The news that "Hero" was selected for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film caused a stir on the Internet in China, and it also caused a lot of controversy in Asia, but almost no one paid attention to it in Europe and the United States.

Although the number of fans of Laobai in the United States is not small, few people think that he has been treated unfairly. Therefore, from the announcement of the list to the arrival of the Oscars, there has never been any waves.

Originally, there are more movies that have been "unfairly" in the history of the Oscars, who cares if you have an extra laobai?

As for Sun Peng's own words, after really accepting this result and looking for the five selected movies to watch it once, he immediately became calm.

Essentially, he was not angry at his defeat, but fearful that works from Earth would be treated unfairly.

But after watching those five movies, even if he is inclined to "Hero" in his heart, Sun Peng must admit that any of them have a high artistic standard - after studying hard for several years, Sun Peng can finally analyze the advantages and disadvantages of a movie from a professional point of view, rather than from the perspective of watching the excitement.

In terms of ornamentation and box office, "Hero" naturally beats them, but it's really hard to say when it comes to artistry.

After all, art is not mathematics, physics and chemistry, and there is an objective standard for scoring high and low scores, so no one should try to fool around. It is difficult to measure the merits of different types of movies and the styles of different countries, and the criterion for judging can only be the audience's preferences and tendencies. And the end result proves that the Oscar judges are more interested in films from Europe, and at the same time are not very interested in the name Laobai.

On social media in Europe and the United States, there are even many people who praise this behavior of defying power and insisting on the truth!

When he heard this statement from Lin Lin on the phone for the first time, to be honest, Sun Peng's mood and expression were quite subtle, because he really couldn't imagine that in the eyes of some people, he would become a powerful force in the film industry, while filmmakers from other countries would become the kind of people who suffered and let themselves be ruined in their eyes......

But by this time, Sun Peng was in no mood to pay attention to these trivial matters.

After deciding to win the top spot of the year's writers' list, the family had already left the capital and flew to a small island in the South Pacific. In Lin Lin's words, that is, his cousin has finally opened his mind after a long absence, and he is willing to spend a sum of money on enjoying life!

Sun, sand, and endless sea.

After chartering a whole island for a month, Sun Peng also sent invitations to his relatives and friends, anyway, whoever wants to go can go and live as long as he wants. And on this day, Zheng Jia also took a month's leave, so their family had enough time to spend time on it.

Merely......

It takes experience to spend money, and nouveau riche like Sun Peng especially needs it, otherwise he really doesn't know how to spend it with money...... Or should I say that it will not be spent.

After only a week on the island, Sun Peng began to feel bored.

forcibly stayed on the island for another week, but in the end he couldn't help it, and simply handed over the island to Zheng Jia, as well as the uncle and sister-in-law who had just come over to enjoy the slow life, and quickly escaped from the isolated world.

"Whew...... I'm a city creature indeed! ”

After getting off the plane at Beijing International Airport and getting in to pick up his car, Sun Peng let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Even this air seems to smell better mixed with car exhaust......

"But don't you spend most of your time at home in the city, what's the difference between you and the island?"

"Uh......"

Looking at Liu Chang's slightly contemptuous eyes, Sun Peng rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Don't talk about me, aren't you the same?" Stayed on the island for only three or four days and then ran away? “

"I'm different, I have something to do!"

Playing jokes with each other along the way, Liu Chang sent Sun Peng to his home, and then glanced at his small notebook before he got out of the car and said: "The Oscars will be held on February 19, and I have booked a ticket to Los Angeles on February 16......"

"Sixteenth? Why do you go so early? “

Glancing at Sun Peng, who looked puzzled, Liu Chang shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's very simple, because I made an appointment with the people of Haymens, Haggs and Capoca to see their progress, which is something that has been decided a long time ago...... By the way, Michael? Pete wants to treat you to dinner, are you interested? ”

In fact, there are many people who are interested in having dinner with Sun Peng, but Sun Ya has screened out most of them, and Liu Chang only chose Michael? Pete alone.

In their opinion, this guy has the value of having a meal together.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, they're all old friends anyway, of course it's no problem to have a meal...... By the way, I finally went to the United States and booked two more tickets, preferably in ......the front row."

……

His wife and children all continued to play in the water on the island, and Sun Peng, who returned to the capital, had plenty of personal space and time.

For two weeks, he did not go to Lao Bai's studio or Dreamworks, but spent all day with the experts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

"The Martian" has entered the final stage.

In fact, the so-called hard science fiction is covered by clouds and mountains, and laymen can't even think of it, especially Sun Peng. But with the original version as a reference, Sun Peng's entire "creation" process seems extremely simple.

He sketches out the storyline, comes up with ideas, and then the NASA experts fill in the blanks.

After all, the gap between the two worlds is still relatively large, especially the names and parameters of various equipment and aerospace equipment, etc., if you take out the original version directly, it will definitely be a joke. Whether the settings or techniques in various original books can be realized in this world, or whether they are operable, also need to be evaluated and modified by experts before they can be applied in it.

Sun Peng's goal is to make the content as impeccable as possible.

And not only that, but while he was gradually taking shape, he also worked with experts to improve the script of "The Martian", and even asked them to help complete the design of various spacecraft and equipment in the movie. For example, the huge spaceship, the landing module, and the old probe on Mars, and so on......

Fortunately, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration attaches great importance to this cooperation, and Sun Peng also took out a large amount of money to the experts involved, otherwise these heavy jobs alone are enough to make people refuse.

Even if you are famous, who is willing to give so much and not get something in return?

So with everyone's full dedication, on February 14, the script of "The Martian" was finally completed! All that's left is for NASA to conduct a final review, pick out the problems and omissions, and wait for the experts to complete the design drawings of the equipment and spacecraft.

As for Sun Peng himself, he has to leave for Los Angeles......
