everyone has to admit that some people are born for movies. In their opinion, Wen Yi was born for movies. The first two films he acted in, both in a supporting role and in a leading role, were all nominated. Although he didn't win the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor in the end, it can be seen how surprising his talent in acting in movies is.
If acting in a movie is surprising, then making a movie is directly shocking.
The first film, "Crazy Stone", received rave reviews, exploded at the box office, and formed a storm, and its model was even imitated by countless foreign directors.
This is undoubtedly an incredible thing for a rookie director.
And what happened next was even more shocking.
Wen Yi successively filmed film genres that almost everyone was not optimistic about, and as a result, countless people were slapped in the face again and again. Whether it's a science fiction film, a cartoon, a love movie, or a martial arts film. He has made new charms to the film genre that many directors dare not touch again and again.
He even became the most successful director who broke out of Asia and into Europe and the United States.
The box office has a bumper harvest, but the fly in the ointment is undoubtedly such a young director who has repeatedly created the miracle of ZĂ o, who has been nominated for Best Director countless times, but has not won one!
This is inevitably a pity. And now, it is undoubtedly making up for this regret.
However, the sweep of the Academy Awards is undoubtedly just the beginning.
The subsequent Golden Horse Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were also unstoppable with a sweep.
Of course, that's all for later.
After Wen Yi participated in the Meet the Academy Awards, he immediately began to prepare for "Inception". The protagonist Dream Thief is served by Liu Qinghua, and the Dream Builder is served by Lin Yuyan. The dream thief's assistant is played by Wang Li, while the protagonist's wife, the tycoon, the dream thief, the pretender, the pharmacist and other characters, are not determined and need to be determined through an audition.
Of course, in addition to the need for Western actors to play, the rest of Wen Yi will naturally consider his own artists limitedly.
The news of Wen Yi's new film finally came out, and fans were naturally looking forward to it, but some actors tried their best to enter the crew, which can be described as showing their own powers.
This film is a big move, and it is rumored that it is a big investment in Hollywood. For being able to participate in such a film, it is natural to rush to it.
An unprecedented blockbuster, which has been circulating on the Internet and even in the media.
Of course, at this time, the meaning of the word "blockbuster" mostly refers to money.
With "100 million" as the number unit and "US dollar" as the coin unit, this is probably one of the few in the Chinese film circle, and even only Wen Yi dares to invest a huge amount of money like this.
Of course, the most important reason why those actors went to this film was not because of the large investment, but because the director of this film was Wen Yi.
"Zhang Li?" Wen Yi looked at Zhang Xiaogang with some surprise. He didn't expect that someone would find Zhang Xiaogang's head and come through his door. Of course, what I didn't expect was that person was actually Zhang Li.
Zhang Li is one of the most famous actresses in China today, and Lin Yuyan and Yuan Fang are now popular Chinese actresses in the world. But compared with Zhang Li, it is a little worse, and it is not as good as in terms of fame. And, in terms of acting, it's even more different.
Zhang Li's acting skills are recognized in Hollywood, after all, she has countless titles of international film awards on her head.
And Zhang Li has today's achievements, and her biggest hero is Zhang Xiaogang, who now recommends her to join the crew in front of herself.
Huaxia is a society of human feelings, not to mention that Zhang Xiaogang and Wen Yi have always had a good relationship. The cooperation between Huaxia Pictures, where Zhang Xiaogang works, and Jiayi Company has also been very pleasant.
Zhang Xiaogang's face, Wen Yi still has to sell. What's more, it is that Zhang Li, whether it is appearance, acting skills, or fame and other comprehensive conditions, the role of the protagonist's wife is indeed suitable.
"Huh? There's a role, and she's really a good fit! Wen Yi saw Zhang Xiaogang looking at him, thought about it, then smiled, and said, "Let's go through the motions!" â
Go through the motions! An old director like Zhang Xiaogang naturally knows the meaning in Chinese. It's just a show, and some people's mouths are gagged. (To be continued......)
