Volume 1 Chapter 245 New Script
On the first day of the month, the Academy Awards Jury officially announced the list of nominees for this year's Academy Awards.
Not surprisingly, Xinya Film Company made a big splash, and its name "Color is Empty" was nominated for Best Film, "Friend" was nominated for Best Director, and the highlight was Lin Xiaozhi's "Killer Leon", a film not only won the best film, best director, and best screenplay three heavyweight nominations, but also Xu Jinjiang, the little fairy Xu Ruoxuan and Liang Jiahui were nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively
"New Asia won 8 nominations alone, or dominate this year's Academy Awards"
"Favored by the judges of the Academy Awards, "Killer Leon" was nominated for six awards and became the biggest dark horse at the 9th Academy Awards"
"Winning the five most important awards, Lin Xiaozhi may become the biggest winner this year"
Three New Asia films were shortlisted for the Academy Awards, but they were in the limelight and received eight nominations. The 9th Academy Awards, which has not yet opened, has just announced the list of this year's awards, which has caused an uproar in Hong Kong.
In the face of the reporters who flocked to interview, Lin Xiaozhi let him shut up, and even the "Cheng Pao", which had the best relationship, did not buy the interview.
He knows too well the urine nature of this kind of film awards, every year in order to attract attention. There will be no shortage of some 'dark horses,' celebrities, who are born, and in the hype of criticism, accusations, disputes, etc., they will hype up their popularity. Let's not talk about the eight nominations, and in the end, how many of them can really get their hands on Xinya and him, even if they get all of them? Compared with a film award, Lin Xiaozhi pays more attention to the box office of the movie, when he can open the European and American markets and make more money continuously.
However, Xinya and Lin Xiaozhi do not express their position on such a thing, which does not mean that the media and the film industry will let him go.
On the latest edition of "Oriental Daily", Zhang Jianting, a well-known Hong Kong filmmaker, took the initiative to stand up and take over the topic, "New Asia was indeed beautiful last year, and "Killer Leon" is also a good movie. However, being nominated for the Academy Awards does not necessarily mean that it will win the award, there were still many good movies last year, such as "The Story of Yu", "Flying Twilight", "Bloody Heroes", "Miracle", "I Wish People Were Long", "God of Gamblers" and so on, all of which are very powerful awards. Xinya may not be able to laugh until the ...... the worst."
There are not many filmmakers with political beliefs in Hong Kong, and Cheung Kin Ting is one of the most famous. He was a member of the Hong Kong Democratic Party, graduated from the Baptist College, and went to the United States to study at his own expense, and he was the most admired by the political idea of the separation of powers in the United States, and was one of the voices most opposed to handing over Hong Kong to the Red Communist Party among Hong Kong filmmakers. Lin Xiaozhi did not allow anyone in Xinya to issue a declaration attacking the mainland, and many people in the industry have long been recognized as being close to the mainland. Although he didn't provoke Zhang Jianting, some people looked at him unpleasantly.
As soon as these words came out, it was naturally another storm. It's a pity that no matter how the media preaches, neither Lin Xiaozhi nor Xinya responded, and after a few months of busyness, his new script is finally going to be ready.
"It's finally done"
Lin Xiaozhi stretched his waist, made himself a cup of hot coffee and held it in his hand, but his eyes looked at a document that had just been printed on the table, and his face could not hide his joy.
Red Alert》
It was the script of the new film that he prepared for himself
The past 89 years have been a year of great changes, especially in Hong Kong, which is at the forefront of storms and conflicts.
The confrontation between NATO and Warsaw, which has lasted for decades, has entered its final stage, and the US-led NATO bloc has finally dragged down many of the Soviet Union's Eastern European allies with a more developed economy after decades of development. A peaceful evolution, the strategy is unguardable, and the red country has collapsed in just one year.
First, the Polish United Workers' Party was forced to agree to the legitimacy of the opposition parties and held parliamentary elections at the same time, which completely deprived Poland's red ruling party of its leadership. Subsequently, the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party announced that it would renounce power and adopt a multi-party and presidential system, and the Warsaw Group lost another member. At the same time, the GDR demolished the Berlin Wall and silently announced the decades-long dispute between East Germany and West Germany, and the GDR abandoned its arms and surrendered; In October, the general secretary of the Bulgarian Communist Party, Zhivkov, stepped down in disarray; In January, Romanian General Secretary Theosegou was secretly executed at Christmas......
