Magnolia's Best Film and Best Director awards are none of Sun Peng's.

Like the Oscars, the judges felt that "Heroes" was too commercial and lacked a bit of "artistic flavor". And its high box office has naturally become an obstacle to winning awards......

For this rumored statement, Sun Peng obviously scoffed.

He prefers to believe that it is because "Hero" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, so the organizing committee of the Magnolia Awards is scrupledIf the Oscar nominations are not entered, will it make people question the fairness of the award and the compromise of business and box office?

You know, the influence of the Magnolia Award is getting bigger and bigger.

Fortunately, on the other hand, "Hero" won four awards, including Best Soundtrack, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Action Design, which can be regarded as some consolation.

and "Mulan", which of course won the best animated feature film!

In the words of the guests who presented the award to Xia Qingqing, this animation is "a milestone, and it is a sign that Chinese animation has entered a new era!" ”

At this award ceremony, Sun Peng finally gained a lot.

So when he was surrounded by reporters again after the end, Sun Peng did not leave in a hurry, but answered the question with a smile, and even said a few words about the new film with Lucas. However, when someone asked him about the start of the awards ceremony, he stood with Zhang Hailin and Liang Ren and chatted for a long time, whether he was considering forming a triumvirate crew in Huaxia, Sun Peng shook his head firmly.

"Obviously, it's not possible in a short period of time."

Shaking his head, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Although the cooperation with Brother Liang has always been very pleasant, and Director Zhang is also a senior in the film industry that I have always respected and looked forward to working with, but in the next two years, my work has been very full, and there are still a few scripts in my hand that have not ......been written."

……

"It's a pity, if you agree, it's super sensational news."

On the way back, Liu Chang shook his head and sighed: "Think about it, there is a movie cooperated by the three giants in Hollywood, and another movie in China...... Tut-tut, when the time comes, it will definitely be compared and pk by countless people, and the box office will not be low if you shoot casually! ”

Sun Peng obviously had a different opinion on her words, and chuckled: "Hehe, someone in China will compare it, right?" ”

"Well, it's okay to compare with China!"

"Haha."

smiled, Sun Peng did not answer Liu Chang's words.

Originally, he did think about it and wanted to write another script for Liang Ren, after all, this big guy wants to be famous and famous, and he wants to have acting skills, and it is indeed a pity if he doesn't cooperate. But as Sun Peng entered the stage of "science fiction + magic", this thought slowly faded Liang Ren's age and filming style are really embarrassing.

Maybe Sun Peng can find one or two films from his memory that are suitable for him, and the box office will not be too low after filming, but what's the point of doing so?

It's better to let him toss on his own, maybe he can find a way.

As for Zhang Hailin, another foreign director, to be honest, Sun Peng's interest is even lower, a person who started with costume films and became a world-class director, can Sun Peng still write him a "Brave Heart", or remake "Red Cliff"? So after thinking about it, it is still a young director like Wei Xiaolin, or a director like Chen Cheng who focuses on science fiction movies, that is the most suitable person to cooperate with Sun Peng.

"Okay, I see."

After listening to Sun Peng's words, Liu Chang shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm just a little worried, in the next period of time, it is estimated that the Internet will be full of news about your admiration for foreign countries." ”

"Haha, let them go."

Sun Peng also knows that this statement is inevitable, after all, he can't satisfy everyone, while moving Hollywood classics to China to shoot, there are requirements that European and American audiences must accept without paying any price.

So after thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I will enter the working state of "Frequency of Life and Death" for a period of time, and at the same time, I must start preparing for the preliminary preparations for "The Martian" as soon as possible, and they can go with them whatever they want......"

Sun Peng said so and planned to do so.

So after returning from the Magnolia Award ceremony, he kept a low profile again and concentrated on the final preparations for "Frequency of Life and Death". And this time, he was really more attentive and interested than any previous film shoot.

Because this "Frequency of Life and Death" is the first time that Sun Peng is truly under his own control.

In the past, whether it was "Dragon Gate Inn", "League of Assassins", or "Hero" and "Kill Bill", although Sun Peng would hang the director's name, in fact, there would always be one or two assistant directors around him, or parallel directors to help, and many times even Sun Peng provided ideas, and they came to help realize it!

But this time, Sun Peng is completely in control of himself, and Wang Zhen, an assistant director selected by Galloping Horse Pictures for him, is also a real assistant director, although he is experienced, he will not take the initiative to participate in the creation of the film, but will only be responsible for carrying out Sun Peng's orders.

In this case, Sun Peng is naturally enthusiastic.

However, in addition to the role of the father to be handed over to the thirty-nine-year-old Yang Ming, Sun Peng also needs a slightly younger male lead, that is, to play the son in the movie, the policeman who finally finds the truth.

There is still a month left before filming starts, but Sun Peng has never been found.

No way, Sun Peng's requirements are a bit high.

It's not about the requirements for acting skills, after all, his own directing level is average, and he doesn't want an old drama bone...... Well, the little drama bone guides himself on the set, and Sun Peng hopes that the other party has a certain acting skills, and at the same time is very patient, so that he can slowly explore people.

Of course, if the salary is not high and the fame is not small, it will be even better......

"Buzz ......"

Just when Sun Peng was secretly pondering, the mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and he picked it up and looked at the number: "Little wolf? I saw you at the venue just now, and I wanted to say hello...... Haha, there's no way, who let those two be big guys, we can't be so arrogant that we turn around and leave, right? ”

……

"Well, we'll see you at the stadium this weekend!"

……

"What? You turned down Shaklu Pictures? Why? ”

……

"Uh, that's fine."

After listening to Lang Chen's simple reason, Sun Peng blinked his eyes a few times, and smiled with some regret: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with such an idea. Although the first part of "The Matrix" was a box office hit and the second part was also very popular, it was a villain after all...... Ahem, it's a bit out of tune with your image. ”

Popular little fresh meat...... No, it can't be regarded as a little fresh meat now, after a few years in the film industry, Lang Chen can now be said to have made great progress compared to when he filmed "The Matrix 1". Especially after listening to Sun Peng's advice, Lang Chen not only starred in many movies to hone his acting skills, but also did not relax his training in martial arts, he also remembered what Sun Peng said, the style of action movies in the future will be completely revised......

No, it should be said that the adaptation of Chinese action movies in the past two years has begun.

The movement design with a more flexible body and more flexible movements gradually replaced the previous hard bridges and hard horses, and the well-proportioned leopards began to be more popular than the majestic lions and black bears!

Coupled with Lang Chen's tall figure and the appearance of Xiao Xianrou, the drama road is really getting wider and wider.

So although it is a little regrettable that Lang Chen refused to hacker 2, but if you think about it carefully, Sun Peng feels that it is quite reasonable: after all, in China, Lang Chen is now faintly moving towards the position of a first-line movie star, if he continues to play the villain just because "The Matrix 2" is a Hollywood blockbuster......

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't quite fit the positioning of his image.

So after chatting a few words, Sun Peng nodded and smiled: "In fact, there are more and more blockbusters in China now, with your current situation, even if you are the leading actor, it doesn't seem to be a big problem...... Hey? That's right! ”

"What's right?"

"Little wolf, do you still have a schedule for this year?"

While rubbing his chin gently, a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Peng's mouth: "I want to start shooting a new movie in April, a low-budget science fiction film, the shooting time is not long, if it is fast, two months will be enough......"
