Chapter 1374: Another Big Three?
If Sun Peng is the only one to come to the Magnolia Award this time, he will undoubtedly be placed in the most conspicuous position and become the object of frequent patronage by the camera, but this time, in addition, "Hero" also came to a lot of people, because in addition to Best Picture and Best Director, it also won Best Costume Design, Best Original Screenplay, Best Action Design and Best Soundtrack, etc., a total of seven nominations.
As the boss of the crew, Sun Peng naturally wants to sit with them.
However, on the way to his position, Sun Peng spent a lot of time, because from the big screen in the hall, everyone could see the footage of him walking the red carpet and entering the venue. So along the way, Sun Peng must keep saying hello to the stars, and then stop at any time to chat with each other.
"Yes, it is estimated that it will take at least ten minutes to walk over!"
In the position of the crew of "Hero", Wei Xiaolin saw Sun Peng moving forward step by step from a distance, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Sun Peng about the preparations for "Terminator 2", but now that he looks at it, it is estimated that the awards ceremony will start when the other party walks - no way, who let Sun Peng be the third to enter the venue, second only to Liang Ren and director Zhang Hailin!
After hearing his words, Wang Can, the costume designer of "Hero" next to him, said with a smile: "It's quite an exaggeration, even if it's Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin, it is estimated that there are not so many people who come over to greet them, right?" ”
"Hehe, it's different."
Shaking his head, Wei Xiaolin chuckled.
If you talk about the background and connections in the circle, Sun Peng is naturally far from the two super bosses, but if you talk about personal influence and strength, to be honest, Wei Xiaolin feels that Lao Bai is now the first person in Chinese movies!
No matter how powerful Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin are, how many movies can they make in a year?
Liang Ren as an actor may be better, basically the rhythm of one film a year, and at most he may shoot two or three films, but as a director, Zhang Hailin is a little reluctant to make one film a year, and one film in two years is a normal level, after all, the general low-cost investment, Director Zhang has disdained to play, and the nod of the tome from the beginning of the preparation to the final production can be completed in two years?
Therefore, in front of the prolific Lao Bai, what the two of them have an advantage is their connections and heritage.
With a few scripts a year, how many actors can be popular, and how many benefits will it bring to the film company? Therefore, Wei Xiaolin can even expect that as long as this situation is maintained for another two or three years, Zhang Hailin's final finale position may have to be given up......
“…… I've been too busy lately to go to the stadium, but it should be fine after this awards ceremony, and I should go once a week in the future, and see how I abuse you! ”
"I'm glad to be happy, I've heard of Director Zheng's name for a long time, and I finally saw it today."
"Ouch, Sister Chen, long time no see."
……
Although Sun Peng rarely attends these star-studded occasions, he has known a lot of stars over the years. And after several years of hard work and a few movies, he has more and more inventory in his heart, and he is less and less afraid to contact with filmmakers.
So on this occasion, he also seems to be more and more comfortable and no longer bored.
To put it bluntly, in fact, it is similar to the meaning of attending the annual meeting of surgeons in the previous life, and everyone chatting about it is actually the same routine, but the content of the conversation is different.
When he was chatting with a director in his fifties, someone suddenly patted Sun Peng on the shoulder, and then he heard a voice: "Teacher Sun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Brother Liang? It's finally here."
Turning his head to see that it was Liang Ren, Sun Peng naturally turned around immediately and gave the other party a warm hug. Anyway, they have collaborated on two movies, and Sun Peng and this big brother in the film industry are still very familiar, so it is a regular operation to hug them. But after looking behind Liang Ren, Sun Peng was slightly stunned and immediately stretched out his right hand: "Director Zhang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?" ”
"Haha, it should have been two years!"
As the finale of this year's awards ceremony, the great director Zhang Hailin did not have the slightest shelf at this time, and shook hands with Sun Peng enthusiastically: "First of all, congratulations on winning the best foreign language film in Japan!" Haha, I was talking to Liang Ren about this just now, and the big battle you made in Los Angeles......"
Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin stood with Sun Peng on the left and right.
As if reproducing the situation at the Oscars not long ago, when Sun Peng, Pitt and Lucas were chatting, the others saw that the three of them started talking very affectionately, and they stopped very consciously, and the director who was still greeting Sun Peng just now also turned around and left silently.
I can't insert my mouth when I'm standing next to it, so why are you staying here?
If it seems to a complete stranger to the Chinese film industry, this is just an ordinary three men standing together and chatting, but for people in the circle, these three people standing together seem to have an incomparably powerful aura in an instant, and people are involuntarily pushed out.
Liang Ren, who was unaware of this, or had become accustomed to it, was all focused on Sun Peng at this time, and said with a smile: "Xiaopeng, are you really planning to do science fiction and magic movies with all your strength recently?" I did the math before I came today, and it seems that except for the two cartoons of Capoca and DreamWorks, the rest is science fiction and magic, right? ”
"Haha, barely so."
Smiling slightly, Sun Peng nodded and said, "After all, these two types of movies have a high box office, and the scripts are relatively easy to write...... Hehe, I didn't expect to do so much before I knew it. ”
“…… Easy to write? ”
Hearing his words, Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin were speechless at the same time.
As the two most demanding genres of special effects in the film industry, sci-fi and magic are indeed the easiest to produce high box office, but only if the production company is willing to throw a huge amount of money into it to make a good movie. But there are so many movies of these two genres every year, and there are a lot of hundreds of millions of dollars invested, but how many can make a lot of money?
Half of the proportion, is there any?
Among them, there are not a few movies that have been dragged down by the script, especially some veterans in the field of science fiction and magic, and more have lost Maicheng!
Is the script easy to write? This guy is kidding, right?
However, in view of Sun Peng's brilliant achievements in the screenwriting industry, Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin did not dare to open their mouths to refute, they could only twitch the corners of their mouths, and their eyebrows jumped, and then they each contributed a roll of their eyes to Sun Peng.
Zhang Hailin and Sun Peng are not very familiar, that is, they have met twice, but Liang Ren is relatively casual, and soon smiled, and said half-jokingly: "Xiaopeng, since you made a movie of the Big Three in Hollywood, what about us in China?" It just so happened that the three of us met together today, do you want to wait for the award ceremony to be over, and then have a late-night secret meeting of the Big Three to make a big news? ”