The turmoil is not only in Europe, but also in Asia. The red fertile soil in the north has just experienced a Western-led turmoil a few months ago, and the difference in ideology is destined to fight to the death between the two camps, of course, this kind of hegemony between strong countries and powerful countries is even the reborn Lin Xiaozhi is also respectful, and he still knows how much he can do.
However, the great changes on the international stage last year also brought him a good idea, and the script "Red Alert" came into being.
With his fingers gently brushing the script, Lin Xiaozhi drank most of the cup of coffee in one gulp, letting the bitter taste continue to stimulate his taste buds, but the smile on his face became more and more intense.
This script seems to have some similarities with the name of a single-player game that will be born all over the world in a few years, but it has nothing to do with it. It should actually be called "Mission Impossible", which is a script adapted by Lin Xiaozhi based on a series of movies starring Tom Cruise that he once watched.
The reason for the name change is because Tom Cruise's movie is based on a TV series of the same name in the sixties and seventies in the United States. Two months ago, Lin Xiaozhi had just asked someone to buy a TV drama version of "Mission Impossible" video tape from the United States to bring back to Hong Kong. His "Red Alert" has an extremely strong American ancestry, which will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble in the future, but Lin Xiaozhi still gave the new work an attractive enough title - Red Alert
Last year's upheaval in Eastern Europe and the continental storm brought him a lot of creativity, and he is familiar with the conspiracy theories of European and American audiences, and Lin Xiaozhi has not forgotten to add this color. After several months of careful revisions to the plot, the final version was finally finalized after several drafts.
In late 19RR, the CIA sent an order to a Hagrid-led secret service team based in Asia, and there was evidence that a CIA intelligence officer might have been plotted by Soviet intelligence to rebel against the country, and that his identity in the U.S. Japanese Embassy in Tokyo was used to steal a list of CIA intelligence agents in East and Northeast Asia, and worse, that the intelligence officer was likely to be sent to Hong Kong. As Asia's most complex international metropolis, Hong Kong is not only home to British MI6 agents, but also to a large number of intelligence agents from Taiwan, mainland China and even the Soviet Union. Once this list falls into the hands of hostile forces, especially the Soviet intelligence organization KGB, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Hagrid was ordered to recapture information that might have been stolen by defected intelligence officers, and to spy on and even sabotage the KGB's intelligence network in the Far East. Soon, under the command of Hagrid, the main force of the secret service team was quickly all in place, and when they were about to recapture the stolen information, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the team members, including Hagrid, died one after another, and the intelligence disappeared, and only the Chinese-American agent Leon survived. Lyon, who escaped, met with his boss, but was accused of being a traitor because he had survived and the sudden extra $500,000 in his parents' account.
It turned out that the theft was false intelligence, and the real purpose of the operation was because the KGB had accidentally dismantled several US intelligence networks in Northeast Asia in the past year, and all the spearheads were pointed at the CIA, which may have been moles in East Asia and Northeast Asia. Leon realizes that he is not the real murderer, so he desperately escapes from the siege, and decides to find the real traitor, avenge the death of his colleague, and clear his name.
At this time, Angel, another team member who also survived, was reunited with Leon by the sister of Hagrid, the leader of the agent team who was killed.
Pretending to be a traitor, Leon immediately gets in touch with the KGB agent Max, who asks Leon to steal a copy of the CIA's plan called ⊥ Alert. Leon promised that he would be able to get the information, and in addition to $10 UU, he would be asked to hand over the traitor "Job". To this end, he found two suspended Chinese agents who found the CIA, and a group of four infiltrated the CIA headquarters and successfully stole the intelligence. But Leon, who had just arrived in Hong Kong, accidentally ran into Hagrid, the captain who was supposed to die.
Under Hagrid's lies, Leon gradually sorts out the context, and Hagrid and Angel are the real culprits behind the scenes. Soon, Leon, KGB agent Max, Hagrid, and the CIA gather on the train to deal intelligence and engage in a desperate struggle. After a thrilling confrontation, Leon finally eradicated the mole, but because he inadvertently saw the ⊥ vigilance led by the CIA to cause the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, Ji Lu was disheartened and created an accident and chose to remain incognito.
It took more than half an hour to finish the few more than 50,000 words on the manuscript paper, Lin Xiaozhi carefully put it into a file bag, and then stuffed it into the briefcase next to him, drank all the coffee in his hand, and got up to order a delivery breakfast with a nearby breakfast restaurant.
The "Happy Ghost 4" invested by Huang Baiming has gone through twists and turns, and finally started two weeks ago. I don't know if it's because Lin Xiaozhi promised to marry her the year after tomorrow and brought pressure to her, since she came back from Venice, this woman who used to be more clingy to him suddenly seemed to be a different person, crazy to take on dramas and accept advertising endorsements. The previous "Good Meeting" and the current "Happy Ghost 4", since he asked Li Jiaxin for the role of the heroine, the woman has not been here for more than a week since the movie started.
Although relying on Lin Xiaozhi to help her win a few dramas, Li Jiaxin's popularity is now rising rapidly...... Does fame mean anything to him, though?
About ten minutes later, the breakfast he ordered was delivered. As soon as the doorbell rang, his hungry stomach growled, and he immediately went out to get breakfast, and brought in a few newspapers he had ordered.
With his new script ready, Xinya is going to get busy again.
"Killer Leon" made a good start for New Asia in Europe, and "Friends", which had just been painted a few days ago, unexpectedly sold more than 10.17 million pounds at the box office in the United Kingdom, making ODN, which bought out its European and American rights, a lot of money, and sure enough, "Friends" is a black humor story that has a good market in Europe.
The two films have been successful in Europe, and what they need now is to make a big push and take advantage of this opportunity to add another fire to the popularity of Hong Kong films that are not popular in Europe.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in the European market, you can't just rely on one or two literary films that show your face at internationally renowned film festivals every year, but you have to rely on commercial films from big casts. This point has been proved by some of the 'big directors' who frequently win awards in international Grand Prix competitions from time to time in the mainland, proving that the reason why Hong Kong films are difficult to mix in Europe and the United States is that there are actually nothing more than three points, cultural differences, insufficient scenes and rough plots. But Hong Kong films also have their own advantages, such as fights and action, and the emotional lines in the movie are much more delicate than those of poor Hollywood blockbusters.
"In one go, I hope Red Alert can sell well in Europe"
Taking out the bottle of cream whiskey that he drank half of yesterday, Lin Xiaozhi poured himself a glass, sat in the kitchen and prepared to solve his breakfast, looking at the time, and did not forget to open the newspaper and take a few glances to see if there was any more eye-catching news recently.
Mr. Li Ka Shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, ended his wife's fasting and returned to take over the management of the company. 'Changshi, 'Huanghuang, which has been falling for more than half a month, stopped falling and rose, and yesterday's gains were L and 16. As the richest Chinese in the world, Li Superman's every move can easily affect Hong Kong's business community and financial market, which is also enviable
"Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev promised all the people that a major resolution would be issued at the beginning of next month, and it was suspected that the Soviet top brass would be affected by 'the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the impact, or the abandonment of one-party dictatorship"
"Zhou Nan officially arrived in Hong Kong to announce that he would take over as president of the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency, and the former president Xu Jiatun refused to return to China to perform his duties, and he has been hospitalized for half a month under the pretext of being unwell."
Lin Xiaozhi chewed on the siu mai, and after a few glances at the current political news in front of him, he lost interest. The gods fought, and the political arena in the past two years was definitely the most chaotic time. At the end of last year, when it was reported in the Hong Kong media that he had promised to ask for instructions from Sijiu City on behalf of 6 million Hong Kong people and agreed to lease Hong Kong for 1 billion yuan a year, they felt that this gang had not only come to an end but also betrayed the country. A country's territory can also be rented and sold by others at will, and what is it if it is not a traitor.
However, this kind of news is really boring, and he hurriedly swept the current affairs pages at the front of the newspaper, and Lin Xiaozhi quickly turned to the entertainment section.
However, when he saw it, his eyes instantly widened, and he saw that on the front page of the entertainment edition of today's "Oriental Daily", the headline was impressively printed with such a line of big words: "It is suspected that the old love is rekindled, and the king of the music world, Chen Baiqiang, has a private meeting with his former lover Weng Jingjing, and has a secret meeting in the private room of the restaurant for several hours."
Something went wrong
His heart sank, he raised his head and drank half of the cream whiskey in his glass, stuffed the remaining half into the refrigerator, picked up the newspaper and changed his clothes, picked up the car from the garage and drove to the company.
